Ever since Lei Yu had effortlessly explored the Sorrow Cave Heaven, encountering almost no dangers, Yu Ziqing felt that sothing was amiss.
Because it was completely different from what No. 4 had said.
He didn't think that the ancestors of No. 4, who left the travel notes, would deceive their descendants.
Objective records wouldn't intentionally docunt errors, as that would mislead their own descendants.
At most, they'd change "I got beaten up and dared not return" to "I respect my ancestors and do not wish to disturb them."
Then, when Yu Ziqing was sorting through the fragnts that had lost their power and ca across those tal book pages, he noticed sothing different.
So contents on those pages matched exactly what No. 4 had described.
If it were just that, Yu Ziqing wouldn't have thought too much about it.
But when he ca across the page depicting the Devil, he could instantly determine that the figure in the drawing was the Devil, with an unwavering certainty almost instinctive.
Yu Ziqing felt that sothing seed amiss.
Because that kind of instinct belonged to a hungry ghost, the instinct to instantly recognize a delicacy.
But for this instinct to be triggered so firmly, it needed a condition, that the thing really was the Devil, not just a drawing.
After thinking this, Yu Ziqing's scalp felt like it was about to explode.
He confird with No. 4 again that the drawing on the tal book page indeed depicted the Sorrow Cave Heaven.
Yu Ziqing then imdiately thought of a possibility.
Could there be a possibility that the ancestors of No. 4 didn't lie, and everything No. 4 said was true?
What Lei Yu experienced was also true.
The Sorrow Cave Heaven that No. 4 spoke of and the one Lei Yu visited were indeed the sa grotto heaven.
Even what Su Li ntioned, the records of the Shadow Departnt, were basically true.
He organized the tiline.
The first ti, a long ti ago, an ancestor of No. 4 had been there, where demonic qi was steaming, and evil road. It was the mausoleum of a formidable figure nad Heavenly Monarch Luoge.
No. 4's ancestor was "taught a lesson" and fled in embarrassnt, leaving ancestral commands for the descendants.
The second ti, over a hundred years ago, the Lihuo Institute, the Shadow Departnt, and the people of Crown Prince Dazhen, for so unknown reason, collaborated to explore the Sorrow Cave Heaven.
There, they encountered a powerful dead spirit.
The result was that two Dao cultivators from Lihuo Institute died, and half of the Shadow Departnt's senior mbers perished.
Most of Crown Prince Dazhen's people died as well.
At this cost, they managed to seal the formidable foe rumored to be a dead spirit.
They then reinforced the entrance protection of the grotto heaven.
The third ti was now, with Lei Yu entering for exploration, encountering no danger whatsoever, no demonic qi, no evil, everything gone. The mausoleum was just remnants and ruins, and the remaining treasures were almost all shattered.
When Yu Ziqing sorted through those treasures, he could clearly determine that most of the treasures weren't naturally damaged due to the passage of ti but were broken due to external force.
Putting all these clues together, Yu Ziqing felt his heart racing, coming up with a bold hypothesis.
Yu Ziqing picked up those tal book pages and quickly rushed to where Yang was.
"Yang, stop for a mont. I feel that sothing big is about to happen."
"Let's take a look first."
Yu Ziqing randomly placed those tal book pages on the ground, then quickly recounted what he knew.
"Do you think there's a possibility that the rumors weren't exaggerated but minimized?"
"Minimized?"
"The legend says they paid a huge price to seal that dead spirit. What I an is, is there a possibility that not only did they seal the dead spirit but the entire grotto heaven?"
Yu Ziqing's face showed a hint of shock as he pointed to the page of the Devil.
"I trust my instincts, that is a Devil, not a drawing.
If one were to seal a Devil and not just a dead spirit, the most thorough and safest way would naturally be to seal the entire grotto heaven.
Am I wrong?"
Yang stared at those tal book pages, remained silent for a mont, then suddenly extended a hoof, stomping heavily on the page of the Devil.
"Damn?!" Yu Ziqing was startled.
In an instant, what seed like an ordinary and sowhat deford tal book page, with its material looking not very good, suddenly revealed densely packed runes. After they erged, layers of Daoist patterns interlinked all the runes.
A terrifying pressure appeared out of nowhere, instantly retaliating Yang's strength, sending him flying back as a blurred shadow.
Yang climbed out of the rubble, his expression serious.
"If unsure, just try it. Anyway, no matter how strong this Devil is, falling into the hands of millions of hungry ghosts here would result in ants nibbling an elephant to death."
No need to ask now, no need to guess, the result was already clear.
The current Sorrow Cave Heaven was already an empty shell.
Everything true within the original Sorrow Cave Heaven was sealed in a tal book by those two ruthless people from the Lihuo Institute back then.
Yang extended a hoof, gently touching each tal book page, until he saw the only golden tal book page, looking at the figures on it, speaking in a deep voice.
"The Sealing Secret Technique handed down since ancient tis.
The most powerful two families were the Feng Family of Jiang Clane and the Yin Clan of Ji Clan.
Nowadays, only such long-standing families would separate the surnas."
