"This person's cultivation is extraordinary. He must have reached the peak, and he deliberately hides himself. If he doesn't make a move, it's hard for us to determine his identity." The Tianhe disciple reported.
Although it was hard to determine his identity, there were still clues.
The seventeenth stage of Martial Arts was the peak. The eighteenth stage was the peak.
Even in the holy lands of Martial Arts like the Ancient God or the Tianhe, such masters were rare. Most of them were famous in the mortal world, and they knew each other's strength.
Especially the peak of the eighteenth stage. Most of the time, there were only four or five people in each holy land, and they were the pillars of the sect.
It wasn't easy for an expert of this level to hide his identity. Everyone had more or less guessed it by using the elimination method.
However, the situation of the Ancient God was a little special in recent years. The rise and fall of people was strange.
While Chen Luoyang rose strangely, there was also the fall of "Sunset King" Zheng Chi and the others.
Not to mention the outside world, even the Ancient God was a little dazzled.
The original Hierarch Jiang Yi disappeared, the Hierarch position was changed, and Chen Luoyang became the new Hierarch. The Ancient God was even more mysterious.
The relationship between the Tianhe and the Ancient God was more subtle.
Although they were not old enemies like Blood River, the relationship between the two sides could not be called harmonious.
The Ancient God, Chen Luoyang, became enemies with the Tianhe because of the Twelve Netherworld Swords. He killed many people of the Tianhe, and the two sides were full of hatred.
However, in the battle between the Tianhe and the Blood River last year, the Ancient God stood on the side of the Tianhe, and they worked together to kill the Blood River Patriarch.
Since then, the grudges between the two sides seemed to be temporarily put aside, as they had more urgent enemies to deal with. However, it did not mean that the two holy lands had turned hostility into friendship.
Now that the Tianhe was facing consecutive tribulations, it was a sensitive time. Someone suddenly came to the Ancient God. What was the intention?
Who was the person, or who did he represent?
What was the matter?
The people of the Tianhe did not dare to be negligent. When the old Sword Immortal returned, the disciples reported it immediately.
"Where's the letter?" The elderly Sword Immortal asked calmly with an indiscernible expression.
The disciples immediately worshipped him.
After skimming through it, the old Sword Immortal pondered for a moment before instructing his disciples, "Take two Tranquil Incense sticks and light them on Xiangxin Peak in the southwest of Eastern Zhou. If this person visits again, bring him to see I directly."
At the end of the letter was the other party's contact information.
Following this method, that person would naturally visit the Heavenly River Mountain Gate again.
After receiving the order from their Great Ancestor, the disciples of the Sky River Sect immediately left.
The old Sword Immortal returned to the Heavenly River Mountain Gate and recuperated.
Three days later, a disciple came to report that the guest had come again.
To prevent others from being alarmed, the visitor was quietly brought to the old Sword Immortal.
His entire body was shrouded in a cloak, making it difficult for others to see through him.
That cloak was obviously a unique treasure that could help him conceal himself.
Previously, when the people in the Milky Way found out that he was an Ancient God, it was very likely that he had intentionally revealed it.
However, in the eyes of the elderly Sword Immortal, the cloak's concealment effect was very poor.
"He Sen?"
The elderly Sword Immortal's expression did not change as he looked at the figure in front of him.
The other party raised his hand and took off the cloak, revealing a man's face. He looked thin and his gaze was intimidating.
His appearance wasn't unfamiliar to the entire Mortal World.
He was one of the four Grand Elders of the Ancient God's eighteenth realm, "Total Darkness" He Sen.
In recent years, his reputation had been somewhat low, but that was because he was in seclusion and had not been out in the mortal world for a long time.
However, to some of the older people in the mortal world, He Sen was no stranger.
The Sky-Stealing Sun-Shifting Art was infamous.
And Elder He was one of the few people in the current era who knew the Sky-Stealing Sun-Shifting Art in the Ancient God.
Of course, this Ancient God Elder was also a junior to the old Sword Immortal.
However, the old Sword Immortal had heard of his name and deeds and had seen his portrait. Hence, he recognized him at a glance after seeing through the cloak's concealment.
However, the middle-aged man in front of him smiled slightly. "I've embarrassed myself by meeting Elder Yun in this state."
When the old Sword Immortal heard that, his heart suddenly stirred.
He was not familiar with He Sen.
However, the other party's smile and expression gave him a sense of deja vu.
Connecting this to the other party's first words, the old Sword Immortal felt that something was amiss.
"Last year, it was all thanks to Elder Yun for passing Mister Destiny's relic to me. I am deeply grateful." The middle-aged man smiled gently.
The old Sword Immortal sized him up. "… Jiang Yi, Hierarch Jiang?"
"He Sen" smiled and shook his head. "That's me. However, I dare not claim the title of Hierarch. I had an accident previously, and the Ancient God has a new Hierarch now."
The news of Chen Luoyang turning the tide and forcing the Savage Tribe King to retreat, and succeeding as the Devil religion's new Hierarch had now spread throughout the mortal world.
The Heavenly River even received a courtesy invitation from the Ancient God, inviting the upper echelons of the Heavenly River to attend Hierarch Chen's inauguration ceremony.
However, the entire Heavenly River was burdened with debts, so they did not have the time to consider it.
However, the old Sword Immortal had never expected that he would reunite with Jiang Yi in such a manner.
Previously, he had received news that Jiang Yi had pretended to be in seclusion but had secretly left. His whereabouts were unknown, and the Savage Tribe King was nowhere to be found.
Now, the entire Ancient God was still searching for his whereabouts.
The news of Elder He Sen's disappearance had yet to spread on a large scale in the mortal world. Most people thought that he was still in seclusion.
"You have taken over He Sen's body?"
Although he asked this question, the old Sword Immortal did not immediately believe the "He Sen" in front of him.
Chen Luoyang had also been present when Mister Destiny's relic had been found.
Although Chen Luoyang might not have known the truth, it was hard to say to what extent he knew.
The person in front of him could still be the real He Sen, who had come under Chen Luoyang's orders.
The old Sword Immortal did not make a rash conclusion before figuring out the other party's movements. He only observed silently.
'He Sen' seemed to know what the old Sword Immortal was thinking. He smiled and said, "Although there is a huge threat like the Yuan Demon Sect Returning Stone, I'm afraid I would not have had the chance to linger on and meet Elder Yun again if not for my extraordinary spiritual talent."
The old Sword Immortal finally believed that the person in front of him had already been replaced by Jiang Yi of the past after hearing about the Yuan Demon Sect Returning Stone.
To Jiang Yi, the abnormal trembling of his Heavenly Soul and the fact that it might be restrained by a treasure like the Yuan Demon Sect Returning Stone was a secret that concerned his life.
No matter how close he was to Chen Luoyang, he could not divulge this matter.
"What exactly happened to bring you to this stage?"
Although he had confirmed that this person was Jiang Yi, the old Sword Immortal's tone was calm.
He naturally rejected the idea of taking over someone else's body.
However, his intuition told him that Jiang Yi's visit today was of great importance.
"Green Bull Temple's Temple Master Yu and Black Water Palace's Palace Master Ling offended a Supremacy and were punished by a Supremacy. That is why we ended up like this." Jiang Yi said, "As I said earlier, I was barely able to borrow a body to be reborn because of my special Spirit. However, I had to recuperate for almost a year before I recovered some Yuan Qi and was able to move about freely."
The old Sword Immortal's snow-white eyebrows twitched when he heard this. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
Jiang Yi did not rush him. Instead, he sat opposite the old Sword Immortal quietly.
Slowly, the old Sword Immortal spoke after a while. "Since you've left your life behind, it's truly a cause for celebration. You should cherish what you have now. Why have you suddenly come to I's place?"
Jiang Yi's usual gentle and refined smile appeared on "He Sen"'s face. "Elder Yun, you already have your suspicions. Why don't you speak frankly?
Yes, my rebirth technique should not have been able to fool a Supremacy.
Rather than saying that my Spirit is exceptionally talented, it's more accurate to say that the Supremacy was kind enough to let me off and not pursue the matter further. "
"You are obviously an understanding person." The old Sword Immortal shook his head gently. "However, why did you have to anger a Supremacy back then?"
Jiang Yi asked in return, "Elder Yun, you probably have the same guess as me now, right?"
He looked straight into the old Sword Immortal's eyes. "Perhaps he did not perish, but the Supremacy was no longer in the Mortal World. Someone was impersonating him in that dark grotto-heaven."
The old Sword Immortal's gaze was as calm as water. He calmly met Jiang Yi's gaze. "Let's not talk about what happened when we first met the Supremacy. Just by looking at what happened to you now, doesn't it already negate your guess?"
"No, it just happens to confirm my original guess." Jiang Yi's gaze was faint. "As for me being able to live until now, it's not because the so-called Supremacy was kind enough to let me off and not pursue the matter any further. It's more likely because he did not notice my background at that time."
The old Sword Immortal frowned.
Jiang Yi continued. "For me to be able to deceive him back then, it means that it was either not the Supremacy himself, or the Supremacy was seriously injured and his body was unwell."
He let out a long breath. "Although he still possesses extremely powerful strength, he is lacking in other aspects."
"Based on what?" the old Sword Immortal asked.
"If it was a real Supremacy, or a Supremacy with normal eyesight, he would be able to see the real reason for my soul's peculiarity." Jiang Yi's gaze was a little complicated. "If that was the case, he would not have let me off so easily."
The old Sword Immortal understood what he was implying. "The real reason … You're saying that your Heavenly Soul trembled not naturally, but because of someone else?"
Jiang Yi's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence. He smiled tiredly. "Although my understanding of that person is still very limited, I believe that she is a Netherworld God."
"Netherworld God …" The old Sword Immortal looked at Jiang Yi and did not say a word.
What Jiang Yi said might not be entirely true.
Who knew if his Heavenly Soul trembled because of the Netherworld God's attack, or if he himself was the so-called Netherworld God?
But the old Sword Immortal, who had been active in the Mortal World for thousands of years, was very clear about the Demon Venerable's attitude towards the Netherworld God.
If Jiang Yi was really related to the Netherworld God, the Demon Venerable would not have let him off so easily.
However, this was only Jiang Yi's side of the story …
As the old Sword Immortal pondered, Jiang Yi sighed with a smile. "It's not just about the Netherworld God. Speaking of which, I'm inclined to believe that he is not the real Supremacy. Otherwise, with his eyesight, he should have been able to recognize me."
"… Recognize you?" The old Sword Immortal once again noticed her strange choice of words.
