With such a realm, how could he forcibly break through the boundary barriers between the sixth heaven and the eighth heaven? You know, even for Human Immortal Realm cultivators, crossing two realms to break the boundary requires the aid of artifacts, and it is a matter of nine deaths and one life.
Chen Ping supported his body, gave a deep bow to Lingxi, his voice hoarse but firm. “Reporting to the Fourth Hall Master, I did not take the risk willingly. It is truly because the sixth heaven has reached a point of life and death.
The Soul-Devouring Venerable seized the sacrificial scripture, released a hundred thousand demonic souls, slaughtered living beings. The divine kingdom’s cultivators suffered near-total casualties, beast tribes were exterminated, even ordinary cultivators could hardly escape the demonic clutches.
If I do not take a chance, the millions of living beings in the sixth heaven will have no chance of survival.”
“Your meaning is that you risked death to come find me to save the sixth heaven’s cultivators?” Lingxi asked!
“Yes, please, Fourth Hall Master, lend a hand to help, slay the Soul-Devouring Venerable, save the sixth heaven…”
Chen Ping nodded.
“Why should I save the sixth heaven’s cultivators? They are neither kin nor related to me, moreover, what is the sixth heaven, it does not concern me.”
Lingxi smiled and said.
Chen Ping was stunned, hurriedly said. “Fourth Hall Master, you are the Fourth Hall Master of the divine hall, a divine clan member, and the many cultivators of the divine kingdoms in the sixth heaven are also divine clan. You cannot just watch your fellow clansmen being slaughtered by those demonic souls, can you?”
“Hahaha…” Lingxi laughed. “The divine clan cultivators number in the billions. Although the divine kingdoms and I are both divine clan cultivators, we have no friendship.”
“Whether it is the divine kingdoms or our divine hall, they are just a tiny force within the divine clan. Why should I desperately go to save them?”
Lingxi’s words left Chen Ping momentarily at a loss for words.
He had not expected this result, that the Fourth Hall Master would answer like this.
Seeing Chen Ping silent, Lingxi continued. “Alright, let us not talk about this first, let us eat and chat…”
After saying that, Lingxi waved her hand, and Yunxiu ordered people to bring up a table full of fine dishes.
Chen Ping glanced at them and found that these dishes were actually cooked with high-grade immortal herbs. Not to mention the taste, just these things had great benefits for Chen Ping’s recovery.
Seeing this, Chen Ping did not refuse, directly sat down and ate. Right now, his body urgently needed recovery.
Seeing Chen Ping’s eating manner, Lingxi smiled faintly. It was obvious these were prepared for Chen Ping.
“Do you know how powerful that Soul-Devouring Venerable was before being suppressed?”
Lingxi asked Chen Ping!
Chen Ping shook his head. “He should be very badass…”
Chen Ping knew that the Soul-Devouring Venerable had been suppressed for ten thousand years, and it was just a soul body, but even so, his strength was extremely terrifying, reaching Human Immortal Realm, even Wu Hao was no match.
One can imagine how terrifying the Soul-Devouring Venerable’s strength was before being suppressed, when he had a physical body!
Lingxi slowly told Chen Ping about the Soul-Devouring Venerable’s past!
Lingxi’s fingertip lightly tapped the white jade tabletop, her gaze looking towards the misty horizon outside the hall, her tone carrying a touch of distance.
“You say he is ‘badass’, it is not wrong. But the word ‘badass’ is far from sufficient to encapsulate his former might. The Soul-Devouring Venerable was not a native demonic cultivator of the sixth heaven, nor even an eighth heaven cultivator. He was once a top demonic lord in the ninth heaven who could turn clouds with a flip of his hand and rain with another, titled ‘Heaven-Burning Soul-Devouring Demonic Venerable’. In ancient times, half of the ninth heaven’s territories were under his control.”
Chen Ping’s hand, which was picking up a piece of dew-condensed grass leaf, suddenly paused, the spiritual marrow fruit in his mouth almost not swallowed.
A top demonic lord of the ninth heaven?
Although he did not know the specific realm divisions of ninth heaven cultivators, he also understood that the higher the realm, the stronger the cultivators. An eighth heaven Human Immortal Realm cultivator placed in the sixth heaven is already a crushing existence. That a demonic cultivator who could control half of the ninth heaven’s territory, his strength probably already exceeded his imagination.
“Ninth heaven… top demonic cultivator?”
Chen Ping put down the jade chopsticks, his voice trembling slightly from shock. “Then why was he suppressed in the sixth heaven’s Thunder Sound Temple? With his strength, the sixth heaven’s cultivators fundamentally could not trap him, right?”
