And this Blood God Crystal was merely the beginning of the dispute between him and Song 'Stressed by a Mountain of Books' Shuhang.

After that, he schemed against Song Shuhang several times, trying to take back the Blood God Crystal… but all of his schemes ended in failure. It seemed that every time he failed, it was because of 'bad luck', but looking back now, he did always get the feeling that there was something off. This was because Song Shuhang's strength was gravely inconsistent with what was stated in the reports he was getting.

It was then that he began to doubt Song Shuhang's 'true strength', and he wondered if the other party was a senior who was pretending to be weak. In this world, there were many seniors who didn't have the best of personalities. After all, cultivators weren't holy beings without desires, and there were many whose wills remained firm even if they took delight in evil.

A few months later, the other party suddenly showed his divinity and became the 'first Sage in 1,000 years' without any warning, acquiring the Sage name Tyrannical Song.

At that moment, Young Master Hai had made up his mind to stop scheming against Song Shuhang and no longer contact the other party—he at least wanted to avoid any more conflict before he became a Profound Sage himself.

If he couldn't fight the other party, couldn't he just hide?

Moreover, after he ascended to the Fifth Stage, he wanted to take the initiative to join the 'great plan' of the Limitless Demon Sect to achieve his goal.

However, the world keeps changing whether you want it or not.

He didn't want to contact Song Shuhang, but the other party would always forcibly appear in his life in unexpected ways.

"I've only spent half a year closed up and already broke into the Fifth Stage Realm. That was pretty short." Young Master Hai let out a long sigh.

To ascend to the Fifth Stage and condense eight dragon patterns after just half a year was already considered to be 'fast' in the world of cultivation.

But in such a short period of time, Tyrannical Song showed his divinity thrice, appearing once every month in the past few months. He was even more punctual than a caring aunt.

Young Master Hai felt that his will was about to collapse.

Young Master Hai stood on the meteoroid, leaning against his sword.

Behind him, two black-clothed puppets appeared, cleaning up the aftermath of the tribulation for him, removing the great tribulation-transcension formation, and putting away the demonic god pillars.

Anzhi was caught… Profound Sage Tyrannical Song's next target might be me, Young Master Hai thought.

Perhaps for people at Tyrannical Song's level, a Spiritual Emperor who had just ascended to the Fifth Stage wasn't even worth considering as an enemy. There was a great possibility that the other party wouldn't deliberately come looking for him, and would only take him away if they encountered one another by chance.

However, Young Master Hai didn't dare to gamble his safety on the other side's mood.

Profound Sage Tyrannical Song has started moving. It seems that it would be best to give up on my current identity. Young Master Hai lowered his head, and looked at the detailed demon pattern on his right hand.

Soon after, he raised his head, regaining his self-confidence and returning to his scheming self.

Young Master Hai said softly, "It appears I'll have to get rid of this physical body, Young Master Hai's identity, as well as of those soul impurities."

Currently, he had no choice but to admit defeat to Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.

However, there was no knowing what might happen in the future.

He held the inheritance of the 'Demon Emperor' in his hand. After ascending to the Fifth Stage, he had finally activated this inheritance.

This was the inheritance of the mysterious Demon Emperor, someone from an incomparably ancient era. According to legends, that Demon Emperor had once competed for the position of 'Wielder of the Heaven's Will', fighting until the 'last step'.

And even when he failed to get the position, he hadn't gotten hunted down by the Wielder of the Will. Instead, he managed to escape, disappearing from the main world.

The inheritance of the 'Demon Emperor' suited him extremely well.

It was recorded in the inheritance that the Demon Emperor was someone exceptionally skilled in scheming. When he got his Fifth Stage golden core, he did not condense a heaven-defying nine-dragon-patterned golden core like those children of fate, but rather only condensed eight dragon patterns. However, even with only eight dragon patterns, he defied all odds, beheading several great enemies who had condensed nine dragon patterns, stepping onto his own path to immortality, and becoming the Great Demon Emperor. He erected demonic god pillars one after the other, getting all demons to submit to him. Wherever demonic god pillars were, it became the territory of the Demon Empire.

Young Master Hai and Demon Monarch Anzhi's 'Great Demonic God Pillar Formation' was something they obtained from the inheritance of the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor's personality, as well as his experiences, were very similar to his own.

Young Master Hai took out a glove and put it on, covering the demon pattern on his hand.

The more similar he was, the better he would be able to assimilate the Demon Emperor's inheritance. In the future, he would definitely step onto his own path to immortality with the help of the Demon Emperor's inheritance, and become the new Demon Emperor.

The Profound Sage Realm… was just a single stage in the long journey of cultivation.

The future was very long.

Temporary wins and losses were meaningless.

In the long term, ascending to the Ninth Stage first and stepping onto a path to immortality is more significant. Young Master Hai spread out his arms. After he thought of this, he felt that his will had become firmer.

The next step is to condense my life-bound demonic god pillar. Then… I'll return to the Limitless Demon Sect, join the great plan of the sect, get sufficient authority and resources out of it, and lay the foundation for my ascension to the Sixth Stage True Monarch Realm.

He was accustomed to taking one step while planning for the next three, taking everything into his own hands.

When I'll have condensed my demonic god pillar, I'll also have shed off my old body, as well as a portion of my soul impurities. At that time, I can refine my old physical body into a second body, and then transcend the tribulation. Young Master Hai began to form a series of plans in his mind.

He wasn't going to let himself die so easily.

At this time, the two puppets behind him had already gathered the tribulation-transcension formation, and completely erased any traces of Young Master Hai having ever been on this meteoroid.

"Let's go, it's time to return." Young Master Hai raised his foot, and took a step forward.

His flying sword came to life, and it took initiative to move under his feet, supporting his figure.

A smile broke out on his face.

This flying sword was connected to his life, and it even had extremely faint awareness to it.

Young Master Hai said, "Let's transform together."

He'd decided to cast his flying sword into a 'life-bound demonic god pillar'.

Who said that a 'demonic god pillar' had to look like a pillar? Why couldn't it be a sword-shaped pillar?

It would be a sword, but it would also be a demonic pillar.

Young Master Hai silently said in his mind, Receiving this inheritance doesn't mean that I have to blindly follow the path of the Demon Emperor. I must remain flexible so that I can step out onto my own path to immortality in the future.

The sword light flew up, disappearing into space.

The practitioners of the universe listened to the speech of the 11th Sage 'Profound Sage Spirit Butterfly' with a ravenous desire for more. At this moment, countless cultivators were frenziedly taking down notes.

The Profound Sage Speech couldn't be recorded. Under normal circumstances, cultivators would just write down most of the content, and then go back to study it slowly.

But this year, the Profound Sage Speeches had simply been occurring too frequently. Cultivators were afraid they would miss something if they didn't write down as much as they could.

After Venerable Spirit Butterfly finished his speech, the blessing of virtue from the universe descended on his body.

The power of virtue was abundant and beyond Venerable Spirit Butterfly's expectations.

Strange, although my speech was wonderful, isn't the amount of virtue that condensed a bit too much? Venerable Spirit Butterfly was puzzled.

The immense power of virtue condensed into the image of a giant butterfly behind him, directly entering the stage of 'virtue materialization'. The giant butterfly continued to solidify, and its body soon assumed the form of a human woman.

Fairy Lychee praised, "What a beautiful manifestation of virtue. Judging from its outline, it isn't any weaker than little friend Shuhang's lamia."

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber solemnly said, "I feel like… Senior Spirit Butterfly's daughter complex is out of control."

Although the appearance of the human woman the giant butterfly transformed into was still unclear, looking at her iconic long legs… It definitely took inspiration from Soft Feather.

…The Divinity Show and the Profound Sage Speech had already ended, so he no longer had to worry about Senior Spirit Butterfly hearing his words.

"My father isn't condensing me." Soft Feather grinned and denied Thrice Reckless' words. "It should be my mother."

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber had a sceptical expression on his face.

In the void, Venerable Spirit Butterfly's figure slowly faded away.

At this time, his mind was filled with thoughts.

The wave of virtue had simply been too great… It seemed as if it was worth the speech of multiple people.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly recalled the speech of his daughter and Song Shuhang. At the end of their speech, why did it seem as if Soft Feather and Song Shuhang did not receive any light of virtue?

In addition, when Soft Feather showed her divinity, she didn't become a 'Profound Sage', but rather an 'Ancient Sage'.

Could it be that the light of virtue generated by the speeches of Doudou, Soft Feather, and Song Shuhang did not dissipate and was instead all passed on to me? Venerable Spirit Butterfly pinched his chin.

He turned his head and looked behind him.

The embryonic form of his light of virtue, 'Butterfly Spirit', had been basically condensed. However, its face was still obscured, just as if it was wearing a mask.

"That's fine as well." Venerable Spirit Butterfly smiled slightly. Then, he left the 'Tribulation-Transcension Space', and returned to the main world.

As soon as he returned to the main world…

The practitioners of the universe all felt something in their hearts again.

A-another one?

Another Profound Sage is appearing? How many Eighth Stage big shots have appeared today?

Having been looking up at the sky for so long, their necks had gotten slightly sore.

While they were in thought, a cute little hamster appeared in everyone's eyes.

As soon as the little hamster appeared, its Sage Seal began condensing.

Sage Name: [Ancient Demon Ranzhen].

Once more, it was a new variety.

It sounded like an existence that corresponded to 'Ancient Sage'.

As soon as the Sage Name was displayed, № Hamster couldn't wait to start the speech—this was because it was afraid that if things dragged on for too long, it might forget the content of the manuscript that its master prepared for it.

While № Hamster's speech was ongoing…

In a distant place, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, Fairy Creation, and the old patriarch of the Dragon Blood Tribe appeared. They had sensed Song Shuhang's aura and rushed over.

The old patriarch generously welcomed everyone, and he invited them to rest in the Dragon Blood Tribe.

Soft Feather reached out and picked up Song Shuhang, who was unconscious.

At this time, Thrice Reckless suddenly transmitted his voice to her. [Soft Feather, when moving Shuhang, make sure to do it gently. If my guess is correct, he should have borne all of the mental pain that we should have in the 'Saint Space'.]
