Chapter 993: The Universe’s Greatest Villain Family

A short while later.

The Ji Clan Ancestral Hall.

Ji Yuntian carefully carried a thick golden book out of the Family's ancestral hall. With a solemn expression, he presented it before Qi Yuan and said:

"Holy Son, our Ji Clan has a long Legacy and a flourishing population. Furthermore, ancestors of past generations placed great importance on the matter of clan heritage. Consequently, the genealogy left behind is extremely detailed, even traceable back to the Primordial Era of antiquity."

"This genealogy book is the original copy cherished by the clan. Please have a look…"

At this moment, this Ji Clan Head's expression was exceptionally humble and respectful, maintaining a very low posture without a hint of the air of a Demonic Path Magnate or a great clan leader.

Long before ascending to the position of Saint, this person was already the undisputed Dominator of the Demonic Sect. Now that he had transformed into a True Immortal, he was even more untouchable.

Even though Ji Yuntian considered himself on good terms with this descended True Immortal, he was still trembling with fear, not daring to be even slightly negligent.

Fufeng Ji Clan!

Looking at the four ancient seal script characters on the cover of the genealogy, Qi Yuan's eyes narrowed as he became increasingly certain of his thoughts.

The two characters for "Fufeng" clearly represented the Fufeng Tribe, and Ji Fan happened to be the orphan of the Fufeng Tribe.

With that thought, he reached out and took the genealogy under Ji Yuntian's extremely reverent gaze, quickly flipping to the first page:

"The First Ancestor, taboo name Fan, was born in the year 861 of the Primordial Calendar. In his youth, he encountered a great misfortune when his tribe was destroyed by enemies. Later, he wandered the wilderness and happened upon a benefactor, from whom he received the method of cultivation…"

Seeing this line of small characters, Qi Yuan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Although he had expected this, he still felt a sense of daze.

It really was Ji Fan!

This meant that the space-time error caused by a copy of the "True Scripture of the Great Beginning Demonic Path" truly existed, and this error had never been repaired by the Heavenly Dao.

Since breaking through to the True Immortal Realm, Qi Yuan's understanding and perception of the Heavenly Dao's operation had deepened, and he had faintly realized where the problem lay.

The purpose of the Heavenly Dao's existence is to maintain the balance of the Universe's space-time and eliminate any unstable factors that might lead to the disorder of the Great Dao.

Simply put, if the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms are treated as a computer System, the Heavenly Dao is the antivirus software responsible for fixing bugs and cleaning viruses, with the goal of keeping the System running smoothly forever.

Anything that interferes with the operation of the world line will be met with the merciless strike of the Heavenly Dao, which is Heavenly Punishment.

But from the moment the System "bound the wrong person," a certain someone had completely derailed the world line of the Yunmeng Great World, and not just by a little bit.

Normally, based solely on the things Qi Yuan did to disrupt the heavenly laws before his Ascension, he would have long since been blasted into nothingness by the Heavenly Dao upon detecting the anomaly.

As it turned out, not only did he not receive any Heavenly Punishment, but he also blazed a trail, transforming the originally disaster-prone Yunmeng Great World into a flourishing and peaceful era.

The only slight discomfort was that the power of the Heavenly Tribulation during his tribulation was significantly stronger than that of ordinary Cultivators, but it wasn't too outrageous and could barely be considered a form of tempering.

This… was the strangest part!

An epic, massive bug had appeared in the Yunmeng Great World, yet the Heavenly Dao, which was nearly omniscient and omnipotent elsewhere, seemed to be blind to it, remaining indifferent and essentially slacking off.

What Qi Yuan found even harder to understand was that he had also done many earth-shattering things during the Primordial Era, forging countless karmic ties and profoundly changing the timeline, yet he still wasn't targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, Immortal Emperor Donghua had claimed the credit for himself, asserting that he had helped shield Qi Yuan from the Heavenly Dao's attention. Now, it seemed that was not the case…

After all, Immortal Emperor Donghua had long since left this space-time, yet the many bugs caused by This person Qi still hadn't been fixed by the Heavenly Dao. Even the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus had been completely transformed into the World-Purifying White Lotus. The pattern within this was already very obvious…

"Could it be… the true source of the bug isn't the Yunmeng Great World, but… myself?!"

Not long ago, Qi Yuan still believed that the reason problems occurred in the Yunmeng Great World was because Chu Xueqian had performed a forbidden technique that subverted the heavenly laws in this world, causing this Lower Realm to break away from the Heavenly Dao on some level.

However, thinking back carefully, this reason was clearly insufficient to explain all the anomalies.

But if he changed his perspective and the real problem lay within himself, then most of the incomprehensible points could be explained.

Does this mean that the target of Chu Xueqian's forbidden technique wasn't the enemies chasing her at all, but…"

On the other side, seeing a certain someone's uncertain expression and pensive look, Ji Yuntian didn't even dare to breathe loudly, fearing he might disturb the other's thoughts.

After being stunned for a good while, Qi Yuan finally came back to his senses. He casually handed the Ji Clan genealogy back and said with a smile to the nearby Ji Yuntian:

"Clan Leader Ji, your Family's First Ancestor is now a Daluo Immortal Lord in the Immortal Realm. If there's an opportunity, I'll take you to pay him a visit, so you won't be without someone to back you up if you're bullied in the future."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Ji Yuntian was first stunned, then he looked at Qi Yuan with a face full of shock. After confirming that the other was not joking, his old face immediately flushed with excitement, and he said in ecstasy:

"Thank you for your generosity in informing me, Holy Son! I didn't expect that our Old Ancestor would already hold a Daluo immortal seat. This Ji doesn't dare to hope for anything else; if there's truly a chance to see the old man once, I would die with no regrets!"

Suddenly hearing the good news, even a ruthless Demonic Path overlord like Ji Yuntian couldn't help but lose his composure from joy.

Their own ancestor becoming a Daluo Immortal Lord in the Immortal Realm was a piece of good news that the Ji Clan of the Demonic Sect wouldn't have dared to dream of; it was enough to brag about for a lifetime in front of other families.

At this time, Qi Yuan added another sentence with a smile:

"Although your ancestor Cultivates a Demonic Technique, he is a well-known virtuous gentleman in the Immortal Realm who detests seeing his juniors act recklessly. When the time comes, I advise you to restrain yourself and not publicize the fact that you're involved in the Demonic Path."

This branch of the Ji Clan, as an old-brand Demonic Path Family, might not be called utterly vicious or monstrously sinful, but they certainly had a notorious reputation and a spotted record. If things were truly laid out, Ji Fan would probably purge the clan in a matter of minutes.

It couldn't be helped; the reason the Ji Clan chose to walk the dark path was that the Cultivation Technique left by their ancestor was a Demonic Technique. If they didn't walk the dark path, were they supposed to switch to the Righteous Path?

It could be imagined that most of Ji Fan's descendants scattered across other great worlds also belonged to the Demonic Path faction, making them the Universe's greatest villain Family…

Of course, all of this had to be blamed on the fellow who bestowed the "True Scripture of the Great Beginning Demonic Path" upon the Ji Clan ancestor. Had it been a Righteous Path technique, the public security of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms would likely be much better.

Although he didn't clearly understand the deep meaning in the other's words, Ji Yuntian still didn't dare to be negligent, nodding repeatedly in agreement with an extremely respectful expression:

"This Subordinate will strictly follow your teachings, Holy Son!"
