383: Nine generations of demon sealing, traversing nine mountains and seas of tribulation, my destiny is boundless.

Put this way, everything makes sense. Why the Shen Family ancestral grounds contain a Demon Sealing Sect ruin, why the Shen Family progenitor was so powerful, and why the Demon Sealing Sect remnant Soul I once encountered in the Secret Realm would kneel and thank me...

So, the Shen Family originated from the demon sealing lineage!

Hearing what the progenitor said next, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Not long after, the Dao Ancestor Senior paid the price of falling in cultivation realm to calculate that the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer originated from the Human Race of the Eastern Profound Star Domain..." A complex look flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes, and he continued: "At first, Revered Master and the Dao Ancestor both thought the Ninth Generation was me. But later, on the day Confucian Ancestor Senior fell and his Literary Heart shattered, he revealed the key: the Ninth Generation is one who should have died but did not, a person not of this Universe, originating from the Shen Family, sharing the same lineage as me but not the same source..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian's pupils constricted slightly.

Not of this Universe, one who should have died but did not!

When it comes down to it, isn't that just me?

At the same time, Shen Nian felt a lingering fear. This was the first time he had felt this since his Transmigration. The supreme combat power of this world was terrifying; they could actually calculate such things!

Most importantly!

The Confucian Ancestor, who could calculate Shen Nian's Origins, had fallen. The existence that could kill him, wouldn't that be even stronger?

Doesn't that mean he had been calculated long ago?

This made Shen Nian extremely displeased. He had a feeling of being manipulated from the very beginning.

"Do not worry. The Dao Ancestor shattered his own Dao to disrupt the heavenly secrets, leaving the future in Chaos. Among those still alive today, no one knows your Origins. And this remnant thought of mine will dissipate completely after you leave..." Shen Yuan said softly.

Hearing this, Shen Nian's expression eased slightly. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "So you specifically stayed on the thirty-sixth level to wait for me, and then tell me all of this?"

"Yes." Shen Yuan nodded, then looked into the distance and continued: "After the mysterious fall of the Confucian Ancestor, Revered Master and the Dao Ancestor realized they could not wait any longer. But at that time, there was no such thing as the Shen Family on the Fourth Star. This also indicated that the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer was in the future; the time had not yet come..."

He seemed to recall the past, the feeling of powerlessness when the great tribulation was approaching, yet he could not change the outcome.

Even an existence like the Dao Ancestor, known as the oldest in the Universe, could not escape falling. What could he, Shen Yuan, possibly do...

What if he was one step away from becoming a Luotian Immortal, the second Luotian Immortal after the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer?

"And then?"

"Who exactly are they?" Shen Nian asked. He had wanted to know for a long time, but whenever he met someone who knew the situation, they would say it was unspeakable.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Shen Yuan's mouth, and he couldn't help but say: "Just a group of beings that have existed since the birth of heaven and earth. To put it nicely, they are Chaos Gods and Demons. To put it bluntly, they are no different from beasts. They are high and mighty, and do not allow any living being the slightest possibility of shaking their status..."

Hearing this, Shen Nian continued: "If that's the case, they must have lived for a very long time. Is status and fame still that important?"

He didn't quite understand. Having lived for endless years, while wealth and glory are nice, one would surely get tired of them sooner or later.

"No~" Shen Yuan shook his head and said: "They naturally do not care about these things. The so-called status is those forty-nine supreme Daos, the Origin of the Universe. They are born mastering one of them..."

"In their eyes, beings who Cultivate Acquired are all ants..."

"Even if it meant destroying the entire Universe and causing it to restart, they would not want anyone to be able to threaten their status..."

Upon hearing this explanation, Shen Nian suddenly felt that they were just a bunch of lunatics.

"After that, the Dao Ancestor condensed many Innate divine objects, and with my Revered Master's help, finally refined an item. It can protect the Divine Soul from perishing for millions upon millions of years. Even in the Land of Chaotic Heavens, it remains unrestricted, and one can even Cultivate within it, nourished by Immortal Qi..."

"Revered Master gave this Magic Treasure to me, intending for those among my descendants with exceptional talent to have the possibility of resurrection, fearing that the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer might not survive the death tribulation..." Shen Yuan added.

"The cangtian token?" Shen Nian said, his gaze looking at the cangtian token at his waist.

No wonder this item is so magical...

So it was refined by the Dao Ancestor and the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer together.

They really went to great lengths to allow the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer to attain the Dao.

The next second.

"Everything that needed to be said has been said. My remnant thought cannot exist for much longer. It is time to get down to business..." Shen Yuan said softly, an ancient rune flashing between his brows as he spoke.

"The demon sealing lineage has been passed down since the beginning of the Dao. Although there are countless Disciples, only the Demon Sealing Dao Venerable holds the Demon Dao. This Dao is not within the Three Realms, jumps out of the Five Elements, and stands independent outside the fifty Universe Daos. I am Shen Yuan, the first Disciple of the Eighth Generation Demon Sealing Dao Venerable. Today, on behalf of the Demon Sealing Sect's past Demon Sealing Dao Venerables, I impart the Dao to the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer. This is the Eight Demon Sealing Curses."

This voice suddenly exploded in Shen Nian's mind, as if an ancient great bell had been struck violently, shaking his Soul until it trembled slightly.

At the same time, the light in his eyes intensified. He saw eight figures, as brilliant as ancient stars, slowly emerging from the void.

They had various forms and countless postures; they were the past Demon Sealing Dao Venerables. That powerful and ancient aura, like a surging tide, instantly submerged Shen Nian.

They were like eternal, undying gods, standing proudly in the long river of time. Although the temperament and charm of each Dao Venerable were different, they all exuded a mysterious aura of the same Origin and lineage.

"Wait!"

"Isn't there one more trial?" Shen Nian asked immediately after regaining his senses.

There should have been one more trial for the demon sealing assessment. The progenitor's words about imparting the Dao to the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer left Shen Nian a bit confused.

"There is no need. The former third trial was to battle the past Demon Sealing Dao Venerables in their youth; victory meant passing. But the Ninth Generation Demon Sealer was actually destined from the beginning. The Ninth Generation Demon Sealer exists because of you..." Shen Yuan explained.

The next second.

"Cultivating Self, Karma, Life and Death, Positive and Negative, True Self, Past and Present, Truth and Falsehood, Beginning and End..."

The eight ancient Demon Sealing Curses spun in Shen Nian's mind. At this moment, an ancient rune was condensing in Shen Nian's eyes. Within his body, a wisp of golden blood emerged within the silver Chaos blood, instantly dominating the entire Chaos blood.

"Ancient Dao, Ninth Generation Demon Sealer, Treading the Nine Mountains and Seas Dao Tribulation, My Life is Boundless..." Shen Nian chanted slowly, as if he had been familiar with this phrase for countless years, not feeling strange at all.

Just then, Shen Yuan suddenly stood up, brushed the dust off his body, revealed an unprecedented look of respect, and bowed respectfully.

"Demon Sealing Sect, Disciple Shen Yuan, pays respects to the Ninth Generation Demon Sealing Dao Venerable. May your life be boundless, and may the Ancient Dao be eternal!"

At the same time.

The entire demon sealing ruin seemed to come alive.

Outside the ruin, Wind Jade immediately began to tremble, his face full of surprise. With a thud, he knelt on the ground, instantly streaming with tears.

"Demon Sealing Sect Mountain Spirit Wind Jade, pays respects to the Ninth Generation Demon Sealing Dao Venerable..."
