Chapter 253 The Secret of the Demon Clan, No Man in the World Can Compare to Him, Let You See Nie Zhaoyi Clearly
The Xiandao League Conference ended successfully. As the host, the Taiyi Sect, which was also the first leader of the alliance, naturally had to host a banquet for all the guests. No matter whether they were members of the forces or distinguished guests who came to watch the ceremony, they were all retained.
Li Sheng personally came forward and met with Shi Sheng, who was also a saint, and on the surface gave him enough respect and face.
In the absence of a real conflict of interest, it is impossible for Li Sheng and Shi Sheng to fall out.
Of course, it took Shi Sheng longer to become a saint. The Shi Ling clan was naturally favored by heaven. Even though Shi Sheng looks extremely old now, his real strength is definitely not inferior to Li Sheng.
Many people are also aware of this. Right now, the land of Kyushu is facing a drastic change unprecedented in history.
If conflicts and contradictions break out even among saints, then the situation will only be worse for ordinary cultivators, and they will have no idea whether they can gain a foothold and maintain stability.
If one seeks stability, one naturally hopes that the situation will be peaceful and stable so that ordinary cultivators can have the possibility to benefit from it.
At the Immortal Dao Alliance Conference, all immortal sects and Taoist schools jointly signed and negotiated more than twenty agreements and rules.
The most important of these is naturally the Immortal Alliance, which is respected by all of the nine provinces and has an transcendent status. It not only needs to restrain and control the immortal sects in the world, but also needs to mediate the forces of all parties to avoid a situation where the immortal cultivation forces fight to the death and the lives of the people are destroyed.
After the establishment of the Immortal Dao Alliance, the first thing it announced was to completely eradicate the Blood Immortal Sect and restore peace to the people of the world.
Naturally, this move was recognized and praised by everyone. Many immortal sects were deeply poisoned by the Blood Immortal Sect and were suffering terribly from it.
Now that the Immortal Dao Alliance is taking the lead in eradicating the Blood Immortal Sect, it is naturally a matter of joy for everyone.
Some time ago, Jiang Lan, the holy son of Taiyi Sect, personally eliminated several strongholds of the Blood Immortal Sect, causing the Blood Immortal Sect to no longer dare to be as arrogant as before and has been lying dormant in various places.
However, the remnants of the Blood Immortal Cult have been dormant for thousands of years, and it is impossible to eradicate them in a short period of time.
It has even infiltrated many immortal sects.
After issuing the Immortal Order to wipe out the Blood Immortal Sect, the Immortal Alliance also came up with countermeasures for the upcoming demonic disasters and barbarian disasters.
The Immortal Alliance will dispatch a large number of experts to guard outside Feixian Island and keep an eye on the situation there at all times.
As the leader of the alliance, Li Sheng will personally go to a forbidden place outside the domain to retrieve the Demon-Suppressing Stele that was once used by the ancient emperor to seal the Great Demon God, in order to strengthen the seal of Feixian Island.
In addition, Daxia will also begin hunting in the south in the near future to expel the barbarians from the border areas and drive them back to the depths of the Southern Wilderness Province.
During this period, the Immortal Dao Alliance will mobilize all the immortal sects to assist Daxia and send troops to attack the barbarians together to alleviate the outbreak of the barbarian disaster.
The issuance of one policy after another caused a stir in all directions.
This also shows the determination of the Xiandao League to firmly control the entire Kyushu land.
"The barbarians are not strong enough to cause unrest in Kyushu at the moment. What we are afraid of is the demonic disaster..."
"Yes, the appearance of a great demon god almost caused the collapse of Zhongtianzhou. If the ancient emperor had not offered sacrifices to the heavens and obtained a demon-suppressing tablet, the seal of the Demon Abyss would have been destroyed long ago."
"After so many years, no one knows what happened to the Demon-Suppressing Well that sealed the Great Demon God. However, that kind of forbidden place is not something that ordinary cultivators like us can find. It floats in the depths of time and space every moment, and only saints can capture its coordinates."
Many monks were discussing this matter with shock.
The demons came from the Great Heaven of Freedom, and the mystery of their birth cannot be explored or verified, but every demon god has strength comparable to that of a human saint.
The Great Demon God among them is the best among all the demon gods. He can easily kill saints and his strength is comparable to that of the Holy King of the human race.
Above the Great Demon God, there is the Demon King, and only the Great Saint of the human race can contend with that kind of existence.
However, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a demon king. The biggest demon disaster was just a great demon who descended on the land of Kyushu for unknown reasons.
"After so many years, the great demon god in the Demon Suppression Well should be almost exhausted. Grandpa has this good fortune today, and he should be able to reach the level of Saint King. In this way, he can use the great demon god as a sacrifice to consolidate his Saint King cultivation."
At the banquet, Jiang Lan guessed what Li Sheng was thinking.
In the ninth realm of Yuhua, every step forward will bring about earth-shaking changes in cultivation and strength. The gap between a saint and a saint king can be said to be almost the same as the difference between one major realm.
"The demonic disaster has never stopped. It is said that every time a demonic disaster breaks out, it is when the pure and turbid energy of heaven and earth collide and good and evil are reversed."
"I heard from my foster father that in ancient legends, the most powerful demon ancestor can even create a powerful demon clan and bring endless disasters to the world..."
Nie Zhaoyi and Jiang Lan were sitting at the same table. Hearing the discussions and conversations of the cultivators around them, they couldn't help but speak out, and their words showed their fear of the demons.
The word "魔" in the demon clan seems to have some kind of strange power that can penetrate the hearts of cultivators and make them feel fear and dread.
The ten major demons include the inner demon, the heavenly demon, the earthly demon, the human demon, the ghost demon, and the yang demon... Each kind of demon has left various legends in the classics that make the monks fear.
Even when a cultivator is going through a heavenly tribulation, he may incur inner demons.
"The devil is the ancient who made a millstone out of stone."
"In ancient times, the Emperor of Heaven ruled the three realms, and countless natural spirits ascended to the true nature through cultivation. The most visible ones were called Immortal Emperors, responsible for bestowing blessings and enlightenment. The most hidden ones were called Demon Emperors, responsible for protection and punishment. This is in line with the theory of yin and yang. When one cultivates and ascends to the true nature, there will naturally be tests from the heavens and obstacles from their relatives. These are all in line with the law of checks and balances in the way of heaven, and the clear and the turbid will not be replaced."
“As long as the pursuit of truth exists, the demons will never be eliminated. This is a problem that even the Emperor of Heaven cannot solve…” Jiang Lan thought of some records about the origin of the demons in his memory and shook his head.
The demons come from Zizai Tian, which was created by the Lord of Mahezan Tian, a figure comparable to the Emperor of Heaven.
After a cultivator becomes an immortal, if he is unwilling to accept the rule and title of the Emperor of Heaven, he will enter the Great Free Heaven and become a free immortal.
However, because there are demons in Zizai Heaven, Zizaixian is easily attacked by demons, falls into the devil's way, and turns into a demon.
The Lord of Mahadeva emphasizes freedom and inaction. In his eyes, demons and immortals are the same, so he doesn't care about these things.
Because the heaven is ruled by the Emperor of Heaven, who controls everything and eliminates everything, if the demons invade, they will be expelled or even killed. Over time, a deep-rooted conflict has arisen between the heaven and the free heaven.
In the eyes of many creatures in later generations, the so-called great catastrophe of heaven and earth was most likely caused by the outbreak of the demonic disaster...
"Saint Son Jiang Lan seems to know something about the origins of the demon race?"
Nie Zhaoyi doesn't have many hobbies in her daily life. Reading ancient books and flipping through various records is one of them, so compared to others, she is considered to be knowledgeable.
She really liked to know the origins of various ethnic groups. Seeing Jiang Lan taking the initiative to talk about these things, which seemed to be secrets she had never heard of, her beautiful eyes suddenly perked up, and she looked at him with energy, and couldn't help asking.
“I can’t say I understand it, I just know a little bit…” Jiang Lan smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.
"Can Saint Jiang Lan help me solve this puzzle?"
Nie Zhaoyi's interest was piqued. Seeing Jiang Lan put down his wine glass, he took the initiative to roll up his sleeves, picked up the wine jug beside him and filled it for him.
Jiang Lan noticed a pair of hateful eyes in the distance that would occasionally fall over him. He smiled inwardly, but his face remained calm as usual, smiling, "It's my honor."
After all, it was a matter involving the demon clan. Apart from Nie Zhaoyi, the other geniuses at the banquet table were also very interested in it. They all looked over with an attentive look on their faces.
Jiang Lan was not stingy and slowly told him some secrets related to the demons.
Nie Zhaoyi would interrupt from time to time and ask questions, and Jiang Lan would patiently answer his questions without any impatience.
"Son Jiang Lan is indeed the future Heavenly Emperor. He even knows all this..."
"I really learned a lot today."
Many beautiful ladies had their eyes shining with excitement. In their eyes, Jiang Lan was knowledgeable, elegant in conversation, and his every move carried an indescribable feeling that made people want to get close to him.
Even Nie Zhaoyi, who was standing by, couldn't help but listen attentively, with the joy of gaining new knowledge flashing across his eyes from time to time. After Jiang Lan drank a few glasses of wine intentionally or unintentionally, his face became a little flushed.
"The demons are such a terrifying tribe. Above the Demon King, there's actually an even more powerful Demon Lord. However, there shouldn't have been a Demon Lord on the land of Jiuzhou..." Nie Zhaoyi was shocked.
Jiang Lan didn't explain this.
The devil corresponds to the saint.
The Demon Lord also corresponds to the Supreme of the human race.
In ancient times, cultivators who entered the Nirvana realm were called Supreme Beings, and some were called True Lords. These are actually names for the same realm.
In the inheritance of True Lord Zixia that was born in the Zixia Mountains before, the True Lord Zixia was actually a being who had entered the Tenth Realm of Nirvana, and he could also be called the Supreme Zixia.
The celestial beings above the Supreme also belong to the realm of Nirvana, but their understanding of the Great Dao is deeper and their Taoism is more unfathomable. Some people call them Celestial Lords, but some people think that the word "Celestial Lord" is inappropriate and disrespectful to "Heaven", so later generations called them Celestial Beings.
In fact, celestial beings and celestial masters are people of the same level.
"Jiang Lan..."
Shi Tian, who was far away, looked at Nie Zhaoyi, whose face was flushed and who was looking at Jiang Lan with "reverence". He drank the wine in one gulp with some distress, feeling indescribable sorrow in his heart.
If he had known this, he would not have come along. Shi Sheng had given him a ban, forbidding him to have any contact with Nie Zhaoyi, otherwise he would not be allowed to see Nie Zhaoyi again from now on.
Shi Tian knew that Shi Sheng did this intentionally in order to temper his state of mind, but it was just like that, watching the gentle and considerate sister in his memory, talking and laughing so intimately with the man next to her.
He felt very uncomfortable, sour and bitter, as if he was being cut by a knife.
"My name is Su Ming. I have long heard of Brother Shi, the natural born saint, who is the number one prodigy in the North Sea. Today I finally have the honor of meeting him. I hope Brother Shi will not hesitate to give me this cup of wine."
At this moment, a voice with a slight laugh suddenly came from beside Shi Tian.
When he heard the words, he looked and saw a handsome young man in a purple robe walking towards him with a glass in his hand and a friendly smile on his face, like a rich young man.
Shi Tian was stunned. He didn't know this person and didn't have any impression of him at all.
But one should not hit a smiling person. Since the other party took the initiative to toast him, he could not refuse and immediately raised his glass in response.
"Who are you?"
While raising his glass, Shi Tian was also sizing up the other person, and then he was startled again. Seventh realm cultivation? Are there so many geniuses with the seventh realm cultivation now?
You should know that Li Mengning, the saint of Taiyi Sect, is only at this level. Apart from her, only the top people of the same generation in the Wang family and the Ji family have the same level of cultivation.
He was a little surprised that this strange young man who suddenly appeared had the same level of cultivation.
"My name is Su Ming. Brother Shi Tian may not have heard of me. This time I came to Taiyi Sect to watch the ceremony with the elders from Chongming Valley." The purple-robed young man named Su Ming replied with a smile.
"Chongming Valley? Are you from outside the region?"
Shi Tian nodded, and suddenly realized that Chongming Valley was the number one sect in Chongming Star Domain after all. If the geniuses who came with him to watch the ceremony were of average strength, they would probably not be able to perform well and would be a bit embarrassing.
"Yes, to Brother Shi, I should be considered a person from outside the domain."
"The Immortal Dao League Conference is such an important event. I am fortunate to be here with the elders of the sect. It is worth the trip to witness the demeanor of so many geniuses."
"I thought I was a leader in Chongming Star Region, but after coming to Zhongtian Province, I found that there are always people better than me..."
Su Ming sighed, with some emotion and admiration, and then took the initiative to talk to Shi Tian.
Shi Tian didn't expect this person to be so frank. He actually felt a bit of goodwill towards him. He immediately offered him a glass and motioned for him to sit down.
The geniuses around him also came from the North Sea, but the gap in strength between them and him was too great, so they did not dare to talk to him and they were very far away from each other.
Su Ming's arrival eased Shi Tian's sorrow a little. After all, he now had someone to talk to.
Soon, after a few drinks, the two became familiar with each other.
Shi Tian's own strength was above Su Ming's, so he was not very vigilant or alert towards him. In addition, Su Ming was good at talking and listening. After a few inquiries, he felt that the two of them were getting along better and better.
"I saw that Brother Guanshi looked worried just now. Could it be that you have something bothering you? Since you call me brother, I must help you solve your problems no matter what..." Su Ming asked with concern.
"To be honest, Brother Su, you can find out about this matter by asking around in the North Sea..." Shi Tian shook his head slightly.
He didn't like to hide things. Anyway, the conflict between him and Jiang Lan had already spread throughout the North Sea.
Instead of hiding it, it is better to say it openly and set your mind right.
After listening to the conflict between Shi Tian and Jiang Lan, especially the one related to the woman in pink skirt next to Jiang Lan, Su Ming's expression seemed to be obviously stagnant, a little stiff and embarrassed.
"Haha, I appreciate Brother Su's kindness. Now that I've talked about this, I feel a lot better."
"I will settle the grudge between Jiang Lan and me myself, and will not let Brother Su get involved."
Seeing his expression, Shi Tian was not annoyed. He smiled heartily and then reached out and patted his shoulder.
After all, this is normal. Now the world includes the land outside the domain. Who dares to offend Jiang Lan easily? He and Su Ming just met for the first time. How could the other party really be willing to offend Jiang Lan for him? "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Shi. I'm not exaggerating. The reputation of Jiang Lan, the Saint of Taiyi Sect, has long been spread throughout the land outside the domain. Even the old antiques and ancient figures of our sect, who are living fossils, are extremely afraid of him."
Su Ming sighed, expressing his helplessness.
"This matter is indeed difficult for Brother Su. Jiang Lan is indeed difficult to deal with. He is too strong..."
As Shi Tian was speaking, he looked towards the banquet table where Jiang Lan was sitting in the distance, and saw Nie Zhaoyi, who seemed to be amused by something. She was covering her mouth with her eyebrows slightly curved. His heart suddenly twitched.
"I say, Brother Shi, you are a great man of your generation, and you will definitely become a saint in the future. Why should you be restrained by these love affairs? You are so sad for Nie Zhaoyi, but she pretends not to know and seems not to see it. In my opinion, this is too heartless."
"You all come from the North Sea. Doesn't she know that you are also at this banquet? Why did she deliberately talk to Jiang Lan so intimately and happily? What's her intention?"
Su Ming followed Shi Tian's gaze, his brows suddenly frowned, his face turned displeased, and he said in a deep voice.
"Sister Zhaoyi has a love tribulation. If she sees me, the love tribulation will flare up and she will be in excruciating pain. She has no choice but to do this."
Shi Tian shook his head somewhat sadly, picked up the wine, drank it all, and explained.
"Love tribulation? Since it's called love tribulation, then Brother Shi, you also know what the result will be if you avoid it. Isn't Nie Zhaoyi's current attitude avoiding it? If she has you in her heart, how could she be like this?"
Su Ming frowned, seeming very dissatisfied with Nie Zhaoyi.
"Brother Su, you don't understand."
Shi Tian continued to shake his head and explained, "If Sister Zhaoyi didn't have me in her heart, she wouldn't have avoided me. Back then in Nie Er Country and in Nie City, it was she who pleaded for me, which is why my love tribulation broke out and I was in so much pain that I wanted to die. I can't let her down."
"Brother Su, you don't have to say these anymore. In my heart, Sister Zhaoyi has always been a gentle and kind person, always considering others and ignoring her own feelings."
Su Ming heard this and said with a look of resentment, "Brother Shi, although your talent and strength are far superior to mine, there is one thing you are not as good as me, that is, you are too rigid and persistent. You never know what a woman is thinking. Women are the most fickle and the most admiring creatures in this world."
"Maybe she did have you in her heart before, but what about now? What about in the future? You have to know that the man next to her now is Jiang Lan, the Holy Son of Taiyi Sect, the Young Master of Xiandao League, and the future Emperor of Heaven."
"In terms of power, background, strength, and talent, there is no man in the world who can compare to him."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Any woman who has come into contact with him will start to weigh the pros and cons in her heart. No matter how dazzling you were before, no matter how important you were in her heart, you will slowly become dim..."
"Today is a good opportunity for you to see Nie Zhaoyi clearly."
Su Ming's voice was not loud, but every word and every sentence sounded like a morning bell, exploding in Shi Tian's heart.
"Sister Zhao Yi is not that kind of person..."
But Shi Tian still couldn't accept it and shook his head firmly.
However, at this moment, it seemed to correspond to what he said.
There was a sudden cry from the banquet table in the distance. Shi Tian looked over and his eyes widened involuntarily, and then his gaze suddenly became cold.
He was completely shocked, and the confusion and sadness in front of him seemed to disappear at this moment.
When Nie Zhaoyi was offering the wine to Jiang Lan, whether intentionally or unintentionally, his wrist suddenly loosened, and the wine glass in his hand tilted uncontrollably, and the crystal clear wine splashed out, wetting Jiang Lan's clothes.
At this moment, her face was flushed, and she was holding a clean silk silk in her hand, wiping it carefully. Occasionally, she looked up and apologized. In Shi Tian's opinion, the expression on her face was full of shyness.
