Shi Que replied, “Other than Sword Sage Pei, there’s one in the Western Continent and one overseas. It’s said that there’s also one in White Emperor City, but no one has seen the person before.”

“White Emperor City?”

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul was stunned.

“Yes, the legendary White Emperor City.”

Wei Chengzhang seemed to have noticed Su Jingxing’s confusion and continued, “White Emperor City is a legend among the people, but we all know that it really exists. But, very few people can enter it. After all, White Emperor City is a rare treasure to begin with. If it doesn’t show itself, outsiders won’t be able to find its traces. Even if they do, it will be difficult for outsiders to enter without it opening its doors.”

“Not even Sword Sage Pei?” asked Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.

“I’m not sure.”

Wei Chengzhang replied calmly, “As an invincible sword, Sword Sage Pei has challenged all the experts in the world. Only he knows if he has entered White Emperor City before.”

“So, there are at least three people in the Essence Soul realm and possibly four?” Su Jingxing pondered for a moment and concluded.

“Yes.”

Yu Xiangtian continued, “Although it’s a little boastful, the threat of the Ancient Demon has always been under our control.”

“Compared to the Ancient Demons, the barbarians are our true enemy.”

Gong Junlian said in a deep voice, “According to reliable sources, there is now another Barbarian God, making a total of five!”

“The Barbarian God of the barbarians is equivalent to our Primordial Spirit.”

Wei Chengzhang continued, “The barbarians have always remained committed to annihilating the human race. A hundred years ago, they almost occupied the Western Continent. It was Sword Sage Pei who arrived in time and killed two Barbarian Gods and severely injured one. That was how the barbarians were forced to retreat to the Boundless Mountain Range.

“That’s right. Over the past hundred years, if not for the fact that they were wary of Sword Sage Pei, the barbarians would have long rushed out of the Boundless Mountain Range.” Shi Que sighed. “The cannons can threaten ordinary barbarians, but they can’t deal with the Barbarian Gods.”

“Other than the barbarians, the Queen Mother of the Extraterrestrial Devil Insects is also a huge threat.”

Yu Xiangtian thought of something and continued, “The Queen Mother has occupied a large island overseas, forming a unique territory that even Sword Sage Pei can’t enter. All these years, we’ve been trying to break in, but we’ve never been able to. According to our detailed investigation, we discovered that the territory is wrapped in a special energy. Earth Star has never seen such energy before.”

“And the Void World. I don’t know why, but the monsters in the Void World have been appearing more and more frequently over the years.” Wei Chengzhang sighed.

Ancient Demons, barbarians, Extraterrestrial Devil Insects, Void World monsters!

The threats of Earth Star…

No, to be precise, humans had always existed in the face of the threat of other lifeforms.

If ordinary people or low-level martial artists knew about these threats, they would not be able to live.

The Martial Sage realm had never been made public and existed in secret to conceal these threats.

Although there were enmity between the countries and Martial Sages would fight one another, this concerned mankind, no, humanity.

Everyone had a tacit understanding to keep the secret. If news of this got out, it would only cause chaos in the world.

Only when every country is prosperous and its people are living at peace could they continuously condense the Sage Origin Fruits and become stronger.

Su Jingxing noticed it too.

His lack of such “common knowledge” was seen through by Wei Chengzhang, Yu Xiangtian, Gong Junlian, and Shi Que.

However, the four of them did not expose him. Instead, they tacitly informed him.

No matter what their motives were, Su Jingxing put their frankness to heart.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul didn’t hide anything and asked some more questions.

As expected, Wei Chengzhang, Shi Que, and the others did not hide anything and told him everything.

As a newly advanced Martial Sage and Xia Cangxuan had dissipated too quickly, Su Jingxing was greatly lacking such concealed information.

He took this opportunity to ask everything he could.

There was nothing embarrassing about a newbie not knowing the situation.

When the questioning was almost done, Shi Que, Wei Chengzhang, and the others went offline.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul stood still and let out a breath.

Ancient Demons, barbarians, Extraterrestrial Devil Insects, Void World monsters!

These threats were indeed difficult to eliminate.

Compared to the barbarians, the three Ancient Demons in the Little Demon World were now a small matter.

Unless the Ancient Demons broke through their current realms!

If the three Ancient Demons advanced to the realm above the Primordial Spirit, they would then be a great enemy.

Su Jingxing clenched his fists.

He still had to destroy the Demon Soul Fruit Trees.

A Primordial Spirit could not pass through the Door of Darkness, and anything below that level had very slim chances of survival inside that door.

Since it concerned strengthening his physical body, Su Jingxing finally chose to shut up.

It was still the same sentence. He couldn’t explain the Demon Soul Fruit Trees, the three Ancient Demons, and the Door of Darkness.

Even if Wei Chengzhang, Gong Junlian, Shi Que, and Yu Xiangtian didn’t question Su Jingxing how he knew, there were still hidden dangers.

This concerned his biggest secret, and Su Jingxing would never reveal it until his death.

…

The threat of the Ancient Demon had been shared with the other Martial Sages.

No matter how the countries responded, Su Jingxing heaved a sigh of relief.

Next, he had to return to Dongting Mountain and relieve He Sanxiao from guarding the Demon’s Den.

Without stopping, the Blood Doppelganger rushed to the Black Flame Caves.

…

Black Flame Caves.

The Blood Doppelganger arrived again.

After his previous experience, Su Jingxing was familiar with the way and arrived at the depths in the center.

The exact number of patrolling black-armored men was unknown.

Su Jingxing wanted to extract cards, so he had to do it the stupid way and experiment with them one by one.

Of course, the test location was not the same area as the last time, but a different one.

This way, it would take a long time.

Fortunately, beneath the Demon’s Den, even though the Door of Darkness had been open all this time, no demonic creatures had come out.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul stayed below while his main body guarded the Void World. From time to time, he would comprehend about creating the martial art he wanted.

Would it be more defensive, more offensive, more mental, or more supportive?

And what attributes would it be? Fire, ice, extreme Yang, extreme Yin…

Su Jingxing had never been able to confirm.

In the Black Flame Caves.

After three days of experimentation, the Blood Doppelganger finally found a black-armored man that it had never extracted from before.

It obtained one Soul Splitting Card.

Continue, continue!

The Blood Doppelganger changed locations and continued to wait for new black-armored men.

It was lucky. The black-armored man who appeared at the second location had not been extracted from either.

The second Soul Splitting Card.

It changed locations and waited again.

This time, it was unlucky. The black-armored man had already been extracted from.

It switched places and waited again.

A black-armored man appeared. The third Soul Splitting Card was extracted.

It changed locations again and waited patiently.

In the end, after waiting for two days, no black-armored man appeared.

Su Jingxing waited patiently for two more days, but the black-armored men still did not appear.

Helpless, Su Jingxing could only change his location.

Yet, after doing so, the black-armored man that appeared had already been extracted from.

It continued to move.

This time, the appearance of a black-armored man strangely did not prompt any extraction notification.

“Has it lost its effectiveness?”

Su Jingxing’s first reaction was that his extraction ability had disappeared.

But immediately after, he thought of the second possibility.

The black-armored man he had found this time was different from the previous ones.

In other words, he wasn’t dead?!
