416: The truth is, the progenitor of demon sealing!

The great snake spoke human words, revealing an expression of extreme piety.

Hearing this, Shen Nian was stunned. He had intended to use Candle Nine Nethers as the thirty-sixth floor's palace-guarding great demon, but he hadn't expected such an effect.

Could it be that the higher the Realm, the stronger the consciousness preserved?

"Do you know where my Revered Master Luo Li went?" Shen Nian immediately asked. He could sense that this golden great snake unconditionally submitted to him and would never lie.

The golden great snake shook its head, then said, "Your subordinate does not know. When the Demon Sealing Sect ruins appeared in the world, your subordinate's main body was cut off for a period of time..."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Nian fell silent.

"However, your subordinate speculates that those existences were responsible. Revered Master's Revered Master is an Innate Being, which offers astonishing benefits to the Ancient Realm, and even after refining her, those at the Peak Ancient Realm can step into the Dao Realm."

After the golden great snake finished speaking, it suddenly remembered something and immediately said.

"At this time, it happens to coincide with the opening of the Thirty-Three Heavens Ascending Heaven Road in the Immortal Realm. It is highly probable that those existences are collecting rewards throughout the Universe..."

As soon as these words were uttered, Shen Nian's expression immediately turned grim. A killing intent emanated throughout the entire Heavenly Net Palace, causing the golden great snake to tremble.

"They..."

"Who are they!"

Candle Nine Nethers quickly replied, "They are the Innate born gods and demons, who call themselves the Unspeakable Dao Venerables. Since the battle of Immortal Ancient, they won..."

"Explain clearly..." Shen Nian asked coldly.

Soon, Shen Nian heard everything and finally understood who had caused the great catastrophe of yesteryear.

When Chaos first opened, the Yao Race, Human Race, and gods and demons, three types of Innate Beings, were born in the Universe. The Yao Race and gods and demons were born powerful, wielding Innate Great Dao. On the day of their birth, they were at the Peak Ancient Realm, and after refining the Great Dao, they could reach the end of the Dao Realm, with the gods and demons being the strongest.

Only humans were extremely weak, no different from ants in front of them. Neither the gods and demons nor the Yao Race paid any attention to such fragile beings, but they were surprised to discover that eating humans with Innate Divine Blood could enhance their Cultivation. Although it was only a slight improvement, the more powerful the Human Race, the more Cultivation they provided!

For this reason, the fate of the Human Race was self-evident and extremely cruel. They became food for the two races, kept as livestock, divided between the Yao Race and the gods and demons, with the gods and demons taking the most and the Yao Race taking less. Over time, the gods and demons grew impatient with only eating weak humans, so they later bestowed Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities upon the Human Race for Cultivation.

However, it was not as they had imagined. The Human Race's Cultivation was too slow, and they knew they had no hope, so this plan did not have much effect.

For this, the leader of the gods and demons, the Spirit of Heavenly Dao, came up with a method.

He set up a barrier between heaven and earth, opened up a Realm, named it the Immortal Realm, spread rumors that those who Ascended to become Immortals could live forever, created many myths, beautified the Immortal Realm, and provided a continuous supply of Heaven And Earth Treasures for the Human Race to Cultivate.

Thereafter, the gods and demons and the Yao Race jointly agreed that no one in the Mortal Realm Human Race could be attacked; only those who Ascended to the Immortal Realm could be eaten!

However, the Yao Race's reproduction speed was too astonishing. In contrast, the Human Race's Ascension to the Immortal Realm was very slow, and they originally received fewer humans. Over time, voices of discontent arose within the Yao Race.

Eventually, a chaotic battle between gods and demons and great demons began, spreading throughout the entire Universe, and the Lower Realm was almost annihilated.

It ended with the defeat of the Yao Race, the fall of the Ancestral Dragon, and the near extinction of Innate great demons. The gods and demons also suffered heavy losses in Origin Qi and Sealed themselves.

The fall of Innate great demons in the Universe led to drastic changes in heaven and earth. More Origin and Heaven And Earth Treasures were born, and the Lower Realm ushered in a new life, giving birth to a succession of sages.

Among them, one was the most powerful, seemingly born in response to the calamity, with a Cultivation speed that was the fastest in all eternity!

He Ascended to the Immortal Realm, saw the desolation, learned all the truth, fought fiercely with the descendants of great demons who came to feed, and defeated the great demons. He walked to the end of the Universe, his life reached its utmost sublimation, and he obtained a divine object, transcending everything. Then he traveled to every corner of the Universe, Sealing one injured Innate great demon after another. This divine object also transformed, becoming the bane of demons. He had no Dao, disdained to comprehend the Dao of this Universe, so he forged his own path, named Ancient Dao!

This person later learned that there were even more powerful gods and demons, so he went and engaged in a world-shaking battle with them. The gods and demons were frightened; one day, those weak ants actually posed a threat to their lives. After this battle, eleven gods and demons died, and the previously unchanging number changed. The other gods and demons were all so frightened that they fled in all directions, falling into nothingness.

This person was undeniably unprecedentedly powerful; only the leader of the gods and demons, Heavenly Dao, could fight him. But after one battle, he suffered very, very severe injuries that could no longer be recovered.

For this, he found a star, changed it so it would not be affected by the Universe, and even if one achieved Immortal Ascension, there would be no Heavenly Tribulation and one would not go to the Immortal Realm. He also founded a Sect here, building nine mountains and seas with flesh and blood as a formation, using the Heaven and Earth Jianmu as the formation core, to resist attacks from gods and demons and protect the beings of the Three Thousand Realms.

This person eventually died. He was the First Generation Demon Sealer of the Demon Sealing Sect, taking Dao as his name and Shi as his character. His name was Ancient Origin!

A very long time passed. The matter of the gods and demons had become a secret. The Immortal Realm became prosperous and bustling, with the Heavenly Court unified and the Three Teachings emerging. But only those who entered the Dao Realm knew that the gods and demons would eventually return, and the great calamity would ultimately arrive.

Without one who transcends everything and wields the Ancient Dao, no one can stop their leader!

But as they slept through these epochs, the Human Race was no longer as weak as before. Many powerful existences were born: the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, Dao Ancestor, Buddha Ancestor, Confucian Ancestor, Demon Sealing Dao Venerable, Space-Time Dao Venerable, and so on... These powerful existences were no weaker than the gods and demons, strong enough to fight them!

However, before the great war began, many gods and demons appeared, secretly instigating, tempting, coercing, or making promises. Many forces in the Immortal Realm surrendered, while those who did not were eventually wiped out... Especially every generation of Demon Sealers of the Demon Sealing Sect, who were listed as top enemies by these gods and demons. They feared the emergence of another existence like Ancient Origin, so they spared no effort to kill successive generations of Demon Sealers, which included the great demons they controlled!

After speaking, Candle Nine Nethers continued, "That so-called Thirty-Three Heavens Ascending Heaven Road is the Legacy path for the descendants of gods and demons..."

After hearing all this, Shen Nian's eyes were extremely cold, and he felt immense admiration for the First Generation Demon Sealer!

Injustice!

Heaven and Earth are unjust!

Why were humans born weak, and why were the Yao Race and gods and demons so powerful?

Yet, beneath this injustice, there was one person who went Heaven-Defying, broke through this injustice, and brought a turning point for future generations. If not for Ancient Origin, how could the Human Race have reached a point where they could contend with these gods and demons?

But even so!

Some people still lost!

"Revered Master, your subordinate was originally ordered to suppress and destroy the Eastern Profound Star. After your subordinate's death, the Immortal Realm will surely notice, and the Demon Sealing Sect ruins have appeared..." Candle Nine Nethers immediately said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian pondered and said, "Can those gods and demons make a move?"

"After the war of yesteryear, the gods and demons must have been injured. Even after so long, they certainly haven't fully recovered. If it's just for a minor matter like the Demon Sealing Sect ruins, they absolutely won't show themselves!" Candle Nine Nethers immediately replied.

"Oh."

"Then let them come!"

Candle Nine Nethers' expression immediately changed drastically, and he added, "But Revered Master, if you expose your identity as the Ninth Generation Demon Sealing Dao Venerable, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"So what?" Shen Nian frowned. With the confidence of 15,000 preaching value, condensing a Dao Fruit was completely sufficient!

"If they don't come, I still plan to visit this Immortal Realm!"

As soon as these words came out, Candle Nine Nethers was stunned, looking at Shen Nian in shock... At the same time.

Immortal Realm.

Canglan Immortal Prefecture.

In the Great Hall of the Immortal Palace.

"Oh?"

"The Demon Sealing Sect has appeared?"

"Haha, if our clan takes this Legacy, that would be truly interesting..."
