Old Man Taixuan, Nearly Driven Mad
"And then?"
"That was it."
"..."
Jun Changxiao fell silent.
He had thought there would be more twists and turns, but in the end... the Heaven Devouring Demon Ancestor had simply been dealt with by the Seven Profound Sacred Venerable.
"Oh, right."
Jian Guixu recalled something and said, "It is said that demon left behind a manual of evil arts. Whoever inherits it can unify the Upper Universe and may even comprehend the secret of immortality."
"What manual?"
Jun Changxiao was intrigued.
"I don't know."
Jian Guixu said, "The ancient books did not record it."
"How did you know the Demon Emperor is a descendant of the Heaven Devouring Demon Ancestor, Senior?"
"After Senior Xuan destroyed that demon, he left behind a sentence, saying that his descendants would make a comeback in the future. When that time came, blood would stain Jiu Tian, and disaster would plague all living beings," Jian Guixu said.
Jun Changxiao said speechlessly, "Since he foresaw that the Heaven Devouring Demon Ancestor's descendants would bring calamity to the universe, why did he not pull out the weeds by the roots?"
"Sect Master Jun."
Jian Guixu said, "The future contains not only fixed destinies, but also variables. Even a Great Being like Senior Xuan could not control it."
"That's true."
Jun Changxiao immediately felt relieved.
"Sect Master Jun."
Jian Guixu raised his cup and said solemnly, "Senior Xuan once slew a demon in the Endless Abyss. This old man hopes that today, you will eradicate the Demon Emperor, that scourge upon the universe."
Their interactions during this time, along with everything Jun Changxiao had done, had made him clearly realize that if the Upper Universe were to welcome the dawn, it would certainly be because of him and the Eternal Sect.
