Corpse True Fraud Acting as Goblins_2 “If they didn’t hide it from you, they wouldn’t hide it from the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance either.
Perhaps, the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance is already organizing a counterattack.”
Chen Dengming noticed this was a probing attempt, but for now, he still couldn’t determine the other party’s stance.
All he could do was dare to probe back.
“Senior, I am quite puzzled.
If you didn’t wish for the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators to intrude, why did you assist the Heavenly Demon and the Lord of Mosha Country before…”
This question hit Dongfang Huayuan’s weak spot.
...
The latter paused in his response, his tone clearly showing displeasure.
“Everyone makes mistakes, and I am no exception.
During the beginning of the Four Regions War, it was about a internal strife, competing for resources in the Four Regions, and reorganizing and redistributing these resources.
Could you have predicted that their ultimate goal would be to tear open the barrier and release the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators?”
Chen Dengming was at a loss for words.
He had indeed hit the nail on the head.
That’s right.
The Four Regions War went on for many years, with countless cultivators from the Southeastern Two Realms clashing with the Northwestern counterparts over territorial and resource disputes.
Who could have foreseen the Northwestern realms’ colossal ambitions, their ultimate aim to breach the boundary, invite the wolf into the house, and consume the Four Regions and the Four Oceans?
“So Dongfang Huayuan was deceived, just as I had once suspected?”
Chen Dengming pondered in his heart but didn’t fully believe it just yet.
No one can truly understand another’s mind; it can’t be explained in a few words.
For now, it’s better to keep feigning ignorance before coming to a conclusion.
After further communication, the topic gradually shifted from war to other matters.
Chen Dengming’s impression of this Demon Star started to change slightly.
No matter whether the other party had ulterior motives or not, at least he didn’t maintain the arrogant attitude of Long Aotian anymore.
The interaction was more comfortable.
When Chen Dengming deliberately praised the Demon Star for his incredible feat of slaying a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator as a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, the Demon Star surprisingly showed a bit of humility and revealed the truth behind his valorous act.
“There’s no such thing as mythology in this world.
It’s just a combination of luck, opportunities, and people’s exaggerations.
Indeed, during the Complete Golden Core period, I might have been able to fight against a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator who has not received the Dao Orthodoxy.
With luck, I might have been able to win against him despite the boundary difference.
But in the late-stage Golden Core, the hope is slim, especially when I was being chased by two Nascent Souls…”
“Oh?” Chen Dengming felt that the suspicions that had troubled him for many years might finally find an answer today.
Now, he could also defeat some late-stage Golden Core cultivators without Dao Force.
Even Complete Golden Core cultivators, according to Su Yan Ye’s evaluation, couldn’t do anything to him.
But standing toe-to-toe with a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was utterly impossible, let alone defeating a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even if he advances to the late-stage Golden Core in the future, the success rate would only increase from one percent to two percent.
Dongfang Huayuan continued, “At that time, I could only rush into the uncontrolled Human Strength Hall.
Initially, I was prepared to be trapped in the Human Strength Hall for hundreds of years.
What I didn’t expect was that they chased me inside.
You should be clear about the suppression of non-Daoist cultivators imposed by the Human Immortal Ancient Palace.
That time, I first experienced its power and eventually killed the Nascent Soul of the Miaoyin Sect inside and subdued Feng Qingbo of the Yingyue Sect…

Chen Dengming finally understood.
He compared this experience with his own feat of killing Han Yongxu, the Sect Leader of the Miaoyin Sect at the Foundation Establishment stage, and later shocking Liang Yunsheng and drawing the attention of Qiu Feng.
It all fell into place.
Of course, it could be imagined that killing a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator at the late-stage Golden Core, even with the help of the Human Immortal Ancient Palace, would have been much more challenging than when he killed Han Yongxu.
However, precisely because of the factor of the Human Immortal Ancient Palace, this hundreds of years old legend lost its color as a myth and was no longer as shocking.
“Alright, kid…
I can see you are still cautious around me.
But it doesn’t matter, I believe you are intelligent, and you will gradually figure out whether I am telling the truth or not.
When you do, we can have another conversation.”
After expressing his sincerity, Dongfang Huayuan took the initiative to end the conversation to give both sides some time and space to think.
Being hasty won’t get things done faster.
Although their present situation was concerning, there was no immediate danger yet.
They had some time to build trust, which was key.
“Yes!
I will seriously consider what the senior said today.”
At this point, Chen Dengming no longer prevaricated and responded politely.
He had always left room for maneuver to avoid becoming enemies straight away.
This flexibility was reserved for future investigations and defensive preparations.
As it seems, Dongfang Huayuan noticed this but was willing to overlook it, showing sincerity indeed.
The two of them didn’t discuss the benefits of their possible cooperation, leaving that discussion for the next conversation.
Although Chen Dengming was anxious about the fourth Una Dao of the Spiritual Inheritance, he didn’t express his impatience.
After the conclusion of their conversation, the Human Strength Hall formed by the Human Immortal Dao Force gradually faded, and the shadow of the Demon Star Dongfang Huayuan was about to completely disappear.
Chen Dengming breathed a sigh of relief and was about to project his consciousness to his Martial Immortal incarnation deep on the sea floor.
The marvelous effect of the “Melting Spirit Base Stealing Skill” had previously shocked him, and he was eager to try it out.
However, just as his spirit sensed the existence of his Martial Immortal incarnation, a sudden change occurred.
Chen Dengming abruptly felt an extremely cold spiritual power invade his mind.
It was as if an icy spring had burrowed into his spirit, the bone-chilling cold threatening to freeze his consciousness completely.
