"Master, this seems to be... the peerless ancient scripture created by the Human Emperor!"
Ye Lingxue's voice trembled as she spoke.
If this scripture was real, its value would be immeasurable!
"Don't rush, let's take a closer look."
Xue Ruyan, though shaken, forced herself to suppress her emotions. She turned her attention to the ancient scroll in Ye Lingxue's hands.
Once she looked at it, she couldn't tear her gaze away.
The characters on the scroll, shining like stars, seemed to possess an unmatched magical power that drew Xue Ruyan's attention.
Each word felt as if it was expounding the profound truths of the heavens and earth.
It was as though the laws of the universe were playing a melody in her ears, leaving her with a feeling of enlightenment.
After a long while, Xue Ruyan finally pulled her gaze away from the scroll.
She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with awe and shock. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke,
"Lingxue, this... this is truly the legacy left by the supreme Empress!"
Xue Ruyan hadn't even finished reading the scroll.
But just from glancing at part of it, she already knew that this scripture must have come from the great Empress.
Only someone who had reached an unimaginable level of cultivation could have created such a profound and mysterious text.
"Destiny, such great destiny..."
Xue Ruyan muttered to herself, deeply moved.
This was the legacy of a former supreme Empress!
For cultivators, what was most important?
Godly weapons and treasures were important, yes.
But the most important thing was to have a scripture to cultivate from, one that could expound the myriad paths of the world!
"Master, take this scripture. If you practice it, you will definitely reach new heights in cultivation. At the very least, our Ice Snow Sect will no longer be oppressed by the Illusory Destruction Palace!"
Ye Lingxue resolutely handed the scroll to Xue Ruyan.
But Xue Ruyan shook her head, not accepting the scroll. Instead, she smiled warmly at her disciple,
"Lingxue, this destiny is not mine, it's yours."
"Master...?"
Ye Lingxue was confused, unsure of what her master meant.
"I've already glanced through this scripture. It is a cultivation text, detailing the path from the Blood Condensing Realm to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
My cultivation level has already surpassed the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. While this scripture would still be helpful to me, it will have the greatest effect in your hands."
Xue Ruyan smiled and continued,
"Moreover, Lingxue, this scripture is truly tailored for you. Didn't you say your talent was lacking?
If you can practice this supreme Empress's ancient scripture, you might one day walk the same path she did!"
Xue Ruyan's voice carried a tinge of emotion.
This scripture was indeed crafted specifically for Ye Lingxue.
Ye Lingxue's talent may not be extraordinary, but this ancient scripture would be her best opportunity!
"Me...?"
Ye Lingxue murmured to herself, holding the scroll.
"Lingxue, this scripture is perfectly suited for you. But you must understand, if you choose to cultivate it, you'll be walking a path where the whole world may become your enemy!"
Xue Ruyan's expression became serious as she spoke solemnly.
What path did the Empress take?
The murals in the corridor earlier had already made it clear.
It was a difficult path of battling the heavens, fighting against the earth, struggling with the myriad races, and even battling oneself!
It could be described as a road to ruin!
To cultivate this scripture, one would need to shed the blood of countless young elites from all the races to bear its fruits.
Once on this road, one of two fates awaited: either one would, like the Empress, march forward unimpeded, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of power,
Or they would perish halfway, fading away in obscurity.
There was no third option!
"A road where the whole world becomes your enemy?"
Ye Lingxue muttered, her eyes brightening and her expression becoming resolute.
"Even if it's such a road, I have no fear!
Although my talent is not great, since the day I began my cultivation, I've never ceased striving!
I am harsh on myself because I want to change the current situation of the human race!
Even though I know the hope is so small, I refuse to give up!
I want to grow stronger,
To protect myself,
To protect my family,
To protect the brothers and sisters of the Ice Snow Sect,
To protect the countless human lives across the world!
I want the human race to walk proudly in this vast world!
I want the human race to be like dragons, standing tall among the myriad races, ruling the world!
For this goal, even if I have to become an enemy to the entire world, I am unafraid!
If I fail, then I will die on this path, and I will have no regrets!"
Ye Lingxue's voice was soft, even somewhat calm,
But her tone was unwavering, filled with determination.
To become stronger, to protect the people around her, and to protect the human race—this was Ye Lingxue's belief in cultivation!
For this, she would not hesitate to face the entire world as her enemy!
This was her path!
Her impassioned words seemed to resonate with the ancient scroll in her hands.
The characters, shining like stars, leaped out of the scroll and imprinted themselves firmly in Ye Lingxue's mind.
At that moment,
Ye Lingxue seemed to have received some kind of recognition,
And truly gained the qualification to practice the Devouring Heaven Magic Art!
The Devouring Heaven Magic Art?
Even if it was a demonic art, so what?
A faint smile appeared on Ye Lingxue's lips, as if she had understood why the Empress, the supreme Human Emperor, had named her peerless ancient scripture this way.
The Empress practiced her cultivation to reach the utmost power, not for herself, but to wait for someone in the mortal realm.
But in doing so, she also fulfilled her mission to protect the human race.
"If I must be a demon, then let me be a demon who guards the human race!"
To protect the human race, what does it matter if I become a demon?
