"So that's the truth. Even the bloodline memories of the demon race need to be verified with each other."

"No wonder our human race's records on this subject are incomplete, making it impossible to uncover the truth."

Taiwu Daozun's eyes became incredibly deep, as if, through Jiang Shu, he could see a piece of history from countless ages ago that the demon race had deliberately abandoned.

Such sentiments were suppressed by Taiwu Daozun in an instant.

His expression remained unchanged as he followed Jiang Shu down into the dilapidated palace below.

"Gentlemen, we are currently at a loss, but perhaps we can find some clues here."

All the Dao Venerables present nodded slightly upon hearing the words of Dao Venerable Taiwu.

To be honest, if they hadn't subtly inquired and discovered how seriously the demon race was taking this operation, none of the Dao Venerables present would have easily stepped into this place.

Previously, Taiwu Daozun had also suspected that this place might be a trap set by the demon race for them, the human Daozun.

However, when Jiang Shu took out the Jianmu seedling, he immediately abandoned this guess.

When the golden crow's feather appeared, Taiwu Daozun became even more certain.

One by one, the Dao Venerables present flew out and began to explore the ruins.

Unlike the demon race, they didn't have much information and needed to investigate carefully.

Taiwu Daozun did not speak directly, after all, he obtained this information from Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu's intelligence came from Jin Jiao's clone.

This clone may not be of much use right now, as it is constantly hampered by the powerful demons and cannot act easily.

However, once the Golden Horn clone reaches the late stage of Venerable cultivation, it will undoubtedly become the focus of the Dragon Clan.

Many powerful individuals stepped out to collect resources here, each gaining something in return.

However, these finds were mostly scattered, consisting of broken fragments or records in demonic script.

By isolating himself from others' senses, Taiwu Daozun delayed for a little while, then flicked his finger.

In an instant, a golden light suddenly appeared, illuminating all directions.

The golden light was suddenly noticed by the Dao Venerables present, and one figure after another rushed over.

"Taiwu, what have you obtained? Why don't you tell us?"

The sect leader of Dao Yi Sect stood with his hands behind his back and immediately spoke.

He disliked his current situation intensely, even though he was the leader of the number one sect among the eight major sects.

But here, they are all subordinate to Taiwu Daozun.

Taiwu Daozun glanced at him coldly, then spoke:
"Of course, now that we eight sects are of one mind and represent the human race together, how could we hold back?"

Upon hearing these words, the leaders of the other sects all understood.

They immediately realized that Taiwu Daozun was a person who considered the overall situation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Taiwu Daozun gently pinched the golden light, and then with a bang, it slowly shattered.

"This is a place of recorded history. Our previous guesses may have been wrong. This is not the place where the outer realms fell."

Hearing these words, all the Dao Venerables present were filled with doubt.

After the Burning Heaven Ancestor went completely mad, their investigation of this place yielded extremely vague information.

It's just a guess; perhaps it was a demon lord from another realm or a Dao Lord of the human race who fell here, was besieged, and was eventually annihilated.

"Where did we go wrong? Could it be a civil war within the demon race?" Daoist Tianji made a guess, then frowned. "If that's the case, then which demon lord in the history of the demon race..."

"Heh... Don't you all understand after the great battle just now?"

Taiwu Daozun sighed and spoke meaningfully.
The big battle just now?
In the next instant, everyone immediately understood, and then remembered the owner of that golden feather—the Golden Crow.

"good."

Taiwu Daozun nodded slightly, glanced at Jiang Shu almost imperceptibly, and then spoke:
"As far as I know, are you familiar with the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race?"

The Heavenly Court of the Demon Race!?
Upon hearing these words, all the Dao Venerables present were slightly shaken.

Although the demon race is called a single race, in reality, there are countless races.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Demon Realm had no concept of demons at all; it was just a wild and untamed region with another name.

Perhaps it was the invasion of foreign races, or the oppression of powerful enemies; in any case, under the terrifying pressure of external forces, the many races of the Demon Realm had no choice but to unite.

This was a last resort, but it also brought the concept of the demon race to the forefront of the universe.

After all, the numerous races within the demon race wouldn't merge together for no reason.

Even among humans of the same bloodline, there are various sects, families, forces, and so on.

Moreover, they are not even a member of the demon race.

Once they unite, there will inevitably be a central figure, which is what Taiwu Daozun referred to as the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

However, the history of the Heavenly Court is too ancient, and many of the human powerhouses present almost subconsciously overlooked this behemoth that existed in the past.

Even today's imperial palace is far inferior to the former Heavenly Court of the Demon Race in terms of control and prestige over the myriad races of the demon race.

"Legend has it that the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was not built on the land of the Demon Realm, unlike the current Imperial Palace, which stands in the sea of ​​lava."

"The original Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan was a small world that had almost fully evolved, standing in the sky, overlooking all things like the sun, and supported by three great divine trees."

The Three Sacred Trees!?
Many of the Dao Venerables present took a slightly deeper breath.

The three sacred trees recognized by the cultivation world are, in short, the Fusang Ancient Tree, the Jianmu Tree, and the Ruomu Tree.

The Jianmu tree has already fallen into Jiang Shu's hands. Its greatest function is its unparalleled spatial control ability, which can connect the heavens and the earth and shift the universe.

The Fusang Ancient Tree and the Ruomu Tree are the places where the sun rises and sets, and they also symbolize the Great Way of Creation and the Great Way of Destruction.

The Demon Clan's Heavenly Court was incredibly powerful back then, capable of ruling over the entire Demon Clan.

The Golden Crow clan is the one that inherits the throne of the Heavenly Court of the demon race.

However, nowadays, it is difficult to see the Golden Crow in the entire Demon Realm.

"In other words..." The sect leader of the Hidden Sword Sect turned around, looking down at the vast ruins, and spoke in a low voice:
"In other words, this place is not just an ancient battlefield, but very likely the site where the demon race's heavenly court fell?"

Upon hearing this, many powerful figures in the arena fell silent.

The place where the heavens fell.

They suddenly understood why these fragments were scattered throughout the demon realm, in more than ten different locations.

It is likely that the three divine trees were destroyed in the successive battles, losing their support, and the demon race's heavenly court was directly shattered and fell to the ground.

Within the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, there are remnants of powerful figures from various demon races, which can create different resource points.

However, due to the fall of powerful figures, including the Demon Lord, the danger was so extreme that even the most powerful demons dared not venture into the area.

In an instant, all the Dao Venerable experts present showed expressions of sudden realization, as if all the doubts they had had in the past had been connected in an instant.

The Golden Feather! The Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan!

Three sacred trees!

……

"In other words, the Great Dao Heavenly Sound we encountered back then was caused by the fall of a certain demon lord during the battle when the Heavenly Court fell."

Jiang Shu's eyes narrowed slightly. He was also sorting through his findings when something suddenly occurred to him.

Not only him, but Taiwu Daozun, who was standing to the side, also recalled the key points and immediately spoke up, uttering four words.

"Ancestor Burning Heaven".

Yes, it's the Burning Heaven Ancestor!

That half-mad old phoenix is ​​the key to this matter.

Jiang Shu's eyes narrowed, and he said:
"Legend has it that when the Golden Crow clan reached its peak, it had as many as three Demon Lords. Perhaps one of them cultivated the Great Dao of Fire. Back then, the Burning Heaven Ancestor went mad trying to rush into it. Could it be..."

This was something even Jinjiao didn't know. At this moment, he raised his hand to speculate and suddenly thought of some key points.

Upon hearing the two's deductions, the Daoist Master present, who had personally witnessed the events of that day, spoke up:
"Could it be that, could it be that deep within those ruins, there wasn't only the bronze door, but also the remnants of a Fire Dao Demon Lord from the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court?!"

After hearing this, everyone present felt as if they had been enlightened.

No wonder!
No wonder Ancestor Burning Heaven lost his mind and kept increasing his strength. Although he had completely reached the limit, his strength was constantly approaching the level of a true Dao Lord.

Perhaps the complete remains of a Dao Lord from that day were hidden among them, and were swallowed whole by the Burning Heaven Ancestor who had lost control of himself.

"The Burning Heaven Ancestor lost his reason due to the Myriad Spirits Forging Venerable Array. And the body of the fallen Demon Lord is filled with the will of Heaven. If he doesn't go mad, then there's no justice in the world!"

Taiwu Daozun sighed deeply.

The bodies of the Dao Lord and the Demon Lord will eventually merge into heaven and earth due to the influence of the Heavenly Dao.

The Great Dao Heavenly Sound is an adjunct to this process.

Originally, the Burning Heaven Ancestor's will was very chaotic. Perhaps it was because he swallowed the body of the Demon Lord, which was full of the will of Heaven, that he went mad, but he was more in line with the Heavenly Dao!

The Daoist masters present began to calculate, and as they put all the conditions together, they became increasingly convinced that this was exactly what had happened back then.

There may be some deviations, but it's pretty close to the truth.

The reason why the Demon Lord and the Dao Lord did not take action was to shrink themselves and resist the omnipresent will of Heaven.

Jiang Shu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said:
"If that's the case, then during this process, isn't Ancestor Burning Heaven deepening his progress towards Dao every single second?"

God and Tao unite; Heaven and humanity are one.

These eight words encapsulate everything the Demon Lord and Dao Lord experienced.

With each step this process takes, the Demon Lord and Dao Lord's strength increases, but the erosion also becomes more severe.

"good."

The Dao Yi Sect leader, unusually agreeing with Jiang Shu, then spoke:
"If my prediction is correct, as long as Ancestor Burning Heaven doesn't completely merge with the Heavenly Dao, his cultivation will continue to rise every second, perhaps..."

He pondered for a moment, then guessed and said, "Once it is completely assimilated by the Heavenly Dao and about to merge into the world, it will truly step into the realm of the Demon Lord."

Everyone was startled by what they heard, but they quickly came to their senses.

Even if the Burning Heaven Ancestor was incredibly strong and truly reached the Demon Lord realm, his mind was already filled with the will of Heaven.

It is utterly unusable and irrational.

"It is possible that the moment he steps into the realm of the Demon Lord, he will be completely assimilated by heaven and earth and perish directly, becoming the Demon Lord with the shortest existence in history."

The leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect chuckled, a hint of mockery in his voice.

"However, he may still be able to unleash the power of a demon lord in this brief moment, to deal with us or any living beings he sees," Taiwu Daozun said again.

He had witnessed the state of the Burning Heaven Ancestor after he went mad.

They were desperate to burn and destroy everything!
If someone were to ascend to the Demon Lord realm, even for just a moment, it would be an absolute catastrophe.

At this moment, Jiang Shu also understood why the demon race wanted to suppress the Burning Heaven Ancestor instead of killing him to avoid trouble.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should still be some methods left behind by the Golden Crow here!"

"And the Burning Heaven Ancestor is undoubtedly the most suitable vanguard for the king."

"After all, a beast that is infinitely close to the Dao Lord and has the hope of stepping into the Instant Realm is somewhat valuable."

Jiang Shu spoke in a low voice.

All the Daoist masters present nodded slightly in approval.

"In that case, where should we go now?"

The sect leader of Danfu Sect stroked his long beard and asked curiously.

They were able to find this place because the fighting just now was so loud.

Afterwards, those who are strong will inevitably have to conceal or restrict themselves, making it extremely difficult for them to search again.

Once these demons complete their schemes and plans, the human race may find itself at a disadvantage in the struggle.

After all, this is where the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court fell to earth!
"This……"

Upon hearing these words, Taiwu Daozun was at a loss for words.

He turned to look at Jiang Shu, his eyes filled with anticipation. Undoubtedly, at this moment, he could only hope that Jiang Shu had some plans.

Not only him, but all the Dao Venerables present looked at Jiang Shu.

This is……

Jiang Shu gave a bitter smile to himself.

Clearly, these Dao Venerables all hoped that they could step forward.

However, the reason he was able to find the core object, the Jianmu tree, was because of the World Tree's desire for it.

His only remaining option might be to rely on the connection between his clone and his main body to blend in with Golden Horn.

Just as he was pondering, Jiang Shu suddenly paused, as if he had gained some insight.

"Wait, what I sensed when I first ventured into that ruin might not have been the Jianmu tree."

He suddenly realized what was happening.

If their previous speculation about the Burning Heaven Ancestor was correct, then the Burning Heaven Ancestor's strength increased dramatically after he devoured the remains of a Fire Dao Martial Emperor, and he went mad.

If the fragment of the small world containing the Jianmu tree were located here, it would surely be burned to ashes by the irrational Burning Heaven Ancestor.

But no!
Jiang Shu, however, found the Jianmu tree behind the bronze gate.

Perhaps the things he targeted on both occasions were not the same.

"Perhaps, besides the Jianmu tree, there are other things in this battlefield where the Heavenly Court fell that could attract the World Tree within me. Those would definitely be extraordinary treasures." (End of Chapter)
