Among them, Su Changkong left a deep impression on Hua Shan.A young man who earned his living forging iron had stepped out from an obscure land, making a name for himself in the Great Flame Empire, step by step.
While Hua Shan cultivated in the Super Spirit Vein, he even learned that this once naïve boy had already made a name for himself in the Ancient Holy Country!
On the day when the Heavenly Demon Blood Demon attacked, Hua Shan felt Su Changkong’s presence. It was not convenient to meet with Su Changkong at that time, so after returning to the Ancient Holy Country, Hua Shan had the Jiang Family contact Su Changkong to arrange a meeting.
"So it turns out... Hua Shan is the reincarnation of the Medicine Saint?"
Su Changkong also understood that the former Dr. Hua Shan was the Medicine Saint reincarnated and that their several chance encounters might not have been coincidental but rather a form of karmic connection.
"Please, have a seat. This is tea I’ve brewed."
Hua Shan invited Su Changkong to sit down at an ordinary wooden table and poured him a cup of tea.
"Excellent tea!" The tea was clear and translucent. Su Changkong took a sip and his eyes lit up. He could feel the breath of life in the tea, like the Essence of Hundred Herbs, which soothed his body and gave his soul the sensation of soaking in a hot spring.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will answer whatever I can," offered Hua Shan.
Indeed, Su Changkong had many curiosities and doubts. Now that he knew Hua Shan was the Medicine Saint, Su Changkong didn’t hold back and asked directly, "Among the Nine Great Ancient Sages, is it only the Medicine Saint who has successfully reincarnated?"
Hearing this, Hua Shan shook his head, "No... the other eight will also return. It’s only a matter of time. Some of them have returned even before me."
Su Changkong was somewhat surprised. According to Hua Shan, other Ancient Saints had already successfully reincarnated, but it seemed they had kept this news hidden, staying low-profile and unknown to outsiders.
What puzzled Su Changkong even more was the extremely low probability of successful reincarnation. Yet, Hua Shan claimed that all Nine Great Ancient Sages could reincarnate successfully. What was the reason for this?
Seeming to see Su Changkong’s confusion, Hua Shan explained, "The success rate of reincarnation depends first on the strength of the Primordial Spirit—the stronger it is, the higher the success rate. Furthermore, it depends on the impact and traces left by the Reincarnator in this world. The more traces left behind, the greater the chance of successful reincarnation!"
"I see!" Su Changkong realized. No wonder almost all of the Nine Great Ancient Sages left behind families and legacies to increase their chances of successful reincarnation—the more traces they left, the higher the probability.
There were some who reincarnated, and after several years, there were few who even remembered them, making their chances of reincarnation pitifully low!
With the legacy of the Nine Great Ancient Sages in the human race enduring for eons, known by all, their chances of successful reincarnation were almost guaranteed to be one hundred percent!
Su Changkong steadied himself, realizing that more than one Ancient Saint had returned, the foundation of the human race was stronger than he imagined!
Unable to help himself, Su Changkong asked, "Is this great upheaval caused by those Heavenly Demons? And where do these Heavenly Demons come from?"
An unprecedented tumult had arrived, more terrifying than in ancient times. If it could not be withstood, it would mean the extinction of everything. As far as Su Changkong knew, this great upheaval most likely originated from the Demon Monster Clan and those Heavenly Demons.
There were also claims that these Demon Monsters were not from this world but came from beyond this realm!
A serious expression appeared on Hua Shan’s face, "The great upheaval... indeed originates from a demon disaster, but this is not the source."
"Not the source?"
Su Changkong listened intently. As one of the Nine Great Ancient Sages, Medicine Saint Hua Shan stood at the pinnacle of this world, spanning long years. The levels he touched upon, the things he understood, were some of the deepest secrets!
Hua Shan nodded, "The Heavenly Demons... they are truly dreadful, unkillable entities. While we can defeat them, we cannot eradicate them completely, only drive them into dormancy for a period. And each time they reappear, they are stronger than before, because their source... is a truly Transcendent, terrifying existence."
"A Transcendent, terrifying existence?"
Su Changkong couldn’t help but feel startled. The Heavenly Demons were not the pinnacle of the Demon Monster Clan; behind them stood a being so fearsome that even the Nine Great Ancient Sages acknowledged its transcendence!
"Who is he?" Su Changkong immediately pressed.
"I don’t know... He has never appeared. We have sought to investigate him, but the information we have is scant. However, what we do know is that he is not a creature from this world. He arrived here in ancient times, before the rise of the human race, and his purpose... is destruction, plunder, to turn this world into a desolate wasteland. And those Heavenly Demons, Demon Monsters, they are but his minions!"
Hua Shan spoke gravely. When addressing the source of the great upheaval, his expression turned serious and somber.
Not a being from this world, he sought to annihilate it; the Demon Monster Clan was but his embodiment, his agents, who had once almost obliterated this world, ending the wild and ancient era!
And the human race had risen anew only afterward, under the leadership of the Nine Great Ancient Sages.
"Even his identity is unknown?"
Su Changkong couldn’t help saying.
Even if, like in ancient times, we defeat the Demon Monster Clan and repress the multitude of Heavenly Demons, it would still be in vain. After a period, they would return once more.
