Chapter 248 : Someone Got It First
"Wait." Chu Sang suddenly realized something was amiss. She looked at the others and said slowly, "If that's the case, it's highly likely that the upper realm has distributed Divine Decrees to each place. Although we don't know their intention for doing this, the demon race, ghost race, and beast race all have Divine Decrees appearing in the world. Logically... the cultivation world should have one too, right? But have you heard any news of a Divine Decree appearing in the cultivation world?"
This remark made the others realize something. Indeed, sect informants had reported multiple times about Divine Decrees appearing in the other three races, which was most likely a certainty. Strangely, news from the cultivation world should be the most readily available, but for so long, they hadn't heard any news of a Divine Decree appearing in the cultivation world... Could it be that the upper realm had uniquely omitted the cultivation world?
Did this thing show racial bias?
"Do you think there's a possibility that the cultivation world's Divine Decree actually appeared long ago, but someone got their hands on it first?" Chu Sang speculated slowly.
"Who obtained the Divine Decree?"
She shook her head, "We don't know who specifically got it for now. These are just my one-sided guesses. If this is indeed the truth, it will surface sooner or later. We might as well wait patiently for now."
The others didn't say much more. In this situation, they didn't have any better solutions for the time being. Wen Renyue raised a finger, "Since we've received the news, the Eight Great Immortal Sects should have received it too. We need to set out quickly for the demon realm and ghost realm. During the battle with the Demon Emperor last time, everyone saw that the power of the Divine Decree could greatly increase a person's strength, even breaking through to the Great Perfection stage. If it weren't for Little Junior Sister's timely breakthrough to Divine Transformation, using the power of the tribulation thunder to defeat the Demon Emperor, we would have all perished in the demon realm... If we let the other two realms obtain the power of the Divine Decree, the consequences would be unthinkable."
"Did you notice that after the Demon Emperor obtained the Divine Decree, his expression was very strange? The difference before and after was like two completely different people. It was as if he was being controlled by someone out of thin air..." Mu Changqing had stayed in the demon realm to handle the aftermath, but the others had all seen the puppets he made. If they had to compare it to something, the Demon Emperor at that time was exactly like those puppets he created, Tantai Ming said, blinking his eyes.
"Although we successfully stopped the Demon Emperor, it's a pity we didn't see the contents of the Divine Decree..." Chu Sang stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, then raised her head and continued, "If possible, this time we must seize the initiative and see clearly what's written on the Divine Decree..."
With Second Senior Brother keeping the ghost race in check, there shouldn't be any problems for now. Even if the situation changes, they can receive news at any time and adapt accordingly. The demon race has always been an unpredictable landmine, with a threat level even greater than the beast realm. They should go to the demon race first to take a look.
She had also received some information from the Master. Recently, the demon race had been vying for the position of Demon Lord, busy with internal strife, so things had been relatively stable for a while. In the past two months, however, they had resumed their previous reckless behavior. Many border areas of the cultivation world had been disturbed by the demon race. They could go there to clean up those demon bandits, and if possible, delve deeper into the demon race to investigate matters related to the Divine Decree. They didn't expect to uncover much information, just to return safely would be enough.
The Nine Great Immortal Sects, knowing the danger of the Divine Decree matter, had already entrusted this task to the elders of each sect. However, the elders' strength was too great and easily exposed, so they needed disciples to go ahead and scout for information.
