Chapter 451: She Left You a World!
Su Xing, upon hearing this, felt a deep resonance.
The saying "All beings below the Great Luo are like ants" wasn't just an empty phrase.
If the alien races didn't possess beings comparable to a Primordial God, even if they had dozens of First-Rank Divine Beings, they would be utterly insignificant!
With just one or two top-tier forces joining hands, dispatching a couple of Great Luo Golden Immortals, the alien races could be annihilated in the blink of an eye!
But unfortunately, the alien races did have beings comparable to the Great Luo… and not just one!
In fact, the alien races had grown so powerful that they now outnumbered the cultivators of the Three Thousand Worlds combined!
But was it that the alien races had grown to this level over millions of years?
Or were they always this powerful, merely concealing their true strength?
"If it's the former, then it's fine. But if it's the latter…"
At this thought, a chill ran down Su Xing's spine.
If the alien races had been hiding their true strength all along, only revealing it at the opportune moment… it was simply too terrifying!
Because it would mean that the alien races had come with the sole purpose of wiping out the entire human race from the very beginning!
"So, is it the former or the latter…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, unable to discern the answer.
From beside him, the Heaven Demon General continued:
"The Luo Tian Sect, from its peak to its decline, has experienced millions of years…"
"But the battle that truly turned the Luo Tian Sect from a dominant position to a disadvantage, the battle that ruined their great prospects, was the one where the Luo Tian Patriarch was ambushed and severely wounded…"
"In that battle, the Luo Tian Sect lost dozens of Taiyi Realm cultivators, including Patriarch Wu Ge, who fell in battle… Hundreds of Golden Immortals perished without entering the cycle of reincarnation!"
"After the Luo Tian Sect's defeat, their strength greatly diminished… from the strongest force in the world, they gradually became a tail-ender among the top-tier powers…"
At this point, a hint of anger flickered in the Heaven Demon General's eyes.
"That battle took place about eight million years ago…"
"At some point, a rumor spread through the Three Thousand Worlds…"
"The Luo Tian Mirror, one of the three Great Chaotic Treasures of the world, was in the hands of the Luo Tian Patriarch!"
"And more importantly… the rumor claimed that in the era when the path to Sainthood was severed, the Luo Tian Mirror was the only hope for attaining Sainthood…"
"It was also because of the Luo Tian Mirror that the Luo Tian Patriarch was able to become a top-tier Great Luo within just a few million years, establishing the vast Luo Tian Sect!"
Su Xing's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. The Luo Tian Mirror held the secrets of Sainthood?
Was this rumor true or false?
He had possessed the Luo Tian Mirror for so many years, gone through dozens of simulations, and it seemed he hadn't discovered any secrets of Sainthood within it!
While the Luo Tian Mirror was powerful, it only helped to save a large amount of cultivation time and accumulate vast resources… it was more of a strategic artifact.
It didn't seem to have much to do with the secrets of Sainthood…
"Could it be because I haven't fully repaired the Luo Tian Mirror?" Su Xing pondered.
Unaware of Su Xing's thoughts, the Heaven Demon General continued:
"But rumors are just rumors… even the Luo Tian Patriarch himself didn't know if the Luo Tian Mirror held the secrets of Sainthood…"
"However, with the Luo Tian Patriarch's pride, he didn't deny it either… thus, the top forces of the Three Thousand Worlds set their sights on the Luo Tian Patriarch!"
"They hoped for the Luo Tian Patriarch's death… as long as the Patriarch perished, they would have a chance to obtain the Luo Tian Mirror!"
"At that time… I, as a hidden lineage of the Luo Tian Sect, was traveling the world in disguise… with the support of the Luo Tian Sect's resources, I reached the eighth level of the Great Witch Body Tempering Technique within two million years, my strength not inferior to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
The Heaven Demon General spoke with a hint of pride.
Achieving the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in just two million years… such speed was truly awe-inspiring.
Even in ancient times, among the Witch Clan, he would have been considered a top-tier prodigy.
Even Su Xing, without the assistance of the simulator, would have been far inferior to the Heaven Demon General!
"After attaining the strength of a Great Luo, I realized the Luo Tian Sect was in grave danger… so I wanted to return to Luo Tian Realm for aid."
"But my whereabouts were somehow discovered… a cultivator I never expected blocked my path back to Luo Tian Realm!"
At this point, the Heaven Demon General gritted his teeth and spat out a name:
"The Paragon of Righteousness… Qing Yunzi!"
"At that time, Qing Yunzi had already been a renowned Great Luo Golden Immortal for a long time… my strength was naturally no match for his!"
"And he didn't try to kill me, he simply prevented me from returning to the Luo Tian Sect…"
Su Xing's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
It was Qing Yunzi who stopped the Heaven Demon General!?
Although Su Xing had vaguely deduced this before, hearing the Heaven Demon General confirm it sent Su Xing's worldview into a tailspin!
Could Qing Yunzi be a human traitor?
But based on Su Xing's understanding of Qing Yunzi, it didn't seem like he was capable of such an act.
Qing Yunzi, though pursuing eternal life, had used some underhanded tactics.
But overall, compared to most cultivators in the cultivation world, he was far more righteous.
He could be considered a righteous cultivator… he shouldn't have done something like betraying the human race!
Just as Su Xing was filled with doubts, the Heaven Demon General said:
"Sigh, I only learned later… Qing Yunzi was not a human traitor… but his actions did arouse suspicion of treachery!"
"Later, Qing Yunzi explained it to me."
"Before he became a Great Luo, he had encountered the Luo Tian Patriarch… the two of them had entered an ancient secret realm to explore, and each gained something."
"What Qing Yunzi obtained was the 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones' technique… after cultivating it to the level of a Great Luo, he vaguely sensed something was amiss."
"Therefore, Qing Yunzi consulted the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to seek a way to resolve the flaws in his divine ability…"
"In the end, the answer given by the master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion pointed to the Luo Tian Sect!"
"Coupled with Qing Yunzi's recollection of the incident where he and the Luo Tian Patriarch entered the secret realm together… he naturally became even more suspicious that the Luo Tian Patriarch possessed a method to remedy the flaws in the 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones' technique."
Pausing for a moment, the Heaven Demon General said:
"Therefore, Qing Yunzi later went looking for the Luo Tian Patriarch, hoping to obtain the method to remedy the flaws in the 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones' technique…"
"The Luo Tian Patriarch, who had already had a conflict with Qing Yunzi in the secret realm, naturally refused… and a grudge was formed!"
"The enmity of obstructing one's path was greater than the heavens!"
"Later, the Luo Tian Patriarch tried various methods to remedy the flaws in the 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones' technique, but none were successful."
"Until shortly before the outbreak of that war, the Luo Tian Patriarch divined that his chance for Sainthood was hidden within the Luo Tian Sect!"
"Therefore, after much deliberation… Qing Yunzi chose to take action!"
"While he didn't directly attack the Luo Tian Sect, Qing Yunzi also chose to block my path to the Luo Tian Sect…"
"In the words of that old geezer: Every bite and every sip has its predetermined fate, the Luo Tian Patriarch obstructed his path… now it was his turn to reciprocate, this is the balancing of cause and effect!"
Su Xing, after hearing this, furrowed his brows slightly.
He had a somewhat clearer understanding of the events of that time.
While Qing Yunzi didn't directly destroy the Luo Tian Sect, he did play a role in pushing the Sect towards its demise!
But Su Xing didn't consider this a particularly evil act.
After all, Qing Yunzi didn't directly betray the human race.
And the Luo Tian Patriarch had obstructed his path, making them mortal enemies…
It wasn't really a matter of who was right or wrong, was it?
But from the perspective of the Luo Tian Sect, Qing Yunzi was undoubtedly an enemy.
Thinking about this, Su Xing sighed and said:
"The past is gone… a thousand years have passed, and there are few left of the Luo Tian lineage, is this cause and effect settled now?"
After hearing Su Xing's words, the Heaven Demon General glanced at him and sneered:
"Humph, it's not that easy."
"If it weren't for the current crisis of the alien race invasion… this old man would definitely go to Qing Yuan Realm to teach that Qing Yunzi a lesson!"
The Heaven Demon General then seemed to have thought of something and said:
"However, I heard that Qing Yunzi, affected by the flaws in the 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones' technique… has fallen into demonic possession, which is quite gratifying indeed!"
"Hahaha~"
The Heaven Demon General let out a few hearty laughs.
Su Xing remained silent after hearing this.
The Heaven Demon General was indeed someone who valued justice and revenge, but he was also very straightforward!
"Sigh… unresolved grudges, it seems that seeking the Heaven Demon General's help to resolve Qing Yunzi's demonic possession is out of the question…"
Su Xing thought to himself.
He had originally planned to have the Heaven Demon General help him search for the Heavenly Yang Grass, after all, the Heaven Demon Realm was his domain.
But now, it seemed Su Xing couldn't directly tell the Heaven Demon General about this.
He had to conceal it…
After some thought, Su Xing still tried to persuade him:
"Qing Yunzi's fall into demonic possession is not a good thing for our human race!"
"Although, standing in the position of a Luo Tian successor, I despise him…"
"But the Three Thousand Worlds are not as strong as they once were… the alien races are powerful, and Qing Yunzi was a righteous cultivator…"
"With Qing Yunzi falling into demonic possession, Qing Yuan Realm will lose its pillar, how long can they withstand the alien races?"
"The principle of 'when lips are gone, teeth will be cold' applies, once Qing Yuan Realm is occupied… the pressure on the other realms will increase, how can they escape unscathed?"
"By then, the human race's extinction… will likely not be far off!"
Su Xing appealed to reason and emotion, analyzing the situation for the Heaven Demon General.
The Heaven Demon General naturally understood this, and after hearing Su Xing's words, he didn't refute.
He merely snorted coldly, acknowledging Su Xing's statement.
Even so, the Heaven Demon General didn't reconcile his grudge with Qing Yunzi.
Seeing the somewhat subtle atmosphere, Su Xing quickly continued:
"Senior… what happened after that?"
Upon hearing this, the Heaven Demon General suppressed his displeasure and continued his reminiscing:
"After that!"
"The alien races laid a heavenly net, led by 'Slaughter', the leader of the seven alien Primordial Gods, they launched a combined attack… and invaded Luo Tian Realm!"
"Other forces either fanned the flames… or stood by and watched, allowing Luo Tian Realm to be invaded!"
"No matter how strong the Luo Tian Sect was, how could they withstand seven Primordial Gods?"
"After a war that lasted for tens of thousands of years, the Luo Tian Sect's foundation was exhausted, and it was beyond salvation…"
"The Taiyi Realm cultivators were all wiped out, the Golden Immortals were decimated… the Luo Tian Patriarch also joined the battle after being severely injured, and eventually died from exhaustion…"
"When I arrived at Luo Tian Realm, it was all too late…"
"I only saw the Luo Tian Patriarch one last time…"
At this point, a glistening tear flickered in the Heaven Demon General's eyes, as he said:
"Originally, I wanted to share the fate of the Luo Tian Sect…"
"However, the Luo Tian Patriarch seemed to have foreseen that the outcome was already decided, and even with my addition, it would be futile…"
"Therefore, he hoped that I would preserve my life force, to safeguard part of his legacy… until a new opportunity arose, perhaps the Luo Tian ambition could be revived!"
Su Xing, after hearing this, had a pretty good grasp of the events of that time.
The Heaven Demon General was indeed a successor of the Luo Tian Sect.
But due to his Witch Clan bloodline, he wasn't capable of shouldering the entire legacy of the Luo Tian Sect… so he had to preserve a portion of the Patriarch's legacy.
Hearing this, Su Xing felt a little confused and asked:
"Even if those major powers were unwilling to help… what about the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"
"The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has always taken the responsibility of protecting the human race, they shouldn't have stood idly by, right?"
The Heaven Demon General nodded slightly after hearing this:
"Indeed, during that period… the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was one of the few top-tier forces that were on the same side as the Luo Tian Sect!"
"But unfortunately, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was responsible for the safety of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, and couldn't provide much help to Luo Tian Realm."
"Moreover, including the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, all the forces didn't believe that the human race would lose to the alien races…"
"They always thought that they should eliminate the Luo Tian Sect first, and then slowly wipe out the alien races at their leisure."
"Even the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion believed that, until the human race faced a crisis of survival, the actions against the Luo Tian Sect were merely internal human conflicts…"
Pausing for a moment, the Heaven Demon General then said something that made Su Xing's hair stand on end.
"But who knew?"
"It was only when the Luo Tian Patriarch was on the verge of death that he discovered… the strength of the alien races was far from simple!"
"Among the alien races, there were beings… above the Primordial Gods!"
Su Xing's scalp tingled upon hearing this!
Sure enough, Su Xing's guess was correct!
Primordial Gods were equivalent to Great Luo Golden Immortals… which meant that among the alien races, there were beings comparable to Saints!
Although Su Xing had always suspected this, he lacked concrete evidence.
Now that he heard the Heaven Demon General confirm it, Su Xing knew that the burden was still heavy.
The path to Sainthood was closed to the human race… while the alien races had beings comparable to Saints.
Unless the human race produced a Saint, how could they possibly resist the alien races?
They were now like fish on a chopping board… if the alien races wanted to, couldn't they wipe out the human race at any time?
Fortunately, the Heaven Demon General's following words gave Su Xing some hope.
"However, due to some reasons… the alien beings above the level of Primordial Gods cannot directly enter the Five Great Realms…"
"Hehe, it's truly laughable… when the top forces of the human race learned that the alien races' strength was beyond imagination, that they possessed Primordial Gods… they still believed that as long as they eliminated the Luo Tian Sect first and obtained the Luo Tian Mirror, they could obtain the legacy and thus produce a Saint to drive out the alien races!"
"Unfortunately, they nurtured a tiger as a threat… now the alien races have reached a point where the survival of the cultivators is at stake!"
The Heaven Demon General chuckled a few times before continuing to reveal the secrets of the Luo Tian Sect.
"Later, when the Luo Tian Sect was on the verge of destruction, to ensure that the legacy continued… three backups were made!"
"The first backup involved gathering the Luo Tian Sect's trustworthy elites, leading some promising young cultivators, and fleeing to various realms within Luo Tian Realm, as well as neighboring realms…"
"This was to ensure that the lineage could be passed down… but there were already traitors within the Luo Tian Sect at that time, so it's unknown how much of the legacy was actually preserved…"
Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this.
In reality, the Luo Tian legacy that Su Xing had collected was precisely the result of those Luo Tian Sect disciples leading promising young cultivators to various realms.
But Su Xing had explored so many times, and he hadn't found a single living Luo Tian successor…
There was no doubt that the first backup had failed.
"The second backup was that after the Luo Tian Patriarch fell in battle, the Patriarch's mount, the Five-Colored Ox, led a portion of the Luo Tian Sect disciples and sealed themselves… all the disciples of the Sect entered the Luo Tian Mirror!"
"From that point on, the Luo Tian Mirror was sealed… no one knew when it would be unsealed until a true successor of the Luo Tian Sect appeared!"
At this point, the Heaven Demon General glanced at Su Xing, his eyes filled with a hint of admiration and said:
"Judging by your current cultivation and strength… you should have inherited the most crucial legacy of the Luo Tian Sect…"
"If Spirit'er Shi Shu were still alive in the heavens, she would surely be pleased!"
Su Xing pursed his lips after hearing this. Luo Ling'er, naturally, referred to the Luo Tian Patriarch.
And given the Heaven Demon General's seniority, he should naturally address the Luo Tian Patriarch as 'Shi Shu' (a respectful term for a senior female relative).
After a moment of silence, the Heaven Demon General finally said:
"As for the final backup for this legacy… it's naturally me!"
"When Shi Shu Ling'er was dying, she entrusted the most crucial legacy to me!"
"She said, if a sufficiently outstanding Luo Tian successor appeared, someone with the potential to revitalize the Luo Tian Sect's ambition… then I should pass this legacy on to him!"
"For millions of years, I've encountered several promising Luo Tian successors… but they all died untimely deaths."
"They all failed to meet the requirements to inherit this legacy…"
"Only you, I believe… with your current potential, you've met the requirements!"
Su Xing couldn't help but ask:
"Senior… so, what exactly did Patriarch Luo Tian leave me?"
The Heaven Demon General took a deep breath, his eyes seemed to be filled with reminiscence and vagueness, before finally speaking:
"She… she left you a world!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 452: The Heaven Demon Black Orb, A Legacy That Even Great Luo Golden Immortals Would Envy!
A world!?
Su Xing's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
His eyes held a trace of confusion as he looked at the Heaven Demon General.
The Heaven Demon General sighed, extended a finger towards the nearby teardrop, and said:
"Do you know… this teardrop seals the passage through which the alien races invaded the Three Thousand Worlds in the past?"
"If this seal is broken, even more, and more terrifying alien races will invade the Three Thousand Worlds!"
"This teardrop is a manifestation of the Heaven Demon Realm's World Will… and also the Luo Tian Patriarch's most powerful divine ability – Spirit Realm!"
"In the past, the Luo Tian Patriarch reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm path… even the Saints of ancient times, in the domain of Spirit Realm, were probably far inferior to the Luo Tian Patriarch!"
"The Luo Tian Patriarch's Spirit Realm was vast enough to encompass the entire Luo Tian Realm!"
"That is… an entire Grand Thousand World!"
Pausing for a moment, the Heaven Demon General continued:
"When the Luo Tian Sect was defeated, and Luo Tian Realm was shattered… the Luo Tian Patriarch keenly realized that if the alien races' passage to the Three Thousand Worlds wasn't completely sealed."
"Then, within a million years, the human race would be completely overrun by the alien races!"
"Therefore, the Luo Tian Patriarch sacrificed her life, pushing the Spirit Realm path to its limits… with the aid of the Heaven Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao, she finally sealed the passage, transforming it into a teardrop, forever barring the alien races…"
"From that moment on, the alien races from outside the Three Thousand Worlds could no longer enter in large numbers… thus extending the human race's fortune for millions of years!"
"But unfortunately… the Heaven Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao can no longer hold on for much longer… once the seal of this teardrop is completely broken, it will be the time for the human race's extinction!"
Su Xing's heart was shaken by this revelation.
The Luo Tian Patriarch's mastery of the Spirit Realm path was actually this terrifying?
She sealed the passage through which the alien races invaded?
Su Xing stared blankly at the distant teardrop, silent for a long time.
The fact that beings above the Primordial God level among the alien races couldn't invade the Three Thousand Worlds… perhaps it was also related to this teardrop?
The Luo Tian Patriarch, a brilliant prodigy, the true Child of Destiny of an era.
Although her pride, born from her talent and strength, ultimately prevented her from becoming the victor of that era.
But her actions were far more admirable than those who survived that era and lived on until now!
Through the teardrop, Su Xing seemed to see a scene.
The Five Great Realms of the cultivation world were facing annihilation, and Luo Tian Realm had already been shattered.
Amidst the crisis, the Luo Tian Patriarch seemed to have foreseen the future of the human race.
So, she descended upon the Heaven Demon Realm with overwhelming power, connecting with the Heaven Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao, and used the last of her strength to seal the passage.
On that day… the Heavenly Dao wept!
And the human race, in turn, was granted millions of years of good fortune…
From beside him, the Heaven Demon General's voice continued:
"When you traveled from the Heavenly Mechanism Realm to this realm… did you happen to see the so-called Deathly Dead Zone?"
Su Xing already had a guess after hearing the Heaven Demon General's words.
"That's right, that Deathly Dead Zone is actually a fragment of the world that was once Luo Tian Realm…"
"The Luo Tian Patriarch, with her unparalleled power, sealed countless Divine Beings and Red-Eyed Alien Races under Slaughter's command within that Deathly Dead Zone!"
"The number of alien races within the Deathly Dead Zone is enough to destroy half a realm!"
"But due to the Luo Tian Patriarch's powerful seal, this powerful force of alien races… was ultimately trapped and lost in the Endless Sea!"
With the Heaven Demon General's words, Su Xing finally confirmed his thoughts.
The Spirit Realm path, cultivated to its limit… was it truly this terrifying?
Sealing alien Divine Beings in the Deathly Dead Zone, preventing alien races from entering the Three Thousand Worlds…
The Luo Tian Patriarch's actions truly ensured the human race's fortune!
Su Xing was filled with admiration, but also a little puzzled.
"But this… what does it have to do with the world that the Luo Tian Patriarch left behind?"
The Heaven Demon General seemed to sense Su Xing's confusion, chuckled lightly, and then took out a… palm-sized black orb.
This black orb was clearly incomplete, only about half remaining, but it exuded a terrifying aura.
"This is…"
Su Xing was startled, and a thought quickly arose.
"That's right, this is a fragment of the Luo Tian Realm…"
With the Heaven Demon General's words, Su Xing's heart was overwhelmed with waves of shock!
"At the moment of the Luo Tian Patriarch's death, she used the power of the Luo Tian Mirror to gather the shattered fragments of Luo Tian Realm, and then sealed them with her Spirit Realm, ultimately forming this treasure that symbolizes half a Grand Thousand World!"
"Within this black orb… perhaps, it contains half of Luo Tian Realm's legacy, resources… even Great Luo Golden Immortals would covet it!"
"But what exactly is inside this world treasure… I don't know."
"Only after you inherit it will you find out!"
Su Xing couldn't help but swallow his saliva after hearing this.
This was… half of Luo Tian Realm!
The Grand Thousand World that once housed the most powerful sect millions of years ago!
How vast was its territory… how many treasures, resources, and Luo Tian legacies were contained within it, how terrifying was it?
If Su Xing could obtain this orb…
"Even if it's just a fragment of Luo Tian Realm… it would probably be enough to provide me with the resources to ascend to the Great Luo realm, right?"
At this thought, Su Xing's heart pounded.
Soon, he heard the Heaven Demon General's voice.
"Back then, the Luo Tian Patriarch fought alone against seven alien Primordial Gods, and the entire Luo Tian Realm was shattered…"
"Some fragments became the Deathly Dead Zone, sealed in the Endless Sea…"
"Some fragments should now be in Qing Yuan Realm and the Eastern Realm."
"The remaining less than half of the world was merged with the Luo Tian Patriarch's Spirit Realm and sealed within this orb…"
"As long as a Luo Tian successor possesses the Luo Tian Mirror and gains its recognition, they can obtain this fragment… and inherit the foundation of half the Luo Tian Sect!"
After hearing the Heaven Demon General's words, Su Xing finally understood the extent of the terrifying wealth that the Luo Tian Patriarch had left him!
Looking at the black orb in the Heaven Demon General's hand, Su Xing's eyes held a hint of longing.
The Heaven Demon General didn't try to seize this treasure, but simply handed it to Su Xing:
"Millions of years after Shi Shu Luo Ling'er's passing… I never thought a Luo Tian successor with sufficient qualifications would truly appear…"
"Now, it's returning to its rightful owner… entrusting this orb to you fulfills my greatest wish in life!"
"However, Shi Shu Ling'er said before her death that this orb requires a sufficient level of mastery over the Luo Tian Mirror to activate… I wonder if you are capable of doing so now?"
Su Xing took the black orb and kept turning it in his hand.
The Luo Tian Mirror within his body resonated at the same time.
With a surge of excitement, Su Xing couldn't wait to try it.
But there was no need to rush, the Heaven Demon General was still nearby!
After fulfilling the Luo Tian Patriarch's last wish, the Heaven Demon General seemed to let out a long breath, and his entire being seemed to regain a lot of energy and spirit.
Su Xing observed this with thoughtful eyes… had his cultivation heart demon been resolved?
"In that battle, it wasn't just Luo Tian Realm that was destroyed… over ninety percent of the living beings in the entire Heaven Demon Realm were slaughtered!"
"The cultivators of the Heaven Demon Realm today are either descendants of the survivors from that time, or cultivators who migrated from other realms… influenced by the Heaven Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao, they naturally harbor a deep hatred for the alien races!"
The Heaven Demon General spoke in a low voice, resolving another doubt in Su Xing's mind.
"Now that you've inherited the Luo Tian legacy… you need to cultivate diligently, if you can reach the Great Luo realm, perhaps you can revive the glory of Shi Shu Ling'er from that time!"
At this point, the Heaven Demon General's gaze towards Su Xing softened.
"If you're willing, stay in the Heaven Demon Realm in the future…"
"As your Shi Shu Zu (Great-aunt/uncle), I will naturally do my best to protect you and ensure your safety!"
Su Xing's heart filled with joy upon hearing this, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Having the protection of a Great Luo Golden Immortal would greatly enhance Su Xing's safety within the Heaven Demon Realm!
"Thank you, Heaven Demon Shi Shu Zu!"
The Heaven Demon General waved his hand and said: "If you like, you can still call me Boss!"
Su Xing nodded slightly, his mind returning to the other purpose of his trip to the Heaven Demon Realm.
So, he asked:
"Boss… I previously heard that the Heavenly Yang Grass exists in the Heaven Demon Realm… do you know anything about it?"
As he spoke, Su Xing took out a drawing of the Heavenly Yang Grass, which he had prepared beforehand.
The Heaven Demon General took the drawing and examined it carefully for a while before saying uncertainly:
"Hundreds of thousands of years ago… I seem to have seen this herb in the core region of the Heaven Demon Realm…"
"However, that place is extremely dangerous! It's where the alien race army is currently concentrated… even I wouldn't dare to venture there easily…"
Su Xing's heart leaped with joy after hearing this.
As long as the Heavenly Yang Grass existed, everything would be fine!
After the Heaven Demon General answered Su Xing's questions, the two returned to their previous base.
Arriving at a simple hut within the base, Su Xing set up an isolation formation.
Then, he couldn't wait to experiment with the black orb that the Luo Tian Patriarch had left him!
With a surge of excitement, Su Xing entered the Luo Tian Realm…
…
Within the Luo Tian Realm, everything was as peaceful as always.
But the Luo Tian disciples had undergone some changes.
Luo Qing Niu, Shen Nong You Tian, and several other Luo Tian disciples eagerly found Su Xing and said:
"Sect Master… we, we seem to sense a trace of the old Sect Master's aura… is, is she still alive in the world?"
Looking at the glimmer of hope in the eyes of these Luo Tian disciples, Su Xing sighed and eventually told them the truth.
"Don't worry… although Shi Shu Ling'er is no longer with us, I will lead you back to your peak!"
Su Xing consoled them.
After bidding farewell to these Luo Tian disciples, Su Xing couldn't wait to go to the Luo Tian Assembly grounds.
There, the main body of the Luo Tian Mirror resided!
Perhaps the Luo Tian Mirror's spirit would know how to activate the black orb!
…
A moment later.
Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at the Luo Tian Mirror's spirit and said:
"So… you mean I need to reach the Taiyi Realm before I can activate this orb and obtain the Luo Tian legacy within it?"
The Luo Tian Mirror's spirit responded affirmatively:
"Yes, Master!"
"I can sense that this orb has a seal placed upon it by the old master… one must reach the Taiyi Realm to break it!"
"Moreover, the orb not only contains half of the Luo Tian Realm from that time… to better seal it, it also contains a fragment of me!"
"If we can fully activate this orb… I might be able to restore most of my peak strength!"
"However, this activation and fusion process is quite long…"
"I think the old master's intention was… when you reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, you can try to integrate this orb into your own Spirit Realm…"
"If you can do that, Master, your Spirit Realm might become as vast as half of Luo Tian Realm!"
"Perhaps one day, you might even surpass the old master…"
"Also…"
Su Xing listened quietly to the Luo Tian Mirror's spirit's answer, and after a while, he roughly understood the purpose of the orb.
Just as the Heaven Demon General had said, the Luo Tian Patriarch had left Su Xing a world!
But it was… more than just a world!
This orb's core was half of the shattered Luo Tian Realm.
Under the Luo Tian Patriarch's terrifying Spirit Realm cultivation, she had already fused her Spirit Realm with Luo Tian Realm.
Finally, it was endlessly compressed, condensed into this orb.
Therefore, this orb was a collection of half of Luo Tian Realm's treasures… a Luo Tian Mirror fragment, and the Luo Tian Patriarch's Spirit Realm cultivation, combined into one!
Su Xing needed to reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm before he could activate it and gradually devour it, integrating the orb into his own Spirit Realm.
Once completed, Su Xing's Spirit Realm would reach a terrifying level!
Furthermore, Luo Tian Realm's treasures, the Luo Tian Sect's legacy, would all be reclaimed by Su Xing…
And even the Luo Tian Mirror could be further repaired!
At this thought, Su Xing's heart surged with excitement.
"As long as I reach the Taiyi Realm… if I can get my hands on this orb in reality… wouldn't the energy needed to ascend to the Great Luo realm be no problem?"
Su Xing gritted his teeth and made a quick calculation.
"With my speed, it would take at least ten years to travel from the Starry Realm to the Heavenly Mechanism Realm… and then to the Heaven Demon Realm, it would probably take several decades!"
"The time wasted… is too long…"
At this thought, Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly.
Several decades to ascend to the Great Luo realm wasn't slow.
But wasting several decades along the way, with too many variables, Su Xing didn't want to take unnecessary risks.
"However… I remember that besides the passage through the Endless Sea, there seems to be another way!"
"The Nine Heavens Realm…"
Su Xing narrowed his eyes. He recalled what Bai Di and Tang Yiyi had said.
The Nine Heavens Realm was the Upper Realm, connected to the Five Great Realms… if there was a suitable passage, Su Xing could completely go to the Nine Heavens Realm first, and then find a way to reach the Heaven Demon Realm from there!
Without going through the Endless Sea, he could naturally save countless years!
"Also, the promotion mechanism within the Heaven Demon Realm is indeed a bit slow…"
"I need to ask the Heaven Demon General if there's any way to meet him directly!"
…
Soon, ten years of immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing's consciousness returned to reality!
"This immersive simulation was truly a fruitful one!"
"Not only did I learn about the hidden secrets of the past… but I also discovered the astonishing wealth left behind by the Luo Tian Patriarch!"
"If I can obtain that black orb, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a shortcut to the top…"
Su Xing stroked his chin and continued:
"Also, in the Heaven Demon Realm, although it's dangerous… but with the Heaven Demon General there, I should be able to simulate for a longer period, right?"
"It's a pity that I can no longer receive the Void Mirror's enhancements…"
Su Xing thought for a moment, realizing that gains and losses were normal.
What he cared about now was how long he could simulate within the Heaven Demon Realm.
Would he be able to break his previous simulation records?
At this thought, Su Xing's gaze fell upon the simulation panel.
[In the 720th year, you entered the Heaven Demon Realm's core region as Su Ye.]
[After interacting with the Heaven Demon General, you learned the secrets of millions of years ago…]
[In the following decades, you hunted alien races within the Heaven Demon Realm's core region…]
[Time quickly passed to the 750th year of the simulation…]
