Past Events of the Epoch, the Cause of the Great Upheaval

Within the Nine Mountains Realm, the Heavenly Emperor Body heard discussions emanating from the Three Enclosures and Four Symbols:

"The Tianhe Upheaval? What Tianhe Upheaval? Wasn't the Tianhe Sect destroyed by the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor?"

"What does this have to do with the Four Sects?"

"Yes, the Tianhe Sect was doing just fine before."

Their doubts are perfectly normal.

The fact that Venerable Tianhe was betrayed is known to only a few people and can be considered Xuanwei and taboo subject.

In the eyes of many, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor is the mortal enemy of the Tianhe Sect.

They were unaware of these things and, watching the live stream, naturally found it all baffling.

In the scene, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor speaks.

Whether he wanted everyone to understand the truth better or to give the Four Sects True Immortal something to talk about, he started by recounting some past events.

" In the Previous Epoch, the Immortal Sect declined, and the Devil Ancestor the world. Although the Four Sects were strong, the disciples of the Demonic Sect dominated the Xuanwei realm. When the Dao Fruit could not enter the Xuanwei realm, the Demonic Sect was the overlord of the Xuanwei."

"Although the Devil Ancestor cannot defeat the Four Sects, the disciples of the Four Sects who are traveling in the Xuanwei Sect should avoid the Demonic Sect's sharp edge."

None of the Old Monk Zhitong, refuted this.

This is clearly not fake.

According to Zheng Fa's understanding of history, the Devil Ancestor destroyed an entire world once.

In other words, the Xuanwei Human Race in the Previous Epoch were all descendants of the Devil Ancestor.

When the Four Sects 'Dao Fruit are restricted and unable to enter the Xuanwei, the strength of the Demonic Sect is unimaginable.

"Xuanwei has limited resources. Many non-direct disciples of the Demonic Sect sects are not qualified to cultivate, and the major Devil Race do not value these people, leaving them to fend for themselves."

"These people held a lowly position within the Demonic Sect, suffered endless oppression, and were unable to cultivate. They were forced to make a living in the mortal world, and naturally, they could not escape the rule of the Demonic Sect sect."

"Later, they married into each other's families, and their bloodlines gradually became mixed, making them even less respected by the major Demonic Sect."

Zheng Fa pondered to himself that if the timeframe was calculated to be 100,000 years, one could imagine the sheer number of these mixed-blood Demonic Sect disciples.

"Their bloodline was impure, and they could not cultivate the Demonic Sect Method. Instead, the Four Sects saw an opportunity, passed down their lineages, and their sects began to revive."

"But at the beginning, the major sects were by no means a match for the Demonic Sect."

"At that time, the Demonic Sect was known as the Thirteen Immortal Dynasties; below the Immortal Dynasties were the sects."

As the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor recounted his story, Zheng Fa truly understood what Xuanwei was like in the previous era.

The Devil Race ruled the world with the Celestial Dynasty, while the Four Sects retreated in fear.

Although the major sects have inherited the traditions, they are incomplete and absolutely no match for the accumulation of an era of the Immortal Dynasty. They can only rely on its power.

Compared to Xuanwei now, the situation back then was probably even more suffocating.

The Demonic Sect inevitably became elitist.

The lower levels were exploited by the Four Sects —or rather, this was an inevitable consequence of development.

When there are no "outsiders," "insiders" become "outsiders."

If nothing unexpected happens, in the end, it should be the Four Sects representing the Immortal Sect who will fight against the major immortal dynasties.

But an unexpected event occurred.

"The Tianhe Sect was a small sect back then," the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor continued, "But Tianhe himself was exceptionally talented, and even at the Golden Core, he was known as invincible."

"After he Spirit Transformation, he became even more rampant in the profound Xuanwei."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor was not a talkative person; when he spoke of Venerable Tianhe, he only said a few words.

But Zheng Fa could imagine the astonishing and unconventional nature of Venerable Tianhe at that time.

Clearly, Venerable Tianhe's start was far more difficult than his own.

Zheng Fa always believed that his greatest strength was his self-awareness.

Knowing that their own wisdom is limited, they prefer to borrow other people's ideas.

Knowing that their own abilities are insufficient, they are not averse to cooperating with others.

Compared to Venerable Tianhe, he knew one more thing: his current achievements were certainly the result of his hard work, but to put it bluntly, they all originated from the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant.

This kind of luck is more important than any effort, wisdom, or strategy.

His only source of pride is that he seized this stroke of luck and made the most of it.

But Venerable Tianhe probably won't have that luck.

Therefore, his achievements are all the more valuable.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor continued, "At first, Tianhe was arrogant and had many conflicts with the Four Sects, but the Four Sects had no way to deal with him."

Just then, Jade Pool Nishang Yuanjun finally spoke:

"Wasn't it because you, Nine Nether, protected him? Don't even mention the Four Sects, how many Demonic Sect ' revenge did you shield him from back then?"

After a moment of silence, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor spoke, "My path of Dharma Body had also reached its end, but the Tianhe... gave me another hope."

These words from the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor unconsciously reminded Zheng Fa of his special status.

Other Golden Immortal couldn't enter the Xuanwei, but he could.

Even the Nine Nether Devil Sect doesn't seem to operate like Lineage.

This doesn't seem like Dharma Body Method at all.

He even had some suspicions in his mind.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor briefly mentioned himself, then said, "Back then, the Tianhe rose too quickly, and your Four Sects couldn't suppress it, so you changed your attitude and cooperated with it to fight against the Demonic Sect."

At this point, Zheng Fa suddenly realized.

Zheng Fa had never understood why the Four Sects were allies of Venerable Tianhe.

That's because he overlooked the Demonic Sect.

With a common enemy, cooperation naturally becomes possible.

In Zheng Fa's view, the Four Sects disciples were very agile and their attitude towards him was ambiguous.

"With Tianhe's talent, my protection, and the foundation of the Four Sects, Tianhe has progressed extremely rapidly," the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor said softly. "In less than ten thousand years, he wiped out the eight great immortal dynasties and even attained the Dao Fruit, truly becoming invincible in the world."

"You, from the moment he attained enlightenment, have harbored disloyal thoughts, haven't you?"

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor suddenly asked.

In the scene, Xuanding True Immortal actually spoke first.

"When Venerable Tianhe attained enlightenment, Dao Venerable appeared, and we realized that he was not cultivating the Yang Spirit Method."

It turns out that Xuanding can say so many words at once.

"Tianhe didn't follow the Yang Spirit Method from the beginning," said the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor. "He just hid it in his early years."

Xuanding True Immortal shook his head and said, "Whether you believe it or not, Devil Ancestor, from the beginning, my Supreme Dao did not mind Venerable Tianhe's New Method."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's voice was somewhat cold. "But this is the beginning of everything."

Xuanding True Immortal fell silent again, as if the person who had spoken just now was not himself.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor didn't care about him, and continued, "Back then, only the four Immortal Dynasties remained, which were also the most powerful and the most difficult Demonic Sect forces to defeat."

"But Tianhe and I are both confident that we will eventually win, and we are even close to winning."

"Postcelestial Realm suddenly died, and you immediately betrayed the Tianhe Sect."

"Why."

The Old Monk Zhitong suddenly spoke up, "It is the Supreme Dao."

Zheng Fa looked at the old monk.

"The Supreme Dao has sent messages to the Four Sects, claiming that Venerable Tianhe is colluding with the Demonic Sect."

The Nine Nether Venerable laughed in anger:

"Colluding with the Demonic Sect? Beneath the Tianhe Green Duckweed Sword lie the souls of three Devil Ancestor!"

"The Supreme Dao says he colluded with the Demonic Sect?"

So you believed it?

The Old Monk Zhitong asked:

"Didn't he collude with you?"

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor did not answer, seemingly stunned.

"Back then, although Venerable Tianhe destroyed the four great immortal dynasties, he also destroyed mountains and temples, and acted perversely," the Old Monk Zhitong continued. "Shouldn't our Four Sects have doubts about his actions?"

"Because of me, you all think Tianhe is colluding with the Demonic Sect?"

"My Nine Nether Immortal Dynasty has long since disintegrated!"

Zhitong:

"Devil Ancestor, your origins are extraordinary; none of our Four Sects know your true background."

"You say the Nine Nether Immortal Dynasty has collapsed, but all we see is that of the thirteen immortal dynasties, only yours has not been defeated by Venerable Tianhe."

"And you, you became the second-generation Sect Leader the Tianhe Sect."

"Isn't it suspicious?"

In the Sect Leader hall of the Tianhe Sect, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor stood up, looking dazed.

Listen to Cloud True Immortal continue:

"Even Venerable Tianhe did not pass on his position to his disciple, but to you."

"If it weren't for you, Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, bewitching Venerable Tianhe, how could this have happened?"

"How could we allow you to usurp the position of Tianhe Sect Leader?"

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor fell silent.

He looked at Sect Master Yan and suddenly asked:

"Just because Tianhe Biography to me?"

Sect Master Yan lowered his head.

Zheng Fa frowned as he listened.

If what Zhitong and Cloud True Immortal, then from their perspective, it is indeed difficult to explain why Venerable Tianhe destroyed mountains and temples in his later years, which makes them even more uneasy.

The fact that the throne was passed to the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor makes it possible that Venerable Tianhe was colluding with the Demonic Sect.

If Venerable Tianhe were present and his aura suppressed Xuanwei, they naturally wouldn't have anything to say.

Unfortunately, Venerable Tianhe died and passed the throne to the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, so they naturally did not want to sit idly by.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor remained silent for a long time. He hadn't expected that the truth behind the Tianhe Upheaval, which he had been searching for so desperately, would seem to be related to him.

The problem is that Venerable Tianhe did not collude with the Demonic Sect.

Who spread this news?

The Supreme Dao?

The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor asked the True Immortal Xuanding, "How could your Supreme Dao be so certain that Tianhe, or I, is connected to the Demonic Sect?"

Xuanding True Immortal's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately realized that someone had already told part of the truth.

"That's what the Creation Heavenly Devil said."

"..."

"He?"

Xuan Ding recalled, "Back then, when the four great immortal dynasties were destroyed, the Creation Demon was hunted down by the Thunder Sound Temple and fled to the sea, where he was caught by my Supreme Dao Fruit."

"Before he fell, he said himself, 'I obey your command.'"

"The Creation Heavenly Devil, obey my commands?"

The voice of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor was filled with disbelief.

Zheng Fa felt a toothache just listening to this.

The Creation Heavenly Devil didn't sound like a weakling.

It's one thing for this person to speak carelessly, but to say it right before he died is even more unfortunate.

Who wouldn't have their doubts?

"He also said," Xuanding began, "That you betrayed Venerable Tianhe, and that he has already fallen into demonic possession."

"..."

"Sure enough, not long after, Venerable Tianhe suddenly passed away."

Zheng Fa fell into deep thought.

Now, he naturally has no reason to doubt the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

But if we look at it from the perspective of that time, the situation is different:

The Venerable Tianhe's destruction of mountains and temples already terrified the Four Sects.

On the other hand, since the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor came from the Demonic Sect, he was probably not trustworthy in the eyes of the Four Sects.

And there are "witnesses" like the Creation Devil Ancestor.

To be honest, Zheng Fa knew that even as Supreme Dao, he still harbored doubts about Venerable Tianhe and the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

So, Thunderclap Temple and Vast Sun Mountain received a message from the Supreme Dao, which led to this misunderstanding?

Zheng Fa frowned.

The Creation Heavenly Devil... Vast Sun Mountain... and Lu Mo...?

If anyone could create such a misunderstanding, it would only be Lu Mo.

The problem is, Lu Mo might be able to command the Devil Ancestor and Vast Sun Mountain, is it fair to say that the Supreme Dao has no doubts whatsoever?

That would be incredibly stupid.

"The Creation Heavenly Devil says you must obey me, and you believe him?"

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor then inquired about the Dao Fruit of the Four Sects.

Zhitong continued, "A message from Jade Pool says that Venerable Tianhe has fallen into demonic possession and intends to use the Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram to destroy the Xuanwei Immortal Sect."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor fell silent.

Zheng Fa remained silent.

It turns out, the fact that Venerable Tianhe has fallen into demonic possession has been confirmed by Jade Pool?

This is probably the whole reason for the Tianhe Upheaval.

This great chaos, to put it bluntly, is a convergence of various causes and effects:

The Four Sects were dissatisfied with Venerable Tianhe of cutting down mountains and destroying temples.

Suspicion about the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

Fear of the Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram.

These factors combined ultimately led to the Tianhe Bloodshed.

"Jade Pool..." the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor suddenly spoke, "It really is her."

who?

Zheng Fa was stunned.

"Of course you all believe her when she says that," the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor suddenly said. "After all, she... is Tianhe's dao companion."

Nishang Yuanjun understood that someone had implicated Jade Pool, and sighed, "Lingxi and Venerable Tianhe are in love, and Jade Pool is happy to see it happen."

"But one day, she returned to Jade Pool and said that Tianhe had become a demon and wanted to eradicate the Four Sects, unify the Immortal Sect, and be the only one who reigns supreme."

"Devil Ancestor, tell me, should we believe him or not?"

After hearing this, Zheng Fa roughly pieced together a story:

Before Venerable Tianhe's death, the Four Sects and Venerable Tianhe had probably already become estranged due to the Celestial River Method and the Immortal-Slayer Sword Formation.

The Four Sects harbored countless grievances and fears.

Two things in particular aroused the suspicions of the Four Sects:

One was the dying words of the Creation Heavenly Devil.

Of course, the Four Sects may not necessarily believe in the Devil Ancestor.

But it's hard not to harbor resentment.

Another factor that further undermined the trust of the Four Sects:

As the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor said, Lingxi was actually the dao companion of Venerable Tianhe, and she also came from Jade Pool.

The credibility of his words is beyond question.

The doubts had not yet been dispelled when, unexpectedly, Venerable Tianhe suddenly passed away and passed the throne to the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

The mystery surrounding Tianhe's death.

Years of accumulated doubts.

Of course, in Zheng Fa's view, the most important thing was the fear of the Four Sects towards the Immortal-Slayer Sword Formation.

Even without all that had happened before, the Four Sects probably wouldn't have tolerated the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor taking control of the Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram.

Even Zheng Fa could tell from his own experience that even if Venerable Tianhe hadn't perished, if things had continued this way, this great chaos would still have occurred, and it might have been even more devastating.

Thinking about it this way, Venerable Tianhe back then was a bit pitiful:

The four disciples betrayed... or rather, they at least began to doubt their master.

His dao companion also seemed to have doubts about him.

Absolutely abandoned by everyone.

The only person I can trust and entrust with anything is actually the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor?

Unfortunately, even the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor could not preserve this legacy.

The Old Monk Zhitong suddenly spoke again:

"Although the Supreme Dao and my Thunderclap Temple have a long-standing feud, they belong to different Immortal Sect."

"We naturally believe their information, especially given the testimony of the Divine Lord Lingxi Jade Pool."

"Back then, the Supreme Dao led us, with the help of the four lineage Founder, to break into the Tianhe Grand Formation, suppress the Four Immortal-Slayer Swords, and restore order to the chaos."

"Because we were wary of your Divine Ability, Devil Ancestor, we set up an ambush, but you still managed to escape."

Zheng Fa frowned.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa had only one thought:

All of this is just too much of a coincidence.

It was as if someone was pushing Venerable Tianhe to break with the Four Sects.

Judging from Venerable Tianhe's attitude, he seemed to have realized something, distrusting the Four Sects and the Immortal Sect, and had no choice but to choose the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

From the perspective of the Four Sects, Venerable Tianhe was gradually drifting away from them, and in the end, he even chose the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

Even according to the words of Zhitong and others, the instigators of the Tianhe Upheaval were actually the Supreme Dao and Jade Pool?

Just then, the True Immortal Xuanding spoke again, "But we are wrong."
