Chapter 485 - Cloud Devil Pool (1/2)

If his name was exposed, the person who uttered it would receive the most severe punishment from Heavenly Law?

Zhou Xuanji raised his eyebrows; just what kind of atrocity had that old fellow committed for Heavenly Law to target him like that?

He did not continue to ask; Mo Jiuqing most likely did not know either.

Who would tell others about such a humiliating thing?

For example, everyone in the Divine Cliff had thought that Sovereign Xuan was the most powerful. However, because that fellow had provoked Heavenly Law, he had long since fallen.

The two of them did not continue to chat and focused on refining magic energy.

News about their battle with Divine Lord Ji did not spread because there were no other living creatures around.

Half a month later, the two of them headed to the Cloud Devil Pool.

The Cloud Devil Pool was a large lake that had existed for countless years, and it was bigger than some oceans. Legends said that the Cloud Devil had fallen here, causing there to always be demonic qi above the lake.

This was a holy land for people of the demonic path, and it had once been sealed by the Sovereign Demon Sect.

Now that the Sovereign Demon Sect had been expelled, the Cloud Devil Pool once again became an ownerless place.

In the current Center God Province, it was difficult to find any demonic cultivators.

One of Zhou Xuanji and Mo Jiuqing’s Senior Apprentice Brothers hid here. He had once been a First Class Great Emperor and was unrivaled. However, after becoming bedevilled, he went crazy and hid in the Cloud Devil Lake, and he did not leave from there.

Within his control was a Saint Sword.

Back then, he had used this Saint Sword to paint the skies blood-red and turn the ground barren.

“What is this Senior Apprentice Brother’s name? What was his ranking on the Great Emperor Stele?” Zhou Xuanji asked out of curiosity. He could hear the respect in Mo Jiuqing’s voice when he talked about him.

He was very curious what kind of expert could make Mo Jiuqing feel so much admiration.

“He was named Xu Qing, and he had the honorific title of Northern Nether Sword Devil. He was ranked ninth on the Great Emperor Stele,” Mo Jiuqing replied, a flicker of zeal in his eyes.

Xu Qing?

Zhou Xuanji raised his eyebrows and thought of Xu Yang.

Daoya Old Man felt that Xu Yang was the reincarnation of a powerful being, but he had not yet figured out which powerful being it was.

There was only one character difference between his name and Xu Qing, but there was a world of difference between them.

Zhou Xuanji continued to ask, “How many disciples does the old man have? Why are they all so ridiculous?”

Mo Jiuqing gave a light smile and said, “I have over ten Senior Apprentice Brothers above me; you can take a guess for yourself. Apart from you, Di Guanlong is the most junior one, and he has reached the Universe Heaven realm and is incredibly majestic in the Center God Province.

“To date, the old man has not gathered all of us together before, and he only gave us a divine ability to allow us to telepathically communicate. However, it does not allow us to see the other person’s appearance. When you break through to the Universe Heaven realm, he will teach it to you too.

“What is interesting is that when we use the divine ability to communicate, he never joins in; it seems that he’s not afraid of us rebelling against him.”

Zhou Xuanji was quite interested as he listened; the old man’s abilities seemed neverending.

…

Zhou Xuanji then asked, “What does he ask of you guys? Or is there something you have to do?”

Mo Jiuqing frowned and said, “It’s quite strange; he’s never asked anything of us before. He has only taught us divine abilities and never asked for anything in return.”

Zhou Xuanji blinked.

Was there really such a selfless person in the world?

…

The Cloud Devil Pool was surrounded by mountains, and the lake was incredibly vast and endless. Demonic qi that seemed to cover the sky and hide the sun hung above the lake, and in front of the demonic qi, the surrounding mountains felt quite small.

From a distance, it was as if there was a massive devil crawling above the Cloud Devil Pool.

Zhou Xuanji and Mo Jiuqing landed on a hill and looked out at the Cloud Devil Pool.

“We can’t forcefully attack if we want to take the Saint Sword from Xu Qing. He has already lost his reason and can easily be angered. Even together, it will be difficult for us to defeat him,” Mo Jiuqing said in a low voice. Hearing this, Zhou Xuanji raised his eyebrows.

He was that difficult to deal with?

He had not said such a thing when facing Divine Lord Ji.

Zhou Xuanji’s expression did not change and waited for Mo Jiuqing to continue to speak.
