Chapter 228 Relics
The Demon Lord agreed to lend them divine power, but also forced them to form a blood pact, using them as tools to conceive a demonic fetus.
These people were forced to sacrifice their bodies, their souls, and even their offspring who should not have existed.
The power of the Ghost Talisman is borrowed from the Demon Lord's divine power. As they borrow more and more divine power, the blood pact will gradually strengthen, and the bloodline will gradually become special. With each generation of bloodline inheritance, someone will eventually give birth to a true demon fetus.
Only when the Demon Lord is successfully born with the help of the Demon Fetus will it be considered a perfect rebirth.
When Jiang Jiu was alive, the cultivation world was at its peak. Although only one Supreme God remained, countless other immortals had ascended to immortality. Demons could only be driven to hide and flee, utterly powerless to contend with cultivators.
Her physical body was destroyed, leaving only a remnant soul; her strength was far inferior to what it once was. She couldn't afford to confront these cultivators head-on. Everything would have to wait until a new physical body was formed.
So she led the surviving members of this small sect to rebuild the Jiujiang Sect, which became famous throughout the world for its unique Ghost Talisman technique.
The Jiujiang Sect didn't have a good reputation at first. Although its strength improved, while other sects were fighting demons and upholding justice, the members of the Jiujiang Sect were only concerned with petty theft and indulging in pleasure. Jiang Jiu lived a carefree life, always accompanied by a group of people. In just two years, she led the Jiujiang Sect to gradually gain a foothold among the cultivation sects, becoming one of the top sects.
But to everyone's surprise, she also attracted the attention of the celestial deity, Qingdeng, just as Qingdeng was recruiting disciples.
He came specifically to ask her if she was willing, but would she dare? If she recognized him, her happy days would be over. It was also because she was too outstanding; no matter how he refused, she wouldn't give up.
Jiang Jiu knew about this green lamp; she had seen it when the gods destroyed her demon realm and killed her physical body. But she never imagined that after ten thousand years, he would be the only remaining priest.
This man was strange; before she had even done anything, he could tell that she had wicked intentions and feared that she would fall into evil ways.
She still remembers their first conversation.
Qingdeng asked, "You have superior aptitude and are exceptionally intelligent. Would you be willing to become my disciple so that you can ascend to immortality as soon as possible?"
Jiang Jiu: "You're really arrogant. Why would I give up being the sect leader and master to serve you tea and water? Who do you think you are?"
Qingdeng: "It is the responsibility of cultivators to subdue demons and protect the common people. As the sect leader and master, you only care about taking your disciples to play with cats and dogs all day long. In the future, the disciples you cultivate will hardly become great."
Jiang Jiu feigned surprise, "Responsibility? Who gave them responsibility? You? And what did those demons do to you that you're going to kill them all? Cultivating immortality is all about living longer and being happier. Don't worry, the disciples of my Jiujiang Sect will definitely live longer and be happier than other disciples with responsibilities!"
She had barely finished feeling smug when that bitch Qingdeng set her up.
She lost her memory and became a fool who believed whatever anyone told her to.
Qingdeng took her back and thoroughly brainwashed her. When she returned to the cultivation world, she cultivated like a madwoman, leading the Jiujiang Sect to become the number one sect in the world.
At first, she didn't care about ascending to immortality. What a joke! With her strength, ascension was just a matter of minutes. She didn't even care about becoming an immortal. She was going to ascend to godhood sooner or later!
But when her cultivation level was already high enough, and those around her who were far inferior to her had all ascended to immortality, while she herself could not ascend, her mentality collapsed.
Even worse, she discovered that her soul was slowly dissipating. Why? She had tried so hard for so long, yet she couldn't even achieve immortality?
Thus, she harbored resentment, and during her cultivation, she easily suffered a qi deviation and became possessed.
Looking back now, I realize how incredibly stupid I was. A dignified demon lord was driven to madness by the fact that he couldn't even be a minor deity.
Having fallen under the influence of a demon, he regained his memories and realized that his soul was at its last gasp. The only way for him to survive was to be born as a demonic fetus.
At this moment, Qingdeng also discovered her identity, so she decided to strike first. Just then, Chi Qing predicted that the Demon Lord would appear, and Jiang Jiu seized this opportunity to orchestrate a grand spectacle for his planned death—the Nine Rivers Sect Master perished together with the Demon Lord!
In this way, no one would suspect her, let alone the Jiujiang Sect.
Later, it was said that the news of her killing the Demon Lord was personally confirmed by the God of the Green Lamp.
Without her leadership, the Jiujiang Sect did not decline, but instead went down the path of becoming a prestigious and righteous sect, and even after hundreds of years, it chose to be wiped out rather than let the Demon Lord live in the world.
This is a well-deserved number one sect of the righteous path, and a true number one family of cultivators.
She has now been successfully reborn and regained her memories, but she is not happy at all. Instead, she is in more pain and more confused.
Who is she?
Wen Li? Jiang Jiu? Or the Demon Lord?
Were those people really her? So much time has passed that Jiang Jiu and the Demon Lord seem to have become a deep memory.
When she awakened her memories, Jiuying was by her side. Jiuying is the strongest demon in the world besides her, but ten thousand years ago she was just one of the most inconspicuous of the few pets she kept.
It was a little demon whose name she couldn't even remember. Back then, her mount was the ancient ferocious beast, Jiuying, not this little snake demon in front of her.
So her name is also Jiuying?
"Your Excellency, before the Demon Realm was destroyed, you played a game with me to collect spirit orbs. You threw them so far that when I found the orb and returned to the Demon Realm, everyone was already dead, not even bones were left. The Demon Realm was also destroyed."
"Your Majesty, I knew you were still alive! I always believed you were alive. Jiuying will never leave you again."
A tall, alluring beauty lay at her feet, sobbing pitifully. Wen Li kicked her away without a shred of pity.
Wen Li, who used to think that living for several decades was long enough, suddenly has tens of thousands of years of memories. Compared to her time as the Demon Lord, the thirty-odd years she has lived as Wen Li are too short, but she is Wen Li now.
The Demon Lord and Jiang Jiu are people from the past.
In the past, the Demon Lord wanted to protect demons, Jiang Jiu wanted to become an immortal or a god, and Wen Li...
Wen Li just wants to end all of this now.
She was in so much pain; fragments of memories, thoughts, and feelings from that time were all clashing in her mind.
"Why did it turn out like this! Why did it turn out like this!"
Contrary to what Jiuying had imagined, the once powerful and omnipotent Venerable One had gone mad, questioning her. No, it seemed like he wasn't even questioning her.
"How could the cultivation world have become like this! A bunch of scattered rogue cultivators are nothing!"
"And what about you? How did you all become like this! You call your cultivation level so low 'strong'? You think someone with a cultivation level of several thousand years is a great demon?"
"Why! Why! Why is there so little spiritual energy here!"
"How can you cultivate like this! How can you possibly cultivate like this!"
"How can you be so weak! How can you all be so weak! You're all a bunch of useless trash! A bunch of useless trash!"
Jiuying was a little frightened; she didn't know that along with tens of thousands of years of memories came this immense sense of loss.
Wen Li felt immense pain, even more so than when she was in Danli.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has sharply declined, and the cultivation world has regressed too much. Neither cultivators nor demons are comparable to what they used to be. If this trend continues, there will be no more cultivators or demons capable of cultivating and transforming into human form in the world. However, there are still millions of demons living in the world, and no cultivators who can stand against them.
In this tiny human world, there are demons who can destroy the entire world in the blink of an eye, monsters who have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, immortal cultivators who have worked hard for decades but were easily killed, and mortals who can be considered long-lived after living for fifty years...
Unlike the cultivators born in this era, the demons trapped in Ghost Valley for five hundred years are relics left behind by the old world that has long since vanished.
—She is too.
