"Senior, what should we do now?"
Elder Li approached Chen Tianwen, looking puzzled, not understanding why Chen Tianwen had stopped him.
Based on his understanding of the Blood Fiend Sect disciples, he knew they would be hard to subdue unless a number of them were killed.
Chen Tianwen shook his head, looked calmly at Elder Li, and said, "The other elders of the Blood Fiend Sect are all outside now. They will naturally not be convinced by your few words."
"That's true." Elder Li nodded in agreement.
He had thought the same way before; if Jun Wu hadn't put so much pressure on him, he wouldn't have surrendered.
"But senior, this dragging on isn't going to work. Why not kill a bunch of people and bring them to the front lines..."
Elder Li's role shift was incredibly quick. In such a short time, he had completely sided with the Divine Sword Sect, offering advice and strategies, even going so far as to kill the Blood Fiend Sect disciples he had once cherished.
Chen Tianwen was not surprised by his change.
In the cultivation world, it's a dog-eat-dog world where only the fittest survive, and every cultivator is a shrewd and cunning individual.
It's not uncommon for people to be shouting threats of violence one second and then becoming sworn brothers the next.
Faced with Elder Li's proposed plan.
Chen Tianwen smiled and shook his head: "No need for that trouble, I'll go myself."
With Qing Lian present, the Divine Sword Sect already held the upper hand.
With him added, the Divine Sword Sect now has five Nascent Soul level warriors, easily overwhelming Blood Fiend.
Hearing that Chen Tianwen wanted to go to the front line in person.
Elder Li's brows suddenly furrowed: He solemnly said, "Since you are going in person, there are some things I need to remind you of."
"Oh?" Chen Tianwen noticed Elder Li's sudden seriousness and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He asked, "What is it?"
"Are you aware of the Demon Ancestor's calamity?"
Elder Li looked serious.
The Demon Ancestor's Catastrophe?
A look of doubt flashed in Chen Tianwen's eyes: "Tell me in detail."
Although he can now punch Nascent Soul cultivators and kick Deity Transformation cultivators,
But in essence, he was still just the inexperienced young Chen Tianwen, unaware of many secrets and major events in the cultivation world.
Elder Li didn't think much of it, assuming that Jun Wu had been reincarnated too early and hadn't experienced this event.
He slowly began, "This matter dates back three thousand years..."
Elder Li's narration took Chen Tianwen back three thousand years.
Those were turbulent times; Qingzhou was then called Qingyu, independent of the Ming Dynasty.
The cultivation world of Qingyu is prosperous and thriving, with cultivators residing there permanently, and even some powerful figures breaking through to become True Immortals who dominate an entire region.
Just as Qingyu was thriving, a calamity suddenly struck, and a terrifying demon ancestor descended upon Qingzhou.
The Demon Ancestor possessed terrifying cultivation, devouring countless living beings. Several powerful cultivators at the Integration Stage joined forces to suppress him, but were instead killed by the Demon Ancestor.
It was thanks to the presence of a True Monarch of the Void Refinement Realm in the Azure Domain back then.
This Refining Void was none other than Jian Sixteen, the creator of the Heavenly Profound Sword Technique, one of the three great sword techniques of the Divine Sword Sect, the master of the Heavenly Profound Sword, and the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect in that generation.
The time when the Sixteenth Ancestor was alive was the most glorious period for the Divine Sword Sect.
The Heavenly Profound Sword and the Heavenly Profound Sword Technique dominated the world, completely establishing the Divine Sword Sect's status as one of the five major sects.
When the Demon Ancestor wreaked havoc, the Sixteen Ancestors had just broken through to the Void Refinement stage. They had no choice; at that time, only the Sixteen Ancestors in the entire Azure Domain were capable of fighting the Demon Ancestor.
The newly awakened Sixteenth Ancestor, carrying the Heavenly Profound Sword, went to suppress the demon.
That battle was devastating, leaving the land shattered.
The two eventually left the real world and entered the void.
"...In the end, the Demon Ancestor died, his body shattered, and most of it fell into the void. As for Sword Sixteen, along with the Heavenly Profound Sword from that battle, they disappeared without a trace, and no one knows where they went..."
After Elder Li finished speaking, his eyes flashed with light, as if he had returned to ancient times and witnessed the earth-shattering battle between Sword Sixteen and the Demon Ancestor.
This also resolved a problem that had puzzled Chen Tianwen for a long time.
Why are there only two of the three great sword techniques of the Divine Sword Sect: the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique and the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique?
Among them, the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique was comprehended by the founder of the Divine Sword Sect through the Spring and Autumn Sword, and therefore can be practiced by all disciples.
The Heart-Piercing Sword was obtained by an ancestor by chance and can only be comprehended by comprehending the sword imprint.
As for the last one, the Heavenly Profound Sword Technique, Chen Tianwen only knew its name but had never seen anyone use it.
I never expected there to be such a reason behind it.
The Heavenly Profound Sword disappeared after Sword Sixteen suppressed the Demon Ancestor, and Sword Sixteen did not have time to write down the Heavenly Profound Sword Technique as a sword technique to pass down, thus causing the Heavenly Profound Sword Technique to be effectively lost.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Chen Tianwen looked at Elder Li with a puzzled expression: "What does this have to do with me going to the front lines?"
This story is very interesting, and Chen Tianwen likes it very much.
But what does the great war three thousand years ago have to do with his mission to suppress the Blood Fiend Sect?
"Senior, you may not know this," Elder Li said cautiously, shaking his head with a mysterious air, "After the great battle back then, our sect obtained the Demon Ancestor's heart!"
"The Demon Ancestor's Heart?!" Chen Tianwen exclaimed in surprise, "What's it used for?"
His tone was unusually serious.
This is the Demon Ancestor who once wreaked havoc on an entire state. One must be careful even with just a finger, let alone the heart. Who knows what strange things might be hidden in the heart of such a being?
"I don't know!" Elder Li shook his head decisively.
"The Heart of the Demon Ancestor has always been a closely guarded secret of our sect, known only to the sect leader's lineage. I only learned of its existence by chance."
"But it was only after we obtained the Demon Ancestor's Heart that our sect rose rapidly to become one of the five great sects, and even rivaled the Divine Sword Sect!"
"I suspect," Elder Li paused, a thoughtful look in his eyes, "that the sect leader and the others have always wanted to resurrect the Demon Ancestor!"
"Really?"
A look of horror flashed in Chen Tianwen's eyes.
Resurrecting the Demon Ancestor?
In the current cultivation world of Qingzhou, there isn't even one cultivator at the Fusion stage. After the Demon Ancestor is resurrected, who will suppress him?
And right now, he can barely handle those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
There's nothing you can do if you encounter the Demon Ancestor.
"I'm just guessing," Elder Li said, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face. "However, over the years, our sect has set up numerous altars in major cities. If these altars are activated, I fear there will be widespread devastation..."
Elder Li's guess was not without basis.
He had stayed in the Blood Fiend Sect for five hundred years, and many secrets could not be hidden from him.
He even personally arranged the altar.
With all the clues put together, some things are not hard to guess.
"I'm saying all this just to remind you that it's best if you don't have this problem..."
After saying this, Elder Li let out a long sigh of relief.
Clearly, these things had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
Now that I've said it, I feel so much lighter.
"Very good, I will keep that in mind."
Chen Tianwen nodded solemnly.
Matters involving the Demon Ancestor are of utmost importance.
He absolutely had to go this time.
