Jiang Deng didn't show any shock on her face. She nodded and said calmly, "I know. The first generation of the Demon King has lived until now. Isn't she the successor to the position of the Demon Realm's Lord?"

A helpless smile appeared on Baili Chengfeng's face, "I'm talking about humans, not monsters."

"Oh," Jiang Deng smiled awkwardly, then said excitedly, "The first generation Demon Lord seems to be alive as well. This can't be wrong, right?"

Baili Chengfeng's expression became even more helpless. "I don't know about that, but I know that person is the leader of the righteous path, and seems to be a divine master or something."

"God Lord?!"

Jiang Deng's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

There is overwhelming evidence pointing to her as the true Lord God, so how come another Lord God appears now?

Is she an imposter, or is the other party an imposter?

"Jiang Deng, what's wrong?" Seeing that the expression on Jiang Deng's face seemed not right, Baili Chengfeng asked in confusion.

"...Nothing, see you in Qiming Spirit Realm then."

Jiang Deng suppressed his inner doubts and shook his head at Baili Chengfeng.

She didn't know what the truth was either. It seemed that she would only know the truth after she went to the Qiming Spirit Realm and met the rumored God Lord.

"Goodbye, then."

Baili Chengfeng looked at Jiang Deng reluctantly before tearing through the space and leaving.

Jiang Deng did not do the same as Baili Chengfeng and directly tear through space to leave Baiqian's spiritual realm.

She seemed to have remembered something, and took out the Zhaoyang Needle, a divine weapon that she had snatched from the old man and his group with great difficulty, from the Eight Gates World.

In fact, the Zhaoyang needle is not just one needle, but hundreds of needles.

They were neatly arranged and inserted into a roll of white spirit beast skin. Not only were they as thin as cow hair, but the tips of the needles also flashed with dazzling light, looking extremely sharp.

"Hey, wake up."

Jiang Deng's spiritual consciousness stabbed at Zhaoyang Needle, trying to awaken the other party's consciousness.

“…”

No matter how Jiang Deng stimulated him, Zhao Yangzhen just pretended to be dead and could not form a contract at all.

"Master, they don't seem to want to recognize you as their leader." Chongguang's voice of gentle reminder rang out in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Um?"

Jiang Deng frowned, "Why? I think I'm fine."

"You're not good enough if you're not the master," Chongguang explained. "The Zhaoyang Needle isn't an offensive artifact, but a supporting one. Its primary function is to heal and save lives. Therefore, it has always only recognized doctors as its master. To become the master of the Zhaoyang Needle, you must at least be a Dan Zun."

"What a joke!" Jiang Deng said unconvincedly, "Am I really that bad at alchemy?"

"Uh... the master's alchemy skills are very good, the main problem is that Zhaoyangzhen has no vision." Chongguang praised him against his conscience.

"Tsk," Jiang Deng shook his head. "You said the Zhaoyang Needle isn't an offensive artifact. Obviously, it doesn't have strong attack power. You're right. If it had strong attack power, our second disciple wouldn't have been beaten to death by those old guys."

Jiang Deng lost interest when he thought about the weak attack power of Zhaoyang Needle.

If this thing can't be used in a fight, what's the point of keeping it? I can't use it for embroidery, right?

Forget it, let’s see who to give it to next.

After putting away the Zhaoyang Needle, Jiang Deng did not delay any longer and tore through space to return to the Taichu Sword Sect.

Taichu Sword Sect.

"Why hasn't the ancestor come back yet?"

In the main hall, Sect Leader Zhan Ji and a group of Peak Masters were extremely anxious.

The news of the chaos in the Ten Realms was like thunderbolt, resounding in every place in the Ten Realms at the same time. Ever since this incident happened, the Lord of Si Mian Realm has been urging the people from their three major sects to act.

Right now, the Crescent Moon Palace and the Lingxiao Sect have already gone to the Domain Lord's Mansion to gather, ready to set off at any time. Only their Taichu Sword Sect is left, but the personnel have not yet gathered, which has delayed their departure.

Not long after, a surprise announcement was made.

"Ancestor, you're back!"

As the voice sounded, Qiao Qin, Jiang Deng's number one fan, led Jiang Deng into the hall with a happy look on her face.

"Greetings, ancestor!"

"Ancestor, you are finally back!"

"Grandfather, please don't leave now that you're back, right?"

…

Everyone present from the Taichu Sword Sect spoke up one after another, all with a look of admiration on their faces, wishing they could kowtow to Jiang Deng directly.

Not only did ordinary disciples have a special admiration for Jiang Deng, but even veteran peak masters like Yan Zhen, after realizing that they could no longer see through Jiang Deng's cultivation level, felt an extremely strong sense of admiration in their hearts.

Looking back to the day when Jiang Deng first entered the sect, his cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining Realm. Now, just over a year has passed, and he has already become a powerful cultivator at the Return to Void Realm.

Jiang Deng’s practice results over the past year are far more impressive than theirs in hundreds of years!

Sure enough, their initial premonition was correct. Jiang Deng was not a genius at all, but a talent that defied all odds!

Compared with her ridiculously fast cultivation speed, her rapid promotion is nothing.

Now, Jiang Deng, who has reached the Return to Void Realm, has become a true ancestor-level powerhouse!

"No need to be so polite, it's better to talk about business now."

Jiang Deng coughed lightly, stopped everyone from bowing, looked at Zhan Ji and asked, "Sect Master Zhan, please tell me the situation."

Zhan Ji nodded and answered honestly, "It's probably because of the chaos in the Ten Realms. They said they were going to the Qiming Spirit Realm to discuss countermeasures. Not only did the leaders of the major Spirit Realms and the Qi Realm go, but even some major sects and families were also invited. Our Taichu Sword Sect, as the largest sword sect in the Ten Realms, was naturally among those invited."

"What else? Did you say who initiated this discussion?" Jiang Deng continued to ask.

Hearing this, Zhan Ji shook her head, "I don't know the rest... But Lord Si Mian is the Lord of a domain after all, she should know more than us."

"Okay, then let's go find Si Mian first."

Jiang Deng nodded and counted out several powerful peak masters, including the new peak masters Xia Chenqing and Feng Qing. They all went to Si Mian's domain lord's mansion.

As soon as I arrived at the Domain Lord's Mansion, a group of people came running towards me.

The person in the lead was Si Mian who had been waiting for a long time, as well as Ying Yubing from Xinyue Palace and Sun Caimo from Lingxiao Sect.

After not seeing each other for a long time, everyone's strength has improved. Now Si Mian has refined the cultivation of his four disciples and has successfully entered the Hedao realm, while Ying Yubing and Sun Caimo have also entered the Huashen realm.

However, what surprised them even more was Jiang Deng's cultivation. Jiang Deng's cultivation was truly advancing by leaps and bounds, faster than any of them!

Ying Yubing said with joy: "Jiang Deng, you are finally back!"

Sun Caimo exclaimed in admiration, "Sister Jiang, your cultivation is growing really fast. Do you have any little secrets to pass on to me?"

"You should have used up the pills I gave you last time. These were refined by this domain master. Take them."

After saying that, Si Mian stuffed several bottles of pills into Jiang Deng's hands, all of which were heavenly-grade pills. She gave Jiang Deng a handful of pills every time they met, just like giving him candy beans.
