Blood Devil Cliff was a place where prisoners were imprisoned. This place was considered an inner world of the Judiciary Hall and outsiders would have no way to enter, let alone having a devil king priest leading the way for him.
In addition, earlier before the devil king priest left, he even said that if Bai Qing were to leave this place now, the grand priest wouldn't have any objections at all.
This caused Bai Qing's eyes to flash with curiosity as she stared unblinkingly at Qin Wentian.
"Wentian gege how did you manage to do it?" Bai Qing asked in a gentle voice.
"Are you referring to how I entered the Judiciary Hall? I naturally walked straight in the front door." Qin Wentian laughed. Bai Qing's lips twitched as she rolled her eyes, "Stop bragging."
"Haha little lass, what sort of character is your Wentian gege? Is there something I cannot do?" Qin Wentian's lips curled up in a smile as he tousled Bai Qing's hair. Bai Qing was somewhat in a daze but she soon started laughing as well. This scene was like both of them have returned to their childhood.
She still remembered how she worshiped him when she was young. Sadly, her elder sister didn't believe in him and chose to marry into the Ye Clan. If not, Wentian gege would be her brother-in-law now.
"Wentian gege, let's talk when we leave here." Bai Qing hugged Qin Wentian's arm as she smiled, as though she had returned to herself back in the past, the girl who loved to cling on Qin Wentian, who loved to play with Qin Wentian.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. Bai Qing hasn't changed at all.
The two of them soared through the air. A terrifying devil might gushed forth from Qin Wentian, causing many of the prisoners here to not dare to get near them. Only those insane devil experts would obstruct them, and all of them who came were easily destroyed by Qin Wentian. When she saw Qin Wentian's strength, Bai Qing was very happy. As expected, there was nothing her Wentian gege couldn't accomplish.
That day back in the sacred academy, she could still help her Wentian gege to do some minor things. But now, her Wentian gege was capable of once again protecting her.
"Little lass Qing, back then I searched the Devil Statue Cliff in our particle world for you but I couldn't find you. How did you become the priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall?" Qin Wentian curiously asked.
"I have no idea as well. Back then at the Devil Statue Cliff, I accidentally entered an altar and was chosen by the power of judgement. Only after a long time did I know that the Judiciary Devil Hall had placed numerous judgement altars in many particle worlds. The purpose of the altars were able to initiate a selection by the judgement will that served to select seedlings who were most suited to cultivate the power of judgement. I was selected somehow."
Bai Qing laughed in a casual tone. However the truth wasn't as simple as what she summarized. Her being able to have her position today naturally meant that a great amount of luck was involved. However her determination, will and persistence couldn't be ignored either. If not, she wouldn't have been able to pass the tests at the Devil Statue Cliff and would have already died there.
"Wentian gege, what about you? During this period of time when I was imprisoned, what happened when you entered the Saint Devil Hall? Could it be that you also obtained the inheritance of the Judiciary Devil Hall and are now heavily regard by the hall? This is the reason you gained permission to enter here. In that case, does that mean that you would be a judiciary priest in the future as well?" Bai Qing contemplated for a moment as she probed.
Qin Wentian shrugged, "The inheritance of the Judiciary Devil Hall? Are you intentionally underestimating me?"
Bai Qing rolled her eyes. Staring at the self-satisfied look of Qin Wentian, she then laughed, "Could it be that you gained more than one inheritance from there?"
"Nope." Qin Wentian shook her head. When he stared at Bai Qing, he smiled and stated, "I think I managed to obtain the inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign."
After speaking, Qin Wentian rubbed his nose in an extremely self-satisfying manner. Bai Qing's beautiful eyes froze as she mumbled in disbelief, "Really?"
"I think there should be no mistake." Qin Wentian laughed.
Bai Qing let out a joyful giggle. She then clasped her hands over her mouth, and when she glanced at her Wentian gege, a radiant smile appeared on her face. Her Wentian gege was so awesome, he actually managed to obtain the inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign.
"In that case, Wentian gege you have a chance to become the master of the Devil Mountain." Bai Qing mumbled. Qin Wentian's eyes flickered as he asked, "Is the Myriad Devil Sovereign a real existence? If he is, does he reside on the Devil Mountain?"
"I have no idea." Bai Qing shook her head. "But I know for sure the Myriad Devil Sovereign does truly exist. If not, there is no way that the Devil Mountain could be so stable despite the passage of countless years. The powerful supreme devil halls would long for supremacy and become divided, given the crafty personalities of the masters of the supreme halls, each having their own schemes and plots. I believe that if their hearts have no true reverence for the sovereign, the Devil Mountain would have long crumbled into dust."
Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly, he agreed fully with this point. The Devil Mountain was said to have ten thousand devil halls, and at the very peak of the mountain, other than the Saint Devil Hall, there are six other supreme halls, each with a master of its own. There was no way things would be so harmonious if there wasn't someone they deeply feared or respected in their hearts.
This person which they feared, other than the Myriad Devil Sovereign, there wouldn't be anyone else. If there's someone else, that person would be the Myriad Devil Sovereign for sure.
"However, I've never heard of the sovereign appearing before. I only know that the Saint Devil Hall had existed since the beginning and the various inheritances of the other supreme halls are from there. There's also rumors saying that if someone could obtain the inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign, he or she would be his true successor, with a possibility to truly unite the Devil Mountain and become the Devil Sovereign of a generation."
Bai Qing explained. She then stared at Qin Wentian, "If this is true, Wentian gege, it's possible that you might become the Devil Sovereign of the generation."
"Devil Sovereign?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. He didn't think of this before. After obtaining the inheritance, he knew he would soon face danger. Luckily, a hegemon-level character spoke up for him and caused the crisis to be averted. It seems that that expert who didn't show himself might know of this in detail. He wondered what it meant exactly for him to gain the inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign.
However, Qin Wentian couldn't be bothered to think so much. He will first cultivate for a number of years on the Devil Mountain before directly returning to the immortal realms. As for this inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign, he will considered this seriously in the future. The him now wasn't qualified because he simply wasn't strong enough yet.
"Bai Qing, let me tell you what happened exactly in detail. You help me to analyse who that mysterious person might be." Qin Wentian then told everything to Bai Qing. A look of pondering flashed in Bai Qing's eyes before she replied, "It should be one of the devil emperors who sits in the throne of one of the supreme devil halls. If I didn't guess wrongly, the owner of that ethereal voice might be the King Priest of the Judiciary Hall."
"King Priest? The devil master of the Judiciary Hall?" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered. After that voice rang out, the grand priest did indeed apologize first. From a certain angle, Bai Qing's guess might be right. For those who could make the grand priest submit so easily, the king priest should be the only one.
The King Priest truly possesses towering amounts of authority. He could make a judgement on anything and if people disagreed or refused to comply, he could do anything he want to do them. Hence, when he gave an order, no one in the Myriad Devl Islands would dare to defy him.
"He actually said that you can have access to all the other supreme devil halls for cultivation and the other supreme devil halls didn't object either. In that case, shouldn't I give Wentian gege the judgement cultivation manual for you to cultivate?"
"Forget it, I already implicated you, causing you to be imprisoned." Qin Wentian shook his head. "Sadly, the inheritance of the Myriad Devil Sovereign cannot be pass down directly. One has to experience attacks from his will personally, or I would have already passed that on to you."
"It's fine, we already guessed that the owner of the ethereal voice might be the King Priest. If that's the case, the better our relationship is, the happier the Judiciary Devil Hall would be. In the future if you truly become the controller of the Devil Mountain, wouldn't that be an ending the Judiciary Hall wished to see?" Bai Qing smiled. Qin Wentian glanced at her. Bai Qing seemed to have reverted back to her naive and innocent self of her younger days before him, but she was still extremely intelligent.
As the two of them conversed, they unknowingly already reached the exit point of the Blood Devil Cliff. Bai Qing used special methods and brought Qin Wentian out of this dimension, returning to the inner world of the Judiciary Devil Hall.
The devil king priest was there waiting for them. When he saw Qin Wentian appearing, he couldn't help but to smile, "Priestess Bai, earlier the grand priest send out a command. If Qin Wentian needs anything in our Judiciary Devil Hall, you will be responsible for fulfilling all his needs. You can also share with him and aid him in our cultivation arts and techniques."
"I hear and obey." Bai Qing bowed in a certain direction.
"Brother Qin, since Bai Qing will lead you, I won't be a busybody then. Farewell." The devil king priest turned and left. Bai Qing stared at his departing back as her smile grew even more radiant. "Wentian gege, seems like the last remnant of our doubt is already solved."
Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed. Seems like the Judiciary Devil Hall really wanted to salvage their relationship and decided to befriend him.
Qin Wentian didn't believe that things were so simple as that of him obtaining the Myriad Devil Sovereign's inheritance. Maybe what Bai Qing said was right, the Myriad Devil Sovereign truly does exist as his will is hidden here somewhere on the Devil Mountain, causing the Devil Mountain to operate like clockwork according to preset rules.
"Wentian gege, let's cultivate together. Let me bring you to take a look at some of the extremely powerful innate techniques and arts of our hall before I impart to you my insights." Bai Qing pulled Qin Wentian along as she led the way. Qin Wentian could only bitterly smile as he nodded. This little lass seemed even more urgent in comparison to him.
Qin Wentian followed Bai Qing and after that, he started on a period of cultivation with Bai Qing providing her insights.
A year later, he exited the Judiciary Hall and headed to the other halls. No one obstructed him, but the Apostle Devil Hall was too unfathomable and wasn't suited for him. The Darkness Devil Hall was extremely secretive, as though they didn't really welcome him who was an immortal realm cultivator. As for the Sky Devil Hall, Qin Wentian discovered that the cultivation techniques and arts there were inferior compared to the Judiciary Devil Hall and Mo Xie seemed to have hid himself away completely. Qin Wentian could find no trace of him.
For the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall, when Yulong Shengtu saw Qin Wentian appearing in the devil hall he was in, and was brought to their library of secret techniques and arts by seniors of the hall, his countenance became immensely ugly to behold. But now, his status was a far cry away when compared to Qin Wentian. What a pitiful thing.
His hatred for Qin Wentian was destined to never be avenged.
The Myriad Ancient Devil Hall was very friendly to Qin Wentian but Qin Wentian discovered that he wasn't really suited to their techniques. As for Bujie, he seemed extremely proficient in them and appeared to be a truly suitable successor to take over the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall!
