Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Chen Ting is indifferent, but the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor behind him is no small figure.

Currently, Zheng Fa doesn't know much about the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, but every detail leaves a deep impression:

A couple of eras ago, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor entered the Jiushan Realm and killed the previous master, the Heavenly Venerate, of the Jiushan Realm.

In those fragmented memories Zheng Fa received, the Heavenly Venerate was not weak, even being one of the strongest during the Divine Dao Era.

There's even a record of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor having communicated with Tianhe Venerable.

That is a matter of the past.

The "future" matters are what concern Zheng Fa more.

In Mu Qingyan's memories, it seems the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor will establish a force similar to the Nine Netherworld.

If this Netherworld is the same as what Zheng Fa knows, then the hidden power of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor might be far beyond the imagination of those from the Xuanwei Realm.

Even if this Netherworld is just Zheng Fa overthinking.

But the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, at least for three eras, has always stood at the top of the Xuanwei Realm.

There's another matter that makes Zheng Fa regard the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor highly—

He watched Chen Ting kick the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor and transform into a subordinate of the Nine Nether Sect.

At that time, the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor was furious!

But now, it seems the Great Freedom Demon Emperor didn't even notice, as if Chen Ting was a trusted confidant under his command!

To let a mere Golden Core cultivator deceive a Dao Fruit.

This is... somewhat terrifying.

At least it suggests that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor seems stronger than the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor!

Could it be that Chen Ting's communication was his own attempt to inform himself?

That seems unlikely.

The person who truly wants to communicate with him...

Is it the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor?

Therefore, as soon as he saw these two Communication Talismans, he cared immensely.

He held the two Communication Talismans in his hand, read them, and suddenly opened his eyes wide with joy.

Seeing him like this, Zhang, who was nearby, looked over.

Zheng Fa handed the two Communication Talismans to her, and after she looked, her eyebrows raised in surprise.

Master Pang and others after reading were even more shocked.

"The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, was resurrected by the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor?"

"There's a hidden hand within him?"

"He also taught a secret technique?"

Master Pang's tone was urgent, with some joy and disbelief.

Amongst all these matters, Zheng Fa was also a bit confused.

Why would the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, full and idle, want to resurrect the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor?

If resurrected, then resurrected, why kill him?

Isn't that just courting trouble?

Most importantly, why... did the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor place hope on himself?

Is it because of the Fusang Wood Dao Fruit? Or the Qingping Sword?

Then how does he know?

Zheng Fa couldn't figure out these questions now, but he looked at the secret technique taught by the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, and it wasn't really a cultivation method. Instead, it seemed more like an attack method...

Whether the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor can be trusted...

And whether this secret technique can be practiced...

Suddenly, another Communication Talisman flew in, its content very short. So short that after reading, Zheng Fa even looked at it again.

There was only one line of text:

"This cultivation method was passed to me by Tianhe Venerable."

"I'll practice!" Xie Qingxue said immediately upon seeing this, she took out the Qingping Sword, tried twice, and suddenly opened her eyes: "Yes! The Qingping Sword has reacted!"

Zheng Fa breathed a sigh of relief, then looked towards the others.

Master Pang worriedly said: "The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor might be plotting against the Great Freedom Demon Emperor, maybe it's true, or maybe it's false... What if the two of them plot against our Jiushan Sect?"

Zheng Fa was startled, suddenly recalling Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan's famous saying: "What are they plotting?"

It's not that the Yin Yang Jade Pendant or other treasures inside Zheng Fa are not worth plotting for.

But why would these two Demon Ancestors resort to scheming against a small Jiushan Sect?

Why not just come over and smash the Jiushan Realm directly?

Honestly, this self-denying type of comfort even made Master Pang feel it was reasonable!

"According to the previous Communication Talisman, they'll act first."

Zhang slowly nodded and suddenly said: "Let's try!"

Zheng Fa looked at Xie Qingxue, who was also nodding.

Zhang was not because she liked taking risks, but... the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor had been eyeing them for a long time, and if there was a one-time solution.

Even if there's some risk, it's worth a try!

Plus, the Blood River Ancestor attacking Jiushan, they've been hit by the Great Freedom Demon Sect's forces for the third time now!

Don't mention Zhang harboring anger, even Zheng Fa hoped to resolve this trouble.

...

Zhao Jingfan fled with fellow disciples and elders, with the flood tightly following behind them.

He didn't know if the Great Freedom Demon Emperor truly didn't care about them, only wanting to use this slow method to force Zheng Fa out.

Or because of the Haori Mountain Dao Fruit, there was caution in his heart, and he slowed down.

Anyway, they were still far from the tidal wave.

But the mortals on the ground weren't so lucky, one village after another was destroyed, countless people swept into the tide.

Even though Zhao Jingfan wasn't as concerned about mortals as Zheng Fa, he couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

It's just that the Haori Mountain Dao Fruit truly seemed unaffected, its face unchanged like ancient well water.

At this time, there were more people beside him—Mingde Master, Cheng Kong, and Yaochi's God Transformation, all having received news of the change here and already arriving.

But if the Haori Mountain Dao Fruit didn't act, no one dared, nor could anyone stop the Great Freedom Demon Emperor!

On the ground, some commoners were pulling wives, some were carrying children, others were carrying elderly relatives on their backs, all running desperately seeking survival.

But the speed of the rushing water far surpassed the legs of mortals.

One wave after another surged, engulfing one life form after another.

A five or six-year-old girl seemed to have fallen, lying on the ground, crying out loud.

A group of demons blocked the sky over her head.

The sea water already wetted her small feet.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The sound of a clock rang, shaking the surging sea water several meters away.

The little girl's father scrambled over, looking gratefully in the direction the clock sound came from.

The Sun and Moon Clock, infused with Zheng Fa's spiritual power, rose up slowly from the horizon with a warm and majestic aura.

The countless mortals on the ground fled to the distance, while the Sun and Moon Clock marched forward without hesitation, heading towards the Great Freedom Demon Emperor.
