Not only were the family sorcerers in the South Sea surprised, but the sorcerers in Cloud Capital were also astonished, because no one expected that Murong Ziyi was actually Black Tortoise Sorcerer.
The child from the Ziyi Household was renowned for his talent in thunder magic from a young age. Thunder magic requires extremely high talent and is completely useless before the Third Rank, so many disciples from sorcerer families do not practice this method. However, this disciple from the Murong Family seems to be particularly stubborn, having devoted himself to this secret technique since childhood, and even took the initiative to become a disciple of Old Celestial Master Zhang.
Old Celestial Master Zhang accepted his first disciple from outside the family in a thousand years, and she certainly did not disappoint him. In just ten years, Murong Ziyi became Above First Rank sorcerer. Above First Rank sorcerer at the age of twenty is probably unique in the world. Many people think that her future may even surpass Zhang Zhiyun's.
Unexpectedly, this child is actually one of the Four Saints Sorcerer. The Ziyi Household has been hiding their abilities quite well!
While everyone was discussing this, Chen Qing was pondering another question.
He wasn't particularly interested in the fact that the Ziyi Household Clan had hidden a Black Tortoise Sorcerer. The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Fiends sorcerers would only truly show their power in the third version, and they would have to rely on players. If there were no players, according to the original history, these remaining demonic wills in the world would be suppressed and diluted by the current ancient powerhouse.
This world has already gone through three Samsara, and the will of the Four Saints has probably faded to a certain extent. It's possible that not only the Four Saints, but other Heavenly Stems and Earthly Fiends level techniques will also gradually fade away from this stage due to the fading. Chen Qing couldn't understand why players who had been in charge of this world for three Samsara hadn't even managed to reach the later stages with a single Four Saints Spell?
According to the game's design, any technique of the Heavenly Stems or Earthly Fiends level can, in the later stages, condense the ultimate true form of that demon, which can be considered a kind of resurrection. After the bloodline of that ultimate demon is reborn into the world, the energy of those techniques that roam the world will dissipate on its own.
This was a strategy employed by the game's official team, which led many players who played on older servers to create new accounts to play on new servers after learning about this situation. In particular, some players who spent money on the game and had a collecting obsession would definitely try to snatch the Four Saints Spell. As the game developers and operators progressed, Chen Qing remembered that after the 300th server, a single Four Saints spot would trigger countless guild wars, with the financial backers behind them spending hundreds of millions of yuan, which greatly boosted the business of the studios.
Given the current time-travel setting, how could no one dare to tamper with these Four Saints Spell?
Has something happened that you are unaware of?
Moreover, this time, Chen Qing suddenly remembered something: after the White Tiger Sorcerer disappeared, it seemed that there was no Ancient Demon in his body.
Yes, no!
Chen Qing suddenly realized what was happening.
The Five Color Families is a Cloud Capital. Chen Qing doesn't believe they aren't controlled by Ancient Demon. Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to control such a large force by only destroying the Zhang Family family.
If the Five Color Families is highly likely controlled by Ancient Demon, then why doesn't that kid with the White Tiger Sorcerer's power have Ancient Demon within him?
The trials of the Four Saints Palace must be related to the Four Saints Spell, but how can the stability of the Four Saints Spell be guaranteed on someone without Ancient Demon?
Putting everything else aside, when those disciples who possess the Four Saints Spell learn that the people their families control are actually parasites, will they still remain loyal?
Perhaps.
Chen Qing looked up at Murong Ziyi casting a spell on the screen and frowned slightly. He had a feeling that Murong Ziyi was probably not Ancient Demon.
If my guess is true, would a talented child like Murong Ziyi be willing to work for a bunch of parasites?
Was she aware of the situation, or was she unaware?
A breakthrough may have been found
Thinking of this, Chen Qing suddenly looked at the red-robed guild leader of the Divine Martial Guild: Kagura!
From the moment White Plain entered the third level, she had been purposefully collecting Black Tortoise fragments, clearly targeting Black Tortoise Sorcerer. This guy came here personally; he must know something.
"Why is Your Highness looking at me like that all of a sudden?" King of Qin Kagura at Chen Qing, not disturbing those around her, and chose to transmit her voice.
"It seems Kagura- senpai knows something, right?"
"Yes"
"Interested in telling the young man some inside information?" Chen Qing asked jokingly.
Actually, he didn't have much hope. At this point, intelligence was crucial. Why would someone tell him something?
"Can."
"It's alright, if you don't want to... huh?" Chen Qing was taken aback. For a moment, he wondered if he had misheard. Are all Nihon Country women this generous?
"I can give you some intelligence, but Your Highness, the King of King of Qin, must grant me a few requests."
"That depends on the value of your information, senior. If you just give me some random, flimsy stuff and expect me to do something for you, I'd be getting the short end of the stick."
"I'll say a few words first, and King of Qin Highness can decide whether to cooperate later if you wish to hear what follows."
"This transaction model is not bad." Chen Qing smiled upon hearing this. If the other party dared to tell him the first half, he was 80% confident that he could guess the second half. Of course, he wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
"I imagine His Highness King of Qin has also realized this," Kagura said, watching the two fighting on the screen. "This Murong Ziyi is not actually Ancient Demon."
"I have that guess, but I'm not sure. It seems like you guys, Kagura- senpai, are certain?"
"Of course we're certain, because we conducted experiments back then." Kagura laughed, " King of Qin Highness, knowing so many ancient secrets, surely you know that large ancient forces, especially the mainstream ones today, are incompatible with the Four Saints Spell?"
"Huh?" Chen Qing was taken aback. "Is that so?"
He wasn't pretending to be stupid; he genuinely didn't know.
After all, players in the past didn't have the ability to become demons. Under their planning, players fought against demons in a very conventional way, such as inheriting spells or unlocking new professions by learning ancient traditions, and then slowly fighting against ancient demons.
But now these guys are taking a different approach, engaging in the business of usurping others' territory!
The methods used were all to directly seize the bloodline of those ancient demons. After all, the players of the game are all focused on saving humanity, but this world is different. Everyone wants to live forever, so they are more inclined to become demons.
According to current intelligence, the Four Great Guilds that currently hold the highest power are all demons.
Chen Qing hadn't considered the conflict between their bloodline and the Four Saints Spell at all; he hadn't mentioned this aspect separately in his design.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing suddenly realized that he might have relied too much on his previous designs and hadn't considered the loopholes and flaws that existed outside his original plans. He wondered how to explain these bugs.
For example, why do the Heavenly Stems Earthly Fiends choose humans as inheritors of their techniques, instead of selecting more talented demons?
He didn't explain it back then, but in this real world, it filled the gaps for him. The reason why those ancient souls didn't want other demons to inherit them was because of this!
This explains why the spirits chose humans: humans have weak bloodlines but strong learning abilities. They can inherit their own abilities and assimilate their own bloodlines. When the technique reaches its peak, with the help of some ancient artifacts, humans can condense their own demonic bodies and inherit their own bloodlines. If this continues, their bloodlines will be revived.
This is why those spirits are willing to choose humans; if they chose demons, their bloodlines would likely be mixed up, which is why they refuse to choose demons.
With this explanation, Chen Qing roughly guessed what these Ancient Demon were planning.
