Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

```

Shen Qing was not surprised.

Long ago, he had already heard some rumors.

The reason the Huang Tian Sect rose so rapidly in recent years was precisely because they obtained the Ancient Relics.

Now, it's been confirmed.

But...

Is the foundation of the Ancient Relics really that deep? Can it actually allow a new force that has only developed for a little over a decade to rival the Ji Family?

Shen Qing felt a bit puzzled in his heart.

The elder across seemed to have noticed the confusion in Shen Qing's heart and said, "Saint Heir, you probably don't know how glorious the Human Clan was during the Ancient Times."

Shen Qing's expression became serious, and he continued to ask, "I often hear many people mention the Ancient Era. I want to know what exactly is in that era that makes all of you yearn for it so much?"

"In that era, there were Immortals and the Immortality Technique!"

Upon hearing these words, Shen Qing's expression slightly changed. To speak of it, this was the first time he had heard such resolute words from others.

At this moment, the image of that perfect woman inevitably emerged in his mind.

"Then why did such an era disappear?"

"Because of demons," said the elders of the Huang Tian Sect, "Which is why we sought you."

Seeing the virtuous demeanor of the Huang Tian Sect elders, Shen Qing felt even more perplexed.

He had too little information, unable to reason out more content from it.

One of the elders from the Huang Tian Sect further explained, "We have all heard of your deeds in Yongzhou, where you slew countless demons. Moreover, this time as you came all the way from Jinzhou, you even wiped out numerous places referred to as 'Cai City.' It shows you have a heart for slaying demons, which aligns with our goals."

"Besides, at such a young age, you have already reached the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Your cultivation Sight can be described as monstrous, a height even the Daoist Master has not reached. If you were to join our sect, what reason would we have to refuse?"

Shen Qing subconsciously felt a bit bewildered, unsure of himself, and said uncertainly, "So you want me to eliminate demons?"

An elder gently shook his head and added, "Not to eliminate demons, but to save the Human Clan. Has the Saint Heir not noticed that the demons in the world today are increasingly more numerous?"

Shen Qing carefully recalled and indeed felt this was true.

When he lived in Hongshan Village, for generations, no one had ever heard of the term 'demon.'

But since he entered the city, the demons became increasingly numerous, to the point of overflowing in the end.

Perhaps the term 'Cai City' existed in other places long ago, with many Shi families deliberately blocking the news, hence very little was known, which is understandable.

But it would never be like this.

Hearing the elder's meaning from the Huang Tian Sect, there is a deeper reason here.

Shen Qing grew curious and signaled to continue.

One of the elders from the Huang Tian Sect spoke, "Saint Heir, you don't know, beyond this world, there exist Heavenly Demons from other realms that practically feed on the Human Clan. Each of them is incredibly powerful; even a single wisp of their aura can crush a mountain and transform countless demons. Even humans find it hard to bear their weight."

"Our ancestors of the Human Clan created a Protective Array against these demons. Within this Formation, the external Heavenly Demons cannot get in, and we cannot go out."

"However, the nature's spiritual energy in this world is nearly exhausted after operating the Formation for thousands of years, nearing the point of collapse. The external demon energy is constantly invading this place, thus creating rampant demons."

Heavenly Demon Clan, just their demon energy invasion is enough to spawn so many demons?

Shen Qing gasped, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Just how powerful would the real Heavenly Demon Clan be? He couldn't imagine.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Shen Qing's mind, recalling something Ji Zikong had mentioned before.

He asked, "Does the Emperor Ji Zikong of the Great Zhou also know about this matter?"

"Yes," said an elder from the Huang Tian Sect, whose hair and beard were both white, "Not only does he know, but the entire Ji Clan knows, preparing for it for over nine hundred years to escape from such a 'Prison'."

Another elder supplemented, "Unfortunately, despite all their calculations, they never expected a descendant like Ji Zikong to emerge, taking over the plots of the entire Ji Clan, attempting to achieve personal gain and prove his unique Dao."

"As far as we know, Ji Zikong is refining the inheritance of the Ji Family and the major Shi families to break through to the Heaven's End Realm and confront the Heavenly Demons. After our rigorous assessments, the Immortal Martial Mechanism he possesses is insufficient to support him reaching that point. So, once he breaks through and emerges, he will certainly have to seize the vitality of seventy percent of the people in the world to achieve it."

"By that time, the meager foundation of the Human Clan will no longer be able to exit this world. The time left for us is not much."

After hearing this, Shen Qing couldn't help but give them a few more looks, not expecting them to have such grand objectives.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"To be honest, we are not temple officials; we are ordinary Jianghu Martial Artists. Given the Martial Mechanism has been taken by the Ji Family, it's already extraordinary for us old immortals to break through to the Spirit Void Realm. To go further is simply impossible. Reaching our current level is purely due to some external techniques, but you are different."

"The foundation of the Tianxuan Sect is vast, and we have only utilized two to three tenths of it. So, we want to entrust this foundation to you, hoping that you reach the peak before the sky collapses and carve a noble path for our Human Clan."
