Chapter 843: Chapter 859: It’s All Destiny

Seeing the jade stone box on the table, both Jumping Dragon Elder and Upper Crow Heavenly Lord’s complexions turned extremely unsightly.

Even the Middle Emperor’s face became extremely solemn as he spoke, “According to our clan’s judgment, this Demon Puppet Saliva should be a product from thirty thousand years ago.”

Hearing this, both men breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging glances, feeling a mix of laughter and tears.

“The Middle Emperor is perhaps too sensitive. A thirty-thousand-year-old relic doesn’t mean anything,” said the Jumping Dragon Elder, gripping the sea staff beside him. “If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave first. In two days, at the Grand Daoist Conference, there might be other old friends visiting. We need to go back and prepare properly.”

Upon seeing this, Upper Crow Heavenly Lord also stood up. Just as the two were about to leave, they heard the Middle Emperor laugh out loud: “Gentlemen, please be patient. Even if other old friends come to the Demon God Territory, what kind of storm can they possibly stir up?”

As he spoke, under the hesitant gazes of the two, the Middle Emperor flicked his hand, and the box containing the thirty-thousand-year-old Demon Puppet Saliva suddenly burst into countless fragments. A muffled, low growl came through, and a terrifying blood-red light suddenly swept across the entire room.

...

Upper Crow Heavenly Lord and Jumping Dragon Elder were startled by the sudden turn of events, their faces instantly turning solemn.

Especially Upper Crow Heavenly Lord, a flash of blood light suddenly darted through his eyes. Without any visible movement, he snorted coldly, and his aura burst forth. Waves of aura enveloped the entire room like the tides of the sea. Amidst the roaring and howling blood tides, a relentless struggle ensued, and suddenly, a pitch-black figure, large as ink, took shape and lunged toward Upper Crow Heavenly Lord.

“Demonic obstacle, cease your impudence!”

With a point of his sea staff, the Jumping Dragon Elder sent forth ferocious waves, their earth-shaking tidal roar slamming hard against the giant figure.

Boom——!

A thunderous explosion reverberated, shaking the entire house to a rattling chorus, causing Jumping Dragon Elder and Upper Crow Heavenly Lord both to tremble, their faces revealing a look of horror.

The Middle Emperor snorted coldly, waving his hands, a Taoist detail filled with a destructive aura suddenly wrapped around the shadow, immediately issuing a sizzling sound. The shadow was devoured and disappeared into nothingness.

The shadow was a kind of humanoid creature with excessively long arms that hunched over its body, even capable of reaching the ground.

After being enveloped by the Middle Emperor’s Taoist detail, the shadow roared and howled, its deafening noise piercing through the entire room, causing the room to reverberate ominously, deepening the solemnity on the faces of the three onlookers.

“What’s going on… What is this?”

Jumping Dragon Elder’s face flickered with shock as he stared fixedly at the Middle Emperor and said in a deep voice, “Although Demon Puppets are nearly immortal beings, their revival surely cannot be achieved with mere Demon Puppet Saliva alone. Middle Emperor, what exactly is going on here?”

With a wry smile, the Middle Emperor replied, “As you both have seen, although what Jumping Dragon Elder said is not wrong, I indeed have not tampered with this Demon Puppet Saliva in any way.”

“Does that mean, the Demon Puppet stuff has evolved again?”

The words of Jumping Dragon Elder made Upper Crow Heavenly Lord’s face turn somewhat unsightly, but he couldn’t care about that now and stared unwaveringly at the Middle Emperor.

After a moment of hesitation, the Middle Emperor nodded and said, “It should be so!”

Hiss——!

Jumping Dragon Elder and Upper Crow Heavenly Lord’s expressions changed once again. They exchanged glances and said to the Central Emperor, “So, is this the fundamental reason why the Demon God Territory is nearly mad with desperation?”

The Central Emperor sighed and replied, “The Demon God Territory would not have been like this. We had just appeared in this world and hadn’t even had time to adapt. How could we commit such a defying act? But as both of you have seen, even we can survive in that environment. What’s more for the nearly undying demonic puppets?”

“I remember the time when those demonic puppets almost wreaked havoc in the entire cultivator world. Countless forces suffered at their hands. I had a feeling back then that, although the demonic puppets were greatly weakened, they couldn’t necessarily be completely eradicated. Now it seems they are still a significant threat.”

A look of surprise and suspicion flickered across Jumping Dragon Elder’s face as he looked at the Central Emperor and asked, “Old fellow, what do you need us old bones to do?”

The Central Emperor chuckled and explained, “The situation isn’t as dire as it seems. The world has completely changed, and our greatest advantage compared to the demonic puppets is that we can adapt to our own world at the fastest speed, while they cannot.”

Jumping Dragon Elder and Upper Crow Heavenly Lord exchanged a glance, then burst into hearty laughter, saying, “Now we understand. Under the changes of the heavenly fate, your desperate actions and the turbulence of the world will not tolerate those demonic puppets. This turmoil could spell doom for them.”

“So, the grander and more boisterous this Grand Dao Assembly is, the better. However… to so freely disseminate such rebellious Cultivation Methods, if it angers the heavens again, the Demon God Territory will have no room for maneuvering.” Upper Crow Heavenly Lord’s face flashed with an odd expression as he slowly stepped out of the room.

Jumping Dragon Elder and the Central Emperor looked at each other and similarly shook their heads, then left.

The Central Emperor watched them leave and glanced at a corner of the room. Instantly, a black shadow flickered and appeared before him.

“Yin Shadow, do you think… we’ve made a mistake?”

The shadow pondered for a moment before speaking, “Even if destined for divine retribution, Yin Shadow would not wish to die at the hands of those demonic puppets.”

The Central Emperor let out a hearty laugh, his gaze profound and his voice resonantly deep as he said, “Then let us be mad once more!”

After speaking, the Central Emperor curiously said, “I heard that Yang Zhen, that young fellow, wants to dispute with me about the Taoist details?”

Yin Shadow shook his head and informed, “Someone is meddling.”

“Hmph,” the Central Emperor’s mood darkened, and then with a smile that was not quite a smile, he added, “That’s good as well. I have indeed become somewhat interested in Yang Zhen. It is said he can control Taoist details. If the rumors are true, then this young man might be the most talented individual I have ever encountered. Perhaps he could even enter the abyss!”

Yin Shadow’s body shook, and his voice filled with astonishment as he asked, “Does the Central Emperor value him so highly?”

“All is dictated by fate. Whether Yang Zhen can gain my recognition depends on his destiny. Go invite the Astrology Master. I have a premonition that this Grand Dao might hold tremendous changes.”

Yin Shadow’s figure gradually disappeared into the shadows, while the Central Emperor’s expression kept changing as he murmured to himself, “Are we right, or are we wrong…”

In a teahouse within Giant Mountain City, Yang Zhen looked at a Cultivation Method before him, his face showing a flustered and bewildered expression: “The Demon God Territory is definitely up to something big!”

The disdainful cat glanced lazily at the Cultivation Method and commented, “Kid, there’s no shortage of Cultivation Methods of this level. There’s no need to be so anxious, is there?”

“What do you know? There’s no shortage of such methods, true, but that was in the world of the past. In today’s world of cultivators, not even the truth can be spoken freely. Isn’t the Demon God Territory afraid of divine retribution by letting people cultivate such methods?”

At this point, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, muttering to himself, “What exactly is the Demon God Territory trying to do? Are they planning to destroy the world of cultivation?”
