"I've managed to dissuade the Hand of God for now. I never imagined the so-called divine calamity would be like this. It's something no ordinary cultivator could withstand. We must find out what's going on. Where is the Demon Ancestor? Where is the Ghost Immortal?"
Yao Shiba slowly turned his head, his face pale, but a hint of relief appeared in his eyes as he said:
"I have met the Immortal Lord. I even tried to escape the Immortal Lord's clutches to find the entrance to the Demon Cave, hoping to avoid the calamity of the gods. But since I refined the immortal spiritual energy in the Ancient Immortal Land, my demon ancestor bloodline and the immortal spiritual energy have become one, and I have also gained a sliver of enlightenment!"
Li Sisui's eyes showed shock. Only then did he carefully examine Yao Shiba. There was a black hole the size of a fist on the latter's chest, which was slowly rotating and expanding. It would probably be swallowed up in no time!
"What...what happened? You've already cultivated the body of a demon immortal. In this ancient immortal land, besides me, who could possibly harm you? Could this...could this be related to the divine hand that just fell to the ground?"
Yao Shiba gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly, saying:
"Immortal Lord, there's no need to blame yourself. Everyone has their own destiny. Even if it's ordained by Heaven, one must accept it. I once thought I could shoulder the heavy responsibility of the demon race, but now it seems the Lord is wise. From now on, the demon race is entrusted to you, Immortal Lord. As for this black hole in my chest, if I'm not mistaken, this is the entrance to the Demon Cave that the demon race has been longing for, that pure land where they can escape the calamity of the gods..."
Li Sisui's eyes reddened, and he roared angrily. Then, he silently chanted a few words, and the originally calm sky instantly became turbulent. Immediately, tangible immortal energy rushed in and surged into Yao Shiba's chest. Li Sisui said hatefully:
"I don't care about any of that. Here, nobody can die, nobody can die. Everyone better stay alive!"
As the dense, almost tangible, immortal spiritual energy surged in, Yao Shiba couldn't help but let out a long breath. The spinning speed of the black hole in his chest gradually slowed down. Although it didn't disappear, at least it didn't seem to be getting worse.
Yao Shiba also sensed the change in the black hole in his chest and cast a grateful glance at Li Sisui, who then said in a hurry:
"Hurry, come with me to find the Demon Ancestor and the Ghost Immortal. They must know something, including the black hole in your chest. All of this happened too suddenly!"
With that, he grabbed Yao Shiba and, ignoring the surrounding demons, disappeared. When the two reappeared, they had arrived at the spiritual spring where the Ghost Immortal was reshaping his immortal body. Not far away were Demon Ancestor and Leng Rushuang. They never expected to see these two here.
Seemingly sensing Li Sisui's arrival, the Demon Ancestor and the Ghost Immortal exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of excitement in each other's eyes. The Ghost Immortal spoke first:
"The Immortal Lord Tongtian was able to sever the Hand of God with his own power. I admire him greatly!"
The Demon Ancestor also wore a meaningful smile as he carefully examined the impetuous Li Sisui. Leng Rushuang had a cold expression, but her eyes seemed to glance at Li Sisui, her concern evident in her words.
Li Si nodded to Leng Rushuang, then looked at the Demon Ancestor and the Ghost Immortal and said:
"You...you know each other?"
"It's more than just knowing him. I've been close friends with the Demon Ancestor for over a thousand years. If it weren't for me, he probably wouldn't have become the Demon Ancestor so easily. It wasn't until the Ancient Immortal Land was destroyed by the Hand of God and fell into oblivion that our contact was severed..."
The Demon Ancestor looked embarrassed and quickly retorted:
"Old man, you've fallen into the trap of the gods yourself, how did you manage to drag me into this? If it weren't for you back then, perhaps the Ancient Immortal Land wouldn't have perished, and Demon Mountain and Demon Cave wouldn't have fallen apart. Maybe we would have already found a way to escape our cage by now!"
"A cage? What do you mean? Stop playing coy! Even though I've severed a piece of God's finger, I might still anger the gods. Who knows what will happen next? Hurry up and think of a solution!"
Li Sisui couldn't help but feel anxious. The Demon Ancestor and the Ghost Immortal exchanged a glance, and the latter then said seriously:
"The most urgent thing is to go to Wulipo first. It's a place that the Hand of God can't reach. My immortal body is almost fully refined, so it's a good time to go and meet some old friends!"
The Demon Ancestor nodded, clearly agreeing with the Ghost Immortal's suggestion, while the surrounding crowd exclaimed in surprise:
"Wulipo? Even the cultivators of Shura Ridge couldn't handle the Hand of God. Going to Wulipo would be suicide, wouldn't it? Seniors, are you sure you're not mistaken? Besides, with our strength, let alone the strength of the cultivators at Wulipo, the backlash alone would wipe us all out. There's simply no way we could possibly descend upon Wulipo..."
The Demon Ancestor and the Ghost Immortal exchanged a glance, paused, and then said:
"You are unaware that although there are cultivation restrictions at Wulipo, it is actually the only place that the Hand of God cannot reach. The higher you climb, the closer you are to the Hand of God, and the more dangerous it will be when the Divine Calamity descends. Of course, you will never know these things until your cultivation reaches a certain level. Wulipo is not what you see on the surface. In fact, it hides countless powerful cultivators. Hmph, you will know when you see them. If you want to deal with the gods, you may only have some countermeasures after you see them!"
Everyone, including Li Sisui and Leng Rushuang, was completely dumbfounded. They never imagined that their persistent cultivation and ascent would bring them closer to the destruction of their souls and consciousness. On the contrary, staying in Wulipo was the safest place. This was truly astonishing!
Controlling the tremors in his heart, Li Sisui conjured a heavenly gate beside them, and the group filed out, finding themselves on the grounds of Wulipo.
"Rest assured, everyone. I have enveloped you all with immortal spiritual energy, which can shield you from the backlash of Wulipo. You can descend to Wulipo with peace of mind. I never thought that one day I would return to Wulipo. I wonder how Luoyun Sect is doing now?"
