Remould the Glory of Sword Art

"Ming San invited you to join the dinner?"

An hour later, in a secluded inn in Giant Martial City, Xie Xuanyi and Cui Zhen completed their meeting.

Cui Zhen also changed his appearance.

He knew well that his appearance was too attention-catching, so he used some magic to make his features appear more "ordinary." However, Cui Zhen was still somewhat concerned about his image and didn’t turn himself into a grotesque figure like Xie Xuanyi did, only transforming into a typical unremarkable passerby.

Cui Zhen frowned.

He had just been busy all day and had gained nothing.

Over the years, Cui Zhen had spent quite an effort laying secret lines in the major sacred lands of the Demon Country.

The Iron Order from Mountain on the Mountain was obtained from the Dark Child.

For this birthday banquet, notable figures would be invited into Great Saint Mountain, which is the Third Realm... Cui Zhen had gone through many hardships for invitations to this Third Realm. The Dark Child he nurtured were either of too low status with insufficient authority, or too high in rank and closely watched.

The best option now was to directly buy invitations to Great Saint Mountain through black market channels.

After going around for a whole day.

Cui Zhen sought various connections in Giant Martial City, ultimately finding none reliable.

Although the birthday celebration was sudden, Great Ape Mountain had made quite thorough preparations, and outsiders were not qualified to enter Great Saint Mountain. Those Great Demons eligible to receive invitations regarded them as a significant honor.

Cui Zhen was truly surprised.

Xie Xuanyi had been out for a casual stroll and unexpectedly gained more than him.

"How..."

Xie Xuanyi sat in his wheelchair, temporarily removing the grotesque Mask of All Living Beings: "Who is this Netherworld Third Young Master?"

"Nether Sea Venerable has three sons."

"Ming San is the youngest son of Nether Sea."

Cui Zhen took out a dossier from the Grotto Heaven within his sleeve and tossed it to Xie Xuanyi.

"Tsk."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled lightly.

Truly a case of searching high and low, only to find it without much effort.

He flipped through the dossier; Cui Zhen had sorted through intelligence on various important figures of Great Ape Mountain during his meeting with the Dark Child today.

Inside the dossier, the significant figures of Great Ape Mountain Sacred Land were marked quite clearly.

Rank, status, and hierarchy were all readily apparent.

The Holy Emperor remained secluded.

The individuals with the highest status within Great Saint Mountain were naturally those Venerables.

Ranking first, of course, was the "Saint Prince."

But in reality... The Saint Prince was too young; currently, the true power holder of Great Ape Mountain should be the Holy Emperor’s brother, Nether Sea Venerable.

Nether Sea kept a remarkably low profile and rarely showed himself, but his cultivation talent was incredibly strong.

He had been concealing his strength and biding his time for all these years.

His cultivation might have already reached the Yang God Seventh Realm.

Next was Ling Chenzi.

The Battle of Poison concluded.

The Great Cultivators who once betrayed Great Chu were all killed by Zhao Chunyang...

The only survivor was Ling Chenzi.

This former Daoist Great True Man who defected from Chu Country settled in Great Ape Mountain, becoming a "half-human, half-demon" being. Ling Chenzi had refrained from acting for a long time, but it didn’t affect his status in Great Ape Mountain. After all, he was an equal match with Chong Kan.

Unless there’s an exception, he is at least a super strong being of the Yang God Seventh Layer Heaven.

The Demon Country respects strength.

Great Ape Mountain is especially so.

Although Ling Chenzi is a Human Race Cultivator, his strength is formidable, hence he holds a significant position within Great Ape Mountain.

Following that are the Mountain Shifting and Sea Overturning, along with Primordial Saint...

The identities and statuses of these Venerables influence their disciples and offspring.

"Considering this, the Netherworld Third Young Master is quite a remarkable aristocrat."

Xie Xuanyi finished reading the dossier, somewhat surprised.

It can be said.

The Netherworld Third Young Master is the most powerful young Great Demon of Great Ape Mountain.

His father is Nether Sea!

"Of course."

Cui Zhen clasped his hands behind his back and smiled helplessly: "Your luck is indeed remarkable... My ’Dark Child’ can only reach some peripheral figures, spending the whole afternoon in Giant Martial City to no avail."

"Unexpected that there’s something you couldn’t accomplish."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled lightly: "But what about your high-level secret line within Great Ape Mountain? To obtain invitation cards for the Third Realm, contacting the lower-level Dark Child might be quite difficult for them?"

"They are being watched."

Cui Zhen didn’t hide anything.

He shrugged, confessed: "Currently at Great Ape Mountain, the high-level state is quite tense. Each invitation sent for this birthday banquet would be traced to its source. The ’Dark Child’ I placed in the Third Realm is extremely important, and I am reluctant to lose a loyal..."

"Friend?"

Xie Xuanyi interjected.

"Reluctantly... maybe."

Cui Zhen hesitated briefly but surprisingly agreed.

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.

This was indeed an unexpected response.

Who would have thought this guy actually has "friends" within Great Ape Mountain?

"If this contact goes smoothly, could we possibly leverage Ming San... to force Nether Sea Venerable out of the Third Realm?"

Ao Ying listened for a while and couldn’t help but speak.

"Kidnapping?"

Xie Xuanyi showed interest upon hearing it.

"That won’t work."

Cui Zhen immediately shook his head: "Nether Sea Venerable is indifferent to such sentiments."

"Hmm?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned.

"Thirty years ago, the Netherworld Third Young Master wasn’t born yet."

Cui Zhen said: "Nether Sea Venerable’s other two sons traveled south and encountered Human Race Cultivators... A fierce battle broke out near Demon Country. The fight was brutal, both sides crushed their Communication Jade Tokens, but Human Race Great Cultivators arrived, yet Nether Sea Venerable showed no intention to come out."

"Ultimately..."

"Nether Sea’s two sons were slain by Human Race Great Cultivators."

Cui Zhen paused briefly.

"Given Nether Sea’s power, if he wanted to save them, he would have arrived faster than the Human Race Great Cultivators!"

"In the end, he was completely indifferent to it!"

"Therefore, the kidnapping of the Netherworld Third Young Master won’t achieve anything..."

Cui Zhen said sarcastically: "This guy doesn’t care whether his offspring survive. If the Netherworld Third Young Master dies, he’ll probably just regenerate another one..."

"..."

Ao Ying and Xie Xuanyi both fell silent.

The Demon Country values bloodlines and inheritance.

Though Nether Sea is an exception.

"Nonetheless, knowing Ming San will be helpful. If Nether Sea doesn’t care about inheritance, he wouldn’t have regenerated a ’Ming San’... This guy should know some of Nether Sea’s secrets, and in the worst-case scenario, with this guy’s authority, obtaining an invitation to Great Saint Mountain should be no problem."

Cui Zhen rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Suddenly.

He changed the subject and asked worriedly: "By the way, how will you resolve your identity issue?"

Xie Xuanyi had fabricated the identity of a disciple of Chi Fu Dragon Lord.

This deceit was indeed too radical.

If exposed.

The carefully planned scheme to fish in troubled waters might collapse entirely.

"No need to worry about that."

Xie Xuanyi smiled, and said: "As I see it, the identity issue... has never been a problem."
