Chapter 1362 - 722: Methods Rivaling the Demon Lord

The corpse before us, like a mountain, was left by a Long-armed Giant Ape.

But it wasn’t the one previously severely injured by the Daoist Venerables.

Numerous strong figures scrutinized it one by one, and the Beast Taming Sect Leader even soared into the air, stepping onto the charred body.

His Divine Sense instantly spread out, covering the whole charred corpse.

"Any discoveries?"

"Yes."

The Beast Taming Sect Leader turned back, nodded slightly, and there was a hint of gravity in his eyes:

"This corpse has been tampered with, as if something was taken from it. As I speculate, it is likely some Origin left here."

Long-armed Giant Ape Origin?

Everyone’s minds began to ponder.

Jiang Shu’s eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at the various Daoist Venerables present, and spoke:

"Esteemed seniors, is there a possibility that the Long-armed Giant Ape came here partly for the Origin Power within this corpse?"

"If my assumption is correct, the Long-armed Ape Venerable is likely using this place to restore its cultivation."

Upon hearing this, each of the Daoist Venerables nodded slightly.

Highly plausible!

Among them, the Douxing Sect Leader chuckled:

"Doesn’t this mean that this battlefield is filled with various Origin Powers, even for us, it’s undeniably advantageous."

According to what that Heavenly Empress Xi’e said, the Ten Thousand Gods Cave is perilous beyond measure, even they couldn’t fully grasp it. Over the millennia, many dangers have accumulated.

Though it’s a place of true peril, it’s undoubtedly a treasure trove!

If well utilized, it would greatly strengthen the foundation of both the Human Clan and Demon Race.

Granting an advantageous position in the forthcoming wars.

The Daoist Venerables swept around this layer momentarily, finding some charred demon corpses, but anything valuable had already been taken.

Clearly, those from the Demon Race wouldn’t leave them many good things.

They hesitated no longer and directly entered the Fifth Floor.

As soon as they stepped into the Fifth Floor, they were greeted by dazzling brilliance; the mountains, rocks, flora, faunas all emitting shimmering light!

Even the weakest ones held the power akin to a Half-step Daoist Monarch.

However, if ordinary cultivators saw this place, they would probably treat it as a treasure trove, frantically harvesting resources.

Yet the Daoist Venerables present vaguely discerned the underlying issue.

"These chaotic laws and methods, how were they formed?"

Jiang Shu furrowed his brow.

On the Fifth Floor, everything seemed stained by unconventional paths.

For example, not far to Jiang Shu’s left was a raging bamboo.

It was stained with the Fire Dao, Wood Dao, Light Dao, and other chaotic Dao auras, making it impossible to refine.

The resources here are just appealing in appearance, with little practical use.

"No wonder the Demon Race didn’t take these resources, hmph, useless as they are, we needn’t bother, onward!"

"To guard against possible traps set by the Demon Race."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable spoke promptly.

The Daoist Venerables advanced, surrounded by magnificent and splendid scenery.

After a long journey, they reached the end of the Fifth Floor.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was no expansive cavern as before.

But a vast void.

The void was exceedingly fractured.

As if a battle occurred, breaking this place apart, separating the Fifth Floor from the Sixth Floor, requiring passage through this void to reach the Sixth Floor.

"Are these marks left by the Demon Race?"

The Hidden Sword Sect Leader had an exceedingly sharp gaze, looking into the void.

In the boundless shattered void, there were two paths stretching into the deeper void.

The left path was shimmering with countless red lights, faintly echoing with phoenix cries.

While the right path was condensed with clear moonlight, like a moonlit rainbow.

These are two routes leading into the deep void, into the Sixth Floor.

"The left path was likely left by the Demon Race, perhaps crafted by the Phoenix Clan Demon Lord seated in the underground palace."

Phecda Daoist Venerable sneered and spoke.

Meanwhile, as the Human Clan’s Venerables arrived, the moonlight path emitted a faint glow, seemingly welcoming.

At the same time, the jade pearl obtained from the Demon Race’s Heavenly Empress reflected corresponding glows, evidently responding.

Yet at this moment, none of the Human Race Venerables set foot on that moonlight path.

The reason was simple, there was only one path!

If the path were severed, what would be their options?

What if the Demon Race’s Heavenly Empress entered, then cut off the path afterward, leaving them stranded?

Wandering in the void isn’t trivial, a slight misstep could lead to dire consequences even a Daoist Venerable wouldn’t want to encounter.

Just as the Venerables pondered, a voice suddenly resounded.

"Neither the previous demon paths nor this moonlight path are suitable for us from the Human Clan."

"I have a method, able to traverse the void, reaching the other shore!"

The Venerables turned to see, it was Jiang Shu speaking, evoking curiosity among them.

And the Heavenly Puppet Sect Master’s eyes narrowed, vaguely aware of something.

"This boy holds a Heaven-Reaching Jianmu, even if it’s just a sapling, constructing a path for us to traverse the void shouldn’t be an issue!"
