The chaos caused by the Demonic Calamity that lasted for hundreds of years finally came to an end. In the end, the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's Zheng Tingyun led many Spirit Realm cultivators to launch a counterattack on the Demonic Race and successfully drove the invading Demonic Race back to the Demonic World. According to the Spirit Realm Chronicles, both the Spirit Realm and Demonic Race suffered great losses in this battle. More than ten Body Integration cultivators died.
However, the Demonic Race took up 70% of the casualties. As for the Spirit Cultivator Alliance, other than the Realm Gate's original guardian, Absolute Saber Song Li, who died in a fierce battle with Dugu Chenglong of the Heaven Devil Race, Li Huo Palace's Ceng Shun also died in this battle. As for the Feiyu Kenshū Sect, they also lost an early-stage Body Integration cultivator. Sheng Zhuangxiong, on the other hand, was fine.
The Taiqing Pavilion's Body Integration cultivator did not die. As a result, the overall strength of the three sects changed again. The Li Fire Sect, which was originally the strongest, fell to second place. On the surface, the Taiqing Pavilion's strength increased again. With four Body Integration cultivators, they became the new number one sect in the Spirit Realm.
In the following operation to eliminate the remaining Demonic Cultivator forces, the Taiqing Pavilion's cultivator Zhong Liangsu led a thorough search of the area occupied by the Demonic Calamity. They were determined to dig out all the Demonic Race cultivators that were hiding.
With a Body Integration cultivator taking action, this operation naturally went very smoothly. The Demonic Race cultivators that were dug out were not all killed. The Spirit Cultivator Alliance's Zheng Tingyun opened a passage between the two realms and sent most of the Demonic Race cultivators back. Only the vicious ones were left to be killed on the spot.
It seemed like the Demonic Calamity battle had re-divided the Spirit Realm's three sects. However, many people with discerning eyes noticed that during the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's counterattack, there was not a single late-stage Body Integration cultivator among the Demonic Race cultivators. The leader was not the Heaven Devil Race cultivator who always ran amok. Instead, it was Yan Lei of the Infernal Prison Demonic Race.
Finally, he led a large group of people to board the Sky-Patrolling Battleship and leave through the spatial gap between the two realms. If not for the Sky-Patrolling Battleship being small, there would be even fewer Demonic Race cultivators left behind.
At the same time, at the last stop of the Demonic Disaster, there was a situation of chaos among the internal forces of the Demonic Race. Under the leadership of the Dark Night Demon Race, the Abyss Demon Race, the Flying Rakshasa Race, and even some of the Infernal Hell Demon Race had abandoned their defensive positions and retreated first.
Without receiving orders from the Infernal Prison Emperor Uncle Yan Lei, the four armies actually forced their way through the realm gap and retreated first. As such, when Zheng Tingyun led her forces to launch a counterattack, they encountered far less resistance than they had anticipated. Furthermore, there were several battleships filled with devilish cultivators from the rear of the devilish territory. The ones in the lead were a few Formation Masters from the Heavenly Fiend Clan and Yan Tong from the Infernal Prison Fiend Clan. Along the way, the Spirit Cultivators gave them a wide berth and did not have any intention of stopping them.
However, these details were all gossip. The upper echelons of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance did not mention them, nor did they write them down in the Spirit World Chronicles.
As for the mysterious new Sect Master of the Mythical Flame Palace in the Spirit World, he did not appear in any official records. However, in the upper echelons of the Spirit World, there were rumors that he was the one who dealt with the high-ranking devilish cultivators who invaded.
It was just that the Lifire Palace remained silent about this matter. Even their spokesperson, Hua Yuxin, kept her mouth shut about this matter. However, in the numerous meetings of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance, even the Alliance Master, Zheng Tingyun, treated her courteously and discussed everything with her. As for the other Unity Stage cultivators, they treated her as equals.
This way, it was as if the rumors were confirmed. However, the Mythical Flame Palace was still very ambiguous about this matter and did not express any clear stance.
After the war, Yi Tian returned to the Mythical Flame Sect once again. At this time, a new batch of core forces had emerged in the sect after the Demonic Disaster. Among the Spirit Severing Stage cultivators, other than Cheng Bufan, there were several rising stars who had successfully broken through to the Spirit Severing Stage.
The sect was still managed by Han Liu. During the Demonic Disaster, they had lost one of the two elders of the Mythical Flame Sect, Ceng Shun. And hundreds of years ago, the Mythical Flame Sect's Sect Master, Ji Xuanyuan, had entered the cycle of reincarnation. As such, the Mythical Flame Palace's Unity Stage cultivators had been reduced by half. In the eyes of the outside world, the Mythical Flame Palace's strength had been greatly reduced.
In addition, Yi Tian had always lived in seclusion and never appeared in public. Hence, the outside world's impression of him was stuck at Zheng Tingyun's level.
Sitting cross-legged in the Mythical Flame Palace's main hall, Yi Tian and Han Liu sat opposite each other. Below them were the four Spirit Severing Stage disciples of the sect. Among these people, other than Cheng Bufan, this was the first time they were meeting the new Sect Master. Naturally, they were filled with respect and wanted to leave a good impression in front of the new Sect Master.
Yi Tian did not put on any airs. He told Han Liu about the situation he encountered in the Blood Sacrifice Valley. When the disciples below heard this, they were filled with fear. They did not dare to say anything to disturb him.
When Han Liu heard this, he said with a sigh, "I never expected that Demonic Sage Bao Luo and Great Skyfiend Dugu Jimo had no choice but to use their spatial abilities to hide in the valley after Ning RuiLin self-destructed."
However, Yi Tian shook his head helplessly and said, "Ning RuiLin sure is scheming. His dying body made me owe him a huge favor."
"Junior Brother, don't fret. If it were me, I would have done the same." Han Liu said with a sigh, "Ning RuiLin doesn't have much of his lifespan left. Using his life to exchange for the Netherworld Empire's future is naturally a very good deal."
"Back then, it was an unintentional mistake. I used a small scheme in the Fey world to nurture the two princes separately." Yi Tian said, "It looks like Ning RuiLin saw something from Qin Huaige, so he made such a decision. Furthermore, he had previously met me in Luo Xia City. Back then, he had already hinted to me, but I did not pay much attention to it."
"This time, no matter what, Ning RuiLin sacrificed his life to save Junior Brother." Han Liu said, "It seems that you will have another burden in the future."
"Yes, if I don't solve this matter, I will always feel guilty in my heart." Yi Tian thought for a while, then turned around and said to the four disciples below, "This time, I have a mission for you to do. It may delay you for a thousand years."
As soon as he finished speaking, the four people who sat down had already realized this possible mission. Among them, Cheng Bufan said, "Disciple is familiar with the situation in the Fey world. I'm willing to go."
However, Han Liu said, "Bufan is the first disciple of the Lihuo Palace in the Spirit Severing stage. Your reputation is out there. If you go to the Nine Immortal Mountain, you will inevitably attract unwanted attention."
After the remaining three people looked at each other, the person standing at the end hurriedly stood up and said, "Disciple Sun Xin is willing to take on this heavy responsibility to share the sect master's burden."
Yi Tian glanced at Sun Xin and found that this person had just entered the initial stage of the Spirit Severing stage. Now, he had only cultivated the initial stage of the sixth level of the Lihuo Nine Transformations. In terms of potential, he was far from Chi Wuji in the past. Even compared to the first disciple of the Spirit Severing stage, Cheng Bufan, he was still lacking.
