Since demonic cultivators are constantly erging because of issues in their cultivation or other problems, and Demons also continously evolve from normal beasts and spiritual objects, it makes sense that neither the demonic path nor the Demon Race can truly be fully eradicated.
But how are their newer generation so strong then, rivaling the righteous path which has developed for countless eras? The inheritances of the ancient demonic cultivators and Demons should have already been destroyed completely back then...
There’s definitely more to this than what ets the eye. The Kunlun Saint Lord should give a proper explanation soon.
In fact, Tian Yongheng wasn’t the only one who had caught onto these pieces of information, but many others within this isolated secret realm knew that things weren’t adding up.
Sweeping a gaze across everyone present, the Kunlun Saint Lord continued, "You all must be wondering about the reason why the Demons and demonic cultivators managed to develop so much in just 3 eras even after their complete eradication back then, and that too right under the nose of the righteous path. Actually, there’s a reasonable explanation behind this, which originated from the ancient texts of the Divine Sovereign’s era itself."
As expected. It’s related to the Divine Sovereign.
Tian Yongheng thought, waiting for the Saint Lord to elaborate further.
But at that instance, he suddenly felt a Divine Sense briefly passing through him.
Had it been any normal Tribulation Transcendence Realm or even a Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator, they wouldn’t have been able to sense it at all!
His slightly closed eyes opened with a cold glint as he directly glared at the origin of the Divine Sense among tens of thousands of people seated there. He didn’t even bother acting discreet.
His actions imdiately caught the attention of various experts, specially Human Immortals, who began to secretly watch the situation, turning their own Divine Sense towards the person who tried to probe into Tian Yongheng’s cultivation just now.
It was actually the True Void Sovereign, Qin Wentian, the current head of the Great Qin Immortal Family and a Mid Stage Half Immortal Realm expert!
Observing the countless Divine Senses lingering around him and the blatant, provocative gaze of the Eternal Lord, Qin Wentian was at a loss for words. He didn’t expect the Eternal Lord, Tian Yongheng, to be able to even feel his Divine Sense inspection, forget seeing through it imdiately.
Most rumors say that he’s around the level of a Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator, while the actual reports and feats of him, such as killing Pei Shuanzhen of the Grand Sun Sect, point towards him being at least in the Immortal Ascension Realm.
His true strength is still unknown, and just from the fact that he was able to discern my Divine Sense in an instant, it’s basically confird that he’s on par with Human Immortals.
Damn it, I never thought he’d already be a Human Immortal, that too soone who’s around Mid Stage as well! Could the speculations of him being the reincarnation of an ancient entity be true after all?
I just wanted to check his cultivation base because I had a weird feeling from him. But now...
Qin Wentian gave a wry smile as he shook his head and looked at Tian Yongheng before speaking apologetically, "It was impolite of to try and probe using my Divine Sense, fellow daoist. I hope you don’t take offense."
Hearing his words, Tian Yongheng inwardly raise an eyebrow.
Sure enough, this old man has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. He knows when to back down and when to continue pressing forward. I would be considered too petty if I didn’t let go of this matter when he as the head of a prestigious major faction lowered himself before .
At that mont, his gaze beca unnaturally calm, as still as the ocean and immovable as a mountain.
But... I’m also the overlord of a Human Immortal level faction, even though it’s solely carried by my own strength. And the Great Qin Immortal Family... I have personal grudges against them.
"Fellow daoist... If I was any weaker than I am right now, unable to decipher your Divine Sense, would you have lowered yourself like that, or even admitted your wrongs?"
He suddenly asked in a low, neutral voice. However, his voice echoed throughout the entire secret realm, seemingly affecting every single formation altogether as it caused the small universe to tremble.
All the cultivators present could feel the unmistakably powerful divine might contained in each and every letter of the words he spoke!
Qin Wentian narrowed his eyes, and the next mont, waves of Divine Senses sweeped towards Tian Yongheng only to be deterred by an unknown force shielding his spirituality and consciousness.
*Boom!*
A ntal battle ensued almost imdiately as soon as Tian Yongheng himself launched his Divine Sense, crashing into the many other Divine Senses.
Simultaneously, the expressions of various Half Immortal level experts turned slightly grim, their faces pale as they quickly retracted their Divine Senses.
"This madman–how the hell is his Divine Sense so powerful!?"
"We cannot hold on any longer, I’m afraid you’ll have to handle this situation yourself, fellow daoist Qin."
"We’re fortunate that he didn’t use his full strength, otherwise, most of our Divine Senses might have been permanently damaged!"
"How did such a monster even manage to grow to such extent without the righteous path’s knowledge?"
They communicated through voice transmission, trying to regain their composure.
"This..."
Qin Wentian couldn’t help but be montarily speechless. He hadn’t expected the situation to escalate so quickly.
"Fellow daoist, aren’t you being too unconvincing right now? I even apologized to you, yet you still brazenly created this scene before the many cultivators present here. At least you could’ve practiced so self restraint and not sully the reputation of the righteous path, specially in the presence of the Kunlun Divine Mountain’s great cultivators!"
He said in a displeased manner, tacitly pulling the Saint Lord and the others into the situation as well and make them intervene.
Tian Yongheng snorted coldly, unfazed by the array of words thrown at him and just stated at Qin Wentian blankly before speaking.
"How am I being unreasonable? I’m just asking, would you have admitted what you were doing if I was any weaker than I am right now and couldn’t detect your Divine Sense?"
This ti, his words had even more pressure than before!
This fellow... Is a thought nut to crack.
Qin Wentian thought before answering, "I would have. Are you satisfied now?"
However, the next words that ca out of Tian Yongheng’s mouth rendered him unable to act calmly.
"Prove it."
"What?"
"Prove it that you would have been just like this if the situation was even slightly different. Show your sincerity."
What the...there’s has been no one who dared to talk to like this in my hundreds of thousands of years of life and remained intact!
But this guy... He’s different from the rest. His strength is, at the very least, on par with my own or possibly even greater. I cannot afford to provoke such a person, lest I bring disaster to my family along with myself.
Haaa... Damn it..
Qin Wentian couldn’t help but peer at the Saint Lord using his Divine Sense.
But he was dumbstruck the next mont.
The Saint Lord... Don’t tell he won’t take any action at all?
The Saint Lord of Kunlun was actually just watching the show with a blank expression on his face, having no intention of stepping in to help Qin Wentian avert the consequences of his actions.
From this alone, Qin Wentian realized that it was only because the Saint Lord had already made this decision did the Eternal Lord, Tian Yongheng, dare to push him this far!
He didn’t believe Tian Yongheng was so fearless as to offend the Kunlun Divine Mountain no matter how powerful of a being he was in his past life.
Kunlun Divine Mountain was a power beyond the reach of even the Immortal Gods themselves! It couldn’t be belittled in the slightest!
"...What do you want then to let bygones be bygones?"
Qin Wentian finally spoke in a low, deliberate voice, staring at Tian Yongheng with narrowed eyes.
Since it has co to this, I have no choice but to try and deal with him as peacefully as I can. If we fight here, then it would he a direct slap on Kunlun’s face. I don’t care about this fool, but if that happens, then the Qin Family might not be able to survive till the end of this era.
"What do I want? Hm.."
Tian Yongheng lightly tapped his chin, seemingly in deep thought.
What could I even want from you? Everything the system gives is top notch...I really can’t think of anything I need at the mont.
"Hmm...Since I can’t think of anything special right now, how about...
A hundred trillion Superior-Grade Spirit Stones?"
He finally said nonchalantly, raising a finger.
