Rebirth of the Supre Chapter 659 - Divided Struggle

Chapter 659 - Divided Struggle

Edited by: Molly

Esteed Lan Yue ran away from ho many years ago because of his disagreent with the prophet family, and he never returned to the prophet family again for many years. However, he still maintained friendship with the family’s disciples and juniors. The prophet family also regretted the decision it made back then and even hoped Esteed Lan Yue could return to the family. Therefore, when Esteed Lan Yue invited the prophet family, the current family head agreed to it without any hesitation and even ca in person.

The elder who divined fate and foretold that the first heir would be born in the Xuan clan back in the old days had already died, and many Yin family disciples who protected him during that divination were still in closed-door cultivation as they tried to neutralize the backlash they suffered back then. The prophet family was nowhere near as powerful as before. Besides Esteed Lan Yue, the strongest in the clan was the current family head, Yin Changque. But it was rumored that Yin Changque wasn’t truly a mber of the Yin family; he was rely adopted by the family and didn’t know any divination. However, he was very accomplished with Daoist techniques and could fight very well.

That they chose Yin Changque as family head showed that the Yin family severely lacked talents and was now in a state of decline. In such a situation, it didn’t matter whether the family head knew how to divine soone’s fate.

The most important thing was to protect the Yin family’s foundations and roots.

When Lin Xuanzhi arrived, he stood at the door and heard a voice that could be called cold. It was neither servile nor overbearing as it argued strongly, “...obstinately defending the astrology platform to the death and refusing to use it. The astrology platform is only an item. It exists in the world because it has value in being used. Its value is for our prophet family to activate it to divine the celestial bodies in the sky to see the future of the Nine Lands for the sake of the people’s well-being.”

“But every ti the astrology platform is activated, it will waste manpower and resources. Who can afford to spend ten thousand pounds of spirit stones? And who would be willing to lose half of their entire cultivation in order to divine fate?”

The speaker was an elder who managed the astrology platform. He continued angrily, “Besides, the last ti you activated the astrology platform, you caused turmoil in the Nine Lands. What bullshit first heir? Until now, did that one in the East Land’s Xuan clan even have an egg, let alone a son?”

Lin Xuanzhi, “...”

Seriously, the actions your prophet family took weren’t entirely good. If I was Sovereign Xuan, I would’ve sent troops to destroy your prophet family a long ti ago.

“The Nine Lands are very peaceful right now. There’s no need for your prophet family to be a hindrance here at all!”

Hai Kuanglang pushed open the door.

Lin Xuanzhi then went in, and the originally noisy voices suddenly fell silent. Many pairs of eyes all turned towards the door.

Lin Xuanzhi swept past, but his heart was full of joy. Fuyao Sect’s Sect Master and all of its core disciples were here, while several respectable elders from the prophet family also ca. As for Myriad Dao Academy’s side, besides the three Hall Masters, elders, and four courtyard deans, even the First Elder, who was in seclusion and never ca out, also sat here today.

Although the Nine Lands’ rulers had never dared to have much involvent with Myriad Dao Academy, the Southeast Land’s Divination Emperor was a special case. The Yin family had always valued harmony and possessed the unique talent of divination. Even Myriad Dao Academy still needed to cooperate with the Yin family when necessary. But right now, Myriad Dao Academy was not polite.

The people allied with Myriad Dao Academy and Esteed Lan Yue sat on opposite sides, separated by a wide long walkway in the middle. The situation was tense, as if they were about to draw their swords at any second.

When he saw Lin Xuanzhi, Sword Saint Tianshu got up first and looked like they’d been saved. He said, “Hall Master has finally returned. I’m not good at this. It’s better for the Hall Master to make a decision on behalf of my Sword God Hall.”

Before Lin Xuanzhi had ti to respond, he heard Wan Yitong slap the table and say, “Decide what? Huarong Sword Immortal is part of our Fuyao Sect, so he should be on our side!”

Yuheng blinked. “How can you say that? Since when did Huarong Sword Immortal have anything to do with your Fuyao Sect?”

Wan Yitong gave a Hmph. “Lin Huarong is one of my Fuyao Sect’s elders, and before he ca to your Myriad Dao Academy, he was already part of Fuyao Sect. Everything is on a first co, first serve basis.”

Tianshu coughed lightly. “We’ll talk about this matter later. Huarong Sword Immortal, long ti no see. Is everything alright?”

Lin Xuanzhi finally got a chance to speak and ca forward, bowing to Myriad Dao Academy’s First Elder and Fuyao Sect’s Esteed Lan Yue respectively. “When Huarong rushed over from the Royal Heavenly Capital, he saw an evil spirit flying out of the ground. The evil spirit looks like a human being, and its cultivation is extrely high. I couldn’t catch up to it, even with my fastest speed. I wonder if Esteed Lan Yue ca for this matter?”

When Esteed Lan Yue heard this, his eyes sank. “The events in the Royal Heavenly Capital have beco known all over the world now. However, besides the Royal Heavenly Capital, evil Qi and demonic Qi also appeared in the ruins of Youshan. On that day, I had already tried to divine it, but I found that evil Qi had gathered from the Northeast Land. When I attempted to find out where that evil Qi was going, I suddenly sensed a feeling of my divination being countered — if an evil Qi cultivator really did appear, then his cultivation would surely be above mine.”

As soon as these words ca out, there was a mont of silence in the hall. Then Tianshu frowned. “How can the appearance of an evil Qi cultivator counter your divination? Esteed Lan Yue, why didn’t you ntion this before?”

Esteed Lan Yue said nonchalantly, “Don’t tell

that I’ll be allowed to activate the astrology platform if I say this? Since you all are determined to wait until Huarong Sword Immortal returns before making a decision, why should I waste my breath before he cos back?”

Lin Xuanzhi, however, could hear that Esteed Lan Yue was annoyed by Myriad Dao Academy’s strong refusal to activate the astrology platform these days, so although he sounded polite, his words contained thorns and he did not give face. However, Esteed Lan Yue had this right.

Just from the fact that he could judge that the evil spirit that appeared was very likely to be an evil Qi cultivator, this showed that the secrets of heaven he’d mastered were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Lin Xuanzhi cald down and added, “In my opinion, it is indeed an evil Qi cultivator.”

Soone gasped.

This gasp was particularly prominent in the whole hall, where even a pin drop could be heard. Several pairs of eyes uniformly fell on the face of Esteed Fu Ye, the elder in charge of the astrology platform. He was very old, and he was one of the few remaining guardian elders in Myriad Dao Academy.

The so-called guardian elders naturally didn’t manage ordinary affairs. They would only co out and take charge when the sect faced a life and death crisis. The status of guardian elders was much higher than that of anyone in the three halls and four courtyards. Nobody knew how high their Dao attainnts were, but everyone knew that as long as Myriad Dao Academy’s guardian elders still existed, the sect would never die.

After Esteed Fu Ye’s gasp, his face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, with a clear solemn expression. He took a deep breath and asked gravely, “Lan Yue, Huarong, how sure are you that the evil spirit is an evil Qi cultivator?”

“Nine tis out of ten.”

“I’m absolutely certain; there’s no doubt about it.”

The two spoke at the sa ti.

Esteed Lan Yue’s words still had so reservations, but Lin Xuanzhi basically guaranteed it. Even so, it was already enough to help Esteed Fu Ye realize exactly what kind of thing had erged from the ground.

Esteed Fu Ye’s face paled, and his beard trembled a few tis.

The people in the hall couldn’t help feeling a little surprised when they saw his terrible expression. At the sa ti, they also felt sowhat apprehensive. What was an evil Qi cultivator?

Looking at Esteed Fu Ye’s expression, it seed to be a terrifying thing.

The atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

A mont later, Esteed Fu Ye said slowly, “Do you know what evil Qi cultivators signify to the Nine Lands? Do you have any evidence? You can’t talk nonsense about this, otherwise there will be chaos.”

Lin Xuanzhi understood sothing.

Esteed Fu Ye’s attitude had already shown that he indeed knew a lot about evil Qi cultivators and understood what made them so terrifying, which made things easier. Otherwise, Myriad Dao Academy probably wouldn’t be willing to activate the astrology platform.

Esteed Lan Yue said, “When divining, the spiritual light will flash once and disappear. Naturally, it will leave a clear, cloudless sky and won’t leave any traces. If you want to keep the evidence, I’m afraid that isn’t possible. However, I have never told a single lie in my life, and I never joke about important events that concern the survival of the Nine Lands. Please trust . If it is not necessary, I am also unwilling to damage my own Dao attainnts for this.”

Esteed Fu Ye once again beca lost in thought.

A mont later, soone couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly is an evil Qi cultivator? I only know about evil spirits, evil Qi, and Fiends, but I didn’t know that there’s actually sothing called ‘evil Qi cultivator’ in this world.”

Wan Miantang lowered his eyes and speculated, “The difference between spiritual Qi cultivators and demonic Qi cultivators lies only in the different Qi refined inside the body. If you infer from this, then evil Qi cultivators should be those who cultivate using evil Qi.”

Lin Xuanzhi was still impartially standing on the wide walkway in the middle, as he had always been neutral.

“Dean Wan is right.” Lin Xuanzhi explained, “Evil Qi cultivators’ essence is that of a cultivator, but it’s normal for everyone to be unaware of them, since it’s extrely rare to encounter them in the Nine Lands. Evil Qi cultivators are far more powerful than evil spirits. They are nourished by evil Qi and can absorb other evil spirits’ evil Qi and cultivation in order to consolidate their own cultivation, which is why everywhere they go, vegetation will wither, the land will beco uninhabitable, beasts will let out mournful wails until death, and human beings will shed tears of sorrow. These humans will hate and grieve for a long ti, and they may even descend into madness.”

It was extrely difficult to beco an evil Qi cultivator, but once such a being appears, they would beco an unstoppable monster capable of destroying gods, demons, and humans. For example, Youshan Lingyu back then was definitely the psychological shadow of all the cultivators of that era.

Lin Xuanzhi’s description inevitably made people feel terrified. However, Sword Saint Yaoguang thought that the words were a little exaggerated and funny. He couldn’t help laughing and saying, “If what you say is true, then won’t evil Qi cultivators be able to control the emotions of all living beings? But the human heart is clearly the hardest to control. Besides terrible curses and dicinal pills, I haven’t heard of any way to control the human heart.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “It’s just like how you’ve never heard of evil Qi cultivators before.”

“But how can soone cultivate evil Qi?” Wan Miantang was also puzzled. “Evil Qi is the most filthy and vile existence in the world. It’s impossible for anyone to cultivate it.”

“In this world, soone has indeed dual-cultivated demonic Qi and evil Qi.” Lin Xuanzhi looked at Wan Miantang. “The Great Immortal-Demon War ten thousand years ago was caused by him.”

Everyone was shocked.

This was getting more and more unbelievable.

Everyone here had heard of the Great Immortal-Demon War and had read many records and scripts about it. They admired those ancient powerhouses and sighed with emotion at the war that almost destroyed mountains and rivers and sank the sun and moon. However, those gods fell to the demon clan. When were evil Qi cultivators ever ntioned?

“Huarong Sword Immortal, I’ve lived for a long ti and have heard my clan mbers ntion the Great Immortal-Demon War ever since I was young. But I only know that all the evil originated from the Demon Emperor Youshan. Where were evil Qi cultivators ntioned?” An elder who grew up in an aristocratic family asked.

Sword Saint Tianshu, however, looked around with heavy eyes. He slowly replied, “All the records you’ve read so far about the Great Immortal-Demon War, be they official records or legends, all originated from my Rong family’s records.”
