"The Heavenly Emperor's talent is simply astonishing from human standards, ah."
Although everyone had already seen the Heavenly Emperor's so-called secret technique, when they saw it again, they couldn't help but sigh.
The Heavenly Emperor successfully practiced an Ancient secret technique in the blink of an eye.
This kind of talent, they couldn't help but envy.
Everyone heaved a sigh and glanced curiously at the former Heavenly Emperor, thinking what secrets he would say.
Even Lin Feng paid close attention to this.
After all, he was the one who led everyone to invade the Nine Heavens Palace and kill the Heavenly Emperor. So, he regarded the Nine Heavens Palace as his territory, and naturally, he wanted to have control over the secrets within the Heavenly Palace in the future.@advancechaptersareavailable

(Within the screen in the sky)
The former Heavenly Emperor stood in front of the five sculptures and slowly spoke as his face gradually turned solemn, "Lin Yan, it was the five Ancient Goddesses who created the Heavenly Palace to hunt the Extraterrestrial Devils…."
"These Extraterrestrial Devils, not only invisible and shapeless but also can erode the human's heart with greed. Only the cultivator who has been blessed by the Goddesses, or practiced the Devil-Tracking technique, can find their whereabouts…."
"Once a being possessed by these Extraterrestrial Devils, sooner or later they will all lose their sanity and become a monster…."
"Since the Heavenly Palace inception, I have been secretly forming demon hunting squads to hunt these Extraterrestrial Devils…."
"Also, the names inscribed around are all the names of the devil hunting squad's members who died at the hands of the Extraterrestrial Devils..."
…
…The Extraterrestrial Devils?
Was that all? Was that the so-called Heavenly Palace's secret?
Gradually, the cultivators in the Lingxuan continent discerned what was being played on the screen over their heads.
Listening to the former Heavenly Emperor's words at this moment, everyone in the Lingxuan continent couldn't help but shake their heads at once and grimace as they all long ago knew about the existence of the Extraterrestrial Devils.
However, they were disappointed when the former Heavenly Emperor told it as if it was a secret.
…
At this moment, Lin Feng and others were disappointed as they didn't expect the former Heavenly Emperor to tell such a common thing as if it was a mysterious secret.
However, looking at them, Teng Gang couldn't help but say, "Now the Extraterrestrial Devils aren't worth mentioning. After Lin Yan had become the Heavenly Emperor, he completely wiped them out... Before that, these Extraterrestrial Devils were far more terrifying than you can imagine."
When Lin Feng heard Teng Gang's words, he smiled and said, "Brother Teng Gang, you sure jest."
Even others looked at Teng Gang in the same way, and it was evident that none of them believed in what he said.
Looking at them, however, a thought suddenly popped up in Teng Gang's mind, "The Heavenly Emperor protected these people too well. Even the terrifyingness of the Extraterrestrial Devil has been forgotten."
But, in the next second, Teng Gang shook his head and drove this thought out of his mind. No matter what, he was now with the allies against the Heavenly Emperor, and naturally, he couldn't defend the Heavenly Emperor at every turn.
"You guys keep watching. Soon, we brothers will encounter a terrifying Extraterrestrial Devil and almost die in battle at that time, but thanks to him, we…."
Teng Gang turned his gaze back to Zhao Ling'er, and his voice became lower and lower.@advancechaptersareavailable

(Within the screen in the sky)
Carefully, the former Heavenly Emperor continued to describe the Extraterrestrial Devil's terrifyingness to Lin Yan, "Lin Yan, you are the strongest battle general of my Heavenly Palace. Recently, I've seen you kill even immortals. I want you to lead a demon hunting squad to hunt more Extraterrestrial Devils. …Of course, you will not risk your lives for nothing as the Heavenly Palace will give corresponding merit and rewards for every Extraterrestrial Devil you hunt. "
This was the real purpose why the former Heavenly Emperor had taken the initiative to visit himself today.
Instead of immediately agreeing with the former Heavenly Emperor, Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and asked skeptically, "Your Highness, since these Extraterrestrial Devils are so terrifying, then why doesn't the Heavenly Palace announce the information about them? Then, won't all cultivators in the Lingxuan Continent work together to eliminate these Extraterrestrial Devils?"
The current Lingxuan Continent only had a few sects whose strength was on par with that of the Heavenly Palace. So, it would be much better if they all hunted together to kill the Extraterrestrial Devils.
Unexpectedly!
When Lin Yan raised this question, the former Heavenly Emperor's face immediately changed.
"Never!"
"Lin Yan, hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was also a Heavenly Emperor who, with the same idea, informed the other sects of the Lingxuan Continent about the situation of the Extraterrestrial Devils, but the result…."
As the former Heavenly Emperor spoke, his complexion turned grim, "…It led to the downfall of the entire Lingxuan continent. Countless cultivators cooperated with the Extraterrestrial Devils. At that time, it triggered a wave of Extraterrestrial Devils, almost destroying the entire Lingxuan continent. Since then, the Heavenly Palace has firmly blocked the news, only to constantly send their demon hunting squads to hunt those Extraterrestrial Devils."
Lin Yan's eyebrows furrowed.
The Extraterrestrial Devils were so terrifying, so why did the cultivators taken the initiative to cooperate with the Extraterrestrial Devil?
However, the suspicion on Lin Yan's face only surfaced for a moment as he immediately figured out the problem.
There were countless cultivators in the Lingxuan Continent, but most were bottom-ranking cultivators with low talent.
These weak cultivators all shared a dream to become strong. But unless they encountered a fortuitous encounter, they would never be able to become a high-ranking cultivator in their lifetime.
It wasn't difficult to understand that they actively chose to cooperate with the Extraterrestrial Devils to overcome their barrier.
Also, many high-ranking cultivators were stuck at the barrier and no longer made the slightest progress for many years, so it was very likely that they too cooperated with these Extraterrestrial Devils in exchange for power.
…
Looking at Lin Yan's pensive expression, the former Heavenly Emperor reached out his hand, patted his shoulder, and said, "Lin Yan, what I proposed just now, consider it. These Extraterrestrial Devils are extremely dangerous to the Lingxuan Continent. Hunting them down also saves all the living beings on the Lingxuan Continent...."
Lin Yan interrupted the former Heavenly Emperor, not waiting for him to finish, "Your Highness, I am just an ordinary cultivator; it's not my turn to worry about the living being of the entire Lingxuan Continent… However, I'm the Heavenly Palace's Heavenly General, so I naturally have to follow the orders of your Highness so that you can give me specific information about the demon hunting squad."
Initially, when the former Heavenly Emperor heard Lin Yan's words, he thought Lin Yan would reject his proposal, not daring to hunt those Extraterrestrial Devils.
This caused a little helplessness to rise in his heart. However, Lin Yan's words stunned him, and he soon burst into laughter, "Kid, you are cold but also warm-hearted."
Saying so, the former Heavenly Emperor handed Lin Yan the information.
Lin Yan took it and left the Heavenly Palace alone.
…
"If we didn't meet each other in the past, maybe this wouldn't have happened now."
Teng Gang's expression became more and more complicated as he watched Lin Yan leave the Heavenly Palace.
He knew very well that once Lin Yan was set on the mission, it was time for him to meet with them and become one of their sworn brothers.
Although in Teng Gang's heart, he had long hated the Heavenly Emperor, Lin Yan. But watching the past appear in front of his eyes at this moment, he signed, feeling downhearted.

holy hell, i can honestly say im surprise. i mean, i always theorized from the start of all this that the real way he'd turn everyone to his side is by making up some story about some alien cultivators or demons who secretly threatened the world, and he was the only one holding them back. I expected him to reveal it through the mirror, then once the experience was over he'd come out of it weak and mortal and looking at the original protagonist, saying he hoped he was ready to take up the task of keeping those alien cultivators at bay now that the MC had no power....
ReplyDeletei legitimately thought that was a possibility that could sway all the cultivators here and heroines to his side, making them sympathize with him. Thought that the former heavenly emperor would've joined their side in secret and thats why he was killed by the MC. .
But honestly, i didnt think that would ACTUALLY be the case here. So maybe the second part is going to turn out true to? With the former H.E. being corrupted? And MC killing him, but not telling his daughter to spare her feelings, not wanting her to know about the outside Devils and do something reckless like trying to go after them because its too dangerous. Like, that had to be why the current emperor never told her, too.
Anyway, im just a bit stunned that my prediction, if you can call it that, was actually true. But i mean, it really was the simplest way to turn everyone's opinon of him around, i just didnt think it'd be broadcast to everyone else too
Thanks a lot boss. Boss is it possible to increase the update speed a bit? Thanks again boss.
