NOVPUBAlthough they were now two completely different people, it could still be considered a peculiar form of reincarnation!
The white-haired elder felt that this mysterious Dao Wufeng was most likely the reincarnation of a Martial Saint, a Son of God!
The powers contained within the bloodlines of these Sons of God would allow them to re-cultivate and review their innate skills effortlessly, mastering them with ease.
It was very possible that Su Changkong’s ability to shape a Blade Soul with his Blade Intent in three months was due to his ’Ancestors of Martial Saint’ having already reached that realm. Hence, with the legacy of his bloodline, he was able to achieve this step!
Su Changkong was naturally unaware that the white-haired elder before him believed him to be the so-called reincarnation of a Martial Saint.
"Old Liu, I’ll be leaving now."
Su Changkong was in a good mood, greeted the white-haired elder, and then set off. He was going to the Demon Suppressing Department to meet Duanmu Tao and inquire if there was any news about the Evil Sects and Demon Gates.
"Indeed, chaos has erupted... Previously, within a hundred years, it was rare for the Great Flame Empire to see the birth of one or two ’Sons of God’, but now, in the Shi Family, the Mu Family, and even within the Xia Yan family, Sons of God have been born. This turmoil… It’s affecting the entire ten kingdoms!"
The white-haired elder watched Su Changkong’s departing figure, his own feelings quite complex.
In past eras, the birth of a Son of God with Bloodline Regression was an absolute focal point, dominating the scene. But now, just from the information known to the white-haired elder, there were no fewer than five Sons of God with Bloodline Regression!
These were the changes brought about by the ’Great Tide’, where ancient beings and past powerhouses were reviving in the same era to pursue higher and stronger realms!
Great Flame City, Demon Suppressing Department.
Su Changkong met Duanmu Tao.
"Brother Blade... you persevered for three months in the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb? It seems like you have gained quite a lot!"
To Duanmu Tao’s surprise, he had initially estimated that Su Changkong would last at most for half a month, but now he had just emerged from the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb.
"Indeed, I’ve had some gains," Su Changkong shook his head and did not elaborate further. He inquired, "Lord Duanmu, the intelligence I entrusted you to gather, have you received any news?"
What Su Changkong needed to do now was to enhance his strength. He required a large amount of Innate Qi to break through with his Turtle Breath Technique. He wanted to visit the Evil Sects and Demon Gates to condense Innate Qi from their Spirit Veins. This way, Su Changkong would not feel any psychological burden, and he would also be able to harvest a vast amount of Innate Qi!
Duanmu Tao’s expression turned serious as he said, "Indeed, I have collected some information. I have organized it. Brother Blade, you can take a look for yourself."
The Evil Sects and Demon Gates were adept at concealing themselves. To have survived until now, they all boasted profound foundations. As the Lord of the Demon Suppressing Department, Duanmu Tao held high authority, and the intelligence at his disposal was not something ordinary people could compare to.
Even though these sects were well-hidden, he was still able to gather relevant information through various channels.
"Thank you, Lord Duanmu."
Duanmu Tao handed a large scroll to Su Changkong, who reached out to take it and expressed his thanks.
Duanmu Tao shook his head. Not to mention Su Changkong’s previous rescue, these Evil Sects and Demon Gates were enemies of the Demon Suppressing Department. With Su Changkong, a powerful Five-Qi Grandmaster, willing to act against them, Duanmu Tao naturally offered his full support.
Simultaneously, Duanmu Tao cautioned, "Brother Blade, I know you are powerful, but these Evil Sects and Demon Gates are not entities to be taken lightly. Especially recently, the Evil Sects and Demon Gates have been making significant moves, and it seems that something is going on. You must be careful."
"Hmm."
Su Changkong nodded, aware of this point.
He then carefully studied the intelligence provided by Duanmu Tao.
The information was quite detailed, introducing the Evil Sects and Demon Gates and the basic details of their experts.
For most of these sects, there was very little information; even the locations of their sect headquarters were unknown. The intelligence only contained information on seven or eight Evil Sects and Demon Gates, all collected by the Yan Imperial Family.
"Heavenly Corpse Sect, one of the Eighteen Evil Sects, is proficient in Corpse Refining Technique, rumored to be able to refine the bodies of powerful martial artists into leading corpses. Their sect headquarters is located in the Corpse Poison Mountain, a treacherous place outside the territory of the Flame Empire to the north.
"Blood Demon Door, one of the Thirty-six Demon Gates, this sect is adept at the blood refining method, sinister and vicious. The sect headquarters is set in Blood Demon Mountain to the north of the Flame Empire. The Sect Master, Blood Demon Child, is unfathomably powerful, having claimed the lives of three Five-Qi Grandmasters."
"Nine Nether Gate, one of the Thirty-six Demon Gates..."
…
Su Changkong meticulously went through the intelligence report.
The recorded practices of these Evil Sects and Demon Gates were deviant and their cultivation techniques bizarre to the extreme. The number of heinous deeds they had committed was countless.
One of the reasons they had not been exterminated was the profound foundations of these sects. Another was that they were located in areas beyond the control of any nation.
Moreover, they were crazy enough that if anyone struck against them and failed to annihilate them completely, the consequences would involve harsh retaliation, and not many were willing to provoke such madmen.
"I’ll start with the Profound Darkness Sect."
Ultimately, Su Changkong locked on to one of the sects recorded in the intelligence. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Profound Darkness Sect, as recorded in the information given to him by Duanmu Tao, was located on Profound Darkness Mountain outside the territory of the Flame Empire to the west.
The Profound Darkness Sect specialized in techniques that could absorb others’ hard-earned cultivation, undeniably a fearsome existence!
The disciples of the Profound Darkness Sect were few, but each of them possessed deep cultivation that belied their appearance.
"Let’s take a trip to Profound Darkness Mountain!"
Su Changkong immediately set off for Profound Darkness Mountain.
