After leaving the secluded place in the west of the Dobusei Subterranean, Zhao Ji had already come up with an excuse for his current cultivation base while he was on his way back to the Mystical Sky Mansion.
The Ancient Devil Beast's Inheritance!
This way, it would be logical for him to cultivate as a Devil Cultivator and would not be suspected.
Nobody would have thought it was because he had cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique that he was able to make a breakthrough from the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage to the Early Divine Saint Stage in less than two years!
"Ji 'er, when did you obtain the Ancient Devil Beast's Inheritance?"
Zhao Deng's expression turned solemn.
It was not that he had not heard of Ancient Legacies before. In the history of the Mystical Sky Mansion, there were also some records about Ancient Legacies and the transformation of those who had obtained the Ancient Legacies.
However, none of them were as exaggerated as his son!
In less than two years, he had broken through from the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage to the Early Divine Saint Stage. This cultivation speed was heaven-defying!
"A month after I left the Mystical Sky Mansion, I came across an Ancient Ruin. Father, do you think my cultivation base has risen too quickly?"
Zhao Ji asked as he reached the end of his explanation.
"Yes."
Zhao Deng nodded. "Your cultivation speed is comparable to Devil Cultivators who have cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique."
The Devouring Dark Devil Technique!
Upon hearing Zhao Deng's words, Zhao Ji felt slightly uneasy. However, he did not show it.
Although the person in front of him was his father, he did not dare to tell him that he had cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. This was because he knew his father would force him to disperse his cultivation if he found out that he had cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.
Not to mention in the Lower Province, even in the Upper Province, those who cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique were like rats crossing the street. Everyone wanted to beat them up.
As the only son of the Zhao Clan, whether it was his father or his grandfather, they would not allow him to take such a risk!
"Ji 'er!"
For some reason, Zhao Deng's expression turned solemn as he stared at Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji's heart jolted when he saw the sudden change in Zhao Deng's expression. 'Don't tell me father suspects I've cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique and not the Ancient Devil Beast's Inheritance?'
After all, he had a guilty conscience. It was no wonder that Zhao Ji would think that way.
However, Zhao Ji heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Deng's words. As it turned out, his father did not suspect him of cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.
"Ji 'er, tell me the truth … Since the inheritance that the Ancient Devil Beast left for you improved your cultivation base so quickly, it must've taken a shortcut as well! Don't tell me it's a heartless cultivation method like the Devouring Dark Devil Technique? "
These were Zhao Deng's exact words.
"If so, Father hopes that you can disperse the Demonic Technique that the Demonic Beast passed down to you … Father only has one son, you are our Zhao Family's only heir, you cannot take the risk!"
When Zhao Ji heard Zhao Deng's words, he secretly rejoiced that he did not reveal the truth.
"Father, don't worry … Although the cultivation method that the Ancient Devil Beast passed down to me is a little bloody, it's not targeted at humans. It's targeted at savage beasts! The more savage beasts I kill, the more hearts I obtain, and the faster my cultivation speed will be. "
"That's good."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Deng sighed in relief as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Father, where's grandfather?"
Zhao Ji wanted to look for his grandfather, Zhao Jin, but he discovered Zhao Jin was not around.
"Your grandfather and Guardian Gu left the Mystical Sky Mansion and went to the west to look for Zhu Lüqi," Zhao Deng replied.
"Father.
"Palace Master Zhu? Why are they looking for him? "
Zhao Ji pretended to be surprised and asked.
"Zhu Lüqi must've obtained the Devouring Dark Devil Technique that Xu Jing cultivated, and he has already begun to cultivate it. In the past two years, many people have died in the west. Those young women had their vital energy and blood devoured and turned into dried corpses," Zhao Deng said.
"Currently, Zhu Lüqi has become the public enemy in the Lower Province. All the quasi third-rate forces, including our Mystical Sky Mansion, have sent out powerhouses to search for him! Everyone is worried that if he continues to cultivate, he'll become like the Devil Cultivator who cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique! "
When Zhao Deng reached the end of his sentence, his expression was extremely solemn. "However, if Zhu Lüqi intends to hide, your grandfather and the others might not be able to find him!"
"Palace Master Zhu has cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique?!"
Zhao Ji was shocked. "It seems like he really doesn't care about anything in order to seek revenge. I wonder if Feng Bu Yi, the Deputy Leader of the Mountainshade Black Market, will be able to survive after being killed by him.
If Zhu Lüqi knows how to conceal himself and doesn't show himself before he raises his cultivation base, it'll be easier for him to kill Feng Bu Yi in a few years! "
Zhao Deng said confidently, "After all, he's cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique!"
Based on Zhao Deng's words, it was obvious he held the Devouring Dark Devil Technique in high regard.
Of course, while he was praising the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, his eyes were filled with fear.
A few days later, a piece of news entered the ears of Zhao Deng and his son.
"Ling Tian is leaving the Mystical Sky Mansion on his own? Father, is this news true? "
Zhao Ji asked excitedly as he looked at Zhao Deng.
"Yes."
Zhao Deng nodded. "Although I don't know where he's going, it's true that he's leaving. It's said that when he was chatting with Wang Fei Xuan, a disciple from our Zhao Clan overheard it."
"Haha … Good, good!"
Zhao Ji's eyes lit up when he learned that Duan Lingtian was leaving the Mystical Sky Mansion on his own. He was extremely excited.
In the past, he was not a match for Duan Lingtian and could only resign himself to it.
However, he was no longer the same as before. His cultivation base was at the Divine Saint Stage, and his strength was not inferior to Gu Li who was once the strongest person on the Mystical Sky Ranking!
In his opinion, with his current strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to kill Ling Tian.
"However, that brat from the Gu Clan has been contacting the Vice Mansion Masters who have a close relationship with his father and some elders. He's trying to monitor all the powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above in our Zhao Clan to prevent them from leaving the Mystical Sky Mansion!"
Zhao Deng said in a deep voice, "I really didn't expect that Ling Tian would be able to make Gu Li put in so much effort and use all of his father's connections. He's trying to stop all the powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above in our Zhao Clan from attacking Ling Tian after he leaves the Mystical Sky Mansion!"
"Monitoring all the powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above in our Zhao Clan?"
Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Zhao Deng's words. "Father, does that include you?"
"Yes."
Zhao Deng nodded. His expression was grave as he said, "His actions have undoubtedly conveyed a message. After two years, Ling Tian's strength has improved a lot. He's most likely not afraid of powerhouses below the Divine Saint Stage! Unfortunately, your grandfather isn't here. Otherwise, old man Gu's connections wouldn't be able to stop him from mobilizing powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above!
Currently, with Gu Li's actions, the powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above in our Zhao Clan won't even be able to leave the Mystical Sky Mansion, let alone attack Ling Tian! "
When Zhao Deng reached the end of his sentence, his expression turned even more grave. It was so grave that it seemed as though it could drip water at any moment.
"Father, up until now, I've only revealed the news of me breaking through to the Divine Saint Stage to you. You didn't tell anyone else, right?"
Zhao Ji asked as his eyes flashed fiercely.
"No, I didn't."
Zhao Deng instinctively shook his head in response. As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his gloomy face. "Ji 'er, how could I have forgotten about you?! You're currently at the Early Divine Saint Stage. Won't it be easy for you to kill Ling Tian? "
"Father, you finally remembered me!"
Zhao Ji smiled.
"Haha … That Gu Li, I'm afraid even in his dreams that there would be such a 'variable' like you! The powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above in our Zhao Clan that he has his eyes on aren't all of the powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above when your grandfather isn't here.
The smile on Zhao Deng's face turned even more radiant.
"Perhaps, in Gu Li's eyes, I'm still that insignificant Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator from two years ago, right?"
Zhao Ji said with a mocking smile.
"Isn't it better this way? Not only can we hide from him, but we can also catch him off guard. Ji 'er, I'll leave Ling Tian to you this time! Haven't you always wanted to kill him to avenge yourself? "
Zhao Ji asked.
"Don't worry, father. This time, Ling Tian will definitely die!"
Zhao Ji said coldly as his eyes flashed coldly.
"I believe in you. I'll wait for your good news!"
Zhao Ji nodded.
A few days went by. In the sky outside the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate, three figures stood on two sides.
On one side was a handsome young man.
On the other side, there was a muscular young man and a young woman with peerless beauty.
The former was Duan Lingtian.
The latter was Gu Li and Wang Fei Xuan.
"Are you really going to leave on your own?"
Wang Fei Xuan said with a worried expression on her face, "The people from the Zhao Clan are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid they'll chase after you and make a move on you as soon as you leave. It's not convenient for them to make a move on you in the Mystical Sky Mansion, but they won't have any qualms outside! "
"Don't worry. Senior Brother Gu Li has already made the arrangements. "
Duan Lingtian said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, you have to be careful. During the three days you're gone, those who are at the Divine Saint Stage or above from the Zhao Clan won't be able to leave the Mystical Sky Mansion at all!"
Gu Li said confidently.
Originally, he planned to leave with Duan Lingtian and head to the Azure Cloud Mansion before heading to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land together.
However, Duan Lingtian rejected him.
According to Duan Lingtian, even if Gu Li wanted to leave, he should inform his father, Gu Ci Yun, first.
Moreover, he would stay in the Azure Cloud Mansion for a while before heading to the Upper Province.
