It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized that the location they were in was a square in front of a palace.
Fan Ji looked at the palace and murmured: "Demon Palace..."
Above Li Mu's head, the paper crane flapped its wings and slowly flew towards the palace, finally landing on the stone steps in front of the palace.
All Taoist pages in the world come from the "Tao Jing". The talisman Xuanjizi gave him contains the breath of a Taoist page and can sense the location of other Taoist pages. Obviously, the Taoist page that Demon Emperor Baidi once owned
, right in this palace.
An elder from Beizong trembled the compass pointer in his hand a few times and pointed to the palace.
The people of the Demon Sect, as well as the subordinates of the major demon kings, looked at the palace in the mist, with strange lights flashing in their eyes.
Everyone is very clear that their target this time is in this palace.
But no one acted rashly.
In just a short period of time before reaching this square, they suffered heavy losses. Who knows if there are any other dangers in this demon palace? No one is willing to take the first step.
The first to take action were the Spiritual Formation Sect and the elders of the six Taoist sects. Although they consumed a lot in the battle with the demon corpses, their overall strength was 100% preserved. This is why the six sects of the Taoist sect are different from each other.
The background of the Demon King and the Demonic Way.
In fact, any of the six sects can easily destroy a branch of the Demonic Path, but it is far inferior to the entire Demonic Path.
And the six sects joined forces, although they were able to suppress the demons, they could not afford the losses of annihilating them.
The role of a strong person in the seventh realm is no different from that of a nuclear bomb. The Demonic Path, the Taoist Sect, the Imperial Court, and the Buddhist Sect are all nuclear powers. No matter how deep the hatred between the parties, they will not easily stir up the war in the upper three realms.
If you cannot control or destroy all the seventh-level experts on the other side at once, you must be prepared to destroy them all together.
Following the actions of the Spiritual Formation Sect, all forces after careful consideration followed them and slowly approached the main hall.
Although no one wants to take the lead, but standing here, the treasure will not fly out of the Demon Palace on its own. When the time comes, the Spirit Formation Sect will eat meat, and they will not even be able to drink the soup.
The Spiritual Formation Sect has no scruples, which at least means that there is no formation here. They don't want to be trapped in the formation again just after escaping from the mouth of the demon corpse.
Li Mu led the court to worship and the Fu Lu sect disciples, but he did not go in front. He always felt that something was not right.
Whether it's the fog in the Demon Emperor's Cave, the neat rows of stone tablets surrounding the Demon Emperor's Palace, or the ancient demon clan strongman who died abnormally under the stone tablets, there is something strange behind all the events.
As everyone approached the Demon Palace, the thin layer of fog on the square gradually stopped affecting their sight.
The whole view of the Demon Palace is presented to everyone.
This is a magnificent palace. In terms of area, it is not as good as the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty, but as far as this palace is concerned, it is more luxurious than any other palace in the imperial palace.
Outside the palace, there are many reliefs carved on several white jade stone pillars. The reliefs show scenes of hundreds of demons visiting the Demon Palace.
Three thousand years ago, the Demon Emperor Baidi was truly the supreme among demons.
He has countless demon soldiers and ten demon kings, all of whom are powerful in the upper three realms.
That was the time when the demon clan was the most powerful in thousands of years, so powerful that even the human race had to temporarily avoid the edge.
In front of the Demon Palace, a huge statue stands.
The statue is about three feet high. It is a mighty middle-aged man. He stands in front of the Demon Palace, overlooking the entire square. He is full of the aura of looking down on the world. Just a statue can make people surrender from the bottom of their hearts.
.
The elders of the six sects and those in the demonic path were better off. The subordinates of the four demon kings all looked pale and lowered their heads, with expressions of submission on their faces. In front of the former emperor of the demon clan, they could not afford any resistance.
thought.
Li Mu looked at the statue of the Demon King and felt nothing but emotion in his heart.
No matter how powerful his master is, he can't withstand the invasion of time. After three thousand years, no matter how powerful the existence is, ashes will return to ashes, and dust will return to dust.
Li Mu subconsciously felt that three thousand years was very short, but if he thought about it carefully, Chinese civilization was only five thousand years old. Three thousand years ago, the land of China was still the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, King Wu had just conquered Zhou...
Immediately, Li Mu felt that a simple and ancient aura rushed towards the Demon Palace in front of him...
Demon Palace, the palace gate is wide open.
Everyone finally stopped in front of the palace gate and did not rush in.
If the door of the Demon Palace was closed, they might break in without hesitation, but as we all know, before the Demon Emperor's longevity was cut off, he used the cave he created as a tomb. How could anyone open his own tomb and welcome others to enter?
of?
Until they noticed that there was a stone tablet standing in front of the Demon Palace.
In three thousand years, the spiritual jade will lose its spiritual energy, the elixir will lose its medicinal power, and the magic weapon will lose its spiritual energy, but the stone will still be a stone.
There were words engraved on the stone tablet, but they were still demonic characters, and Li Mu didn't recognize them.
Fan Ji glanced at the words, her eyes showing joy, but she did not speak.
A bear demon couldn't help but murmured: "I practiced cultivation for more than three hundred years in my life, traveled to ten continents and three islands, obtained the heavenly book, obtained the spiritual veins, became a heavenly demon, unified the demon clan, and six sects
There are few opponents in the battle, but in the end, they cannot defeat the way of heaven and cannot achieve immortality..."
The elders of the six sects stood in front of the magnificent Demon Palace, listening to the last words of a powerful generation, with blank expressions on their faces.
Even the most powerful people in the Ninth Realm only live for more than three hundred years.
They are only in the fifth realm now. If they cannot advance to the seventh realm within a few decades, they will be like ordinary mortals and will end up with nothing but a handful of loess.
Even the most powerful people in the Ninth Realm are like this. What kind of practice are they doing?
They stay away from the world and practice hard in seclusion. What’s the point?
Not only the elders of the six sects, but also the demons and monsters present had a look of confusion on their faces after hearing these words.
For Li Mu, immortality is good, but if you cannot live forever, staying with your loved ones and growing old together is also a fulfilling life. For an adult who cannot practice in the world, this is an awareness that everyone must have.
.
Feeling that the mood of the elders of the six sects suddenly dropped, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "You cultivate your way and don't care what others do!"
With his deliberate use of magic power, this low roar directly rang in everyone's ears.
The elders of the six sects trembled, and their eyes quickly became clear.
After they came back to their senses, they felt a sense of fear in their hearts.
Just now, they were almost distracted by Bai Di's emotion before his death.
The most difficult thing in practice is to cultivate the mind. Once their Taoist heart is lost, the inner demons will easily take advantage of the situation. At that time, stagnation and regression of cultivation will be minor. Once controlled by the inner demons, they will most likely lose their mind.
, and became a puppet of the inner demon.
At that time, the only result for them is to be dealt with by their fellow sects to avoid causing harm to the world.
Including the disciples of the Fu Lu Sect, the elders of the six sects bowed to him and said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle!"
If before this, they were still dissatisfied with this young master of the Fu Lu Sect, the loud shout just now made them completely regard this young master as an elder of the sect.
When they encounter problems in their practice, pointing out the direction for them is exactly what the elders of the sect would do.
What he said just now was like an enlightenment, awakening them who were confused.
Several ministers in the court were also shocked and broke out in cold sweat, bowed and said: "Thank you, Mr. Li."
The four demon kings' subordinates all hugged Li Mu, and those who had only one arm and were unable to fist also bowed to him.
The kindness of giving some advice on practice is a great kindness. Even if they are monsters, they understand this truth.
Fan Ji came back to her senses and looked at Li Mu blankly, her eyes becoming a little complicated.
Standing in front of the cave of the strong demon clan three thousand years ago, listening to the sigh of this ninth level strong man before his death, even she was disturbed. If no one wakes her up, her future cultivation path will be different.
been greatly affected.
What troubled her was that she and Li Mu were obviously enemies, but Li Mu had done her a great favor just now. It was not the tradition of their Tianhu clan to only take revenge but not to repay kindness, but how should she take revenge and repay kindness at the same time?
Fan Ji finally gritted her teeth. The Tianhu clan had clear grudges and everything had to come first. Even if she wanted to repay her kindness, it would be after she had done so.
After everyone regained their composure, Li Mu continued to look at the bear demon and said, "What else did the demon emperor say?"
Before the bear demon opened his mouth, Huan Ji rushed to say: "The Demon Emperor said that after his death, the treasures of the Demon Palace and the page of the Heavenly Book will be left to the destined people who enter the cave and hope to get his inheritance.
Able to revitalize the demon clan again..."
Li Mu glanced at her and asked, "Really?"
Fan Ji glanced at him coldly and said, "Why should I lie to you?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."
He looked at the bear demon and asked again: "What else did the demon emperor say?"
The bear demon said: "She is right. The Demon King is dead. He left the Demon Palace and the treasures in it to the people who are destined to come after him..."
At this point, the reason why the Demon Palace has not been closed has been explained.
Even though the Demon King died, he still thought of the Demon Clan in his heart and left the Demon Palace to future generations, which immediately made all the Demon Clan present feel awe in their hearts.
This is the true King of Demons.
Li Mu looked at the stone tablet and felt doubtful.
If Emperor Bai wanted to pass on his demonic heritage, why not pass it on right then instead of waiting three thousand years?
This is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.
However, seeing the group of monsters looking at the Demon Palace with reverence and almost kneeling down to thank them, Li Mu did not raise any questions.
He didn't expect these single-minded monsters to be able to figure out these things.
He just raised his guard a little more in his heart.
Fan Ji walked to the stone monument, looked at Li Mu and others, and said, "You can't go in."
Li Mu glanced at her and asked, "Why?"
Fan Ji puffed up her chest and said confidently: "Didn't you see what is written on this stone tablet? The Demon Emperor is going to pass the Demon Palace to the Demon Clan. Why do you humans come to join in the fun?"
Li Mu crossed his arms and said: "Anyway, we don't know Yaowen. Maybe you guys colluded to deceive us. Besides, humans and monsters are all creatures in the world. Humans are born from human beings, and demons are also demons."
Born by a mother, no one of us is nobler than the other, so why can you enter and we can’t?"
Fan Ji's lips moved and she was speechless for a moment when Li Mu said it.
In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she quite liked what Li Mu said.
The human race is the leader of all things and is the noblest race. Relatively speaking, the demon race is an inferior alien race in their eyes. Many practitioners massacre the demon race and extract their souls without any guilt.
Even the demon clan does not deny the identity of the leader of all human beings.
They have tried so hard to cultivate their human form and become like humans. Isn't this also an invisible acquiescence in this matter?
Humans are born from human beings, monsters are also born from monsters, no one of us is nobler than the other... This was the first time she heard a human say this.
If Li Mu wasn't her enemy and didn't compete with her for the Demon Emperor's treasure, just based on his words, she would become friends with him.
It's a pity that he is from the Zhou Dynasty, and they are destined to be enemies.
Fan Ji sneered and said: "The inheritance of the Demon Emperor is for us, the Demon Clan, and you humans are here to snatch it away, why are you so shameless?"
Li Mu retorted: "The Demon Emperor is talking about a destined person, not a destined demon. How can you have the nerve to rob him?"
Fan Ji said: "You are using strong words to make excuses!"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything. Let's have a fight. Whoever wins gets in..."
Li Mu and Fan Ji were arguing and found that the Demon Sect and the four demon kings' men had entered the Demon Palace.
These damn monsters have no martial ethics. Li Mu and Fan Ji looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding immediately.
snort!
snort!
The two men snorted coldly at the same time, turned their heads, and led their respective people in.
At the same time, in the main hall on the first floor of the Demon Palace, the demons who had just walked in almost exclaimed at the same time.
"The Enlightenment Pill that helps beasts unlock their intelligence?"
"The Fetus Shaping Pill that allows them to transform into monster bodies?"
"A transformation pill that allows shape-forming beasts to transform in advance?"
"This kind of elixir can increase the probability of the transformed monster's elixir condensing..."
"This, this is the realm-breaking elixir that allows monsters from the fifth realm to enter the sixth realm..."
"With the fall of the Demon Emperor, haven't these elixirs been lost long ago?"
…
Li Mu looked into the hall and saw a row of wooden shelves. On the wooden shelves, there were crystal clear jade bottles.
From the outside, you can see that there are pills inside the jade bottle, and there is spiritual energy flowing on the surface of the pills.
It is impossible for any elixir to be preserved for three thousand years. These elixirs have not lost their spiritual power until now. It must be because of these jade bottles. These crystal clear elixir bottles have locked the spiritual power of the elixirs.
Before each elixir bottle, there is an introduction in the text of the demon clan.
Although Li Mu didn't know the characters of the monster clan, he probably understood the importance of these elixirs to the monster clan from listening to the monsters' discussions.
These rows of elixirs, from the Enlightenment Pill to the Realm-Breaking Pill, can provide one-stop services. Within ten or twenty years, a large number of demon masters will be created, from beasts to sixth-level demon kings, in just one step.
Thirty years.
The Alchemy Sect can also achieve this speed, but the difficulty of refining an elixir similar to the Breaking Realm Pill is no less difficult than asking the Fulu Sect to draw a holy-level talisman without Li Mu.
Even so, it takes twenty years to create a fifth-level monster master, which is very fast.
No wonder the demon clan was so powerful when Bai Di was the demon emperor, and then gradually declined. At least he did not pass down this set of elixir refining methods for the demon clan's advancement.
Except for the elders of the Alchemy Sect, who looked at these elixirs with interest on their faces, the rest of them just took a glance and paid little attention to them.
No matter how powerful these elixirs are, they are only for the demons. There is still a difference between human and demon bodies. The demons' powerful elixirs may be fatal to humans if they take them.
But for the demons present, these elixirs have a fatal temptation.
The monsters here are all in the fifth realm, and a few are even at the peak of the fifth realm.
As long as you get the Realm Breaking Pill at that moment, you will have a high chance of being promoted to the sixth realm and becoming a demon king after you return. Which demon can resist this temptation?
It's a pity that there is only one realm-breaking pill, but there are twenty demon clans here.
A wolf demon was the fastest, stretched out his claws, and headed straight for the bottle of Breaking Realm Pill.
Several rays of cold light flashed in the void, and another tiger claw appeared. The target was not the Realm Breaking Pill, but the wolf demon's back.
The wolf demon was caught off guard and received a claw on its back. The skin was immediately torn open and blood spurted out. The wound was so deep that the bones were visible. It let out a howl and glared at a tiger demon from the Demon Sect.
The tiger demon greedily licked the blood drops on his paws and grinned, "You didn't ask us even a single question. Isn't that too much?"
The injured wolf demon stood with two other companions. Behind the tiger demon, three figures stood out.
After passing through the land of demon corpses, the wolf demons lost two people and the demon sect lost one. They did not have the upper hand against the demon sect. At the same time, several demons from the snake clan, leopard clan, and bear clan were also looking at them.
.
The Breaking Realm Pill has a fatal temptation on all the monsters here.
The tiger demon glanced at the group of demons and said coldly: "Whoever dares to touch this elixir is going against our Demon Sect and the Demon Sect!"
He suppressed the demons with his demon sect and strode towards the wooden stand where the realm-breaking pill was placed.
However, when he stretched out his tiger claws, a whip was wrapped around his wrist.
A snake demon, holding a long whip, pulled the tiger demon's arm and said coldly: "The demon country is not the territory of the demon sect. If you want this pill, you might as well show some real skills..."
After that, he looked at the five bear demons and said: "Heixiazi, we got this pill together. After we get out, no matter who the pill belongs to in the end, we have to give the other party enough compensation. What do you think?"
The five bear demons said nothing, but stood together with the four snake demons, forming a temporary alliance.
Seeing this, only the three demons, the wolf demon and the leopard demon, stood side by side tacitly.
At a certain moment, I don't know who made the first move, the Demon Sect, the Leopard and Wolf Alliance, and the Snake and Bear Alliance, fighting for a realm-breaking pill.
What these monsters use best are their sharp claws and claws. The snake monster clan mainly uses demonic magic and poisonous attacks, making the entire first-floor hall full of smoke.
Li Mu and others were not interested in the demon pills on the first floor, so they flew up to the second floor.
On the second floor of the Demon Palace, there are many magic weapons, which are all sealed in special jade boxes, and their spirituality is not reduced.
In addition, there is a small jade bottle in the center of the second floor.
There was nothing in the jade bottle, it seemed like there was nothing.
However, whether it was Fan Ji or the elders of the six sects, they headed straight for the jade bottle as soon as they stepped onto the second floor.
Feeling the sudden buzzing in his ears, Li Mu raised his head and said calmly: "I want this bottle. Who agrees and who objects?"
After his words fell, the elders of the six sects paused for a moment, and finally slowly retreated.
Fan Ji had already stretched out her hand. When she heard Li Mu's words, she turned back to look at him, stamped her feet, retracted her hand, and gritted her teeth: "Now, I don't owe you anything..."
Li Mu knew that he had saved Fan Ji just once outside the Demon Palace.
Judging from her language and behavior, Fan Ji is very likely to be of the Sky Fox clan.
Therefore, she had to repay the favor outside the palace.
However, she wanted to use this jade bottle to gain a clear mind, and there was no way Li Mu would let her succeed.
This is his thing, she doesn't need to give it away.
Li Mu looked at her and said, "You can object."
An angry look appeared in Fan Ji's eyes, and she grabbed the jade bottle.
Li Mu crossed his arms and said to the elders of the six sects and the court: "Grab it for me..."
