205: How did you do that?

"How do you think my Human Emperor's current combat power compares to that of your Shen Family's Second Ancestor of the Shen Family, Senior Shen Qiong, back in the day?"

Shen Min frowned upon hearing this, recalling the ancestral history, and said, "There is simply no comparison. Back then, the Second Ancestor of the Shen Family was already at the Void Return Third Layer, and it wasn't his first time entering the ancestral grounds. Moreover, the Second Ancestor of the Shen Family also forged an Immortal Palace; he must have been much stronger than Shen Nian..."

"That's exactly the point. My Human Emperor is currently only at the Void Return First Layer, the same Realm as Senior Shen Qiong during his coming-of-age ceremony, and he also forged an Immortal Palace. Why was he able to do it?" Old Man Tianji's eyes lit up as he spoke.

"Does that mean that at the same Realm, he is even stronger than the Second Ancestor of the Shen Family?"

When Shen Min said this, he felt it was somewhat unbelievable. Although even he found it hard to believe, it was the truth.

After all, the records of the Second Ancestor of the Shen Family's coming-of-age ceremony stated, "Eighteen years old, Void Return First Layer, entered the ancestral grounds, went deep into the Cangtian Scripture Sea, obtained an Immortal Rank object, forged the second level, and then entered the ancestral grounds again the following year to reach the other shore..."

But... the Second Ancestor of the Shen Family possessed the peerless combat power of the Innate Sacred Body. What could be stronger than that?

Even though Shen Min knew that his own Shen Nian's talent in Talisman Dao was peerless, he didn't dare to compare him to the Second Ancestor of the Shen Family.

Because he was the first person in the Shen Family after the First Ancestor!

He lived for nine Heaven-Defying lifetimes, lasting from the ancient ages until fifty thousand years ago!

He was simply a mythical figure!

Old Man Tianji pondered, "You and I were also geniuses and prodigies; we know very well that at this level, the gap in strength is actually not very large. The Cultivation Technique and Divine Ability practiced are also at the same level. Apart from a divine body that can make one's combat power soar instantly, there is nothing else."

"You can't possibly guess that he has already mastered an Immortal Rank Divine Ability, right?"

"Is that something that can be comprehended at the Void Return Realm?"

"Therefore, I am certain that the Human Emperor also possesses a type of divine body, which had not been Awakening before, so even you didn't discover it..."

"And the divine body possessed by the Human Emperor is even more terrifying than the Innate Sacred Body!" The more Old Man Tianji spoke, the more excited he became, to the point where his whole person was stirred up.

Goodness! It seems my Human Emperor Hall has picked up a treasure!

No! The true hope for the rise of the Human Race is here!!

"Even more terrifying than the Innate Sacred Body, then there are only a few that fit..." Shen Min was stunned for a moment, and upon careful consideration, the only one that most fit Shen Nian was...

"Number one in Comprehension Ability, the Innate Sacred Body of the Dao Womb!"

Shen Min said it almost at the same time as Old Man Tianji. The two looked at each other; one was ecstatic, and the other was incomparably shocked.

"This explains why his comprehension of Talisman Dao is so terrifying, and why his Sword Dao is so monstrous..." Old Man Tianji said softly, and then revealed a burning expression as he added, "Of course, there is also another possibility."

"What my Human Emperor possesses is the Innate Chaos Body that has never appeared in the long river of Eastern Profound history!"

Once these words were spoken, Shen Min's pupils shrank sharply, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "That can't be right. How could the birth of an Innate Chaos Body not have any strange phenomena? If the Demon Dao discovered it, he would likely desperately attack my Shen Family. How could he leave such a great hidden danger?"

"It's very unreasonable, right..." Old Man Tianji chuckled, a trace of lamentation appearing in his eyes. "It's precisely because it's unreasonable that it's right. There are many things in this world that are inherently unreasonable..."

"Shen Min, whether the Human Emperor possesses the Innate Chaos Body or the Innate Sacred Body of the Dao Womb, I feel it is necessary to change our strategy..." Old Man Tianji called out Shen Min's real name, which meant that he was very serious about this.

Shen Min looked at Old Man Tianji and said, "Do you want to hide it from the Demon Dao?"

"Heh, you can't hide it from him."

"Whether it is the Innate Sacred Body or the Innate Chaos Body, once formed, it will inevitably trigger strange phenomena. At that time, the Demon Dao will surely sense it."

"The entire Fourth Star Domain is under his Divine Thought; how can it be hidden? If it weren't for your Shen Family's First Ancestor severely injuring the Demon Dao's eyes back then, causing him to slumber for years, the Human Emperor would have been discovered long ago..." Old Man Tianji said softly, then revealed a cold expression, "Moreover, the Demon Dao is in the dark, and we are in the light. Back then, he plotted to kill so many of our Human Race's prodigies. Your Shen Family should feel this most deeply. Are these lessons not enough?"

Hide it from the Demon Dao and bet that he won't discover it, allowing Shen Nian to rise?

But if he really plots and takes action, what can they do?

When these words were spoken, Shen Min fell silent. Regarding the matters of the First Ancestor and the Second Ancestor of the Shen Family, this already involved the secrets of the Shen Family. Currently, he was the only one in the Shen Family who knew the true situation; the others were all in Cangtian Palace.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Old Man Tianji's expression turned firm as he said, "Since we can't hide it, then don't hide it. Let the Human Emperor enter the Heavenly Abyss and lure the Demon Dao into taking action. At that time, I will use the Human Emperor Hall's billions of years of accumulation, plus my own life, to drag the Demon Dao into the Void. I am not good at killing demons, but when it comes to trapping demons, I consider myself the best of the current generation. How much time I can buy depends on Heaven's will."

"In this way, the Human Emperor will be truly safe for a short period of time..."

"Is there no other way?" Shen Min frowned and asked.

"Yes!"

"Unless all the past Old Ancestors of your Shen Family are resurrected and the First Ancestor stops the Demon Dao, only then can a temporary balance be achieved..." Old Man Tianji laughed.

"..." Shen Min was somewhat speechless. How could this be possible? He didn't even know if the Ninth Ancestor was dead now; after being taken to Cangtian Palace, there was completely no news of him, let alone the others.

If they all popped out, not to mention the Heavenly Demon Realm being startled, even the Human Race would be startled.

Immediately after, Shen Min stared at Old Man Tianji, then chuckled, "Aren't you quite afraid of death? Is this still the Wang Xuanzhi I know?"

"I am afraid of death. Aren't you afraid of death? It's just that there's no other way..." Old Man Tianji shrugged helplessly.

"Heh, wanting to die is easy enough," Shen Min chuckled, then turned to look at the ancient stone gate, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes. As Old Man Tianji said, this was indeed the most secure method.

Old Man Tianji also looked at the ancient stone gate and changed the subject.

"I don't know how much of an improvement the Human Emperor will have from this baptism. I'm really looking forward to it..."

...

After the Grass Character Sword Art annihilated the old man's figure, Shen Nian also landed on this golden ground.

Dong!

The world changed instantly.

In an instant, a scene of a paradise appeared before Shen Nian's eyes.

A golden earth, flowers and plants emitting Immortal Qi, and Immortal Rhyme flowing throughout the entire world. In the center of this land was a small tree, and standing beside it was an old man wearing ancient robes, with crane-white hair and a youthful face, staring at Shen Nian in disbelief.

"How did you do it?"

The old man looked at Shen Nian and asked, as if even he, a spirit body that had witnessed generation after generation of supreme prodigies of the Demon Sealing Sect, was stunned.

Honestly, comprehending an Immortal Rank sword art in the blink of an eye, and it was definitely at the Immortal Emperor level; otherwise, it would be impossible to kill him at the Void Return First Layer.

Who would believe this if it were said out loud?

I'm afraid that even if one searched through the long river of time in the Fourth Star Domain, such Comprehension Ability could not be found.

Therefore, he asked full of curiosity.
