Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Overseas of Tianjian Continent.

The Demon Master and Ji Meng remained in a standoff.

It was evident that Ji Meng wouldn't leave unless the Demon Master gave in.

After a lengthy impasse.

The Demon Master heaved a deep sigh.

He was prepared to agree.

After all, he was a being from an old era.

Even if he wanted to align with the New Heavenly Dao, he had no means to.

It might be better to simply side with the Old Heavenly Dao.

Just as the Demon Master was about to speak.

From the Tianjian Continent, faint traces of an aura spread over.

For the common folk, this aura was nearly imperceptible.

But for the Demon Master and Ji Meng, it was easily noticed.

Both of their gazes quickly turned towards the Tianjian Continent.

With their keen vision, they could effortlessly discern what was happening.

Across the Tianjian Continent, numerous specks of light started to scatter and rise rapidly towards the Firmament.

The Demon Master and Ji Meng did not know what those lights were.

But they could see, they knew, that these points of light were merging with the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, after the lights merged with the Heavenly Dao.

There were signs of feedback from the Heavenly Dao!

"What exactly is in this continent you control? Have you already pledged allegiance to the New Heavenly Dao?!"

Ji Meng's expression turned icy in an instant, as he lifted his Trident and pointed it directly at the Demon Master.

"How would I know what's there? If I had sided with the New Heavenly Dao, would I need a Heavenly Dao Stone to shield myself from the Heavenly Dao?"

"Also, remember the disparity between your status and mine! Don't think that just because I've let you off a few times, you can defeat me!"

The Demon Master's face was also extremely ugly, his eyes revealing a shade of darkness.

A shadow resembling a book faintly emerged behind him.

A formidable presence emanated from his being.

Upon hearing this.

Ji Meng still pointed the Trident at the Demon Master, but his expression was no longer as frosty.

It seemed he too felt there was some sense in what the Demon Master had said.

After a moment of silence.

Ji Meng spoke again.

"If you haven't sided with the New Heavenly Dao, why are you hesitating to pledge allegiance to the Old Heavenly Dao?"

Ji Meng posed the question in this manner.

"In the clash of the Heavenly Dao, the Catastrophic Tribulation, the Era of Great Strife, if one chooses the wrong side, a moment of carelessness could lead to oblivion, an end where existence is no more—how could you expect me to make a hasty decision?"

The Demon Master was infuriated beyond measure.

The conflict between the New and Old Heavenly Dao.

It was not something one could easily get involved with.

In the struggle of the Heavenly Dao.

All things are but pawns.

One false step could lead to downfall.

This kind of downfall was definitively irreversible.

Under the force of the conflict for the Heavenly Dao, it would absolutely erase any trace of them.

"You have no choice..."

Ji Meng coldly spat out these words.

"Yes, I have no choice..."

The Demon Master took a deep breath and slowly said.

His words fully conveyed his thoughts.

As he said this.

Ji Meng lowered his Trident.

The harshness in his eyes faded somewhat, but suspicion still lingered.

He knew well that this Demon Master before him was not one to be blindly loyal.

This one had betrayed and fled during a great battle.

Being on guard was non-negotiable.

"What exactly is in the continent you control that relates to the New Heavenly Dao?"

Ji Meng looked towards the Tianjian Continent and asked coldly.

"How would I know what's there? I have exterminated all beings of the new era on this continent, and only those revived from the old era remain."

"Whatever it is, we will know as soon as we investigate..."

The Demon Master's words fell silent.

His Divine Sense wildly swept out.

With the Divine Sense of the Immortal Realm, it directly covered the entire Tianjian Continent, conducting a carpet-like search.

Ji Meng seemed worried that the Demon Master would see something but not speak up, and he also used his Divine Sense, in an even more covering manner, to overshadow the Divine Sense of the Demon Master.

Demon Master: "..."

Do you really have to be this distrustful of me?

The Demon Master's expression turned unsightly, but he didn't say anything and continued observing with his Divine Sense.

As he scanned across the whole Tianjian Continent, he found nothing amiss.

"The source of this aura... I don't know where that aura just now came from,"

the Demon Master slowly shook his head and said.

"You can't find it? Or you don't want to find it?"

Ji Meng spoke with a weird intonation.

The Demon Master's face immediately darkened.

He truly didn't know what to say.

This guy...

was clearly belittling him.

"If I said I can't find it, then I can't. If you don't believe me, look for yourself. I've already scanned it with my Divine Sense, and my Divine Sense can observe everything—flesh, soul, Primordial Spirit, and spirit. If there is anything unusual in the Tianjian Continent, I would completely be able to see it,"

the Demon Master huffed.

What kind of being was he?

An ancient figure well-known in the old era.

In his eyes,

nothing could escape.

Whether it was the physical body, or the soul, Primordial Spirit, or spirit, none could elude his Divine Sense.

"I clearly saw a place in this continent that is impossible to probe. How do you explain that?"

Ji Meng said with a cold voice.

"Which one?"

the Demon Master raised his eyebrow.

With a wave of Ji Meng's hand,

the air twisted for a while, and then a water-screen-like thing appeared, showing the dilapidated city where the Human Race was barely surviving, which had been seen earlier.

"This, how do you explain it? My Divine Sense can't penetrate this city at all,"

Ji Meng said coldly.

"This city has nothing to do with the New Heavenly Dao. You can investigate carefully—the aura of this city has nothing to do with the New Heavenly Dao. According to some records of the original Races of this continent, this city appeared out of thin air one day. I suspect it emerged from a spatial turbulence, belonging to something from another world,"

the Demon Master explained.

"From another world? Have you ever entered this city?"

Ji Meng asked, frowning.

"Can't get in. The flag on top of the city blocks us. That flag seems to give special protection to the Human Race,"

the Demon Master said.

Upon hearing this,

Ji Meng grew even more puzzled.

He attempted to use his Divine Sense to spread towards the city, trying to hit it.

But as soon as his Divine Sense neared the city,

an old flag atop the city emitted golden light.

As this light appeared, it directly repelled Ji Meng's Divine Sense, not allowing it anywhere near.

Far away, Ji Meng abruptly opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the city.

"See? That city, we simply can't touch it,"

the Demon Master laughed out as if he perceived Ji Meng's plight.

"The aura of the flag in that city... It feels somewhat like the aura of incense, but also a bit like the aura of faith,"

Ji Meng said with a frown.

"There's no need to be concerned about this city; it has no impact on the struggle for the Heavenly Dao,"

the Demon Master shook his head and said.

"Hmm, Demon Master, since you chose the Old Heavenly Dao, then you should know how to assist the Old Heavenly Dao, right?"

Ji Meng resumed his cold tone.

"I know. In the recent period, I will begin to search for places in this realm rich in destiny, where those abundant in destiny must be a gathering of Tianjiao,"

the Demon Master nodded and said.

The simplest way to trigger the Catastrophic Tribulation was to break the balance of the world.

And as for breaking the world's balance, aside from slaughtering the creatures of the New Heaven and Earth, hunting the Tianjiao of the New Heaven and Earth was the easiest.

Tianjiao, the pride of the heavens, whether more or less, carry the destiny of the Heavenly Dao.

Hunting too many will inevitably break the balance of the world!
