Chapter 685: Chapter 685 - 664: Have We Passed The Second Stage Yet?_2

"And they gradually began to forbid others from cultivating immortality, massively destroying the secret techniques of Evil Techniques and Immortal Techniques."

These things Ji Youzhi mentioned were results Ji Youze found by researching books after Princess Ata entered the Palace. This was after she said the King of Nanjiang was very likely no longer the original King of Nanjiang.

At this moment, Ji Youzhi was shocked to his core.

He had just thought of it as an unspoken history. But unexpectedly, he saw such a scene unfold here.

It directly provided evidence for a part of history that had been deliberately obscured.

"Does Uncle Seven mean to say that the lady in red is Ancestor Zhou?"

"Yes! She is the only empress in the history of our Heavenly Ice Continent. It’s said that her Cultivation had reached its peak at that time.

However, Evil Cultivators emerged frequently. They harmed the common people indiscriminately. Therefore, this empress killed and sealed a group of significant cultivators.

But what does this Array of Heaven have to do with Ancestor Zhou?

Why is there such a scene in this Immortal-Trapping Array?"

Ji Youzhi asked himself in confusion.

Following Ji Youzhi’s thoughts, Xiaosuisui speculated, "Could it be that this Array of Heaven was laid out by Ancestor Zhou?"

"Ancestor Zhou is the one who set up the Array of Heaven?" Ji Youzhi pondered and said, "That’s not entirely impossible!"

Xiaosuisui nodded. "Then this scene within..."

Before Xiaosuisui could finish her words, the scene transmitted sound again.

"Your Majesty, in this Heavenly Ice Continent, your Cultivation is indeed the highest. But no matter how strong you are, it’s tough to fight many enemies at once.

Today, with so many of us powerful ones united, we will surely slay you here!"

The speaker was one of the Evil Cultivators cloaked in black.

"If you want to kill me, you are still far too naive!"

"If it were in the past, we wouldn’t have been able to kill you. But now, you have just forcibly communicated with the Celestial Dao and sealed the Great Sorcerer Venerable. You are severely injured and your Qi is depleted; it’s the perfect time to kill you!"

The black-robed men summoned their magical instruments and launched a joint attack on the Empress.

"The Great Sorcerer Venerable?"

Ji Youzhi muttered this name. He recalled what Princess Ata had said and the historical materials Ji Youze had found. Since Ancestor Zhou had sealed the Great Sorcerer Venerable, was he still trapped, or had he already vanished into the mists of history?

As Ji Youzhi was thinking, the scene suddenly changed; Ancestor Zhou had been defeated.

Ancestor Zhou was defeated by the Evil Cultivators, who greatly outnumbered her. They were all absorbing the Power from Ancestor Zhou.

Someone laughed loudly.

"HAHAHA! Truly deserving of the power of justice! This Venerable Realm’s Power, this aura—it’s damn wonderful."

"Kill! Kill her! This world will be ours, and then every Cultivator in the world will be our food!"

Looking at this scene, Xiaosuisui was both worried and confused.

"What do they mean?"

She asked Ji Youzhi in a soft voice.

"These people are Evil Cultivators. They strengthen their own Power by absorbing the Power others have painstakingly cultivated, reaping without sowing. They are outrageously unscrupulous!"

Xiaosuisui’s small hands clenched tightly, her face showing a rare flush of anger.

"These people deserve to die!"

Xiaosuisui asked in a low voice, "Why doesn’t she run away?"

Watching the scene, Ji Youzhi said, "Maybe she can’t, or maybe she doesn’t want to."

Just as he finished speaking, the scene changed again, showing a tail, pitch-black with faint silver electricity arcing across its surface.

From the sky, the roars of a dragon and a tiger echoed as they descended. They interrupted the Evil Cultivators from continuing to absorb Ancestor Zhou’s Power. The dragon and the tiger then carried Ancestor Zhou away.

"Is that a dragon?"

"Yes, it’s a dragon—the last dragon on the Heavenly Ice Continent."

Dahei, who was also staring intently at the scene, suddenly spoke. Both Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi looked at it in surprise.

"It’s in the inheritance."

The Demon Race has an ancestral memory. From the time they are in their mother’s womb, they are imprinted with the memories of significant events.

The existence of the last dragon of the Demon Race on this continent would naturally be imprinted in them. The more talented and powerful a member of the Demon Race, the more of this inheritance they receive, and the clearer it is!

The scene disappeared. Lightning as thick as an arm struck down. Without thinking, Xiaosuisui kicked Dahei.

"Dahei! Go face your tribulation quickly!"

Dahei couldn’t have imagined that he would complete his heavenly tribulation during the Second Level of the Array of Heaven.

Not only him, but even Xiaobai was struck by several bolts of Celestial Thunder.

Of course, the power of this Celestial Thunder was not that strong. Xiaobai was a Taotie, and a few strikes wouldn’t hurt it much.

Moreover, a Taotie can devour everything. It could swallow this minor lightning power if it wished. However, circumstances had changed. Just guarding its Master silently was enough!

When Celestial Thunder fell on its Master, it simply opened its mouth, sucked away the lightning power, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Occasionally, Xiaobai would leave a bit of thumb-sized lightning power to temper Ji Youzhi!

"AH..." The moment the first surge of lightning power struck Ji Youzhi, he tumbled on the ground in pain.

"Uncle Seven!" Xiaosuisui called out worriedly, asking, "How are you?"

"Master, don’t worry. Although his cultivation realm is a bit low, an appropriate amount of lightning power to temper his body and bones will be somewhat beneficial to him."

Xiaobai suddenly spoke, relieving Xiaosuisui’s concerns.

"Strange! Why can’t this Celestial Thunder hit me?"

Xiaosuisui looked up at the gathering thunder and lightning in doubt, her small brow furrowed tightly.

Xiaobai slurped down the remaining lightning power in its mouth and then said, "Master, that’s because all the lightning power that was supposed to hit you has been swallowed by me."

Only then did Xiaosuisui understand. She nodded and said, "In that case, does this mean we have successfully passed the Second Level?"
