Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

"Aunt Jing, open the door, it's me."

Jun Wuxie stood before the door, transmitting his divine sense sound inside.

He originally intended to push the door open directly, but discovered that Aunt You had placed a restriction barrier on the room.

The sect was very safe, there was no need for such a thing, her doing this clearly meant she didn't want anyone to enter.

"Wuxie, Aunt Jing is in secluded cultivation, she doesn't want to be disturbed, please don't come in."

Jing Ya's voice came from inside, sounding very calm.

"Open the door!"

Jun Wuxie sensed that something was wrong and couldn't help but worry.

"Aunt Jing said she needs to rest."

There was a hint of impatience in Jing Ya's voice.

Jun Wuxie felt even more that something was wrong. With Jing Ya's attitude towards him, she shouldn't be like this. Immediately, regardless of whether she agreed or not, he forcibly tore open the barrier seal on the room.

As soon as he entered, he saw Jing Ya sitting cross-legged on the bed, her face extremely pale, with bloodstains on the corner of her mouth. His heart sank and he hurried over.

"How could this happen?"

He didn't expect that in the short time he had been away, Jing Ya's condition had become so bad, her energy and spirit extremely poor.

"I'm fine, I was just too eager to heal my injuries and suffered some backlash. I'll be fine after some rest. Didn't I say Aunt Jing needed to rest and not let you in?"

Jing Ya frowned slightly, looking up at him, as if blaming him for forcibly entering the room against her wishes.

"You still say you're fine?"

Jun Wuxie came to the bed and reached out to grab her wrist. Jing Ya reflexively pulled her hand behind her, but he still grabbed it.

She struggled but couldn't break free, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

In these days, she could refuse Xiao Xiao and Yin Lan, not letting them in, but she couldn't refuse this little guy. He simply didn't listen to her.

Jun Wuxie checked her physical condition, his expression becoming more and more serious, and said: "How could it become so bad? It shouldn't be like this, how could you make your condition so serious? Even if the origin wound continues to deteriorate, it shouldn't be this fast!"

He saw her origin core, the cracks on it were much larger than before, and the cracks had also increased. The situation was much more serious than before.

You need to know that her origin wound has been more than a year.

In those days when he died, she had no intention of healing her injuries, staying under the Little World Tree, and her physical condition did not deteriorate so quickly.

But in these days, it suddenly accelerated!

"Aunt Jing has already said that there is no major problem, it's just a backlash during healing, and it will be fine after a while. Look at how worried you are, it's not as serious as you think."

Jing Ya's tone was relaxed, and a trace of a smile appeared on her pale face, comforting him.

"It's not serious? What is considered serious then?" Jun Wuxie went to bed and sat cross-legged behind her, condensing his own origin of life and continuously transmitting it into her body, saying: "Your energy and spirit are weak, and your life essence is greatly depleted. Does this look like it's not serious? What exactly did you do?"

Jun Wuxie was both distressed and angry.

If it was normal healing, how could she become like this?

"Little guy, Aunt Jing wants to ask you something, are you planning to take Aunt Jing to the Upper Realm?"

"Aunt Jing, you originally came from the Upper Realm, shouldn't you return to the Upper Realm? You became like this for my sake, of course I have to take you back to the Upper Realm, protect you, and help you repair your origin."

"But Aunt Jing is tired of the fighting in the Upper Realm and doesn't want to go back. I want to stay in the Lower Realm. The rivers and mountains here are so beautiful, and the environment is so harmonious. Moreover, with Yin Lan and Xiao Xiao accompanying Aunt Jing, it won't be boring."

Jun Wuxie's heart trembled when he heard this, and said: "Is Aunt Jing afraid of implicating me? With your personality, so worried about the future of the demon race, so loving of Qing Yu, how could you not want to return to the Upper Realm! Besides, if you stay in the Lower Realm, when will your injuries heal? This matter is absolutely not allowed!"

Even if the future environment of the Lower Realm will change, and various treasures of heaven and earth will be bred, it will take a long time to evolve.

Aunt Jing's condition is so bad that she can't wait until that time.

"No, Aunt Jing is really tired and doesn't want to go back to the Upper Realm. In this matter, Aunt Jing is determined and will not go to the Upper Realm with you."

Her attitude was very firm, with a tone that did not allow for discussion.

"I am also determined to take you back to the Upper Realm, whether you want to or not! If you don't want to, I will forcibly take you away, there is no room for discussion in this matter!"

"You…"

Jing Ya's pale lips trembled slightly, and she sighed deeply in her heart.

She knew this little guy's character too well. No one can change the things he decides.

She could feel that he felt guilty and self-blame in his heart towards her, feeling that he was the reason she had fallen into this state, so he wanted to take on this responsibility.

But she didn't want that.

While Jun Wuxie used the origin of life to help her stabilize her life essence, he said: "Aunt Jing, tell me the truth, what exactly did you do to yourself? Also, what are you worried about?"

Aunt Jing remained silent when she heard this.

"Speak!"

Jun Wuxie frowned, her situation was too special.

Although the cracks in the origin were serious, they only deteriorated slowly in that year, and it was impossible for them to suddenly become like this in a short period of time.

"Do you know what kind of bloodline Aunt Jing has besides being a Qingluan descendant?" Jing Ya sighed helplessly, "You have no foundation or background in the Upper Realm, you will encounter many challenges and face many difficulties. If you take Aunt Jing with you, it will only make your situation worse. Moreover, once Aunt Jing's secret is exposed, it will bring you a fatal disaster…"

Jun Wuxie's heart skipped a beat and said: "Aunt Jing, you are a dual bloodline? But why can't I detect it, can't see it?"

He guessed from Jing Ya's words that her second bloodline was probably extraordinary, and that bloodline would bring disaster to her.

That was why she didn't want him to take her back to the Upper Realm, for fear of implicating him.

"Aunt Jing's secret, no one in this world knows except Aunt Jing herself. But today, Aunt Jing wants to tell you her secret…"

She paused slightly here, and then said: "In the Upper Realm, a long time ago, terrible things happened. During that period, the cultivation environment in the Upper Realm became extremely harsh, the world was filled with bloody rain, which lasted for a long time. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, the environment of heaven and earth gradually recovered, but it could never return to its former state. Do you know why? All this is because the Heaven of the Upper Realm fell…"

"What?" Jun Wuxie was shocked and said incredulously: "The Heaven that Aunt Jing is talking about refers to the Dao of Heaven in the Upper Realm?"

"Yes, it is the Dao of Heaven in the Upper Realm."

"So, since then, there has been no Dao of Heaven in the Upper Realm?"

"It was like that for a period of time, but later a new Dao of Heaven was born."

"What does this have to do with Aunt Jing's bloodline?"

Jun Wuxie's heart was beating a little faster, and he had a kind of speculation that he himself found unbelievable.

"Because Aunt Jing is the former Heaven of the Upper Realm…"

"What?"

Jun Wuxie's hand trembled, he couldn't believe his ears.

She turned out to be the fallen Dao of Heaven of the Upper Realm?

"So, Aunt Jing, you… are the reincarnation of the Dao of Heaven?"

"Hehe, people all say that the Dao of Heaven is reincarnated, but the truth is that there is no real reincarnation in the world at all. When you go to the Netherworld, do you see the reincarnation of all beings there?"

"It seems that there is indeed no reincarnation. After everyone dies, their souls are led to the Netherworld, and they are all trapped inside. It has been like this for all ages, and I have never heard of anyone being able to reincarnate…"

Jun Wuxie's heart suddenly shook violently, and he realized that he had overlooked this very important issue.

There is no reincarnation in the Netherworld, so is the reincarnation that people often say fake?

But there are many reincarnated people around him, so what is going on?

"Aunt Jing did not completely fall in those years, leaving a wisp of the Primordial Spirit of the Dao of Heaven, preserving a very small part of Aunt Jing's Dao Fruit and all her memories. It was not until this era after eternity that the wisp of Primordial Spirit began to awaken…"

Jun Wuxie listened quietly. It turned out that after Aunt Jing's Primordial Spirit awakened, she found that she existed in the body of a certain powerful demon, and merged with the fetus in her body.

So she had a real body and became a member of the demon race.

It's just that after she was born, the Primordial Spirit was dormant due to special reasons, and gradually awakened after adulthood, slowly recovering some memories, but the power of the Dao Fruit was always difficult to absorb.

Her mother also died because of giving birth to her.

Perhaps the newborn Dao of Heaven sensed something and descended a terrible heavenly tribulation when her mother was about to give birth.

Her mother was already very weak at that time. While resisting the heavenly tribulation, she was giving birth, and while protecting her, she eventually ran out of oil and withered, and fell under the heavenly tribulation at the moment she gave birth to her, both body and soul destroyed.

"I didn't expect that Aunt Jing, you would have such an identity and origin… Everyone says that the Dao of Heaven is ruthless, but the Dao of Heaven I know is not all ruthless, whether it is the Dao of Heaven in the Lower Realm, or Aunt Jing, the former Heaven of the Upper Realm…"

"The Dao of Heaven is ruthless, but it is not absolute. The Dao of Heaven has feelings for its spokesman in the world, the Son of Heaven's Mandate. Aunt Jing is the reincarnation of the Dao of Heaven, and it is not surprising that she has human emotions in this life."

"So, Aunt Jing is afraid that returning to the Upper Realm will expose your identity as the reincarnation of the Dao of Heaven and lead to a murderous disaster? Are you worried about the current Dao of Heaven?"

"Not only that, the current Dao of Heaven in the Upper Realm has fallen into a deep sleep, I can feel it. Therefore, the temporary threat is not from him, but from the legend of the fall or reincarnation of the Dao of Heaven that has been circulating in the Upper Realm for a long time. My situation is very bad, I am worried that when I arrive in the Upper Realm, I may not be able to control the Dao Fruit. At some point, some characteristics may appear on my body and be seen through."

"Do you know what it means to refine the Heavenly Dao Body in legends? Actually, it can't be said to be a legend, because what is circulating is the truth. It should be someone who deliberately released such news in a certain era..."

"So what?" Jun Wuxie's mood gradually calmed down. He calmed down from the shock and said, "Aunt Jing, you spared no expense to use yourself as a bridge, just to give me a chance of survival. Now that you have fallen into such a situation, how can I abandon you in the lower realm?"

"You will die! Once my secret is exposed, I can't imagine what kind of situation I will face!"

"Then let them come! In the past, Aunt Jing protected me, but now let me protect you until your origin is restored and your realm is recovered. No matter what I will face, I am fearless, and I hope Aunt Jing, you don’t worry about it. In my life, I have experienced so many near-death experiences, and countless people wanted to kill me, but I am still alive and standing at the top of the lower realm. In this life, there are things to do and things not to do. When it is time to take responsibility, why fear life and death!"

"Oh, you little fellow, why are you so stubborn?"

Jing Ya sighed helplessly. Knowing her secret and what she might face in the future, he was still so firm and unwavering.

She was very happy in her heart, but also very helpless and worried, not wanting to hurt him because of herself.

"Aunt Jing, this is not a question of being stubborn or not, but that I, Jun Wuxie, cannot be an ungrateful person. You have been kind to me. If I ignore you in this situation, wouldn't I be worse than a beast? Cultivators don't cultivate heartlessness, let alone indifference, selfishness, and self-interest. They must stick to principles and bottom lines."

"Why bother?"

Jing Ya shook her head gently. Even if she recovered, what could she do? In the end, she would not see hope in the future.

This is also the reason why she valued Jun Wuxie and placed the hope of the demon race's future on him.

She is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, but the Dao Fruit is incomplete, less than one-tenth of what it was. In the future, she is destined to be unable to cultivate to the powerful level she once was when she was the Azure Heaven of the Upper Realm.

Moreover, as the power of her Dao Fruit begins to release, once the newborn Heaven in the Upper Realm wakes up and detects her existence, her path will come to an end.

This is an unsolvable knot.

In the Upper Realm, who can contend with the Heavenly Dao?

Unless one cultivates to the pinnacle of the Eternal Saint Realm.

But reality cannot give her so much time. Because her Dao Fruit is incomplete, even her Azure Luan bloodline has been affected, and she cannot cultivate to that level. The Primordial Saint Realm should be the highest limit.

"Aunt Jing, your state of mind is not right. You shouldn't be discouraged. You must be full of hope for the future. You are the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao from the Upper Realm, how can you be like this? Believe in yourself, believe in me. As long as you are alive, there are infinite possibilities in the future. Hope is always ahead, as long as we work hard, there is a possibility of realizing it!"

"Aunt Jing can only rely on you now. Anyway, I can't stop you, and I can't resist. You little fellow is too domineering..."

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. Can he not be domineering in this matter?

"By the way, Aunt Jing, what is the reincarnation you mentioned? Since there is no reincarnation in the world, why do the reincarnation bodies of powerful cultivators appear frequently?"

"Since Aunt Jing was born and became conscious, I have never seen a real reincarnation, whether in the Upper Realm or even higher-level universe worlds. As for the reincarnation bodies of powerful cultivators you mentioned, that is not true reincarnation, but just using special means to live a second life. The premise is that they must retain a wisp of primordial spirit, which is what you call a wisp of true soul. And the real reincarnation should be that unless the primordial spirit is completely wiped out, even if the primordial spirit is completely dissipated, it can still be completely reunited in the Netherworld, enter the reincarnation passage, and be reborn as a human being."

"Real reincarnation? So, there was once a real reincarnation in the world?"

"According to the clues that Aunt Jing has learned from some ancient legends, it seems that there was once a real reincarnation in the world. But the reality is that Aunt Jing has never seen a real reincarnation and doesn't know what went wrong. The Netherworld should have been a place for the reincarnation of all living beings after death, but the reality is not the case..."

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but ponder upon hearing this.

He had also thought about what is the meaning of the existence of the Netherworld?

The Book of Life and Death attracts the souls of dead creatures to the Netherworld, but it does not attract the primordial spirit. Why is this?

Moreover, after being attracted to the Netherworld, those souls are trapped in the world of the Netherworld, unable to escape forever, and unable to be reborn.

Could it be because of the lower realm that the corresponding Book of Life and Death in the Netherworld does not attract the primordial spirit? After all, only creatures at the highest realm in the lower realm can cultivate the primordial spirit?

"Aunt Jing, you said before that even in universe worlds higher than the Upper Realm, it is the same. How do you know, Aunt Jing? Have you been to a higher world?"

"Of course, I have been to other universes, worlds higher than the Upper Realm."

Jun Wuxie was very surprised, "Aunt Jing, you used to be able to travel freely between high and low worlds? What realm were you when you were the Heavenly Dao?"

"I guess so."

Jing Ya said that the realm of the Heavenly Dao is not limited by the upper limit of the universe it is in, but is directly proportional to the length of its existence. The longer the Heavenly Dao exists, the higher its realm.

She was born when the Upper Realm universe was born, and slowly gained consciousness, controlling the order of the Upper Realm's heaven and earth. Naturally, her realm is much higher than the upper limit that the Upper Realm can reach.

"What about the current Heavenly Dao?"

"He is newly born, only three or four epochs ago, and because I, the former Heavenly Dao, have not completely perished, his growth is very slow. Now, it is estimated that he is only equivalent to the pinnacle of the Upper Realm."

She said that the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao is different from that of all living beings. This is also the reason why the newborn Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm is always asleep. Growing in sleep is faster.

The Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm only wakes up occasionally, sometimes once every few decades, to understand the many things in the world, and sometimes once every hundred years.

"Then what is there to worry about? In a few decades, maybe I will be able to contend with him. If he wants to touch you, he has to ask me if I agree!"

Jun Wuxie's words sounded very arrogant. He wanted to contend with the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm in a few decades, but he had great confidence in himself.

Because this era is different from the past. The most prosperous golden age in ancient times in the Upper Realm has begun, ushering in the most hopeful years.

In this era, various geniuses are emerging, and all kinds of miracles may occur.

Those opportunities that have never appeared before may appear one after another, giving the world infinite hope. Then, the growth rate of all living beings cannot be measured by old thinking.

"When we get to the Upper Realm, we'll start from scratch, gradually growing from the lowest realm of cultivators in the Upper Realm. That way, your secret won't be so easily exposed, and even if it is, I have the ability to deal with it, so don't worry so much."

"I have no choice but to do so. Then let's go to the extreme east of the Eastern Realm of the Upper Realm. It's next to the East Sea and in front of the Eastern Hengduan Mountains. You can take that as your starting point. It's just that when we go to the Upper Realm, it's difficult to choose the corresponding area in the Upper Realm to open the realm path. This is a difficulty that we have to face..."

"I have a way."

Jun Wuxie withdrew his hands, got out of bed, put on his boots, and said, "Aunt Jing, take good care of yourself. Although you refuse to say what you did to yourself that caused your injuries to worsen so quickly, from now on, you can't do that again, otherwise I will really be angry. Only when you are well can I feel at ease."

"Go do your thing. Aunt Jing won't do it again. I'll listen to you."

Jing Ya looked at him gently with gentle eyes. After watching him leave, she couldn't help but smile, and then there was a hint of worry on her face, and she let out a soft sigh, after all, she has become his burden...
