The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 492 Climbing the Jianmu Tree, but Not Seeing the Immortal

"So we're going to climb up there? To find the gods?"

"He is the founder of the three religions."

"Isn't that a deity?"

"That makes sense."

Wang Ping'an and Bai Amin engaged in a question-and-answer session.

This explains why a large group of human elites gathered under this big tree.

It was now the second day since they returned from the sea.

The reason they decided to climb Jianmu on the second day was because what the leader of the human camp said on the first day when they came to observe Jianmu came true. After observing Jianmu for two hours, they suddenly felt that their bodies were out of their control, and then they watched helplessly as their legs flew out of the thirty-mile radius of Jianmu.

Such a bizarre sight stunned them.

But this doesn't stop them from gathering under the tree again today to do what Wang Ping'an calls a "mythical legend".

"The Amazing Swordsman?" Wang Ping'an suddenly spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

The customers of the tavern where he used to work were also the characters at the beginning of a trivial incident that occurred when his life underwent a dramatic change.

Although they had some exchanges later, their relationship was not deep. He only had a deep relationship with Bai Amin, the disciple of the Amazing Swordsman.

"What? I signed up and got accepted, can't I go?" the Swift Swordsman asked with a smile.

Wang Ping'an fell silent, realizing that the human race had indeed reached a critical moment of life and death.

Why can't these demons be eradicated?

The Swordsman Jinghong's swordsmanship is now extremely high, comparable to that of a former gang elder. He should have been in charge of the camp, but the human race has suffered repeated blows. They fought several battles with demons, but although they won, they were still defeated and lost many experts. The demons were also suppressed for a period of time.

However, the demons soon returned, and during this period, the human race also experienced an internal strife. Some ambitious individuals wanted to take advantage of the vacancies in the human forces to seize their positions, and then, with the internal conflicts escalating, a great battle ensued.

This resulted in the loss of many skilled players.

The demons returned, sweeping across the human world like locusts, rapidly multiplying and spreading. Large swathes of human territory were lost. In response, the human race united to fight against the demons, and many powerful warriors sacrificed themselves to perish together with the demon king.

After the human race lost its momentum, it began various experiments to try to combat demons. Such attempts required the loss of human experts, such as sending Wang Ping'an and others to the Southeast Sea to search for extraterrestrial stones.

Through these repeated attempts, human experts have been sacrificed one by one, and now there are not many left.

Normally, a master like the Amazing Swordsman should have stayed at the camp and wouldn't have participated in such an experiment.

But now he's here too.

Therefore, Wang Ping'an believed that the human race no longer had many elite experts.

His surprise was naturally noticed by the Swordsman Jinghong, and his thoughts were guessed as well.

But humanity has indeed come this far, so there's not much to explain. This attempt at "mythology," while not the last, may be the penultimate or third.

There's no way around it, the demons are just too... outrageous.

Moreover, it is becoming increasingly bizarre, as if it has traversed the course of human civilization development that took tens of thousands of years in just three short years.

Initially, demons could not be said to have their own civilization; they were more like wild beasts or special individuals altered by spiritual energy, and at that time they were known as monsters.

Then, two years ago, the demons began to show signs of civilization, following the path of human civilization.

A year ago, the human race couldn't understand how far the demon civilization had developed. They had already evolved their own unique civilization based on the human civilization.

Now, humans feel as if they are being kept and observed by demons.

After painstakingly deducing the truth, some wise men of the human race came to the conclusion that the world had changed, the Great Dao had been distorted by external forces, and it was no longer suitable for human survival.

If humanity wants to continue to survive, it can only adapt to the world and become part of the demons, just like some of the original demons.

As for why the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth became distorted, the reason was ultimately attributed to that strange stone from outer space.

In order to avoid turning into demons, the human race wanted to find what they believed to be the source of all the accidents—the strange stone from outer space.

Of course, they also went to the old site of the Three Religions Mountain Gate to look for clues.

But in the end, there were no answers. Only Wang Ping'an and his team achieved results on this voyage.

That is why we attempted to climb the Jianmu tree.

"We don't have much time, let's climb the Jianmu first." The Swift Swordsman pulled himself out of his thoughts.

There were a total of thirty-six people, all of whom were grandmasters and elites of the human race, including a grandmaster like the Amazing Swordsman who had cultivated his primordial spirit.

Before the chaos caused by demons and monsters arose, it was easy for them to ascend to the heights of thousands of feet, easily reaching the clouds and looking down upon all living beings.

Now, not only are demons everywhere on earth, but there are also flying demons in the sky who have built so-called Sky Royal Cities, claiming the sky as their domain. Not to mention humans, even demons on earth will be blocked by those magical treasures called Sky Royal Cities when they fly over a certain height. If they are demons, they will be warned, and humans will naturally attack them directly.

"The sword light can travel a thousand miles in a flash. We should be able to reach the top of this tree in two hours," Bai Amin boasted, gazing at the tree canopy that had been completely submerged in the sea of ​​clouds.

"Stop spouting nonsense and let's go." The Swift Swordsman glared at him.

Then he looked around at everyone, shouted, and made a promise: "The first to ascend will be taught the Taoist Immortal Sword."

In fact, all the human race's various traditions are now gathered together and can be viewed by everyone. Even the secret arts of the three religions, which were kept secret in the past, are now open to anyone to learn.

However, since the senior swordsman Jinghong had made a promise, no one could object.

Then someone set off first.

It rose with the wind, transforming into a streak of azure light, and in an instant it was already a thousand feet high in the sky.

"Haha, Xu Pingyuan, you're too slow, too slow." An acquaintance directly rode his flying sword, which he had refined with his blood and sweat for many years, and became one with the sword, traveling hundreds of miles and leaving his friend behind in an instant.

One person finishes their act and another takes the stage, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.

"Wang Ping'an, old man, I'm off first." Bai A'ming also controlled a hiltless flying sword, which transformed into sword light and disappeared into the sky.

Finally, Wang Ping'an glanced at the Amazing Swordsman and asked him to go first.

The Swordsman Jinghong was not going to give way either.

boom!

He mastered a body-sword technique, refining flying sword artifacts into his body and then refining them together with his physical body. While others had to merge their body and sword into one, he directly transformed into sword light.

With immense power and weight, like dragons and snakes rising from the land, the swift swordsman has also departed.

Finally, Wang Ping'an greeted the human leader again, then used his sword-body fusion technique to catch up with them.

Flying around the Jianmu tree was unimpeded, and even the demons' Sky Throne could not interfere.

What is on the Jianmu tree?

They felt no fear, only anticipation and hope.

……

Thousands of feet, tens of thousands of feet, ten miles, a hundred miles...

The treetops were still not visible, but the thick clouds had already reached them.

Looking out from here, one can also see more than a hundred demonic sky cities surrounding the great tree.

It is constantly releasing thunder and storms, frost and poisonous mist, and the curses and demonic sounds never cease. All kinds of tangible and colorful, intangible and colorless forces are erupting here.

It was only then that people realized that the power of demons had reached a level that was incomparable to, and even unimaginable to, that of the human race.

However, such power still could not get close to the "Jianmu" tree at all. It vanished within a range of about thirty miles and could not cause any damage to the "Jianmu".

They did not linger there, but continued to fly upwards along the "Jianmu" tree.

After flying for another hour, they climbed tens of millions of miles higher than they had ever imagined.

The thickness of the sky surpasses that of the earth.

However, no trace of "immortal" was found.

There was not a trace of the founders of the three religions, and this legend seemed to be nothing more than a legend.

And finally, the canopy of the "Jianmu" tree can be seen.

However, even more demons gathered there, and an enormous demon king was crashing into the tree canopy, only to have most of its body destroyed by the force of the tree canopy's counterattack.

Yet its powerful vitality allows it to survive and quickly regenerate its demonic form.

Such a demon king has never appeared on earth.
