Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

The temple keeper sighed with emotion after hearing this: "Actually, we have very few records, because those who came to this place back then were not high-level cultivators."

He then recounted the detailed story of how they came to be here. It turned out that their ancestors had originally fled with a group of demons.

"In ancient times, humans and demons lived in harmony. At that time, they also had the common enemy of the demon race, so the two races traveled together for a long time."

"But later, the two sides still had a disagreement and were separated by a storm at sea. The demons continued westward and I heard that they settled on a large island."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fanghua immediately realized that they might be talking about the sacred land of the demon race.

"Do you know which island the demon race lives on?"

She immediately pressed for answers, sounding anxious.

"We know, and we are very clear about, and we even have a route map. However, due to the treacherous roads, we haven't been there for thousands of years, and the two sides have basically lost contact."

Upon hearing this news, the three of them were shocked; it was an unexpected delight. They immediately offered to exchange the map for the pills.

The island's people are quite simple and honest, and the temple keeper holds considerable power in the Holy City. The two sides quickly reached an agreement, exchanging three bottles of elixirs for a map instance.

The group chatted happily, and the temple keeper introduced them to the city lord, who then hosted a banquet for the three of them.

It was only after chatting that I learned that their cultivation system was different from that of the Tang Dynasty, but similar to that of the people in Locked Dragon City back then.

The city lord was very curious about the outside world, asking many questions about details and having them recorded.

Knowing they wanted to go to the sacred land of the demon race, the city lord shook his head repeatedly: "In ancient times, there was still contact between the two sides. Later, the demon race set up an array barrier, and for some reason, a sea of ​​thunder slowly formed in the middle, and we could no longer cross it."

"Thunder Sea?"

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Yes, that sea area is covered by lightning; anyone who goes in will be blasted to pieces."

The city lord shook his head repeatedly, "You'd better not go, it's too dangerous."

"Thank you for your kindness, City Lord, but since the demons inside can come out, there must be some way to let people in."

Ji Fanghua cupped her hands in greeting, "Besides, if we get lost, please take us in, City Lord."

"No problem, no problem."

The group got along well, and Li Yuan took the opportunity to ask questions that interested him.

"I once read a legend about a bronze palace in an ancient book. I don't remember the name, but it seemed to be the palace of the goddess Nuwa. I wonder if the city lord has ever heard of it?"

"The Palace of Nuwa?"

The city lord looked surprised. "Never heard of it? I only know that the Demon God has a bronze palace."

"The Demon God's Palace?"

Li Yuan was completely shocked, his mind filled with doubts. What the city lord said matched what he had seen in the underground palace, but why would Li lie to him? There was really no need.

A multitude of questions swirled in his mind, but now was not the time to ask. An old priest in the city seemed to have remembered something and spoke slowly.

"I have indeed seen this palace in the records. It is called the Demon God Temple. Legend has it that it was born in the chaos along with the Demon Ancestor and has the power of space and time."

The power of time and space.

This also aligns with the Myriad Realms Palace. Could this be the truth?

"Later, the demon god disappeared, and the palace was lost to history; no one ever saw it again."

"The Demon God's Palace?" Li Yuan frowned. "I heard that the Demon God and Nuwa were once friends. Is this palace really unrelated to Nuwa at all?"

He still wouldn't give up.

"There is indeed such a legend that in ancient times, the gods of the human, god and demon races lived in peace and jointly ruled the world."

According to records, the goddess Nuwa lived in the Nuwa Palace, which was not cast in bronze, but was a magnificent palace made of gold.

Nuwa Palace?

Li Yuan recalled carefully and realized that he had indeed heard of this palace in ancient mythology. At this moment, he felt a sense of unease. Was this palace the Temple of the Demon God or the Temple of Nuwa? Whom should he believe?

Perhaps this trip to the sacred land of the demon race will yield different clues and lead to the truth.

The three stayed in the holy city for three days, fully recovering their cultivation and replenishing their food and water supplies before preparing to set off.

That evening, they arrived at the port, and the city lord sent a ship to take them out to sea. They were to depart the next day.

That night, Li Yuan was cultivating when suddenly everything went black and his consciousness entered the Myriad Realms Palace.

Li slowly swam down from the door, transforming into a young man with golden hair, wearing a black robe, but his eyes were as calm as an ancient well.

"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

He looked quietly into Li Yuan's eyes.

"I wasn't planning to ask you that, but since you brought it up, I'd like to ask: is the Myriad Realms Palace the Demon God's Palace or the Nuwa Palace?"

"I cannot answer that question for you; it is a taboo subject in this palace."

Li Yuan was speechless with anger at this answer. He had taken the initiative to come and ask Li Yuan to explain his question, but now that Li Yuan had asked, he was given an answer that seemed to say nothing at all.

"Very well, let's put that question aside for now. I have other things to ask you."

"Ask away, I'll answer anything I can."

In name, Li Yuan is the master of the Myriad Realms Palace, but he has a feeling that he only controls a very small part of the power of this palace.

"I'd like to learn about the demon race's cultivation system."

"Can."

Li Yuan, of course, wouldn't hide such basic knowledge from him, and as Li Yuan had expected, he generously answered his questions.

"The demon race's cultivation system is divided into three major realms: the Spirit Demon Realm, the True Demon Realm, and the Demon Emperor Realm, and each realm is further divided into three minor realms."

"The Spirit Demon Realm has three realms: Qi Condensation, Evil Gathering, and Netherworld Connection. The True Demon Realm is divided into True Transformation, Soul Devouring, and Netherworld Wandering. Xu Xuan and Ming Ji are in the Netherworld Wandering Realm, which corresponds to the Qi Condensation Realm for human cultivation and the Demon King Realm for demon race."

"The Demon Emperor Realm is divided into the Demon Embryo, Demon Heart, and Supreme Realm. The Demon Embryo Realm corresponds to the Dao Entry Realm for humans and the Demon Emperor Realm for demons. The Ghostly Beast is the cultivation level of the Demon Embryo Realm."

"The demon race's cultivation method is devouring. In the early stages, they mainly devour flesh and blood and negative emotions. In the middle stages, they mainly devour spiritual power, demonic power, or magical power. In the later stages, they can devour divine souls."

Li's words instantly reminded Li Yuan of what Gui Mo had once said: that Li Yuan looked incredibly delicious. So that's why.

"I understand. So, what do you know about that sea of ​​lightning?"

It is said that the Thunder Sea surrounds the sacred land of the demon race, and no matter where you enter from, you must pass through it first.

"My knowledge of the Thunder Sea is limited. The center of that thunder is the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, and the surrounding area is ordinary thunder. To pass through it, the first thing is to avoid the central area. In addition, this thunder is seasonal."

"Seasonal?"

"Yes, the far west only has two seasons, summer and winter. The lightning is much more violent in summer, and the amount of lightning becomes significantly less in winter. It is only possible to pass through during this season."

"I understand, thank you, Li."

Having obtained the information he wanted, Li Yuan returned to reality without hesitation.

The next morning, a fishing boat carrying several people set off westward. The captain was very polite to them. Half a month later, a rumbling sound could be faintly heard from the sea ahead.

As the group stepped onto the deck, they discovered that the seawater was as black as ink, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and in the distance, a faint purple light kept flashing, illuminating half of the sky.

"The waters ahead are full of reefs and whirlpools, making it difficult for boats to pass. So we'll leave you here."
