Ye Wen listened to Xingyu's words and felt the pressure on himself was indeed considerable. No wonder Old Uncle Zong sighed before his death, saying that all the burdens would fall on him alone!
Ye Wen quickly asked again.
"Where are the remaining eighteen Demon Suppressing Tokens? Could they have been destroyed or taken by those who once destroyed our race?"
"No, this Demon Suppressing Tower and the Demon Suppressing Tokens are one, complementing each other. If one token is destroyed, the corresponding part of the Demon Suppressing Tower will also be destroyed.
It's even less likely they could be taken off the Ancestral Star. A Demon Suppressing Token that leaves the Ancestral Star will return to the Demon Suppressing Tower on its own. Since all eighteen Demon Suppressing Towers are still here, some Demon Suppressing Tokens may have flown back to the Demon Suppressing Tower, while others might have been collected by humans or demons. After you refine a Demon Suppressing Token, you will develop a sense for it, and eventually, you should be able to find them all."
After speaking, Xingyu, who was a white mist, pointed to his physical body at Ye Wen. Then he continued.
"Go get my Xingyu Demon Suppressing Token from there, then perform a blood recognition ritual to claim it as your master, and take it with you. I hope you can find the other eighteen Demon Suppressing Tokens soon!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wen hurriedly interrupted Xingyu and told him about the situation when he refined the Sect Art Demon Suppressing Token. Ye Wen was afraid that if he refined the Xingyu Demon Suppressing Token again, some unimaginable situation might occur, which would be bad!
"It's fine. The Sect Art Demon Suppressing Tower can be considered the foremost Demon Suppressing Tower, and Sect Art was the leader among us. The anomaly that occurred after refining his Demon Suppressing Token was a kind of unsealing for this era.
When the world was sealed, I was close to death. I don't know if the great being who sealed us was kind or malicious. He said the Hongmeng Human Race committed a grave mistake and sealed Kui Star for ten thousand years as punishment!
After he sealed the world, the experts who were pursuing us, the Hongmeng Human Race, left. However, they left behind remnants of their forces, who are still targeting humans."
Hearing this, Ye Wen's curiosity was once again strongly piqued, and he bombarded Xingyu with questions.
"Is this Ancestral Star called Kui Star? Then what about the other humans on this Kui Star? They aren't from the Hongmeng Human Race, are they? Are the remaining forces targeting us humans, demons, or something else?"
Xingyu, the white light, looked at Ye Wen's rapid-fire questions and couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, Ye Wen. I will tell you everything I know. After all, it will be up to you in the future. I don't want you to rush in without understanding anything."
As Xingyu spoke, he floated closer again and looked at the Xingyu Demon Suppressing Token in Ye Wen's hand. Then he said again.
"Yes, we do call it Kui Star here. Kui Star originally had quite a few humans. After the Hongmeng Ancestor arrived here, married, and had children, the Hongmeng lineage was passed down.
In fact, humans are a major race throughout the entire universe, and within the human race, there are many branching sub-races. However, the strongest ancestor of each branching sub-race must reach a realm above the Dao Realm."
Speaking of this, Xingyu saw Ye Wen preparing to ask another question, so he started explaining himself.
"Don't ask me what the Dao Realm is. I don't know. It should be a realm like the Human Ancestor's. So, for now, you don't need to worry about others discovering you are from the Hongmeng Human Race, because the Hongmeng Human Race is extinct.
The realm of the beings who attacked us is beyond our comprehension. Therefore, your appearance is a complete miracle. A tiny trace of the Human Ancestor's spiritual imprint has managed to awaken within your bloodline.
The remaining forces on Kui Star are likely mostly opportunists, sycophants. When we were powerful, they attached themselves to us; when we were weak, they betrayed us.
They are all bad people. You need to be careful of these scoundrels in the future. Among them, the more influential forces are the Dao Sect, the Buddhist Sect, and some Demon Races! In short, you can use their influence, but never, ever trust them.
As long as you don't expose your identity as a Hongmeng Human Race member, they won't be able to tell. After all, it was Sect Art who sacrificed his life to help you achieve Spirit Opening and remove the seal on your soul. The price was enormous. Fortunately, you weren't cultivating back then, or Sect Art wouldn't have been able to do it even if he died.
The one who sealed our race's souls, the great being who sealed Kui Star, personally cast a forbidden curse using the Human Ancestor's bloodline. Therefore, they are not worried about the Hongmeng Human Race rising from the ashes; they only fear the Hongmeng Ancestor returning."
Hearing Xingyu's definitive statement, Ye Wen's heart temporarily settled. He had never understood why there were so many humans on the Ancestral Star. He had thought they were branches of the Hongmeng Human Race. It turned out that the Hongmeng Human Race was just a small branch within the vast human race.
Looking at the Xingyu Demon Suppressing Token in his hand, Ye Wen took out Old Uncle Zong's Demon Suppressing Token again. He discovered that the materials of the two tokens were indeed identical. Under the influence of the other token, Xingyu's Demon Suppressing Token also began to emit a white light in Ye Wen's hand.
At the same time, on the token, just like Sect Art's, one side displayed the character 镇 (Zhen - suppress), and the other side displayed the character 妖 (Yao - demon). Below the character 妖, a faint white light displayed "Xingyu."
