Chapter 93 Heavenly Pool Opens, Demon Saint Plots
The Great Demon Starfield.
With the opening of the Heavenly Pool in the Desolate Mountain imminent, various demon clan forces gathered around the mountain early in the morning, as if on a pilgrimage:
"Luckily, we received the information early, otherwise, even more people would have come if the other seven demon domains had gotten wind of it!"
"First come, first served! This is a place the Demon Emperor visited when he rose to power! Once the news gets out, even more people will probably come here!" The demons discussed animatedly.
"Both the Qilin Prince and the Kunpeng Young Master have come this time! Along with Miss Zhu Qingcheng from the Zhu family, it's hard to say which of these three prodigies among the younger generation will ultimately benefit the most!"
"Besides these three imperial clans, other rising young talents have also arrived! Hopefully, after they've finished courting us, they'll still have some opportunities!"
The Heavenly Pool is incredibly magical; it has a chance to help cultivators who immerse themselves in it to further enhance their superior talents in a certain area!
Legend has it that when the Demon Emperor of the Bamboo Clan went into seclusion here, he achieved the ultimate sublimation of his bloodline; otherwise, it would be uncertain whether he could have attained enlightenment.
The Heavenly Pool, nurtured by the heavens, is a unique treasure of the Great Demon Star Domain.
Throughout countless years, all eight demon realms have opened similar Heavenly Pools, but none have achieved particularly outstanding results.
Some say it's because the demon race's bloodline is cursed.
Some say that the Heavenly Pool, nurtured by heaven and earth, has lost its divine nature and can no longer regain its former divine power.
However, since the Heavenly Pool of the Desolate Mountain is where the Demon Emperor has stayed, everyone's expectations are still very high.
"It's a pity that four of the seven ancient imperial beast families have left the Great Demon Starfield, along with some other long-established families, who have gone out to find a way to break the bloodline curse. Otherwise, the prosperity here would be even greater!"
"Look! The Qilin Clan and the Kunpeng Clan are here!" The group of people talking all looked up at the void, and saw two powerful teams flying towards them.
"Huh? The team leader is only a half-saint?"
"Could it be that the powerful figures of these two families believe that the Heavenly Pool where the Demon Emperor once stood has also lost its divinity?!" Everyone discovered that the people from the two imperial beast families were only led by half-saints, and the powerful demon race that arrived later was also led by only half-saints.
It should be noted that when the Heavenly Pool of the Wilderness Mountain appeared, at least five saints led the major forces that came to the scene!
For example, the Golden Crow King, the protector of the Bamboo Clan, is one such example.
Looking around now, only the Golden Crow King stood on the peak of Zhujia Mountain, overlooking the surroundings; not a single saint from any other force had appeared.
The meaning is self-evident!
There's probably nothing particularly special about this Heavenly Lake.
'Alas! It seems that my Great Demon Starfield has truly declined...' The onlookers shook their heads, their anticipation waning considerably.
Meanwhile, in a secret underground chamber tens of thousands of miles away.
The seven great demon clans, including the Kunpeng clan, have gathered here!
In the crowd, an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face stroked the patterns on the shell of a tortoise in his hand and whispered:
"Yesterday, through my divination, I discovered that the fate of Zhu Qingcheng, the imperial daughter of the Zhu family, has undergone a tremendous change! Her destiny to perish at the age of thirty due to a blood pulse attack has vanished! Now, I can no longer deduce her aura, which must be blocked by the Heavenly Dao."
"Now that the Zhu family has replaced their commander with someone from Tianchi at the last minute, this person is likely the key to altering Zhu Qingcheng's fate! And this person is a human!"
To his left stood an old man with a hooked nose, his hawk-like eyes flashing sharply as he whispered:
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Gui, are you implying that Zhu Qingcheng's bloodline reverted to its ancestral form last night? And that this human who entered the Heavenly Pool may have given her the Emperor's Blood?!"
Although the Zhu family hid Zhu Qingcheng very well, even using great supernatural powers to conceal the aura on her body, the Xuan Turtle Clan had its own secret techniques!
The only explanation for Zhu Qingcheng's current lack of danger in failing to revert to her ancestral bloodline is that she has already obtained the Demon Emperor's blood and successfully reverted to her ancestral bloodline!
To be honest, this was something that everyone present found hard to accept!
It should be known that the major powers in the Great Demon Star Domain have spent countless manpower and resources in order to find the essence blood of the Demon Emperor and wash away the bloodline curse, but all have come to nothing.
Even more than 100,000 years ago, several imperial beast families joined forces to intimidate the Zhu family and force them to hand over their imperial blood.
Without the blood of an emperor, the Zhu family had no choice but to wage war. In a desperate move, they even used imperial weapons, resulting in the deaths of four saints!
Of the seven great imperial beast families after the war, four fled to the Great Demon Star Domain.
They claimed to be searching for a way to break the bloodline barrier beyond the borders, but in reality, as the instigators of the war, they were defeated by the Bamboo Clan in a life-or-death struggle.
With relations between the two sides strained, he led his men to flee to other star systems.
But today, the Xuan Turtle Ancestor told them that a human had brought imperial blood to the Zhu family?!
Once the Zhu family rises to power and settles old scores, things will be in trouble!
"You can understand it this way." The Xuan Turtle Ancestor nodded and looked at the Kunpeng Clan Saint in the center:
"Fellow Daoist Fuguang, the great trend has arrived, and the Zhu family has taken the lead. If we fall too far behind..."
He didn't say what he was going to say next, but everyone present understood.
The only way to break this deadlock is to let them also obtain the Emperor's Blood!
The bloodline curse of the demon race can only be washed away by the miraculous blood of the emperor.
After pondering for a moment, Fu Guang looked at the crowd:
"Now Zhu Qingcheng must be under the tight protection of the Zhu family. Moving against her would undoubtedly lead to war with the Zhu family. The only chance is that human who entered the Heavenly Pool! Even if this person does not have the Emperor's blood, it is still very possible to take him hostage and force the Zhu family to hand over some of the Emperor's blood."
The reputation of the Takeya family for their benevolence is widespread; if this human is their benefactor, this matter might actually come to fruition!
"Furthermore, I believe," the Floating Light Saint said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"This bloodline curse between humans and demons is inextricably linked!"
"As for that old scoundrel Qilin, he's always been at odds with us. Let him watch the show, no matter how unwilling he is, he'll have to join us after this is done!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Turtle and the others understood.
This is an attempt to pin the blame on that human, and to gather the anger of the entire demon race to coerce the Zhu family.
This time, however, the Zhu family clearly possesses imperial blood!
Unlike the last great war where they sat on the sidelines and watched the tigers fight, the demons who were observing will now have to take sides to avoid being purged!
At that time, even the Qilin Clan will have no choice but to join them!
"A justifiable cause, this plan is brilliant!" The group exchanged glances, smiled faintly, and disappeared into the secret chamber...
……
"Sword Master, keep it up!" Zheng Feifeng, looking at the distant demon horde as she descended the mountain, encouraged Luo Hongxi.
"With your qualifications, you should have a good harvest!"
'What could I possibly gain? You think too highly of me…' Luo Hongxi muttered to herself, but then she saw Chen Haotian take the small coffin off his back and hand it to her.
"Sword Master, activate it if anything happens! Don't worry about us, we have the Bamboo Family and Senior Golden Crow protecting us, nothing will happen."
"It can't be that bad, it's just a trip." Luo Hongxi shook her head.
"Don't worry, I'll come find you after I'm done."
"How could it not be!" Zheng Feifeng took the ancient coffin and tied it directly to her back, whispering instructions:
"Sword Master, we are human! Carrying this on your back is just in case. Listen to me!"
It is true that the Bamboo family treats the people here well.
But the situation with external forces is hard to predict.
Moreover, they had a long talk with the Zhu family last night and learned that the Zhu family had suffered a great battle and was severely weakened!
The major powers appear to be at peace on the surface, but they are all secretly vying for power.
If they find out later that the Zhu family gave the Heavenly Pool spot to a human, some might ostracize and mock Luo Hongxi, and there's even a possibility they might take action!
Seeing how nervous the two little ones behind him were about Luo Hongxi, the Golden Crow King smiled faintly:
"Don't panic, with me here, those little brats won't dare to lay a hand on Hongxi."
He shouldn't address her as "Ancestor" in public, otherwise, if others overheard, it would definitely cause Luo Hongxi unnecessary trouble.
"Yes, yes, what you say is right, senior!" Zheng Feifeng and Chen Haotian nodded repeatedly and then turned around to continue to carefully instruct Luo Hongxi.
The Golden Crow King may not know the true value of Luo Hongxi, but the two of them do!
If it weren't for the fact that Tianchi was such a wonderful place for seizing opportunities, they would all have preferred to go there themselves, so as to avoid the Sword Master getting into trouble or suffering injustice there.
