Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1105 Don't Stop Us from Doing Big Things

Hunt down the Holy Demon.

Clearly, this suggestion was more effective than all previous persuasion. The will of the Four Sages of Tianyuan froze for a moment, and then Chen Zhiyang immediately spoke, saying in a deep voice: [Really? Fellow Daoists, are you truly willing to join us in hunting down the Holy Demon?]

【how? 】

In response, the strange creature of Mount Tai asked in return: "What are we here for if not to kill the Heavenly Demon? To admire the scenery? Or... do you not want us to kill the Heavenly Demon?"

This is not a good idea.

The Myriad Transformations Divine Pivot constantly shifted its form, swaying its body as if shaking its head: "Such a great achievement, and you all want to monopolize it? I advise you fellow Daoists of Tianyuan, if there's a powerful enemy, you should take us with you to fight. Don't think you can claim it all for yourself!"

What do you mean by "keeping it all to oneself"?

Chen Zhiyang was somewhat bewildered. Thinking he had misspoke, he explained, "Although the Holy Demon was annihilated by the Heavenly Burning Divine Weapon, He is still half a Lord of the Heavenly Origin Realm. As long as the Heavenly Demon exists, He can be reborn in the Abyss. Although it is very likely that only a phantom has been reborn at present, even that phantom is difficult to deal with!"

To demonstrate his sincerity, He even bluntly stated the mistake they had made back then: "He is rooted within the Heavenly Dao, located in the Abyss of Inferno. Even approaching him greatly increases the chance of being corrupted by his demonic influence and falling into depravity!"

Back then, we wanted to eliminate the Holy Demon before it grew stronger, but we were ambushed by it. When we destroyed its 'true form,' we were caught off guard and swallowed by the entire Great Abyss. Our bodies were invaded by the demon, so we had no choice but to devour the heavens and the earth, transforming into half a Holy Demon to fight against it.

Thus, Chen Zhiyang spoke with a tone of admonition: "Fellow Daoists, never underestimate the Holy Demon! Though He may be defeated, crushed, or even reduced to ashes, the Heavenly Demon… is immortal! Even if this Holy Demon is gone, another will emerge!"

That's great news!

However, the sincere advice of the Immortal Zhiyang had no effect whatsoever; the Dragon Gods of the Four Seasons even laughed.

The present-day Dragon God turned his head and casually said to the ancient Dragon God beside him: "Judging from this description, it seems that this Holy Demon should be Lingxiao, a peak Heavenly Sect cultivator who possesses the 'Heart of Heaven and Earth'."

[If we were to kill such a powerful demon, the sheer magnitude of that achievement would likely earn us a grace period from the Heavenly Dao.]

"Indeed," even the Dragon God of Death couldn't help but speak. Although the other three Dragon Gods had temporarily lifted most of the seals on Him for the sake of momentum, He was still restrained and unable to move or speak freely. Nevertheless, He sighed, "That Supreme Elder 'Di Yuan' of the Pure Nether Sect, didn't he gain three thousand years of lifespan for no reason just because he had accumulated a lot of merit in exorcising demons? Although our dragon race has a long lifespan, three thousand years is still a tenth of our lifespan."

Moreover, let alone slaying a Saintly Demon, Di Yuan only killed some Great Heavenly Demons and half of the Venerable Great Heavenly Demons, yet he received such a divine gift.

If we can annihilate the Heavenly Origin Saint Demon this time, I dare not even imagine what divine favor the Heavenly Dao will bestow!

Even Haotian Mirror couldn't help but fantasize: "That's a Saintly Demon! I was thinking last time, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could eliminate him completely? Putting aside everything else, with such a fusion of fortune, it wouldn't be impossible for my Mingjing Sect to produce a Heavenly Venerable!"

Putting aside everything else, Cheng Guang Tianjun and Chen Yinzi, as the spirits of the Northern Heaven Cave, may be able to break through this and truly achieve a new realm, instead of relying on the cave for protection!
In this way, the foundation of the Mingjing Sect will instantly surge!

At this moment, the seven Heavenly Venerables of Huaixu were all in high spirits, their excitement reaching its peak. They were all eager to fight and couldn't wait to make a move immediately.

But the Four Sages of Tianyuan were completely baffled. —What's going on? Why are these people from Huaixu so excited about something so dangerous?
—Are all the people of Huaixu insane? Don't they know that if they are accidentally ambushed by the Holy Demon, they will either die or, like them, be condemned to eternal damnation and a miserable existence?

【No……】

Although puzzled, as the Celestial Venerable of Lianshan, Jiang Haoxu quickly realized why the two sides seemed to be communicating somewhat out of sync.

He suddenly realized: [It's the destiny of martial arts... destiny... so that's how it is! Martial arts practitioners, besides having extremely high resistance to demonic energy, probably, as long as they fulfill their 'duties to Heaven,' including subduing demons and monsters, the Heavenly Dao of Huaixu will bestow 'divine grace,' a power directly originating from the Heavenly Dao!]

and……

Because lifespan is not eternal, none of the martial arts masters Lingxiao Tianzun are afraid of death. Even when their lifespan comes to an end, they are not cowardly or afraid of the end, but rather want to burn brightly for the last moment!
【However!】Immortal Yin Zheng of Xuandu quickly understood, and solemnly said: 【The Heavenly Dao should be without thought, without knowledge, without self, and without inclination. If the Heavenly Dao of your Huaixu Realm has developed inclinations and preferences, even if that inclination is 'to eliminate the Heavenly Demons,' it means that your world has also been invaded by demons!】

Moreover, the extent of the erosion is probably far beyond what we can imagine!

"We all know that."

An Jing stepped forward calmly: "Every world has its own difficulties. But at least, the difficulties of the Tianyuan Realm don't seem to be a problem for our Heavenly Venerables—they are quite willing, or rather, they came here to do great things and kill the Holy Demons."

All the celestial beings nodded in unison, some even feeling a sense of emotion.

To be honest, the Four Seasons Dragon Gods originally chose to ally with the Mirror Sect because of the Ancestral Dragon's opinion and optimism. They undoubtedly believed that Anjing was the destiny above all others, after all, among so many destinies throughout history, none could truly influence the struggle between Daoists or the general fate of an entire world, not even in the slightest.

But now it seems that An Jing has not only influenced the fate of one world, but his fate is also of paramount importance in the Tianyuan Realm!

As long as you follow Anjing, you'll have more and more achievements like the Heavenly Origin Saint Demon in the future, and you'll never have to worry about not having the right destiny and opportunity to do great things!

Moreover, it would be an immense benefit for them as well.

【brother】

At this moment, the thoughts of the ancient Dragon God and the present Dragon God were rapidly exchanging. One of them excitedly transmitted, "Our current positions in the Heavenly Realm are ultimately attained through the power of our ancestors. Although it makes no difference to us, if we can truly attain the Heavenly Realm through our own strength by relying on this great achievement, then the legacy left by our ancestors can be made available!"

In this way, under the best-case scenario, my Ancestral Dragon Palace could probably have at least five or six, or even eight, Lingxiao masters at the same time!

If all the current Four Seasons Dragon Gods can attain the Heavenly Soaring Realm through their own achievements, and with the added blessing of the remains of the four Primordial Four Seasons Heavenly Dragon Ancestors, then it means that as long as the Ancestral Dragon Palace has four pure-blooded Heavenly Dragons at the peak of the Heavenly Monarch level, under extreme circumstances, the Ancestral Dragon Palace can produce a total of eight Heavenly Soaring Dragon Gods in one go!

In this way, even a great dragon power like the [Time and History] can be used by the Ancestral Dragon Palace in two at once!
This was also the source of the former Ancestral Dragon Palace's confidence.

Although they vowed never to be the first to use the 'Book of Time', a force with a maximum level of eight Lingxiao cultivators has every right to say that 'not being a Heavenly Sect member is not because they don't want to, but because they can't'!
