Chapter 437 King Calm Sea’s Memory

Meng Chuan and company watched from the side. Li Guan carefully read through the manuals.

“Three Creation-level techniques. The last one is half an Imperial Lord-level technique.” After Li Guan finished reading, he picked out two books. “This Creation-level technique, the Four Absolutes Sword, is related to the Imperial Lord-level technique-Time Saber. Furthermore, it contains a so-called Meditation Technique. The Four Absolutes Sword has a foundational section on the meditation technique. The Time Saber also has the follow-up of the meditation technique... I suspect that your split consciousness should be related to this meditation technique.”

Li Guan was, after all, at the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm. His eyes were much sharper.

“I didn’t cultivate the second half of the technique,” said King Calm Sea, “because I obtained an even stronger legacy in Star Cluster Building. The demons sent over this half of the Imperial Lord-level technique afterward.”

Li Guan nodded slightly. As he had expected... King Calm Sea wouldn’t have been exposed so early if he had cultivated the subsequent meditation technique within the Imperial Lord-level manual.

Qin Wu looked at King Calm Sea, his heart aching. “Xue Ting, Archean Mountain has long told every Godfiend about the demons’ ill intentions. You can’t believe their promises, ever. The treasures they give might be poison. The ultimate techniques they give might contain huge flaws.” “Yes, that’s been said before, but how many Godfiends in the world believe you?” King Calm Sea said calmly. “Everyone thinks that it’s an empty threat. Furthermore, many Godfiends believe that if the treasures are poison and the ultimate techniques they give are flawed, that would imply they lacked basic credibility. If that happened, how would Godfiends be willing to continue colluding with the demons? The demons will definitely not be so short-sighted.”

“The demons won’t be so short-sighted, but you have a chance of becoming a Creation Supremacy. It’s very likely that the demons will target you.” Qin Wu frowned. “Besides, I don’t understand why you colluded with the demons.”

“Learn their ultimate techniques and make myself stronger.” King Calm Sea looked at the four people in front of him. “Then, I’ll use that strength to slay the demons. Isn’t that good? The demons are very despicable, but we can still learn their ultimate techniques.”

“If a demon’s ultimate technique contains the profundity of laws, one can gain some insights. However, some special mystic techniques can’t be cultivated if one doesn’t understand the fundamentals of the mystic technique,” said Li Guan. “Once one cultivates an unknown mystic technique, one’s path will be unknown. All the demon techniques that we have collected have been inspected by us Supremacies. What we can confirm and understand will be taught to Godfiends.”

King Calm Sea said in puzzlement, “The demons made me go crazy and slaughter humans? Although the deaths of millions of humans are tragic, it doesn’t damage humanity’s foundation in the entire war.”

“That’s because you didn’t continue cultivating the mystic technique. If you continued cultivating it, you wouldn’t have been exposed so early.” Li Guan pointed at the Imperial Lord-level ultimate technique. “I’m guessing that the demons had great plans for you. Considering how you didn’t even know about the birth of the new consciousness within your Essence Soul... it’s very likely that this special technique will eventually allow the new consciousness to devour your main consciousness and completely replace you. Furthermore, the demons should have means of controlling that consciousness.”

“If you become a Creation Supremacy and are absolutely loyal to the demons, you will pose a great threat to us humans,” said Li Guan. King Calm Sea fell silent.

Meng Chuan and company looked at King Calm Sea.

For many years, King Calm Sea had indeed contributed greatly to the human race. All his children had fought for the human race. Who knew that King Calm Sea would collude with the demons?

“You shouldn’t have colluded with the demons. Do you think it’s so easy to gain benefits from the demons?” Qin Wu looked at his disciple.

“I’ve never thought of betraying humanity.” King Calm Sea looked at the person in front of him. “I know that I, Xue Ting, have committed an unpardonable crime and deserve to be executed. However, dying like this only benefits the demons. I hope that my death will be more valuable. Allow me to atone for my sins as much as possible. All these years, in order to collude with the demons, I leaked some intelligence and caused some Godfiends to die in battle. I owe too much.”

“We don’t dare believe what you said,” said Li Guan coldly.

“We need you to make a trip to the Heart Sea Palace. We can decide how we should deal with you after that,” said Qin Wu.

King Calm Sea nodded. “Alright.”

...

With the help of the Heart Sea Palace, one could swear an inviolable oath.

The Heart Sea Palace could also be used to verify the words said by powerful Godfiends.

Hum.

King Calm Sea sat cross-legged in Heart Sea Palace as he immersed himself in its illusion control.

Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Li Guan stood by the side. The Guardian—the black-robed elder-appeared beside them. The black-robed elder said, “Now, I’ll project his memories. All of you can take a closer look.”

“Everyone, check his memories carefully. We will decide on how we shall deal with King Calm Sea afterward,” said Li Guan. Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang nodded.

Scenes and sounds began to appear above Heart Sea Palace. They were all King Calm Sea’s memories.

When King Calm Sea was a child, his hometown had been invaded by demons. His parents died instantly; he—as a child-and countless people fled in panic. A large number of demons chased after him. When the demons left, only about 30 percent of the fleeing humans had survived. As for King Calm Sea, he became a wandering beggar.

An orphaned beggar? Meng Chuan watched this scene.

Many humans had encountered demon invasions in the human world. He had encountered them before too, but his parents had protected him.

King Calm Sea had become an orphaned beggar.

Memories kept appearing in midair.

When King Calm Sea was a child, he suffered plenty of hardship as a young beggar. He experienced the darkest side of humanity.

The weather got colder. In the cold December winter, just as the young beggar was about to freeze to death, he finally became a servant of a large family clan. His life as a servant was rather difficult, but at the very least, he didn’t starve to death. He had only truly come into contact with cultivation in this large family clan...

As a lowly servant, without a good master’s guidance, all he could do was secretly cultivate and be ruthless to himself.

“He doesn’t care about mortals,” said Li Guan softly as he watched. “In his heart, mortals can’t resist the demons at all. They only know how to bully the weak. However, he still thinks highly of Godfiends. Every Godfiend’s death is heart-wrenching for him. He believes that every death is a loss of strength in the war against the demons.”

Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang nodded slightly. As they watched King Calm Sea’s growth period, all his thoughts and beliefs were revealed.

“He trusts himself the most. He’s focused on dealing with the demons,” said Qin Wu.

“He really hates the demons the most,” said Luo Tang softly. “As children of powerful Godfiends are typically very powerful, he had many wives and concubines to give him a bunch of children. His children suffered much when they were young, but he had guided them secretly. He believes that hardship and setbacks can temper their willpower.”

Meng Chuan frowned.

Yan Jin’s tragic childhood was actually planned by King Calm Sea secretly? He left a sword mark on his son but tortured Yan Jin in various ways. As for Yan Jin’s mother, she was just a tool in King Calm Sea’s eyes. She was a tool for giving birth and tempering Yan Jin. King Calm Sea didn’t care about his other family members. He only cared about his children. He was actually using this method to nurture his children. His children clearly didn’t like this method of nurturing. Even the most outstanding and most monstrous genius, Xue Feng, couldn’t understand his father.

The memories dissipated.

Meng Chuan and company looked at the controlled King Calm Sea, who was sitting cross-legged. “We are done,” said Li Guan. “Everyone, share your thoughts on how we should deal with him.”
