Chapter 111: Zi You Returns to Sword Pavilion, Wuji Heavenly Venerable Awakens!

Year Seven!

【After hearing Xuanyuan Tianji’s explanation, you realized it aligned closely with your previous guesses, the only unexpected detail being that there might be more than one Son of Destiny like Lin Qi.】

【Now, hearing Xuanyuan Tianji’s confirmation, you became even more certain that the Heavenly Dao had been corrupted by the Bizarre Insect Progenitor.】

【Earlier, when you used the Eye of Truth to check Lin Qi’s identity, it had mentioned the Bizarre Insect Progenitor.】

【“Bizarre Insect Progenitor...”】

【At this moment, while you had discovered the source of the problem, this issue was far from being resolved.】

【After your conversation ended, you and Xuanyuan Tianji continued your cultivation in the Blood Demon Secret Realm.】

【As years passed in endless cultivation, you could feel the spiritual energy within the Blood Demon Secret Realm gradually thinning.】

【At this rate, you knew the secret realm couldn’t last for much longer—perhaps not even a hundred years.】

【The speed at which the spiritual energy was depleting was far beyond your expectations.】

【You now had two options: either solve the Bizarre Insect problem before the Blood Demon Secret Realm was completely drained, or find a new secret realm.】

【The Shuiyue Sect in Xuanzhou was temporarily not on your radar, as its secret realm was too small, only suitable for Bai He and the others to use.】

One month later!

【Lin Tian arrived at the Blood Demon Secret Realm to find you and informed you that Zi You had returned to Sword Pavilion.】

【Hearing Lin Tian’s words, you suddenly opened your eyes wide.】

【Since you had been forced to separate from Zi You in Xuanzhou, after so many years, you finally heard news of her.】

【You immediately took Lin Tian and used the Great Void Technique to rush back to Sword Pavilion.】

【Upon returning, you saw Zi You’s figure, but Zhuge Qing was nowhere to be seen.】

【You approached Zi You and asked if she had encountered any danger after the separation in the Endless Sea.】

【Zi You shook her head and flashed you a mysterious smile.】

【Then, you saw Zi You take out one top-tier spiritual object after another from her storage ring.】

【Among them were several Seventh-Rank pills.】

【You looked at the pile of spiritual objects in astonishment and asked,】

【“Senior Sister! Where did you get all these things?”】

【Zi You beamed proudly, then explained,】

【“After we fled into the Endless Sea, I split up with Zhuge Qing and eventually made my way to the Central Continent. The meeting point was supposed to be the Desolate Continent, but when we arrived, we didn’t find you. We learned that not long before, the Demon Race had fought the Xiao family.”】

【“We found Black King and learned that you had returned to the Central Continent.”】

【“After we came back to the Central Continent, we didn’t go directly to Youzhou. Instead, we raided the four great families and some of the top royal dynasties to steal treasures.”】

【Zi You then told you that after hearing about the Heavenly Calamity years later, Zhuge Qing decided to take drastic action to increase the human race’s chances of survival.】

【Hearing this, you asked why Zhuge Qing had not returned.】

【“Zhuge Qing said there were matters in the Central Continent he still needed to resolve. Once those were dealt with, he would come to Sword Pavilion.”】

【“Su Ming! When are you taking me to find the Ancestral Dragon Art?”】

【“It’s already been two and a half years since we came back, how much longer are you going to delay?”】

【Just as you and Zi You were discussing Zhuge Qing, Hei Tian suddenly burst out of the grass hut, pointing a finger at you and questioning you.】

【Zi You was stunned by this sudden turn of events.】

【“Who is this?”】

【You explained to Zi You that Hei Tian was Black King’s son, and that you had asked Black King to help you leave the Desolate Continent and promised to take Hei Tian with you and give him the Ancestral Dragon Art.】

【After returning to Sword Pavilion from the Central Continent, you had arranged for Hei Tian to stay at the pavilion.】

【In the past two and a half years, you had been so focused on the Chaos Immortal-Demonic Art that you almost forgot about Hei Tian’s existence.】

【Seeing Hei Tian’s displeasure, you reluctantly threw the Ancestral Dragon Art to him.】

【You didn’t have the time to take Hei Tian to the Heavenly Void anymore. Without Xuanyuan Tianji’s teleportation talisman, the Heavenly Void had truly become a forbidden zone for you.】

【Hei Tian, looking at the Ancestral Dragon Art in his hand, was initially stunned, then his expression turned to anger as he glared at you.】

【“You...”】

【“You clearly have the Ancestral Dragon Art, why did you lie and say you didn’t?”】

【You looked at Hei Tian with a dumbfounded expression.】

【“Did you train so hard that you’ve become stupid? If I didn’t say it like that, would your father have helped me get back to the Central Continent?”】

【“If I had just handed over the Ancestral Dragon Art to Black King, do you think I could have left the Desolate Continent so easily?”】

【Hei Tian stood there, unable to refute your words.】

【As you said, if you had handed over the Ancestral Dragon Art to Black King, he wouldn’t have helped you leave the Desolate Continent.】

【After a cold snort, Hei Tian turned and went into the grass hut.】

【Hei Tian immediately checked the authenticity of the Ancestral Dragon Art. After confirming it was real, a smile of disbelief spread across his face.】

After Hei Tian left, Zi You looked at the grass hut and spoke slowly.

【“Are you planning to use the Demon Race?”】

【“Of course!”】

【“Although we’ve always had issues with the Demon Race, we now have a common enemy.”】

【You looked confidently at Zi You and said,】

【“Aren’t you afraid the Demon Race will turn against you? You’ve already given the Ancestral Dragon Art to Hei Tian, and now you no longer have what they want.”】

【Upon hearing this, the corners of your mouth curled into a smirk.】

【“Who says I don’t have what they want?”】

【“I only gave Hei Tian half of the Ancestral Dragon Art. The other half is still in my hands.”】

【Zi You was slightly taken aback, then burst into a laugh.】

【“Little Junior Brother, you sure know how to handle the Demon Race.”】

【“So, was everything you said to Hei Tian just to deceive him?”】

【“Not entirely. The reason I didn’t give it to him on the spot was because I needed Black King’s help, but I still don’t trust the Demon Race, so I had to take precautions.”】

The next day!

【You set off for the Blood Demon Secret Realm once again, this time with some spiritual objects Zi You gave you.】

【Among these objects, you specifically selected a few that could nourish the soul.】

“Young friend! Thank you for the Heavenly Evolution Soul Dan!”

【As soon as you stepped into the Blood Demon Secret Realm, Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s voice rang in your mind.】

“Wuji Heavenly Venerable, you’ve awakened?”

“Yes! This recovery has reminded me of many things!”

“Senior, what important things have you remembered?”
