Vol 3 Chapter 106: Ancient Mystery

Shen Song felt like he was still dreaming.

But once Lin Jing brought Senior Shen Song into the palace and explained in full how he had ended up in Qingzhou, Shen Song realized he really was dreaming.

"You’re telling me… you taught the Longevity Body demon girl raised by the Sky Lion Clan?"

"And then she smashed the Sky Lion Clan’s treasure vault and let countless treasures spill into the void?"

Shen Song’s face looked strange. Yep, definitely dreaming. No way all this was real—it was too much of a coincidence.

"Senior Shen Song, you're not dreaming."

"I really have become the Holy Son of the Demon Court. That mosquito woman sitting on the mountain peak outside? You must’ve seen her."

"And yes, the Transformation Technique was created through me. The alchemy event in Tongtian City—just ask any cultivator in Qingzhou, and they can rattle off every detail." Lin Jing smiled.

"I get that it’s hard to accept right now, but don’t worry, senior. Even though I now have His Majesty the Demon Emperor’s protection, even though I’ve become the Holy Son of the Demon Court, even though I personally killed nine Void Mystical cultivators… the Longevity Blood I promised you still counts. After all, your guidance and protection when passing down your arts meant more to me than anything."

"...."

What Shen Song found hardest to accept was: If all of this is true… doesn’t that mean the batch of resources I stumbled upon—the very ones that let me break through to the Void Mystical Stage early—were all thanks to this kid?

"Give me a moment to process this..."

Seeing Shen Song's overwhelmed expression, Lin Jing laughed. He’d long wanted to see this very look on Senior Shen Song's face.

He was surprised Shen Song had managed to break through to the Void Mystical Stage, sure—but clearly, everything he had done in Qingzhou felt even more fantastical from Shen Song’s perspective.

"Yeah, laugh it up, you little sh*t."

Mo Song, seeing Void Mystical Lin Jing giving off that “seventh-gen immortal” sort of relaxed vibe, wanted nothing more than to pour a bucket of cold water over him.

"His experience really is impressive," Mo Song muttered. "Getting the Demon Emperor’s backing means you can stop worrying for now. But… he’s getting happy too soon."

"He thinks just because he has the Demon Emperor’s protection, everything’s smooth sailing?"

"Hmm?" Lin Jing raised a brow. "Senior Shen Song, what’s he trying to say…?"

Without the Demon Emperor’s support, Lin Jing figured nothing in the Tianyuan Realm could really threaten him anymore. After all, the Demon Emperor’s power was definitely top-tier in the realm right now.

But something about Shen Song’s serious tone didn’t feel like a joke—Lin Jing suspected he was aiming at something deeper.

"You were transported to..."

Shen Song then finished recounting his own story prior to his arrival, not hiding the fact that he was the reincarnation of the Demonic Sky Sect Leader—a being from beyond this realm.

When Lin Jing finished listening, he fell completely silent.

"So… you’re a reincarnated soul, no longer affiliated with the Demonic Sky Sect."

"And from that remnant demon soul you encountered after its failed ascension, you learned a lot—including why people can’t ascend to the Upper Realm right now?!"

"What is it?!" Meng Da hadn’t paid much mind to Shen Song’s background—after all, he too was an outsider.

But the reason behind the blocked ascension path? That piqued his curiosity.

Even though he longed to reach the Immortal Realm, something this major had to be tied to a massive shift in the balance between realms!

"If you know the Demonic Sky Sect Leader was originally from another cultivation world, do you know what his purpose was in coming here?"

Meng Da shook his head.

Shen Song looked to the sky. "Just as the Tianyuan Realm is an affiliated territory beneath the Immortal Palace in the Upper Realm, the Demonic Sky Sect’s headquarters—the Demonic Sky World—is also a subordinate realm tied to a powerful demonic sect in the Immortal Realm."

"Countless years ago, the Demonic Sky Sect in the Immortal Realm gave birth to a terrifying Demon Lord with peerless talent and strength. Through a powerful divine technique, he severed the connections between the Immortal Realm’s factions and the Lower Realm, hoping to fuse the entire Lower Realm into one mega-world. His goal? Refine it into his own Dao simulation and break past his limits."

"But limited by the current heavenly laws, immortals couldn’t descend into the Lower Realm. So that Demon Lord had to rely on his sect’s forces in the Lower Realm to wage war and refine world after world."

"The Demonic Sky World is full of terrifying experts... thanks to the cross-realm arts passed down by the Demon Lord himself, they could easily travel to other worlds. Their sole mission: seize complete control over each target realm."

"Then you, senior..." Lin Jing looked toward Mo Song. "Given all this, your mission here in the Tianyuan Realm was—"

"Correct. I was supposed to conquer this realm as well. But as you can see, my past self was killed by the First Ancient Emperor, and I could only reincarnate into who I am now," said Shen Song.

Lin Jing: "..."

"And according to that demon soul remnant, if the Demonic Sky Sect agents dispatched to a realm fail to conquer it within the designated time, the sect will send even stronger cultivators to take over."

"In other words, when my past self was destroyed, that mission was considered a failure. The Demonic Sky Sect probably already knows, and who knows when they’ll dispatch a more terrifying force to re-invade the Tianyuan Realm."

"When that happens, forget about the Demon Emperor protecting you. She may not even be able to save herself. A Longevity Body like yours? That’s the first type of resource the Demonic Sky Sect collects whenever they invade a new world."

Lin Jing: ???

"Senior, you just got back and you’re already bringing news this awful?" Lin Jing rubbed his temples. He had just latched onto the Demon Emperor’s thick golden thigh!

"A pretty hopeless future, huh?" said Shen Song with a chuckle. "Especially for you."

"Crossing realms isn’t easy—it takes time. A thousand years, maybe ten thousand. For current cultivators in the Tianyuan Realm, they might die of old age before the next invasion even happens. But you—you’ll still be around when it comes."

Lin Jing exhaled deeply. "I know you’re telling me all this because you already have a plan to deal with it, right?"

"Heh." Shen Song grinned and pulled out a massive golden bell. "I did get some good stuff from that demon soul remnant."

"This here is a realm-tier treasure. Once activated, the cultivation world it’s used in will enter a ‘Golden Era’ for ten thousand years—immortal fortune will flourish, and prodigies will emerge like mushrooms after rain, even Immortal Physiques won’t be rare. But once those ten thousand years pass, the realm will fall into a ‘Post-Spiritual Age,’ where even reaching Nascent Soul will be near impossible. This treasure squeezes the world’s potential dry."

"With this, we might be able to massively boost the Tianyuan Realm’s strength in the near future—to fend off the Demonic Sky World’s invasion."

"But activating it requires at least ten Dao-Seeking Stage cultivators to power it at the same time. Now that you’re the Holy Son of the Demon Court, you should consider offering this to the Demon Emperor—see if she can gather enough people to juice up the Tianyuan Realm."

Lin Jing was stunned, and looked at Senior Shen Song. "But wait—if you’re technically a cultivator from the Demonic Sky World, why are you standing firmly on the side of the Tianyuan Realm and fighting back against the sect?"

Shen Song replied, "Heh. During my breakthrough to the Void Mystical Stage, I saw fragments of my past life. Turns out I wasn’t originally from the Demonic Sky World—I was taken from another realm during an invasion, brainwashed, and trained into a genius."

"But my race is… special. I was never fully brainwashed. And for the whole mission, I just went through the motions. The Demonic Sky Sect conquered my hometown and still expected me to work for them? As if I’d go along with that crap."
