They had plotted for nurous epochs, as generation after generation of people strived with their lives.
Everyone understood what they were doing, sothing so grand.
Revival or, should I say, the rise of a race.
Finally, one day, they launched the ultimate war.
The Demon Lord, wielding the Sky Piercer, dressed in his battle robes, advanced, step by step, toward the ten great Immortal Sects amid the battle songs from distant skies.
That great battle lasted for decades.
In the end, the ten Immortal Sects crumbled under their assault, defeated and disorganized.
The so-called Immortals lay as corpses trampled underfoot.
As they watched, the efforts of countless people across several epochs were on the verge of being realized.
No one had expected that the Heavenly Dao would intervene in this matter.
The Heavenly Dao cast down boundless divine punishnt, the mighty power of heaven and earth unstoppably devastated the Demon Race.
In an instant, the situation drastically changed, and with the help of the Heavenly Dao, the ten Immortal Sects launched a counterattack.
The Demon Race was forced to retreat step by step, coming under heavy siege from the entire continent.
At the critical mont, the Demon Lord stood out.
He sent everyone into the Ancient Demon Cave, into the Exiled Lands.
It was a place beyond the reach of Heavenly Dao.
A land abandoned by the cosmos.
Just like the Demon Race itself.
The Demon Lord alone halted everyone.
It was the last ti the demons saw the Demon Lord, an image forever etched in their mories.
The Demon Lord, holding the Sky Piercer, perished alongside the Sect Masters of the nine great Immortal Sects amid the divine punishnt.
That very Sky Piercer was taken back into the Ancient Demon Cave by those who swore to return with it.
His battle robes and body disappeared completely.
"After one cycle of reincarnation, I will return.
I hope to join forces again to devise great plans for the Demon Race," these were the man’s final instructions.
As he said these words,
he laughed, "When we return once more, we shall overturn even the heavens.
Together, we will forge an era of prosperity,
An era in which our Demon Race can thrive."
After they entered the Exiled Lands, the Heavenly Dao and the ten Immortal Sects joined forces to seal it.
Ensuring that the Demon Race could never leave the Ancient Demon Cave for all eternity.
…
Inside the Ancient Demon Cave, as the scene ca to a standstill, it slowly disappeared.
Xu Zii stared at the mist of Demonic Qi evolving into black fog with a focused gaze.
"Has our lord understood?" Zen Nightmare Demon General inquired.
"Logically, after the destruction of the Cosmos Ze Era, everything should have vanished," Xu Zii asked.
"Why are there still so many targeting us?
What’s the deal with the seal on the Yuan Central Continent, and the so-called Holy Ancestor and Holy Court?"
"The people of the ten Immortal Sects did not all perish, just as we too have survived.
They, just like us, ca from another epoch to this new era," Zen Nightmare Demon General explained.
"Moreover, they should have been plotting since the Mythical Era.
The so-called Holy Ancestor should be the only Sect Master of the ten Immortal Sects who survived.
Of course, this is just my guess since we cannot leave this place.
Many specifics are also beyond our ability to uncover."
"How can we break the seal on the Exiled Lands?" Xu Zii inquired.
"This matter, once our lord reaches the Heaven Beyond Heavens, will naturally beco clear," Zen Nightmare Demon General said with a smile.
"The Demon Race has waited here for several epochs, a bit more ti won’t make a difference.
As long as our lord can safely return, that is better than anything."
Hearing Zen Nightmare Demon General’s words, Xu Zii continued to inquire, "If what you’ve just said is true, then I shouldn’t be a person of the Demon Race, right?"
"I do not know where our lord originates from, only that you suddenly appeared and led us on a rise," Zen Nightmare Demon General stated.
"I understand," Xu Zii nodded slightly.
She had almost figured out everything she needed to know about the Demon Race, and for the ti being, she also had a brief understanding of the enemy’s identity.
All of this was in preparation for entering the Heaven Beyond Heavens.
"Master, we will wait for you in Heaven Beyond Heavens," the Zen Nightmare Demon General said.
"Heaven Beyond Heavens leads directly to the Ancient Demon’s Cavern."
"Good, then wait for my triumphant return, to battle joyfully with you all once more," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"We shall see our Master off," accompanied by a loud shout.
All mbers of the Demon Race knelt down again, their black-clothed figures rumbling like thunder.
The Demonic Qi around roared towards them as if dancing in celebration of the scene.
The portal in front of her slowly closed, and when Xu Zii opened her eyes again, she was back on the high platform she had been on before.
The sealing power of the outer world had dissipated on the path she returned by.
The Great Emperor’s illusion gradually faded within the portal.
Xu Zii raised her head to look at the sky, where Demonic Qi was swirling above.
She had left Demon Vanquishing Ridge.
...
In Immortal Town, at this mont because of the disturbance at Demon Vanquishing Ridge, the whole town was in turmoil.
They had lived here for so long and rarely seen such a scene.
Monk Da Zhi watched Xu Zii’s returning figure and slowly rose to his feet.
"Is it done?" he asked.
"Yes, I’ve found out what needed to be known," Xu Zii nodded her head.
"What’s next? Where are you going?" Monk Da Zhi asked.
"Just waiting for Destiny to arrive," Xu Zii replied.
"If there’s still ti, I’ll pay a visit to Heavenly Dao Academy."
She still had on her mind the Nine-Bend Godly Flas and the incomplete True Divine Sword in her hands.
"Then let’s go," Monk Da Zhi said with a smile.
"Enjoy the calm before the storm quietly."
Monk Da Zhi lifted his head to look at the firmant, where the signs of Destiny had begun to take shape.
Half the sky was already occupied by Destiny.
When the entire firmant was covered, it would be the day when Destiny took form.
...
Heavenly Dao Academy was situated in the Supre Domain.
If one were to ntion the strongest force in the Supre Domain, two would naturally co to mind:
Slaying Immortal Sect and Heavenly Dao Academy.
As an academy established since the Wild Desolation Era.
The history of Heavenly Dao Academy could be said to be older than any Imperial Rule Immortal Sect.
The students that erged from it were all extraordinary.
Among them were Great Emperors, leaders of entire sects, and many legendary mighty individuals.
If the students from Heavenly Dao Academy were to be gathered together, it’s feared the entire continent would tremble.
Persisting to the present from the ancient Wild Desolation Era, despite countless setbacks,
it’s still evident how powerful this force is.
Currently, it’s April, with the season just having moved past winter.
Jade has dressed the trees tall, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down.
Spring ans the revival of all things, everything striving and thriving.
Heavenly Dao Academy, located in the Invincible Domain, is within Heavenly Dao City.
Putting Heavenly Dao Academy aside, the city alone covers several hundred thousand square kiloters,
equal to half the territory so Imperial Rule Immortal Sects rule over.
Inside this vast and boundless city, at this mont, life is bustling and flowers are blooming like brocade.
With the arrival of spring, the triennial recruitnt season of Heavenly Dao Academy has already begun.
Students from all corners of the world, from the five major realms and even other continents have gathered in countless numbers here.
