Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!

Li Cheng also sensed something and exchanged a glance with Hua Tianji. They left the four Elders behind and flew together toward the deeper parts of the Confucian Sect.

All three of them had felt it—Confucius Ancestor's incarnation had emerged from seclusion!

When the trio arrived at the site of Confucius Ancestor's retreat, they saw him with a solemn expression, staring towards the west, silent for a long time.

"Father, what has happened?" Li Cheng frowned. He had seldom seen his father so serious since childhood. The last time was when he had divided his soul.

Confucius Ancestor let out a sigh, "The Ancestral Temple of Confucianism has been breached, and the one inside has escaped!"

"The God Race claimed they were attacking the Great Wall aiming to return to the Divine Realm, but in fact, they were after the one in the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism!"

These words made Li Cheng's pupils shrink.

The God Race's stance seemed indeed to be about returning to the Divine Realm, but unexpectedly, their real purpose turned out to be the one suppressed in the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism!

Perhaps, both were true!

If they were successful, they could return to the Divine Realm and once again become the overlord there.

Now that they had failed, yet still took away the one from the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism, could this truly be considered a failure?

"Father, who is the one in the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism?" Li Cheng inquired.

Confucius Ancestor did not conceal the truth, "That person comes from beyond this realm, rumored to be a powerhouse comparable to the Supreme Realm. A hundred billion years ago, they descended upon the Divine Realm, and even the combined strength of all the Divine Emperors couldn't slay them.

Eventually, they were suppressed in the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism by a great demon of heaven and earth."

"Do not be surprised, inter-universal entities do not adapt well to the Order of Heaven and Earth of the Divine Realm, so their ability to exert their full strength is greatly limited. Yet even so, the united forces of the Divine Realm back then couldn't kill them, only suppress them."

"Now that this person has escaped confinement along with the God Race from the Great Wall, once they adapt to the Order of Heaven and Earth, they will surely lead the God Race to return and stir up trouble."

Li Cheng secretly speculated that this implies the person might not be a strong entity from this universe, hence their inability to adapt to the cosmic order here, leading to their suppression.

Li Cheng had experienced soul division and was well aware that there is more than one universe out there—certainly, the universe where Huaxia resides is different from the current one.

What his father referred to as 'beyond this realm' should mean other universes.

After a moment of silence, Hua Tianji spoke up, "Master, with the great changes in the Divine Realm, we will not fear the supremes from outside in ten thousand years' time. Yet, in ten thousand years, that person probably won't be able to adapt."

Confucius Ancestor did not address that further and switched the topic, "I'm only sharing this with you so that you don't relax due to the changes in the Divine Realm. There are always higher heavens, and our enemies are not limited to those from within the Divine Realm."

"Master, I understand!" Hua Tianji bowed and said.

"The arrangements at the Great Wall are already in place, some will withdraw, and some will go out for exploration beyond our realm. The ones withdrawing will arrive in a few days. By then, the turmoil caused by the Evil Demons will continue, perhaps even intensify. You all need to be prepared."

"Little Cheng, your eldest senior brother volunteered to go beyond our realm and suggested that you take charge of the Demon-suppressing Department. What are your thoughts?"

Li Cheng was astonished. His eldest senior brother had gone beyond our realm?

The Demon-suppressing Department, initiated by the Sovereign of Origin and established with the intervention of the Demon Suppression Emperor, was meant to suppress the Evil Demons.

Now that his eldest senior brother had left, he wouldn't be returning anytime soon, and the Demon-suppressing Department couldn't be left without a leader for even a day.

But to put him in charge of managing it was certainly something Li Cheng was unwilling to do.

Shaking his head, Li Cheng said, "Father, first, I plan to focus on my cultivation, and second, I am not suited to manage the Demon-suppressing Department. Please consider one of my other senior brothers or sisters instead!"

"Master, the Sovereign of Origin said you are already at the Half-Step Supreme stage, why not take this opportunity to restrain those Evil Demons?" Yun Fuxue suggested.

Being a Half-Step Supreme was indeed an existence that surpassed the Divine Emperors. Since the high-ranking Evil Demons were also at the Great Wall, it was entirely possible to take this chance to restrain them.

Yun Fuxue was being quite tactful. With the strength of a Half-Step Supreme, it would be entirely possible to eliminate the high-ranking Evil Demons. Doing so would significantly reduce the threat they pose.

Taking over the conversation, Hua Tianji chuckled, "Little Junior Sister, the Evil Demons are also members of the Divine Realm, and their existence is justified. Moreover, countless Evil Demons are born every day, impossible to kill or exterminate. Even if the high-ranking ones are constrained, those lower-ranking Evil Demons are hardly manageable."

Li Cheng nodded slightly, especially considering the Dead Spirits. They arise from the dead, and as long as there are living beings, there will be Dead Spirits. If life continues, Dead Spirits will never cease.

As for the Demon Race, they are one of the relatively powerful races within the Divine Realm. As long as demonic power persists, the Demon Race will not disappear.

All things exist in a state of unity and conflict; the presence of Evil Demons is not necessarily a bad thing, for it can also harbor beneficial aspects.

Confucius Ancestor chuckled, "In the eyes of a Demon Emperor, the chaos caused by Evil Demons is merely a trial for the younger generations of the Wan Race. As one's Cultivation rises, so does one's perspective, and you will come to understand this in time."

These words gave off the impression that everyone below the Divine Emperor was insignificant, a feeling difficult to grasp without reaching such a Realm.

Yun Fuxue mused, "When Brother Cheng was ascending to Divine Venerable status, a Demon Emperor intervened. It was Elder Brother and several Elders who fended him off. Master, this matter can't just be left at that, can it?"

"Even the Divine Emperor cannot escape the fear of the unknown. The anomalies caused by Xiao Cheng's ascent into Divine Venerable status affected the entire Divine Realm. Naturally, the Demons were afraid. As for those who took action, I have already suppressed them," Confucius Ancestor said nonchalantly.

Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders, well aware that his father didn't bother with those Demon Emperors out of disdain. The only reason he took action to suppress them was purely parental protection.

"Alright, you may go about your matters. Xiao Cheng, follow me to see your Master," Confucius Ancestor said.

Li Cheng nodded. Before leaving, his Master had given him the Coffin of Hundred Lives. Now that he had returned and learned that the situation at the Great Wall was temporarily resolved, it was indeed time to see his Master.

Otherwise, Master might truly become angry.

Following his father to the peak of a mountain, they saw Wu Ya standing there with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant anomalies.

"It seems the matter has been resolved!" Wu Ya spoke, his voice calm.

Confucius Ancestor gave a respectful bow, "Many thanks to Brother Wu Ya for your assistance. Sadly, the Coffin of Hundred Lives is destroyed, and I cannot return it to you."

Wu Ya turned around and shook his head, "It's just a material possession. Brother Li, you need not blame yourself. How was the situation resolved?"

Confucius Ancestor sighed inwardly, "Originally, I planned to allow the God Race to return after a hundred thousand years, because by then, they would have no advantage to be feared, but there was an accident."

"An accident? The one in the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism?" Wu Ya narrowed his eyes slightly.

Confucius Ancestor nodded, "As expected, I can't hide it from Brother Wu Ya."

He knew that ten lifetimes ago, Wu Ya was the Space-Time Divine Ancestor, and he most likely had a hand in the turmoil that took place a hundred billion years ago. Perhaps even the one who was suppressed in the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism was subdued thanks to his efforts.

Wu Ya narrowed his eyes, "That person is outrageously powerful. Back then... it's best left unmentioned. Now that the Divine Realm is evolving, in ten thousand years it will be a completely different scene. By then, that person may no longer be feared."

Confucius Ancestor nodded in agreement, having seen much upon the Long River of Time. He also witnessed that turbulence from a hundred billion years ago. Although he did not see it clearly, he learned a fair amount and knew that in every era, there would be someone to resolve the crisis, which may well be the will of Heaven.

"By the way, Brother Li, when you returned from the Long River of Time, did you notice anything about the lower reaches?" Wu Ya inquired further.

The lower reaches naturally referred to the future.

"It was a blur; I couldn't see anything clearly," Confucius Ancestor stated.

Wu Ya nodded, "Exactly, the future of the universe is undetermined; anything might be the dark horse. I plan to explore beyond this realm!"

The last sentence was directed at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng was taken aback, "Master, as you said, the Divine Realm is evolving, and in ten thousand years, it will become a completely different landscape. The realms beyond may not necessarily compare to this one..."

Wu Ya waved his hand and interrupted Li Cheng, "You know well that I have reincarnated many times and have already grown weary. The time you rescued me over ten thousand years ago was actually when I was prepared to die... But that's another story. Anyway, I don't want to reincarnate again; I wish to achieve true immortality!"

Wu Ya's repeated reincarnations were akin to immortality, but the retention of memories was never complete, which might be why he had tired of it.

"Brother Wu Ya sees through the vagaries of life yet remains fixated on immortality. Xiao Cheng, offer your blessings to your Master," Confucius Ancestor sighed.

Wu Ya smiled, "Pursuing eternal life is the dream of most Cultivators, isn't it? I suppose I'm no exception."

"This farewell may last for many years, Master, please take care!" Li Cheng bowed deeply, suppressing the reluctance in his heart, striving to remain composed.

A lifespan of a hundred billion years for a Divine Emperor was not true immortality for Wu Ya, let alone repeated reincarnations.

Wu Ya left with a smile, his departure exuding an indescribable ease.

As Li Cheng rose to his feet, his Master had already vanished.

Staring at the spot where his Master disappeared, Li Cheng let out a sigh and murmured, "Is there really such a thing as immortality?"
