Chapter 602 Trailing
Li Muran hid his body and followed the instructions of the demon soul, quietly shuttled through this group of halls built along the mountain and continuous.
Because the power of formation and restriction is blessed around the hall, the flames can be isolated, so the hall is not burning.
However, the temperature here is still extremely high; the surrounding heaven and earth vital energy is also more suitable for fire-attributed martial arts and magical powers. This is not a demon abyss, so the demon energy here is not particularly thick, which is not much different from ordinary places.
After Li Muran passed through a hall, he would step onto a stone staircase corridor, and the other end of the corridor would connect another hall.
There are more than a thousand halls, so crisscrossed and connected to each other.
"This Heavenly Demon Palace is very magnificent. Why did seniors and others build this extremely large palace?" Li Muran asked curiously.
The Demon Soul sighed and said, "This Heavenly Demon Palace is a gathering place for our demon cultivators. In addition to dozens of demon cultivators from the lower realm of the Demon Realm, there are also some high-level cultivators in this world. At that time, the Heavenly Demon Palace had stationed at no less than a hundred true body demon cultivators during its heyday. There were as many as seven or eight demon cultivators in the late realm stage alone, which was stronger than the current five major demon cultivators. Unfortunately, we are still unable to defeat the spiritual cultivation army. Most of the demon cultivators who lived in the Heavenly Demon Palace fell in the spiritual and demon war that year."
Li Muran asked again: "I have a question that I have always been confused about why the spiritual world and the demon world were willing to mobilize a large number of people and spent a lot of energy to break the barrier and send cultivators into this lower realm? According to the senior, for middle interfaces such as the demon world and the spiritual world, the subordinate lower interfaces have countless control over the lower realm. It is logically not worthy of the spiritual world and the demon world being greatly moved by this. I wonder what the real reason for the spiritual world war is?"
The memory of the Demon Soul had not been restored before, and Li Muran did not seek the roots; but now the Demon Soul has remembered many past events, and he must know the story behind the battle between the Spirit and Demons.
The Demon Soul said: "I know you have this question sooner or later. After more than ten thousand years, I have nothing to hide. As you said, in fact, the battle between the spirit and the demons was not to fight for control of this world, but to fight for a treasure."
"A treasure?" Li Muran was stunned: "What a treasure, it is actually worthy of the spiritual world. The demon world attaches so much importance to it and it takes so much effort."
Demon Soul Youyou said: "It's a long time since a high-level demon cultivator in the Demon World who was famous for divination skills, he divined a treasure and landed in this lower interface, so he sent us to search for treasure. Unexpectedly, the spiritual world also targeted this treasure, so the double-in-one battled in this lower world."
"What happened later? Was that treasure ever been found?" Li Muran asked with a stir in his heart.
The demon soul guessed Li Muran’s thoughts, and he shook his head and smiled: “I can be sure that the treasure has already fallen into the hands of spiritual cultivators, and it should have been brought back to the spiritual world by them. So for so many years, the spiritual world and the demon cultivators no longer sent people to the world to find treasures.”
"So that treasure is no longer in this world." Li Muran nodded, "It seems that the five major demon sects in the Middle Earth did not come for this matter."
"What kind of treasure is that it actually alarmed the high-level cultivators in the spiritual world and demon cultivators." Li Muran couldn't help asking.
The demon soul shook his head again and said, "Actually, I don't know much, I just act according to the orders. But I can be sure that the treasure is definitely a quality above the Supreme Treasure of the Heavens."
"Tiantian treasure?" Li Muran was stunned. This was the first time he had heard such a statement.
The Demon Soul said: "In the lower interface, there are magic weapons above the magic weapons; there are spiritual treasures above the magic weapons. However, in the Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm, even the Ninth-level Spirit Treasure is not considered the top-level treasure. Those with higher quality include Tongtian Spirit Treasure and Tongtian Demon Treasure; there are even Xuantian Spirit Treasure and Xuantian Demon Treasure.
"It is possible to alarm those great figures in the spiritual and demon worlds and send cultivators to go down to find treasures. It is definitely not an ordinary spiritual and demon treasure. Ordinary Tongtian treasures will not be taken so seriously. I speculate that the treasure is mostly a ninth-level Tongtian treasure, and it may even be a Xuantian treasure. What I can't understand is why such a heaven-defying treasure appears in a mere interface?"
"It turns out to be a treasure of this quality." Li Muran took a deep breath.
For him who is still in the middle stage of true body cultivation, spiritual treasures are already the strongest treasure. As for the Supreme Treasure of Tongtian and Xuantian treasures in the mouth of the Demon Soul, it is out of reach.
Li Muran couldn't help but think of it: "My mysterious bronze mirror has extremely special magical effects. I wonder what quality it is? Could it be a treasure that reaches the sky?"
While Li Muran was thinking, his face suddenly changed slightly. His divine consciousness sensed that in the hall ahead, two strong auras were approaching.
Li Muran immediately stopped and held his breath to concentrate. Not only did he use his hidden magical power to the extreme, but he even took his spiritual thoughts back into his body.
Then, Li Muran quietly hid behind a huge stone pillar about meter thick, motionless.
A moment later, a slight conversation sounded from the hall ahead.
Li Muran judged that the other party was still hundreds of feet away from him and should not be able to see through his hidden art. So he leaned out quietly and glanced at him from a distance.
"It turns out they are two demon cultivators from the Demon Star Sect. One is in the early stage of the true body and the other is in the middle stage of the true body." Although Li Muran only glanced at it, he immediately judged the other party's identity and cultivation.
Li Muran also saw the direction of their behavior, not coming for him, but going to another hall.
Li Muran estimated that the route these two were about to walk was three hundred feet away when they were closest to him. He used his hidden magical powers and hid behind the stone pillar motionlessly. He thought that these two people would not be able to detect it.
"Wait quietly for a moment and let them leave." Li Muran said in his heart.
Li Muran doesn't want to alert the snake. Now he is alone in the Heavenly Demon Palace, and everything is still to be cautious.
However, Li Muran focused on listening to the conversation between the two demon cultivators.
"Senior Brother Wu, now it's less than a day before the war between the righteous and the demons is over. How could those righteous monks come so quickly and send me and me to guard the mountain gate? Could it be that they were deliberately trying to help you and me?" said a middle-aged man.
An old voice responded: "Don't say that. Senior Brother Liu is just in case. I went to the mountain gate. If a righteous monk breaks in, he can also find out and report it in advance."
The middle-aged man suddenly sighed and said, "I have been joining the Demon Star Sect for more than 200 years. I have tried my best to ask myself, but I have never received the trust and attention of my senior brothers. Not to mention anything else, this time I have entered the Nanyang realm. I only realized this big thing when I came to the end, but I have never received any news before."
The old man smiled and said, "I'm afraid only a few elders knew that I, like Junior Brother Zhou, had also been temporarily notified to come here. If the elder had not been polite, this matter would not have been so smooth.
If you let the righteous monk know some news in advance, this plan will definitely not work.”
The middle-aged man said, "Senior Brother Wu is different from Xiaoxia. Senior Brother Wu is at least involved in the collection of souls and alchemy in the Western Regions. I don't even know that Senior Brother Wu has collected hundreds of thousands of souls in the Western Regions. Is there any such incident?"
The old man laughed and said, "How many people have killed millions of mortals at that time, because of the urgency of time, they only collected less than half of their souls. At that time, I was not the only one who took action to collect the souls. After all, I only got 70,000 to 80,000 souls."
"Tsk, 70,000 to 80,000 souls are enough for Senior Brother Wu to refine a powerful soul-summoning banner." The middle-aged man sighed, feeling envious.
The voices of the two gradually faded away. Li Muran originally planned to let the two leave, but when he heard the words "Western Regions", "killing millions of mortals", "receiving life souls", etc., he couldn't help but feel angry.
"It turns out that this person also has a part in the massacre of the city in Liangzhou," Li Muran said in his heart.
When Li Muran took over the position of the leader of the Tianshan Sect from Xingchenzi, he personally promised that he would do his best to maintain the Tianshan Sect and ensure the safety of hundreds of millions of mortals in the Western Liang Kingdom.
Li Muran has always done what he said and kept his promise. After Xingchenzi passed away, he was in charge of Tianshan Sect for many years. The situation was calm and Tianshan Sect had no internal and external troubles. He was the only one who traveled. However, now, Liangzhou, the capital of Xiliang Kingdom at the foot of Tianshan Sect, was slaughtered by one million by the five major demon sects in one day. How could Li Muran ignore such a deep blood hatred?
Li Muran's figure flashed and quietly followed the two demon cultivators.
The two demon cultivators were still talking and laughing, and were completely unaware of Li Muran who was hiding two or three hundred feet away behind him.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man in his early real body looked back behind him.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother Zhou?" the old man asked.
"Nothing." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Strange, there seems to be a few fire demons remaining here."
"What's so strange?" said the old man: "The fire monsters and fire monsters we encountered along the way, and there were fewer stone talisman restrictions. If it weren't for the actions of a few great monks, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to break through the mountain at all. Judging from the great elder's intention, it seems that he was going to the highest point, which would be quite difficult."
The middle-aged man nodded and stopped talking.
Li Muran felt relieved. He flashed out from behind a huge rock and continued to follow quietly, waiting for the most appropriate time.
Two demon cultivators walked into a hall one after another.
This hall has only two exits in front and back, and it is not too wide.
