Chapter 1849: Chapter 91: Secrets of the Divine Ancient World (2)
He couldn’t help but ponder secretly.
"Could it be that the Great Elder is not dead, like Yeluo and the Plague God, trapped by Nightmare in some way?"
He then shook his head.
"Not necessarily, if Nightmare had been planning the Great Fusion for a long time, then it wouldn’t be impossible for him to lure the Great Elder into the First Universe early on and use the apocalypse there to kill him..."
Zhang Xiaoman thought this was also a possibility, after all, the premise for a Middle Extraordinary Level being to be Undying is the support of Dark Spiritual Power. Without even Dark Spiritual Power, they naturally can’t survive.
This was similar to what happened in the Divine Ancient World. According to Ni Yang, there were originally four Demon Kings in the Immortal Realm, three of whom fell in the apocalypse, and only he survived through his extremely strong constitution.
Recalling what Ni Yang said, Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes brightened, for he remembered the other had once referred to Jiu Jiu.
Immediately after, his figure abruptly disappeared from the spot and reappeared at the Star Alliance base on Water Blue Star.
"Jiu Jiu!"
Zhang Xiaoman came to Jiu Jiu’s side. Upon seeing him, the little creature immediately approached excitedly.
"Haha, your strength has improved quickly too, you’ve even grown a fourth tail. It seems Sisi and the others haven’t been stingy in feeding you these past few years."
He patted Jiu Jiu on the head. The little creature now had four tails floating behind it, and its strength had significantly increased, reaching the Upper Control Level in its normal status.
This was thanks to Lin Sisi and the group of women, as Jiu Jiu had always been the group pet of the Star Alliance, conquering their hearts with its cute appearance.
Previously, because it was trapped in the Divine Ancient World, it couldn’t return to the organization. Once Zhang Xiaoman connected the two planets, Jiu Jiu successfully returned to Water Blue Star through the Original Realm and was showered with affection once again.
As a group pet, people often came to play with it and naturally fed it treats like the Osmanthus Pills that it loved.
These Osmanthus Pills weren’t ordinary snacks but Dark Spiritual Power food exchanged from the contribution mall. When consumed by Spiritual Beasts, they could extend life by a year, and due to Jiu Jiu’s unique constitution, they even allowed it to upgrade.
After being fed so many times, its strength improved rapidly, and it had grown a fourth tail.
However, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t visit Jiu Jiu just to pet a fox but to inquire with Ni Yang about the Sky Fox Clan.
"Ni Yang, I remember you said before that Jiu Jiu is a Sky Fox. Have you seen a Sky Fox before?"
He summoned Ni Yang’s Divine Soul projection from the Sect Leader Jade.
The Green Little Dragon looked at Jiu Jiu and confirmed:
"Although this little one looks a bit peculiar, I can be sure it’s from the Sky Fox Clan, no mistake about it. I’ve met the Clan Leader of the Sky Foxes and know the aura they carry, just like this little guy."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman was moved, realizing his guess was correct: the Sky Fox was a Star Spirit, and the Star Spirit was the race of the Great Elder of the Dark Star Alliance’s Star Spirit Council.
"So, the Great Elder might really have been lured into the First Universe and perished in the apocalypse?"
"Ni Yang, do you know about the strength of the Sky Fox Clan?"
Zhang Xiaoman asked.
"The strength of the Sky Fox Clan is quite impressive among the Demon Race, but they are very mysterious. I haven’t seen ordinary Sky Foxes much, but I did meet their Clan Leader once, though it seemed heavily injured at the time. I wonder who could have been powerful enough to harm it like that."
"Oh? What is the specific realm of the Sky Fox Clan Leader’s strength?"
The Green Little Dragon tilted its head, thought for a moment, and said:
"It should be at the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak, just a bit short of Immortal King. Definitely not as powerful as I was. Back in the Immortal Realm, I used to beat up that Immortal Emperor kid. Even when several other Demon Kings teamed up with countless Immortals, they couldn’t handle me. I’m not bragging, if that Immortal Emperor kid hadn’t tricked me into the Extermination Immortal Array, there’s no way I could have gotten injured!"
The more excited Ni Yang became, the more it gesticulated wildly, clearly resentful and unable to forget the past events.
Indeed, anyone would feel awful if they were enjoying hot pot and singing at home, then suddenly their origin was sought for healing by someone, tricked by companions to fight, and almost killed.
Zhang Xiaoman remembered the story Ni Yang had once told him; the Immortal Emperor attacked because of a mishap during cultivation, wounded to the origin by the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, trying to heal himself through Ni Yang’s origin.
"What’s most infuriating is those bastards! How many times did I share my good food with them? Yet, they were swayed by a few words from that Immortal Emperor to pretend to team up against the Immortal Palace, only to stab me in the back at a critical moment! If it weren’t for those fools, I wouldn’t have been trapped in the Extermination Immortal Array!"
"Hmph, fortunately, the apocalypse came in time, taking out all those bastards. Only I survived by my divine skills, though it’s a pity I can’t take revenge myself, such a pity..."
As Ni Yang mumbled, Zhang Xiaoman cast a sympathetic look at it.
This guy was really wretched; among the five Demon Kings in the Immortal Realm, it was ostracized and betrayed by the others, falling from the peak to the bottom, eventually hiding in Jade Spirit Lake of the Tianyuan Sect.
"So, as you say, the Sky Fox Clan Leader’s strength is comparable to the other Demon Kings, making six Great Demon Kings in the Immortal Realm, right?"
Ni Yang shook its head solemnly and corrected:
"Not comparable to those other Demon Kings, comparable to those other Demon Kings! I was stronger than all of them put together!"
"As for your mention of six Demon Kings, there is no such thing. We didn’t count it in."
Zhang Xiaoman wondered:
"Oh? Why not?"
Ni Yang pouted and said:
"Our five Demon Kings lived in five parts of the Immortal Realm, where would a sixth direction be assigned to it? Besides, saying five Demon Kings sounds better than six. Six and five aren’t the same; a larger number makes us Demon Kings seem less classy."
Zhang Xiaoman’s face darkened, unexpectedly, it was for this reason.
Ni Yang swung its tail and continued:
"Ha, and another major reason is that the Sky Fox Clan Leader barely made appearances; we’ve hardly ever seen it, so how could we count it in?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman nodded, finding it reasonable.
However, he reconsidered Ni Yang’s earlier words, from which it seemed the Sky Fox Clan Leader’s strength was similar to that of the other Demon Kings, implying it should be above Middle-level Transcendent.
Consequently, the power aspect essentially matched; it was very likely the Great Elder of the Star Spirit Council was the Sky Fox Clan Leader.
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly sensed that the secrets hidden by the Divine Ancient World were beyond his imagination, and the Immortal Realm mentioned by Ni Yang seemed to have some connection to the Second Universe. Could it be the Immortal Realm was the Second Universe itself?
He slightly shook his head, finding this a stretch. If that were the case, then Ni Yang shouldn’t be clueless about many basic facts in the Second Universe.
Recalling his plan to explore the Immortal Realm was initially shelved due to lack of strength, Zhang Xiaoman resolved in his heart.
Having now reached Pseudo Middle Stage Transcendent, with his current power, he could certainly explore there thoroughly and uncover any hidden secrets in that Immortal Realm.
