Heavenly Emperor
Little Secret of the Sage Realm
The First Layer of the Sage Realm
“What the hell is this place?” Xu Han who had just exited the Inner World Nie Yuu was shocked as he stared all over the place. He had never seen anything like it at all, even to hear such rumors he had never.
Nie Yuu only kept silent as she stared at all the places. Everywhere there were senseless souls wandering.
All of these souls give off negative auras and different Yin laws. Nie Yuu had originally planned to devour the souls there but after examining them closely, he changed his mind as it was not good for his soul even though his soul had reached the level of an Immortal Soul.
“Sure you will never see this place boy! You are a hick demon living on the outskirts.” The Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign who had come out even snorted when he heard Xu Han's startled cry.
The insults of the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign made Xu Han extremely angry. He looked at the old demon with a sharp look. If only the gaze could kill someone, perhaps the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign had been killed thousands of times.
“Old Devil, you must know all the places in this First Layer of the Sage Realm right?” Nie Yuu asked looking at the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign.
“I don't memorize everything. But I know where the five powerful Clans live, the Clan that has the task of helping the Soul Devils set up the First Layer of the Sage Realm.”, the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign said.
“Set? Is this Demon Soul governing the reincarnation cycle of souls that enter the Sage Realm?” Nie Yuu asked curiously.
“Yes. Don't underestimate the Soul Devil. Although they never tried to find trouble, anyone who looked for trouble to them would receive dire consequences.” Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign said.
“Oh? This is really weird. If they had their own consciousness, why would they do this task wholeheartedly? Wouldn't it be better to be a ruler in the Sage Realm? Besides, from what you said don't underestimate them, there is definitely a powerful Soul Devil right?” Nie Yuu spoke later.
The Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign did not immediately reply, he stared towards the distance with a very serious face. Not long after, he finally spoke again.
“You know son, when I lived in the days of the Demon Prince in the Seven Layers of the Sage Realm, I had heard terrible rumors. First is about the Soul Devil. Yes, there are indeed amongst them who are extremely strong, even their strength is on par with the current Demon King. And many of them have power on par with Demon Generals.”
“But, the rumors I heard made me understand why they were just doing their job. First, they are created through positive laws derived from souls who enter the Sage Realm. They seem to be created by nature itself. But it's not like that.”
“Only a few Devils and strong people know this, an example of which are the Seven Demon Princes. When I fought with the Demon Prince of the Nie Clan, I heard from him that actually everything in the Sage Realm had been planned by someone. And he was also actually the one who created the Sage.” Realm, Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign said.
“What? Devil behind the scenes?” Nie Yuu asked with a frown on her forehead.
“I don't know too much about it. But to be sure, when Demon Clan Prince Nie told me about it, there was a tinge of fear I felt. You must understand, no, if someone like the Demon Prince of the Nie Clan is afraid of someone, then he is not something that can be provoked.”, said Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign.
Nie Yuu's body stiffened slightly hearing that. His face was immediately serious instantly as it turned out that there was still a powerful existence hiding in the Sage Realm.
“Before I fought with the Demon Prince of the Nie Clan, I had investigated many things in every Layer of the Sage Realm. There are some records about him, if I were to interpret everything I investigated, his strength would definitely not be weaker than Celestial Emperor!” Advanced Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign with a grim face.
The information from the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign made Nie Yuu even more shocked. Right now he felt that the reason Celestial Emperor had never attacked the Sage Realm even when Sage God Jin Ming ruled over the Sage Realm, was probably due to such an existence. But, why would such an existence allow Jin Ming to rule and why let the Yin-Yang God finish off all the Demon Princes?
“I will explain it slowly at any time when there is something related. Son, now is not the time for you to know everything. The more you grow strong, the more you will discover all the secrets of the Seven Galaxy and the Sage.” Realm The Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign said in a serious tone as he turned around and looked straight into Nie Yuu's eyes.
“Old devil, you're too stingy! What's wrong with explaining everything this time?” Xu Han was extremely dissatisfied with the attitude of the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign.
Crack it!
“Ouch! Old man, what's my fault?” Xu Han shouted as he held onto his head which was struck by Nie Yuu.
Maidservant!
The death kick was received by Xu Han which made him bounce.
Nie Yuu only snorted, for some reason he felt extremely annoyed whenever Xu Han spoke. He looked back at the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign and knew why the old demon had not told him everything.
What he would hear would probably break all his understanding of living things. The stronger a person is, the more secrets he will keep. This was something that he knew clearly, just like when he was in the Primordial Realm. The more powerful he was, the more terrifying secrets appeared.
Staring at Nie Yuu who had an understanding expression, the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign nodded in satisfaction. “Let's go, I'll lead you to the nearest city, where one of the Clan Branch helpers who manages the First Layer of the Realm Sage.”
Nie Yuu nodded and immediately flew after the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign. As for Xu Han, he stood up with a dark face. He felt pain in his stomach but could only put on a sad face and then fly after.
Not until a day later, the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign leading the way came to a halt in the air and gazed towards the distance with an astonished look.
“Hm? City empty?” Nie Yuu asked in astonishment gazing towards the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign.
“The city was formerly inhabited by the strongest Clan under the Nie Clan. But it seemed that they had left, allowing them to take over the Nie Clan's original duties as the ruler and move to the center of the First Layer of the Sage Realm. This was also probably due to the departure of Clan Nie to the surface!” said the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign with slightly narrowed eyes.
“If so, will we go to another city?” Ask Nie Yuu.
“No. We're going to the western suburbs of this town. There is a place inhabited by Soul Devils!” the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign.
“What do you want to do? You said earlier that Demon Souls will not interfere about anything as long as we do not disturb them.” said Nie Yuu astonished and did not know what the purpose of the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign came to the place of the Soul Devils.
Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign grinned for a moment and then continued, “Yes, you were right. But, who says they won't move if we have something that they like?”
The words of the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign left Nie Yuu stunned and could only say inwardly that the old demon was indeed very cunning.
