History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  The owner of the cave manor sneered, “But, the Nine-headed Great Sage had suffered a huge loss by the hands of the Jade Clear lineage’s successor.”

  Upon mentioning this, the Daoist’s eyes moved, and the suspicion on his face faded. A look of contemplation slowly appeared on his face, “Do you mean…”

  “You might have known that the Nine-headed Great Sage had suffered a huge loss against the Jade Clear’s Primordial Heavenly Lord’s successor – the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity’s disciple,” said the cave manor’s owner. “What you didn’t know is that there’s a continuation of the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity’s lineage within the Jade Clear successors.”

  The Daoist was now interested. He looked at the cave manor’s owner, waiting for him to continue talking.

  “After the Great Calamity, an extraordinary person appeared within the Jade Clear lineage. His name was Yan Xintang, as he’s a disciple of the Jade Cauldron’s lineage.” The cave manor did not disappoint him. “While Yan Xintang himself had already perished, he has some descendants left behind.”

  “If what I heard is true, the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall had fallen into the hands of Yan Xintang’s grandson, Yan Zhaoge.”

  As he spoke, he looked at that Daoist, “That Yan Xintang had also wed a Prime Clear martial art practitioner as his wife. She is also an extremely talented person that appeared within the Prime Clear lineage after the Great Calamity.”

  “In other words, the current Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall had fallen into the hands of the descendants of the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity and the Incongruence Divine Mother.”

  The owner of the cave manor chuckled and said, “What kind of reaction do you think that the Nine-headed Great Sage would give? While it’s hard to locate the Pill Hall now, the Prime Clear successors are still within the Dao universe. In fact, I’ve heard that their relationship is quite close. In fact, they had been in contact during the past few years. Only, they had been cautious, and we weren’t able to expose it.”

  “That’s smart!” The Daoist touched his beard and smiled, “Using the Incongruence Divine Mother’s successor to locate the Pill Hall.”

  Very quickly, his smile subsided, “Wait, that so-called Yan Xintang or Yan Zhaoge is merely a successor of the Jade Cauldron’s lineage. Would the Nine-headed even vent his anger on them?”

  The owner of the cave manor smiled, “Not to mention whether they know the whereabouts of that person, they have the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall. If the Nine-headed Great Sage were to take action, it would be two birds with one stone.”

  He looked at that Daoist, “About the Pill Hall, we better not be too greedy. Naturally, it’ll be great if we can receive some benefits. Even if there are none, can’t you find an opportunity to vent your anger towards the Incongruence Divine Mother’s descendent?”

  “However, the person that killed your disciples isn’t alive anymore. Now, only her disciples remain in the world. You don’t have to care too much about them.”

  The Daoist snorted, “That filthy woman killed my disciples, and deserves to die. Now, I shall take revenge against her disciples and grant them the fate they deserve.”

  If someone could hold back the Incongruence Divine Mother, he would naturally have to worry less.

  “Erm… Wait. Didn’t a new Grand Heavenly Immortal appear in the Jade Clear lineage? Other than that, the North Star Emperor and the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor are still alive.” The Daoist suddenly remembered.

  The owner of the cave manor nodded, “That’s right. Although they might not be able to take any action, just like the Incongruence Divine Mother, there’s still a possibility.”

  “But don’t worry. Although we’re still fighting against the Western Pure Lands and the Immortal Court heretics, there are still other Great Sages here that have yet to make a move.”

  The Daoist nodded, “If that’s the case, let us meet the Nine-headed Great Sage.”

  “No need to rush. We’re not in a rush at the moment.” The cave manor’s owner halted him. “Within the Daoism’s Three Clear Lineage, other than those few Heavenly Lords, the others shouldn’t be underestimated as well. Besides, the Roving Jade Heavens is presided over by the Prime Clear lineage for a long amount of time, and therefore shouldn’t be underestimated.”

  “Let us find more assistance, as that would increase our chances of success.” The cave manor’s owner looked outside, “It’s about time.”

  The Daoist’s eyes flickered and started contemplating within his heart.

  Sure enough, after a short while, another servant brought someone inside.

  The person that came in was shrouded in a layer of white moonlight. When the moonlight dissipated, a figure of a woman appeared.

  “Brother, what did you call me here for?” After the woman greeted the cave manor’s owner, she looked at the Daoist in surprise, “Isn’t this Daoist Hundred Eyes?”

  The Daoist nodded, “You’ve become much more elegant.”

  The cave manor’s owner said, “Indeed, I have something to discuss with you, which was why I invited you here.”

  After explaining the matters, the woman frowned, “Indeed, the Awakened Sky Hall can only be lured out using this way. However…”

  “Currently, we’re still fighting against the Western Buddhist Lands and the Immortal Court. Although we still have some remaining forces, this would increase the chances of the few Daoism Heavenly Lords to take action. Wouldn’t this spoil His Highness’s plan?” She asked with hesitation.

  “Moreover, there’s a problem.” The woman looked at the Daoist, and said after hesitating for a while, “Is it wise to drag the Prime Clear successor into this? Some of our Great Sages had listened to the Prime Clear successor’s lectures.”

  “Although the Nine-headed Great Sage might take action, shouldn’t we consider these points as well?”

  The Daoist’s expression turned dark and displayed a few hints of displeasure. However, he didn’t voice out any refutation.

  Instead, the cave manor owner smiled, “No need to worry. At least, this wouldn’t be a huge problem.”

  Hearing the words of the cave manor’s owner, the expression of the other two changed, “Oh?”

  “Have you both forgotten? After the Investitures of the Gods era, various Prime clear bigwig experts held some grudges against the Incongruence Divine Mother,” the cave manor’s owner reminded them.

  “Now that the Daoism had declined, the Incongruence Divine Mother’s lineage had managed to become the orthodox Prime Clear lineage. However, we have some people related to the Prime Clear lineage as well who are still hostile towards the Incongruence Divine Mother.”

  The other two came to a revelation.

  “Other than that, Daoist White Deer had been keeping a close eye on them for the past few years,” said the cave manor’s owner. “The Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens might not take revenge for the White Deer. However, if he managed to pique the interest of the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens towards the Pill Hall, wouldn’t’ that be a different matter?”

  “I heard that that old White deer was the earliest one to locate the clues regarding the Pill Hall? Only, he attempted to take it for himself, and yet wasn’t strong enough to do so, which resulted in benefiting others instead.” The Daoist nodded his head, “However, it’ll be for the best if he could convince the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens.”

  It would naturally be for the best if he could receive some benefits from the Pill Hall for the Daoist.

  Even if he didn’t receive any, luring Yan Zhaoge and the Pill Hall out would require intruding the Roving Jade Heavens. At the very least, he could vent out his anger, and his journey there wouldn’t be a waste.

  The woman thought about various factors.

  More and more Demon Race’s Great Sages were putting their attention o
n the Pill Hall. Even if they managed to acquire the Pill Hall in the end, most of the benefits would fall into the possession of those Great Sages.

  However, such a thing was unavoidable, as the Nine-headed Great Sage and other Great Sages were required to fend off the pressure of the Incongruence Divine Mother, as well as the other Daoism Heavenly Lords.

  Otherwise, if she were to go along with her companions, it might not succeed at all. At the very least, there were risks involved.

  The best example would be the White Deer Demon, who intended to pocket the Pill Hall as his possession, resulting in him suffering a considerable loss.

  With this previous lesson, one would naturally think of ways to safely acquire the loot before distributing the loot among themselves.

  It would be hard to tell how much benefits she could get.

  However, she wasn’t greedy, either. She merely desired some spiritual medicines stored within the Pill Hall. If the Demon Race acquired the Pill Hall, it wouldn’t be hard to acquire those medicines.

  These spiritual medicines were essential for her and were extremely rare. As such, it was worth fighting for the Pill Hall.

  At the very least, even if the skies were to crumble down upon them, the Nine-headed Great Sage would handle it for them.

  For her, the sky crumbling might be a huge calamity. However, it was insignificant in the eyes of the Demon Race’s Great Sages.

  “If that’s the case, I have nothing else to ask,” said the woman. “I never expected you to remember me blabbering about wanting some spiritual medicines from the Awakened Sky Hall. Thanks for taking care of me so much. I’m truly grateful for it.”

  The owner of the cave manor smiled and said, “What are you talking about? We’re merely taking care of each other.”

  He said bluntly, “We’ve been waiting for so many years. Now, we’re finally able to appear within the world once more. Of course, we still have to be careful and be wary of every single action we make.”

  “In the past, the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall had an enormous amount of wealth. Naturally, we have to make plans to acquire it. Daoist White Deer was too greedy in the past and brought his disaster upon himself. We have to avoid acting like him.”

  While he was talking, the cave manor’s owner stood up, “Let’s not delay any further. Let us go meet the Nine-headed Great Sage now.”

  The three exit the cave manor together and brought along a few disciples of theirs awaiting their orders. Then, all of them flew out of this world.

  After flying in the Astro Mountains Starry Seas for an unknown period, a world finally appeared in front of their eyes.

  After traversing through the boundaries of space and entering that world, a vast and boundless azure sea appeared in front of their eyes.

  Violent waves were gushing about, and the rampaging Demonic qi was flowing everywhere.

  The three of them entered the bottom of the sea together. After a while, they came out of the sea and went to a distant location.

  It was a long journey. After they left the Astro Mountains Starry Sea, they entered the void’s boundless outskirts.

  After entering the void’s boundless outskirts, they traversed through the cracks left behind by the warping of countless layers of space. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the three finally came to a halt.

  The cave manor’s owner took out a talisman and set it ablaze.

  The talisman was burnt into a cloud of green smoke and remained by the void for an extended amount of time. Instead, it formed into a circle.

  After a while, brilliance radiated from the circle and started flickering a few times.

  Seeing this, the three Great Demons immediately changed their path and flew towards another direction.

  After a long while, brilliance flickered from afar, and an old man came to greet them.

  In the past, he was the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Longevity God’s mount – the White Deer Demon. After the Great Calamity, he had joined the Astro Mountains Starry Sea.

  “You came, Daoist Fuluo. Sorry for not greeting you sooner.” The White Deer Demon cupped his hands after meeting them, “You’re also here, Daoist Hundred Eyes and Profound Rime Fairy. Greetings.”

  Both Fuluo Zi and the Profound Rime Fairy said, “You’re too courteous, Daoist White Deer.”

  On the other hand, Daoist Hundred Eyes seemed a little perfunctory.

  The White Deer Demon noticed it and got a little annoyed.

  Previously, after the matters that happened in the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall were spread around, he became the laughing stock of the Demon Race’s internal sections.

  At the same time, it aroused the dissatisfaction of countless Great Demons.

  Thus, the White Deer Demon could only try his best to remedy the situation. The wound inflicted by Suo Mingzhang in the past had yet to recover. After he could move a little, he immediately rushed towards the Dao universe.

  While he was searching, he was also waiting for the information to arrive, in hopes of locating the whereabouts of Yan Zhaoge and the Pill Hall.

  There were a few times where he almost managed to block off the communication between the Pill Hall and the Roving Jade Heavens. Unfortunately, he failed in the end.

  After meeting Fuluo Zi and the others, and even being scorned by Daoist Hundred Eyes, the White Deer Demon would naturally feel terrible.

  “You’re merely a brute!” The old White Deer was enraged but did not display his emotions.

  He only said, “Daoist Ru Yi and Daoist Huan Chen aren’t far away. Three of you, please follow me. After all of us meet each other, let us discuss our big plan.”

  “Daoist Ru Yi?” The gaze of the three demons wavered a little, “The brother of the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens?”

  The three demons looked at each other and secretly nodded. They became much more cautious.

  The Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens – the Bull Demon King, was undoubtedly one of the most massive moguls within the Astro Mountains Starry Sea cosmos.

  From the looks of it now, even if the old White Deer didn’t manage to convince the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens to take action himself, the involvement of the Great Sage that Pacifies Heavens was quite deep. There was even the possibility of him taking action himself.

  The more moguls present, the higher the victory chances.

  However, correspondingly, after the matters succeeded, the amount of distributed benefits would be even less.

  There were various variables within this matter. As for which side would get more benefits, it would depend on how the matters develop.

  The three of them followed the White Deer Demon. After a while, they saw a billow of colorful clouds.

  The intents of mighty virtue emerged from the colorful clouds, causing a soul-stirring emotion in everyone’s hearts. They almost couldn’t stop themself from worshipping, as if they were facing a monarch.

  That was due to the dragon’s pulse within it. A middle-aged man was sitting on top of the colorful clouds. Although he was in human form, one could tell that an actual dragon manifested his appearance.

  Beside the majestic middle-aged man was a man with a Daoist appearance.

  This man had a pair of phoenix-like eyes and a pair of vertical eyebrows. His face looked ruthless, and he wore a Daoist hat. He was clad in golden clothing. The hair below his forehead was swaying like fire, while the crimson hair by his sides was volumized.

  There were some demons by the surrounding of the colorful clouds, waiting to receive orders.

  Fuluo Zi and the others accompanied the White Deer Demon and got closer to them.

  Upon seeing their arrival, the two people upon the colorful clouds stood up as well, and cupped their hands, “The three of you finally arrived.”

  “Daoist Ru Yi, Daoist Huanchen, sorry for making you two wait.�
�� Fuluo Zi and the others greeted them.

  The middle-aged man dominating over the colorful clouds was of the dragon race. In fact, he belonged to the True Dragon Heritage. His name was Ao Huanchen, and he was often referred to as the Dragon King Huanchen.

  Since the Primitive Era, the Dragon Race had been flourishing for some time. Within the Ancient Myriad Race, they were considered one of the few strongest races.

  However, after entering the ancient Investitures of the Gods era, the Dragon Race started declining. Although there was still an abundance of experts who managed to cultivate the Demon Immortal Realm, they lacked top-notch bigwigs.

  During the mid Journey to the West era, their improvements were minimal as well.

  However, after entering the new era, they had been in hiding, conditioning themselves. Now, they finally had the momentum of returning to their prime.

  Of course, it would be incomparable to how flourished they were during the ancient era. However, within the current Astro Mountains Starry Sea, they would have a place of their own.

  Ao Huanchen was considered much younger than most of the Great Demons present. As such, he was keeping a low-profile. He didn’t say anything and quietly listened to the conversation between the White Deer Demon, Fuluo Zi, and the others.

  However, the other golden-robed Daoist was different.

  He was the younger brother of the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens – the Bull Demon King. He was a Great Demon dominating over an area during the Journey to the West era.

  Within some historical myths, he was referred to as “True Immortal Ru Yi.”

  During this world’s history, when he had just pushed open the Immortal Door, his Demon Immortal title was already changed to the “Great Immortal Ru Yi.”

  Sometimes, people refer to him as Daoist Ru Yi.

  He was currently looking at Fuluo Zi and the other two, and said with an expressionless face, “Do the three of you want to share the spoils of war as well?”

  “May I know if the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens would make a move?” Daoist Hundred Eyes stared at him frankly and answered his question with a question.
