Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Meng Zhao pondered for a while and finally concluded that it should be a combination of both.

The Demon Corpse did have the intention of passing on his magic, because in order to break the confusion and entrapment of his soul in this illusory world, he had to escape into the Heavenly Dao of this illusory world, touch the wonders of the Heavenly Dao, and comprehend many of the magic secrets and magical powers from it, so as to break through the boundary between reality and illusion.

Meng Zhao's own abnormality is also an indispensable part, because, if it were not Meng Zhao, and he were transformed into an ordinary celestial being and encountered this situation, even if he had learned the secret magic skills, he would be seriously injured because of the magic light that polluted his soul, and it would be hard to say when he could truly break through this level of trial.

At least, the opponent would never be like Meng Zhao, who could break it with a snap of his fingers, with extreme ease.

It was not like experiencing a life-and-death trial at all, but more like a person strolling freely and happily in an afternoon garden party.

"Well, you are able to break through my secret world, which is indeed extraordinary. What did you realize?"

The voice of the demon corpse Xuan Jiao was faint. She was indeed surprised. Meng Zhao's actions were too fast. According to her estimation, it would take Meng Zhao at least several hours, or even a day or two, to break through the barrier of the virtual world.

However, reality told her that she had underestimated the person whom Cui Hong had high hopes for. The other party's ability was far beyond her expectations.

She felt that something was wrong with her vigilance. Although her Demonic Corpse Dao Fruit was based on corpses, the magic arts involved were also mysterious and varied. Combined with the Dao of corpses, the two were combined into one. Although not unique in the world, it was rare.

Meng Zhaoqi's method of cultivation, as well as the aura and demeanor he displayed, were all authentic and righteous methods. How could he break through the barrier of the void world so quickly when they were contaminated by the devil's light and the magic?

Did Meng Zhao use some special magic weapon or magical treasure?

No, absolutely not. The Demon Corpse Xuan Jiao can be very sure that although Meng Zhao is wearing the armor that is entangled with the Supreme Cause and Effect, he did not use the armor himself. He simply broke the upper limit with his own soul, foundation, and cultivation.

What upper limit?
The upper limit of gods and demons!
To put it bluntly, this illusory world of secret consciousness is actually a layer of illusory space and world constructed by the demon corpse Xuan Jiao using his own power of the Tao, which can be mistaken for the real thing and deceive the world.

If she wanted, any injuries Meng Zhao suffered in this world would be the same, and the damage would be reflected on Meng Zhao's flesh in the real world.

Therefore, this is definitely an extremely terrifying supernatural power, and it is driven by the power of Tao, so its power is simply unparalleled.

To some extent and from some perspective, Meng Zhao's background is probably close to that of a god or a demon.

The demon corpse couldn't help but be moved in his heart. The person Cui Hong chose this time was indeed very powerful. Could it be that he could really open the Tower of Ascension and take out the inherited skills left by the peerless god?

Meng Zhao's shoulders were as broad as mountains, and his back was as straight as a pillar of heaven. The Dao rhyme and principles that immersed him in his entire body had not yet completely dissipated.

"In fact, I haven't understood much. I have only dabbled in the way of reality and illusion."

Just hearing these few words, the darkly hidden demon corpse Xuan Jiao seemed to be shocked by something. Halfway through the attack, it took a long time before it sighed,

"No wonder you were able to break through my test so quickly. You are indeed amazing. Cui Hong thinks highly of you for a reason!"

The Demon Corpse Xuan Jiao did indeed construct a series of magic secrets and magical powers within the Heavenly Dao of that secret world. However, in fact, the essence she inherited was the Dao of Reality and Illusion, which was also closely related to her Demon Corpse Dao Fruit.

Originally, she thought that Meng Zhao had only comprehended the secret magic skills. At the same time, the power of his soul was too strong, and he used this force to break the barrier between the secret world and the real world.

However, the facts proved that she still underestimated Meng Zhao. She never thought that this young man could use his celestial cultivation to see through the greatest fortune of the secret world, which is the application and comprehension of the way of reality and illusion.

Meng Zhao turned towards an unknown direction, bowed and thanked,
"Although Senior Demon Corpse is interested in testing me, he is also interested in cultivating me. Meng Zhao is very grateful!"

This direction was clearly empty, but after Meng Zhao made this action, an illusory human figure gradually emerged.

A woman, almost the same as Cui Hong, with plump flesh and fair skin, a woman who can be described as a beauty on earth.

However, her eyes were covered by a layer of black light, and there was a magic pattern between her eyebrows. The moment she appeared, the magic pattern between her eyebrows seemed like a living thing, which gave people present great shock and uneasiness.

The demon corpse Xuan Jiao, no one could have imagined that she was actually a demon corpse that had achieved enlightenment, because no matter how you looked at her, she looked like a charming and seductive demon woman who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Although Hong Gu is equally beautiful, her temperament is more inclined towards glamorous beauty, a beauty with a strong aura, beautiful but not coquettish.

This black shark is different. It is indeed very beautiful, but at the same time, it has a fascinating magic quality.

No wonder she was called the Demon Corpse. There was indeed a reason for it.

Hong Gu snorted coldly.
"You have good intentions. Why, seeing that my little brother Meng is handsome, strong, and has great potential, you have become interested and want to increase your investment?"

Although it was a bit indecent, when the demon corpse raised its butt, she knew what it was going to do.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of fairy tales are they playing?

Even the sudden attack in the Demon Corpse Valley seemed more of a test than the previous one.

Gu Tong’s idea is also very simple, to see what your quality is like and whether you are worth investing in and winning over.

Facts have proved that Meng Zhao is still tough. He then stopped shouting for war and his intentions were obvious.

As for the fact that Meng Zhao didn't survive, it only proves that Hong Gu's vision is as bad as ever. If he dies, he dies. What's the big deal?
The Demon Corpse Xuan Jiao chuckled, and had no special reaction to Hong Gu's sarcasm. He just looked at Meng Zhao and said slowly,

“You have great potential, and your physique and bloodline are also good. Perhaps you have a 10% to 20% chance of inheriting that person’s supreme martial arts.

I sincerely hope that you can take out the inheritance, and then we can be free!"

Xuan Jiao's words seemed very strange, but Meng Zhao suddenly felt that everything was not so difficult to understand.

Perhaps, this inheritance, that is, the emperor's unique skills left behind by that strong man, involves the celestial corpse and the backup plan he left behind.

If Meng Zhao can really succeed, it will bring about some huge changes to the Tianshi Ancient City.

For example, killing or sealing the celestial corpse.

In this way, the remaining five corpse demons may be able to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Corpse, and from then on they can jump as fish in the vast sea and fly as birds in the high sky.

It would be fine if he was muddle-headed, without any intelligence or self-awareness, and it would not be a big deal if he allowed the heavenly corpse to bully him and order him around.

But the key is that each of the five corpse demons is a powerful god-demon level, born from death, and each of them must have his own little thoughts. To paraphrase Lu Bu's old saying, a real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under others for a long time?
The five great gods and demons may not necessarily be willing to serve as the Heavenly Corpse's younger brothers and be ordered around like dogs all day long.

Wouldn't it be nice to walk out of this Tianshi Ancient City by yourself, become the king outside and dominate the world?
The most obvious example is actually Maggie Cheung.

Since she was born as a beautiful corpse, it was obvious that she must have been a subordinate of the Heavenly Corpse in the past, and maybe one of the five great corpse demons.

However, later on, she met a noble man and received support. From then on, she soared to fame and was able to stay in the Tianshi Ancient City without having to give face to the Tianshi. She became independent and lived freely.

Meng Zhao just didn't believe that other corpse demons could watch and not be tempted or jealous at all?
At this time, he also understood this point through the words and actions of the demon corpse and the devil corpse.

In fact, Hong Gu had already left them far behind and had been free and easy for who knows how long. It was only because of that man's arrangement that she had been tirelessly searching for someone who could inherit her martial arts.

The demon corpses and monster corpses just want to see if Meng Zhao can break the suppression of the heavenly corpses. If he can succeed, that would be the best. If he fails, it’s actually no big deal.

This is also the reason why the two men were arrogant at first and respectful later, why they were ruthless at first and seemed to provide help to him later.

It's not a contradiction. As long as we figure out what these people are thinking, we will find that all their actions are not without reason.

Meng Zhao figured all this out at this time, and felt a little pressured.

He never thought that he could not learn that man's imperial skills, but he was a little worried that after learning it, he would really become a chess piece and become a vanguard in the battle against the Heavenly Corpse.

By then, when he faces the Heavenly Corpse, he is not sure what the outcome will be. Just in case, just in case, something goes wrong, and he doesn't know how much he will suffer before he can escape from here.

But then again, if he didn't have the potential in this area, and hadn't been recognized and supported by Hong Gu, and even the demon corpses and monster corpses, I'm afraid these three corpse demons would not have allowed him to breathe freely here, and would have killed him long ago.

To be able to live so freely, one must pay a price. However, this price will not be realized immediately, but there is a certain lag.

Meng Zhao's heart moved, and he said,
“My fellow seniors, you may not know that the reason I was able to come to this ancient battlefield space this time was because of the invitation from the descendant of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

In addition, there are many celestial warriors with impressive inheritances, and they all join in.

In my opinion, the descendants of the Heavenly Demon Palace must have set their sights on a certain inheritance within the Heavenly Corpse Ancient City, and that’s why they want to gather so many experts to come in and explore together.”

Of course, Meng Zhao didn't say this without any purpose or intention to cause trouble, but he wanted to use the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace to share the pressure on his side.

He always remembered a saying: Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

These people, including Hong Gu who seemed to have no hostility or malice towards him, were essentially not human beings, but corpse demons who were reborn from the dead and were truly big-time existences.

Your attitude towards him may not always be consistent. If he is valuable now, you may be able to win over a few people, but if he loses his value in the future, you may not know what the outcome will be.

Therefore, Meng Zhao would add a layer of insurance for himself to divert some attention.

Since the Lord of the Demon Palace is so powerful, even these corpse demons don't seem willing to push him too far, lest both sides suffer a loss. Naturally, he has to add some ingredients to create some momentum for the Lord of the Demon Palace.

Upon hearing this, the demon corpses and the monster corpses looked at each other in bewilderment. This was really not good news.

According to Tianshi's request, no living people are allowed to exist in this huge Tianshi ancient city.

For example, Meng Zhao, Jiang Zixuan, and Hua Xin.

If it weren't for Hong Gu's protection, the three of them might not necessarily die, but they would definitely not be as safe and comfortable as they are now. They might even be trapped in the endless pursuit of the corpse demon.

By the same token, when the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace first entered the Ancient City of Heavenly Corpses, he was also hunted down.

Although the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace has an extraordinary origin and ancient heritage, he does not have much connection with the Tianshi Ancient City.

To put it bluntly, if you are not of the same kind, you will naturally be hunted down.

However, this guy has a lot of cards up his sleeve, and they are very strong.

The blood of the Heavenly Demon, combined with the Heavenly Command, can summon the Dao Shadow of the original Heavenly Demon. If they really fight, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon will have a hard time, and these corpse demons may not be able to gain any benefits!

To put it bluntly, killing some non-threatening people, demon corpses, and devil corpses is still in compliance with the orders of Tianshi. You said you don't want any survivors, so don't leave any survivors. You said no one is allowed to cross the Tianshi Ancient City and go to the Ascension Tower, then no one will have the power to cross.

However, there is another prerequisite, which is not to harm the personal interests and safety of these corpse demons.

It was obvious that the Lord of the Demon Palace was a threat to them. Naturally, these corpse demons who had been reborn from the dead were slacking off and pretending to obey.

It’s probably something like, only a few hundred dollars a month, why bother playing with it!
These corpse demons are even more miserable, they don't even have a few hundred dollars, it's all in vain. The root cause is the suppression and restraint of the Heavenly Corpse on them.

Meng Zhao is fine, as Hong Gu is there to support him. Tianshi knows the interests involved and will not oppress them too much.

But if the Lord of the Demon Palace comes back, it will easily bring disaster to them.

After all, the last time this bastard rampaged in the Tianshi Ancient City and eventually escaped, Tianshi was very dissatisfied and punished them. This time, it might not be so easy to get away with it.

"I remember what you said, and you should also remember that we were able to safely pass through the Ancient City of Heavenly Corpses this time thanks to Hong Gu. Otherwise, you would not have had the chance to leave here."

The demon corpse said one last sentence, and then disappeared from the spot. Also leaving with it was the demon corpse Xuan Jiao.

Jiang Zixuan and Hua Xin both breathed a long sigh of relief, their entire bodies softened and they were completely exhausted.

Meng Zhao looked at Hong Gu carefully, as if hinting at something.
"Hong Gu, don't you want to say something to me?"

He still felt somewhat grateful to Maggie Cheung, especially since until now, Maggie Cheung still had no hostility or malice towards him, but was very supportive instead.

Meng Zhao really hopes that Hong Gu can get straight to the point with him and have a sincere conversation. (End of this chapter)
