Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh when she thought about Lord Zhaoling's disdain for the demons of the Underworld and how she had become someone like one.
Nie Chen's expression was furious. He thought that Jiujiu would empathize with him and condemn the hypocrites of the Heavenly Realm. He didn't expect Jiujiu to laugh out loud. Nie Chen glared at Jiujiu. "Are you laughing at me?"
"No, I'm laughing at those Heavenly Lords." Jiujiu tilted her head and stared at Nie Chen. His face wasn't bad, but it was filled with hostility.
Jiujiu said regretfully, "Is the leader of the Heavenly Realm still Lord Zhaoling?"
Nie Chen didn't believe Jiujiu's words. However, Jiujiu's next sentence made Nie Chen's expression change.
Nie Chen only knew about Lord Zhaoling after he ascended. However, Jiujiu directly said that he was the leader of the Heavenly Realm. No matter how much Nie Chen deceived himself, he couldn't believe that this was just a coincidence.
Nie Chen asked, "Who are you?"
"Me!" Jiujiu smiled. "I'm Jiujiu now, but they used to call me Liusu."
Lord Dongyuan was a taboo in the Heavenly Realm. Nie Chen, a cultivator who had just ascended, naturally didn't know about it.
However, he had heard the name 'Liusu' from a disciple of the Blackheaven Sect. It was said that she was the Dao partner of the Blackheaven Sect's ancestor. Later, the Blackheaven Sect's ancestor ascended and took Liusu with him to the Heavenly Realm. Later, a Heavenly Lord descended to the mortal world. In order to protect the Blackheaven Sect, Liusu perished together with the Heavenly Lord. The people of the Blackheaven Sect guessed that the ancestor and Liusu had met with misfortune.
However, they didn't expect that tens of thousands of years later, someone would call herself Liusu.
Nie Chen asked Mo Chen to bring Jiujiu here because he liked Jiujiu's talent.
With Jiujiu's cultivation speed, he would be able to ascend to the Heaven Realm in less than a hundred years. At that time, Jiujiu would cooperate with him, and they would definitely be able to kill Lord Zhaoling.
He didn't expect Jiujiu to be Liusu. Nie Chen's eyes were instantly filled with fear when he saw her.
"Are you really Liusu?"
Although he was already somewhat convinced, Nie Chen still couldn't help but ask again.
After all, the matter between Liusu and the Black Sky Sect's great ancestor had been a matter of hundreds of thousands of years. It was inevitable that there would be mistakes if word of mouth spread.
"Is there a second Liusu in this world?" Jiujiu stepped forward and sat on the seat of honor, looking down from above. His chin was raised high, and his face was full of arrogance. Even though Nie Chen had worshipped Jiujiu after his ascension, he still couldn't resist Jiujiu's pressure.
Nie Chen's knees went soft uncontrollably, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
To be able to suppress him as a Nascent Soul cultivator, she really was Liusu.
Nie Chen kowtowed and said in a sobbing voice, "Junior Nie Chen greets Old Senior."
Mo Chen, who had brought Jiujiu in, was a little stunned when she saw how things were going. She looked at Jiujiu in a daze. She didn't expect her to be the great ancestor of the cultivation world. She thought she was a genius of the cultivation world, but she didn't expect her to be the great ancestor of the cultivation world.
Jiujiu calmly accepted Nie Chen's kowtow and raised her hand slightly. "Get up."
Only then did Nie Chen stand up and go to Jiujiu's side. He whispered his experience in the Heavenly Realm all these years.
It turned out that after the battle with Su Ling, Lord Zhaoling was seriously injured. The Immortal Dew's effect was too strong, and the injured Lord Zhaoling's body couldn't withstand the Immortal Dew's power. He could only slowly recover.
Later, when he saw cultivators ascending from the Mortal Realm, he had the idea of using the Immortal Dew to supplement the Immortal Dew.
In the beginning, Lord Zhaoling only absorbed the cultivators' cultivation to repair his body. However, after his body was repaired, he got used to the feeling of his cultivation rapidly increasing. He continued to do things his own way and absorbed the cultivators' cultivation. Later on, he even refined the cultivators' cultivation into pills and gave them to the other Heavenly Monarchs.
The other Heavenly Monarchs received benefits from Lord Zhaoling and became more and more silent. Lord Zhaoling's actions became more and more rampant.
There were so many cultivators ascending from the Mortal Realm these years. A small portion of them went to Lord Origin, but most of them were sucked dry by Lord Zhaoling. There were only two cultivators who weren't sucked dry by Lord Zhaoling. One was a demonic cultivator. Lord Zhaoling kept him because he had a special cultivation method. The other was brainwashed by Lord Zhaoling and became his slave. He helped Lord Zhaoling kill the cultivators of the Mortal Realm.
As for Nie Chen, he was tricked by that cultivator and was almost sucked dry by Lord Zhaoling.
Jiujiu suddenly thought of the pitiful number of bodies in Lord Origin's body.
She originally thought that most of them were killed by the demonic aura in the clouds. Now, it seemed that there might be other secrets in the clouds. It was just that she didn't have the chance to verify it.
Nie Chen continued with red eyes. "If not for my Dao partner protecting me with her life, I would have become a pill in Lord Zhaoling's stomach …"
But in order to protect him, his Dao partner …
Nie Chen thought of his Dao partner who had lived with him for tens of thousands of years. She didn't die in the hands of the demonic cultivators. Instead, she died in the hands of Lord Zhaoling. Nie Chen's eyes turned a piercing red. He faintly showed signs of turning into a demon.
Nie Chen looked at Jiujiu who was sitting at the head of the table. "As long as you can kill Lord Zhaoling, I'm willing to do anything."
Jiujiu sneered. "I'm not Lord Zhaoling. Why would I want to kill you?"
"As long as you can help me take revenge, even if you end up like Lord Zhaoling …"
Nie Chen didn't finish his sentence, but Jiujiu guessed what he wanted to say.
Jiujiu narrowed her eyes and sneered. "I don't need to rely on other people's spiritual energy to recover my strength?"
Absorbing other people's energy was a demonic cultivator's way of doing things. She didn't need to and disdained to do so.
On the other hand, when Lord Zhaoling killed her and Lord Dongyuan, he repeatedly said that they were demonic cultivators. He said that they shouldn't teach humans cultivation methods. Humans were the most lowly species in the world and couldn't be compared to them.
She didn't expect that in such a short time, he would rely on cultivators from the human world to cultivate. What a slap in the face.
However, Jiujiu wouldn't be surprised if someone could pull out a Heavenly Lord's immortal bone and turn him into a demon.
Instead, it was Nie Chen.
Jiujiu looked at him coldly. "Are you threatening me?"
Jiujiu saw through Nie Chen's intentions, but he didn't feel guilty. He just knelt and said, "I wouldn't dare. It's just that Lord Zhaoling's actions are so extreme and unscrupulous. You're the Blackheaven Sect's Patriarch. How can you tolerate him harming juniors in the cultivation world?"
"Naturally, I'll settle the score with him slowly. But why did you set up that cave there?"
The strange effect of that cave was no different from that of a demonic cultivator.
Did he want to change his profession and become a demonic cultivator?
Nie Chen looked embarrassed when Jiujiu asked.
There weren't many geniuses in the cultivation world. The most powerful ones were only Wu Che and Jian Che.
However, both of them had cold personalities. Even if he told them the truth about the Heavenly Realm, they might not be interested. Otherwise, they wouldn't have remained in the human world for thousands of years without ascending. Therefore, he wanted to use the cave's source to lure them out. He wanted to increase his strength so that he could fight Lord Zhaoling and take revenge on him.
As for finding Jiujiu, it was only because Jiujiu was one of the only two people to complete the Immortal Ascension Stairs after the Blackheaven Sect was founded. Therefore, he wanted Jiujiu to be on his side from the beginning.
