Chapter 1360 - 721: Exploration! Perils Everywhere

"Perhaps the Heavenly Empress intended for us to enter the Cave of the Gods from the start. That’s why she marked so many spots, to create an illusion of choice."

The Sect Leader of the Dao Yi Sect spoke with a cold laugh, lightly tapping the ground with his right foot, causing the ground within dozens of miles to shatter inch by inch, displaying immense power.

At this moment, they had already found many white resource points.

However, what’s been left behind didn’t yield many benefits.

For the disciples, it might be useful, like those armors, but for them, it was either not very useful or even somewhat superfluous.

"Could it be that we must enter the Cave of the Gods?"

The Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect had a hint of worry in his eyes as he spoke.

"The Cave of the Gods is probably one of the most dangerous places here."

"You and I both know that in this area, most of it is under the control of the forces represented by the Heavenly Empress."

"Only a few places are uncontrolled, one of which is the Cave of the Gods."

Jiang Shu spoke up immediately.

He had hinted at many situations, including the reason for the formation of the Cave of the Gods, which was the central battlefield between the rebels and many strong figures of the Heavenly Court.

Too many powerful figures fell there, including even a Daoist Master.

It could be called the most dangerous place here.

However, Ao Qing headed straight for the Cave of the Gods without the slightest hesitation.

Isn’t that unusual?

"There must be a reason for anything unusual. You and I both know that although most low-level demon tribes are brainless cannon fodder, those who can cultivate to the Venerable Realm are not simple beings."

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect sighed, gazing at the red glow of the Cave of the Gods on the map, deep in thought:

"Perhaps there lies the fallen True Dragon of a Demon Lord, possibly including the ancestors of other great clans. Their visit here is to claim any legacies left behind."

"Well said."

The other Daoist Venerables nodded slightly.

The hierarchy of the Demon Race is largely similar, but with some differences, the most important being bloodline.

The stronger the bloodline, the more origin, the further the path one can tread in the future!

In a certain sense, what is the origin of the bloodline?

It’s the ancestors inscribing the Great Dao they cultivated into the bloodline.

Like an inheritance constantly passed down.

Thus, for the Demon Race, the higher the origin, the more the inheritance, and naturally, the stronger they become.

"If this is truly the case..."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable pondered for a moment, his aura still as imposing as a mountain, before speaking:

"For us, if those old guys obtain the bloodline essence and improve, it will be unfavorable for the Human Clan."

As he spoke, all the Daoist Venerables present nodded slightly.

In the current situation, if you’re stronger by one point, we are weaker by one point.

If we can prevent the Demon Race from acquiring power, it would naturally be the best choice.

"Perhaps, in the eyes of the Heavenly Empress, preventing those rebels from gaining power is a must."

Jiang Shu also voiced his thoughts.

At this moment, everyone was offering their insights.

"Perhaps, we can try to maneuver around the edges. If we can really enter and gain opportunities, for us, the origins of those demon tribe experts could also be utilized."

Hearing this, whether it was the Sect Leader of the Dan Fu Sect, or the leaders of the Beast Taming Sect and Heavenly Puppet Sect, their eyes burned with interest.

These three major sects are capable of processing and transforming such materials into items suitable for the Human Clan.

The Dan Fu Sect can convert these into special talismans and elixirs, directly enhancing the strength of current Human Clan experts.

The Beast Taming Sect can feed these origins to their spirit beasts, thus nurturing a batch of powerful demons loyal to the Human Clan.

This could also fill the gaps left in their sects due to the purges following treason.

As for the Heavenly Puppet Sect, it is simpler; if any Dao bone remains from those powerful beings, they can naturally be used as powerful puppets.

After some discussion, the Venerables had already made a decision.

The Cave of the Gods is a place they must go.

Though there are bound to be endless dangers within the Cave of the Gods.

But these forces of Daoist Venerables, even if a Demon Lord takes action, may have corresponding means.

Having decided, the numerous Daoist Venerables present set forth majestically, heading straight for the Cave of the Gods.

When they finally arrived at the Cave of the Gods, the crowd was surprised.

Because the Cave of the Gods was not far from the Ancient Bronze Gate they entered through.

"Could it be that the Tao Corpse crawled out from the Cave of the Gods?"

Jiang Shu’s eyes shimmered with a thoughtful light.

"Tao Corpse?"

Taiwu Daoist Venerable furrowed his brow and asked in confusion:

"Are you referring to the Tao Corpse of the Mixed Cave Middle Stage realm that you encountered shortly after starting to explore this place?"

"Yes, that Tao Corpse is almost merged with the Five Declines Poison, so we must deal with it carefully."

Jiang Shu specifically reminded.

Merged with the Five Declines Poison?

Aside from the Sect Leader, the other Daoist Venerables were startled in their hearts; they had personally dealt with the Five Declines Poison before, knowing its tenacity.

After a moment of discussion, the Daoist Venerables headed towards the distant Cave of the Gods.

A little less than an hour later, the crowd stopped in mid-air, looking down below.

Below, on a vast and flat ground, was an enormous cave with a circular shape, its diameter exceeding over a thousand miles!
