Bai Min noticed something was amiss.
"Has the Holy One made a decision?"
Jiang Shumiao nodded, "You all go to the Immortal Realm to lay low for a while, I'll be back soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, she tore through space, and a huge vortex appeared before them.
The immense suction force caused Fuqu and the others to instinctively erect a barrier to resist. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shumiao flew inside, and the vortex vanished instantly.
The suction power is gone.
Fuqu was somewhat lost in thought. "Is the princess planning to destroy the Demon Realm's lair first?"
"I don't think so."
After pondering for a while, Qianli said, "Ever since the death of the Jiao Yao, the princess has been preoccupied with many things, probably still about the war between gods and demons back then."
Among the group, only Wen Zhixuan, a disciple of the righteous sect, knew a tiny bit about the war between gods and demons, so all three demons looked at him at the same time.
Wen Zhixuan stated, "I only know that the Heavenly Emperor has been erasing all traces of the existence of the Azure Lotus Saint Venerable. After all, that was five thousand years ago, and only the parties involved know the specific details."
To be honest, he was quite curious too.
Jiang Shumiao went to the Demon Realm, presumably to investigate this matter.
Bai Min said, "Since the Holy Venerable has made arrangements, we will listen to her and go to the Immortal Realm to wait for her."
The group returned to the Immortal Realm once again, but unexpectedly, they discovered a shocking secret, which will be discussed later.
**
Jiang Shumiao infiltrated the Demon Realm.
The Heavenly Palace's main buildings are white, shrouded in mist and clouds, exuding an ethereal aura. The Demon Realm is not like the dark abyss depicted in human stories. In fact, the Demon Realm is ever-changing; everything within sight may be an illusion.
Behind the darkness lies a vibrant and colorful world.
In the realm of gods, the Heavenly Emperor is the most revered, but the Demon Realm has no fixed order. So even though the Demon Lord perished, the demon race did not fall into chaos and continued to cultivate their own path.
Demons are not as vicious and ruthless as humans imagine. Demons increase their cultivation by eating human souls, but living souls have no effect on demon cultivators.
Only demons who cultivate improperly and whose minds are disturbed will undergo drastic changes in temperament and commit evil deeds wantonly.
A normal demonic cultivator can be said to be without desires or wants.
I don't know how her disciple managed to persuade these demons to wage war against the gods.
The Demon Realm was full of illusions, and since she had never been there before, she quickly lost her way.
That's really tragic.
After going around in circles several times, it returned to the starting point.
Just as she was hesitating whether to show herself and ask a demon for directions, she heard someone talking.
"I heard that the gods are going to send troops to the immortal realm."
"Sooner or later, the Heavenly Emperor will only recognize gods of pure blood. The gods who ascended to heaven after undergoing tribulations all perished in that great war."
"With the Heavenly Gate closed, the Immortal Realm has severed the path to ascension for all living beings in the mortal world. Monsters are running rampant in the human realm, and the Three Realms are about to descend into chaos once again."
The realm of gods, the realm of immortals, and the realm of humans.
"If that's the case, the Demon Lord shouldn't stand idly by, after all, his birth mother was a mortal."
"The Demon Lord is still nowhere to be found, and his mother was long ago killed in giving birth to him. Humans were created by Nuwa and have nothing to do with my demon race."
"That being said, the Demon Lord's master is, after all..."
"She killed the Demon Lord, so what's the point of talking about master-disciple relationship now?"
The air fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Shumiao subconsciously tightened her fingers, her eyes dimming slightly.
"The Heavenly Emperor's ambitions are obvious. Today he has targeted the Immortal Realm and the Human Race, so how could he possibly tolerate the Demon Race?"
That's true.
"The demon realm is now a mere shell of its former self, and the Heavenly Emperor is becoming increasingly paranoid. Just wait, a second war between gods and demons will break out sooner or later."
After all, the Azure Lotus Saint Venerable was a little late in cleaning up his own house back then, which resulted in heavy casualties among the gods.
How could the Heavenly Emperor swallow this insult?
We'll get it back eventually.
I don't understand why these gods are so obsessed with power.
Demonic cultivators believe in doing whatever they want and have no objections to the human race; otherwise, a product of human-demon hybridity would not have been created back then.
Of course, it's not exactly welcome.
Jiang Shumiao revealed herself only after the two demonic cultivators had gone far away.
The Daoist heart of a demonic cultivator lies in being free from delusion, greed, desire, and attachment.
Therefore, they can get along amicably even without the constraints of order.
Jiang Shumiao wandered around the Demon Realm several times, and the only conclusion she came to was that the Demon Lord had indeed taken the initiative to provoke the war between gods and demons back then.
But the dragon demon's dying words were not false, and Qingzhou would not lie to her about such a thing.
There are probably only two people who know the truth.
The Heavenly Emperor, and her disciple whom those demonic cultivators claim may have been resurrected but whose whereabouts are unknown!
Jiang Shumiao left quietly, without alerting any demonic cultivators.
When she arrived in the Immortal Realm, she discovered that something terrible had happened.
Wen Zhixuan and the others escaped. Yes, they escaped.
When Jinxia Yuanjun saw her, she solemnly explained the whole story to her.
That day, she went to the Demon Realm alone, while the others arrived in the Immortal Realm, where they were naturally welcomed by the sect leaders. However, not long after, strange things happened again at the Temple of Prayer.
The Mirror of Rebirth flew out again.
It also injured Wen Zhixuan.
The blood fell onto the mirror, making it shine brightly.
The five sect leaders joined forces to subdue him, and then a scene appeared in the mirror, which was about Wen Zhixuan.
Jiang Shumiao followed the crowd to the Immortal Spirit Palace and saw Wen Zhixuan's life in the Mirror of Rebirth—or more accurately, the first half of the male protagonist's life that she had once seen in the Book of Fate.
He transmigrated, suffered humiliation, turned to the dark side, framed loyal officials, had an affair with Shen Qinghe, and was ordered to marry a princess, but secretly brought back Jiang Shuman, who was suffering in the brothel, to keep her as his mistress, and their feelings for each other deepened day by day.
Until Jiang Shuman jumped to her death.
Jiang Shumiao knew all of this, and the Mirror of Rebirth also showed what happened after Jiang Shuman's death.
Wen Zhixuan abandoned his kingdom and, with Jiang Shuman and his son, traveled to the Immortal Mountain in the East Sea to seek a way to be resurrected.
