Solving Old Devil's Return

Ming Chen, the Sect Master of the Red Phoenix Sect was the first to speak. His voice echoed in the grand hall of the Soul Ascension Holy Land, where the most powerful cultivators of the immortal world had gathered. "Holy Lord, why did you call us so urgently? I don't remember hearing any major event in the immortal world, so there must be something important in the holy land."

Others nodded in unison, agreeing to his opinion. Each of the members present were the pillars of the holy land. The Soul Ascension Holy Land, although the holy place for cultivating the soul, required a prerequisite for all this - a long lifespan. So most of the disciples either cultivated qi or body and then soul. Although cultivating the soul can grant people longevity, it is very hard to cultivate the soul and gain longevity in the initial stage. So only those peerless monsters have the qualification to join the holy land as they can cultivate the soul and other systems simultaneously. This is also the reason why soul cultivators are so rare and feared. Each of the soul cultivators are not only geniuses in the field of soul but in the field of other systems.

And the only way to join the holy land is by becoming the disciples of any of the seven sects or a member of the Empire. Also, these eight masters were also the disciples of the holy land, and only when they have made great contributions can they go to that post, and only when their cultivation reaches a very profound level can they come back to the holy land and hold the position of an elder. So, there is no outsider in this room.

The Holy Lord said with a solemn tone, "Indeed, something important has happened in the holy land. Old Devil's soul is awake again, and he said he will be out of trouble soon." As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall became silent. Everyone except Holy Lord and first elder who knew this from the beginning had an ugly expression on their faces. Their expression kept changing. Some were shocked, some were confused, and some were worried about the future trouble.

Yan Shi, the Sect Master of the Black Dragon Sect, said with an inquiring tone, "Didn't we destroy that evil technique? We made sure that no more copies exist in this world, and even if there is, it is just some remnants, and with these remnants, it is impossible to nurture the Soul possession seed. So how can he be out of trouble? Are you sure he is not just bluffing?"

Lan Feng, the Sect Master of the Azure Dragon Sect, said in a low voice, "Does he need to bluff us?"

Although the voice was low, everyone heard it. They all know that what Lan Fang said was correct. Everyone knows the Old Devil legends. He who was once the pride of this holy land is now the most powerful calamity of the holy land.

Old Devil's original name is Huang Lu and was the most powerful genius in the history of the holy land. Huang Lu was once hailed as a once-in-a-million-years genius and was the hope of the sect, going to be the next holy lord fifty thousand years ago. That era was full of geniuses, and Huang Lu was one of the brightest shining geniuses among the geniuses. There were three others in the same era as his who were not less talented than Huang Lu. These four were named the four young lords of the immortal world, and everyone would admire them. They were righteous and filled with ideas of doing something for the immortal worlds.

But everything changed one day when they were powerless to stop the great sin that was happening in front of their eyes. Then they saw a man, who was the same age as them, walk forward. If the Four Young Lords were just supreme geniuses, then that man was a monster. If they were the moon, then the man was the sun. When they saw that man, they finally knew that only one's courage and strength mattered and not righteousness.

The charisma of the man was so great that the four young lords of the immortal world forgot their righteousness and followed him, eventually becoming known as the five devils of the immortal world. That era was the most glorious time for Huang Lu and the Soul Ascension Holy Land. However, all of it came to an end when the man died and the four young lords, who had joined him, went crazy one after another. Huang Lu also became insane and started killing other immortals. As a result, the Soul Ascension Holy Land had no choice but to seal his soul since they were unable to kill him entirely.
