I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

“Never again!!!”

Hearing the four words spoken by the ancestor of the Shangguan family, everyone below was shocked.

Especially the Southern Domain’s Demon Defeating Righteous Army, led by Yu Ziyu.

Ye Jingyu’s gaze instantly turned sharp, even under the terrifying pressure, he coldly looked at the big figures from the Central Domain above.

The calamity of the Demon Dao has persisted for nearly a hundred years,

With tens of thousands of cultivators dead and injured.

Can it really end with a mere lightweight sentence, ’Never again’?

“This…” The faces of the four clan elders stationed in Sky Immortal City changed slightly, instinctively looking towards their ancestors.

The ancestors of the Jiang family and Taihao Sacred Land among the four made no movement, choosing not to speak first, instead smilingly watching Shangguan Qingming.

Seeing this, Shangguan Qingming laughed heartily: “Hahaha, my old friends, at our level of cultivation, we should detach ourselves from worldly matters, otherwise, how can we pursue the path to immortality?

This is the immortal discourse left by our Ascension Immortal Ancestor Shangguan. Today, I shall share it with all of you.

Additionally, regarding those trifles previously mentioned, this old man agrees to them all. We five old fellows must discourse on the Dao for endless aeons, let’s not ruin millennia of friendship over such matters.

This is also the holy decree of Emperor Cangming.”

“Hahaha, thank you, brother Shangguan, for sharing the immortal discourse of the Immortal Ancestor.” The Jiang family ancestor stroked his beard with a smile.

“Brother Shangguan speaks rightly; in the entire Eastern Desolation, now only us five old fellows can sit together and discuss the Dao.” Taihao Sacred Land’s ancestor also nodded in agreement.

“We’re all old now, indeed shouldn’t meddle much in the younger generation’s affairs, not getting involved.”

…

Seeing the affirmation from the other four ancestors, Shangguan Qingming laughed heartily, though there was a hidden chill in his heart.

If not for helping the Imperial City of Cangming capture An Liuli and sending her to the Imperial City, without the intervention of the Dynasty of Cangming, how could these four families be so lenient?

With a smile, he nodded towards Shangguan Liuyun below.

“Quickly unlock Shangguan Gongzi’s shackles!” Taihao Sacred Land’s ancestor instructed with a smile.

The clan elder of Taihao Sacred Land immediately nodded and waved his large hand.

“Crack!” The shackles forged by the Nascent Soul True Monarch snapped with a sound.

“Since all is settled, this old man will host, three cups of penalty wine, please.” Shangguan Qingming smiled slightly, gesturing to the four ancestors.

“Hahaha, good, good, I’ve been hankering after your Thousand-year-old Cyan Nether Wine for long, today I must taste it well.”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

…

Just as the five ancestors were about to step into the Door of Celestial Transmission,

“Hold on!”

“Hold on!”

Two voices unexpectedly sounded at the same time.

All present were drawn to the sound.

One was Shangguan Liuyun.

The other was surprisingly Ye Jingyu.

In such a setting, with the presence of the five great paramount forces’ ancestors of the Central Domain, not to mention Core Formation cultivators, even Nascent Soul True Monarchs had no right to speak.

Shangguan Liuyun, as the Divine Son of the Shangguan family, had already shown a lack of etiquette by speaking at this moment.

As for Ye Jingyu, he was even more reckless.

“Hmm?” Shangguan Qingming slightly turned, first glanced at Shangguan Liuyun, then squinted at Ye Jingyu.

Ye Jingyu instantly felt the pressure of the heavens and earth descend on him, his knees involuntarily wanting to kneel, ultimately he bit the tip of his tongue, forcibly eliciting a thread of vital essence blood, barely resisting.

Immediately, he gazed at the sky solemnly: “Reporting to all venerable seniors with prowess, this Southern Domain calamity has lasted a hundred years, claiming tens of thousands of Southern Domain cultivators’ lives,

And the Wei Kingdom has been under Demon Sect’s control for hundreds of years, a poison to life, a devastation to morality, breeding the entire Wei Kingdom’s cultivation world as their pasture,

The root of all this lies within him!

Such nefarious deeds, intolerable by the heavens, how can they be dismissed with a mere sentence of ’Never again’?

Have you ever inquired about the tens of thousands of innocent cultivators of the Southern Domain who died in suffering, or asked about the orphans left homeless by Demon Sect’s calamity?

Furthermore, why did this villain breed the Demon Dao, why propped up the Demon Sect, is it truly by his sheer strength alone…”

Boom~

Before Ye Jingyu’s words were finished, the entire crowd was shocked.

Is a mere Core Formation cultivator actually daring to question the five grand ancestors of the Central Domain?

Courting death?

Instantly, the scene fell silent, the world became quiet.

The crowd below not even daring to raise their heads to look at the faces of the five ancestors.

Silence, terrifying silence!

After a while,

“Hahaha!” Shangguan Qingming burst into laughter.

Pointing at Ye Jingyu below, he then looked at the surrounding four ancestors and the crowd behind him.

As if he heard an earth-shattering joke.

“Ah…hahahaha!” Then the crowd behind him erupted into laughter.

Yu Ziyu was sweating profusely, while he admired Ye Jingyu in his heart, his heart also jumped in shock, worrying for Ye Jingyu’s fate.

“Does anyone else object?” Finally, Shangguan Qingming spoke.

His gaze like a blade, sweeping through the cultivators of the Southern Domain below.

The tens of thousands of Righteous Army in Sky Immortal City, including the top ten sects of Yan Kingdom such as Profound Celestial Sect and Carefree Palace, at this moment, no one dared to lift their heads.

Only Ye Jingyu’s face turned pale, his whole body’s vital essence blood and bones resonating loudly, still enduring the pressure, looking up at the sky.

“Hehe~ It seems, it’s merely your solitary statement, how can that be trusted?” Shangguan Qingming smiled satisfactorily.

“And me!” Just then, a big man behind Yu Ziyu, with a vicious expression, forcefully raised his head and shouted.

“Zhou Cang!” Yu Ziyu was shocked, yet his heart stirred.

“Hmm?” Shangguan Qingming’s face slightly changed, his eyes emanating terrifying energy.

Zhou Cang, at merely Pill Formation, barely at Early Stage of True Core cultivation, how could he withstand such power, instantly collapsing to his knees, punching two pits into the bluestone floor beneath him.

“Old scoundrel, you…shall die a miserable death!” Zhou Cang’s whole body’s bones sustained a force of ten thousand pounds, seemingly about to shatter in the next moment, but a momentary ferocity surged forth as he cursed bitterly through gritted teeth.

The crowd immediately changed color, compared to Ye Jingyu’s questioning, Zhou Cang appeared even more reckless beyond measure.
