CULTIVATING IN SECRET BESIDE A DEMONESS

Chapter 1443: The Fallen Immortal Clan’s Determination (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“How do we treat all living beings?” The middle-aged man smiled. “We’ll restore the order of the world, of course.”

“Restore the order?” The old man laughed. “What does your ‘normal’ look like? The world before the Human Emperor or after?”

“The human race has always been mediocre at best and belongs at the bottom of the chain,” the middle-aged man.

“Hahaha… Cough! Cough!” The old smoke man laughed and almost choked. “You lot have really forgotten the pain. Even after what happened with the Human Emperor, you think humans are just ordinary. You do know that the human race rules the world now. It might be difficult for you to surpass them just by establishing the Supreme Immortal Court.”

“What if we include the Dragon Clan, the Black Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, the Heavenly Saint Sect, the Demon Clan, the Witch Clan, the Chimera Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Giant Spirit Clan?” the middle-aged man asked.

The old man was a little surprised. “This strategy seems familiar.”

“Yes, back then, the Human Emperor united these races to fight against our Fallen Immortal Clan. Now, can’t we unite these races to oppose the human race? I admit the human race is formidable now, but can they withstand our combined assault? As for how to convince these races, that’s none of your concern,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

“So, you’re confident that you can reclaim the East Heavenly Pole?” asked the old man.

“With the right timing, the right place, and the right people, we have all the advantages. This time, the Fallen Immortal Clan will not fail,” the middle-aged man said.

The old man nodded. “We shall see…”

The middle-aged man looked at the person in front of him and asked, “Would you consider rejoining the Fallen Immortal Clan?”

“Rejoin?” The old man laughed heartily. “I’m not part of the Fallen Immortal Clan anymore. I’m just an old man who is addicted to smoking tobacco now.”

“Fine. Then, just watch quietly and don’t intervene,” the middle-aged man said.

He had come this time out of concern that the person in front of him might interfere.

The old man nodded.

After that, the middle-aged man left.

Three days later, a group of five arrived at the Immortal Gazing Platform.

The leader of the group was a young man who appeared drunk. He looked disheveled.

Beside him stood a refined gentleman in a white robe. He held a folding fan.

His restrained aura gave off a sense of immense power and caught the attention of the old man.

“Today’s young people are truly remarkable. The one I saw before was impressive, but this one is even more so,” said the old man.

The three people behind them were confused.

Why had they come here?

Xu Bai did not understand.

He did not sense anything unusual about the old man in front of him.

Si Cheng sipped his wine and walked up to the old man. “Senior, you’re truly something. I never expected you to be here. I’ve been to the South many times, but this is the first time I’ve noticed you.”

“The first time?” The old man, who was sitting on a stone platform, sneered. “You two were just pretending not to see me, weren’t you?”

“Senior, you jest.” Si Cheng bowed.

“Others like to pretend to be old and wise, but you humans keep pretending to be young. Calling me ‘Senior’ as though you are so young yourself. Don’t you feel embarrassed? You’re quite old, too.” The old man chuckled.

“Senior, you’re joking. You’re still much older,” Si Cheng said seriously.

“For a normal person, the difference between twenty and thirty years old is indeed not small. But when you get old, the difference between seventy and eighty doesn’t seem that big.” The old smoke blew a cloud of smoke.

Si Cheng laughed. “Senior seems to know a lot about everything here.”

“Did you come all the way here just to ask these questions?” asked the old man. “You’re not the first.”

“The Fallen immortal Clan was here too?” Si Cheng asked.

“Yes, they are determined to succeed,” said the old man.

“Is there a way to stop them?” Si Cheng asked.

“Try and see, but it doesn’t look optimistic for you,” the old smoke said.

“Do you know about Smiling San Sheng?” the old smoke man asked curiously.

“A little…” Si Cheng said with a smile.

Then, he told him about Smiling San Sheng.

He told the old man that the man in question was unpredictable. He was considered the greatest of all time who had managed to lead the Twelve Heavenly Kings to immortality and carve out his own immortal path.

Five years after becoming an immortal, he had already reached the late stage of the True Immortal Realm and killed the Five Demons overseas.

In addition, he had a huge beef with the Fallen Immortal Clan.

The old man’s mouth fell open, and he forgot about his cigarette.

It took him a while to regain his composure. “He’s truly dangerous. Can your human race tolerate such a monster?”

“What about the Fallen Immortal Clan?” Si Cheng asked. “Can they?”

“Setting aside his grudge against the Immortal Clan… even without it, he wouldn’t be tolerated, especially since he is human…” The old man sighed.

“There aren’t many in the human race who can tolerate him, either. Most people just want to know the secrets he holds,” Si Cheng said with a sigh. “The secret is too big. Many people want to know about it. They wonder if it can help them reach their peak. Faced with such temptation, few can resist. Moreover, if someone were to reach the pinnacle by relying on his secrets, it would mean being bound by him. Too many are unwilling to accept that, just like the Fallen Immortal Clan once was.”

The Fallen Immortal Clan was once supreme, but the human race, led by the Human Emperor, rose to prominence.

No one wanted to be second, and there was inevitably a cataclysmic battle.

The human race had become the leading force. They were number one in the world.

But the Dragon Clan, the Immortal Clan, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, and others like them did not like it.

In the past, even the Human Emperor was disliked. They did not like being overshadowed.

Many races would rather see the Fallen Immortal Clan return to the top than let the races they once oppressed become the world’s focus.

Si Cheng did not dwell on it.

Instead, he took out some pictures. “Senior, do you know these?”

The images he showed were of the secret realms created by the prodigies of the eastern region.

“When the Human Emperor was being hunted, he encountered this secret realm. It’s said to contain endless opportunities, but the Human Emperor didn’t enter because they were of no use to him. As for its origin, it seems to have some connection to the Fallen Immortal Clan. It’s best not to let the Fallen Immortal Clan know about it, or there will surely be trouble,” said the old man as a warning.

“Thank you, Senior.” Si Cheng hesitated for a moment. “Senior, do you think the Fallen Immortal Clan will succeed this time?”

“In establishing the Supreme Immortal Court?” the old smoke asked.

Si Cheng nodded.

“It’s hard to say, but with the coming of this Great Era, it might be the most likely time for them to succeed,” said the old man.

Si Cheng sighed and took a sip of wine. “It seems like this era will be a time of chaos. I wonder if the wine industry will be affected.”

“Indeed,” said the old man as he took a puff of his smoke. “I also wonder if tobacco production will be affected.”

The two looked at each other and then sighed together.

Xu Bai was speechless.

Although their conversation shocked him, this was a bit too much.

“What things are required to establish the Supreme Immortal Court?” Si Cheng asked.

The old man took a drag on his pipe and then exhaled heavily.

“According to records, the Three Heavens Beyond the Heaven is necessary, but there should be other records, and there may be other changes. I don’t know the specifics, not even the Immortal Clan does—they’re still exploring. Apart from these, there’s also the construction of the Four Extremities of Heaven and Earth, and the need for an Underworld Realm. The establishment of the Three Realms requires a complete order. As far as is known, anything can be gathered except the Three Heavens Beyond Heaven, which is the most difficult.”

After talking for a while, they both fell silent.

After that, Si Cheng and his group headed to the Heavenly Note Sect.

The old smoke man shook his head and sighed.

“The Great Era is indeed the Great Era. The Fallen Immortal Clan rises, yet the human race shows no signs of defeat. I wonder who will emerge victorious in the end.” The old man was curious.

In every era, there were always some experts who dominated the world.

…

In the West, Yan Yuezhi remained in front of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

While she waited for Situ Jingjing, she discussed the immortal path with Disciple Shang An.

The more she discussed, the more astonished she became. She had learned a lot.

She stayed where she was.

During the day, she held an umbrella by herself.

In the rain, she held the umbrella for the person in front of her.

Of course, they did not talk about anything else. They only discussed the immortal path.

Sometimes, Yan Yuezhi would ask Disciple Shang An how long he planned to kneel at this gate.

“Until my Master agrees to meet me,” he said.

Yan Yuezhi was not surprised by the answer and continued talking with him.

Even when it snowed, she did not leave.

She held an umbrella over him.

It was not until the middle of November that Yan Yuezhi received news of Situ Jingjing.

Only then did she bid farewell to Disciple Shang An. “I’ll leave this umbrella for you, Senior. I have to go now, but if I have the chance, I’ll come back to seek more guidance.”

Disciple Shang An nodded but politely rejected the offer of the umbrella.

Yan Yuezhi put the umbrella away and left.
