This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 210 - 205: Heavenly Dao, Abyss?

Chapter 210: Chapter 205: Heavenly Dao, Abyss?

"I’m not very clear about the restoration of the Heavenly Dao and the Abyss either." Wan Tinggui organized her words; since they were going to stand on a united front, she decided to share the information she knew.

"About half a year ago, the once incomplete Heavenly Dao began to restore itself to completeness, and many Cultivators who had been stuck at the peak of the Seventh Realm or at Great Perfection for hundreds of years began to advance to higher Realms. As of now, only your master and that man from the Devouring Spirit Sect have ascended to the Eighth Realm."

"However, in not too long, perhaps in one or two months, the Sect Masters, Sect Leaders, or Supreme Elders of the various Super Forces will likely have all broken through successfully. That will be the true beginning of a great era, an upheaval not seen in tens of thousands of years."

Wan Tinggui spoke solemnly, her expression one of longing, for any genius would aspire to that highest of Realms. In the previous tens of thousands of years, countless brilliant talents, due to the incomplete Heavenly Dao, saw no hope of advancement and could only despair and pass away.

But now, with the proper unfolding of the great era, they might also have a chance to reach the pinnacle and become true "Heavenly Immortals."

Liang Yi, though outwardly as calm as an ancient well, was inwardly experiencing tumultuous waves.

"This world has indeed changed, completely different from the game of my previous life."

In his previous life, no one had reached the level cap, but now, even though it’s still the internal testing phase, two have already done it. Does that mean the current level cap has already reached level 100?

"What about the Abyss?"

In both his past and present lives, Liang Yi had limited understanding of the Abyss; it was always a mysterious presence to him.

"Half a year ago, there was a disturbance in the Abyss. The Devouring Spirit Sect originated from the Abyss, though that was a very long time ago." Wan Tinggui flicked a strand of hair blown by the wind and gazed at the goldfish blowing bubbles in the lake.

"Since the Abyss fell silent, the Sect has not been in contact with the Abyss for countless years, until that disturbance."

"I’m not sure what connection there is between the Heavenly Dao and the Abyss, but every time there is activity in the Heavenly Dao, the Abyss seems to stir in response. And it was during that disturbance that the Sect Hierarch re-established contact with the Abyss and, taking advantage of its power, broke through the Realm’s constraints."

"Coincidentally, whether it’s the completion of the Heavenly Dao or the disturbance in the Abyss, it happened precisely when you were being assassinated by the Sect."

Wan Tinggui looked at Liang Yi as though intending to see through the young man who was a few years younger than herself.

"Perhaps I am the child of the Heavenly Dao, favored by fate, or the darling of the world," Liang Yi joked nonchalantly.

"Heh." Wan Tinggui didn’t believe a word of that.

By this time, Yue Bai had finished brewing the tea and carried it over to them. Seeing the significant change in Wan Tinggui, she almost didn’t dare to approach.

"The Saintess of the Devouring Spirit Sect, Wan Tinggui, she is not your Sister Chu," Liang Yi explained.

Wan Tinggui took the teacup, not sparing the little fox a glance—it was merely a tool to get close to Liang Yi.

Yue Bai timidly hid behind Liang Yi, wondering how the world seemed to have changed so much while she was merely brewing a cup of tea.

"What’s in the Abyss, do you know?" Liang Yi was really curious about this; constantly mentioning the Abyss, he wondered what exactly was sealed in there.

"I don’t know, I haven’t been in there," Wan Tinggui said coldly, casting a glance at Liang Yi.

"The Abyss is just a form; as for what’s inside, you can go and take a look, then come back and tell me."

Liang Yi was somewhat puzzled; they were supposed to be comrades on the same side, but why was the conversation still so cold?

Wan Tinggui was unaware of what Liang Yi was thinking. It was not that she was targeting Liang Yi; she just targeted all male creatures in general.

"Still, I’m grateful to the Saintess for sharing this information with me." Liang Yi was indeed offering sincere thanks, as this information was vital to him—it allowed him to make new adjustments to his future plans.

Wan Tinggui didn’t respond to Liang Yi; she just continued to quietly drink her tea.

"Since you’ve agreed to join forces, then it’s time to produce some results. Merely talking won’t bring down the Devouring Spirit Sect." Wan Tinggui put down her cup and stood up.

"Now, how many people have been charmed by the seductive arts of Vermilion Bird within the Devouring Spirit Sect’s hidden forces, not even I am sure. Those Abnormal People who can see through the tricks of the Devouring Spirit Sect have also vanished. What do you plan to do?"

Liang Yi smiled mysteriously, looking straight at Wan Tinggui as he chuckled:

"There’s no need for Miss Wan to worry about this. Before long, the hidden forces of the Devouring Spirit Sect will be uprooted in their entirety."

"Hmph, just boasting." Wan Tinggui had seen too many such people with more talk than ability.

"···"

Seeing Wan Tinggui showing signs of leaving, Liang Yi hurriedly interjected:

"If you are so eager to crush the Devouring Spirit Sect, why not directly reveal the location of their main stronghold to me? I can send a message to my master and storm their base, wouldn’t that be better?"

Wan Tinggui brushed past him and vanished into the courtyard, leaving behind only a sentence:

"The Devouring Spirit Sect has no main stronghold, only a network of connections from top to bottom."

Hearing this sentence, Liang Yi couldn’t help but feel a toothache. While others have multiple hideouts, the Devouring Spirit Sect doesn’t even need hideouts; they’re concealed all over the world.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Liang Yi sighed. The plan to strike at the heart had failed before it even started.

"Master, was that person really Sister Chu?" The little fox still found it hard to accept.

"Yes, it’s just that the face she was wearing was a disguise. That cold demeanor you just saw is the real her."

"Umm···"

Yue Bai felt another blow to her little heart. Indeed, not everyone in the world is as kind as master and Sister Su.

"Wuwu, Sister Su, please come back soon, Yue Bai misses you so much."

After comforting the little fox for a while, Liang Yi also began to reorganize the vast amount of information he had just received in his mind.

The front line can be trusted; that woman’s hatred cannot be faked, but what exactly did the Sect Hierarch of the Devouring Spirit Sect do to incite such hatred from her?

A fanciful scenario popped into Liang Yi’s head: the Sect Hierarch of the Devouring Spirit Sect killed Wan Tinggui’s parents and, seeing her talents, took her in as his adopted daughter.

As for the Heavenly Dao and the Abyss, they indeed sound intimidating.

But what do they have to do with Liang Yi? They are unrelated by a long shot. Not to mention the Eighth Realm, even the Seventh Realm is far from his reach.

He had just broken through the lower Level cap and they’re talking about the upper Level cap, which is of no use to him whatsoever.

And as for uprooting all of the Devouring Spirit Sect’s hidden forces that he mentioned to Wan Tinggui, he wasn’t just talking big.

When the game enters public beta in three months and billions of players come online, the hunt won’t be limited to the Devouring Spirit Sect in Qingliang City. No matter where they hide, even if it’s at the peak of the Snow Mountain, in the depths of dense forests, or at the bottom of vast rivers and seas, there will be players who have nothing better to do than to rummage every corner of the scenery and drag you out.

Moreover, the Devouring Spirit Sect should be well aware of the special ability that allows Abnormal People to see through them.

When the time comes for the Sect Hierarch to attack those players who still have friendly or amicable relations, it’ll be like poking a hornet’s nest.

Imagining that scene, Liang Yi couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

The world is vast, but where can you rats on the street hide now!
