Chapter 613: Think You're Amazing Because You Have Talent?
The Demon Master was tense.
Donghuang Taiyi closed in step by step.
It seemed he wanted to force the Demon Master to make a move.
The atmosphere solidified to a tipping point.
Just as Donghuang Taiyi slowly reached out his hand.
Ji Meng, who was beside him, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Demon Emperor, we have a result..."
Ji Meng's tone was strangely peculiar.
His speaking also broke the frozen atmosphere of the scene.
Donghuang Taiyi shifted his gaze from the Demon Master to Ji Meng.
"What happened?"
Donghuang Taiyi asked.
"Demon Emperor, Baize and Hundun, along with the other four, have revived and pledged allegiance to the New Heavenly Dao, thus they now belong to the new era..."
Ji Meng took a deep breath.
His feelings were very complicated.
The Si Xiong was one thing.
They were merely war generals of the Demon Race, not core figures.
But what kind of person was Baize? One of the Demon Saints!
He was also Your Majesty's trusted aide!
Among the Demon Saints, if there were a ranking, Baize might not be the first in combat strength, but in capability, Baize was definitely the first!
Baize actually pledged allegiance to the New Heavenly Dao?
"Baize pledged allegiance to the New Heavenly Dao?"
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi also furrowed his brows.
"These are the words of the Old Heavenly Dao..."
Ji Meng said with a bitter smile.
"Divinity Continent, is it? This Emperor will personally make a visit. I want to see for myself what face Baize has to meet me."
Donghuang Taiyi didn't get angry but spoke these words indifferently and planned to head to Divinity Continent.
Seeing this, Ji Meng hastily stopped Donghuang Taiyi.
"Demon Emperor, please calm your anger!"
"If it were any other place, the Demon Emperor could certainly go, but concerning Divinity Continent, please refrain from visiting for the time being. I fear the combat strength of Divinity Continent is not limited to those listed in the rankings."
Ji Meng shared his speculations, along with the account of his struggle with Ye Luo's Divine Sense, with Donghuang Taiyi.
In Ji Meng's view, Divinity Continent couldn't possibly be that simple.
After all, that Ye Luo once said he had a Respected Master.
The rankings did not record any other strong figures from Divinity Continent besides Baize and his group.
The highest was just Ye Luo.
Above Ye Luo, there surely were other powerful existences in Divinity Continent.
But there were no records.
What does this imply?
It suggests that perhaps even the Old Heavenly Dao was unable to probe those existences.
In the current New Heaven and Earth, every continent has seen the emergence of figures at the level of Immortal Realm Ancestors surpassing the mundane world.
Divinity Continent is the strongest within the New Heavenly Dao.
Maybe within Divinity Continent, there are incredibly powerful beings.
Under such circumstances, Donghuang Taiyi, with his strength not yet fully recovered, would most likely be suppressed if he went there.
But the main concern was:
Ji Meng feared that Baize and the Si Xiong pledging allegiance to the New Heavenly Dao might have been coerced.
Could there be a supreme being within Divinity Continent who coerced Baize and the Si Xiong into joining the New Heavenly Dao?
If that were true, it would be a serious matter.
Donghuang Taiyi listened quietly to all these words.
He fell silent.
After hesitating for a moment,
he chose not to go to Divinity Continent right away.
This was not to say that he was afraid.
It was that he could not go.
The strongest fighting force of the Demon Race was him at the moment.
If anything happened to him, the Old Era's chances of successfully inciting the Catastrophic Tribulation would likely be very troublesome.
Of course, the most important thing was the existence of the Demon Master, which made Donghuang Taiyi feel uneasy.
Donghuang Taiyi silently glanced at the Demon Master.
"Alright, let's go. First, we'll return to that continent you mentioned. This Emperor wants to see for myself how the Demon Race stands now."
Donghuang Taiyi said.
Upon hearing his words, both Ji Meng and the Demon Master breathed a sigh of relief and flew back together in the direction of Tianjian Continent.
...
Meanwhile.
In the Dragon Clan Great Ancestor's Cave Abode.
Chu Yuan sat cross-legged in the main room.
He had discovered something very amusing.
To be precise, he had discovered a way to enter an Invincible State.
It turned out that as long as he split off a part of his Will Body, he could use it as Divine Sense, which allowed him to observe others without making a sound.
And others couldn't even detect it.
Moreover, his Will Body, when enveloped by the Invincible State, could change at will, even taking on the appearance and voice of others.
As long as he could imagine it, he could change it.
Once Chu Yuan understood this principle, he immediately burst into laughter.
He instantly knew how to plunge his disciple Lin Mo into demonic entrapment.
A series of playful strategies already emerged in his mind.
Chu Yuan didn't hesitate and utilized his ability.
He split off a part of his Will Body, wrapped in the Invincible State, and directed it towards Lin Mo's meditation chamber.
This part of his Will Body, much like his own eyes, could clearly see everything inside the meditation chamber.
Chu Yuan saw Lin Mo sitting atop the Profound Iron Coffin.
A vortex of Spiritual Energy formed around Lin Mo and hovered above his head, allowing him to absorb it unceasingly.
Lin Mo's aura was ancient, filled with a fighting spirit.
He was clearly practicing the Great Chaotic Celestial Battle Technique.
He had achieved entry-level proficiency?
Chu Yuan was taken aback.
Though he could not comprehend the "Great Chaotic Celestial Battle Technique", he could tell.
Lin Mo had reached the initial stage of his cultivation.
How much time had passed?
He had allowed Lin Mo to enter the cave mansion for cultivation, and then he himself had come to the cave mansion to ponder over the Will Body Splitting Great Method. Altogether it hadn't been more than an hour, right?
Less than an hour…
…and Lin Mo had reached the initial stage of his cultivation?
Was this what a stellar aptitude looked like?
Chu Yuan felt a strong malice coming from the world.
Low aptitude meant not even being able to understand a cultivation technique.
The cultivation technique could be smacked right onto your face, and you still wouldn't comprehend it.
Those with high aptitude would grasp a cultivation technique and master it in less than an hour.
This gap…
Chu Yuan really wanted to say the name of a certain plant.
Chu Yuan took a deep breath.
He calmed himself down.
And continued to watch Lin Mo.
He wanted to see exactly how Lin Mo cultivated.
Under Chu Yuan's gaze,
Lin Mo suddenly stopped cultivating.
He gradually opened his eyes.
His gaze turned in the direction of Chu Yuan's Will Body as if he saw something.
This gave Chu Yuan quite a shock.
Was he discovered?
Just as Chu Yuan was startled,
he saw Lin Mo lower his head, seemingly puzzled.
"Why do I feel..."
"Feel like someone is watching me? Is it an illusion?"
Chu Yuan heard Lin Mo murmuring to himself softly.
After which, he silently chose to continue cultivating.
Hearing these words,
that part of Chu Yuan's Will Body heaved a sigh of relief.
"Is this what being top-notch in aptitude means? He can even detect the gaze of my Will Body?"
Chu Yuan was genuinely startled by Lin Mo's sense of being watched.
He had thought Lin Mo had found him out.
He didn't expect Lin Mo was just feeling something.
Still, this made Chu Yuan once again envy those with great aptitude.
With a good aptitude, you can do whatever you want.
Chu Yuan sighed.
Life is hard, Chu Yuan sighed.
Chu Yuan adjusted his mindset and started to observe Lin Mo cultivating.
He looked for an opportunity, hoping to catch Lin Mo off-guard and make a move.
Hmph, think you're something special because of your high aptitude?
Chu Yuan quietly waited…
