Two months later, within Heavenly Scar, a dozen or so figures sped past.
Their evasion techniques were exquisite, and they treated the barriers within Heavenly Scar as though they did not exist. Sensing the pressure emanating from them, the living beings in Heavenly Scar were terrified, hiding in their nests and trembling.
If anyone saw these people, they would certainly be shocked, because all of them were renowned figures of Beichen Realm.
There was Sin Abyss’s Canghong, Daoist Master Zhenyi, leader of Tianxing Alliance, Devil Lord Tongyou, Dongyang Bo, Qingjun, Qin Sang, and others from Small Cold Domain. The demon race’s foremost expert, the Feathered King and the Lu-surnamed cultivator from the desert were also present.
Their destination on this trip was Abyssal Ruin. Experts from the various domains traveled together, and there was no longer a tense atmosphere between them.
After news of Tianzheng’s death spread, Sin Abyss’s morale fell even further. Following several rounds of negotiations, they agreed to the Two-Domain Alliance’s harsh conditions.
One month ago, Small Cold Domain, Tianxing Alliance, and Sin Abyss had sworn an oath before Yu City, establishing a thousand-year pact. This marked the official end of a war that had lasted nearly two hundred years.
Heavenly Demon Hill and the desert powers had also come to witness the ceremony. Beichen Realm had finally welcomed a rare peace!
People longed for stability. The two hundred years of war had affected nearly the entire Beichen Realm, and the moment the stone stele engraved with the pact was erected, everyone could not help but let out a breath of relief. But no one dared to relax.
Old Devil Ye had slaughtered many Spiritual Infant cultivators and fled into Sin God Palace, effectively becoming the common enemy of every faction. This was precisely why they had entered Sin Abyss together.
Sin God Palace and Ziwei Palace hid far too many secrets, and Old Devil Ye’s ambitions were enormous. After discussing the matter, Zhenyi and the others believed Old Devil Ye would certainly guard against the three domains joining forces, and they might not be able to eliminate him.
To be safe, they decided to invite Heavenly Demon Hill and the desert cultivators to enter Sin God Palace together next time and surround and kill Old Devil Ye!
Everyone understood clearly that none of them alone was Old Devil Ye’s match, so it was impossible for anyone to monopolize the secrets. No matter how important those secrets were, if they could not kill him, everything else was meaningless.
At that time, all sides would share the secrets. How much one could achieve would depend on one’s own ability.
There was also another reason why it was difficult to exclude those two domains.
Small Cold Domain and Heavenly Demon Hill had an ancient covenant concerning Ziwei Palace. This time, they would unusually enter through the celestial gate of Sin God Palace, so they naturally had to give Heavenly Demon Hill an explanation.
Heavenly Demon Hill had always sent demon soldiers to assist them against Sin Abyss. They could not simply turn hostile the moment the situation improved.
When Sin Abyss had previously negotiated peace with the desert powers, they had promised to open Abyssal Ruin and Sin God Palace to them, which was why the desert powers had accepted so readily.
Because of Old Devil Ye, the entire Beichen Realm had united in an unprecedented manner.
Qin Sang naturally strongly supported cooperation as well. He did not want a Devil Monarch to appear in Beichen Realm. In Canglang Sea, first there had been the Divine Transformation cultivators' arrangements, and then so many peak experts had died or been injured before the Devil Monarch was barely sealed.
Small Cold Domain did not have the ability to seal a Devil Monarch. They could only stop Old Devil Ye before he made his move.
Just in case, Qin Sang ordered the fat chicken and the others to continue searching overseas for a suitable cave dwelling. He also postponed the founding of Qingyang Temple again.
He would make plans after coming out of Ziwei Palace next time despite already receiving spoils that were more than enough to support the development of a sect.
This time, Sin Abyss’s trump cards had been exposed. Before the aggressive Two-Domain Alliance, they could only retreat again and again, paying an enormous price. It could be said they had suffered a great loss.
Sin Abyss brought out the assets belonging to Old Devil Ye and the dead Spiritual Infants to compensate the Two-Domain Alliance for its previous losses, but the appetites of Spiritual Infant cultivators were not so easily satisfied.
For example, Qu Huan had long had his eye on Xingheng Sect’s treasure, Yellow Rotem.
Because of this, Canghong and the others could only reluctantly take out all kinds of rare treasures from their private collections. Even if it did not wound their foundations, they had nearly reached their limit, and they would have to live frugally for some time afterward.
They could only hope that the spoils obtained after eliminating Old Devil Ye would make up for their losses.
Qin Sang’s battle achievements stood out even among the peak experts, so he was qualified to choose spoils.
Each of these treasures was rare and dazzling. Among them were astras with unusual effects, ancient treasures, and all kinds of precious spiritual objects and spiritual herbs.
Qin Sang loved every one of them and thought for a long time. In the end, he decided to follow his original plan. He moved his gaze away from the ancient treasures and looked toward the spiritual materials.
In the end, he chose rare spiritual materials such as Flame Jade Tablet and Fire Wing Liquid. Without exception, all of them were fire-based spiritual objects.
Since they had been treasured by Spiritual Infant cultivators, their value was obvious. They were usually extremely difficult to find. Those old fellows would never have taken them out easily.
Qin Sang was preparing to refine an astra to collect Southern Sun Fire, and he happened to lack precious spiritual materials. Obtaining so many this time was quite a pleasant surprise. Secretly, he thought his efforts had not been wasted.
Later, he would visit the Xuling Sect, improve his attainment in artifact refinement, and then he could begin refining it.
"What is Daoist Qin thinking about?" Qin Sang was deep in thought when someone startled him awake. He turned his head and saw that it was the Lu-surnamed cultivator.
He now knew that this man was named Lu Boyuan.
After the battle at Abyssal Ruin, Lu Boyuan had been seriously injured, and the Cold Lizard had detonated his physical body. Since then, Qin Sang had not seen him.
"Daoist Lu." Qin Sang shook his head slightly. "Nothing. I was just thinking about Old Devil Ye. When Ziwei Palace emerges next time, it would be best not to let low-tier cultivators participate."
If another ancient devil were released, cultivators below the Spiritual Infant Realm would be of no help at all. They would merely deliver themselves as sacrifices.
"Indeed!"
"That makes sense. Daoist Qin is thoughtful."
The others heard Qin Sang’s suggestion and all nodded. With only a few words, the matter was settled.
"I never had the chance to ask before. I wonder how Daoist Cold Lizard has recovered?" Qin Sang slowed down and traveled side by side with Lu Boyuan.
Lu Boyuan sighed softly, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Daoist Cold Lizard’s injuries were extremely severe. It would be very difficult for him to recover, so I could only find another path..."
Before he finished speaking, his sleeve stirred, and a blue lizard the length of a palm crawled out. It lifted its head to look at Qin Sang and spoke in human language. "Daoist Qin, after not seeing you for many years, I never expected that when I heard news of you again, you had transformed into a human Spiritual Infant cultivator. Daoist Lu and I were stunned for quite some time."
The lizard’s aura was obscure, so Qin Sang could not tell how much of the Cold Lizard’s strength had recovered. It looked as though he had seized the body of another Ice Lizard.
Hearing the Cold Lizard’s friendly teasing, Qin Sang glanced toward the two figures on the outer edge, the Feathered King and the Snake King.
The war among the three domains had ended so quickly, and because of Old Devil Ye, the human race of Beichen Realm had formed an unprecedented alliance. This was something the Feathered King had not expected.
For Heavenly Demon Hill, unity among the human race was not good news, but they had no good solution.
Back then, Qin Sang had disguised himself as a demon king and openly entered Wanyao City to participate in the demon king council. After the demon kings learned Qin Sang’s true identity, they were incomparably shocked and furious.
Every time the Feathered King saw Qin Sang, he had no pleasant expression. Even the Snake King, who had once shared a close friendship with Qin Sang, now treated him with coldness.
Fortunately, Jingyu was there to mediate between them. Otherwise, the Thousand-Mountain Bamboo Sea lineage might not have been able to establish itself in Heavenly Demon Hill.
As long as Jingyu successfully passed her heavenly tribulations, Qin Sang believed that with time, the rift would slowly be repaired.
