318: Chapter 307: Traces of the Demonic Way 318: Chapter 307: Traces of the Demonic Way When they were still tens of thousands of miles away from Little Cang Mountain Range, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks, used a secret method to conceal the figures of the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers, and carefully approached the Little Cang Mountain Range.
When they arrived near the Little Cang Mountain Range, Jiang Chen suddenly ordered the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers, “Get over here and set up the Ten-Layered Heaven-Earth Net.
He didn’t dare to surround the entire Little Cang Mountain Range.
Jiang Chen just randomly chose a place about the size of three or four mountain peaks and let the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers set up the Ten-Layered Heaven-Earth Net there, holding it in encirclement.
Ten thousand heavenly soldiers could control a single layer of the Heaven-Earth Net, while a hundred thousand soldiers could control ten layers.
Though Jiang Chen didn’t command a hundred thousand soldiers, he had the authority to command them, and therefore, he could command the Ten-Layered Heaven-Earth Net.
In the void, strands of golden threads emerged, formed a net that covered the whole sky and earth, and as many as ten layers.
This was the Heaven-Earth Net!
The Ten-Layered Heaven-Earth Net was enough to trap a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Although there were numerous demons and monsters in the Little Cang Mountain Range, Jiang Chen didn’t believe there would be a master of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level there.
It had long been said that the Little Cang Mountain Range was a poor and treacherous place in Dongsheng Divine Continent.
How miserable must the Great Luo Golden Immortal be to have fallen to this place?
Just as the Heaven-Earth Net was set up, Jiang Chen, Sun Wukong, and the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers divided into three groups, each attacking a different mountain peak.
When setting up the Heaven-Earth Net, Jiang Chen had already seen that there were only three peaks, each with a Taiyi Golden Immortal and four Golden Immortals.
The Taiyi Golden Immortal occupied one mountain peak alone, while the four Golden Immortals shared the other two peaks.
Conveniently, Jiang Chen could dispatch three groups, with him personally dealing with the Taiyi Golden Immortal, and Sun Wukong and the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers taking on the two Golden Immortals.
Jiang Chen’s concealment method was top-notch, not only in the Three Realms era but also in the distant Honghuang Era.
Therefore, as he prepared their attack, the monsters on the mountain were completely unaware, allowing him to approach unnoticed.
Wanting to test the power of his concealment method, Jiang Chen arrived at the monster’s cave entrance.
Without knocking, he entered the cave using the Standing Without Shadow divine ability and silently approached the monster.
It was a green wolf, transformed into a human figure, dressed in a green robe, sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave, meditating.
As it breathed, turbid energy and murderous energy rising from the ground were swallowed and refined by it.
All this time, Jiang Chen was standing in front of the green wolf, quietly observing it.
The green wolf did not notice him.
Is this green wolf a practitioner of the Demonic Way?” Jiang Chen frowned as he looked at the green wolf.
Something was off about this wolf’s way!
No proper Demon Clan would absorb turbid energy, it was their mortal enemies, the Witch Clan, who fed on turbid energy.
Moreover, refining murderous energy into the body was not a method of Immortal Dao, but a technique of the Demon Sect.
Only members of the Demon Sect in the Three Realms would absorb murderous energy instead of Spiritual Energy.
So, was this green wolf a disciple of the Demonic Way?
After some thought, Jiang Chen suddenly extended a finger and pointed at the green wolf’s brow.
At this moment, perhaps sensing danger, the green wolf abruptly opened its eyes and looked at Jiang Chen.
However, it was too late.
Jiang Chen’s finger had already touched its brow.
In an instant, the Absolute Divine Art erupted, eradicating the green wolf’s primordial spirit.
At the same time, the Tao Mirror automatically appeared and illuminated the green wolf’s corpse, projecting all its life experiences.
Jiang Chen quickly skimmed through the green wolf’s memory in a matter of moments.
“A crypt of an ancient Demon Sect master, huh?”
From the green wolf’s memory, Jiang Chen learned that somewhere in the waters of the Eastern Sea, there was a grave of an ancient master of the Demon Sect.
This was a treasure land he accidentally discovered.
His Demonic Way cultivation was acquired from there.
However, when the green wolf was still alive due to its low cultivation level, it only dared to wander around the outer area of the crypt, not daring to venture deeper.
Hence, what’s inside the crypt was unknown to him.
It crossed Jiang Chen’s mind.
A master of the Demon Sect was always selfish.
Would they possibly leave their legacy behind after death, for others to benefit from?
The Demon Sect master must have had some other intention for doing this, perhaps using it to seize another’s body for rebirth.
That made sense for a master of the Demon Sect.
Therefore, it was impossible for Jiang Chen to visit this crypt of the Demon Sect.
However, he could sell the information about this crypt to a Mystic Sect master and gain some benefits.
Or, he could directly report the message to the Jade Emperor.
The Demon Sect was the mortal enemy of the Mystic Sect.
Any information about the Demon Sect would not be overlooked by a Mystic Sect master.
If Jiang Chen were to report the information about this crypt to the Jade Emperor, there will surely be a Mystic Sect master to investigate the situation.
As for the benefits Jiang Chen can gain from this, it would entirely depend on the strength of the master in the crypt.
The higher the cultivation of the crypt master is, the more benefits Jiang Chen would gain.
I’ll keep that in mind.” Jiang Chen collected the green wolf’s corpse with a wave of his hand and left the place.
When Jiang Chen left the cave, the battles in the other two places were winding down.
Four Golden Immortals could not withstand the Demon Suppression heavenly soldiers and Sun Wukong.
Jiang Chen nodded and said, “Quickly clean up the battlefield and move to the next location.”
After finishing his sentence, Jiang Chen vanished without a trace.
Having obtained the Shangqing inheritance for quite some time now, Jiang Chen plans to take this opportunity to test his cultivation progress.
He would set up an array and evaluate its power.
The more exquisite and powerful the array, the deeper Jiang Chen’s understanding of the Shangqing inheritance.
After looking around, Jiang Chen found a place filled with vigorous earth fire.
It was a wasteland with a few scattered volcanoes.
Huge cracks covered the ground like a spider web.
Underground fire seeped from the fissures, the horrifying temperature turned the surroundings into a wasteland and even turned the nearby mountains into volcanoes.
Jiang Chen arrived and closely observed the terrain, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, what a wasted treasure.”
If it was only vigorous earth fire, this place would be a natural treasure.
Whether for pill using, refining qi, or cultivating fire-type arts, it would be doubly effective.
But regrettably, this earth fire contained traces of toxic fire, turning it into poisonous substances.
Using this fire for pill refining not only made it difficult to achieve, but even if the pill was successfully refined, it would be a poisonous one.
Anyone burned by this earth fire, if not killed by the fire, would be poisoned by the toxic fire.
This place was a hazardous area.
