Chapter 1409: Chapter 21: Seven Little Saints, Three Great Demons

"A Harmonizer..."

As soon as those words fell, Hong Er instantly froze.

After fighting for so long, he really hadn’t realized that Xie Xuanyi was a Harmonizer!

First, the difficulty of Harmonization was far, far too great. Even a thousand years ago, wanting to achieve Harmonization was like ascending to heaven. Hong Er had simply never considered this possibility.

Second, Xie Xuanyi’s two strands of Taoist Intent were both too top-tier.

One was the Path of Destruction, the other was the Life Dao. To cultivate both of these Great Daos at the same time already qualified him to become a top Heavenly Human!

To attempt Harmonization with these two Great Daos... was almost impossible!

Back in those days, no one had ever accomplished such a feat!

"Has the world a thousand years later truly had its Primordial Energy exhausted, such that no more geniuses can be born?"

Hong Er stared at Xie Xuanyi for a long time, feeling more and more like the other party was playing him. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

After the Great Tribulation, heaven and earth were shattered.

In an era where even a Yang God was hard to be born, a young Yang God appeared who achieved Life and Death Harmonization in less than half a 60-year cycle?

How was this just a Yang God.

This was practically a future True Immortal!

"..."

Xie Xuanyi was quite helpless, and said sincerely, "The exhaustion of Primordial Energy is real, Harmonization was sheer luck."

"This battle, I’ve lost."

Hong Er was straightforward as well.

After Big Brother exposed Xie Xuanyi’s identity as a Harmonizer, he simply and decisively admitted defeat.

He understood.

Facing Life and Death Harmonization, no matter what he did, he could not win.

To hold on any longer would be pointless.

In this moment, Hong Er understood Big Brother’s thinking; if Xie Xuanyi had achieved Harmonization at such a young age, he indeed had the qualifications to inherit this Primordial Immortal Hall.

It was just that—

Understanding was one thing.

There was one matter on which he still insisted, refusing to budge an inch.

"Although you have the makings of a True Immortal, this great hall is a relic of the Holy Emperor."

Hong Er gritted his teeth and spoke. "Before His Majesty lay down to sleep, he entrusted this hall to me. How can I betray his expectations..."

["Hong Er."]

From above the great hall came a helpless sigh.

The deep voice spoke in consolation.

["The original intention of the Holy Emperor was to restore clarity to this world. This Immortal Palace, and the inheritance, are, in the end, paving the way for the people of later generations..."]

They had waited here in this Imagination World for so very long.

What they were waiting for.

Wasn’t it precisely for a young man like Xie Xuanyi?

"..."

Hong Er clenched his fists tightly, his whole body faintly trembling.

He had always listened to Big Brother, but this time, he was unwilling to respond.

He understood all the reasoning.

But there were some things he wanted to hold fast to.

If in the future heaven and earth were destroyed and the Holy Emperor met calamity, then this great hall would be the only legacy the Holy Emperor had left in the world.

"Seniors."

Seeing this, Xie Xuanyi pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I once cultivated a Divine Power Technique called the Great Creation Technique. This technique is specifically used to repair Boundary Steles and reshape Sacred Realms."

"Great Creation Technique?"

Hong Er raised an eyebrow.

He had never heard of this technique.

Before Primordial Energy was exhausted, there had been numerous Strong Persons between heaven and earth. These Strong Persons were not Undying and indestructible... The era in which the Ancestor Saint Emperor lived was already the last glorious age. In other words, before the Ancestor Saint Emperor, there had already been many Ancient Saints, and the Daoist Collections left behind after those Ancient Saints died and their Daos perished—many of them had never been unearthed.

"My taking away the hall pillar today is a last resort."

Xie Xuanyi said solemnly, "When peace comes in the future... I will use the Great Creation Technique to restore it."

The Demon Country still had urgent matters to resolve.

He couldn’t stay in the Ruins to comprehend this Primordial Holy Map.

Taking it away was the best choice.

Most importantly... the Shadow very likely knew of the Primordial Immortal Hall’s existence. To seclude himself here in cultivation would be far too unsafe.

["There’s such a wondrous Magic in this world?"]

Big Brother had also never heard of this Divine Skill and asked curiously.

"Naturally there is. It comes from the Ultimate Poison Sacred Realm."

Xie Xuanyi smiled faintly, gathered a wisp of water vapor at his fingertip, and performed the Great Creation Technique.

There were two ways to repair Boundary Steles.

One was Taoist Intent, the other was the Undying Spring... In order to win the trust of these two seniors, Xie Xuanyi directly displayed his bottom-card method.

"Undying Spring!"

As soon as that wisp of water vapor appeared—

Hong Er’s eyes widened again, and he couldn’t help but cry out.

He had never imagined that Xie Xuanyi possessed such a Supreme Treasure. This was something even the Holy Emperor had never owned!

["..."]

Big Brother also fell into silence.

Under the gaze of their Divine Thoughts, Xie Xuanyi employed the Great Creation Technique and repaired a shattered gap in the hall pillar.

When the Divine Skill ended—

The entire great hall returned to silence.

Hong Er’s expression was complicated, his Heart Lake shaken; he couldn’t help but once again feel doubt arise.

A thousand years later, had this heaven and earth truly been exhausted?

"Big Brother..."

He couldn’t help but send a voice transmission with emotion. "This guy doesn’t seem like a normal human at all."

["...Mm."]

Big Brother replied quietly.

"At this age, with this cultivation, his strength is already no weaker than those top Heavenly Prides in the Holy Lands of old."

Hong Er wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn’t help but sigh, "This guy is definitely a monster on the same level as the Seven Little Saints..."

A thousand years ago, in the Demon Country Sacred Land, there had been seven remarkable top Heavenly Prides.

Because their talent was extremely high and their progress extremely fast.

At a young age, in less than one 60-year cycle, they stepped into the Yang God Realm, and thus were called the Seven Little Saints.

Of course.

Reaching the Yang God Realm in one 60-year cycle was not that difficult.

The reason the Seven Little Saints became famous—

Was not just because they cultivated quickly, but because their strength was overwhelming!

In that battle back then, massive pieces of land crumbled and perished... A thousand years ago, the Demon Country’s territory had been even broader than it is now. The Seven Little Saints fought and clashed all over the world, in same-realm duels they had never once been defeated. They were destined to step into the Heavenly Human Realm as future giants, and they were also the revival hope for the Demon Race’s Qi Fortune to rise again!

["Not just that..."]

The deep voice sighed. ["In my view, this young man was simply born in the wrong era. If he had been born back then, he would definitely have stood shoulder to shoulder with the Little Ape King, the White Dragon, and Qing Huang..."]

The Seven Little Saints were indeed incredible.

But...

There were always higher heavens.

The Ancient Dragon Court, Heavenly Phoenix Palace, and Great Ape Mountain—these three inheritances loomed over the Demon Country’s territory like lofty mountains.

Among cultivators of the same generation—

The most formidable Great Cultivators still came from these three Great Holy Lands.

Thus, back then there were also the "Three Great Demons," whose fame resounded even more loudly than the Seven Little Saints’!

These were peerless monsters nurtured with the full effort of the Three Great Holy Lands; each one of them had obtained the entirety of their Holy Land’s inheritance... The Little Ape King had once crossed hands with Qing Lin among the Seven Little Saints. For fairness, he deliberately suppressed his Realm to the same cultivation, and yet defeated him in under a hundred moves.

It wasn’t that Qing Lin was too weak.

It was that the Little Ape King was too strong. He had comprehended the entirety of the Great Ape Mountain inheritance, was the Holy Emperor’s personally appointed successor, and possessed a complete peak Ancestor bloodline.

That battle had almost no suspense.

Hong Er’s emotions were complicated. He had not expected that the always proud Big Brother would raise this young man before them to the level of the Three Great Demons.

This was...

Had he already decided to make Xie Xuanyi the master of the Primordial Immortal Hall?
