100: Understand all the great principles in the world!
She was actually a little worried that the Icefire Demon Emperor's remnant Soul would target Tang Tian.
After regaining their senses, Tang Tian and Nie Keke exchanged glances.
“I have no interest in the Artifact Refiner Legacy,” Tang Tian said with a smile.
Hearing Tang Tian's words, the Icefire Demon Emperor's remnant Soul's mouth twitched fiercely.
Is this kid looking down on his Legacy?
Damn it!
Meanwhile, Nie Keke felt incredibly moved.
Was Tang Tian making way for her?
What the two didn't know was that Tang Tian was just speaking the truth.
He truly had no interest in the Artifact Refining Legacy.
The same went for the Alchemy Legacy.
It was simple: this guy had comprehended all Profound Truths in the world.
Naturally, this included the Profound Truth of Alchemy and the Profound Truth of Artifact Refining.
Once his Profound Truths transformed into Great Daos, his Alchemy and Artifact Refining skills would be unparalleled.
Therefore, this Legacy held no attraction for him.
“Tang Tian…”
Taking a deep breath, Nie Keke was about to persuade Tang Tian.
In her heart, she had also decided to let Tang Tian receive the Icefire Demon Emperor's Legacy.
Isn't this more valuable than the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower?
However, Nie Keke's words were cut off by Tang Tian before she could finish.
“I’m serious,” Tang Tian said earnestly, staring into Nie Keke's eyes.
“Alright then…” Nie Keke nodded gently.
Subsequently, the two reached a consensus.
Nie Keke chose the Icefire Demon Emperor's Legacy, while Tang Tian chose the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower.
Before long, Nie Keke sat down cross-legged and began to accept the Legacy.
The overwhelming flames around her transformed into fiery red runes and flew towards her.
Meanwhile, Tang Tian gained control of the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower.
After becoming the master of the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower, Tang Tian was completely stunned.
The Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower's greatest use, or rather, its most unique feature, was that it had collected most of the various Great Dao Powers?
And they were sealed on the ninth floor of the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower?
He could take this opportunity to comprehend these Great Daos?
Also!
The Icefire Demon Emperor hadn't died?
Instead, he had ascended?
His remnant Soul was merely for choosing a successor?
This remnant Soul was just a Clone manifested from a wisp of his Soul?
The reason he spoke of his 'lifetime' was because he thought the Icefire Demon Emperor had died?
Upon learning all this, Tang Tian didn't know what to say.
Pushing these thoughts aside, Tang Tian arrived at the depths of the flame world.
As expected!
Here, there were abundant Great Dao Powers of various kinds all around.
“Is this the Great Dao?”
“The Great Dao that can only be comprehended upon entering the Saint Realm?” Tang Tian muttered to himself, scanning his surroundings.
The next moment, Tang Tian closed his eyes.
Then, an incredible thing happened.
Centered around Tang Tian, various Great Dao Power fluctuations began to permeate the surroundings.
“This?”
Not far away, the Icefire Demon Emperor's Clone couldn't help but widen his eyes.
This kid, wasn't he only at the Peak of the Dongtian Realm, Ninth Heaven?
Why could he comprehend the Great Dao?
And not just one kind?
Normally, even the most terrifying Saint could only comprehend a few Great Daos, right?
But this Human Race kid in front of him… Staring at Tang Tian's back, the Icefire Demon Emperor's Clone didn't know what to say.
He knew Tang Tian was a great Prodigy!
However, he hadn't expected Tang Tian to be such a Prodigy.
This guy was simply an utterly monstrous Prodigy!
Truly terrifying!
While the Icefire Demon Emperor's Clone was lost in thought, Tang Tian had already comprehended various Great Daos.
In less than an hour, he had comprehended all the Great Daos in the world.
Or, it could also be said that the Profound Truths he had comprehended had successfully transformed into Great Daos.
Now, Tang Tian officially possessed the means of a Saint.
He could use the Great Dao to fight his enemies!
Slowly opening his eyes, Tang Tian's face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.
However, his smile didn't last long before it froze.
In his heart, he also smiled bitterly.
He had just fully comprehended all Great Daos!
These Great Dao energies around him were completely devoured by the Mysterious Purple Pearl?
Not only that!
The entire energy of the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower was also devoured.
Ultimately, the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower was completely annihilated.
But thankfully, Nie Keke had already fully received the Icefire Demon Emperor's Legacy.
Otherwise, it would have been a huge loss.
As the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower was annihilated, the two directly landed on the nearby plaza.
“Tang Tian, what was that just now?” Nie Keke asked, blinking in confusion.
“The Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower was annihilated,” Tang Tian said, rubbing his nose and smiling awkwardly.
He was growing increasingly curious about the origin of the Mysterious Purple Pearl.
What exactly was its background?
Logically, the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower should have been a top-tier Imperial Weapon, right?
Yet it was instantly annihilated because of it?
Including that Clone of the Icefire Demon Emperor?
Truly formidable!
Hearing Tang Tian's words, Nie Keke remained stunned for a long time.
The Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower, annihilated?
Are you kidding me?
This was the Demon Race's number one Imperial Weapon!
“Tang Tian, after we leave here, you must not mention this matter.”
“Otherwise…” Nie Keke warned, leaning closer to Tang Tian.
“I know,” Tang Tian said, pausing slightly before nodding.
At the same time, he was secretly filled with anticipation.
Were they finally leaving this place?
Next, it was time for him to see what the world where the Demon Race lived was truly like.
Also, he wondered if other Demon Race members would recognize him as a Human Race member.
If they could, then it would be troublesome.
After chatting for a while longer, Nie Keke told Tang Tian some things about the Demon Race, as well as various things to be aware of, before the two stepped onto the teleportation array.
Next, it was time for them to leave this Trial Secret Realm.
Inside a grand hall within the Demon Race Imperial Palace.
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Nie Feng's face showed an expression of disbelief.
The monitoring Formation within the Trial Secret Realm had actually collapsed?
In other words, from now on, their The Royal Family would have no way to continue monitoring the situation in the Trial Secret Realm.
“What exactly happened?” Breaking the silence, Nie Feng looked at Nie Wuwei and asked expressionlessly.
“Royal Brother, I’m afraid something happened to the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower,” Nie Wuwei speculated, a little uncertain, after a moment of hesitation.
“How is that possible?” Nie Feng waved his hand, his face full of disbelief.
Regarding the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower, aside from the The Royal Family, other Demon Race Royal Families were required to keep it a secret.
Even the powerful experts of other Royal Families were forced to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao not to reveal anything about the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower.
For example, not to tell those Prodigies?
Furthermore, the Prodigies who entered the Secret Realm for experience were only at the Yin Yang Realm strength.
How could a small Cultivator in the Yin Yang Realm cause an anomaly with the Demon Race's strongest Imperial Weapon?
What a joke!
“I also don't think that's possible.”
“However, if it's not that, then it's probably hard to explain, isn't it?” Nie Wuwei said cautiously, after a moment of hesitation.
Hearing Nie Wuwei's words, Nie Feng's face showed an uncertain, gloomy expression.
“In that case, use the Imperial Palace's teleportation array to enter the Trial Grounds Secret Realm.”
“Go and see what exactly is going on,” Nie Feng said, slowly standing up with his hands behind his back.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Although a little unwilling, Nie Wuwei still readily agreed.
Afterward, he left.
Not long after, Nie Wuwei appeared in the small Secret Realm of the Trial Grounds.
After entering the small Secret Realm, his strength was also suppressed to the Peak of the Dongtian Realm, Ninth Heaven.
When he arrived at the original location of the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower, Nie Wuwei was completely dumbfounded.
The Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower had actually disappeared without a trace?
What exactly was going on?
Without any hesitation, he immediately chose to send a message to Nie Feng.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Nie Feng appeared beside him.
“This is…” Scanning his surroundings, Nie Feng's face became extremely grim.
His eyes also showed an expression of disbelief.
Because he discovered something that he found hard to accept.
That was, their Demon Race's strongest Imperial Weapon seemed to have been annihilated?
Involuntarily, Nie Feng thought of Nie Keke.
Could it be because of this little girl?
“We're going to Lord Xiaoyaos Estate!” Nie Feng said with a cold snort and a gloomy face.
A chilling killing intent also burst forth from his eyes.
Without the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower, this Secret Realm was useless!
“Yes, Royal Brother!”
…On the other side, after Tang Tian and Nie Keke left the Secret Realm, they came before Lord Xiaoyao.
Immediately, Nie Keke briefly introduced the two to each other.
This girl even specifically mentioned all the help and kindness Tang Tian had shown her.
“A Human Race member?”
“If it were an ordinary Great Emperor, he probably wouldn't recognize you.”
However, Lord Xiaoyao seemed to have heard nothing at all.
He scrutinized Tang Tian, his eyes narrowed.
“Grandpa Nie, he's a little different from other Human Race members…” Nie Keke said nervously, spreading her arms in front of Tang Tian.
It was clear that she was worried her Grandpa Nie would attack Tang Tian.
Tang Tian rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly.
He also secretly cursed himself, how could he have forgotten this point?
Bloodline Power?
In an instant, he used the Spatial Dao to conceal the fluctuations of his Bloodline Power.
Immediately, Lord Xiaoyao, who was in front of the two, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
This kid's Bloodline Power fluctuations actually disappeared?
If he wasn't absolutely certain that Tang Tian was a Human Race member, he would have suspected he was hallucinating.
This Human Race kid in front of him was truly not simple!
After glancing at his precious granddaughter, Lord Xiaoyao wore a bitter smile.
This little girl... she truly was growing up and wouldn't stay!
"Don't worry! Grandpa isn't the kind of person who forgets kindness!"
Lord Xiaoyao glared at Nie Keke and scolded her with a smile.
"Let's go home first!"
Afterward, he added another sentence.
With that said, Lord Xiaoyao summoned a longsword and, carrying the three of them, flashed away in a certain direction.
Along the way, observing the scenery, Tang Tian was incredibly surprised.
The Demon Race truly wasn't just generally barren!
Everywhere around here was extremely desolate.
The various energies of heaven and earth were also very chaotic and violent.
Such a Cultivation environment was truly not just generally harsh.
When they arrived at Lord Xiaoyaos Estate, Tang Tian couldn't help but be stunned.
Lord Xiaoyaos Estate was very large!
However, it was also very poor!
The entire Lord Xiaoyaos Estate surprisingly didn't even have many servants?
Here, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was utterly destitute.
"Actually, our family was quite well-off before."
"It's just that, in recent years, Grandpa has used almost all resources to subsidize the soldiers, so..."
Seeing Tang Tian's gaze, Nie Keke, who was beside him, whispered.
"With Grandpa Nie's strength, earning resources shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Looking at Lord Xiaoyao with confusion, Tang Tian couldn't help but ask.
The feeling Lord Xiaoyao gave him was almost identical to the feeling his own Grandpa gave him.
What did this indicate?
Perhaps, the strength of the two of them was on par!
With absolute strength, wouldn't it be simple to earn resources?
"How could it be that simple?"
"In any place, Great Emperors cannot act casually."
"No one can bear the consequences of breaking the balance; that would lead to a series of chain reactions."
Sighing, Lord Xiaoyao said with a bitter smile.
If he could act as he pleased, would Lord Xiaoyaos Estate still be like this?
Lord Xiaoyao's words made Tang Tian a little slow to react.
Even Peak powerhouses had to be cautious?
That's ridiculous!
Aren't rules meant to be broken?
Seeing Tang Tian's expression, the experienced Lord Xiaoyao could easily guess what he was thinking.
Regarding this, he could only sigh deeply in his heart.
If things were that simple, it would be great!
Those old geezers from the The Royal Family had always been watching him!
To put it bluntly, they were doing it on purpose!
Before deciding to completely fall out, this old man really had to play along.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lord Xiaoyao looked in a certain direction.
"You two stay at home."
With that, he flew away.
In the blink of an eye, Lord Xiaoyao arrived in the Void Realm above Lord Xiaoyaos Estate.
In front of him stood two people.
Nie Feng!
Nie Wuwei!
"Your Majesty, and also the Ninth Prince, is there something you need by coming to this old man's mansion?"
Looking at the two calmly, Lord Xiaoyao asked expressionlessly.
"The Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower has been annihilated."
Staring at Lord Xiaoyao's face, Nie Feng said word by word.
"How is that possible?"
Instantly, Lord Xiaoyao was dumbfounded.
Seeing Lord Xiaoyao's reaction, Nie Feng and Nie Wuwei couldn't help but exchange glances.
Lord Xiaoyao didn't know either?
Then, what exactly was going on?
"This time, the only ones who left alive were Lord Xiaoyao's granddaughter and her follower, right?"
"Let the two of them come out to meet us!"
"This matter is of great importance; Lord Xiaoyao wouldn't be planning to refuse, would he?"
After a long silence, Nie Feng slowly said.
Beside him, Nie Wuwei also stared intently at Lord Xiaoyao.
At this moment, the atmosphere between the three was unusually tense.
"Alright."
After a long while, Lord Xiaoyao finally spoke with an unperturbed expression.
In the blink of an eye, the group of three arrived at Lord Xiaoyaos Estate.
Nie Feng and Nie Wuwei, by prior arrangement, began to size up Nie Keke and Tang Tian.
It was fine if they didn't look, but once they did, both were stunned.
They actually couldn't see through Nie Keke's Cultivation?
It was as if there was a mist surrounding this little girl?
Most ridiculously, Tang Tian looked even more like a weak scholar with no strength to bind a chicken.
Both of them knew very well what this implied.
These two youngsters in front of them had probably gained incredibly astonishing benefits in the Trial Grounds, right?
Without much further ado, Nie Feng directly asked about the situation of the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower.
"Your Majesty, is that tower the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower you mentioned?"
"It was still perfectly fine when we left!"
"It was annihilated, how is that possible?"
It must be said, Nie Keke's acting skills were truly not just generally impressive.
Similarly, Tang Tian was not to be outdone.
Both of them looked completely clueless!
Seeing their expressions and hearing Nie Keke's words, this Nie Feng kid was even more bewildered.
Could it be that some unknown change had occurred to the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower?
Damn it!
Finally, he still reluctantly left with Nie Wuwei.
Actually, Nie Feng did want to take Tang Tian and Nie Keke away.
However, he didn't want to fall out with Lord Xiaoyao just like that.
In his opinion, it was not yet the right time.
It wasn't until the two had left for a long while that Lord Xiaoyao looked at Tang Tian and Nie Keke.
He, the old man, didn't know much about Tang Tian.
But Nie Keke?
His precious granddaughter had definitely lied just now!
He could be certain of that!
"Ke Ke, you two, are you sure you don't know anything?"
Looking at his precious granddaughter, and then at Tang Tian, Lord Xiaoyao asked with a half-smile.
"Actually... we do know a little!"
Blinking, Nie Keke said with an innocent expression.
"The Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower was destroyed."
Smiling slightly, Nie Keke added another sentence.
"This..."
Although he had long known that the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower had been destroyed, receiving confirmation from his precious granddaughter still made Lord Xiaoyao feel a surge of disbelief.
Especially since this seemed to have a significant connection with his precious granddaughter and Tang Tian?
"What exactly is going on?"
Taking a deep breath, Lord Xiaoyao asked with no small amount of curiosity.
"After I obtained the Icefire Demon Emperor's Legacy, the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower destroyed itself."
Looking at her Grandpa, Nie Keke said with a mix of truth and fabrication.
It was true what she said!
However, what Nie Keke didn't say was that Tang Tian was the one who obtained the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower, and the annihilation of this Demon Race's strongest Imperial Weapon was definitely related to Tang Tian.
Perhaps because Nie Keke's words were too shocking!
This time, Lord Xiaoyao didn't notice anything amiss.
At this moment, his heart was filled with shock.
And also, full of pleasant surprise.
The Icefire Demon Emperor's Legacy?
He knew very well what that meant.
The Icefire Demon Emperor was the strongest Artifact Refiner in the Demon Race's history.
In fact, even looking across the entire Endless Continent, it was the same.
There were rumors that he died, and also rumors that he achieved Ascension.
As for what truly happened, that remained unknown.
But one thing was certain: the Icefire Demon Emperor's Legacy was extremely valuable.
"Ke Ke, let's keep this matter between ourselves; absolutely do not speak of it to outsiders."
After recovering his senses, Lord Xiaoyao earnestly reminded her.
He had reason to believe that if outsiders knew about this, it would definitely attract endless trouble.
The Icefire Demon Emperor's Legacy was enough to draw the covetous gazes of countless powerhouses.
Including some Peak Great Emperors, none would be an exception.
"Grandpa, I know."
Nodding with a light smile, Nie Keke said.
As the saying goes, some rejoice while others grieve.
Currently, Lord Xiaoyao was happy.
However, Nie Feng and Nie Wuwei were unable to feel happy at all.
Especially Nie Feng, his heart was filled with incomparable vexation.
With the annihilation of the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower, the most affected were undoubtedly their branch.
Aside from this current trial, when had their branch not gained the most?
But now, with the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower destroyed, wouldn't they be unable to profit from it in the future?
Such a result was truly difficult for them to accept.
Especially now, Nie Feng's heart was even more incomparably anxious.
Originally, according to the plan, the Sixth Prince was to become the new Demon Race Emperor soon.
But now... he truly doubted which of the remaining young Demon Race Prodigies would still be Nie Keke's opponent?
Could it be that this little girl was going to become the first female Emperor in Demon Race history?
Just thinking about it, his heart was filled with immense unwillingness.
"It seems we need to activate another plan!"
After returning to the Imperial Palace, Nie Feng said with narrowed eyes.
Hearing Nie Feng's words, Nie Wuwei's face couldn't help but undergo a drastic change.
Clearly, if possible, he was unwilling to activate the other plan.
However, in front of Nie Feng, he didn't have the courage to refute.
