Chapter 297: The Return of Three Thousand Souls and the Realm of the Ancestor Deity
Hearing the words of the Old Domain Master, Sun Zhe's eyes flickered slightly. He seemed to understand a little, yet it felt as if he understood nothing at all.
Taking a gentle breath, Sun Zhe forcibly suppressed his thoughts. The restoration of other memories was secondary; what truly helped him was the part concerning cultivation. After all, it was the experience of reaching the Saint Level Pinnacle. Sun Zhe believed that he would not encounter any bottlenecks in his cultivation until he reached the Saint Level Pinnacle.
Moreover, his previous insights into Sword Technique had all merged into Sun Zhe's memory. Whether it was the powerful Stunning Blade Technique or the nearly perfected Slaughtering Seven Styles, they greatly enhanced Sun Zhe's strength. This time, Sun Zhe truly felt confident in battling a Saint-Level Expert. Of course, his opponent would still be at the early Holy Rank; after all, as one progressed further, the disparity in strength became increasingly terrifying. Challenging higher ranks was not as simple as a few words, and with his current cultivation level, he could not fully unleash the power of Slaughtering Seven Styles.
Watching Sun Zhe quietly standing before him, the Old Domain Master said nothing. He knew that Sun Zhe was sorting through his memories. After all, it was difficult for anyone to accept such a sudden influx of memories. However, Sun Zhe did not keep him waiting long; after about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he finally regained full consciousness.
"What is the third matter?"
The Old Domain Master possessed Calculation Technique; if he truly wanted to investigate, there were few things in this world that could escape his notice. However, this reverse Divine Ability did not consume spiritual power but rather drained one's life essence. Therefore, he rarely used it unless it concerned the rise and fall of humanity. Just as Sun Zhe sensed, his own end was drawing near.
"The third matter concerns two women..." A complex emotion flashed across Sun Zhe's face, and a hint of daze appeared in his eyes as he slowly began to recount.
"Yes, I understand your situation." After waiting for Sun Zhe to finish speaking, the Old Domain Master nodded lightly and calmly looked at him but did not immediately respond to his inquiry. This reaction gave Sun Zhe an uneasy premonition. After a moment of silence, the Old Domain Master finally spoke slowly.
"Have you ever heard of a Divine Ability called Three Thousand Souls Returning Technique?"
"Three Thousand Souls Returning Technique?" Sun Zhe frowned slightly and shook his head gently. The name sounded somewhat strange, but he indeed had never heard of this Divine Ability.
"Ah, I must be getting old; this Divine Ability does not originate from humanity and is not even passed down from the Nine Continents World. Naturally, you have not heard of it," the Old Domain Master said slowly.
"Not from humanity or the Nine Continents... Could it be..." Sun Zhe's body trembled as a look of shock flashed in his eyes, involuntarily exclaiming in surprise.
"Indeed, this Divine Ability comes from the Demon Race and can be considered one of their supreme Divine Techniques. In terms of mystery and secrecy, it is no less than our Blade Domain's three methods passed down over countless ages."
Without making Sun Zhe wait long, the Old Domain Master directly revealed to him that it did not come from humanity or the Nine Continents but rather from the Demon Race that eyed the Nine Continents covetously!
"This Divine Ability is a unique skill of the Nightmoon Demon Ancestor among the Demon Race. When the Demon Race invaded the Nine Continents during a Cataclysm, more than half of the hundred clans in the Nine Continents were destroyed in that great war. Several major clans suffered significant damage as well; however, it was not only my Nine Continents that were affected—the Demon Army also suffered heavy losses. Several Demon Ancestors even fell in the Nine Continents during that time, including this Nightmoon Demon Ancestor who experienced a collapse of their divine body and ultimately faced the fate of their Three Thousand Souls Returning Technique disintegrating!"
"If it were an ordinary Demon Ancestor whose divine body collapsed and whose Three Thousand Souls Returning Technique disintegrated, there would be no hope for rebirth. Yet this Nightmoon Demon Ancestor mastered such a reverse Divine Ability; before dying, they actively transformed their dissipating soul into three thousand scattered souls and then reincarnated. Once their three main souls awaken again, they can be summoned back one by one. Ultimately, when these three main souls merge into one, they will become a new Nightmoon Demon Ancestor!"
At this point, the Old Domain Master stopped and calmly looked at Sun Zhe.
Stumbling back a couple of steps, Sun Zhe trembled slightly, his face turning pale. He slowly raised his head to look at the gray-haired Old Domain Master, forcing a smile.
"She... they can't be... the reincarnation of that Nightmoon Demon Ancestor's main soul, can they?" Sun Zhe trembled as he looked at the Old Domain Master, his black eyes revealing an unprecedented sense of anticipation. He had never cared so much about anything before, but at this moment, he was afraid—afraid that the Old Domain Master would give him a positive answer.
"I don't know about that girl named Qiu Ruo; her soul was mostly extracted at birth. Otherwise, given her life, she shouldn't have lived such a short time. However, this girl named Tang Yuexi is indeed the reincarnation of that Nightmoon Demon Ancestor's main soul. If it weren't for the person behind her risking everything to protect her, she would have likely been captured by those people long ago. Even so, with the demon clan about to descend, her situation is probably not good."
Looking at Sun Zhe across from him, the Old Domain Master certainly understood the relationship between Sun Zhe and these two girls. However, even with his profound cultivation, some things could not be reversed; after all, he could not go against fate.
After a moment of silence, Sun Zhe stared blankly at the cold stone wall. Although he had already had a bad premonition in his heart, he couldn't help but tremble. Even though the Old Domain Master hadn't made it clear, he believed that Qiu Ruo must be related to the Nightmoon Demon Ancestor; otherwise, why would anyone bother to meddle with an ordinary person's soul?
There was another reason that only Sun Zhe knew: Qiu Ruo and Tang Yuexi were almost identical, even their breathing was the same. These various reasons proved Qiu Ruo's origins; however, what Sun Zhe did not know was whose hands Qiu Ruo's soul was in—was it with the human race? Or with the demon race? Or someone else...
The Old Domain Master was right; the demon race was about to descend. The powerful figures of the human race could not leave Tang Yuexi—a ticking time bomb—there. In front of all humanity's pressure, even a peerless figure like the Old Domain Master would likely have to compromise. When it came to issues of survival for their race, any problem was insignificant; this was the consensus of everyone in the Nine Continents!
"What kind of existence is that Nightmoon Demon Ancestor in the demon race?" After a while, Sun Zhe slowly exhaled and turned his gaze back to the Old Domain Master.
"This question starts with the division of the Divine Realm."
The Old Domain Master did not hesitate and began to explain.
"The Divine Realm can be divided into four stages. Once you break through to the Divine Realm from Saint Level Pinnacle, you enter the Initial Stage of Divine Realm. As your understanding of Law deepens, you can gradually reach mid-stage, late-stage, and even peak; you know all this already, so I won't go into detail."
In his previous life, Sun Zhe had already cultivated to Saint Level Pinnacle; he naturally understood this common knowledge and did not interrupt but quietly waited for the Old Domain Master to continue.
"And when you comprehend Law to great success, what you understand will transform into rules. Rules are the beginning of existence; beyond rules there are no further divisions of realms—only differences in strength among rules. At that time, you will also step into a new domain known as the Realm of the Ancestor Deity."
The Old Domain Master's gaze showed no fluctuation as he calmly explained to Sun Zhe. However, listening to him made Sun Zhe feel excited; he had previously been completely unaware that there was a Realm of the Ancestor Deity above Divine Realm. It was well-known that without stepping into Divine Realm and mastering Law, one could not achieve anything. Now that he hadn't fully grasped Law yet, it was hard for him to imagine what rules were like.
"Could it be that Nightmoon Demon Ancestor is an Ancient God Strongman?" A hint of bitterness flashed across Sun Zhe's face as he reluctantly asked.
"Indeed, that Nightmoon Demon Ancestor is a peerless powerhouse of the Ancestral God Level within the demon race. Although she is merely a woman, there are very few in the demon race who can surpass her. Her status among the demons is absolutely significant, and one who can create a Three Thousand Souls Returning Method such a remarkable Divine Ability is certainly not an ordinary person."
"Above the Divine Realm is the Pangu Ancestor, but stepping into the Realm of the Ancestor Deity through the Great Mastery of the Laws is exceedingly difficult. Many talented individuals of our human race have been blocked at that final threshold. Although it is just a thin line of difference, it separates them from true Ancient God Strongmen. Do not be fooled by the numerous strong individuals in our human race; only a handful can truly reach the Realm of the Ancestor Deity. The Ancient God Strongmen play a crucial role in the war between our two races, so that girl... is very important!"
With that, the Old Domain Master couldn't help but let out a slow sigh. His meaning was already very clear; he believed that with Sun Zhe's intelligence, he would understand his implication. This Tang Yuexi, he could not protect!
"Domain Lord, I understand your meaning. There is one last question: what exactly is this place?"
As he spoke, Sun Zhe flipped his right hand, and a purple map appeared in his palm. It was indeed the map of the Thunder God Altar. As soon as this map appeared, an extremely mysterious aura spread out, as if it had already recognized Sun Zhe as its master, firmly sticking to his hand and repelling the surrounding air.
"This... is actually the Thunder Spirit Paper Talisman..." Upon seeing this map appear, Old Domain Master's murky eyes suddenly brightened. With a wave of his right hand, the map, which had previously shown great resistance, offered no resistance at all and flew directly into Old Domain Master's hand.
"It is actually a map of the Endless Abyss..."
After staring intently at the map for a while, Old Domain Master finally slowly spoke out the name of the location on this map—a name that Sun Zhe had never heard before...
