"Friend, are you satisfied now?"
The elder in white sighed, his emotions were complex and hard to understand.
"Of course," Ling Xian said softly.
"Okay, then can I ask you for one thing?" The elder in white asked.
Ling Xian frowned. After a moment of silence, he said, "Speak."
"I hope you can fix the demon sealing array."
The elder in white's expression turned serious and he said in a low voice, "The reason why I haven't fought against you is because you are far too powerful and I don't think I am your opponent. Also, I hope you can lend me a hand."
"Fixing the array …"
Remembering that the demonic energy was much denser than before, Ling Xian frowned, "The demon sealing array is about to fail?"
"Most of them are fine, but five of them are on the verge of collapsing."
"And these five formations just happen to be the most important main formations."
"Once they collapse, it will create a chain reaction that will cause all the other arrays to collapse."
The elder in white's expression was bitter. Everyone here felt the same way.
The fact that the array was about to break was no secret in the city. Everyone knew about it and they were all worried.
"In other words, disaster is right around the corner."
Ling Xian frowned. He didn't think the situation would be this serious.
"That's right. If nobody fixes the array, within three years, all the demons will break out." The elder sighed.
"Speaking of demons, I have something to ask." Ling Xian squinted his eyes.
"Please speak." The elder was polite.
He had no choice but to be polite. Ling Xian was the only one who had the ability to solve this crisis, so he had to treat him with respect!
"I want to know …"
Ling Xian paused and suddenly flapped around his sleeve. He set up an array that blocked out spiritual energy and hearing. Then, he continued, "The demons here, do they refer to demonic cultivators or foreign demons?"
Hearing this, the elder's pupils constricted and he fell into silence.
Seeing this, Ling Xian understood, "It seems like my guess was correct."
"That's right. The demons here are foreign demons."
The elder gave Ling Xian a long look, "Not just the Demon Defending City. Most of the demons that are sealed here are the ones from the outside world."
"History is the biggest lie." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, full of sarcasm.
History clearly recorded that the foreign demons had been completely destroyed. But in reality, the foreign demons were still alive and well. If this wasn't a lie, what was?
That was a huge lie!
"You can't blame the person who wrote history."
"The reason why I told such a big lie was because I didn't want the world to live in fear."
"I haven't experienced that era, but from the ancient books, I know how difficult it was for people to live."
"Even the depths of hell and fire and the endless abyss are not enough to explain everything."
"Therefore, in order to let the people of the world live an easy life, the leaders of that time could only choose to lie."
The white-clothed old man let out a long sigh.
"That is understandable. But living in peace may not be a good thing," Ling Xian said softly.
"You're right. That's why this lie is only targeted at living beings with low cultivation bases."
The elder stared at Ling Xian, "When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one will have the right to know the truth. Like me, like you."
"After being forced to leave the Demon Suppressing City, I came to a world called the Black Tortoise Continent."
Ling Xian reminisced, "There, I experienced a war. A war against the sky demons."
"What?!"
The white-clothed elder gasped. Then, his expression turned serious and he asked in a low voice, "Are you telling the truth?"
"What good would I get from lying to you?" Ling Xian said softly.
It was obvious that the elder knew the truth. This was why he told this to Ling Xian in hopes that he would be prepared.
After all, the sky demons cannot only attack one world. Sooner or later, the Demon Suppressing City will face the same fate.
"Nothing."
The elder bitterly smiled and his brows tightened, "I cannot believe the sky demons started another war."
"Can you tell me everything you know?" Ling Xian asked softly, hoping to learn more secrets from the elder.
"I …" The elder hesitated.
"If you don't tell me, then I refuse to fix the array," Ling Xian said coldly.
"Okay. I don't know much myself."
The old man shook his head with a bitter smile. "I only know that the Extraterrestrial Demons have existed throughout history. Most of the turmoil is related to the Extraterrestrial Demons."
"So, the chaos 30,000 years ago was also caused by the sky demons?" Ling Xian's spirit was lifted.
"I cannot be sure."
The elder in white shook his head, "I can only be sure that there are no traces of the sky demons in any of the universes. There are no abnormalities."
"If there are no abnormalities, then why can't anyone ascend? Why was Planet Yongxian split in half? "Ling Xian frowned.
"I don't know either." The elder in white sighed helplessly.
At this, Ling Xian sighed as well and asked, "Other than that, do you know the goal of the sky demons? Where did they come from? "
"Another universe."
The elder's expression was serious and he was in disbelief.
Ling Xian found it hard to believe as well.
Even though he had some guesses based on the difference in spiritual energy, after hearing the elder's words, his heart was still in turmoil.
Finding out that Planet Yongxian was only one of the countless planets in the universe was shocking enough. Now that he found out there was another universe, he found it hard to accept.
"Hard to accept, right? My expression back then was the same as yours. Even now, I still find it hard to believe."
The elder's expression was serious and he said in a low voice, "But this is the truth. The undeniable truth."
"What … is the other universe like?" Ling Xian asked after a moment of silence.
"Only God knows."
The elder sighed, "Perhaps people have been there, but there are no records."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was silent for a while and asked, "What's the goal? What is the goal of the sky demons? "
"No one knows. However, one thing is certain. Once the Extraterrestrial Demons succeed, our universe will disappear. Completely and utterly disappear."
The elder said in a low voice, "This is why there is no peace between us and the sky demons. We will fight to the death."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's brows tightly locked together. He really couldn't figure out what kind of goal would cause the universe to disappear.
"I suggest you stop wasting your brain. This is a mystery. At least, it is right now."
The elder brandished his hand and mumbled to himself, "Maybe one day, all mysteries will be solved and the truth will be revealed."
"I believe that day will come."
Ling Xian's gaze turned determined. Though he didn't know the goal of the sky demons, one thing was for sure.
Throughout history, the majority of wars were caused by the sky demons.
In other words, they were the biggest enemies and they would fight to the death.
What Ling Xian could do was increase his capabilities and make himself strong enough to deal with all situations!
"Okay, let's get back to business."
The elder's expression turned serious, "Are you willing to help us?"
"Of course. As a part of the universe, I will not refuse."
Ling Xian nodded softly, "Let's go. Take me to the five main arrays."
