After coming out of the auction house, Yi Tian walked around the city a few times before coming to the archives of Twilight City. Much of the information that Dugu Yaoxiang had told him was widely circulated in the Devil Realm. However, he hadn't even figured it out. Yi Tian fully realized his lack of knowledge.
He reckoned that the Great Thunder Temple's travelogues had missed out a lot of key information. If this continued, he would only become more and more passive in the Devil Realm.
It was better for him to personally understand a lot of information, such as the history of the various races in the Devil Realm. Previously, Dugu Yaoxiang had mentioned the relationship between the Heavenly Devil Clan and the other races, which made him feel that he had a lot to learn from it. With the knowledge of Concubine Yan and the others, they probably hadn't fully come into contact with the entire Devil Realm. Or perhaps they were content to stay in a corner and didn't need to know more about other things.
However, he was different. At least for now, it seemed that Monk Jie Ding had come to the Devil Realm 15,000 years ago, and Evil Buddha had come 10,000 years earlier. If he didn't figure out the intricacies of this matter, it might affect his future actions.
After entering the archives, a service staff came up to greet him. After seeing his cultivation, they respectfully led him to a side room. Yi Tian stated his request that he needed to read all the ancient records left in the archives of Twilight City.
These words gave the attendants quite a fright. Afterwards, they had to pay a thousand high-grade magicite stones to rent a private room. In addition, four other service staff came back and forth with 30 jade slips. After copying them, they handed them over.
After putting away the jade slips, Yi Tian gave a simple order, closed the door, sat down, and began to read slowly.
These jade slips were comprehensive. They recorded the changes in the Devil Realm in detail in the past 100,000 years. After reading them, Yi Tian realized that Dugu Yaoxiang was right. During the Middle Ages of the Devil Realm 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, all the races had submitted to the Heavenly Devil Clan.
In the Devil Realm, only the Heavenly Devil Race had Grand Ascension Stage cultivators. Unlike the other realms, the Heavenly Devil Race had seized all the resources of this realm and forced the cultivators of the various races under their command to look for resources elsewhere.
Following the ascension of the original Grand Ascension Stage cultivator, the Elder Devil Realm fell into a state of chaos once more. Due to the absence of a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator in the Sky Demon Race, the Elder Devil Realm was unable to suppress the various powerful branches under its command.
After a long time, it led to the War of Division in the Devil World. After that war, all the races suffered great losses. The nine races that split from the Heaven Devil Race and the Heaven Devil Imperial Race fought for nearly ten thousand years.
In the end, the three clans submitted to the six clans and became independent. At the same time, the Celestial Devil Imperial Family lost nearly half of their strength. After the great war fifty thousand years ago, the current situation of the Devil Realm was basically established.
For example, the Infernal Prison Devils were the leader of the nine opposing races, and their strength came from the fact that they had inherited about thirty percent of the Sky Demon Race's arts. For example, the Infernal Fiend Body Spell Art that he had obtained from Yan Long was originally derived from the Heavenly Devil True Body Spell Art. In addition, it was a simplified version of the Infernal Prison Devils' own characteristics.
In terms of combat prowess, it was not inferior to the Heavenly Devil True Body in the slightest. On top of that, the drawbacks brought about by the lack of bloodline power and devilish origin power were negated. In a battle between cultivators below the Body Integration Stage, it could firmly suppress cultivators who cultivated the Heavenly Devil True Body.
However, everything had its pros and cons. In the later stages of this cultivation art, he would still have to return to his original state. The true power of the Heavenly Devil True Body could only be displayed after he reached the Body Integration Stage with the Heavenly Devil Eye and the Heavenly Devil Illusionary Body.
Upon seeing this, Yi Tian fell into deep thought. He had the Heavenly Devil Eye Technique and the Heavenly Devil Transformation Spell Art on hand, but both of them were incomplete. The Heavenly Devil Eye Technique was missing the final move, while the Heavenly Devil Transformation Spell Art only had six layers. Now, it was impossible for him to switch to this technique, but the Heavenly Devil Eye Technique had the same effect on the other techniques. If he could find the final move, Scorching Sun, it would be very effective.
Then, he continued to read according to the chronology of the Devil World. Finally, he saw the first appearance of Evil Buddha in the historical records from forty thousand years ago. This person was originally a Body Integration Stage cultivator from the Great Snow Mountain Ming Lun Temple in the Buddha World. Because he was trapped in the bottleneck of the Body Integration Stage for nearly eight thousand years, he took the risk to go to the Devil World.
Later on, for some reason, he merged the Buddhist and Devil Dao techniques through the Devil Qi Body and achieved the state of Devil and Buddha as one. Now, there was another force that could not be ignored in the Devil World. The Heavenly Devil Clan Leader invited him to be a guest elder.
After a thousand years, the two of them broke through the bottleneck and reached the Mahayana Stage. Twenty thousand years later, for some unknown reason, Evil Buddha returned to the Buddha World. When he returned, he disappeared in the depths of the Devil World with a body full of scars.
As for the five disciples under him, after reaching the Body Integration Stage, they gradually faded out of the sight of the Devil World.
During this time, Monk Jie Ding ventured into the Devil World. However, he also accepted the infusion of devilish origin and became the third Mahayana Stage cultivator in the history of the Devil World.
Then, 9,000 years ago, he mobilized the elites of the various races to force open a passageway to another world. On the other side of the passageway was the Spirit Realm.
Yi Tian heaved a faint sigh upon seeing this. Thinking back, the Sacred Demon Crown Prince Qiu Yu had led the devilish forces to invade the Spirit Realm only because there were too many people in the Devil World at the time, and the distribution of resources could not keep up with the expenditure.
At the time, it was clear that the Sacred Demon Crown Prince Qiu Yu had led the devilish forces into the Spirit Realm purely for the sake of attrition. Furthermore, with Qiu Yu's Mahayana Stage cultivation base at the time, it would've been a simple task for him to forcibly open a passageway to return to the Devil World.
However, he did not do that. Instead, he fought the three patriarchs to the very end, and he even unleashed a reincarnation technique to completely disappear between heaven and earth.
Looking at the records, Qiu Yu had mobilized only half of the soldiers of the various races aside from the Heavenly Devil Race, so he had most likely reached an agreement with the Mahayana Stage cultivators of the Heavenly Devil Race to find a group of sacrificial pawns to make up for the numbers. As for the other races, they had only mobilized their elite forces, and this was naturally an attempt to forcefully suppress their opponents in order to maintain the Heavenly Devil Race's absolute dominance in the Devil World.
Yi Tian couldn't help but sigh upon reading this. It was clear that the Mahayana Stage cultivators of the Heavenly Devil Race had learned a lesson from 10,000 years ago to come up with such a plan. However, wasn't it a little too much to sacrifice a Mahayana Stage cultivator like Qiu Yu?
One had to realize that the Mahayana Stage cultivators of every realm were all top-tier beings, and if they were to be sacrificed, they would most likely be invaded by other realms. Yi Tian couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation, but there were still many suspicious points in this matter. At the very least, there was no mention of the fallen spirit seed in these records, and Qiu Yu's motives were also very intriguing.
