Lingxi picked up the jade cup on the table, took a shallow sip of spiritual tea, and continued. “This brings us to the ‘God-Demon War’ of ancient times.
Back then, the Soul-Devouring Venerable had reached the transformation realm in his ‘Heaven-Burning Soul-Devouring Art’, able to devour divine souls, refine immortal essence. He slaughtered nearly thirty percent of the cultivators from other clans in the ninth heaven.
He even妄图 to covet powers from higher dimensions, stirring up a storm of blood in the ninth heaven, even severely injuring the God King of the ninth heaven at that time.”
“Later, the seven major forces of the ninth heaven joined hands, gathering a hundred Celestial Immortals, a thousand peak Human Immortals, and engaged him in a decisive battle at the ‘Fallen God Abyss’.
That great war lasted a full three years, the spatial barriers of the Fallen God Abyss were shattered in over a hundred places, four of the seven sect leaders died, more than half the Celestial Immortals fell, only then barely severely wounding his physical body.
But even so, his divine soul remained formidable, the remaining three sect leaders exhausted their last divine power, yet could not completely annihilate it.”
At this point, Lingxi’s eyes grew a bit more solemn. “If the divine soul is not extinguished, there is a day for a comeback. To eliminate the threat forever, the remaining three sect leaders consumed their own origin, setting up the ‘Nine Locks Soul-Sealing Array’, forcibly stripping his divine soul, suppressing it in the sixth heaven’s Thunder Sound Temple where the realm barriers are weakest, and inviting several top rune masters from the ninth heaven to engrave divine runes on a bell.
This bell is called the Thunder Sound Bell, the runes on it can suppress the Soul-Devouring Venerable. They originally thought that with the thin immortal qi in the sixth heaven, plus the array’s suppression, the Soul-Devouring Venerable’s divine soul would eventually be worn away to nothing, but unexpectedly, after ten thousand years, the Thunder Sound Bell was stolen, the Soul-Devouring Venerable broke through the seal, even his subordinates were not eradicated after ten thousand years.”
Chen Ping listened with a sinking heart, no wonder the Soul-Devouring Venerable could possess Human Immortal Realm strength with just a soul body, turns out he was a ruthless character who could contend with the main gods of the ninth heaven back then.
Recalling that the Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord was a great demon from the ninth heaven, Chen Ping really wanted to ask this guy if what Lingxi said was true.
Unfortunately, now the Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord was as good as dead, Chen Ping could not contact him at all.
Even if Chen Ping used his divine sense to search throughout his sea of consciousness, he could not find any trace of the Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord.
“So, you are not going to the sixth heaven to save the divine kingdom cultivators because you fear that Soul-Devouring Venerable, fundamentally cannot defeat him?”
Chen Ping looked at Lingxi and asked.
“Hahaha, are you using provocation?” Lingxi looked at Chen Ping and laughed. “Unfortunately, provocation does not work on me. Since you have come to the eighth heaven, just properly recuperate here, then stay in the eighth heaven to cultivate. Only when you possess absolute strength yourself is that the most important.”
“The cultivators of the sixth heaven are neither kin nor related to you, why meddle so much…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping’s face turned slightly cold. The sixth heaven had Wuji Daoist, you know, Wuji Daoist was Chen Ping’s lifesaver, and also Ting’er’s master.
Moreover, the sixth heaven still had Hu Mazi there, and Ziyan, and people from Lingyue’s Medicine King Sect.
How could Chen Ping possibly stay alone in the eighth heaven, ignoring the life and death of these people?
“Since you have no intention to help, then farewell. Even if it means death, I must return to the sixth heaven…”
Chen Ping said, standing up to leave!
Seeing Chen Ping about to leave, Lingxi gently waved her palm, a barrier appeared in front of Chen Ping. No matter how hard Chen Ping tried, he could not penetrate it.
“You insist on returning to the sixth heaven, is it because there are many people you care about in the sixth heaven?”
“For example, that Medicine King Sect, over three hundred disciples, all slept with by you…”
“And that divine kingdom’s advisor Ziyan, seems to have been licked by you, can also be considered your woman.”
“Is it because of these women that you insist on going back?”
Lingxi asked!
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping’s face immediately reddened. “You… have you been spying on me?”
“This is not spying, I just wanted to understand you a bit, did not expect you to be quite fierce…” Lingxi laughed.
