Chapter 2566 Hitting the passenger car by mistake
A ball of fire was floating in the sea of fire. This ball of fire was no different from the surrounding flames. Such fires could be seen everywhere in the cave. Qin Sang, Zhu Que, and Xiao Qilin were hiding in this ball of fire, perfectly blending into the sea of fire.
Having just narrowly escaped a crisis thanks to the Vermilion Bird, they are now on their way to the Origin of the Qilin.
Not only are there demon saints from the Dragon and Phoenix clans here, but also half-demon true lords and powerful figures from the Ancient Demon Court. To them, any one of them is an insurmountable enemy, and they must proceed with extreme caution.
At this moment, they relied on the Vermilion Bird's divine powers and the omnipresent Qilin aura within the cave to conceal their movements. Even so, they dared not be too reckless; Qin Sang dared not openly use the Thunder Escape Technique, which inevitably affected her escape speed.
Throughout the journey, Qin Sang remained solemn, still unwilling to give up, trying to find any signs of the existence of the Ancient Demon Court.
Just now, Qin Sang heard Zhuque's words and went up to the sky and down to the earth to investigate the fire cloud magma, but he could not find the end. When he tried to go deeper, he encountered an invisible resistance that prevented his attempt and he returned empty-handed.
Reason told Qin Sang that Zhuque's judgment was probably correct, and there was no need for it to deceive itself at this time.
But this result is too unbelievable. The Phoenix Clan and the North Sea Dragon Palace have been plotting in the Great Wind Plains since the destruction of the Dao Court. This has become the source of suffering for the half-demon generation. This drama has been going on until today. Are the powerful figures of the two clans all fools?
The new Demon Court also mobilized a large force for this purpose.
So many powerful forces have been drawn in, and now you're telling him that all these powerful figures misjudged the situation?
This unexpected outcome led Qin Sang to encounter two pressing problems.
Firstly, he had made two preparations. He originally planned to find his destiny star and then try to break through in the Ancient Demon Court, but now that dream has vanished. He can only rely on the "Purple Star Sword Scripture".
Secondly, it's unclear whether the various factions have discovered this. The Dragon and Phoenix clans, along with the New Demon Court, all came for the Ancient Demon Court. When they realize they've mistakenly entered the secondary carriage and there's no Ancient Demon Court here at all, won't they stop their attack?
Qin Sang neither wanted the struggle between the parties to be too brutal, nor did she want them to stop fighting. Only when they were all too preoccupied with their own problems would she have a chance to fish in troubled waters.
"It's unlikely that the war will end so soon..."
Qin Sang secretly comforted herself.
With so many powerful figures drawn into this chaotic battle, and all sides caught in the middle, filled with mutual suspicion, how could they possibly back down so easily?
Moreover, the Qilin Cave Heaven is also valuable.
Although Qin Sang's cultivation was low and he didn't know the truth, he believed that those powerful figures wouldn't speak without reason. Their previous certainty that the Ancient Demon Court had landed in the Great Wind Plains must have come from discovering some signs. Qin Sang believed that even if the Ancient Demon Court wasn't actually inside this Qilin Cave Heaven, it was still connected to it in some way.
If this were the cave of a Celestial Demon Qilin, it would surely contain treasures that would tempt even a Demon Saint, though none as valuable as those of the Ancient Demon Court. Even if the various factions discover the truth, they likely won't give up the fight for it.
This cave is very large, and the surrounding scenery is all the same, with the power of fire everywhere.
However, upon closer inspection, some clues can still be discerned.
They are currently heading in the direction of the Qilin Origin. According to Zhuque's speculation, the Qilin Origin is planted on the spiritual veins of the grotto-heaven, and the Qilin Origin may even be one of the sources of the spiritual veins.
To the naked eye, there are mountains, rivers and lakes in the cave, but they are all made of lava and fire.
They found no signs of life here. Although it was a fiery red expanse filled with raging flames, they could faintly sense an indescribable deathly aura, as if it were a small world that had been dead for a long time.
There were no living beings, nor any trace of their existence.
"Huh? There's a palace ahead!"
Just as Qin Sang was thinking this, she suddenly made a new discovery: what was flowing in the fiery lake ahead was not magma, but a fiery red and transparent liquid, like melted glass.
This is a true 'lake', with its bright red waters radiating a heat even more intense than elsewhere.
Through the lake water, Qin Sang could vaguely see the shadows of pavilions and towers reflected on the bottom of the lake.
The sudden discovery of these palaces in the desolate world of fire is of great significance. They were likely built by the ancient Qilin clan and may contain Qilin treasures.
What's remarkable is that this palace is remarkably well-preserved. Despite the violent turbulence of the lake and the palace's swaying, it did not collapse. Occasionally, mysterious flashes of light appear in the lake, indicating that a protective array has been constantly guarding the palace.
Because the Dragon and Phoenix clans forcibly entered the cave heaven, they shook the foundation of the cave heaven. Since the cave heaven is the basis for the existence of everything here, the forbidden formations in the cave heaven will have loopholes and will no longer be impenetrable, making them much easier to break.
The Vermilion Bird, who was manipulating the climbing vines, was also startled by Qin Sang's discovery and looked towards the palace at the bottom of the lake.
Its eyes lit up, revealing a greedy look, clearly indicating that it had the same idea as Qin Sang.
However, with immense willpower, Zhuque turned her head to the side with difficulty and urged Qin Sang, "Hurry up!"
They came for the Qilin's essence; if they couldn't obtain it before the various forces discovered it, they would have no other chance.
Qin Sang continued using her escape technique, skimming over the lake and watching the palace gradually recede into the distance, secretly lamenting the loss.
This is just the beginning; they will certainly face even more temptations in the future.
This is the training ground of what is suspected to be a Heavenly Demon Qilin. Any ordinary treasure is a treasure in their eyes, and there may even be treasures more precious than the Qilin's origin. More importantly, it is about suppressing the greedy nature and understanding the way of making choices.
As they continued their journey, they indeed discovered several more unusual places, which they ignored.
……
The entrance to the cave.
This is certainly not the real entrance, but rather a place that the dragon and phoenix clans forcibly broke through.
The cultivators from the two races had been divided into two distinct sides. They had been cooperating wholeheartedly just moments before, but now they were wary of each other.
Unaware that an external enemy had infiltrated, they believed that all the powerful enemies had been kept out by their own demon saint, and that only the two of them had entered this cave, making the other their only competitor.
Without external pressure, the Dragon and Phoenix clans would probably have started a standoff the moment the cave opened.
The Phoenix Clan Demon Saint retracted the spiritual net in his hand, a cloud of fire rose beneath his feet, and he led the Phoenix Clan cultivators away first. At the same time, the iceberg that had frozen Ao Chen melted, and the cultivators of the North Sea Dragon Palace deliberately avoided the Phoenix Clan, venturing deeper into the cave from another direction.
"Senior Ye, where are we going now?"
Ao Chen flew forward and asked telepathically.
He held the dragon spear, observing the heavens and the earth, yet his mind was filled with doubt: "Where exactly is the Ancient Demon Court?"
The demon saint beside him was not well-known outside, and was not even of dragon origin; his true form was a sea-patrolling yaksha. However, he knew that this man was his father's most trusted right-hand man. His father had personally bestowed upon him dragon blood at the ancestral court, giving him the name Night Dragon, and his status was comparable to that of a prince. Since his father could not come in person this time, he had specially sent this man instead.
Night Dragon Demon Saint said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please wait here for a moment, and allow this old man to go up and take a look!"
Having said that, the Night Dragon Demon Saint leaped into the fiery cloud.
The fiery clouds in the sky were much thicker than imagined. The Night Dragon Demon Saint used a secret technique and traveled an unknown distance, but he was still unable to break free from the binding power of the flames and could not see the demonic star in the sky.
As he rose higher, the Night Dragon Demon Saint's expression gradually became solemn. He not only felt a resistance that startled even a demon saint, but also suspected that he was under some kind of illusion.
'Shuh! '
The Night Dragon Demon Saint returned, frowning as he looked up at the sky.
In ancient times, a demonic star hung high in the sky, its light shining everywhere. This is clearly recorded in ancient texts and left a lasting impression on later generations.
Just now, his fruitless search for the demon star in the sky based on this stereotype actually gave him some inspiration. After the ancient demon court fell from the sky, not to mention whether the ancient demon star could survive, it might not even exist in this way anymore.
The Ancient Demon Court can transform into a vast secret realm, or it can hide in the form of a mustard seed; it may not even still be in the 'heaven'!
Thinking of this, Night Dragon Demon Saint's gaze swept over Ao Chen and the other demons. If there were no powerful enemies to coerce them, the demon saints would not have difficulty finding the Ancient Demon Court if they joined forces to search the cave. But now, however, things were a bit tricky.
After a moment of contemplation, the Night Dragon Demon Saint's eyes suddenly turned a deep blue, like ice, and a strange aura emanated from his body.
The cultivators of the Dragon Palace sensed this aura and immediately held their breath, for this was the power of the Dharma Domain.
Those present were all elites of the North Sea Dragon Palace, including the Tenth Prince Ao Chen, a prodigy who was only one step away from becoming a Demon Saint.
It's just a step away, yet it feels like an insurmountable chasm.
The Law Domain is an insurmountable chasm between them and the Demon Saint. Even someone as powerful as Ao Chen would be almost powerless to fight back once he fell into the true Demon Saint's Law Domain.
As this aura spread, all the cultivators in the Dragon Palace felt a cool sensation, and the intense heat and flames were receding from them.
In an instant, the scene before my eyes changed dramatically. The leaping flames all around turned into water droplets as they fell, the flames transformed into ocean waves, and the fire clouds turned into water mist.
Some demon cultivators witnessed the Demon Saint unleashing his domain for the first time and were greatly intrigued. They activated their spiritual eyes to look around and found that the sea stretched all the way to the horizon. The once omnipresent flames had completely disappeared from their sight, and they instantly returned to the North Sea from the Qilin Cave.
These demon cultivators couldn't help but show expressions of shock. If the Night Dragon Demon Saint were their opponent, and he used his concealment technique at this moment, all they would see would be an endless sea, and all they would smell would be the salty, fishy smell of water—it would all be incredibly real.
They had no way to deal with this body of water, let alone harm the Night Dragon Demon Saint himself.
Because their opponent is no longer a cultivator, but a whole world!
How can one fight against heaven and earth when one is already in the midst of them?
Of course, even though the Night Dragon Demon Saint is incredibly powerful, he is not a Heavenly Demon and cannot reverse the water and fire of the entire cave.
He released his domain at this moment, sensing something with his supernatural powers. Ao Chen and the others hovered on the water's surface, not daring to make a move. In a daze, Ao Chen and the others suddenly realized that the sea had turned into flames again, and the Night Dragon Demon Saint had retracted his domain.
"Your Highness..."
Night Dragon Demon Saint summoned Ao Chen and then pointed out several other demon cultivators, all of whom were among the best cultivators in the Dragon Palace.
Then he looked at the remaining cultivators, took out an object—an ice jade carved into the shape of a dragon—and said in a deep voice, “You will all use this treasure together to search for the Ancient Demon Court within the cave. If you discover any unusual signs, report to me immediately! Remember, you must not separate at will!”
"As ordered!"
They were well aware of the Night Dragon Demon Saint's formidable reputation and dared not utter a word, bowing respectfully in response.
Then, the Night Dragon Demon Saint waved his sleeve, and a mist of water enveloped Ao Chen and the other demons, who then fled into the distance.
"Senior Ye, where are we going now?"
Ao Chen was completely confused. Wasn't Night Dragon Demon Saint supposed to lead them to the Ancient Demon Court? Why did he leave them behind and split them into two groups? Could there be a traitor among the group left behind?
Night Dragon Demon Saint's eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned his surroundings. He said softly, "Your Highness, some unexpected changes have occurred... For now, the only option is to find a way to take control of this grotto-heaven!"
……
As the Night Dragon Demon Saint set off, the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint on the other side made a similar arrangement.
"Auntie, has something happened?" Princess Qian was very clever and noticed something was wrong.
The Phoenix Clan Demon Saint nodded slightly, speaking vaguely, "It's not entirely certain yet. We'll see once we take control of the grotto-heaven..."
This answer left Princess Qian scratching her head in frustration, and she pressed on, asking repeatedly, "What exactly happened? How can one control a grotto-heaven? Can a grotto-heaven be controlled by a cultivator?"
"Hehe, every grotto-heaven can be controlled. When the little princess breaks through her cultivation realm, hmm... perhaps she'll have to cultivate to her peak and understand what it means to create a grotto-heaven before she can truly comprehend it..."
The Phoenix Clan Demon Saint patiently explained, her beautiful eyes searching everywhere.
If Qin Sang and Zhu Que were to see their actions at this moment, they would realize that the direction they were heading was not far from their goal.
……
A corner of the Qilin Cave.
Yan Zhu Zhenjun unexpectedly encountered Zhuque. Although he was intimidated by Zhuque, he did not change his mind.
After all, Zhuque couldn't take them away immediately, and he had already made a vow with the New Demon Court. If he betrayed the New Demon Court now, the Danhuan Clan would immediately face annihilation.
We can only make further plans after we get through this difficult time.
He landed atop a fiery mountain, his figure plummeting through the flames to reach the depths of the lava.
He held a nine-dragon pendant in his hand, all nine dragons being blood dragons.
The so-called "Dragon Slaying Sacrifice to Heaven" means, as the name suggests, that eight dragon veins must be combined to create nine dragons, which are then slain to unleash tremendous power and seize a share of the spoils in the ancient demon court war. This is the strongest method that the half-demon true lords have come up with together, and it is their last desperate act.
However, now that he has pledged allegiance to the new Demon Court, he naturally won't take any more risks and there's no need for him to perform the dragon-slaying ritual. What he needs to do now is rely on the dragon vein and the blood grave to send in the experts of the new Demon Court.
He put away the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, opened his arms, and each of his wrists was wrapped with a blood-red thread.
Yan Zhu Zhenjun's expression darkened as blood lines grew along his meridians, spreading throughout his body, then extending from the soles of his feet, disappearing into the depths of the magma, their connection unknown.
Not long after, a thick, blood-red light suddenly surged from the magma, like a fountain of blood, and then a figure emerged from the light. (End of Chapter)
