Chapter 75 - Secrets

The same time as Yang Tian was feeling down, at the Shrouded Continent, inside the Devil Sect's headquarters, Liao Mei was presenting the Blood Devil Sword to the Devil Sect's Sect Leader. The Sect Leader received the sword and said with an elated yet shaking voice:

- I have waited for this day for a long, long time. Finally, the Blood Devil Sword is in my hands.

They have discovered the Blood Devil Sword for a long time ago but back then its devilish qi was completely drained. After waiting for a long time for the Blood Devil Sword to recover, on the eve of their success, Yang Tian appeared and stole the sword from them. Luckily, the Blood Devil Sword eventually returned to them.

- Mei-er, you've done well this time. Whatever reward you want, name it. I will give it to you.

Liao Mei wasn't shy at all and said:

- I want the Hundred Ghosts Spell.

The Hundred Ghosts Spell was one of Devil Sect's three great arts. Only the Sect Leader had the authority to learn it. No matter how big Liao Mei's contribution was, she wouldn't be allowed to learn it. Yet the Devil Sect's Sect Leader was very generous and gave Liao Mei a black crystal:

- This is the Hundred Ghosts Spell's mantra. After you are done studying it, the crystal will self destruct. Alright, you may leave.

Liao Mei bowed and then left, feeling very strange inside. How could the Sect Leader have agreed to her demand so easily. There was definitely something wrong with this so she must be more careful.

The Devil Sect's Sect Leader looked at Liao Mei leaving and said softly:

- Don't think that you can slip from my control just because you learned the Hundred Ghosts Spell. Your time is almost up so enjoy it while you can.

- Since the Blood Devil Sword is now in my possession, it's time to revive the Blood God's soul fragment.

The Devil Sect's Sect Leader held the Blood Devil Sword and sliced open his other hand. His fresh blood shot straight into a statue of the Devil God. The statue glowed with a bloody light. He then produced a formation array and arranged it around the Devil God statue.

Afterwards the  Devil Sect's Sect Leader produced a lot of devilish gems and threw it into the formation array. He discharged a wave of devilish qi into the array to activate it. Immediately a pillar of devilish qi attempted to shoot up into the sky but was stopped by the array. The blood light was getting more and more intense and the devilish qi was being continuously absorbed into the Devil God statue.

The statue suddenly opened its eyes and attempted to move its hands before 3 hexagon-shaped formation that emanated presence of purity appeared. The dense devilish qi was being pushed back step by step. The Devil Sect's Sect Leader muttered:

- Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak, you've sealed our god for so long, it's time to pay the price.

As he said that, the Blood Devil Sword in his hand flew towards the Devil God statue. The statue's eyes blazed with blood light and it took hold of the Blood Devil Sword. It then sliced down towards the formation arrays. Small cracks began to appear on the three hexagon formation and then the cracks spread like a spider web. A, eerie laugh can be heard emanating from the statue as it continued to chop down on the formations once more.

The arrays immediately shattered and disappeared into thin air. The devilish qi as well as the pure presence disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place. Cracks began to appear on the Devil God statue and the statue was instantly shattered to pieces. A soul fragment flew out from the Devil God statue and looked towards the Devil Sect's Sect Leader:

- You've outdone yourself this time.

The Sect Leader bowed respectfully:

- My Lord Blood God, I've only done what must be done. Your physical body...

The Blood God sneered coldly:

- After being sealed for so long, my physical body have already been destroyed. But no matter, my main body had foresaw this and have prepared a very suitable replacement body for me. I'll go retrieved now and soon I'll be back to my peak. No, I would definitely be far more powerful than before.

- Then I wish Lord Blood God many success. I have prepared ample devilish qi for you. Do you want...

The Blood God waved his hand:

- I still don't have a body currently so I can't absorb too much devilish qi. We can wait until I get my body back.

- Another thing my Lord, recently a stranger claiming to be the Shrouded Continent's Guardian have appeared. His cultivation have likely reached Nascent Soul.

The Blood God was startled:

- Impossible. My main body has once said that the heavenly dao of this world was critically lacking and Cultivators here could never reach Nascent Soul.

- I've heard that this is because he had received his clan's legacy. But what kind of legacy that can help someone directly reach Nascent Soul. It is truly strange.

- Could it possibly be Soul Transferance Grand Spell. If it was something like that then it's not out of the realm of possibility. It matters not in the end. Someone that used the Soul Transference Grand Spell will forever be stopped at early Nascent Soul. As long as I recover, I can kill him whenever I want. You need not worry.

The Blood God said this and then disappeared. The Devil Sect's Sect Leader then said solemnly:

- Liao Mei, it seemed I must let you live a bit longer.

- Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak, wait until the Blood God restore his power then I'll see how arrogant you can still be.

- And of course the Shrouded Continent's Guardian. You have delayed my grand plan so there will definitely something left for you.

More than a thousand years ago after the supreme cultivator cleaved off part of the Cultivation World to escape, he had massacred many people to cure his injuries. During that massacre almost all of the Nascent Soul Cultivators were wiped out. Because that supreme cultivator was burning for vengeance, he quickly returned to his world once his injuries were healed. He only left a Nascent Soul clone behind to continue his killing and elevate his cultivation. Yang Tian's family was also massacred by that supreme cultivator leaving him the sole survivor.

Luckily, though no one knew what kind of secret arts they performed, the Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak was able to preserved several of their Nascent Soul Cultivators. That year they declared a great war with the Devil Sect, leading to the complete annihilation of all the Devil Sect's Nascent Soul Cultivators as well as the sealing of the Blood God. Although they emerged victorious, the Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak paid a huge price and was left with only one Nascent Soul Cultivator. Not only that, he was also heavily injured and had never appeared since.

From then on, the Devil Sect had always been wary of the Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak. Even though he was heavily injured, a Nascent Soul Cultivator wasn't something Golden Core Cultivators like them can underestimate. Only after a thousand years could the Hidden Dragon Island and the Nan Gong Clan rise up and stepped into the ranks of the four great powers. Yet for the Devil Sect, their true enemy was only the Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak. They can completely disregard the other two powers.

That supreme cultivator had seemingly predicted that the Blood God would be sealed so he had prepared some stuff for him in advance. The place that housed Blood God's new body was the cave that Ye Wen Tian got his treasures. Everything there was a front to conceal the body.

If the Blood God once again regained his body, he can begin to perform blood sacrifices. Through that process, his cultivation would not only be restored but also advance rapidly. At that time, even the if Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak had recovered from injuries, he would still stand no chance.

That supreme cultivator had predicted correctly and planned accordingly. But no matter how meticulous his planning was, there would still be errors. This time his error was Yang Tian. Although Yang Tian at that time didn't have any cultivation, he was set on the path of a True Immortal and even if that supreme cultivator was even more powerful, he still couldn't have plan for that. The True Immortal's Path was nigh impossible to predict.

The Shrouded Continent and Earth was about to experience a great crisis. At this time, the only person that could easily resolve that crisis had his head deep into his video game. Yang Tian had just registered for the Pantheon event. With his skill and his character's battle power, Yang Tian was sure that he would get the Supreme God Godhood.
