The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 952
Chapter 952 Ashes Reborn
All of the Evil King Sect members had died, leaving only an empty shell left in the Evil King General Branch, quietly empty.
Li Qing swept his divine sense over the place and saw everything that was happening in this place. Among them, there were some evil things that Li Qing burned down with a single flame, and the rest of the valuable things were all taken away.
The Great Evil King had collected many precious materials, many of which he intended to use to resurrect. Now, all of them had been accepted by Li Qing and swept away.
In the deepest depths of the Evil King Sect, there was another secret. Inside were numerous flesh and blood passages, which were like beehives, used to hatch demonic beasts. Li Qing felt that this thing was still useful, so he used Yin-yang Chaos Bottle to store it.
When he finished searching for everything, Li Qing saw that there were no more omissions, so he struck out with his palm, completely destroying this evil place.
Ever since then, all traces of the Evil King Sect in the world had been cleaned up by Li Qing and completely disappeared from the world. It was basically impossible for there to be any remaining evils. This cut off all hope of the Great Evil King’s resurrection.
The Myriad Devil Sect’s operation this time was quite impressive. Naturally, it attracted the attention of Righteous path experts, curious about what the Myriad Devil Sect was doing.
Scouts and spies were indispensable to any faction, as was the Myriad Devil Sect. Very quickly, the various forces learned through various channels that the Myriad Devil Sect had been sweeping away the Evil King Sect, causing a great deal of shock.
“What is Li Qing doing? Are you going to make an enemy of the Great Evil King?” They were puzzled.
“It seems that many of the evil cult strongholds have been swept clean by the Myriad Devil Sect. This time, we will definitely offend the Great Evil King completely. When the time comes, it will be good for Righteous path if these two villains bite the bullet.”
“My guess is that the Great Evil King will soon sweep through the Myriad Devil Sect’s stronghold with his own methods. At that time, both sides will suffer losses.”
However, what they had guessed did not happen. The Great Evil King seemed to have completely disappeared, disappearing without a trace. Even the Evil King Sect did not react after being attacked.
This was definitely an abnormal situation!
Who was the Great Evil King? Insidious, cunning, and extremely evil, how could he allow others to stand on his head and shit without any reaction?
“Could something have happened to the Great Evil King?” Someone guessed.
“Impossible! No one in this world can kill the Great Evil King, not even Emperor Hongwu. Only if Li Qing and Emperor Hongwu work together to control the Great Evil King with the Eternal Heavenly Saber will there be a sliver of possibility.”
“Emperor Hong Wu cooperated with Li Qing back then and annihilated the Devil Sect of the Blood Sea. It’s inevitable that we won’t plot against the Great Evil King together this time.”
“If that’s the case, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t know about it. We’ll definitely hear the news.”
Everyone was discussing, but none of them could come up with a concrete result. However, what was certain was that the Evil King Cult and the Great Evil King had never appeared again since then, and had disappeared from the world forever. Most likely, they were doomed.
…
In the deepest part of the Myriad Devil Palace, there was a blood-colored altar. The location of the altar was located in a huge pool of blood.
The blood pool was surrounded by nine piles of flames. What ignited wasn’t firewood, but some strange things … bones, fur, stones, herbs, and all sorts of strange things. The strangest thing was that these flames were all burned on a single piece of flesh and blood.
Every once in a while, strange spirit patterns would occasionally appear as the flames swallowed and spat out, constantly flickering and emitting invisible and gloomy energy fluctuations.
Bubbles were constantly bubbling up in the pool of blood, like boiling water, giving off a scorching aura.
At the top of the blood-colored altar, Li Qing sat cross-legged, chanting some ancient and deep incantations.
In front of him was a stone. It was the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone!
Today, Li Qing wanted to try the Ashes Rebirth Method to revive this Heaven Splitting Demon Stone and see if he could reproduce the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor in the world.
After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding nine piles of flames gradually dimmed down, burning the piece of flesh and blood below, as well as the mixed bones and medicinal ingredients, into ashes and mixed them together.
In the darkness, nine black figures quietly walked out, walked in front of the pile of ashes, picked it up, and then sprinkled it into the blood pool.
The nine of them circled around the pool of blood and walked clockwise, sprinkling the ashes in their hands as they chanted an inexplicable incantation.
Soon, the ashes were sprinkled into the pool of blood, and the nine of them silently retreated.
Countless strange patterns of fire slowly lit up on the altar, forming a huge and mysterious formation.
It was like a Nirvana Flame, transforming into the power of rebirth, burning the stone on the altar.
This stone was originally a dead silence, but after absorbing these Nirvana Flames, it seemed to emit a burst of vigor. It no longer looked like a dead object, but something with vitality.
This process lasted for a very long time. The flames continued to burn the stone, and the stone became more and more vigorous during this process. It was like a seed that took root and germinated, even if it wanted to break through its shell.
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
Crack after crack appeared on the Heaven Splitting Demon Stone, spreading out into the surroundings. In the end, it shattered like an egg shell, and a small creature crawled out of it.
This was a monkey, but it didn’t have fur. Instead, it had stone skin. It looked small and exquisite, and its eyes were filled with spiritual energy. It looked up at Li Qing.
“Success?” Li Qing let out a sigh of amazement. This Ashes Rebirth Method was truly effective! Even the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, who had died for so many years, had been revived!
Li Qing looked at the newly born stone monkey and whispered, “Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor? Do you still have any memories?”
The stone monkey’s face was blank as it let out a “squeak! Squeak!” Then, he climbed to Li Qing’s feet and hugged him tightly.
“Hmm? Don’t you have any memories?” Li Qing couldn’t help but frown. Logically speaking, there should be memories. After all, the resurrection of the Great Evil King carried memories with it.
However, this stone monkey’s performance was completely a new life form. It was ignorant and did not look like a Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor.
Li Qing was puzzled in his heart. He reached out and pointed at the stone monkey’s forehead. After carefully examining it, he found that the mind of this new life was completely blank.
“I really don’t have any memories. Just like the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix, after its rebirth, it will be a new life. It will be completely cut off from the past!”
“Forget it, it’s good that you don’t have any memories, so as to save trouble.” Li Qing held the stone monkey in his palm and said, “From now on, I’ll call you Little Stone.”
This stone monkey’s talent wasn’t that outstanding, and its bloodline wasn’t that powerful. However, unlike other demonic beasts, it possessed an extremely outstanding spirit.
It was precisely this spirit that created the peerless great demon in history. It could be said to be the most unique part of the stone monkey.
From the day it was born, it could learn like humans. It was simply a peerless genius amongst demonic beasts, as intelligent as humans.
Li Qing imitated the experience of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor back then and brought the stone monkey under the Bodhi Tree. He also took out the books he had obtained from the Bodhi Ancient Cave for him to learn.
A few years later, the stone monkey seemed to have comprehended something on its own. Without relying on Li Qing’s inheritance, it created a strange demon cultivation method.
Although this technique belonged to Demon Clan, it was created from the books of the fundamental human race. Thus, traces of human intelligence could be seen everywhere.
Li Qing also looked at the demonic technique created by the stone monkey. It was very rough, but it seemed to have something extraordinary about it.
“Forget it, I won’t interfere with him anymore. Let him develop on his own. Perhaps he can walk an invincible path like the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor back then.”
Li Qing was looking forward to this and wanted to see the demeanor of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor back then.
As for whether this stone monkey would rebel in the future, Li Qing wasn’t worried either, because he had already used a mental secret technique to imperceptibly instil in the stone monkey the idea of loyalty to the Myriad Devil Sect.
If Stone Monkey would rebel under such circumstances, then Li Qing had nothing to say.
Li Qing once again entered the Bodhi Ancient Cave and saw the trunk of the World Tree. This tree trunk was discovered by the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor back then. He wanted to refine it into a peerless divine weapon, but it was a pity that it was unable to do so even to the end of his life.
“What a pity. Such a large World Tree trunk can’t be refined into a weapon. It can only be buried here.” Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh.
The power of the World Tree trunk was too strong. Even with Li Qing’s current strength, he was unable to shake it, let alone refine it into a weapon.
Back then, the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor had spent countless years, but he was unable to achieve this. Li Qing’s strength was far inferior to the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor’s back then, so it was even more impossible.
Perhaps Li Qing would not have a chance until he became stronger in the future. Now, there was no need to think about it for the time being.
Now that the Tong Tian Mountain was once again occupied by Demon Clan, he wasn’t worried that humans would discover the secrets of this place. There was plenty of time to slowly study this world tree trunk, so there was no need to be so anxious.
Li Qing took a step forward and arrived at a dark void outside the Great Thousand Worlds. There was a magnificent ship floating quietly here. It was the Ancient Desolate Warship.
“Li Qing? Come in.” Ancient Desolate Lord’s voice came from inside the Primordial Warship.
Li Qing entered the core control room and Ancient Desolate Lord’s phantom appeared. After looking at Li Qing for a while, he revealed a shocked expression, “Your strength, why can’t I see through it now?”
“The Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm, you only have a portion of your consciousness left. Of course, you can’t see through it.” Li Qing smiled.
“What? The Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm? Are you joking?” Ancient Desolate Lord screamed in disbelief.
“What are you lying about?” Li Qing revealed his aura.
“It’s really the Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm! It’s unbelievable that you can reach such a high level in just a few hundred years! How unbelievable!” Ancient Desolate Lord sighed in admiration.
“I came to find you today. There’s nothing else. I just found a method to revive you. Do you want to try it?” Li Qing said.
“A method of rebirth? Did you really find such a method? Even if I only have one consciousness left?” Ancient Desolate Lord said excitedly.
“I’m not sure either. I’ve succeeded once before, but you’re in a strange state. I wonder if you can succeed.” Li Qing said.
Ancient Desolate Lord pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, I believe you once. Try this method of rebirth. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
“Don’t worry, even if you fail, you won’t suffer any losses. At worst, you should just stay the same.” Li Qing smiled.
Only then did Ancient Desolate Lord feel relieved. He wasn’t worried that Li Qing would deceive him, because Li Qing was already an expert of the Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm. Without anyone controlling it, his Primordial Era’s Warship was no match for Li Qing.
If Li Qing really wanted to harm the Ancient Desolate Warship, there was no need to be so troublesome.
Li Qing directly swallowed the Ancient Desolate Warship into his dantian world and returned to the Myriad Devil Palace to try the Ashes Rebirth Method for the second time.
