Chapter 805: Remnants of the Demon God

The Great Time Art is the fifth-ranked among the Three Thousand Great Paths. The higher the rank, the harder it is to learn and comprehend. It can be said that few true immortals in the Immortal Realm truly understand the Great Time Art, and those who have mastered it to a master level are probably only one or two Immortal Sovereigns.
So, how can one attain a master-level grasp of the Great Time Art? For now, Su Che can think of no way—only by waiting for an opportunity.
Lao He reminded him, “Don’t forget—the Time Wheel of the Sky-Devouring Rat can alter the flow of time. But since it belongs to an ancient demon god, who couldn’t possibly understand the Great Paths, what exactly is this ability?”
“Yes,” Su Che nodded inwardly. “This ability surely isn’t a Great Path technique. It might be the mastery of the primal power of time. Legend has it that the ancient demon god with the strongest ability in this regard was Zhuo Jiu Yin among the Twelve Ancestral Witches.”
“If Zhuo Jiu Yin could traverse time and space, could it be that he isn’t dead either?” Lao He asked.
“I don’t know. It’s hard to say.”
Su Che shook his head, not holding much hope for the primal power of time possessed by ancient demon gods. Gaining such abilities from them seemed even more elusive.
Could he possibly encounter someone like Old Granny again, obtain the body of an ancient demon god, and happen to have a talent for time as well? The odds were incredibly slim—unthinkable even. At this moment, Su Che was pondering something else.
“What if I had the ability to traverse time and space? Could it allow me to return to the past, to Caishi Town on Qi Yuan Star two thousand years ago, and rescue my family before that great disaster struck?”
“Is that possible?”
“Can things that have already happened be changed?”
Sensing his master’s thoughts, Lao He hurriedly said, “Master, we shouldn’t recklessly attempt such a thing. Remember, changing the present means changing the future; similarly, changing the past means changing the present. If you alter the past, your current self might change as well. If your original self wasn’t dead, could you still obtain the Immortal Prison and achieve what you have now? Who knows—maybe the Immortal Prison Pagoda would fall into someone else’s hands. We simply can’t afford such a risk.”
“Changing the past means changing the present…”
Su Che sighed deeply. “Yes… I can no longer give up on everything I have now. If losing the Immortal Prison meant dying, it would be better to die.”

Yet, he still thought desperately, “Is there really no way to save my loved ones without changing my current achievements? For example…” A vague idea came to mind, but Lao He interrupted him, “Master, I firmly oppose you taking such risks. This kind of thing really can’t be taken lightly. Any oversight in the details could lead to unpredictable and huge changes, and by then, it will be too late to regret it.” “Lao He, don’t worry. I’m not that stubborn.” Su Che replied in his mind, “For now, it’s just a thought. If I’m not fully confident, I really can’t try such things rashly. It might not only fail to save my loved ones but also cost me everything… I know my limits and won’t act recklessly.” After all, two thousand years had passed. Time was the best remedy; the pain in his heart had long faded, leaving only longing for his loved ones. He wouldn’t be so impulsive as to lose his reason and do something foolish or get stuck in a dead end. “Yes, Master,” Lao He said, relieved. “I believe that when you grow strong enough and truly master everything, you will surely find a way to save your loved ones. It’s just not the right time to rush things.” “Understood. Thank you for the reminder, Lao He,” Su Che nodded in his mind. At that moment, the old couple with the child came forward and expressed their sincere gratitude, and Su Che naturally returned the courtesy. Then, the old man’s husband, Ao Jun, asked, “Brother Su, are you interested in the ability to travel through time?” Although Ao Jun had lost his ability to predict the future, he could still see through many things and figure things out. “Yes,” Su Che replied. Unwilling to play any hypocritical games, he admitted frankly, “Through Brother Ao, I’ve already gained the ability to predict the future, but my ability to travel through time is still insufficient. I need a highly advanced time magic to complement it.” Ao Jun nodded calmly, seemingly unbothered by the two talents he had lost. For him, being able to be revived and reunite with his wife was already enough. He said, “I don’t know much about the great arts, but I do know which demons and gods possess the primal power of time before the punishment of heaven.” Su Che immediately understood what he meant and casually released a three-dimensional map of the Earth Immortal Realm, showing it to Ao Jun. The Earth Immortal Realm was extremely vast, so this map could only represent a general idea and couldn’t be very precise. “Here, here…”

Ao Jun marked five locations on the map and said to Su Che, “Back then, these places were the personal territories of those demon gods. But I’m not sure if they were still in their own territories when heaven’s punishment came. Brother Su can only rely on luck.”
“Thank you so much, Brother Ao.”
Su Che was overjoyed. He had just thought he shouldn’t have too many hopes for such matters, but Ao Jun had provided him with such crucial information.
If they could find the remains left behind by those ancient demon gods at these five locations on the map, they might be able to obtain their innate abilities. Even just a small piece of a demon god’s bone could be useful.
Ao Jun smiled and said, “We have no way to repay Brother Su for saving our lives, so we can only offer a small help in this matter.”
“This is extremely important to me. Thank you, Brother Ao.”
Su Che thanked him again and asked, “So, what are your plans for the future?”
The old woman replied, “We’ll settle somewhere in the Fenglin territory and live a simple life. We don’t have any other ambitions.”
Once the strongest ancient beings in the world, their only wish now was to survive.
“That’s good too,” Su Che nodded. “But the Immortal Emperor Fenglin won’t return for another two or three thousand years. You won’t be able to contact her during that time.”
Feng Lin and Zong Yi were still in the Immortal Lord’s treasure vault, milking treasures—of course, just to impress other immortal emperors. In reality, with Su Che’s secret assistance, each of them had obtained several top-grade immortal artifacts and ancient treasures.
Before parting, Su Che gave the old woman several communication talismans so that she could contact him anytime if she encountered any difficulties. After they settled down, they would also send messages to Su Che. He would surely visit them again someday.
Without further ado, they returned to the surface and bid each other farewell. Su Che opened a teleportation portal to send the old woman and her family back to the Haoyuan Heavenly Market.
There, the old woman had waited for hundreds of millions of years—she definitely wanted to take her husband to the market as well.
Su Che, using the five coordinates provided by Ao Jun, chose the nearest one and opened another teleportation portal, crossing vast distances of millions of miles in an instant…

After a dozen breaths, they arrived. However, this was only a rough location. Before the Heavenly Dao descended its punishment, this area had been the personal domain of some ancient demon god. But no one knew whether he had died within his own domain.

“How do we find him?”

Lao He was stumped. “An ancient demon god’s domain—how vast is it? Who knows where his corpse is hidden? Besides, countless years have passed. Even if a corpse remains, it’s likely to have been dug up by later immortals to be turned into magical artifacts.”

“Luck, just luck,” Su Che muttered. “For things like this, we can only rely on luck. I have no idea either.”

Swish!

Su Che teleported and used a powerful capture technique to grab a Xuanxian who was passing by in the sky and bring him before him.

“Ah?”

The Xuanxian was extremely terrified, his voice trembling. “Elder Immortal, what is the matter?”

“To which Immortal Emperor does this region belong?” Su Che asked in a deep voice.

“Imperial Emperor Lu Huang,” the Xuanxian replied hastily. “To be precise, this is Guangli Continent within Emperor Lu Huang’s domain.”

“Emperor Lu Huang?”

Su Che found this title somewhat familiar. He quickly opened the ranking list, and sure enough, Emperor Lu Huang’s name was on it. This meant he had also participated in auctions or other activities in the Immortal Sovereign’s Treasury.

This Immortal Emperor had been part of the demon race in his mortal life. His true form was a seven-colored spiritual deer, making him the leader of the spiritual deer clan. It wasn’t an exaggeration for him to call himself an emperor.

Of course, this wasn’t important. Su Che asked again, “Which celestial markets are famous within Emperor Lu Huang’s domain?”

The Xuanxian listed a long string of market names, proving he was extremely familiar with Emperor Lu Huang’s domain—he was clearly an immortal who lived there.

“Thank you.”

Su Che gave him five top-grade Immortal Crystals as payment.

“Top-grade Immortal Crystals?”

The Xuanxian was stunned. Holding the crystals, he was overjoyed.

Top-grade Immortal Crystals were the currency used at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. For a Xuanxian, this was undoubtedly a huge sum of wealth, enough to buy a quite fine treasure.

One top-grade Immortal Crystal could be exchanged for twenty thousand lower-grade Immortal Crystals, which equaled one hundred thousand lower-grade crystals. With that, fifty top-grade magical weapons could be purchased, showing just how generous Su Che was.

But this was nothing really. Su Che had already plundered the personal wealth of eight hundred Immortal Emperors. Not to mention top-grade Immortal Crystals, there were countless top-tier ones as well. No matter how much he spent, it would never run out.

A super-rich man!

The wealth in Su Che’s hands was not much less than that of a certain Immortal Lord. By obtaining an entire treasure trove left behind by the Primordial Immortal Lord, Su Che instantly became one of the richest in the immortal realm, easily ranking among the top twenty.

Next, Su Che visited various celestial markets in the Deer Emperor’s territory, searching for information related to the remnants of the Demon God. He also took the opportunity to acquire numerous living world fragments to further enrich his own Immortal Prison World.

After over two years, he had purchased thousands of such living world fragments. Finally, he learned that someone had publicly auctioned several pieces of the Demon God’s bones tens of thousands of years ago. However, it wasn’t held in the Earthly Immortal Realm but in the Cloud Immortal Realm, because the person in question was a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

So, he headed to the Cloud Immortal Realm to find him!
