Chen Jiuyang continued to ask,
"What was my original plan?"
"The Blade Master, as the leader of the demonic path, walks the path of the Human Emperor, forging his own destiny and fortune. After impacting the Imperial path, he will lead the demonic path to attack Kunlun Holy Land and rescue his wife and daughter."
"Then he will slaughter the three great Holy Lands."
"Good!"
Chen Jiuyang's eyes blazed.
After the years, I am still me!
Chen Jiuyang asked again, "What is the current situation, and what is my predicament?"
"The Blade Master, in twenty years, has advanced from the fourth layer of the Celestial realm to the peak of the Venerable realm, wielding two laws and suppressing all contemporary prodigies."
"Dragon Country has completely revived. The demonic path remains a power of the extraordinary level, but the Blade Master is too astonishing and ruthless. Some old monsters within the demonic path are not entirely satisfied with the Blade Master. Furthermore, the Blade Master is completely engrossed in martial arts and has not spent much time managing the affairs of the demonic path, leading to a lack of stability within its ranks."
What made him happy was that although Yao Zixuan was captured by Kunlun, her life was not in danger, and she had given birth to a daughter for him.
No wonder the scene just now had happened.
Chen Jiuyang's thoughts settled, and he asked Yan Sheng Dao many more questions.
He discovered something: when he inquired about forbidden areas, Yan Sheng Dao could not provide a clear answer.
As expected.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly. The Creation Heavenly Secret Jade Disk had not included information about the nine forbidden areas in its deductions.
From Yan Sheng Dao, he obtained information about the general direction of the world, his personal connections, his martial strength, and so on.
He thought the deduction would disappear then, and he would return to reality, but it did not.
This made him frown.
Liu Ning had said that the transaction was to learn the whereabouts of his wife and daughter and the truth behind the massacre of the Yao family.
But now...
Wait.
He only knew that Kunlun had made a move, and Shu Mountain and the Forbidden City had betrayed him, refusing to assist him.
But he did not know why Kunlun had acted, and the truth behind the massacre of the Yao family remained unknown.
What was the truth?
But...
This allowed him to find a loophole in the deduction.
He used this time to ask Yan Sheng Dao about his astonishing cultivation journey, how he broke through his cultivation, what moves and divine abilities he had created, and where those two laws came from.
Most importantly, he gained time to familiarize himself with the current state of his peak Venerable realm combat power, thus gaining a clearer understanding of Venerable realm combat.
The illusory deduction was still different from reality, but it had only avoided the nine forbidden areas.
After the Celestial realm, entering the Venerable realm required one to have their own complete martial path. Therefore, the Venerable realm was also called "nurturing," where one nurtured the essence of their Dao, condensed laws, and then could impact the Imperial path.
This way, after the deduction concluded, Chen Jiuyang could improve his cultivation more quickly and rescue his wife and daughter at an earlier date!
Shu Mountain and the Forbidden City might have had their own difficulties in not assisting him.
But ultimately, they had betrayed him!
If they could not be trusted, then let them roll far away, and then slaughter them!
Otherwise, how could he repay this hatred?
Chen Jiuyang's combat power and moves were originally insights gained after creating the Yuan Dao, so learning and mastering them again through Yan Sheng Dao was very fast.
One day.
A subordinate of the demonic path came to report, "Reporting to the Holy Master, Kunlun Saintess Qin Yourou claims to be an old acquaintance of the Holy Master and wishes to meet him."
Chen Jiuyang's eyes flickered, and his heart could not remain calm.
Teacher Qin, Qin Yourou.
If he had listened to Qin Yourou back then, the abduction of his wife and daughter would not have happened.
He had not expected that in the illusory deduction, Qin Yourou had become the Saintess of Kunlun.
He did not know why Qin Yourou had come in this illusion.
Chen Jiuyang's gaze was indifferent, and he said, "Please invite her in."
"Guards, withdraw."
At Chen Jiuyang's command, everyone retreated. Then, only Chen Jiuyang remained in the grand hall. A moment later, Qin Yourou descended from the sky.
In the illusory deduction, after twenty years, Qin Yourou's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Immortal Dao Nascent Soul, one step away from the Soul Transformation stage.
"Teacher Qin, please have some tea."
He brewed tea, poured a cup, and handed it to Qin Yourou.
Qin Yourou had an ethereal demeanor, truly like a fairy, making her unforgettable at first glance.
Taking the teacup, Qin Yourou did not drink the tea. Instead, she looked at the handsome, devilishly charming, and imposing Chen Jiuyang, who was dressed in noble and magnificent robes, with a complex gaze.
Seeing that Qin Yourou did not drink the tea, Chen Jiuyang asked, "May I ask, Teacher Qin, what brings you here today?"
Qin Yourou's voice was gentle, with a hint of pleading humility, "Jiuyang, can't you take a step back?"
"Take a step back?"
Chen Jiuyang smiled lightly.
In the Jiazi year, Chen Jiuyang was merely an ordinary Celestial realm cultivator, not taken too seriously by the Holy Lands. However, twenty years later, Chen Jiuyang was at the peak of the Venerable realm, possessing combat power at the Imperial path level even within the Venerable realm. He had already vowed to break through Kunlun, rescue his wife and daughter, and then slaughter Kunlun, Shu Mountain, and the Forbidden City, the three great Holy Lands, to avenge the past.
The news of Chen Jiuyang's failed attempt to impact the Imperial path could not be suppressed at all; it was known throughout the world, astonishing everyone.
How old was Chen Jiuyang to attempt to break through the Imperial path? His talent was unparalleled, second only to Emperor Yan. Once Chen Jiuyang entered the Imperial path and attacked the Holy Lands with the demonic path army, it would no longer be a laughable matter.
Instead, it would be a real butcher's knife hanging over the heads of the major Holy Lands.
As time passed, the major Holy Lands could no longer sit still and voluntarily admitted their mistakes. Previously, they had sent envoys to try and meet him for a discussion, but they were all killed before they could even see Chen Jiuyang.
The internal conflicts within the demonic path were one thing, but Chen Jiuyang was ultimately the co-lord of the nine lineages of the demonic path. How could he allow external forces to underestimate him?
This time, the Kunlun Saintess Qin Yourou, who had a connection with Chen Jiuyang, was sent to negotiate with the Demonic Emperor Chen Jiuyang, hoping for a good outcome.
Chen Jiuyang looked at Qin Yourou with a complex expression. After a long silence, he said, "Teacher Qin, I'll be frank with you. As long as you return my wife and daughter, everything is negotiable."
Qin Yourou remained silent for a long time, then her delicate body trembled slightly as she lowered her head. Chen Jiuyang's desperate voice echoed:
"I'm sorry, Jiuyang."
"Zi Xuan and Nannan are no longer in the mortal world. Twenty years ago, in the Jiazi year, they ascended to the immortal realm with the old ancestors of the five great Holy Lands."
"Boom!!!"
Chen Jiuyang felt this illusory deduction slowly dissipating. This was the truth.
He quickly pressed, "What exactly happened!"
Qin Yourou said,
"Zi Xuan carries the bloodline of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and she combined with you, the person of great fortune in this era, to give birth to Mingzhu. Nannan is the key to activating the Nine Cauldrons."
"When the Nine Cauldrons appear, they will open the rift between the mortal realm and the immortal realm."
"This is a plan that has been meticulously planned for countless years, named 'Ascension to Immortality'."
"Jiuyang, I am truly sorry. Twenty years ago, Zi Xuan and Nannan were no longer in the human world."
Darkness enveloped Chen Jiuyang, and he asked, "When was the time for 'Ascension to Immortality'?"
"The Jiazi year, the eighth day of the eighth month, during the full moon."
Then, Chen Jiuyang fell into darkness.
