Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 459: Chapter 308: The World Knows, and the Spiritual Talisman’s Stirring Changes the Situation

Essence, Qi, and Spirit!

The three fundamental elements of human Cultivation. And the Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood seemed to have pushed all three of them beyond their limits!

After all, even the Immortal Forbidden Technique only ventured into a forbidden Realm. It couldn’t be said to have truly broken the limits—it had merely touched the threshold.

"In other words, as long as someone can break through the limits in these three aspects and achieve the state of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, they can reach the Earth Immortal Realm?"

Zhou Qingchen murmured.

The terrifying properties contained within the Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood were not difficult to discern. In fact, they were laid bare for all to see.

The path to the Earth Immortal Realm seemed simple and clear, but that was precisely what made it so difficult—an impassable chasm.

It was like a person asking God how to rule the world and become its supreme king, only for God to reply, "Just evolve into a Superman."

But the real question was how a human could transcend their own species to become a Superman in the first place.

No wonder. With no apparent way to cross this chasm, the Ancient Ones had pinned their hopes on Earth Immortal Cells and the so-called secrets of ancient Myths.

"How did the ancient Earth Immortals break through the limits of the human body? Could there be clues in the ruins everyone is fighting over?"

Huang Tianhu muttered to himself.

"It’s very likely. Otherwise, those old codgers who’ve been in hiding for years wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to fight for it. We still know far too little about Earth Immortals and the ancient Myths."

Zhou Qingchen said, taking a deep breath.

After sensing the terrifying properties contained within the Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood, Zhou Qingchen felt a crushing pressure she could hardly suppress.

Her specialty was the path of "Qi," but even if she were to pass the Thirty-Three Heavens Gang Tribulation, ’could my abilities truly reach the level of an Earth Immortal, a being that is a Qi Eater?’

’I’m certain it’s not possible,’ she thought. ’At best, I might reach the level of the Ancient Ones who have achieved Full Immortal Soul Understanding.’

"Everyone, the path of our predecessors belongs to them. Perhaps our future isn’t to become Earth Immortals. We must not be deluded by what we see here. We can learn from it, but we cannot become obsessed, or we risk not seeing the forest for the trees."

"We have come this far without relying on any Earth Immortal Power. Who is to say what our future holds?"

Yi Beidou’s sudden words left everyone momentarily stunned.

He was right. They weren’t walking the path of an Earth Immortal. The creature’s traits were merely a reference, not something to become obsessed with. Otherwise, they would end up just like the Ancient Ones, unable to extricate themselves.

"To divide this piece of Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood, we’ll likely need to perform a degree of ’Refinement’ to suppress its innate instincts. We may not have time for that right now. Once I’m free, I’ll divide it and distribute it to all of you for research."

Yi Beidou said.

"It’s a trophy you won. There’s no need to be so formal,"

Zhou Qingchen said with a smile.

While they were conducting their research, the turmoil in the Mediterranean Region was already triggering a tsunami of discussion around the world.

Mythical phenomena paralyzed an entire city, leading to numerous civilian deaths. Meanwhile, the local military was completely ineffective—in fact, they were too afraid to even act.

"Beings from the Myths are reappearing in the world! I heard they’ve lived for ages and come from legendary Secret Organizations! They’ve been secretly manipulating human society all along, and they have the power of immortality! They are humanity’s true masters!"

"I saw the phenomenon with my own eyes—it was the power of a god! Even fighter jets couldn’t get near! Soldiers with heavy weapons only dared to set up camp several, even tens of kilometers away from the battlefield. They were too scared to get close, let alone try to contain the chaos! No one can protect us!"

"The Divine Generals are returning to this world! All order will be shattered! We must hasten to bathe in the light of the gods!"

"..."

In the Western World, the internet was flooded with images of the terrifying phenomena from the battlefields across the Mediterranean Region, sparking widespread panic. Many religious believers saw it as a sign that the Age of Myth was returning, and numerous cults sprang up overnight.

In Donghua and the rest of the Eastern World, it was impossible to completely suppress this news, which led to public debate and unrest.

Everyone felt that their safety was under threat.

It might have happened in the Mediterranean Sea today, but what about next time? Could it happen in their own backyard?

「Within Donghua, at the Special Security Bureau Headquarters.」

A convoy drove into the heavily fortified, fortress-like building and came to a stop in an open courtyard.

Zhao Ping was personally leading a team to greet them.

An armored car, protected in the center of the convoy, opened its doors, and several familiar figures stepped out.

Xu Yao, Xu Zifeng, and Xiao Taoming stepped out of the vehicle. They were all worldly people, but never in their lives had they witnessed such a scene.

’The security detail for a head of state probably isn’t even this intense, is it?’

"Ms. Xu, I’m Zhao Ping, the director of the Special Security Bureau. I’m afraid we’ll have to ask you to stay here for a while. We will do everything in our power to ensure your safety."

Zhao Ping stepped forward with a smile and shook Xu Yao’s hand.

Not long ago, agents from the national security department had approached Xu Yao and her daughter, informing them that they were being taken into protective custody.

This was a necessary precaution given the current situation. Yi Beidou had drawn too much attention in the Mediterranean Region, and there was no guarantee that other countries or Secret Organizations wouldn’t try to target his family.
