Chapter 175 Ten Thousand Years Ago
"The Holy Mountain collapsed?" The deputy demon general's pupils shrank.
As the deputy demon general of the Crimson Demon General's Mansion, he vaguely knew some of the information.
The infiltration of the Northern Demon Realm into the Northern Ridge Holy Land seems to be an attempt to secretly sabotage the Holy Mountain and destroy the Holy Water Pool.
After all, the holy water poses a great threat to the demons. It would be much more difficult for demons to parasitize anyone who has drunk the holy water.
The Demon King's Palace in the Demon Realm has given instructions for their four demon clans to parasitize cultivators in the cultivation world as much as possible, infiltrating all those sects, so that they can better disintegrate the human race when they launch a full-scale invasion.
If the north wants to infiltrate, the first problem to solve is the issue of holy water.
The density of these mission machines is extremely high, and generally only the existence of Demon Generals and Deputy Demon Generals would know about them.
So why is this voice so clear in my mind?
The demon general's pupils contracted; only now did he truly realize an unprecedented sense of loss of control.
Perhaps the Northern Ridge Holy Land had already sensed the situation and was just waiting for them to walk right into their trap!
Thinking of this, the deputy demon general cursed inwardly, "Damn the northern demons! They leaked information while I was on a mission, and now they want to drag the southern demons down with them!"
"How could you leak such an important mission?" The deputy demon general glared at the white-robed steward not far away, his dark red eyes filled with madness.
"If the Holy Lord of Beiling hears this, not only will our plans in the north fail, but we in the south will also suffer!"
The white-robed steward opposite him frowned, his face also filled with shock. His pale hand kept stroking the silver-white longsword inlaid with blue spirit ore, and his disguised human heart was pounding rapidly.
So much so that even the white-robed steward could hear his own rapid heartbeat.
He knew very well that this plan was known only to him, and no other demons in the Northern Region knew about it!
Having already risen to the position of manager, he was more cautious than ever before. How could he possibly have lost his mind?
So, who leaked the news about the collapse of the sacred mountain?
Unless, there's a spy!
"This mission is over. We must leave. The Northern Ridge Holy Land is extremely dangerous. Take care of yourselves!"
The demon general quickly summoned the demons he had brought with him, preparing to leave.
However, the white-robed manager on the other side blocked their way, his face full of anger.
"No, you can't leave! If the Northern Ridge Holy Land has already discovered our plan, then this is our only chance!"
…
While the demons were fighting, everyone around the Holy Mountain suddenly had images flash through their minds—scenes of the Central Holy Land from ten thousand years ago.
The rolling white mountains seemed to stand on an island in the center, with snowflakes falling heavily in the air, and the whole world was white.
In the center of the island stands a tall and majestic sacred mountain.
The white mountain peaks stand majestically and mysteriously amidst the sea of clouds.
The towering peaks, seemingly reaching into the clouds and stretching across the sky, are like the roof of the world, drawing a boundary between heaven and earth.
On the sacred mountain, a man with long black hair sat on an ancient stone, gazing at the distant, misty sea of clouds.
"Yu Xiu, so you're here!" A woman dressed in a bright green dress came towards the wind.
"Congratulations on developing the holy water to deal with the demons! The entire Holy Land is discussing this now, and the Holy Lord has decided to give you the highest reward!"
Yu Xiu watched the girl run towards him, his face still expressionless.
"Yu Xiu, you're amazing! The holy water actually instilled fear in those demons. Countless people died on the Demon Realm battlefield, all thanks to the victory brought by the holy water!"
"Yu Xiu, would you like to come with us to the Demon Realm Battlefield? The elders are very pleased."
Surrounded by so many people and hearing congratulations one after another, the man finally smiled.
The next second, the scene changed.
The holy water that was originally poured out in large quantities was used on various weapons.
Someone crafted holy water into icy arrows, and one after another, icy blue arrows pierced the bodies of demons, spreading black and red across the foot of the snow-capped mountain.
Someone evaporated the holy water into a thick fog, surrounding the demons and halting their advance.
Someone used holy water when making weapons, and the resulting blades easily pierced through the bodies of demons.
The demons were temporarily defeated, and cheers erupted from the holy land.
In recognition of his merit, the Holy Land bestowed upon the man the title of the new Holy Son, hoping that he could lead them to avenge their past humiliation and conquer the Demon Realm.
A man with long black hair, draped in a sacred white-gold robe and holding a golden sword, stood atop the holy mountain, gazing at the people in the distance, and made a vow.
However, the scene soon changed.
Anyone who drinks the holy water will vomit blood violently, and black mist will continuously emerge from their head, eventually transforming them into a monster with black and red eyes.
More and more people in the holy land are turning into demons, the holy land's defenses are collapsing, the demons are making a comeback, and the white mist surrounding the holy mountain is turning black...
The scene shifted again, and a demon king appeared beside Yu Xiu and the surrounding disciples of the holy land, speaking with gratitude.
"Thank you for your great support, Holy Son, which enabled us to create holy water using the Demon Seed..."
"Yu Xiu, the Demon Clan owes its current status to you! You are truly a hero of our Demon Clan!"
What were meant to be words of gratitude sounded to Yu Xiu like a thick, overwhelming darkness, pouring out venom without restraint...
He instinctively turned his head and found that the eyes of everyone around him were filled with deep resentment.
Even his former comrades-in-arms picked up weapons and turned against him.
"Yu Xiu, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could my father have turned into a demon?"
"Yu Xiu, you killed my child! I'm going to fight you to the death!"
"It's all because of these holy waters you created that we've been harmed. It's all a conspiracy. You just want to use the holy waters to control us and turn us all into monsters!"
"Holy Lord, seize him quickly! He is a sinner of the Holy Land. If it weren't for him, how could the Central Holy Land have ended up like this?"
"Yu Xiu, why don't you just die? Why isn't it you who's going to die?"
One curse after another pierced Yu Xiu's heart like the sharpest sword.
Not only that, even the Holy Lord's eyes turned bloodshot, and he used the Immortal Binding Rope to tie him up.
Not only that, but to vent their resentment, those people even nailed him to the mountain peak, embedding him in forty-nine soul nails.
Those who wished they could devour his flesh raw buried thousands of pieces of his body at the base of the mountain...
At this point, the entire image is pixelated.
But just by looking at those people's movements, you can completely guess what they are doing.
…
"So this is the lost history from ten thousand years ago. The Central Holy Land actually has such a past, which is not recorded in any of the current books."
The Holy Lord murmured to himself.
The Beiling Holy Land separated from the Central Holy Land, but this does not mean that the Beiling Holy Land inherited everything from the Central Holy Land.
Instead, they only inherited the superficial aspects, lacking even the core essence of the heritage. They could only piece together the history from scattered books.
Even the holy water on the sacred mountain was discovered by accident, and their effects were only known in the last hundred years.
Who would have thought that this holy water, which contains immense power and can make those demons retreat in fear, was actually man-made? It's simply unbelievable.
However, was that so-called holy water really a conspiracy by that holy son?
If the holy water was part of a conspiracy from ten thousand years ago, then why haven't they discovered it yet, having consumed it for a century?
With their holy water, the Northern Ridge Holy Land has wiped out countless demons in the northern demon battlefield, and even some demon generals have not escaped.
If this is a conspiracy, then why haven't the demons used the holy water to control them yet?
Upon further reflection, he realized that the description in the voice of the heart referred to the sacred mountain as the burial place of vengeful spirits that had existed for millennia, and his brows furrowed tightly.
