Chapter 14: Hate

Regarding the life and death of the Demon Emperor, Wang Jiu was not so uncertain.

Because even if the previous conclusion is only inferred from circumstantial evidence, after all, circumstantial evidence is strong.

But now that he is revisiting the old place, recalling the details of the battle back then, it is becoming more and more difficult for Wang Jiu to be sure of his conclusion.

Is the Great Demon God Emperor really dead?

Is it possible that it is just a lose-lose situation, falling into a deep sleep like yourself?

Although the result of the Demon Sword scanning Xiangzhou is that the demon clan has been wiped out, maybe it's just because the sleeping place of the Demon Emperor is not in Xiangzhou? Or maybe over the years, the other party has changed their life form, making the scanning of the Finger Sword ineffective for it?

This is not impossible, during the decisive battle, when the Demon Emperor used the Nine Styles against the Demon Sword, the early warning system of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword did not give enough timely warning, and the sword completely removed the breath of the Demon Race, as if it came from the hand of a completely different creature, so that the Outer Heaven Divine Sword was completely unable to react.

Thinking of this, especially in connection with the reaction of the Demon Sword to the Holy Sect Master not long ago, Wang Jiu had strong doubts about the life and death of the Demon Emperor.

"Senior, come and see, I found an important clue!"

When Wang Jiu heard this, he saw the Holy Sect Master standing on the edge of the high platform, beckoning to him with a solemn and eager face.

"I've found the whereabouts of the First Sect Master!"

Wang Jiufei stepped forward, and following the direction of the sect master's finger, he saw a row of footprints faintly on a dark golden fragment floating in the chaos outside the high platform.

The sect master said, "Ever since I crossed the Broken Immortal Wall, I have vaguely felt that there is something familiar here, but I have never been able to determine its location...... Just now I tried to scan the Quartet with the Yuan Shen again, and finally found a trace of the undetectable Holy Sect aura in the chaos outside the high platform. ”

Wang Jiu looked at the row of footprints and asked, "How can you be sure that they were left by the first sect master?" ”

"Because that's the only possibility!" The Sect Master said with some excitement, "This Ruin, that is, the Golden Cloud Dome Ruins, has always been under the management of the Holy Sect from the first time the Sect Master first discovered the entrance to the present, and every entry and exit has been strictly recorded. To date, there has not been a single record of anyone being able to penetrate this place, except for the first Sect Master's farewell at the end of his life. ”

Wang Jiu pondered for a moment, admitting that this speculation was reliable.

With the intensity of the Immortal Demon War, there could not be any survivors in the core battlefield, and those who could leave footprints on the fragments of the Golden Cloud Dome High Platform would only be descendants. And since the Holy Sect is in charge of all the exploration actions of those who come after him, then the judgment of the Sect Master has the highest authority.

"With the power of the First Holy Sect, is it possible to penetrate deep into this place?"

The sect master said, "If it's along the road we came from...... I guess it won't work. According to historical records, although the two suzerains of the first generation were eloquent and strategic, and their strength and vision were much higher than those of their peers at that time, they did not exceed the limits of the times. Their True Yuan Realm is still very weak today, and it is already very difficult to withstand the outer Chaos Tide of the First Ruin. However, the outer layer of this No. 1 relic is very unstable, and it is not necessarily impossible that there is a safe passage...... And the two sect masters happened to find that passage during their last exploration. Moreover, historical records record that the two suzerains had quite a lot of flood relics at that time, perhaps they relied on the blessing of the flood relics to get all the way through. ”

This explanation is also reasonable, in Wang Jiu's opinion, the spatial structure around the dark golden fragment that left footprints is quite unstable, which means that it is not only a risk, but also means that it is likely that there was a shortcut here two thousand years ago.

But no matter how reasonable the explanation is, it can't dispel Wang Jiu's suspicions about the original sect master at this time.

Because when he saw the footprints, the Demon Sword began to tremble again.

"Follow along."

"Okay, seniors follow me."

As he spoke, the Sect Master stretched out his hand again, sweeping away the chaos outside the high platform, revealing a straight passage.

It's been a long journey. The dark golden fragment was only a few hundred meters away from each other when it looked from the high platform, but the spatial structure in the chaos ruins was often distorted, and the sect master and Wang Jiu walked along the smooth road opened up for half an hour, with a straight line distance of more than thousands of miles, before finally coming to the dark gold fragment.

And the moment the Sect Master stepped on the dark golden fragments, he felt the surrounding space expand, and the ground under his feet instantly expanded a hundred times. From a distance, it looks like a place of cone, but in reality it is a vast space with a radius of several kilometers.

The dark gold color forms the theme of this space, but instead of the monotonous plains of the golden cloud top, the rocks are undulating, the winding paths are winding, and the ruins of broken palaces can be seen at the edges.

Wang Jiu recognized this place after just one glance.

"Temple of the God of War."

In the Kyushu period, it has a magnificent hall with a history of more than 5,000 years, and contains the relics of countless immortal cultivators who have achieved astonishing military exploits, and it was relocated to Jinyunding after the completion of Jinyunding. During the Great War of Immortals and Demons, the Temple of the God of War became a specimen exhibition hall for the demons. The human race displayed the corpses of the demons captured in the war to boost morale, and after the Outer Heaven Sword entered the war, the Temple of the God of War was expanded several times...... However, the magnificent temple that once stood as tall as a mountain is now only a fragmented corner.

"Senior, the footprints point to the ruins of the temple." As he spoke, the Sect Master had already flown over first, not even caring about the traps that might appear on the road.

For the people of the Holy Sect, the legend of the first Sect Master began to be heard from the moment they entered. The two of them are known as the light of civilization in the Dark Ages, guiding survivors out of their sanctuary and building a new civilization on the land. Their impartiality, foresight, and wisdom have amazed posterity countless times, and they are simply time-travelers in the story.

And they are indeed as mysterious as the traversers. First of all, their origin is unknown, as if they were born out of nowhere, and their whereabouts at the time of their death are also unknown, and it is only known that the last time they were seen was in front of the entrance to Ruins One. In the following two thousand years, the Holy Sect organized countless explorations of the ruins, which did not have the purpose of finding the remains of the first Sect Master, but no one could find the remains after two thousand years. So much so that it is popular within the Holy Sect that the two Sect Masters are likely to travel from the infinitely distant future, or the infinitely distant past, to help mankind overcome historical difficulties, and then retire to return to their rightful era......

Now it seems that the traversal theory is obviously untenable, and the current generation of sect masters has found the last footprints of the two first generation of sect masters in the ruins of the flood desolation.

"Senior, I found it!"

A moment later, the voice of surprise from the sect master came from the ruins of the palace.

Wang Jiu flew over with a deep stomach full of contemplation.

The location of the ruins of the palace is close to the edge of the entire space, and the main body of the Temple of the God of War has been lost in the chaos, and the remaining part is only a side hall that was once used to display middle-level demon specimens, and the well-preserved part is just an exhibition room.

The Holy Sect Master was standing in the middle of the exhibition room, and there were two piles of ashes on the ground in front of him.

"Senior, here!"

Before he could say anything, Wang Jiu had already approached, stood beside the ash heap, and unleashed the Demon Finger Sword again.

These two ashes should be the remains left by the first generation of sect masters, and the traces of the fluctuations of the Holy Sect Sect are still left after 10,000 years, but the remains themselves look very strange.

It's not the ashes left after cremation, but the residue left over after the flesh is ground into pieces by a strong grinding force, and then filtered. According to the traditional habits of human society, this is a more tragic treatment than the crushing of bones and ashes. These two people don't know how much self-loathing they have, so they choose this way of self-destruction.

However, the mood of the first generation of the sect master was no longer within the scope of consideration of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, and after the Demon Sword was launched, all doubts should be cleared.

The sword spirit carefully observed the changes in the Finger Demon Sword, and for the two piles of corpses that were close at hand, the change in the Finger Demon Sword was very slight.

This change means that the corpse itself does not have any demon elements, but there is some causal connection with the demon race, and this connection can be explained in many ways...... It's a pity that with the current level of the Demon Sword, it can't be discerned in such detail. And only from the point of view of strength, the connection between these two piles of corpses and the demons is, at most, the extent that they have inadvertently excavated the ruins of the demons, and they cannot form a strong connection at all.

But on the other hand, it is very strange to live in a continent where the demon race is extinct and related to the demon race......

While thinking about it, the voice of the sect master came from the side.

"That's what it is...... The last body left by the first sect master, and the resentment. ”

The Sect Master let out a sigh that interrupted Wang Jiu's thoughts, returning his attention to the outside of the Sword World.

Not far from the corpse of the first sect master, on the wall of the exhibition room, there were two almost identical blood characters.

Hate.

Even if it is 10,000 years later, even if it is just written hastily with blood, even if Wang Jiu does not know calligraphy at all, it can be seen that these two words are full of sincere resentment and regret.

Compared with anger, there are more elements of regret, and the word hatred has an explanation of regret, which is vividly reflected in these two blood words.

The two first sect masters came to the Temple of War at the end of their lives, leaving behind a heart-rending hatred...... For what?

"Probably, witnessing the remnants of the Great War of Immortals and Demons, I am resentful of the doom of human civilization." The sect master said, "Looking at the corpses of these demons, even I, a person who has never experienced a disaster, can't help but burst out with anger. ”

Wang Jiu also looked at the demon specimen on the wall.

Because it is a side hall, it is not the corpse of a high-grade demon clan on display, but the exhibits in this pavilion are quite distinctive.

Among the demons, the most timid and cowardly auxiliary troops, painting demons.
