Chapter 1322 - 702: Outer Domain Demon Lord?
In the void, two streams of light were almost imperceptible.
After several times of folding space, Jiang Shu’s understanding of the Space Dao was nearly reaching mastery.
Returning to the True Martial Sect’s territory.
Taiwu Daoist Venerable was reviewing some records in the sect, while Jiang Shu went into seclusion directly!
This confrontation with the Heaven-Burning Ancestor had given him some insights, which he needed to digest.
However, both of them were unaware that their actions today had stirred quite a commotion throughout the Vast Domain.
Not only did the ancient battlefield relics exhibit anomalies, but a dozen other battlefields in the Demon Domain also underwent changes simultaneously.
These battlefields seemed to be connected to the ancient battlefield.
All were continually affected by the great array.
The heavens initiated slaughter, shifting stars and changing lodgings.
For a while, the events at the ancient battlefield shocked the entire Demon Domain.
Rumors spread within the Demon Domain that a powerful Demon Lord had once fallen in these battlefields.
Of course, most of the Demon Race weren’t overly fantasizing about this so-called Demon Lord inheritance.
After all, such an inheritance, though a supreme opportunity,
was invariably contested by entities at the Daoist Venerable or Demon Venerable Level.
Even ordinary late-stage Daoist Venerable or Demon Venerable were merely stepping into the threshold of contention.
What truly attracted them was the vast amount of special resources seemingly present at each battlefield.
This further intensified the great war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race, particularly at several battlefield relics, which many of the Demon Race viewed as their territory.
Only temporarily occupied by the Human Clan.
In the past, it was the Emperor Palace not taking action. Now with the ancient battlefield involving a Demon Lord, how could they not dare to reclaim their territory?
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
At each battlefield, the chaotic battle between the Human Clan and the Demon Race raged on unceasingly.
Two months later, in the Chaotic Demon Sea, Jiang Shu slowly opened his eyes in his seclusion area.
He sensed a stream of light waiting outside his seclusion chamber.
"Is this for me?"
He raised his hand to catch it, and a stream of light flew over, landing in his palm.
"End your cultivation and head to the True Martial Hall as soon as possible."
"Oh?"
Jiang Shu’s face showed a trace of surprise.
This message was undoubtedly sent by the Supreme Sect Leader.
And the fact that the light stream was still intact meant there was still time. Clearly, something significant had happened with the Demon Race during his seclusion.
It might be related to that particular battlefield.
"I wonder if the Supreme Sect Leader has discovered the origins of that battlefield."
"Will the Dao Yi Sect get involved?"
Jiang Shu changed his clothes and immediately set off.
In the void, he could clearly see streams of light flying out, heading to the True Martial Hall.
Compared to last time, many strong figures arrived, half of them coming in person rather than with avatars or consciousness.
It seemed that these individuals highly valued these ancient ruins...
Jiang Shu was slightly moved in his heart.
Taiwu Daoist Venerable sat at the foremost position, nodding slightly as Jiang Shu entered, remaining as immovable as a mountain.
Jiang Shu sat next to the Supreme Sect Leader, waiting quietly.
In a short while, many strong figures had gathered, and Taiwu Daoist Venerable finally spoke, "Everyone, report on the findings regarding the ancient battlefields in recent days."
Upon hearing this, a Daoist Venerable present spoke loudly.
"These ancient battlefields have appeared in the areas occupied by our Human Clan, with a total of six locations!"
"Apart from the one discovered by Taiwu Daoist Venerable and Taixuan Daoist Venerable, there are five others, one of which is on the Heavenly Origin Plain, abundant in Water Dao resources, seemingly accumulated over thousands of years. Sha Huang Canyon likewise has one, capable of producing a substantial amount of Fire Dao resources..."
As the words fell, all the Daoist Venerables present listened solemnly and attentively.
There was no doubt that these battlefields would provide their sects with enormous benefits and resources for cultivation.
The Eight Great Sects had already opened their reserves, fully nurturing the new generation.
Though resources were abundant, they flowed out like a flood every day.
Nurturing young talents required a great amount of resources.
Any Daoist Monarch certainly has a massive amount of resources accumulated.
Evidently, the vast resources of these ancient battlefields equate to resource points that major sects must secure.
Soon, that Daoist Venerable finished speaking, then continued:
"In addition, there are two ancient ruins on our border with the Demon Race, still being contested in a great war..."
Taiwu Daoist Venerable nodded slightly, calm as an ancient well, seemingly unconcerned with these resources.
For someone of his stature, whether Water Dao or Fire Dao resources, they merely allowed the Daoist Monarchs of Vientiane Realm, who were comprehending the Five Elements Dao, to progress further.
For an average Daoist Venerable, perhaps they held some significance.
But for someone nearly reaching the pinnacle like him, he most desired to obtain the cultivation methods of the Demon Lord and the means to evade the Heavenly Dao.
"According to our sect’s projections, the reason these battlefields can produce various resources is likely due to the imprinting of certain Dao fragments from the great war, altering the environment."
"Different environments thus nurture different resources, which is extremely beneficial for us."
The Human Clan’s efficiency in utilizing resources surpasses that of the Demon Race.
Talisman, Elixir, Magic Artifact...
Although these might not have much use for top-tier Daoist Venerables, they are indispensable for mid-tier cultivators!
Now, with the Eight Great Sects wracking their brains over resources, these ancient ruins have willingly presented themselves.
