The boundless eternal night pervades between heaven and earth, as if trying to devour everything in the world.
Xiahou Shou stands on the terrace of a pavilion, gazing into the unfathomable night, his eyes as cold as millennia-old ice.
"Just one step away..."
He is unwilling.
Just that little difference, and the Human Clan would be buried by his own hand, but who could have thought the Second Prince would have such a move?
Even if he is willing to perish together with the Human Clan, the other Demon Clan mbers don't want that, nor does the Ancient Divine Punishnt.
Even if he welcos the arrival of the Ancient Master to the eternal night in the future, the Ancient Master would surely reclaim his arm and the Ancient Divine Punishnt, and by then, he might not have the power to exact revenge by himself.
In that case, he could only ask the Ancient Master for help.
If he could personally wipe out the Human Clan, it would naturally be the best.
"Ancient Divine Punishnt."
Xiahou Shou suddenly flips his hand and takes out that black scepter.
The artifact spirit of the Ancient Divine Punishnt erges gracefully, looks at him indifferently and says, "Why? Still thinking about destroying Great Yong? Give up, without my power, relying only on a fraction of my master's power that you can exert, you can't even withstand the heavenly might of Great Yong."
"Hmph."
Xiahou Shou sneers mockingly, looks at her again, and says slowly, "You knew about the situation in Great Yong all along, knew I would fail... Then why did you help the Human Ancestor?"
"That's none of your concern." The artifact spirit of the Ancient Divine Punishnt remains indifferent.
"You don't exactly seem like soone who would spare the Human Ancestor for personal reasons..."
Xiahou Shou slightly narrows his eyes, "Seems like there's sothing special about the Human Ancestor? Or maybe... killing him would have so bad consequences?"
The Ancient Divine Punishnt remains indifferent, showing no intention of answering.
"Forget it."
Xiahou Shou says coldly, "The day of the Ancient Master's arrival is not far off, can't you tell where exactly?"
"You will naturally know when the ti cos." The artifact spirit of the Ancient Divine Punishnt says, "On that day, I will guide you to welco my master."
Xiahou Shou is silent for a mont, then asks, "Why does the Ancient Master want to descend to the eternal night deliberately?"
He scrutinizes the Ancient Divine Punishnt and says, "Thousands of years ago, the Ancient Master moved the Ancient Human Clan into the ancient world to escape the eternal night, yet left you here, must have been prepared to return to the eternal night long ago? Why?"
"You only need to act accordingly."
The artifact spirit of the Ancient Divine Punishnt coldly says, "Without my master's intervention, your Demon Clan would inevitably perish in the eternal night, you just need to understand this."
"Perish..."
Xiahou Shou silently sneers, but rembering the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, he remains silent for a while and says lightly, "I understand, it's not too bad that the Demon Clan can survive in the ancient world."
...
In Great Yong, Jingzhou, Di Hong City.
In the depths of the imperial palace's secret forbidden land, a nine-layered tower still stands quietly.
On the third floor of the tower, Lin Yue sits cross-legged on the ground, tilting his head to observe the carved patterns on the wall, silently sensing the Dao rhythm within.
He does not understand the Dao, nor comprehend cultivation.
Just relying on instinct to perceive the commonalities and the subtle patterns embedded within these carvings.
Based on these patterns and commonalities, he carves inscriptions on the door leading to the next floor, completing the relief perfectly to open the door and proceed to the next layer.
However, each ti he completes the pattern, finding the patterns and commonalities, he feels a hidden power within him slightly moving, giving him a vague feeling that he can tap into it, but not enough.
Occasionally he can slightly engage his inner power.
Fortunately, he discovers his physical strength is great, and his body is sturdy, using his finger to carve these patterns on the door.
As he ascends the higher levels, these patterns beco more complex, and the ti spent grows longer.
At this rate, he does not know how long it will take to reach the highest level.
...
"So quickly to the fourth layer... How many hours has it been?"
Outside the tower, the Crown Prince looks incredulously at Lin Yue inside the tower, "He's lost all his mories, starting from scratch, has no foundational cultivation, directly achieving enlightennt, yet so quickly?"
The Second Prince silently watches Lin Yue for a while before speaking, "Instinct."
He says, "His body contains a chaotic heaven and earth evolved from the ultimate path, even having refined the perfect Taichu Divine Body, even without his mory, his instinct allows him to quickly grasp various Dao."
The Crown Prince ponders for a mont and says, "The gods of the ancient tis were like this? Born from heaven and earth, inherently able to command various Dao."
"Despite not having the specific distinction of the ancient gods above all heaven and earth, but after all, it's the ultimate path."
The Second Prince softly says, "At this rate, when he reaches the ninth layer, he might truly have a chance to condense the divine heart, the three mystical patterns of the divine heart on the ninth layer are all at the Divine Lord level, attempting to complete instinctively would quite likely require mastering the Taichu Divine Heart."
This tower itself is a treasure left by the Divine Emperor, most suitable for cultivating enlightennt tests.
The specific difficulty depends on the Dao trace level inscribed within the tower.
This tower contains parts of the ultimate path traces inscribed by him, the Divine Emperor, and the Crown Prince, and three types of divine heart mysticism at the Divine Lord level, with the test difficulty extrely high.
Theoretically, except for mastering the parts of the ultimate path and the Divine Lord level divine hearts, only the ultimate path and Taichu Divine Heart can pass the final test of this tower.
"Do you ever feel..."
The Crown Prince suddenly softly says, "His enlightennt is excessively high? Like a jade hidden in a rock, shining brighter as his realm elevates and he is honed, so high it's almost beyond reason."
