124: The same front

“Are the Demon Race truly that powerful? Do they require so many of your experts to guard them together?” Long Yuan asked, puzzled.

Just Lingxu Grotto-Heaven alone has three Half-Step Sky Opening Realm cultivators, and several Boundless Realm cultivators. Such combat power should be enough to suppress everything, right?

What about the other Forbidden Grounds?

I’m afraid they won’t be much weaker than Lingxu Grotto-Heaven!

“The Demon Race’s power is beyond imagination. If not for the Formation laid out with the Nine Great Forbidden Zones as its Foundation, we alone would be unable to guard the entrance!” The Second Ancient Ancestor told Long Yuan.

Each of the Nine Great Forbidden Zones is a Great World,

and they are even more vast than the Human Realm.

The Grand Array, with the Nine Great Forbidden Zones as its Foundation, is equivalent to a Grand Array set up with nine Great Worlds as its Foundation.

Once the Demon Race begins to Break Through from a certain entrance,

the power of the nine Great Worlds will converge to form a suppression.

Only by combining this with their strength can they suppress this place.

Long Yuan was astonished.

The Demon Race’s strength is actually this powerful?

It requires nine Great Worlds to suppress the passage,

and then numerous Half-Step Sky Opening Realm cultivators to block it.

“However, I am very curious, what exactly is so terrifying about the Demon Race that they must be blocked outside the Human Realm?”

It’s impossible that it’s just because of racial differences that they aren’t allowed to enter the Human Realm, right?

If that were the case,

then why is the Yao Race still living here so well?

“Because the Demon Race is bloodthirsty and cruel. The Devilish Qi they release can not only corrupt living beings, turning them into the Demon Race, but once demonized, their Divine Soul will also be corrupted. And this is just one aspect; it can also pollute Heaven And Earth Energy Veins and various Heaven And Earth Treasures, making it impossible for normal Human Race and Yao Race members to absorb and Cultivate!”

“Therefore, wherever the Demon Race passes, living beings are devastated, and they have become the public enemy of other races!” The Third Ancient Ancestor explained.

Long Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Originally, he had thought that even if the Demon Race came, what did it have to do with him?

As long as it didn’t affect the Chu Family’s development, he didn’t care how they messed around.

But he hadn’t expected the Demon Race to have such an ability!

They can demonize living beings with Devilish Qi,

and even demonize Heaven And Earth Energy Veins and Heaven And Earth Treasures?

This won’t do.

If everything is demonized,

then how can the Chu Family develop faster?

“So, what is your intention in telling me so much?” Long Yuan asked the group.

“To be frank, we intend to form an Alliance with Your Excellency!” The First Ancient Ancestor said without reservation, “An Alliance? Why mention an Alliance all of a sudden?”

“Because all three of us have a feeling that it won’t be long before the Demon Race Breaks Through the Seal and enters the Human Realm!”

“The Seal Breaks Through?” Long Yuan frowned. “Is it because those from Hell Gate attacked the Forbidden Ground?”

“With the methods of your Forbidden Ground, Hell Gate probably can’t break in, right?”

“We don’t know the specifics. It is indeed difficult for Hell Gate to break through our Forbidden Ground, but that feeling should not be wrong. We have suppressed the Two Realms Passage for millions of years, and the Demon Race has long hated us to the bone!”

“So, if the Demon Race truly Breaks Through the Realm in the future, we also hope to have an extra helper!”

“With Your Excellency’s strength, even including our Forbidden Ground, you are absolutely among the top experts in the Human Realm. Therefore, I hope Your Excellency can join hands with us to resist the Demon Race at that time!” The First Ancient Ancestor said.

Cultivation reaching their Realm,

many feelings do not arise out of thin air,

so it is likely that the arrival of the Demon Race is truly not far off!

And according to their guess,

once the Demon Race arrives, the first place they will attack is their Forbidden Ground,

which is why he invited Long Yuan to form an Alliance with them!

“My current goal is only one: to Cultivate the Family I protect into the number one power in all Realms. Those who stand in my way will be killed without mercy!”

“Whether it is the Demon Race or Netherworld Hell, as long as they hinder the development of the Family I protect, they are my enemies!” Long Yuan said in a deep voice.

“Good, since Your Excellency has said so, it seems we are on the same front!” The First Ancient Ancestor said with a smile.

Although the other party did not agree to an Alliance,

their meaning was very clear:

the Demon Race is destined to stand on his opposite side!

Having this attitude is enough!

......

After a long time,

Long Yuan left Lingxu Grotto-Heaven with Chu Yan.

Also accompanying them were Old Man Yao and Ye Zhixin.

With things having developed to this point,

taking one or two people was no problem at all!

The entrance to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven is guarded by the God-Slaying Formation.

Even a Divine-Grade expert would only face death if they came. Without Lingxu Grotto-Heaven’s permission, one can only rely on luck to pass through here.

Of course, Long Yuan was an exception.

The God-Slaying Formation could not harm him in the slightest!

“We were forced into a desperate situation and could only enter the Forbidden Ground, but I never expected that only I would survive in the end!” Ye Zhixin said with a sigh.

“Why was the Sect you belonged to destroyed?” Long Yuan asked.

“Because an Old Ancestor couldn’t resist Breaking Through to the Martial Emperor Realm, which was detected by Hell Gate, ultimately leading to the destruction of the Sect!”

“Then your Old Ancestor’s luck was really not very good!”

“If he could have endured for a few more decades, waiting until now, he could have Broken Through openly!” Long Yuan said with a sigh.

“But who could have predicted what would happen in the future?”

Several days later,

Long Yuan and his group returned to Qingyang City.

As for the father and son reunion,

and Family reunion scenes, he didn’t want to get involved.

He began to absorb the Cultivation rewarded by the System in the Dragon Emperor Palace.

Before long,

his Cultivation had Broken Through to Boundless Realm Perfection,

and he still hadn’t absorbed all of the System’s rewarded Cultivation!

After a grand banquet was held,

Chu Jingyue and Ye Zhixin entered a room to talk and recount their longing of so many years.

However, before their talk,

Chu Jingyue specifically went to find Chu Long first!

And Chu Yan began to wander around the Family.

After several years,

he had returned to the Family again,

and the enormous changes left him dumbfounded.

“If you add me and mother, then the Chu Family now has a full ten Martial Emperors!”

“As for Martial Sages, there are dozens of them. All of Chu Long’s wives and concubines, except for one, are actually Martial Sages! My goodness, how could the Chu Family have changed so much in these few years?”

Chu Yan was utterly shocked.

He had initially thought that under the Beast God’s leadership, the Chu Family would quickly become a major Family in the Human Realm,

but he hadn’t expected it to be so fast!

Nor had he expected there to be so many Martial Emperors!

“How is it? Can’t believe it, can you!” Chu Tianyang, who was with him, said with a smile.

“Incredible, truly incredible!”

“I never dreamed that the Chu Family would develop to this extent in such a short period of time!” Chu Yan exclaimed.

“Haha, it’s not just you. No one would have thought that the Chu Family could develop to this extent in a few years!”

“All of this is thanks to the Beast God!” Chu Tianyang said.

“By the way, where are Chu Zhan and the others? Why aren’t they around?”

“They are Dragon Guardians, and they are currently Cultivating in the Dragon Emperor Palace!”

“Dragon Guardians?”

“That is a force within our Chu Family. Only the strongest group of people in the Chu Family can join it!”

“With your strength, there’s absolutely no problem, but you’ll have to wait until the next selection!”

As the two walked along,

Chu Yan learned many things about the Family,

and he learned about the existence of the Refining Heart Tower and the Time Tower!

“Although these two towers are very miraculous, with the Beast God’s ability, he can indeed create them!” Chu Yan nodded.

Given the Beast God’s Realm,

it didn’t surprise him at all that he could refine such Divine Artifacts!
