All that could be seen in the palace was an empty, desolate place, except for one thing; there were not even any ruins or corpses.

The only thing that exists is a golden wing!

The wings looked as if they were carved from gold, yet they swayed slightly in the breeze, and at their base, there was a faint trace of what seemed to be immortal divine blood!

This single wing almost suffocated the demon lords present, making them want to bow down in worship as if it were an instinct.

Even Ao Qing's legs trembled at this moment. He vaguely saw a terrifying being, high above, overlooking all ages, and extremely powerful, casting a gaze at him across the ages.

At this moment, the only one present who remained calm was Golden Horn, whose cultivation level was arguably the lowest.

Golden Horn stood proudly, its half-dragon, half-human body ramrod straight, blood flowing around it, accompanied by the roar of a dragon. A phantom image of an ancestral dragon circled around it, roaring incessantly at the golden wings, as if responding to a provocation.

After a long while, Ao Qing managed to recover somewhat. He slowly turned his head and slapped Jin Jiao.

"The bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon is indeed extraordinary. It can be passively released when it encounters the relics of the Demon Lord. Otherwise, with your cultivation level, you would probably be inferior to all of us."

"Ancestor, what should we do next?"

He was slapped by Ao Qing.

Jinjiao also regained some of his senses.

Previously, he was only influenced by the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, but now, looking at the golden feathers, his eyes were filled with horror.

I am absolutely certain that those wings came from a demon lord.

That demon lord was even more powerful than the current demon lord of the dragon race.

It is important to know that if a Demon Lord or Dao Lord wants to climb to a higher realm, they need to pay a higher price than Dao Venerable, Demon Venerable, or even other levels.

Because they have reached the end of the Great Dao and have mastered the entirety of their own Great Dao!

Perhaps in the beginning, those newly promoted demon lords were able to continuously improve their cultivation by becoming familiar with and refining the natural laws of heaven and earth.

But in the end, when it comes to improving oneself again, one can only look to the Heavenly Dao.

This will inevitably come at the cost of conforming to the Tao, so we must be extremely cautious.

Therefore, at the level of Demon Lord, birth, bloodline, and identity are no longer the most important factors.

What truly matters is one's own character, talent, and abilities.

"The ancestor has ordered that if we encounter any remnants of that being, we must destroy them. In that case, that golden feather must be destroyed."

Ao Qing's words were resolute and left no room for argument.

This is not only the intention of the Dragon Clan, but also the intention of the Phoenix Clan.

No demon lord present dared to object, because they too had received the same decree.

"Let's do it."

Ao Qing took a breath and, as before, stepped into the palace before the many powerful figures.

boom!
As soon as his right foot landed, a terrifying aura erupted instantly, as if sensing the arrival of an intruder.

In an instant, the bright golden feather trembled slightly and burst forth with a vast crimson-gold flame!
The flames quickly enveloped the golden feather, which then transformed into the shape of a demonic beast.

Upon seeing the demonic beast, Ao Qing and the other demon lords immediately became extremely solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

It was a demonic beast composed of pure crimson-gold flames, with two wings, a sun wheel on its back, and a leg on its belly, as majestic and vast as the sun itself.

Before this being, even the dragon Ao Qing was like a crawling insect, utterly insignificant.

At this moment, four words simultaneously came to mind for many demon lords—Golden Crow Demon Lord!
Sensing the aura that carried a hint of the Demon Lord's charm, a melodious and desolate dragon roar emanated from the golden scale on Ao Qing's body, as if thunder had resounded between heaven and earth.

……

At the same time, Jiang Shu and the leader of the Tiankui Sect obtained the Jianmu tree and immediately headed towards the bronze gate.

Driven by the spatial avenue, the two moved at an extremely fast speed, and in no time at all, they arrived in front of the bronze gate.

The gate was still standing and there was no problem.

"Fortunately!"

Jiang Shushang showed a hint of relief, placed one hand on the door, and slowly pushed the bronze door open.

A moment later, the aura of the Great Dao of Space emanated out, and the two stepped into it without hesitation.

A dizzying sensation swept over them, but within a few breaths, the scene before them vanished, and they returned to the underground ruins they had been in before.

Almost immediately, the two activated their techniques to prevent any unforeseen events.

Just now, the sect leader of the Hidden Sword Sect led the other Dao Venerables away to prevent the influence of the Great Dao Heavenly Sound.

They are now on high alert to prevent any problems from arising.

At that moment, a deep, resonant, and magnetic voice suddenly came from afar.

Many figures walked towards them, one of whom was none other than the Taiwu Daozun, who was dressed in a white robe and whose presence was as imposing as an ancient divine mountain!
"That Great Dao Heavenly Sound has already been completely obliterated by us at the cost of our own efforts."

Beside him were powerful figures such as the leader of the Hidden Sword Sect and the leader of the Dao Yi Sect.

Seeing so many powerful human warriors, Jiang Shu breathed a slight sigh of relief, signifying the absolute safety of the area.

"You seem to have been through a fierce battle. What happened?"

Taiwu Daozun asked, his eyes deep and unfathomable, clearly indicating that this place had undergone new changes.

"Sect Leader, the gains this time are truly substantial..."

Jiang Shu remained expressionless and spoke in a low voice, transmitting his thoughts.

"We explored this place and discovered the existence of the demon lords. After dealing with them, we found a fragment of a small world."

"Inside, we found a seedling of Jianmu, one of the three great sacred trees."

Jianmu!?
Upon hearing this, even with his thousand years of experience, Taiwu Daozun couldn't help but feel a sharp pang in his heart.

That's the Jianmu tree! In its heyday, it was even revered as a divine tree by the demon race.

Now, after so many years, this divine tree has been hidden in such a remote place, and what is even more surprising is that this divine tree has fallen into the hands of the human race again.

"Cultivate it carefully, and don't let others know."

Taiwu Daozun transmitted his voice without hesitation.

Although the Jianmu tree is just a sapling, which of these sects hasn't been around for over a thousand years?

It would take several thousand more years to cultivate the Jianmu tree.

At that time, the foundation of the True Martial Sect will be further enhanced!
"do not worry."

Jiang Shu nodded immediately.

He's always been the type to make a fortune quietly, so how could he possibly reveal the Jianmu matter so easily?

As for the leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect?
The two sides are already in an alliance, and may even share the Jianmu tree in the future. How could they just make things up and allow other sects to get involved?

Especially the Dao Yi Sect.

This area originally belonged to the Dao Yi Sect. Now, a Jianmu seedling has been discovered here. If the Tiankui Sect leader were to reveal this information...

When Dao Yi Sect also gets involved, even Jianmu might have to be separated.

Intelligent people don't need to communicate too much, and Jiang Shu believed that the sect leader understood this principle.

In a short while, Jiang Shu recounted the whole story, excluding Jianmu!
This time, however, he only concealed part of the truth, revealing the rest openly without using telepathy.

Many powerful figures had come because of the news brought by the Hidden Sword Sect's leader, and now, having heard firsthand intelligence, they were immediately shocked. At this moment, the Hidden Sword Sect leader spoke, his voice cold and sharp like the clang of a sword.

“I have already investigated. In the border areas, the demon race’s power has shrunk, and they have even abandoned many territories. In many places, only half-demons remain.”

Jiang Shu's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately understood what this meant.

This means that even if the demon race is willing to pay the price of losing a large amount of territory, they will concentrate their efforts on exploring that forbidden land.

Without a doubt, that perilous place must contain unimaginable wealth, enough to make the demon race take the risk.

"Therefore, I brought many powerful individuals with me."

Taiwu Daozun immediately spoke, his deep voice carrying a hint of determination.

They will stop anything the demon race wants to do. Now the fortunes of the two races are in a state of ebb and flow, and neither can easily back down.

"However, that force of repulsion from heaven and earth..."

Jiang Shu began to speak.

That force of repulsion from heaven and earth transformed into a black undercurrent.

It is all-pervasive, and even Dao Venerables like them have to constantly drive their power to resist it.

"No need to worry."

The sect leader of Dao Yi Sect chuckled, his voice tinged with sarcasm:
"Boy, although the Dao Lords of the major sects will not take action this time, and cannot take action, they can still provide some means."

"If the heavens and earth reject us, there are naturally ways to deal with it."

In the past, the Dao Yi Sect leader would never have spoken to Jiang Shu like that.

But at this moment, if it weren't for Jiang Shu, this kind of forbidden land should have been exclusively enjoyed by their Dao Yi Sect.

Where would the current situation arise where other sects also want a piece of the pie?

The powerful figures present exchanged glances, and Taiwu Daozun raised his hand, a stream of light immediately appearing in his palm.

In an instant, Jiang Shu sensed the aura of the Great Dao of Time, which was of extremely high status, within that stream of light!

"This is……"

Jiang Shu looked up and saw those things clearly.

The shape of the object was that of a huge rock and a long nail overlapping on a flat surface.

It was extremely simple, as if it were made by an ordinary child using stones or other common materials. If you just threw it on the roadside, it would be completely inconspicuous.

However, Jiang Shu sensed an extraordinary power within it.

Taiwu Daozun chuckled and spoke:
"This object is called the Xuan Tian Sundial. It contains the Great Dao of Time that is beyond our imagination. Holding this object, one can barely perform some time manipulation that only a Dao Lord can do. Of course, it consumes a lot of resources, and this object also has a certain number of uses and limitations."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu took a deep breath.

Although the Taiwu Daozun mentioned many restrictions, there is no doubt that this item is extremely precious!

It can even serve as the ultimate foundation of a sect.

With this item in hand, even an ordinary Dao Venerable can fight across levels, since the Great Dao of Time is almost unsolvable in the face of a powerful person who does not understand it.

Even if it costs a lot, it's absolutely worth it.

"Alright, this time I will personally lead the team to enter and see what it's like."

Taiwu Daozun spoke, turning his head to look at the many Venerables present.

"Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, the many venerable ones present smiled and nodded, offering no further objections.

Even the sect leader of Dao Yi only frowned at this moment and did not say anything more.

Although this place was first occupied by their Dao Yi Sect.

But what they entered and discovered was Jiang Shu.

Moreover, because of Jiang Shu's existence, the True Martial Sect's understanding of the matter must exceed their imagination.

After the discussion, the dozen or so powerful Dao Venerables stepped through the bronze door.

Almost instantly, countless black currents surged forth, like sharks smelling blood.

Taiwu Daozun raised an eyebrow, then flicked his finger, and a thick, powerful aura of the Five Elements Dao spread out, forcibly isolating those forces from the outside.

It has become its own sacred space!

The five elements cycle, with mutual restraint and mutual generation.

The resulting training ground is the most stable and resilient.

As Taiwu Daozun made his move, the other powerful figures also began to use their own methods to help him isolate himself from the outside world.

Countless dark currents tried to erode it, but found it difficult to penetrate; any places they managed to get through were quickly replenished.

"Indeed, it also has different wonderful uses."

Jiang Shu nodded to himself. Exploring the Great Dao of Power, the Great Dao of Desolation, the Great Dao of Creation, and so on in cultivation can be of great help in combat, but in the current situation, the benefits are indeed not significant.

Although he also comprehended the Five Elements Dao.

However, he hasn't progressed very far in the Five Elements Dao, only comparable to some Dao Lords of the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

In such a scenario, using the Five Elements Dao is far less effective than using other Daos to create a Daoist temple.

"Don't stray too far from me, and don't make a move rashly, or you'll break the dojo."

Taiwu Daozun spoke calmly.

"No need to say more, we naturally understand!"

The Dao Yi Sect leader nodded somewhat impatiently, then said, "Just go ahead."

"We should go..."

Jiang Shu then pointed in a direction.

After all, he had vaguely sensed that his clone, Golden Horn, had also arrived in this world.

Without a doubt, Golden Horn's current status is that of the Dragon Clan's Crown Prince. Those powerful Dragon Clan members would not bring him here to deliver the spoils; they would bring him here to compete for resources and benefits.

Therefore, that must be one of the main directions of attack for the demon race.

Although this might affect Jin Jiao's identity, Jiang Shu couldn't care less about it at the moment.

After all, many powerful human warriors had already gathered there.

Regardless of what the demon race is planning to do.

In the past, there were never any problems.

However, just as he was about to point out a direction, his pupils suddenly contracted.

It's like I noticed something.

His gaze suddenly turned to look outside.

Not only him, but all the powerful figures present were looking in the same direction.

In the distance, amidst the dim light of the world, a ray of light, as bright as the sun, suddenly rose from the ground, piercing the heavens and illuminating the world! (End of Chapter)
