I know.
Upon hearing these three words, everyone's gaze turned towards Chi Tianhao.
Lu Daoya raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Chi, do you know where his power comes from?"
"That's pretty close, almost certainly!"
Chi Tianhao nodded, his eyes shining brightly as he looked deeply at Chi Yuan and said, "He used two high-level spiritual techniques during the trial. One was the Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm, and the other was the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Demon Force. These are both secret techniques of our Heavenly Pool Holy Land."
"These are actually two kinds of spiritual techniques? No wonder they looked somewhat familiar."
Nangong Ming spoke in surprise, then suddenly realized something and his expression hardened as he said, "Wait, since these two spiritual techniques are secret techniques that your Heavenly Pool Holy Land does not pass on, then only geniuses in the clan or high-level spiritual cultivators of the Holy Land are qualified to cultivate them. But I remember that he is only a member of your Chi family branch, and has never cultivated in the main branch, nor has he ever gone to the Heavenly Pool Holy Land to cultivate. So how is he able to cultivate these two spiritual techniques?"
"That's the crux of the problem."
Chi Tianhao said calmly, "I can say with certainty that he did not learn these two spiritual techniques from my Chi family branch or the Heavenly Pool Holy Land. Not only did he learn them, he even mastered the third technique, which only Saints are qualified to cultivate!"
"In other words, if he wants to obtain the cultivation method of the third form of these two spiritual techniques, he can only do so by accepting the inheritance of a saint from my clan or the Heavenly Pool Holy Land."
"Even so, it's impossible for him to master the third form of these two spiritual techniques at the second level of the Spirit Sect. Besides, he didn't even master them at the second level of the Spirit Sect. He had already used the third form when he fought against the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's split soul. At that time, he was only at the Spirit King level. How could he have mastered the third form of the Saint level on his own?"
Upon hearing Chi Tianhao's words, Yao Guang Saint Lord Tuoba Hong frowned and said thoughtfully, "Then there are only two possibilities: either a saint from your clan or the Tianchi Holy Land possessed him, or he, like Ye Chen, has a saint's soul attached to his body."
Chi Tianhao nodded in agreement and continued, "He was able to kill the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's split soul, which was at the level of a ninth-tier Spirit Venerable. The external force he used must have been no weaker than this one. And the fact that he was able to cultivate a Saint-level spiritual technique at the Spirit Sect level means that it is most likely not the second possibility."
"Leaving aside Ye Chen, who possesses the Divine Sun Body and the inheritance of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor, his strongest spiritual skill is only at the mid-level of the Heaven Rank, which is far from the Saint Rank. If he had only received the inheritance from a Saint's soul body, how could he have achieved such success?"
"Therefore, I think it is more likely that he has been possessed. Only by possessing a Saint-level divine soul can he quickly master high-level spiritual skills with the comprehension and spiritual aptitude that match the Saint level."
"To reach the Saint level in the Divine Soul Realm after possession, one's cultivation level before possession must not be lower than the seventh level of the Saint Realm!"
Having reasoned this far, Chi Tianhao had narrowed down the scope considerably. Since the one who possessed the body was a high-level saint, he could simply focus on the high-level saints who had fallen in the Heavenly Pool Holy Land. There were only a handful of beings of that level; even on a timescale of ten thousand years, the number of high-level saints who had fallen in a holy land would not exceed five.
Thinking of this, Qi Lin, the Primordial Saint Lord, asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Chi, which high-level saints have fallen in your Heavenly Pool Holy Land over the past ten thousand years?"
He didn't ask about ten thousand years ago, because even for a great emperor, his soul could hardly survive for that long after death, and the lifespan of a saint was even shorter.
Otherwise, how could the Blood Demon Ancestor's divided soul reappear every thousand or eight hundred years? No matter how high one's spiritual realm is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time.
"In the past ten thousand years, only one high-level saint has fallen in our Heavenly Pool Holy Land."
Chi Tianhao stared intently at Chi Yuan's calm face, and said, word by word, "Heavenly Ancestor, Chi Shang!"
"What did you say? Heavenly Ancestor of Devastation?!"
Upon hearing the name announced by Chi Tianhao, Nangong Ming and the others were all greatly shocked.
The name was simply too shocking to them. When they were still the same age as Jiang Yi and Wu Ban, the Heavenly Ancestor was already a super strong person who was famous throughout the entire continent and had the potential to become an emperor.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Ancestor's obsession leading him to become a demon and fall into the demonic path, the current leader of the righteous path might not be Qin Xuantian, but Chi Shang.
However, there are no ifs. Chi Shang eventually fell into the demonic path and brought many inhumane disasters to the righteous world after becoming a demon. He almost became a demon emperor and can be said to be the most feared demonic tyrant before the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor.
But Chi Yuan was actually possessed by this demon?
Yes.
If it was Chi Shang who possessed Chi Yuan, then everything makes sense.
Only an existence of this level could allow Chi Yuan, whose cultivation had been completely destroyed, to experience a meteoric rise in cultivation to the Grandmaster level within four or five years.
Only then could Chi Yuan, at the Spirit King level, possess the combat power to annihilate the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's divided soul.
Only then can Chi Yuan, who currently only has the cultivation level of a Spirit Sect Master, master the laws of space, cultivate Saint-level spiritual techniques, and possess Venerable-level combat power.
This allowed Chi Yuan to master the high-level demonic array, the Soul Devouring Revolving Array, in a short period of time.
The truth has come out!
They were right; Chi Yuan had indeed been possessed by a powerful demonic cultivator!
"This kid was actually possessed by that demonic Heavenly Ancestor?"
Listening to Chi Tianhao's logical reasoning, Yun Lanshan couldn't help but have some doubts. After all, the power that Chi Yuan used to kill the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's divided soul could not have been Chi Yuan's own. It was either possessed by someone else or possessed by a powerful soul.
In summary, the former possibility is undoubtedly greater, and only the Heavenly Ancestor fits this possibility.
In fact, even You Rongxuanqing, You Rongmingxia, and the three saints of the Tianfeng clan believed that Chi Yuan and Chi Shang were inextricably linked. However, they did not think that Chi Yuan had been possessed by Chi Shang, but rather that he had accepted Chi Shang's inheritance.
After all, given Chi Yuan's Chaotic Saint Body talent, it's not impossible for him to have achieved his current cultivation results without being possessed, thanks to Chi Shang's inheritance.
They don't have the Chaos Holy Body, so how would they know just how high the talent of the Chaos Holy Body is?
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chi Shang, you have finally been exposed."
But at that moment, a huge spatial rift tore open in the sky, and then a magnificent, ancient, and eerie Netherworld Palace descended from it with overwhelming demonic power.
It was the Prison Soul Hall, a top-tier demonic force that Chi Yuan had previously encountered at the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Chi Shang, don't panic. It doesn't matter if you've been exposed. We're here to protect you. These pseudo-Daoists can't do anything to you."
Just as the Prison Soul Palace appeared, another palace supported by blood-red demonic clouds emerged from the void.
The Holy Demon Palace!
"Hmph, so what if that old man Xuantian is here? We have Tianyuan as our backer. Unless he wants to be retaliated against by the Supreme Tianyuan, he will never dare to attack us. Fellow Daoist Chishang, you can rest assured."
“Fellow Daoist Chi Shang, our Holy Path is in dire need of a leader, and in my opinion, this position is rightfully yours.”
"Fellow Daoist Chi, why put up with the arrogance of these hypocritical charlatans? As long as you return to the Holy Path, everyone in our Holy Path will be willing to honor you!"
One after another, top demonic forces such as the Imperial Mausoleum, the Underworld Sea, the Ghost Underworld, and the Asura City appeared.
These powerful figures in the demonic path, without exception, all believed, like Chi Tianhao, Nangong Ming, and others, that Chi Yuan was Chi Shang's possessed body.
