Chapter 1355 - 718: Demon Race Heavenly Court 2

The three Great Divine Woods recognized by the cultivation world are, in brief, the Fusang Ancient Tree, Jianmu, and Ruomu.

Jianmu has already fallen into Jiang Shu’s hands, its greatest function being an unparalleled mastery of space, able to communicate between heaven and man, teleporting Qiankun.

As for the Fusang Ancient Tree and Ruomu, they are the places where the sun rises and sets, also symbolizing the Creation Dao and the Destruction Dao.

The Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was once extraordinarily formidable, capable of leading the entire demon race.

The hereditary clan of the imperial position in the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was the Golden Crow.

However, nowadays, it’s difficult to see the Golden Crow in the entire Demon Domain.

"That is to say..." The Sect Leader of the Hidden Sword Sect turned around, overlooking the vast ruins, speaking in a deep and low tone:

"That is to say, this place might not, or not solely, be an ancient battlefield; it is highly likely to be the place where the Heavenly Court of the demon race initially fell?"

Hearing this, many powerful individuals present fell into silence.

The site of the Heavenly Court’s fall.

They suddenly understood why these fragments are distributed across the demon domain, scattered over more than ten locations, with their positions differing.

It is likely that the three Great Divine Woods were destroyed in successive great wars, lost support, and the Heavenly Court of the demon race was directly shattered and fell.

Moreover, within the Heavenly Court of the demon race, there remain relics of various powerful demon races, thus creating different resource points.

But due to the fall of powerful entities, even including the Demon Lord, it’s extremely dangerous, leaving those powerful demon race individuals not daring to approach.

All of a sudden, the many Daoist Venerables present showed expressions of realization, as if the past puzzles were instantly connected.

Golden House Feather!

Heavenly Court of the demon race!

The three Great Divine Woods!

...

"That is to say, the Great Dao Heavenly Sound we encountered back then was caused by the fall of a certain Demon Lord during the battle of the Heavenly Court’s fall."

Jiang Shu’s eyes slightly narrowed, he was also sorting through what he had obtained, then suddenly thought of something.

Not only him, but Taiwu Daoist Venerable also recalled the key points, immediately speaking the four words.

"Heaven-Burning Ancestor."

Yes, it’s the Heaven-Burning Ancestor!

That half-crazed old Phoenix is the key to this matter.

Jiang Shu’s eyes constricted, and he spoke:

"It is said that during the peak of the Golden Crow clan’s power, among them were as many as three Demon Lords, perhaps one was cultivating the Fire Dao, and on that day when the Heaven-Burning Ancestor went mad trying to rush in, could it be..."

This is something even Golden Horn didn’t know, at this moment he raised his hand in speculation, suddenly thinking of some key point.

Hearing the deductions from the two, the Sect Leader of the Hidden Sword Sect, who was a witness on that day, spoke:

"Could it be that in the depths of that relic back then, there was not just that Bronze Gate, but also the remnant of a Fire Dao Demon Lord from the Heavenly Court of the demon race?!"

After hearing this, everyone present felt as if they were enlightened.

No wonder!

No wonder the Heaven-Burning Ancestor lost his mind, yet his power continued to rise, although he was completely capped, his strength nevertheless kept approaching the true realm of a Daoist Master.

Perhaps a complete relic of a certain Daoist Master lay hidden within, swallowed whole by the Heaven-Burning Ancestor who lost all control.

"Originally, the Heaven-Burning Ancestor, due to the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array, lost his own reason. The fallen corpse of the Demon Lord was full of heavenly intent, if he wasn’t mad it wouldn’t make sense?"

Taiwu Daoist Venerable sighed deeply with emotion.

The bodies of a Demon Lord and a Daoist Master would, in the end, continually merge into the heavens and earth due to the Heavenly Dao.

The Great Dao Heavenly Sound is an accessory of this process.

The will of the Heaven-Burning Ancestor was already very chaotic, perhaps because he swallowed the Demon Lord’s corpse filled with heavenly intent, although mad, it made him all the more aligned with the Heavenly Dao!

The Daoist Venerables present began to calculate, yet with all the conditions together, they increasingly felt that this was what had happened back then.

There might be some deviations, but it’s pretty close.

It’s important to know that the reason why Demon Lords and Daoist Masters don’t take action is to retract themselves, resisting the omnipresent heavenly intent.

Jiang Shu slowly exhaled a breath, suddenly thinking of something, and spoke:

"If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Heaven-Burning Ancestor be deepening his integration with the Dao every second in this process?"

The unity of god and Dao, unity of heaven and man.

These eight words encompass all that the Demon Lord and Daoist Master experience.

With each step in this process, the demon lord and the daoist master will enhance their power, but the erosion will also become more substantial.

"Exactly."

The Sect Leader of the Dao Yi Sect uncharacteristically agreed with Jiang Shu, then spoke:

"If according to my speculation, as long as the Heaven-Burning Ancestor does not fully integrate into the Heavenly Dao, his cultivation will continue to ascend every second, maybe..."

He pondered for a moment, then guessed and spoke: "When he is completely assimilated by the Heavenly Dao, about to merge into the world, he will truly step into the realm of the Demon Lord."

Those present were astonished by what they heard, but then quickly snapped back to reality.

The Heaven-Burning Ancestor, no matter how strong, really stepped into the realm of the Demon Lord but was already filled with heavenly intent in his mind.

Unable to utilize and devoid of reason.

"It’s possible that at the instant he steps into the realm of the Demon Lord, he will be fully assimilated by the world, directly fall, and become the shortest-lived demon lord in history."

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect sneered, carrying a hint of mockery.

"However, he might still be able to unleash the might of a Demon Lord in that brief instant, to confront us or all the creatures he sees." Taiwu Daoist Venerable once again spoke.

He had witnessed the state of the Heaven-Burning Ancestor after madness.

Recklessly trying to scorch and destroy everything!

If this being ascends to the realm of the Demon Lord, even for just an instant, it would be a catastrophe.

Jiang Shu now also understood why the demon race wanted to suppress the Heaven-Burning Ancestor, instead of killing him to remove the menace.

"I guess if I’m not mistaken, there should be methods left behind by the Golden Crow here!"

"And the Heaven-Burning Ancestor is undoubtedly the most suitable precursor to the king."

"After all, a beast that is infinitely close to becoming a Daoist Master and has the hope of stepping into it for an instant has some value."

Jiang Shu spoke in a deep tone.

The Daoist Venerables present nodded slightly, expressing agreement.

"So, where should we head to now?"

The Sect Master of the Dan Fu Sect stroked his long beard, curiously asked.

The reason they could find this place was because the previous contest was too large.

Afterwards, the strong ones will definitely make some covers and restrictions, and it will be extremely difficult to find them again.

And once these demon races complete their plans, the Human Clan might fall behind in the struggle.

After all, this is where the Heavenly Court of the demon race fell!

"This is..."

Upon hearing this, Taiwu Daoist Venerable was also at a loss for a moment.

He turned his head to Jiang Shu, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, no doubt hoping Jiang Shu might have some plans.

Not only him, but all the Daoist Venerables present looked at Jiang Shu.

This is...

Jiang Shu internally let out a bitter laugh.

Clearly, these Daoist Venerables hoped he would step forward.

However, it’s because of the World Tree that he could find the core item, Jianmu.

His only way forward might be to follow Golden Horn by leveraging the connection between his incarnation and true self.

Just as he pondered, Jiang Shu suddenly paused, having a realization.

"Wait, what I felt the first time I delved into that relic wasn’t necessarily Jianmu."

He suddenly realized.

If their previous assumptions about the Heaven-Burning Ancestor were correct, when the Heaven-Burning Ancestor swallowed the remnants of an Emperor of Fire Dao, his power skyrocketed, driving him mad.

If the fragment of a small world containing Jianmu were located here, it would’ve been incinerated by the deranged Heaven-Burning Ancestor.

But it wasn’t!

Jiang Shu found Jianmu behind the Bronze Gate.

Perhaps what he locked onto twice wasn’t the same thing.

"Perhaps, in this battlefield from the fall of the Heavenly Court, besides Jianmu, there might be other things that could attract the World Tree inside me, and that would definitely be an extraordinary treasure."
