"I never imagined the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect had so many experts."
Han Xuanji arrived at the Heaven-Swallowing Holy City, and with his Double Pupils of insight, he saw everything clearly.
Although all the powerful members of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect conquered the Nine Provinces perished, there were still a few with the aura of the Immortal Ascension level. However, these people had weak foundations, their combat power was far inferior to those of the same level, and they also had many limitations.
Han Xuanji disguised himself as a disciple of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect, and because he had passed the Soul Searching Ceremony by Venerable Daoyin, he easily infiltrated the sect.
Venerable Daoyin was at least at the Tribulation Transcendence Ninth Layer Realm, and his status in the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect was not low. He was a sect venerable, second only to the Saint Venerable, and equivalent to an inner sect elder.
After Han Xuanji entered the city, he could see that it was quite lively.
Many disciples of the Demonic Sect have come from all over, seemingly to participate in some grand event.
"Is this senior brother also here to compete for the position of Venerable One?"
As soon as Han Xuanji entered the city, a man dressed in white asked with a smile.
Beside him stood a woman in red, her eyes sparkling as she sized up Han Xuanji, this unfamiliar yet extremely handsome man.
Han Xuanji ignored the man in white and began to think about how to make her move.
As the lair of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect, Heaven-Swallowing City was protected by numerous powerful formations, so Han Xuanji did not act rashly.
The man in white, seeing that Han Xuanji did not respond, was not angry, but instead began to talk to the woman in red:
"After becoming a Venerable, it is said that one can obtain the core Secret Method of the Heaven-Devouring Cultivation Method, which is the supreme inheritance of the sect."
"Once you master the Secret Method, even if you don't primarily cultivate the Heaven-Devouring Cultivation Method, your cultivation level will increase rapidly."
The Heaven-Devouring Cultivation Method, also known as the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method, is not something everyone can learn. Its core Secret Method are only unlocked after reaching a certain level.
"Yeah?"
Han Xuanji remained noncommittal.
The Heaven-Devouring Patriarch was able to establish this foundation for himself, which was naturally due to his unique abilities. The Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect also had many powerful Divine Ability Cultivation Method passed down through generations, but in Han Xuanji's eyes, they were nothing special.
However, this Cultivation Method was most likely not created by the other party, but rather inherited from some terrifying being.
Seeing that Han Xuanji did not believe him, the man in white said:
" The Heaven-Swallowing Secret Method is incredibly profound; once mastered, achieving the Immortal Ascension Realm is not difficult."
The man in white spoke with a hint of envy in his voice.
"Furthermore, as far as I know, the difficulty of this election for His Holiness will be much lower."
"Senior brother, what's the difference?"
Han Xuanji remained silent, but the group of women in red were curious.
"I've only heard about this, but it must be true."
"It is said that the sect has lost a large number of powerful members, and the sect leader personally met with the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch."
The man in white spoke in a low voice, but he did not seem panicked.
All disciples of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect know that the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch is the true master of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect and a supreme being.
Even though the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch has not appeared for many years, he still enjoys extremely high prestige.
" The Heaven-Devouring Cultivation Method is incredibly powerful. Our ancestor's cultivation has already Tongtian; he should be able to ascend at any time."
A look of awe appeared on the white-clad man's face.
"If the Ancestor takes notice of us in this election for Venerable One, wouldn't we soar to new heights?"
"It is said that the sect leader was favored by the ancestor, and rose from an ordinary person to a position second only to the emperor, above hundreds of millions of people. Now he is even close to the Immortal Ascension Realm."
At the level of the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch, even a slight benefit revealed under his fingernails would be enough to bring immense benefits to ordinary cultivators. Once someone like him takes notice, the entire Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect will do everything in its power to cultivate him.
Why did the ancestor suddenly awaken?
The woman in red couldn't help but ask.
"Forehead."
Upon hearing this, the man in white hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said:
"You should have heard... that the Holy Venerable Tianming and the Vice Sect Master led many of the sect's elite forces to the Nine Provinces to conquer this ancestral land of the Spirit Realm and expand the Holy Sect's territory."
"However, it is said that the Saint Venerable and the others have already perished."
The man in white wore a look of fear on his face.
Although the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect has countless powerful figures, Saint Venerable level experts are extremely rare. Each of them is a powerhouse at the Immortal Ascension Realm. The fact that all of these experts have perished is a truly terrifying piece of news.
"I wonder who on the Nine Provinces Continent could bring down someone as powerful as the Holy Venerable Tianming."
The man in white spoke with astonishment, still finding it unbelievable.
The extinguishing of the soul lamps of the numerous cultivators heading to Nine Provinces was an event that could not be concealed.
When news spread that powerful Immortal Ascension like the Holy Venerable Tianming had perished, the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect was in an uproar.
This is something many people cannot even imagine, but it is also a fact.
"Is the Nine Provinces Continent really that terrifying? Even a powerful figure like the Holy Venerable Tianming perished there."
The woman in red was somewhat incredulous and looked terrified, but she was also incredibly grateful that she hadn't gone to the Nine Provinces Continent.
Although the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect is extremely cruel, its inner disciples or True Disciple, due to their outstanding talents, can enjoy abundant resources once they join the sect of a Saint Venerable.
They are also beneficiaries of this system.
"However, our ancestor's cultivation is extraordinary. Once he emerges from Tongtian, I believe he will be unmatched in the entire Spirit Realm."
The man in white offered words of comfort.
"As long as our patriarch is here, the Holy Sect will stand strong."
"And in that case, there are quite a few vacancies in the position of Saint Venerable..."
In fact, many disciples of the Demonic Sect thought the same way.
The fall of the Immortal Ascension Saint Venerable is indeed shocking, but it is also an opportunity. As long as the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch makes a move, the situation will soon be reversed.
"Oh, right."
"Senior brother, you've come to the Holy City to run for the Venerable position, right? Or perhaps you're running for the Saint Venerable?"
The man in white sighed for a moment, then tentatively asked Han Xuanji a question.
The reason he sought out Han Xuanji wasn't because of his talkativeness, but because among all the people, Han Xuanji gave him the strangest feeling.
He always relied on his intuition, and it was this intuition that saved him many times along the way.
"Election?"
Han Xuanji smiled slightly and remained silent.
Join the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect?
Han Xuanji's purpose in coming here is to directly annihilate this great sect that has been passed down for ten thousand years.
If the man in white knew Han Xuanji's purpose, and knew that he was the one who caused the fall of the Saint Venerable of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect Heaven Demon Sect, he would probably be so frightened that he would kneel down on the spot.
Just then...
Several figures emerged from the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Palace at the heart of the Holy City.
Sect Leader Li Wentian appeared dressed in a magnificent black Daoist robe. He wore a jade crown and had a dignified appearance. He did not look like the sect leader of the Demonic Sect, but rather like the sect leader of the Righteous Immortal Sect.
However, beneath Li Wentian's seemingly dignified face lay a barely perceptible trace of anxiety and unease.
Since his conversation with the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch, his cultivation seems to have become increasingly easier. He can consume a large number of elixirs every day, which allows his cultivation speed to increase like a rocket.
[ Li Wentian: Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ninth Layer, Sect Master of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect Fortune Equal to Heaven, he can automatically absorb the luck of those around him and make it his own. He was nurtured by the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch as a cultivation vessel and regards the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch as family. At this moment, he feels confused and uneasy.]
" Fortune Equal to Heaven?"
Han Xuanji was somewhat surprised.
I never imagined such a destiny existed.
"The day he achieves Immortal Ascension Realm will be the day he falls."
Han Xuanji seemed to be deep in thought.
Even with abundant good fortune, without strength, one is nothing more than fish on someone else's chopping board.
