He couldn’t help but think of that, specially since he still had the Silver Cascade Holy Water drop he had received from the system.
But on second thought, he decided to not give it to anybody for now. He had thought of giving it to Tian Yunchen at first too, but he dismissed that idea after some thought as well.
He needed to know if they would stay loyal if he made them Chosen Ones or not. Even when Tian Yunchen was his own brother related by blood, he still couldn’t trust him fully unless his favorability reached 5-Star at the very least.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered what Tian Yunchen had told him.
The demonic path and Demons were planning to resurrect the Demon God soon!
The Archaic Forbidden Demon God, a legendary entity who even the Divine Sovereign had trouble defeating!
He almost destroyed the entire world during that time. If he gets resurrected, then there’s no doubt...
At that time, the world will be plunged into chaos all over. Not to mention that there is no Divine Sovereign this time to stop him.
I need to enhance my strength even further if I want to survive in the future. I’ll think of all this later on.
If there is no Divine Sovereign this time to defeat the Archaic Forbidden Demon God, I’ll have to do it myself.
He sat down in a lotus position once again, and began another cultivation session.
Meanwhile, at Yan Jingfei’s side.
She sat in her daoist temple, nervously looking at the jade slip in her hand.
"This is what’s going to guide me back to the inheritance of my past life once again..." She breathed heavily, heaving out a sigh.
That inheritance was the reason I could reach such heights in my past life..but will it even be there anymore?
I don’t know if the disruption of spacetime made it disappear too...if it is still there, then, will the Immortal Goddess still remember me from my past life, just like master did?
Maybe not...master was probably even more powerful than her in his past life. That’s why he can peer into spacetime and even fate.
"Phew...whatever, I’ll brace myself for what fate has in store for me. But first, I need to reach the Golden Core Realm before going to get the inheritance." She said to herself before closing her eyes.
...
2 years later.
Lu Qingfeng came out of his daoist temple after breaking through to the Eighth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.
Despite being only in the Eighth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, he could now already fight on par with Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. He often used to spar with some disciples at the peak of Qi Condensation Realm when he was in the Seventh Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, and even managed to defeat them.
Right now, after consolidating his cultivation, he had come out to spar again so that his battle experience may increase. Unlike Tian Yongheng, he did not have a Simulation Battle Trial, after all.
As soon as he stepped out of his daoist temple, his gaze landed on the Bodhi Wisdom Tree, which was now almost thirty feet tall.
He couldn’t help but make a weird expression upon seeing it.
I asked master about why it was growing so fast despite being a mythical tree that should grow very slowly, and he told me that it was growing do fast because of the good environment of the Eternal Peak.
But still...isn’t it growing a bit too fast? Doesn’t it have a height limit? I forgot to ask master this, and now I have to wait until he finishes his cultivation session.
In fact, Tian Yongheng himself did not know of the Bodhi Wisdom Tree’s height limit. He only told Lu Qingfeng that it was growing so fast because of the Eternal Peak’s environment because that seemed like the most logical reasoning, since the system was not telling him anything.
Still, the Spirit Qi emanated by it is really dense and pure. Cultivating besides it is the best. I guess the more it grows, the greater the benefits it would provide for cultivation. So it’s a good thing!
Coming to this conclusion, Lu Qingfeng didn’t think about it any longer and went to spar with some of his fellow disciples to check out his current strength.
...
At the same time, in a small village located far away from the Eternal Peak.
The entire village had been utterly destroyed, not a single house left intact. Lifeless corpses could be seen in every single corner, their blood completely drained.
At this time, a man with an extremely ominous and frightening aura was walking through the village, holding the head of a corpse who’s blood had also been completely extracted.
The man looked to be in his twenties, with a pale and somewhat eerie face. His sclera was black, and pupils blood red. But unlike Tian Yongheng’s eyes, which were a bright, crimson red that represented his invulnerability and unparalleled might, his blood red eyes represented fear and terror.
He looked like a Devil who had escaped the deepest pits of hell and come out to cause chaos in the human world.
"With this...I only need some more before I can breakthrough again." He muttered, his lips curling up into a sinister smile.
At this moment, a woman suddenly appeared beside him. She also seemed to be in her twenties, with a good figure. Although she wasn’t average, she couldn’t be called exceptionally beautiful like Mo Yuxin too.
Her pupils were black, complementing her jet black hair which flowed down her waist.
She bowed respectfully before calling out to the man.
"Master, the task you gave has been completed. But there seems to be a mishaps." She said, her voice showing no signs of any emotion.
"What is the "mishap" you speak of?" The man turned to look at her and just gave her a casual smile while asking this.
"...As per your orders, me and some seniors went to the Thousand Petals Hall and told them your proposition. As expected, they not only denied it but even attacked us. Having no choice but to fight back.
Multiple Great Elders of the Thousand Petals Hall were killed by us, the Supreme Elder was severely injured, he’ll die soon, and we also killed the Hall Master’s eldest daughter later on kidnapping her youngest son. Only then did they concede defeat.
But there is a force called the Yan Immortal Dynasty located near the Thousand Petals Hall. And a few years ago, there was a battle of Golden Core Realm experts, with some of them being demonic cultivators, to the northwest of the Yan Immortal Dynasty, near the area of the Heavenly Spirit Pavillion that is a subsidiary force of the Spirit Sword Sect.
But the thing is, it is rumored that the emperor of the Yan Immortal Dynasty has connections with a peak Golden Core Realm expert who also participated in that battle and decimated everything within a range of 300 miles. That expert is supposedly staying near the Yan Immortal Dynasty, from the information we’ve gathered.
If the Yan Immortal Dynasty were to catch the wind of what went down in the Thousand Petals Hall anyhow, they would definitely contact that expert. I wanted to hear your opinions on this matter, master."
Listening to her, the man didn’t utter a single word and just stood there quietly.
At this moment, he smiled slightly before saying, "If he was truly at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, he wouldn’t need to participate in that battle to end it. It can only mean one thing, he used some special means to release the power of the peak of Golden Core Realm. I can also do that, you know?"
His smile suddenly distorted into a terrifying look on his face as he spoke again, "What..don’t tell me, you’re doubting me...my beloved slave?"
He tapped the shoulder of the woman, immediately sending shivers down her spine, which finally caused some emotions to fluctuate on her otherwise indifferent face.
It was the same emotion the others had felt when Tian Yongheng was about to use his Sword Dao Divine Power, the Heaven Earth Quintessential Sword Finger.
Fear.
An extreme sense of fear.
One wrong move, and her head would be sent off flying.
"I...neither I nor the others have ever doubted you, master. You’re the highest peak achievable, after all. The only being we ever looked up to. There’s no way I can ever doubt anything you’ll do." She uttered out, her voice shaking and lips trembling.
She couldn’t even stand straight from the peer pressure the man was giving off.
"Are you sure?" He asked once again, his voice growing increasingly low.
"I-I’m sure, master."
"Haha, good, good, good!" He laughed, retrieving his pressure and stepped aside from her.
The woman finally breathed in gasps, sweat dripping down from her forehead.
"Now, let’s go to the nearest mortal village from here. I still need more blood."
"Yes, master."

With that, both of them flew off into the distance.
