Chapter 554 - 473: Reincarnation Celestial Monarch: Sorry, I’m a Demon! (3K)
"Before going to find the Dragon Venerable, there’s one more thing in the Reincarnation Nether Realm that requires your assistance."
Su Yuan said cautiously.
"Go ahead."
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch spoke casually. After accepting the reality of being a mere projection and facing impending demise, he believed nothing could affect him anymore.
Su Yuan: "You should also have the map marked with red dots in your mind. Each red dot represents a projection of a Divinity Transformation cultivator, among which are Nascent Soul level projections."
"For projections of this level, please handle them personally and eliminate them."
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch paused slightly, carefully verifying the locations of the red dots within the Reincarnation Nether Realm.
Due to Zhu Qingqing’s intense effort in eradicating Divinity Transformation cultivator projections, the number of red dots in the Reincarnation Nether Realm had significantly reduced compared to before.
The remaining Divinity Transformation cultivator projections she left were evidently tough ones, renowned figures throughout the realm, either Nascent Soul level experts or elite among the Golden Core cultivators.
Existences of this level clearly caught the eyes of the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch.
Moreover, these individuals had their own areas of activity and spheres of influence, allowing the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch to roughly identify them based on the red dot locations alone.
"The Celestial Lotus Saintess of the Qinglian Sect, Qi Zhanghe of the Righteous Alliance, Kuang Zhantian of the Hundred Battles Sect... I personally nurtured these young talents with Divinity Transformation potential!"
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch exclaimed in shock:
"I’ve always made time to instruct them as much as possible in order to foster their growth."
"They are like my beloved direct disciples, my left and right arms, and now you’re asking me to kill them all?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but want to dig his toes into the ground.
He knew this kind of situation would occur.
It’s no wonder the Celestial Lotus Saintess, Qi Zhanghe, Kuang Zhantian and others are projections of Divinity Transformation cultivators, they do shine wherever they go.
Talents of their level, upon reaching a certain realm, are bound to establish connections with the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, possibly forming deep friendships.
Having the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch personally kill these friends and family is indeed somewhat cruel.
On the other hand, why is it that Reincarnation Xiaodeng’s moral standard is so high?
Normally, when faced with talents that threaten one’s position, wouldn’t it be prudent to eliminate them early?
Why do you still encourage them to achieve Divinity Transformation?
Furthermore, all these Divinity Transformation projections were exemplars of righteousness before being possessed by the Abyssal Shadow, not a single demon among them!
If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have conquered the Ten Great Demon Sects so easily back then.
Sigh, if only these Divinity Transformation projections were demons, it would at least ease the burden of killing them.
After a long silence, Su Yuan cautiously said:
"Before I came to the Reincarnation Hall, I used the All Heaven Star Battle Array Plate to convey the message to the Dragon Venerable and Senior Star River, they should not have finished eliminating the Divinity Transformation projections in their territories."
"How about... the three of you Divinity Transformation cultivators swap territories to eliminate each other’s Divinity Transformation projections, would that make it any easier?"
Easier, my foot!
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch glanced at Su Yuan speechlessly, escaping does not solve the problem, does it?
"Forget it, I’m not one to borrow someone else’s knife to kill; I’ll handle them personally."
Su Yuan obediently nodded.
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch took Su Yuan, stepped forward, and the two immediately appeared above a lotus-shaped mountain gate.
This was one of the major righteous sects in the Reincarnation Nether Realm, the Qinglian Sect’s mountain gate.
As Divinity Transformation pressure descended, chaos erupted within the Qinglian Sect.
A few breaths later, a dignified girl in a blue palace dress ascended, first respectfully saluting the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, then asking with slight confusion:
"Reincarnation Teacher, is there something urgent that brought you here so unexpectedly?"
Looking at the girl in blue before him, the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch gently shook his head.
The Celestial Lotus Saintess paused slightly, suddenly seeming to realize something, exclaiming in surprise:
"Could it be you’re here because of the Primordial Sect?"
"Just now, I too received news that the Primordial Sect is conducting a massive hunt for righteous talents. In just a few hours, several burgeoning righteous talents have already been killed."
"And coincidentally, the places where these righteous talents fell correspond to the red dots that suddenly appeared in our minds."
"I suspect that those marked by the red dots are the righteous cultivators the Primordial Sect wants to purge, including myself!"
After briefly explaining what she knew, the Celestial Lotus Saintess continued:
"Reincarnation Teacher, with merely a word from you, I’m willing to personally take action to capture all those wicked demons."
The tone of the girl in blue was filled with firmness and righteous spirit.
Standing beside the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, Su Yuan let out a slightly regretful sigh.
What a fine righteous fairy she is... who’s to know if her true self is one of the ancient thirty-six Divinity Transformations, or how her current situation fares.
Su Yuan couldn’t help but say: "Celestial Lotus Fairy, explaining the situation is rather complicated."
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Lotus Saintess finally focused on Su Yuan.
Due to Su Yuan’s half-dragon, half-human appearance, she hadn’t initially linked this robust dragon man to the Master of the Primordial Sect, but upon closer inspection, she realized something was amiss.
When publicizing Su Yuan as the Saint Heir of the Reincarnation Nether Realm, his portrait was widely spread.
The justice-driven Celestial Lotus Saintess had specially pinned a portrait of Su Yuan in her boudoir, always ready to find trouble with this demon who was recruited.
Thus, she had a very deep impression of Su Yuan.
After recognizing the dragon person before her, the face of the Celestial Lotus Saintess turned pale:
"You, you are the Master of the Primordial Sect, Su Yuan?!"
"How could you appear here, and with the Reincarnation Lord..."
Speaking incoherently, the girl in blue suddenly seemed to think of something, and abruptly turned to look at the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch.
"Reincarnation Lord... was the order to kill those righteous geniuses given by you?"
Reincarnation Celestial Monarch: "...you can understand it that way."
Upon hearing this, the girl in blue fell as if into an ice cellar, speaking both sorrowfully and sadly:
"So you have come personally, to kill me?"
Reincarnation Celestial Monarch: "...yes."
Looking at this girl who resembled his direct disciple showing an expression of despair, the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch sighed.
Even though he knew she was just an illusion, he couldn’t help but offer an explanation.
"Celestial Lotus, those locked by the red dot are those likely to be possessed by Outer Heaven Demons. To protect the peace of the Taixu World, I, the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, and the Star River Celestial Monarch had no choice but to do this."
To prevent the leak of important information, the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch did not reveal the truth, merely telling a kind lie.
Hearing this explanation, the Celestial Lotus Saintess was initially stunned, the despair on her delicate face gradually fading.
She opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately merely nodded gently.
"That’s good."
"That’s good?"
Both Su Yuan and the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch were taken aback.
Then the Celestial Lotus Saintess smiled and said:
"It’s a cause for celebration that the teacher hasn’t fallen and is still striving to protect the peace of the Taixu World, isn’t it?"
"As for me... being targeted by an Outer Heaven Demon is just bad luck. The teacher personally coming to kill me means there’s no saving me. It’s better to face death calmly."
Su Yuan: "..."
Dammit, can you righteous folks stop being so noble and exalted!
I can’t stand it, your holy light is about to blind me!
Taking a deep breath, the Celestial Lotus Saintess said embarrassedly:
"Teacher, self-sacrifice is painful, please let me die without pain. With the power of the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, you should be able to do this easily."
Reincarnation Celestial Monarch: "...hmm."
This little boy, who appeared to be only seven or eight years old, sighed again, extending a finger to touch the brow of the Celestial Lotus Saintess.
In the next second, the gaze of the girl in blue, misted with a faint water vapor and very calm about death, dimmed, losing all vitality swiftly.
The Celestial Lotus Saintess, a projection of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, fell here.
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch gestured, and a River of the Underworld appeared in the void. He placed the girl’s body into the river, allowing her to vanish in its rushing waters.
With another wave, the Yellow Springs disappeared.
"Let’s go, to the next one."
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch said calmly.
Su Yuan said nothing, only nodding slightly.
But for some reason, he felt a sense of blockage in his heart, even though he had only met the Celestial Lotus Saintess once and hadn’t even exchanged words completely.
She was just an illusion, and he didn’t even know her name.
Yet Su Yuan was very angry, a deep-seated killing intent and rage bottled up inside.
This anger and killing intent were not only directed at Fake Chu Jiang but more at the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.
Very well, another reason to stand against you, Immeasurable Calamity Old Deng!
The two left in silence.
But the Qinglian Sect Members, who witnessed this ’murder’, were immersed in tremendous shock and panic.
Because in their eyes, the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch collaborated with Su Yuan, the Master of the Primordial Sect, and personally killed the Celestial Lotus Saintess, a model of righteousness! They even swept her body into the Yellow Springs!
Combined with other righteous geniuses persecuted by the Primordial Sect, the Qinglian Sect Members had to suspect that the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch had been seduced by Old Demon Su, falling into the Demon Dao.
A catastrophe targeting righteous geniuses, righteous leaders, has emerged!
"The Reincarnation Nether Realm is finished! Old Demon Su has enveloped everything under his control!"
"Not just the Reincarnation Nether Realm; during the two realms exchange tournament, Purple Gold Dragon Venerable and Star River Celestial Monarch both maintained close relations with Old Demon Su."
"From the distribution of the red dot, one can also see that it’s not just the Reincarnation Nether Realm being persecuted!"
"Three great Divinity Transformation beings obey a demon, does our Taixu World really have hope?"
As the Qinglian Sect Members spread the news of the Celestial Lotus Saintess’s demise, a wave of condemnation against Su Yuan ensued, and the righteous cultivators’ resistance against the Primordial Sect quietly began!
In the Reincarnation Nether Realm, there were six Nascent Soul Realm, or about to break through to Nascent Soul Realm, Divinity Transformation projections.
Among them, five chose to face death calmly after hearing the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch’s explanation, only one attempted to escape.
Obviously, the latter had already been occupied by the corresponding Abyssal Shadow, and for such existence, there was naturally nothing to be said, directly erased.
