Spirit Vessel

Chapter 1164: Public Revelation

The old crow’s corpse fell to the ground, turning an entire region into a raging inferno. Those nearby were reduced to ashes.

A bright ray flew out of the inferno and carried a powerful saint presence - Immortal Refiner.

It flew into the hand of Long Jie who stood calmly with a transcending aura.

Di Zhong stared straight at him. The two saints caused the atmosphere to freeze up.

However, the blood of the humans was boiling since their race still had a saint!

Saints served as the spine for a race, protecting and guiding them forward. As long as a particular race still had a saint alive, exterminating them would be rather difficult.

Demons weren’t as confident as before. The wrath of a saint could obliterate all of them.

Feiyun gazed at the crowd and said: “The human race reigned before Time Immemorial. The dao had flaws at the start, only to be fixed by Grand Saint Nuwa using her own dao. The golden crow’s ancestors ran rampant and caused devastating damage to the land, Nine-arrow Grand Saint slew nine on the same day. Terra Grand Saint killed the serpent king and created hell, opening the path of reincarnation and uniting the nine continents. Lord of both the yin and yang world, lord of the terra.”

“How many know that all three Grand Saints were humans? During our golden age, all the demon races combined could only rival us at best, who dared to talk about exterminating us then?”

Feiyun spoke confidently and clearly. His voice penetrated the mind of both demons and humans.

“The Immemorial Grand Saints were humans?”

“Humans were stronger than demons and phoenixes?”

“Impossible, this is nonsense.”

In fact, even humans didn’t believe him. Of course, they wanted to have a proud history but this was drastically different from the present day.

Demons sneered and didn’t buy it. After all, everyone liked boasting about their own strength and past.

“What proof do you have?” Xuanyuan Yiyi calmed down and asked.

Feiyun bowed respectfully toward the old man before addressing the crowd: “Saints do not lie. You dare question a saint?”

Everyone became silent after hearing this. It was a different story if it came from an actual saint. If this news were to spread, all races would be shocked.

All eyes were on Di Zhong. Humans stared at him with hope and anticipation while the demons had suspicion in their eyes.

Di Zhong’s coarse yet commanding voice could be heard by everyone: “He is right, the human race was the strongest before Time Immemorial. All demon races had to team up together to keep it competitive.”

“Unfortunately, a calamity occurred during the end of Time Immemorial. Eight continents collapsed, leaving behind West Bull.”

Di Zhong’s voice was accompanied by the truth of the grand dao as he talked about the past.

“The greatest human masters fell during the last battle but they repelled the enemies, protecting the inhabitants of the last continents. With their death, the human survivors had no choice but to become servants of the demons. Their golden age… no more…”

Once he finished speaking, only the sound of the winds could be heard.

This obviously came from the jade because Di Zhong was now dead. Feiyun did this with a goal in mind.

History had been changed and he alone couldn’t solve this mystery. However, the mastermind behind this would definitely take action afterward. Feiyun wanted to bait them out into the open.

Many humans prostrated on the ground and wept after hearing this.

“Venerable Saint, please tell us, why was this history hidden?”

“Our ancestors protected the continent with their lives yet their descendants live on as slaves? How ironic…” A paragon lamented at the sky.

“We are not weak! I will fight to the death!”

“Venerable Saint, are there remains of our great ancestors? I wish to visit and offer them my respect before my last days…” An old man kneeled and asked while trembling emotionally.

“Was it the dragon or phoenix? Or all of them? That must be it, that’s why they keep on keeping us down, they don’t want us to rise again!”

An emotional frenzy broke out among the human cultivators.

As for Feiyun, he focused on observing the expression of the powerful demons. Alas, they were strong and experienced, capable of concealing their emotions and thoughts.

Feiyun didn’t talk about the details of the calamity or the invaders from another world.

There were two reasons for this - he knew very little about the actual calamity, only a few lines from Phoenix Servant. Since she only had a remnant intent left, there could have been inaccuracies. Moreover, she didn’t mention the strength of the human race either, only the prowess of Immemorial Divine Phoenix.

This matter was of utmost importance. Any inaccuracy could lead them down the wrong path. Thus, he wanted to find the exact truth before divulging this key piece of information to the world.

Secondly, the myriad races were not at peace. The invaders still hid among them. Perhaps humans would believe him but the demons might be persuaded to start another war by these invaders.

Telling everyone about these outsiders might have an adverse effect - causing war instead of building solidarity. Moreover, he would become a prime target as well.

By just bringing up the past, the demon leaders might start investigating themselves. Perhaps they would be the first ones to find the truth.

There was no need for Feiyun to seek them out; they would come to him when the time was right. This conversation planted a seed in the demons and hopefully in due time with ample rain, it would sprout.

Long Jie remained calm from start to finish and sneered: “Nonsense, dragons are the leaders of the world, humans were mere insects back in Time Immemorial. Today, I will show you how weak this so-called human saint is. After I defeat him, he will be nothing more than another human, his words will no longer be trustworthy.”
