Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 2067 - 2067 2057 The Future

2067: Chapter 2057: The Future 2067: Chapter 2057: The Future The voice carried an arrogance that made Long Yan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Now, within this star domain, anyone who wanted to kill Long Yan would need to weigh their options carefully.

Long Yan had received Zhuge Wuhou’s legacy, causing all aspects of his combat power to soar dramatically.

“Heh, even with that old geezer Wuhou’s tricks, they’re useless.”

As if seeing through Long Yan’s mind, the person behind the screen spoke out.

A figure slowly emerged from behind the screen, each step taken as if stepping on Long Yan’s heart — an exceedingly handsome man emerged.

Yes, handsome.

Long Yan thought that if this face belonged to a woman, she would no doubt be ravishing and could certainly rival Lingxi at his side.

However, the Adam’s apple protruding above the throat was indeed a mood-killer.

“Who are you?”

Long Yan asked with a hint of caution, only to be met with a light chuckle from the other side, a laugh that felt as refreshing as a spring breeze.

“I am White Tiger.”

The man’s revelation gave Long Yan a severe shock, knowing well that he also bore the legacy of the Azure Dragon.

At the level of sacred beasts, White Tiger could easily kill Long Yan with hardly any effort.

“Don’t worry, at least for now, I have no reason to take action against you.”

White Tiger took a seat next to a table, lifted a teacup for a sip, then with a master’s poise, he gestured for everyone to take their seats.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do; Long Yan nonchalantly took his seat next to the table.

The being in front of him could obliterate him in an instant, and caution probably wouldn’t be of any use.

White Tiger looked at Long Yan with a gaze of admiration; he really did have guts.

At least for now, White Tiger found himself quite fond of Long Yan.

But further scrutiny was needed, as the matters of the future were no child’s play.

At this thought, White Tiger’s gaze became profound.

Long Yan looked at his handsome face, unsure of what to say.

“Do you know of the Demon Clan?”

White Tiger’s tone was somewhat hesitant, but he revealed a bit to Long Yan nonetheless.

White Tiger’s words made Long Yan straighten up.

Within the Immortal Path there are minor planes, above the planes there are larger ones, and above that are star domains, beyond which exists the Holy Domain – both the beginning and the end of the Immortal Path.

One step further is the Supreme Realm.

Although it’s the final stage, this phase causes many strong ones to hesitate and turn back.

In ancient times, there was a distinction between the Chan Education and Jie Education among the Three Pure Ones and Master Hong Tian — Chan Education stipulated that only humans could achieve the Immortal Path, while the teaching of Jie Education was that all beings, even grass and trees, could step onto the Immortal Path, even a table or a bench.

In this world, most were cultivators of the Chan Education.

The Demon Clan, however, belonged to the Jie Education cultivators.

The origins of the Demon Clan’s emergence are untraceable, it is only known that since Ancient Times they appeared in this world.

Their nature was beastly, committing arson, murder, and looting without restraint.

At that time, the cultivators fearlessly engaged in battle with the Demon Clan.

Although they emerged victorious, it was a pyrrhic victory – for every ten cultivators, only one survived.

In the process, many exquisite cultivation techniques were lost, including those of Zhuge Wuhou.

But the matter did not end there.

Every once in a while, the Demon Clan would break their seals and head to this world, and all the cultivators would unite once again to resist the Demon Clan.

This is the Demon Clan, and now that White Tiger was asking Long Yan such a question, it couldn’t help but send Long Yan’s thoughts into an endless whirl.

White Tiger could obviously see what was on Long Yan’s mind, but he did not retract what he had said before.

Instead, he simply waited quietly for Long Yan’s response.

“I know, there shouldn’t be anyone in this world who doesn’t know about the Demon Clan, right?”

Long Yan had certainly heard about the Demon Clan before, but the Demon Clan had not appeared for nearly a thousand years, and everyone thought that the Demon Clan could not break through the seal this time.

The stories of the Demon Clan were now used by people of the present day to hush crying children.

“What if I said that the Demon Clan would come back?”

The words of White Tiger plunged everyone into a deep silence.

The Demon Clan coming back?

If it had been from anyone else’s mouth, Long Yan would have thought it was just a joke.

But he could see from White Tiger’s eyes that his words were not said in jest—his face was more serious than ever before.

“But they haven’t appeared for nearly a thousand years.”

Long Yan swallowed, feeling a dryness in his throat.

The topic was too heavy.

The idea that the Demon Clan, which had not appeared for a thousand years, would return to the earth was indeed unthinkable to Long Yan.

White Tiger silently sighed in his heart.

He knew he would get this kind of reaction.

Time was the most frightening thing; it could grind down anything.

Now, the cultivators were only fighting amongst themselves or living comfortably under the protection of their sects, like flowers in a greenhouse.

This was different from the cultivators of ancient times.

At the same time, White Tiger made a silent decision in his heart.

He decided to tell Long Yan everything.

“To speak of this matter, we need to start from the last great battle.”

White Tiger’s voice started to become repressed as he began to tell Long Yan and the other two some stories that were unknown to the public.

The last Human-Demon War could be said to be extremely tragic.

At that time, nearly all the cultivators above the realm of Divine Emperor died.

There were even several supreme beings who perished together with the top strong ones of the Demon Clan.

In the end, it was a great power who miraculously survived that, at the cost of his life, sealed the Demon Clan back into a different world.

After that, every Demon Clan invasion turned the human world into something akin to purgatory.

Tales both heartbreaking and heroic came from White Tiger’s mouth, regardless of the time.

Faced with external threats, humans would unite like never before.

The war reached a point where even many of the Sacred Beasts hidden in the world started to pass on their legacies to humans.

The cultivation world could be said to have reached its most glorious era in history.

Still, the strength of the Demon Clan was beyond everyone’s imagination.

But, unexpectedly, humans united once again and repelled the Demon Clan.

What followed seemed like a never-ending cycle where the Human Clan continued to seal the Demon Clan, up to the present.

“Until now, the Demon Clan hasn’t appeared for a thousand years.”

“But!”

White Tiger’s voice suddenly took a turn.

“In the not too distant future, there will be an unprecedented massive invasion by the Demon Clan, and according to Zhuge’s reasoning, this time the humans will face extinction.”

Today’s cultivation world was not like it once was.

If the Demon Clan invaded, it would be a fatal blow to humans.

But to say extermination was a bit unfathomable.

“Zhuge’s reasoning has never been wrong, but this time, there’s an unforeseen variable.

Of course, don’t harbor any false hopes—there’s only a one in ten chance of the human race surviving.”

White Tiger’s handsome eyes turned towards Long Yan.

The one before him was that unforeseen variable, and all the challenges along the way had been set for him.

“Now you have an additional test, whether you can lead the human race towards the future.”
