Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 390: Chapter 276: Negotiating Again, The Spiritual Talismans’ Convergence and Impending Chaos (Part 2)

No matter how strong Yi Beidou is, could he really be Celestial Monarch Level?

And so what if he has? The Five Divine Sealing Veins possess an immense heritage. We have more than just one Celestial Monarch Level expert.

"Have Hua Yuanhang take a team and try negotiating with Donghua’s Martial Artists again." freeweɓnovel.cøm

The elderly gentleman made the final decision. The others raised their hands in agreement, and the matter was settled.

"And the Starry Sky Country? How are things on that front?"

The young Asian man asked Carlos.

"Well... from what we’ve gathered so far, the negotiations aren’t going smoothly. Their most important figure, Devi, is nowhere to be found. We’re still trying to make contact."

"Without him, the negotiations are at a complete standstill."

Carlos said, shaking his head. freёwebnovel.com

The team they sent had already made contact with the Martial Artists of the Starry Sky Country, but Devi had simply vanished into thin air since the battle at the port. Even his own people didn’t know his whereabouts.

"Is that so?"

Everyone frowned slightly. They hadn’t expected things to go so poorly on both fronts.

「Just then.」

France, within the Louvre Palace.

A young man in casual clothes stood with his hands in his pockets, admiring the various works of art within.

He was over two meters tall, with blond hair, blue eyes, and features as handsome as the Sun God. The powerful aura he naturally radiated set him in stark contrast to the surrounding tourists, making him stand out from the crowd.

Yet, the crowd around him seemed to turn a blind eye, actively ignoring his presence.

"I’ve finally found you, Devi."

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded beside Devi, and his expression shifted slightly.

He didn’t look to his side. Instead, he lowered his head to look at the ground.

He could feel it—the earth itself was speaking to him.

"You’ve improved, Yuri. Even with the Token I left behind, finding me and approaching me so silently is no easy feat."

Devi remarked calmly, having already guessed the identity of the one who had found him.

The only one who could converse with him in such a manner was the Earth Giant God Yuri.

Then, as if tracing the connection back to its source, he pinpointed Yuri’s location and looked in a specific direction.

"Hmm, let me see... three kilometers to the west, in the Greening Forest of a park... but for the great Earth Giant God to be lying on the ground talking to the dirt—that’s not a very graceful pose. You still need more practice."

A slight smile played on Devi’s lips.

The Earth: "..."

"Alright, out with it. Why were you looking for me?"

Devi continued.

"A group called the God-Sealing Organization is trying to contact us... On top of that, some other hidden powers have secretly extended olive branches."

Yuri relayed the current situation to Devi.

"You all can handle those matters. I don’t need intelligence, nor do I need to cooperate. My eyes can see the entire Mediterranean Sea; wherever a conflict erupts, I can ’see’ it."

Devi said calmly.

"Is that so? I understand."

The voice from the earth came once more, then quickly fell silent.

Yuri didn’t say anything more or try to dissuade him. He knew Devi’s personality well. Once Devi made a decision, there was no point in trying to change his mind, because he never would.

He only needed to know what Devi had decided.

’Still forming factions and making alliances... It seems the real show won’t be starting for a while. Hmm... I’ll just have to be patient. Only by constantly suppressing this urge to fight will the eventual explosion be all the more glorious.’

Devi muttered to himself, his gaze returning to the painting before him.

「Meanwhile.」

Yi Beidou and his group had already brought Zeno back to the manor.

"How did it go? It looked like you managed to get quite a bit of information."

Zhou Qingchen asked Ding Huiyuan the moment they sat down.

"I did learn a few things. It’s mostly basic intelligence, but some of it is quite surprising."

"First, about the ’Spiritual Talisman’—the main prize in this conflict. The intelligence I’ve gathered indicates there are twelve of them in total. And it seems the Spiritual Talisman isn’t a tangible object, but a peculiar, ethereal Divine Object, possibly formed from a sort of indestructible magnetic field. It can be hidden inside a living being. So, if we kill any members of a Secret Organization, we can’t just search their bodies. We must carefully check for any strange, residual magnetic fields inside them. That could be an incredible treasure."

Ding Huiyuan nodded and, without delay, began to share the intelligence he had gathered.

’An ethereal object? An indestructible magnetic field?’

Everyone was taken aback. They’d had no idea such a treasure existed. This was a crucial piece of information.

"Then there’s some basic knowledge about the Hidden Realm. The secret organizations composed of reincarnated beings, like the Corpse Dissolving Immortals, are enemies with the God-Sealing Organization, which is composed of Divine Sealers. They have been secretly fighting and balancing each other for an incredibly long time."

"The ultimate goal of the Corpse Dissolving Immortals and their kind is to achieve the physical immortality of the Earth Immortal Realm. The God-Sealing Organization’s goal is the exact opposite. Their ultimate aim seems to be the destruction of the Secret of the Earth Immortal. What’s even stranger is that to follow this path of Cultivation, one must be bound by a strict Oath."

Ding Huiyuan said in a grave voice.

Hearing this, the group was even more surprised. Even Yi Beidou frowned slightly.

According to Cheng Zhihong, their organization’s purpose was to prevent the Hidden Realm from influencing the mundane world, but now it seemed he hadn’t been telling the truth.

’But why?’

’The Secret of the Earth Immortal, the Undying Power... who wouldn’t want to possess them? Why would the God-Sealing Organization try to stamp them out?’

’There must be a huge secret hidden in all of this.’

Numerous speculations were already running through their minds.

"Currently, across the entire Hidden Realm, not counting the smaller groups, there are a total of seven major Secret Organizations with true scale and powerful foundations."

"In Europe, across both Eastern and Western Europe, there are two large Secret Organizations: the Judicial Court and the Illuminati."

"In West Asia, Egypt, and parts of Africa, there is a Secret Organization called the Abyss Court."

"In our region, East and Southeast Asia, the dominant Secret Organization was once called ’All the Sons.’ However, it seems to have undergone a major upheaval that led to massive changes in its membership and structure. It became a more loosely-affiliated organization, and its power declined sharply. This has allowed other Secret Organizations to heavily infiltrate East Asia. Even the founding of the Pioneer Organization seems to be closely related to the past turmoil within ’All the Sons.’"

"In North and South America, the largest Secret Organization is one we’re all familiar with: the Pioneer Organization. They are the most recently established, formed by absorbing several disparate secret organizations across the Americas, but they have shown the most rapid growth in recent years."

"The regions of Central Asia and South Asia are the territory of a Secret Organization called Secret Technique Heaven."

"Finally, in Australia, there is another Secret Organization called the Original Vein. This group is highly mysterious and doesn’t seem very active. Even within the Hidden Realm, they’re known for being incredibly elusive, like a divine dragon that shows its head but never its tail."

Ding Huiyuan had yet another important piece of intelligence to share.

’Seven major Secret Organizations across the world!’

This might be basic information in the Hidden World, but for Yi Beidou and his group, it painted a complete map of the world’s hidden power structure!

The tentacles of these Secret Organizations reached into every corner of the world, operating from the shadows!

"Next is the God-Sealing Organization. These people seem to be connected by bloodline, using a miraculous system to obtain a Fruit Position through special entities known as the ’Ancestor Realm.’ There are currently five such God-Sealing Organizations in the world, which they refer to as the Five Divine Sealing Veins. They are the organizations with the designations ’Dark Vine,’ ’Nightingale,’ ’Ouroboros,’ ’Two-headed Bird,’ and ’Giant Stone Surface,’ and they are likewise distributed across various regions of the world."

"These Secret Organizations are likely the opponents we’ll be facing from now on."

Ding Huiyuan concluded, having shared some basic intelligence about the God-Sealing Organization.

The Seven Great Secret Organizations and the Five Divine Sealing Veins seemed to form the fundamental framework of the world’s secret organizations.

"One more thing is worth mentioning. I dug up a crucial piece of intelligence: the Ancient Ones we know of might not be considered the top-tier experts within the Secret Organizations. There are even stronger beings above them, apparently called the ’Sleepers.’"

"The equivalent on the side of the Five Divine Sealing Veins are the experts known as ’Celestial Monarchs.’"

Ding Huiyuan concluded, his expression grave and his voice low.
