Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Shi felt as if a hundred thousand lightning bolts had exploded in his mind. To his knowledge, the Tianwu Continent only had three demigods. However, after checking the rules of the Tianwu Continent, he realized that there were five complete rules of heaven and earth in the current Tianwu Continent.

Previously, he had already eliminated the possibility that the three demigod Heavenly Kings controlled many rules of the world. This also meant that apart from these three demigod Heavenly Kings, there were also two other demigods in the Tianwu Continent.

“Who are these two demigods!?” Xiao Shi was puzzled. Logically speaking, as the strongest in the world, even if these two demigods hid, there would definitely be traces of them in the Tianwu Continent.

However, Xiao Shi didn’t have any relevant information about the two demigods. He couldn’t even find the suspect. This made him a little afraid. Originally, as his cultivation level increased, Xiao Shi believed that he had enough control and understanding of the upper echelons of the Tianwu Continent.

But now, he realized that the waters of the Tianwu Continent were far deeper than he had imagined. There were obviously some important secrets in the entire Tianwu Continent that he did not know about.

“No wonder even though my Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao has obtained the recognition of the world, it can’t transform into the rules of the world. Right now, the Tianwu Continent’s rules of heaven and earth are still intact. There’s no extra space to give birth to new rules of heaven and earth. In other words, the current Tianwu Continent will not be able to produce a demigod!”

Xiao Shi frowned. He felt that it was troublesome. The advancement of a demigod was far more difficult than he had imagined.

Even though he had comprehended the rules of heaven and earth and obtained the recognition of heaven and earth, he was still unable to advance to a demigod under the current situation where there were already five rules of heaven and earth in the Tianwu Continent.

This caused Xiao Shi to fall into a complete stalemate. He pinched his glabella. He sorted out his thoughts. “First of all, I can be sure that a demigod won’t be born for no reason. Anyone on the path to becoming a demigod will definitely leave a mark!”

Xiao Shi knew very well. Even for someone like him who hid behind the scenes, it was impossible for all the martial artists in the Tianwu Continent to not notice his existence. It was like reaching the Sage Realm. He definitely needed to refine an area.

There were only so many regions in the Tianwu Continent. It was impossible to hide it from everyone. No matter how deeply he hid it, he would definitely appear in front of the public when he reached the Sage Realm. This was a very deep mark.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, all demigods had traces to follow. It was difficult to completely hide it and not let others know. However, the strange thing was there were no domains of these two demigods in the Tianwu Continent.

Xiao Shi felt that there were only two possibilities for this situation. One was that the domains of these two demigods had been concealed by some high- level existence. As a result, no one in the Tianwu Continent could see their domains. One was that the domains of these two demigods might have been destroyed, so their domains were no longer in the Tianwu Continent.

If he wanted to know the identities of the two demigods, perhaps it could be traced back to the time before the Martial Emperor died. If he could obtain the list of demigods in the entire Tianwu Continent when the Great Wu Empire was strong, he might be able to deduce the identities of these two demigods.

Xiao Shi felt that these two demigods were most likely existences from the powerful era of the Great Wu Empire. According to the historical information he was familiar with, after the Martial Emperor died, there were only three demigod Heavenly Kings left in the entire Tianwu Continent.

If there were other demigods, they would either be like the three demigod Heavenly Kings and leave the Great Wu Empire to establish himself, or he could stay behind in the Great Wu Empire.

However, the two demigods vanished without a trace. This was also the most unusual thing.

“I wonder if the three demigod Heavenly Kings know that there are two other demigods in the Tianwu Continent? Oh… They must know! After all, as long as they observe the Tianwu Continent’s Rules of Heaven and Earth, they will be able to see the complete five Rules of Heaven and Earth. It’s naturally impossible to hide it from them. But they don’t seem to be worried that the other two demigods will pose a threat to them. Why is that?”

Xiao Shi could sense that the three demigod Heavenly Kings only treated each other as competitors. Other than that, they no longer cared about anyone in the Tianwu Continent.

Xiao Shi thought that he might find an opportunity to ask Heavenly King Yao Xi as the Palace Master later. Perhaps he could obtain some important clues from her. However, when he thought of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, he suddenly remembered that he still had the powerful treasure, the Heavenly Mystery Disc.

Among the functions of the Heavenly Mystery Disc, apart from the revelation of the heavenly secrets, the warning of the heavenly secrets, and spying on the heavenly secrets, it had an extremely powerful function—Deduction of Heavenly Secret.

In order to deduce the heavenly secrets, one had to have the cultivation of the upper three realms of the Martial Dao.

Previously, when Xiao Shi had pieced together the complete Heavenly Mystery Disc, he was only at the Sage realm. Therefore, he had never used the Heavenly Mystery Disc to deduce the heavenly secrets.

The current situation could not help but make him feel tempted. He felt that he might be able to use the Heavenly Mystery Disc to deduce the identities of the two demigods.
