Chapter 78: The Prophecy of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!

【When you and Zhou Lingxi heard that, your eyes widened at once as you stared at the Demon King in disbelief.】

【You were deeply shocked. The fact that Zhou Lingxi cultivated the Heavenly Evolution Art was known only to you and to Zhou Lingxi herself.】

【You had no idea how the Demon King knew, and after cultivating the Heavenly Evolution Art, a person's aura did not change that much.】

【“Demon King, how did you know that Lingxi cultivates the Heavenly Evolution Art?”】

【The Demon King looked at you and responded with a question of his own.】

【“Do you not know the origin of the Heavenly Evolution Art?”】

【You nodded and told the Demon King that you indeed did not know its origin.】

【You had originally obtained the Heavenly Evolution Art in the Bronze Divine Hall within the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, along with several other cultivation techniques.】

【In the end, you chose to cultivate the Taixu Sword Art, the Great Void Technique, the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger, and the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art.】

【As for the Heavenly Evolution Art and the Reincarnation Undying Scripture, it was not that you had not tried cultivating them. It was simply that after doing so, you discovered that their effects were very poor.】

【Especially the Reincarnation Undying Scripture. The conditions required to cultivate that technique to Great Completion were far too harsh—it required constant reincarnation and rebirth.】

【Then the Demon King began explaining the origin of the Heavenly Evolution Art to you.】

【“The Heavenly Evolution Art was the core legacy cultivation technique of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, one of the top powers of the Central Continent during the Remote Ancient Era.”】

【“Moreover, the Heavenly Evolution Art has extremely high requirements for its cultivator!”】

【“To cultivate the Heavenly Evolution Art, one must receive its recognition. Otherwise, its effects in cultivation are extremely poor.”】

【“In the past, humans chose cultivation techniques. But with the Heavenly Evolution Art, it is the cultivation technique that chooses the human.”】

【After hearing that, you suddenly understood.】

【You now finally understood why the effects had been so poor when you cultivated the Heavenly Evolution Art back then.】

【You then asked the Demon King,】

【“Even if Lingxi cultivates the Heavenly Evolution Art, that still doesn't mean she is the person from your prophecy, does it? She's only at Nascent Soul Great Perfection.”】

【“Simply being able to cultivate the Heavenly Evolution Art does not make one the person from the prophecy. Take me, for example!”】

【The Demon King told you that he too cultivated the Heavenly Evolution Art, even though he was a Demonic Beast.】

【The Demon King told you that the reason he had discovered you so quickly was only because Zhou Lingxi cultivated the Heavenly Evolution Art.】

【And the reason he believed Zhou Lingxi was the person from the prophecy was that he had detected immortal aura on her body.】

【“Immortal?”】

【Jiang Yang frowned slightly at the side.】

【It was not as though Jiang Yang had never examined Zhou Lingxi's condition before, but he had found nothing at all, nor had he detected any special physique.】

【Unlike Jiang Yang, your expression changed drastically the moment you heard the Demon King's words.】

【You had never expected the Demon King to be so perceptive that he had discovered the immortal aura on Zhou Lingxi.】

【Zhou Lingxi, who possessed the Immortal Eyes, truly was tainted with a trace of immortal aura, but that trace was extremely difficult for anyone to perceive.】

【Even though Zhou Lingxi had lived for years within the Great Zhou royal family, no one had ever discovered her Immortal Eyes.】

【You yourself had only discovered her physique through the Eye of Truth talent.】

【Immediately afterward, the Demon King continued telling you about the prophecy.】

【“According to the records left by our ancestors, during the Remote Ancient Era, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion calculated that the next age—the Ancient Era—would be an age of darkness.”】

【“The records mention that the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion exhausted the cultivation of his entire life, yet still failed to calculate where the path forward lay.”】

【“In the end, he only calculated that in a future era, one person would appear. The Pavilion Master could not see that person's future, present, or past. That person was shrouded in mist.”】

【“And that person would be the reincarnation of an immortal, one who cultivated the Heavenly Evolution Art of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.”】

【After saying this, the Demon King looked at Zhou Lingxi. In his eyes, that person was Zhou Lingxi.】

【Yet you caught one very important detail in those words, and you asked the Demon King whether he could see Zhou Lingxi's future clearly.】

【The Demon King shook his head and said that although he cultivated the Heavenly Evolution Art, he did not know the Heavenly Secrets Art of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.】

【The Demon King told you that the requirements for cultivating the Heavenly Secrets Art were even higher than those of the Heavenly Evolution Art.】

【From the Demon King's words, you learned that the Heavenly Secrets Art and the Heavenly Evolution Art were the two supreme legacies of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had already vanished into the river of history.】

【Unable to suppress the confusion in your heart, you asked the Demon King why he wanted to help you, since the demon race and the human race were supposed to be mortal enemies.】

【After hearing that, the Demon King let out a disdainful laugh.】

【The Demon King told you that ever since the Ancient Era, the race the demon race had truly hated had always been the Bizarre Insects. It was just that those Bizarre Insects happened to reside inside your human bodies.】

【The Demon King then revealed another secret.】

【“At present, the Spiritual Energy of the Canglan Realm has been contaminated. Our demon race has also been greatly affected in our cultivation under such an environment.”】

【“Although we are not parasitized like you humans, it still affects the speed of our cultivation.”】

【“In this era, we already have no way to ascend. Even breaking through to the Mahayana Realm has become incomparably difficult.”】

【After hearing the Demon King's words, you understood that the current position of the Demonic Beasts and your human race was now bound together.】

【You asked the Demon King how the current deadlock in the Canglan Realm could be broken and how the Canglan Realm could be saved.】

【The Demon King looked at you in surprise. He had not expected your aspirations to be so grand.】

【“I do not know either...”】

【“The prophecy only said that such a child of prophecy would appear and bring this era to an end, but as for the exact method, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion never said before suffering backlash and dying.”】

【“However...”】

【The Demon King did not continue. You saw him slowly raise his head to look at the top of the great hall.】

【“Could it be that something really is wrong with the Heavenly Dao?”】

【Suddenly, Jiang Yang beside you spoke up.】

【The moment those words were spoken, all of your gazes involuntarily turned toward Jiang Yang.】

【The Demon King looked at Jiang Yang in astonishment and said,】

【“That's right. We suspect that something has gone wrong with the Heavenly Dao. Unless the Heavenly Dao is resolved, the Canglan Realm will never return to how it once was.”】

【And when you heard their conversation, your heart trembled violently.】

【You remembered that when you had previously used the Eye of Truth to check Lin Qi's identity, you had accidentally discovered that something was wrong with the Heavenly Dao.】

【You recalled that at the time, the Eye of Truth had informed you that the Heavenly Dao had been contaminated, and it had also mentioned the Bizarre Insect Progenitor.】

【Now, after combining that with the Demon King's words, you were certain that the Heavenly Dao had a grave problem.】

【Immediately afterward, you told the Demon King everything you knew regarding Lin Qi.】

【The more the Demon King heard, the more shocked he became. He had never expected that there could be such a Son of Destiny in this world.】

【“Even the Son of Destiny has already been contaminated?”】

【“It seems the degree to which the Canglan Realm has been contaminated is far worse than we imagined.”】

【At that moment, the Demon King finally revealed his true purpose.】

【“At this point, our human and demon races should unite. I need your help.”】

【“Help me find the former site of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!”】

【“And retrieve the sacred method of my demon race!”】
