244: Tianwu Realm Demon

"Why not just destroy it?"

This question really hits the mark.

After all, whenever Jiang Chen had faced these Demon Caves before, he had simply applied a Seal to them.

This included the Demon Palace that appeared earlier; he had killed every single one that he could.

Since he could operate like that with other Demon Caves and the Demon Palace, why couldn't he do the same for this Heaven-Grade Demon Cave?

"Er..."

Zhang Xian and the others were momentarily speechless.

They had been guarding the Demon Caves for many years.

They had only ever thought about clearing out the demons below when a crisis arose to reduce the threat of the Demon Cave, but they had never considered completely pacifying these Demon Caves.

It wasn't that they hadn't thought about it.

It was just that after carrying out a few suppressions, such thoughts had completely vanished.

The ten Earth Martial Realm demons they had mentioned just now...

...were actually just the outermost forces of this Demon Domain.

If one were to go deeper, there would be even more powerful demons. That was the core of the Demon Domain, a place where demons recuperated and thrived. It was hard to say just how terrifying the beings there were.

In fact, no one had reached the core of the Demon Domain for a very long time.

Let alone thinking about how to destroy this Heaven-Grade Demon Cave.

Lu Qian, who was standing to the side, understood what Jiang Chen meant.

She was also the only person among them who had witnessed the true strength Jiang Chen displayed when slaying demons.

That kind of ferocity was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Therefore, Lu Qian did indeed have this intention when she went on this reconnaissance mission.

However, Lu Qian had wanted to wait for Jiang Chen to investigate together before making a decision.

She hadn't expected Jiang Chen to speak up first.

"Actually, Jiang Chen is right. I think we have a chance to completely Seal the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave."

Lu Qian said with a serious expression.

Seal the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave!

It wasn't just the traditional clearing out; the difficulty involved would certainly be immense.

It was by no means child's play.

If this Heaven-Grade Demon Cave could be cleared out, the Great Lan Dynasty would have already started cleaning it up long ago; why would they need to wait until now?

Yang Ding and Zong Yuan exchanged glances. There was a flicker of interest in their eyes, but there was more gravity and solemnity.

"Actually, the Sacred Martial Academy has always been conducting research on this."

"The reason the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave has never been able to be completely destroyed is precisely because there is a Formation inside!"

Zong Yuan, as the Vice Dean of the Sacred Martial Academy...

...naturally knew some secrets and key information.

Even Zhang Xian didn't know about this matter.

After all, Zhang Xian was only an imperial retainer, essentially a top-tier fighter. The research regarding the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave involved a vast scope.

If someone were to learn some of the secrets within the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave, it might even pose a threat to the entire Great Lan Dynasty.

Therefore, research in this area was being conducted very secretly.

"Simply put, we have a Formation on our side that blocks the demons from descending upon the Great Lan Dynasty, merely suppressing the demons within the Demon Domain."

"But in the core of the Demon Domain, there is also a Formation. This Formation is equivalent to a teleportation array, continuously transporting demons from the Demon Realm into the Demon Domain!"

"As long as this Formation is not destroyed, this Demon Domain will continue to exist, and the number of demons will only increase."

Zong Yuan said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xian, who was listening on the side, suddenly realized the truth. Although, given his cultivation and vision, he had long suspected this, he hadn't expected that such a situation truly existed within the Demon Domain.

"There is also a Formation? Was this specially set up by someone? Are these Heaven-Grade demons being specifically summoned and opened by someone?"

Lu Qian was shocked when she heard this.

She quickly thought.

It was highly likely that someone wanted to summon these Heaven-Grade demons to destroy the entire continent, or perhaps for some other ulterior motive.

"It is hard to know what the other party's purpose is. If one were to trace this matter back, there is simply no way to find the source."

"Although the Formation at the core of the Demon Domain has been relatively stable over the years, it is actually expanding..."

When Zong Yuan mentioned these secrets, there seemed to be a sense of unburdening. After all, this secret had been hidden in his heart for too long. At the same time, there was also a desire to reveal these secrets to those who didn't know, and to look forward to seeing expressions of shock in their eyes.

However, Jiang Chen directly raised his hand.

"Stop... You're dragging this on too long."

"Do you know what level the Formation in the Demon Domain is?"

Jiang Chen asked directly.

He wasn't here to listen to stories.

Destroying the entire Heaven-Grade Demon Cave would also reward him with cultivation points.

If he let the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave continue to exist in the Great Lan Dynasty, it would be dangerous for Cheng Yurou and the others. Jiang Chen needed to create a safer environment for them.

As for being able to release more demons to gain enemy killing value?

Since there was a Heaven-Grade Demon Cave here, there must be others elsewhere.

When the time came, Jiang Chen could find a place, improve his strength, and then enter the Demon Realm to slaughter them; wouldn't that be safer?

Therefore, Jiang Chen only needed to understand some key information now, and he could start acting.

"According to our estimates, it is at least a Grade 7 Formation."

"At most, it won't exceed Grade 8!"

A Grade 7 Formation!

It was estimated that the entire Great Lan Dynasty couldn't even scrape together a few Grade 7 Formation Masters.

However, for Jiang Chen, no matter what kind of Formation it was, as long as it didn't exceed Grade 8, he could break it.

If it exceeded Grade 8, he would just have to forcefully break it.

"Then, what obstacles are there on the way to the location of the Formation?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Since Zong Yuan and the others had been researching for so long, they must have made some discoveries.

"Based on what we know so far, in the core of the Demon Domain, there should be at least one Heavenly Martial Realm demon."

"Furthermore, this Heavenly Martial Realm demon possesses some kind of special ability, capable of releasing a Domain effect!"

Zong Yuan said.

This could be considered a secret belonging to the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave.

Even the four Commanders did not have the authority to know this.

But Zong Yuan knew clearly.

If this matter were told to Jiang Chen, it might be of great help.

At the very least, one thing was certain: Jiang Chen would definitely not do anything detrimental to the Great Lan Dynasty at the moment. Moreover, Jiang Chen was a person with a strong sense of justice, always rushing to the front lines whenever slaying demons!

If Jiang Chen wanted to do anything against the Great Lan Dynasty, he could have started long ago.

"Heavenly Martial Realm demon, special ability... Domain..."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Then I have a rough idea."

"You all wait for me outside. I'll go check out the situation."

Jiang Chen said.

He immediately intended to personally head into the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave to investigate, hoping to resolve it directly.

This way, when he went to cause trouble for the Song family, he wouldn't need to worry about the affairs of the Great Lan Dynasty.

With the strength currently in Cheng Yurou's hands, even if the Great Lan Dynasty's imperial family were to mobilize their entire force, they would be unable to shake Ziyun Villa. On the contrary, this Demon Cave was the real uncertain factor.

"Jiang Chen... this is the map. I have marked the terrain inside the Demon Domain. If you notice anything wrong, you can immediately crush the Jade Slip, and we will rush in to find you at the first opportunity."

Lu Qian said hurriedly, stuffing a map and a Jade Slip into Jiang Chen's hands.
