Chapter 1150: Chapter 726: Jiang Hui's Plan and Qin Chang Sheng Chapter 1150: Chapter 726: Jiang Hui's Plan and Qin Chang Sheng The nine-headed monster hung its head low, looking utterly foolish.
After all, either the entity behind the Dark Cage or the person before it was far beyond its capability to contend with.
In the face of both, it simply had no standing to criticize or judge.
Because either party possessed the strength to suppress it effortlessly.
As a weakling, regardless of which side it was placed on, it was just a defeated underling. Even the combined efforts of the nine Immortal Kings from the past were no match for their opponent, what basis did it have to question them?
Even if what was said was just a boast, it still emanated from a place of power.
At this thought.
The nine-headed monster couldn't help feeling a bit sentimental.
Especially the Primordial Spirit that had once established the Immortal Cultivation System, it was even more wistful.
Although the nine Primordial Spirits had merged, such a fusion was against the order and merely a deformed product, far from perfect, not even considered a success.
This led to the Primordial Spirits in the body of the nine-headed monster, although seemingly integrated, in reality, they operated independently, each head harboring its own thoughts and consciousness.
Each controlled one of the nine heads and parts of the monster's torso.
But that was inconsequential.
The crucial issue was that none of the nine heads housed a dominant consciousness, leading to conflicts of strength and weakness, especially in combat scenarios where the nine Primordial Spirits might temporarily unify, but when it came to other matters, the tug-of-war ensued.
All were once notable beings, dominating an era, and naturally, not easily swayed.
“Adult, we have once spent time in the Dark Cage, and we know the terror of that place better than anyone. The Dark Cage is actually a concrete manifestation of the Laws.
It can suppress us solely through the Power of Laws. The entity behind it might still be lurking in the shadows, possibly having touched the Emperor Realm.
If you decide to confront the entity behind the Dark Cage, caution is advised.”
Amongst the nine massive heads, a human head spoke up, issuing a reminder.
It was an elder.
His hair and beard were white as the perpetual snow in the mountains, his eyes as deep as ancient ponds.
Within his weathered visage, he exuded an awe-inspiring dignity, strong even though only his Primordial Spirit remained.
One could only imagine, before he was confined in the Dark Cage, what an extraordinary being this elder must have been…
Even now, amidst the chaos, his eyes still retained a glint of their original luster.
As the elder's voice faded, the air around seemed to thicken.
It was as if recalling the terrifying times spent in the Dark Cage, all the other eight heads shivered simultaneously, their eyes reflecting astonishment.
“If I'm not mistaken, you should be the titan who established the Immortal Ancient Method back then?”
Jiang Hui was somewhat surprised at the sudden reminder from the elder, and his gaze slowly shifted to the elder's head among the nine, his deep and lucid eyes slightly twinkling with curiosity, he spoke in an unhurried tone.
“Adult, you know of my identity?”
The elder was momentarily stunned, somewhat astonished, hardly expecting Jiang Hui to directly recognize his identity right off the bat,
Although he didn't think his identity was very secretive, still, not many knew his true identity. After all, he was ancient, born during the times of Emperor's Fall, and very few beings of this era had survived from that time, many having lost their way in The Boundary Sea or perished in the great battle of those years.
“I've said before, I'm not interested in your identities, only because I already know who you all are.”
With this statement, the astonishment on the other eight heads intensified; they had all been puzzled how this significant figure could recognize the elder immediately and now understood that he knew them too.
“Adult truly possesses vast Divine Skills!” The nine-headed monster's massive body slightly shook, emitting a flattering sound.
“You still know how to flatter, don't you?” Jiang Hui said with a laugh.
The nine-headed monster exchanged glances and let out a sycophantic chuckle.
Within its body housed nine Primordial Spirits, essentially possessing nine modes of thought, all shattered and chaotic; however, unified in their fear of death.
In the original text, upon realizing they couldn't win against Emperor Huang Tian, the nine-headed monster quickly surrendered, highlighting its alarmingly decisive nature.
Jiang Hui stopped jesting; although the monster appeared creepy and exaggerated, it actually hadn't done anything egregiously harmful.
The nine major Primordial Spirits were locked in the Dark Cage because they sought the origins of the dark turmoil. They had emerged in the ancient past, but unfortunately, their strength was limited. Full of aspirations yet lacking ability, they had failed to find the source and had instead ended up trapped within the Dark Cage.
“You should have a daughter.”
Jiang Hui's gaze returned to the elder's head.
“A daughter…?”
Upon hearing this, a fierce struggle flashed through the elder's murky eyes, and then his entire head seemed struck by a bolt of Thunder and Lightning, stunned for a moment.
Next, the elder's eyes widened, and even his normally steady breathing became rapid, like a massive bellows furiously pumping.
“Adult, how do you know… this Old One still has a daughter?”
After countless years of Degeneration, although he still retained a sliver of rationality, the extreme chaos had blurred his memories, which might have almost faded entirely had Jiang Hui not mentioned it.
