A discussion
Anyway, that's the truth. He, the Nether Ancestor, did indeed fight a real battle with Lu Jiu, this unfamiliar Nascent Soul Cultivator.
The intense Law Technique fluctuations in the sky are not something that can be faked; they are solid evidence.
Moreover, he could easily fabricate the details of the battle to Under His Command Disciple afterward, and who would back down first would depend entirely on his word.
However, all of this comes with one condition: Su Bai's demands must not be too outrageous.
If Su Bai's demands are too excessive, he will not give up easily.
"Is this the end?" Su Bai chuckled lightly and said, "Nether Ancestor, are you perhaps scared?"
The Nether Ancestor grinned, revealing a faint smile, and replied, "Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. I just feel that continuing this endless fighting is not beneficial to either of us."
While listening to the Old Ancestor's words, Su Bai quickly restored his Spiritual Power.
Speaking of which, the [Child of Earth Yin] Talent is truly amazing. Su Bai's Spiritual Power has recovered to seventy or eighty percent in a short period of time. If this continues, as long as he continues to wear down the Nether Ancestor, Su Bai will surely be the ultimate victor.
However, Su Bai was also well aware that the Nether Ancestor still had a trump card to play— the Nether Cave Heaven he controlled.
He traverses the Grotto-Heaven, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Once it unleashes its Grotto-Heaven, Su Bai currently doesn't really have a good way to keep it in place.
Unless Su Bai had made prior preparations and set up a special Magic Array targeting the Grotto-Heaven, there might still be a chance to intercept the Grotto-Heaven or even forcibly invade it.
However, it was clear that the Nether Ancestor was not a fool and would not step into the Magic Array that Su Bai had entered beforehand.
The Nether Ancestor's face was ashen. He slowly raised his hand and gently waved it. A black barrier suddenly rose up like a huge wall, completely blocking the view of the surging Palace of Reincarnation Disciple.
This was to keep the conversation between Su Bai and him confidential.
Within the barrier, the voice of the Nether Ancestor clearly rang out. "Fellow Old Ancestor, it is not that I fear you, but continuing the fight will not benefit either of us." Although he was actively seeking peace, his tone was extremely calm.
Then, the Nether Ancestor's voice lowered slightly as he continued, "I have already witnessed your Combat Power. With your Sword Dao Cultivation, you are a rare talent in the world. You are certainly not an unknown figure even in the Tian Nan."
His words revealed his recognition of the other party's strength, while also implying that Su Bai's identity was not difficult to ascertain.
The Old Ancestor Nether Ancestor paused slightly, seemingly observing Su Bai's reaction, before continuing, "If I were to truly abandon this Palace of Reincarnation and leave to pursue your origins, are you absolutely certain you could stop me?"
This statement was both a threat and a test; he wanted to see if the other party would be wary of it.
Finally, the Nether Ancestor's tone softened somewhat, and he suggested, "In that case, why don't we both calm down and have a proper talk? If we can resolve this matter peacefully, that would naturally be the most appropriate course of action."
His words, seemingly a plea for peace, were actually giving the other party a way out while also leaving himself an escape route.
It must be said that the Nether Ancestor's words were a combination of soft and hard tactics. He demonstrated his strength and determination while also putting pressure on the other party and giving them a choice. He truly lived up to his reputation as a cunning and shrewd fox.
Su Bai smiled faintly, "Talk is certainly possible, but, Nether Ancestor, as you said, I am indeed not an unknown figure outside of Tian Nan."
"However, the Cultivation World I inhabit is called the Demon Star Sea. In the Demon Star Sea, there are at least two Nascent Soul Cultivator whose Combat Power surpasses mine."
"Are you sure you want to go to the Demon Star Sea to seek your death?"
Upon hearing this, the Nether Ancestor hesitated. The Demon Star Sea and the Heavenly Star Alliance —those Nascent Soul Cultivator there were indeed ridiculously strong.
When the Netherworld Ancestor was in the Golden Core stage, he traveled to various cultivation worlds to increase his chances of forming a Nascent Soul.
The furthest I've ever been is the Demon Star Sea, where I had the good fortune to witness the Combat the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star and the Demon King of the Demon Race Clan.
"So, fellow Daoist, you come from the Demon Star Sea." Netherworld nodded slightly.
"Fellow Daoist, please tell me, what is the purpose of your visit to my Palace of Reincarnation?" Netherworld's tone weakened further.
The Human Race of Demon Star Sea has been fighting against the Demon Race and the Sea Tribe for many years.
The Cultivator had been in perilous situations for a long time, and their Combat Strength was indeed far superior to that of the long-peaceful Tian Nan.
Su Bai crossed his arms and said, "It's simple. I want to cultivate the [Five Elements Rotation Technique]."
"However, without the concept of the Five Elements Mutual Generation as a reference, the mystery of this Five Elements is extremely difficult to grasp."
"Today I have seen that the Nether Ancestor has already grasped many Principles of Five Elements Mutual Generation, and must therefore possess Five Elements Land. I humbly request that the Nether Ancestor lend me this Treasured Land."
Upon hearing this, the Nether Ancestor smiled and shook his head, "Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I do not possess the Five Elements Land."
Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? How did you master such a profound Five Elements Rotation Technique?"
Su Bai and the Nether Ancestor were both Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator. Although Su Bai was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, his Combat Power had already been recognized by the Nether Ancestor after the battle.
The Netherworld Ancestor no longer concealed anything and spoke directly, "I have absorbed the soul memories of many Golden Core disciples from the five lineages of the Samsara Palace who have made mistakes."
The Nether Ancestor continued, recounting his cultivation process. "After absorbing the Soul Memory, it wasn't enough. I spent over a hundred years to finally master the basics of the [Five Elements Rotation Technique]."
The Nether Ancestor continued, "After that, I spent over a hundred years finally completing half of the [Five Elements Demonic Fiend Art]."
It absorbed the souls of Golden Core Stage Disciple and spent hundreds of years creating a semi-finished product.
One can imagine how difficult this is.
As for the matter of murdering his Disciple, the Nether Ancestor showed no remorse whatsoever.
After all, he was the Demonic Path Ancestor, and in his mind, it was perfectly normal to treat the Palace of Reincarnation Disciple as Cultivation Material.
Therefore, when the Nether Ancestor recounted his process and methods of cultivating the Tier 4 Divine Ability, his tone even revealed a hint of pride.
Indeed, in this world, there are very few Nascent Soul Cultivator qualified to cultivate Tier 4 Divine Ability.
Moreover, most people only consider cultivating Tier 4 Divine Ability after they have become Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage.
The Nether Ancestor was able to do this at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and what he cultivated was such a complex and powerful Five Elements Demonic Art, which is undoubtedly the most outstanding among Tier 4 Divine Ability.
It's natural for him to have a bit of arrogance.
"So, they don't even have the Five Elements Land, and they rely on absorbing the Soul Memory of the Disciple ' souls to grasp the Five Elements Principle?"
"Could it be that the existence of the Palace of Reincarnation Five Meridians was solely to satisfy the cultivation needs of the successive Old Ancestor, and that's why they were established separately?"
With this thought in mind, Su Bai's attitude towards the Palace of Reincarnation changed drastically.
This is hardly a majestic Devil Dao Sect; it's nothing more than pitiful expendable resources used as Cultivation Material.
"Since there is no Five Elements Land, then give me some methods for cultivating the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Five Elements Fusion Transformation. If you can satisfy me, I will let your Palace of Reincarnation go," Su Bai said.
Su Bai's aura completely overwhelmed the Nether Ancestor, Nether Ancestor began to consider the feasibility of the matter.
The Nether Ancestor was indeed a person of extraordinary talent. He stayed in Tian Nan by himself and created the Five Elements Demonic Art, a powerful Five Elements Divine Ability.
In the Heavenly Star Alliance, its Combat Power is probably only surpassed by the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star.
After a long while, the Nether Ancestor nodded. "I can give you the basic cultivation experience of the [Five Elements Rotation Technique]."
"As for the [Five Elements Demonic Fiend Art], that's Divine Ability I created myself. I can't possibly teach it to you, and besides, you're not Disciple of the Demonic Path, so learning it wouldn't benefit you."
Su Bai nodded. "Of course, you can hand over the entire cultivation experience manual for the [Five Elements Rotation Technique] to me first."
With the cultivation experience of a renowned Old Ancestor, and given Su Bai's already considerable Five Elements Talent, mastering the [Five Elements Rotation Technique] became much easier.
The [Five Elements Rotation Technique] is a basic Divine Ability that Five Elements Fusion.
Mastering the [Five Elements Rotation Technique] allows one to understand the knowledge of the Five Elements Mutual Fusion, which can support Su Bai in creating the Grand Five Elements Sword Array.
The Nether Ancestor also needed Su Bai's promise, "You must Dao Heart Oath, and after I give you the Cultivation Manual, you will not be allowed to harm me or the Palace of Reincarnation again."
Su Bai said, "What's the big deal? I'll swear it right now."
Su Bai pointed two fingers to the sky and Dao Heart Oath, "As long as I obtain satisfactory cultivation experience regarding the Five Elements Mutual Fusion from you, Nether Ancestor, I will no longer cause trouble for the Palace of Reincarnation or you, Nether Ancestor."
