Chapter 2249: Sikong Jing’s Speculation
The people of the Cangyu Sect can only enter when the Absolute Formation Gate opens every three years; only then won’t they be killed by the power of the Absolute Array.
The time the Absolute Formation Gate opens is two months.
That means only during these two months can the Cangyu Sect be as free as the Demons.
Sikong Jing, of course, also asked, what happens to the Demons if they leave the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain and enter other parts of the Desert Sea Absolute Array?
The War Tiger’s answer was: they would also be killed by the Absolute Array. However, if they reach the Holy Martial Stage, they could resist the array, but the Cangyu Sect doesn’t allow them to achieve that, so the Demons cannot leave this sea domain of the Divine Demon Island.
In plain terms, it’s because once the Demons reach the Holy Martial Stage, they can move freely throughout the Desert Sea Absolute Array.
Therefore, the Cangyu Sect doesn’t allow them to reach it, effectively imprisoning the Demons within the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain.
"Such rules are truly bizarre..."
"Demons can travel freely, and so can the Cangyu Sect when the Absolute Formation Gate opens, but only if they are below the Divine Martial Stage."
"And it’s also limited to the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain. What exactly was the person who set this rule thinking?"
Indeed, if one reaches the Divine Martial Stage, they cannot enter the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain.
Whether the array gate is open or not, as long as someone at the Divine Martial Stage dares to come in, they are absolutely slaughtered without any leniency.
"The rules of the Desert Sea Absolute Array are quite lenient to the Demons, and seemingly relatively lenient to the Cangyu Sect as well."
"But they are extremely harsh to other outsiders, directly killing them."
Sikong Jing thought again about his parents and those Chasers; entering the Desert Sea Absolute Array would almost certainly mean death for them.
The Cangyu Sect, at least, still has an opportunity every three years.
"It seems to relate to the guardians of the Divine Demon Island."

As the War Tiger put it, the center of the Divine Demon Island is extremely mysterious, and hardly any Human Clan set foot in it and return.
This is why it is treated as a prison by the Cangyu Sect.
The guardians are the Prison Guardians; they do not allow any Humans who set foot in the prison to leave, so the Cangyu Sect doesn’t need to station guards there; they just throw the prisoners in.
"The Cangyu Sect believes that the center of the Divine Demon Island is the control center of the entire Desert Sea Absolute Array."
"As long as they crack the Divine Demon Island, they can obtain and control the entire Desert Sea Absolute Array, so they throw prisoners in one by one, looking for a method to fully control the Divine Demon Island."
Sikong Jing deduced bit by bit, and it’s essentially just as Pei Kuang thought.
"The reason Pei Kuang could summon Ba Zhun is that there is a Transmission Array directly connected by a Transmission Stone at the center of the Divine Demon Island."
"And the reason Pei Kuang got the Transmission Stone... is because the Cangyu Sect gave it to him."
"The Cangyu Sect used the special attribute of the Demons in the Desert Sea Absolute Array. A powerful Holy Martial Stage individual brought a Demon along to travel into the Central Plains and found Pei Kuang, giving him a Transmission Stone."
"The purpose should still be to test if there is a method to control the Divine Demon Island."
It’s as Pei Kuang said, and this matter was also confirmed by the War Tiger; indeed, several decades ago, the Cangyu Sect had a Holy Martial Stage expert who brought along a top-level emperor-class Demon into the Central Plains.
But even so, it was extremely dangerous for the experts of the Cangyu Sect, so they wouldn’t attempt it lightly.
For Sikong Jing, it means the Cangyu Sect could pose a threat to the Central Plains.
This matter must be remembered firmly.
"Demons are the lives left behind by the creator of the Divine Demon Island, so the Desert Sea Absolute Array is more friendly to them."
"Then who exactly created the Divine Demon Island and the Desert Sea Absolute Array?"
Sikong Jing also asked the War Tiger about this, and the latter’s answer was completely unknown. However, it is certain they are their true gods. Within the bloodline of the Demons, there is an awe for the center of the Divine Demon Island.
Once they step onto the Divine Demon Island, they are almost unconsciously compelled to worship.
Sikong Jing had just asked, if the Demons could master the Divine Demon Island, wouldn’t they then be able to revolt against their enslavement?
But the War Tiger only smiled bitterly, if they could master it, they would have done so long ago.
But it’s impossible, and even the Cangyu Sect is quite confident in this.
The War Tiger once heard from a Holy Martial Stage individual of the Cangyu Sect that Demons could never possibly master the Divine Demon Island. They are merely humble servants left by the creator of the Divine Demon Island, having no right to receive the attention of the creator.
"It seems the Cangyu Sect may also understand the identity of this ancient era’s creator," Sikong Jing continued to analyze.
To uncover the secrets of the Mysterious Island, one may focus on the Prison Guardians...
But the War Tiger said that the guardians, or, in other words, the Guardians, are merely some Demon Puppets and Battle Puppets, which means they have no consciousness.
The task of the Guardians is just to guard the center of the Divine Demon Island.
"No wonder I clearly felt a terrifying presence targeting Ba Zhun and the Six Clawed Mixed Beast back then."
"But ultimately it came to nothing..."
"Turns out, as long as Ba Zhun and the Six Clawed Mixed Beast returned to the prison, the unconscious guardians would no longer mind."
Obviously, if Ba Zhun had stayed any longer back then, he would have been killed by the guardians outside the Canglong Small Domain.
"Why did the creator set up such a Desert Sea Absolute Array and leave behind Demons, after all?"
Even though he understood the rules of the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain, Sikong Jing still felt a bit lost.
However, at this moment, he suddenly had a huge shake and thought, "That’s it, the Bloodline Legacy of the previous generation’s Master of Ten Thousand Beasts."
When he first saw the letter left by his parents, Sikong Jing had this suspicion.
Could the existence of the Desert Sea Absolute Array be to protect the bloodline legacy of the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts from being discovered by Human Clan experts, or even from being found and destroyed by the Five Heavenly Emperors?
"If that’s the case, the creator probably isn’t human."
"But a powerful Fierce Beast that took away the bloodline legacy of the previous Master of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison!"
Again, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison holds all the Fierce Beasts and was constructed by the Five Heavenly Emperors as a prison world, so it couldn’t have disappeared easily.
But the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison ended up drifting into the Deserted Sea Forbidden Land...
Then, it must have been stolen by someone or a Fierce Beast, and the possibility of a Fierce Beast is, of course, greater.
Thinking of this, Sikong Jing hurried into the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison to share this hypothesis with the Fierce Beasts and Divine Beasts inside.
All the Fierce Beasts and Divine Beasts were bewildered; such a Fierce Beast clearly did not exist.
Back in the day, the main force of the Fierce Beasts and Divine Beasts, almost all of them were locked inside here, except for the traitorous Six-clawed Evil Heart Beast and its followers.
"Could it be that the Six-clawed Evil Heart Beast is actually our mole?" The Absolute Night Wolf King blinked.
If the Six-clawed Evil Heart Beast were a mole, there might have been a chance to steal the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison and the Bloodline Legacy of the previous Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
In response, the Divine Turtle said fiercely: "Impossible, that creature could never be our mole."
The beasts ultimately couldn’t come to any conclusion, and Sikong Jing left the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison with lingering doubts.
"It’s still uncertain whether the Desert Sea Absolute Array protects the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison and the Bloodline Legacy; it seems I’ll have to dig deeper, if it’s as I suspect, then I can easily control the Desert Sea Absolute Array..."
With that, Sikong Jing clenched his fists tightly, a strong gleam flashing in his eyes.
Sikong Jing was somewhat looking forward to heading to the Divine Demon Island.
