Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 527 Heavenly Venerable's Decree, A Single Ninth-Order Technique

Since the rise of the lich and the demons, who divided the world, countless years have passed. It is worth mentioning that this period has not been peaceful.

The Lich and Demon races would fight every now and then. Sometimes it was just a small conflict that only affected a few small tribes, but sometimes it would unleash a terrible massacre that shattered the heavens and the earth and dimmed the stars.

Conflict is the engine of world development, and driven by the conflict between the lich and the demons, both sides have made great progress, with both races constantly producing and losing eighth-tier beings.

Of the 365 demon gods in the Heavenly Court, most are already at the eighth rank. Although it is unknown how many of them are incarnations of the eighth rank, this has greatly enhanced the Heavenly Court's foundation.

The Wu tribe also produced many more great shamans, who were scattered among various tribes to guard their respective areas, also in order to resist the occasional attacks by the demon tribe.

The conflict between the lich and the demons continued day after day, and the primordial essence of the world was also rapidly recovering in the midst of the daily conflict.

"The primordial essence has almost fully recovered. When do you plan to resolve the matter of the Witch Clan?"

"Heavenly Court," Chen Xingzhi, who had been invited to the banquet, inquired.

The Heavenly Emperor Yanyang, sitting opposite him, was not in a hurry at all. While reviewing the memorials, he replied:
"There's no rush. I'm already 70% certain that there's a mastermind behind the Wu Clan."

"You mean...that president?"

“That’s right. I have fought against the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation many times and have long sensed that something is wrong with it.” He raised his hand and pointed, and a beam of spiritual light entered Chen Xingzhi’s forehead.

After he had digested the spiritual light in an instant, he heard the Flaming Sun Heavenly Emperor say, "Every time we fight, I can sense that the power and principles contained in the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation have increased."

However, after the great formation dissipated, there were not many remaining Dao principles or power on Zhu Jiuyin's body. It was likely that those Dao principles had been transferred to the body of some unknown Ancestral Witch, waiting for a chance to be reborn through possession.

The Lord of the Robbery frowned, then relaxed his gaze. "So what? Even in his prime, he couldn't beat us. Even if he were to be reborn, what difference would it make?"

Besides, if that's really the case, shouldn't we eliminate this threat sooner? Why are we still allowing the witch clan to grow stronger?

"The Witch Clan still has great uses." The Heavenly Emperor Yanyang didn't even look up. "In this era of primordial chaos, there was no Nuwa. The origin of the human race in later generations still depends on us to create it."

This is something we agreed upon before, but we haven't been able to get anywhere with it, so we've put it aside for the time being. Now that we have this witch clan, I've had a bold idea."

Chen Xingzhi easily guessed his thoughts: "You want to use the witch clan to create the human race?"

“Yes, Wu, don’t you think this race has a strong connection with the human race?” Emperor Yanyang laughed.

Fate? Indeed, fate. After all, it was said by the Heavenly Emperor himself that even if there was no fate, he would force a connection.

"How do you plan to transform a sorcerer into a human?" Chen Xingzhi asked again.

The Heavenly Emperor Yanyang put the memorial he had just finished reviewing aside and replied, "If you want to transform the witches into humans, you must first eliminate the hidden dangers in the witch clan's bloodline."

In other words, we need to kill that Grand Commander again to completely eradicate any remaining traces of him from the bloodline of the Witch Clan.

After he finished speaking, he paused, then continued:

"At that time, I estimate we'll need your help to get rid of that old geezer who's still not dead."

“That’s how it should be.” Chen Xingzhi nodded.

As the two were talking, a ray of light suddenly shone down, and then an object resembling a decree appeared from the light.

The imperial edict, seemingly woven from clouds, appeared exceptionally fragile, as if even a slight breeze could tear it apart. Yet, it instilled a sense of formidable dread in the two seated figures. The fact that it could bypass the Heavenly Court's numerous defenses and be delivered to them without their knowledge was truly astonishing.

"Who delivered this decree?" The Heavenly Emperor Yanyang looked wary, not daring to touch the decree that resembled a tapestry woven from clouds.

Chen Xingzhi thought of the same thing. He immediately thought of those ninth-rank beings and said, "It must be a ninth-rank technique. I wonder if it is the Celestial Venerable of the Vault of Heaven or the Celestial Venerable of the Cloud Sea."

Yunhai Tianzun? Both of them were taken aback, and two completely different memories in their minds clashed.

"Yunhai Tianzun, the master of the ancient divine court, a ninth-order powerhouse who existed at the beginning of the era, apart from Qiongtian Tianzun? No, why does my other memory show that he was only an eighth-order powerhouse before?"

The conflicting memories made both of them frown. In their view, these two different memories did not seem to have been inserted suddenly, but rather seemed to have existed for a long time.

This memory confusion lasted only a moment and quickly subsided, and the two of them relaxed their brows again.

"It can even interfere with our memories. It seems that person has already advanced to the ninth rank. This decree was probably issued by that person."

Chen Xingzhi looked at the decree again and sensed a familiar aura from it. Who else could it be but Yunhai Tianzun?

The wariness in his eyes lessened slightly. He exchanged a glance with the Heavenly Emperor Yanyang, and then simultaneously waved his hand to summon the decree before him, whereupon he began to read it carefully.

"It really is that person's decree. It seems that what that person said about protecting my path was not false."

As soon as Chen Xingzhi finished reading the contents of the Heavenly Venerable's decree, he understood the reason why the Heavenly Venerable Yunhai had issued this decree, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The decree told him that he would face a calamity during his advancement, just as when Yunhai Tianzun was advancing, he witnessed the fall of his two close friends one after another, and could only waver between taking action and not taking action.

Even if he attains enlightenment through tribulation, he cannot escape this tribulation; at most, it will allow him to be aware of it in advance and make preparations accordingly.

As the master of the calamity path, no one can surpass him in his understanding of calamities. With the guidance of the decree, he also vaguely sensed the source of the calamity.

"To achieve the ninth level of transcendence, one must first endure countless tribulations. The Witch Clan, no, that Grand Commander should be considered my greatest tribulation before my advancement."

After a moment's thought, Chen Xingzhi instructed the Heavenly Emperor Yanyang to put away the decree and save it for future use.

After he read it, the writing on the decree disappeared, and it returned to being a blank decree.

But both the Heavenly Emperor Yanyang and Chen Xingzhi understood that this did not mean it had lost its power; on the contrary, it made it easier for them to use it.

A blank Heavenly Decree represents the content written by Chen Xingzhi, which is the will of the Heavenly Venerable Yunhai.

With such a powerful, one-time-use ninth-tier weapon, who could possibly defeat him? Impossible!

The Heavenly Emperor Yanyang put away the decree and suggested, "Since that Grand Commander is my tribulation, we should have Zhujiuyin make some preparations in advance. It wouldn't be shameful to use some underhanded tactics."

Although he had the Heavenly Venerable's decree at his disposal, he did not believe that he was safe and sound.

It should be noted that when Yunhai Tianzun was advancing to the ninth rank, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon unleashed his full power at the critical moment of life and death, his strength approaching that of the Lord of Tribulations at that time.

Who knows if his fate will also bring a breakthrough at the last minute?
