Chapter 448: The Sorrow of Heavenly Dao, That One Tear_2
Heavenly Demon General showed a hint of surprise on his face after hearing Su Xing's words and glanced at the numerous cultivators still drinking present.
Then he called Su Xing aside, erected a barrier before asking:
"Speak, what is the matter?"
Su Xing nodded slightly, without further ado, directly said:
"Boss... I am your avatar from the Little Qingyun Realm in the Qingyun Realm, sent to seek you!"
"Avatar from the Little Qingyun Realm in the Qingyun Realm?"
Heavenly Demon General was puzzled after hearing this, then pondered for a moment, he seemed to indeed have such an avatar in the Little Qingyun Realm.
However, the avatar technique cultivated by Heavenly Demon General allowed him to create hundreds of avatars.
Moreover, that particular avatar was dispatched hundreds of thousands of years ago, so it was understandable he didn't react immediately.
After a moment's hesitation, Heavenly Demon General asked:
"So, what did the avatar ask you to seek me for?"
Upon hearing, Su Xing didn't hesitate, and directly revealed a hint of the Grand Witch Body Refining Decision aura in front of Heavenly Demon General.
Heavenly Demon General, feeling this familiar aura, was momentarily stunned, then scrutinized Su Xing carefully, unsurely said:
"You are... a descendant of the Luo Tian Sect?"
Upon saying this, Heavenly Demon General realized why Su Xing had come to him.
With a long and gentle sigh, Heavenly Demon General lamented:
"Who would have thought that after the annihilation of that lineage for millions of years... there would still be successors!"
"And quite an exceptional talent... you have the demeanor of that person from the past, with you, Luo Tian Sect restoration holds promise!"
Pausing, Heavenly Demon General thought of something, said:
"So... you are here for Ancestor Master Luo Tian's legacy?"
"Before Ancestor Master Luo Tian's demise, he entrusted me with certain items... and asked me, should descendants of Luo Tian appear, to hand over those items fully into their hands..."
"Originally, I thought there was no hope for this matter, yet millions of years later... there truly appeared a worthy descendant of Luo Tian!"
Heavenly Demon General scrutinized Su Xing carefully, remarked:
"Dual cultivation of Qi and body, advanced to late stage Golden Immortal... even has an exceptional grasp of space, Sword Dao, Dao of the Five Elements... moreover, ranked first in the terrestrial list for natural talent!"
"Even Ancestor Master Luo Tian back then, was no more than this..."
Su Xing's mood was somewhat tense just now.
After all, until a moment ago, Su Xing wasn't entirely sure of Heavenly Demon General's attitude towards Luo Tian Legacy.
Now, hearing Heavenly Demon General's words, Su Xing was almost certain that Heavenly Demon General and Ancestor Master Luo Tian were aligned on the same front...
Even if not all goals were identical, at least they weren't enemies.
Otherwise, right now the Heavenly Demon General could easily have captured Su Xing to seize the Luo Tian Legacy.
Therefore, Su Xing emboldened himself to ask:
"Boss, what exactly did Ancestor Master Luo Tian leave for his descendants?"
Upon hearing these words, Heavenly Demon General looked deeply at Su Xing, then sighed and said:
"Before I tell you the answer... accompany me to a few places first!"
After saying this, Heavenly Demon General casually tore a rift open in the void, once half entering, he beckoned for Su Xing to follow.
Seeing this, Su Xing's eyelids twitched.
He clearly saw that the Heavenly Demon General, in opening this void fissure, did not utilize any spatial power and the action relied solely... on pure physical strength!
...
Moments later, Su Xing followed Heavenly Demon General through the void passage, reaching a peculiar area.
"Hmm? This world..."
Su Xing, upon stepping into this area, knitted his brows tightly, his heart inexplicably stirred with emotion.
After refining heart and becoming immortal, it's the first time Su Xing felt emotions like "sadness", "wrath"...
It was quite bizarre, an immortal's mind state is resilient and not easily affected.
Especially... being affected by emotions upon first entering a certain world.
After carefully sensing for a while, Su Xing's gaze grew solemn, eyes showing a trace of compassion.
It's not Su Xing who is sad...
It's this world!
"It is... the Heavenly Dao of the entire Heavenly Demon Territory, immersed in sorrow..."
"Here, one can easily perceive the sorrow of the Heavenly Dao! Much more distinctly than in other regions!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, having already made a conjecture in his heart.
The Heavenly Demon General closed his eyes slightly, sensing the faint sorrow within this space.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, a rare hint of compassion appearing in them, and turned back to Su Xing:
"You feel it too, don't you?"
"The cry... from the Heavenly Demon Territory!"
Saying that, the Heavenly Demon General pointed toward a direction in the Void.
Su Xing looked with curiosity, his gaze piercing through the endless Void...
And saw a peculiar... tear!
It was a large, crystalline tear...
Shaped like a droplet, entirely suspended in the Void.
"That is... the tear of the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Demon Territory... also the source of everything now!"
Looking at that crystalline tear in the Void, the Heavenly Demon General's eyes flashed with limitless reminiscence, sorrow, compassion, and... regret!
Su Xing remained silent, listening to the recollections of the Heavenly Demon General beside him.
"With your comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth... you should have sensed the sorrow within the Heavenly Demon Territory earlier, right?"
"Why... is the Heavenly Demon Territory different from the Heavenly Secrets Domain and Qingyun Realm? Why... do we hate the Foreign Race so much?"
At this, the Heavenly Demon General sighed and said:
"Because... the Heavenly Demon Territory, is where the Foreign Race invaded the Five Major Domains of the Three Thousand Worlds, their starting point!"
Hearing this, Su Xing's heart skipped a beat; indeed, his inner speculations were confirmed!
Thus, the hatred all cultivators in the Heavenly Demon Territory hold towards the Foreign Race, the sorrow of the Heavenly Dao in the Heavenly Demon Territory... everything is explained!
By his ears, came the somewhat weathered voice of the Heavenly Demon General.
"Thirteen million years ago... a strange passage was born in the core of the Heavenly Demon Territory, the very location you saw."
"All cultivators were unaware of its birth, nor did they know whence it came..."
"Until a cultivator discovered, a terrifying new race appeared in the Cultivation World."
"They are bloodthirsty, cruel, feeding on the flesh of Human Race cultivators, devouring to strengthen themselves!"
"They are wild, fearsome, consuming everything in sight, indiscriminately attacking all living beings in the Cultivation World..."
"At that time, it was the end of the Ancient Times, with the separation of Cultivation World from the Lower Realm... cultivators across the ten domains crazily contending for resources, seeking the path to immortality."
"At that time, it was an age of chaos, countless heroes and prodigies arose... also countless immortals and sects waging war."
"That battle of the Cultivation World, lasting millions of years... led to devastation, countless cultivators perished, and countless sects and cultivators rose!"
"It was due to this chaotic battle, that the top experts of the Human Race focused their attention on other top-tier sects... and failed to notice this suddenly emerging race..."
"It was also this great war that provided the Foreign Race the best nourishment and development space for respite..."
"Yet when the battle ended... and the Cultivation World began addressing the Foreign Race, everything was already too late!"
At this point, a hint of regret appeared in the Heavenly Demon General's eyes.
"When the Cultivation World realized... everything was already too late!"
"The growth system of the Foreign Race is entirely different from our cultivators... and they require no long years of cultivation, they seem to be... the darlings of Heaven and Earth!"
"As if they exist... specifically to replace our Human Race..."
"During that epic war, the Foreign Race began to frantically develop, swallowing countless small worlds."
"And they possess a unique mastery over the Void..."
"To us cultivators, the Void is akin to poison, but to the Foreign Race, it is like water to fish..."
"Thus, they spread through the Cultivation World like a virus... Heavenly Demon Territory, Qingyun Realm, Luotian Domain... Heavenly Secrets Domain!"
"After that battle, the remaining Five Major Domains were all ravaged by the Foreign Race."
"Especially... the Luotian Domain suffered the most!"
"After that battle thirteen million years ago, the Ancestor Master of Luo Tian Sect led the entire sect with seventy-two Taiyi Golden Immortals and hundreds of Golden Immortals, emerging as an unmatched force in the Three Thousand Worlds!"
"And Ancestor Master Luotian was a remarkable woman... With just a million years of cultivation, she ascended amongst the top Great Luo, wielding mastery over the 'Spirit Realm'."
"Following that war, other top forces were severely weakened, silently licking their wounds... Luo Tian Sect, however, forcefully unified the Luotian Domain."
"Becoming the leading force in the Three Thousand Worlds... there came a time with an air of all immortals coming to pay homage..."
