36. Time Skip

------------

Alaric was beginning to understand the aspect of becoming the heavenly demon slowly, it was more like a symbol of hope and terror. Hope to the people of the cult and terror to the outside world. He does not battle often, but when he does, hell breaks loose.

There were stories of the past heavenly demons fighting, and they were anything but normal according to what Alaric has heard.

There were exactly 8 heavenly demons in the past including his master who is the current lord of the cult. Alaric would become the ninth heavenly demon if everything went successfully.

Three years have passed since the Diamyo passed away, and the entire Song Empire was shocked by the news. Even the surrounding empire nations were incensed and scared by the devastation, which revealed just the slaughter from a single monster and no signs of many combatants.

Who would expect the protector of a country and a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm would be wiped out in a single night, with the entire army no less. The Song Emperor was angry and was said to be investigating this incident with the help of people from the Qingpai continent.

In the Empire the professions for cultivators were not many and were rather the same roles, but in the Qingpai continent where the sect system is followed, the professions vary on a large scale, from Arts to Entertainment to Investigators. Being more modern and open-minded, the Qingpai continent was ahead of the Song Empire in many ways.

After the investigators left after their probe, the Song Emperor publicly vowed to exact retribution for the Daimyo and claimed that a demonic cult was responsible for the crime.

He also put to death dozens of individuals who were known to be demonic group spies.

Naturally, Alaric was unaware of the impact the death of his family had on the outside world because his lord had kept him confined to the demonic cult and believed that a parasite mixture was permeating every cell in his body.

Alaric had his own course to follow in this subject, and he was going to follow it, regardless of what the rest of the world or the Song Emperor thought. His friends thought he died during the night of the incident, as they could never expect him to be a successor of the demonic cult.

BaiYing went through a transformation due to the unlocking of its third attribute, it grew in an incredible pace and tripled in size these past three years. It was also undergoing training in Alaric's hand, as he wanted BaiYing to be an assassin.

-------

Time passed, and it has been over thirteen years since Alaric's family was massacred that night by the heavenly demon who is now his master.

These thirteen years, Alaric was diligently practicing and always hid his improvement from his master.

Alaric's eyes shined brightly after seeing his new status. Yes, all it took for Alaric to reach the peak of this world was 13 years of bitter cultivation and the hellish training he went through with his master.

The cultivation people try to reach in 600 – 700 years was achieved by Alaric in 13 years with Wan Xiu's body and his chaotic mind. Chaotic Mind played an important part in his growth, as martial arts usually required realization and improvement in the journey of a cultivator it played an enormous role in Alaric's speed.

With the help of nano and Chaotic mind, he realized and understood things about his martial art easily and reach the peak this world has to offer. He could now try to overpower the heavenly demon and get back at him for what he made Alaric went through, but not yet.

'There's still a part you have to play.' Alaric thought with a cold glint in his eyes.

Somewhere in his fifth year in the demonic cult he heard a significant piece of information from his master that there was a hidden dimension which opens every 500 years in this world, and it played an important part in the demonic cult according to him.

That hidden world was first discovered by the First Heavenly Demon and was almost a tradition for every heavenly demon to explore it, what was surprising about that is that no heavenly demon has ever returned from the hidden dimension.

Alaric thought over the information and was extremely suspicious, anyone with a brain would, when he questioned about this to his master he received a slight smirk in response as he said

"You would understand when you become the heavenly demon" and he left at that.

'We'll see.' Alaric thought in his mind.

He was really impressed by the heavenly demon, as a master he fulfilled every role he was expected to. As a lord, he fulfilled every role he was expected to. As a cultivator he was an absolute monster with power to level countries if he gets serious. But he never abused his power and never his will once wavered, never once his eyes watered. The old monster was admirable for Alaric at least.

There was less time now that the hidden realm was about to open in a couple of years and the Heavenly Demon was practically rushing in his teaching, afraid that he won't be able to come back from it like his other predecessors too. This benefited Alaric as he absorbed the knowledge like a sponge in water.

His cultivation was hidden by nano and no one in the world knew about it, his master thought he was in the Golden Core (Beginner Level) and was proud with him, Alaric's fake Special physique took the responsibility for his growth and the heavenly demon never once doubted him as the parasites were running through his disciple and a single lie would be known to him, if spoken.

Alaric was like a hidden predator who was waiting to strike with his eyes wide open, in a trance, which was more dangerous than what the demonic cult has seen over the years.
