Chapter 242: The Mad Demon Da Qian Emperor, Guests from the Great Wilderness!

The Human Race, within the borders of the Great Gan Kingdom!

"According to the Transformation Demon Sutra, I have already attained the Second-tier Supreme, achieving the realm where the Body is Law!"

"With Body, Law, and Spirit united as one, I have attained Supreme Perfection!"

"And as I am now, I am only lacking the final Spirit to reach Supreme Perfection!"

"Once my Body, Law, and Spirit are fully fused, I shall be able to summon the Demon Dao and transform my very self into a Free-Roaming Heavenly Demon!"

In a dilapidated temple within the borders of the Great Gan Kingdom, a middle-aged man sat upright beneath a ruined idol, while before him lay a field of corpses.

If any experts from the Great Gan Kingdom were here, they would be able to tell at a glance that those lying before this middle-aged man were, shockingly, many of the most renowned experts of the Great Gan Kingdom.

And without exception, they were all individuals who had rendered great Merit in the Battle of Beidi.

As for this middle-aged man, he was naturally the old Da Qian Emperor who had practiced the Transformation Demon Sutra! Even Gu Nianmo would not have imagined that an old Da Qian Emperor on the verge of Dao-dissolution would have such deep comprehension, and even compatibility, with the Transformation Demon Sutra.

The demonic nature that was enough to cause even Ye Ming to fall into the Demon Dao seemed to cause no great trouble for this old Da Qian Emperor! As time passed, the old Da Qian Emperor even sacrificed his own Dao Principles to the Demon Dao in exchange for his current terrifying strength as a Second-tier Supreme.

In a mere seven years, he went from a Second Realm Quasi-Supreme in his late years of Dao-dissolution to his current status as a Second-tier Supreme.

This alone was enough to show just how high the old Da Qian Emperor's compatibility with the Transformation Demon Sutra truly was.

Gu Jiangming and Gu Nianmo had analyzed the old Da Qian Emperor's situation several times, and their conclusion was that this old Da Qian Emperor had embarked on a path of madness.

To say nothing of anything else, the fact that all of the Great Gan Kingdom's royal relatives had died at the hands of the old Da Qian Emperor was enough to show that this fellow was likely completely insane.

In this world's cultivation, there has never been a saying about severing kinship, but when this old Da Qian Emperor was about to break through to the Supreme Realm, the first ones he attacked were his own descendants; this alone was enough to show just how deranged the old Da Qian Emperor was!

"Heavenly Human Dao Lord!"

"No, I should be called a Free-Roaming Heavenly Demon!"

"If I attain the realm of a Free-Roaming Heavenly Demon, I can completely pollute the entire Heaven and Earth and the human world!"

"As long as I can achieve the feat of demonizing the human world, even the position of Demon Immortal is not something I cannot hope for!"

Blood-red light flickered in the old Da Qian Emperor's eyes, and with the flickering of this red light, he could not help but feel the burning heat in his heart.

He certainly knew that there was someone behind the Transformation Demon Sutra, but so what? In the eyes of this old Da Qian Emperor, as long as he was strong enough, even the existence who created the Transformation Demon Sutra might not be beyond his ability to devour, turning that being into a part of his own nourishment!

"All those within the Great Gan Kingdom who possess Merit have already become my nourishment."

"The next destination is Da Zhen!"

The demonized old Da Qian Emperor shook his head, his eyes, filled with malice, once again cast toward the east, and that territory was precisely the Da Zhen of which the old Da Qian Emperor spoke.

With such a major event occurring within the Great Gan Kingdom, it was naturally impossible for the Human Race to be completely unaware.

It was just that the old Da Qian Emperor understood the Great Gan Kingdom too well, and coupled with the fact that after the great war, many Enlightened Deities and even the old Celestial Master were recovering from their injuries, the Human Central City still only believed that someone was deliberately targeting the royal family of the Great Gan Kingdom.

The Human Central City had indeed sent experts to the Great Gan Kingdom to gather information, but the old Da Qian Emperor was clearly more cunning than Ye Ming, and more rational than Ye Ming; he was like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, slowly pruning away those practitioners who possessed Merit.

"This old Da Qian Emperor is truly a character!"

"If he were truly given time, the Transformation Demon Sutra in his hands might just be perfected a second time, becoming a true Immortal Scripture!"

In the ink-colored water mirror, Gu Nianmo and Gu Jiangming looked at the old Da Qian Emperor in the image and could not help but sigh. "The so-called Heavenly Venerables outside the Great Wilderness have been testing us more and more obviously recently!"

"In what I have seen alone, there have been no fewer than fifteen groups of Great Wilderness practitioners entering this Heaven and Earth."

"The weakest of these practitioners have reached the Enlightenment Realm; one can only say that they are worthy of being disciples and followers of Immortals."

Gu Jiangming's gaze only lingered on the old Da Qian Emperor for a moment before he withdrew it.

In his and Gu Nianmo's eyes, this old Da Qian Emperor was merely a chess piece struggling to grow.

Compared to the old Da Qian Emperor, Gu Nianmo and Gu Jiangming were clearly more concerned with those practitioners arriving from outside the Great Wilderness.

"The Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit is about to ripen, and coupled with the fact that they have lost the aura of myself and Ziwu, some people are naturally unable to sit still."

"Father, can you see the traces of their laws this time?"

Gu Nianmo also withdrew his gaze; he knew that his father, Gu Jiangming, had once merged with the Heavenly Will and could control the Heavenly Net to see things others could not.

Especially as the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit grew more mature, the Heavenly Will seemed to sense danger, and the manifestation of the Heavenly Will even took the initiative to return to Gu Jiangming's embrace.

And with the dual blessing of the Heavenly Will and Gu Mingyue, even if a Heavenly Human Dao Lord were to enter this Heaven and Earth now, they would not escape Gu Jiangming's gaze.

"Perhaps they are disciples of the Mingguang Heavenly Venerable?"

"They have the aura of the starry sky on them. According to what you said, the only ones in the Great Wilderness who have not merged with the Five Qi Dao Fruit are your cheap master Mingguang Heavenly Venerable, the Universal Heavenly Venerable, the Cursed Evil Heavenly Venerable, and two other Heavenly Venerables whose names you do not know."

"However, besides the aura of the Universal Heavenly Venerable's disciples, this group of arrivals also carries a few special auras."

"It might just be that some True Immortal Heavenly Venerable's disciple is pretending to be from the Universal Heavenly Venerable!"

Gu Jiangming withdrew his gaze. After merging with the Heavenly Will, Gu Jiangming was increasingly able to sense waves of malice approaching this Heaven and Earth from beyond.

Although, if it were not for the manifestation of that malice from the Great Wilderness, Gu Jiangming would not have been able to borrow the Heavenly Will so easily.

But Gu Jiangming was also very clear that if there were an opportunity, the current Heavenly Will would not mind wiping him out as well.

"I have only gathered information on these three Immortal Heavenly Venerables of the Three Flower Realm; as for the Heavenly Venerables of the Five Qi True Immortal Realm, it is extremely difficult to obtain information about them, even if one deliberately investigates in the Great Wilderness."

Gu Nianmo listened to Gu Jiangming's words, but he did not go on to guess which True Immortal Heavenly Venerable's disciple this group of arrivals belonged to.

"Logically speaking, these Heavenly Venerables should widely proclaim their names; why are these Great Wilderness Heavenly Venerables all so tight-lipped about their own titles?"

Gu Jiangming was also helpless; his knowledge of the Great Wilderness came basically from Gu Nianmo.

Since Gu Nianmo did not know their origins, it was naturally even more impossible for Gu Jiangming to know which Heavenly Venerable was behind them!

"I am not too clear on this point either. After all, even in Mingguang's eyes, I am merely his nourishment; it is impossible for him to tell me these things."

Gu Nianmo listened to Gu Jiangming's words and just shook his head helplessly.
