CHAPTER 551: CHAPTER 551 A TRACE OF SORROW

Therefore, they are no longer afraid now, hoping that absolute powerhouses like Yang Tian can stay at the Sword Gate of the Gods, perhaps even replace Ye Wudao as their master!

After all, in the Kingdom of Truth, the law of the jungle is unchangeable.

With Yang Tian here, they don’t have to worry about threats from other clans, nor do they have to worry about Yang Tian leaving this place!

However, their worries are clearly unnecessary, because at this time Yang Tian cannot move, as they had anticipated when they arrived at the Heavenly Sword. With the current strength of Yang Tian, even recovering his stamina with a broken protective bracelet, he cannot forcefully open the space passage!

"Brother Yang, are you still considering entering space?"

The quiet chamber of the Sect Leader of the Chenjian Sect.

Chen Xue, dressed in white, jumped in with a laugh and asked.

Today’s Chen Xue is completely different from her melancholic self a month ago, almost like two different people. Not only has she reverted to her lively self, but she also carries a subtle yet radiant smile every day.

Only when Earth and her father, Chen Hao, are mentioned, does a trace of sorrow surface!

Of course, there’s another point—the breath of Chen Xue at this moment is actually in the early stages of the robbery realm!

However, it was Yang Tian who directly infused the power of the Three Immortals, derived from Yun Han Immortal, into Chen Xue’s body.

We should know, as Chen Xue’s master, Yun Han Immortal’s power and Chen Xue’s are innately connected, which allowed Chen Xue to absorb almost 100% of it. Moreover, with Chen Xue’s Jianxin physique, she successfully transcended the lightning calamity within just one month, becoming a powerhouse during the robbery stage.

Though she has quickly entered the robbery stage, Chen Xue’s emotional maturity still needs tempering, so for now she can only exert half-step robbery power.

Even so, Chen Xue has already become the strongest person in Shenjian Gate today. Despite repeated proposals from the High Priest, she was almost unanimously elected to inherit the position of Sect Leader of the Chenjian Sect, taking control of the entire sect.

As for Yang Tian, although the elders of Ling Jian wanted to bring it up, they dared not speak of it and could only step back to the second position.

Moreover, Chen Xue is Yang Tian’s sister. If Chen Xue were to become the master of Shenjian Gate, would Yang Tian not assist her?

In the quiet room, watching Chen Xue walk in, Yang Tian shook his head with a smile and responded, "You’re always causing trouble, aren’t you?"

"What’s wrong with causing trouble?" Chen Xue laughed as she sat down, saying, "If they hadn’t invited me, I wouldn’t have agreed. I’ve already said, in front of Brother Yang, Xiao Xue will always just be your younger sister!"

Hearing this, Yang Tian shook his head again, evidently unable to contend with Chen Xue’s cheekiness, but returned to the previous topic and said, "After all, I am a practitioner of the Devil Path. Suppressing the Heaven and Earth Laws in my cultivation has incurred severe restrictions; if I want to open a space passage in the short term, I fear it’s impossible—unless..."

"Unless what?"

Chen Xue asked curiously.

"Unless I can find Obsidian in space, like in the mysterious world, and in sufficient quantity!"

"In the Heavens?"

Upon hearing Old Lingjian’s reference, Yang Tian was slightly surprised. He wasn’t sure what he meant.

When the elder saw this, he quickly replied with respect, "Yes, indeed... I am Chen Menzhu’s senior brother, but neither my disciples nor I know how to address you. I heard your name contains the title of Heavenly Emperor, so I ventured to call you Heavenly Venerate. I hope I haven’t offended you!"

As he spoke, Old Ling Jian anxiously watched Yang Tian, fearing he might anger him.

After all, Yang Tian possesses enough power to not only kill Ye Wudao but also overthrow the current sect hierarchy. More importantly, the Chenjian Sect as a whole now depends on Yang Tian.

If Yang Tian were to be enraged, the consequences would be far beyond what her elder rank could bear!

However, Yang Tian only smiled and shook his head, saying, "Call me whatever you like," before adding, "But the name Ben Cang stems from Guiyuan; if you wish, you can address me as Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate."

"Yes! Yes indeed!"

Upon seeing Yang Tian wasn’t offended, the High Priest Sword quickly bowed, cupping his hands as he said, "Greetings, Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate. I wonder, what business brings you to seek me out today?"

"Oh, that’s about it!"

Yang Tian opened his mouth, saying, "You should know Long Sword, right? Do you know anything about the God and Demon Battlefield?"

"Heavens Above! You know of the battlefield between gods and devils?"

The elder swordsman was visibly shocked.

After all, the God and Demon Battlefield is a secret of cultivation realms, and for someone like Yang Tian—a warrior from the Lower Realm—to have such knowledge defied logic.

However, it quickly dawned upon Old Sword Priest that Chen Xue must have informed Yang Tian about it after her breakthrough, so he explained, "Heavenly Venerate, I am familiar with the God and Demon Battlefield, but before delving into that, I need to clarify the distinctions between devils, our truthfully practicing adversary, and monsters!"

Monsters in cultivation?

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian’s face immediately lit with interest.

Who was Yang Tian?

A devouring demon, a true monster!

This was the path of the Devil Ancestor.

Who could better understand demons than him?

Yet at this moment, neither Yang Tian nor Chen Xue could return to Earth, and even if the Chenjian Sect knew he was a monster, it wouldn’t matter.

But Yang Tian suspected such tranquility wouldn’t last for long!

So, as his thoughts turned, Yang Tian merely nodded slightly without commenting further.

As for Chen Xue, despite her current robbery stage rank, she remained a curious girl at heart. Her eagerness resembled that of a child waiting for a tale, as she stared expectantly at Old Dao Sword to continue the story.

When the elder swordsman noted this, he slowly opened his mouth to describe. First, he detailed his understanding of monsters.

However, since he practiced the Truth Path within the cultivation realm, his description could only portray monsters in a negative light. In his account, monsters were bloodthirsty beings fond of killing, which made Chen Xue involuntarily shrink away.

As for Yang Tian, he could only helplessly shrug and remain indifferent.

"Heavenly Venerate Above! That is the probable fate of monsters!"

The Priest Sword slowed his pace after expounding for quite some time. "However, while monsters are indeed our mortal enemies, they too are cultivators. When they reach a certain level, they also transcend robbery stages. Legend holds that, like us, these monsters ascend."

"Only our monsters ascend to the Immortal Realm to become Immortals, while others ascend to the Devil World and become Demons! And the God and Demon Battlefield is precisely the place where immortals and demons clash!"

The clash where immortals and demons battle?

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian furrowed his brows and curiously asked, "How strong are Immortals and Demons? Given the vast and robust power of this reality, wouldn’t it fall short under the might of such entities?"

"Naturally, in the cultivation realm as we know it, the power of true immortals cannot be wholly endured!"

Old Sword nodded, adding, "However, the God and Demon Battlefield is unlike the cultivation realm. It is said that it operates under distinct Heaven and Earth Laws. Yet, the specifics remain unknown to me at this level."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian nodded slightly, though his mind could not help but stir.

A difference in Heaven and Earth Laws?

If it bears the name God and Demon Battlefield, then the laws of Heaven and Earth aren’t entirely favorable to Immortals. After all, demons aren’t fools. Why would they battle under laws disadvantageous to them?

This is an era...
