Chapter 268 No trace

Jiang Mu didn't know what the old land looked like before, but now the old land is really more like a fairyland than a fairyland.

Only three hundred years have passed since the old madman detonated the final act.

Even the female inner demon laments,

"This place is no different from our time."

"But this doesn't mean it's a good thing. I guess the old madman will eventually detonate the fifth wave of apocalypse. I'm starting to worry about whether my fairy city can hold on."

Jiang Mu was worried. At this moment, he and the female inner demon had gone far into the old land. The scenery along the way was picturesque, the spirit of the fairies was extremely rich, and the birds and beasts were everywhere. The vitality was breathtaking.

Even somewhat unreal.

"There used to be a city here." The female inner demon suddenly pointed to a very ordinary mountain road ahead. The huge trees on the mountain were towering into the sky, and the huge tree crowns covered everything, like the undulating green ocean. There was no trace of a city here.

Jiang Mu stepped on the door and flew his sword, brushing against the tree crown. The sword intention of Taixu resonated here, and in an instant, a colorful world appeared in his heart.

But there were no ruins of the city, and there was no relevant information.

"Huh?"

Jiang Mu was surprised. His Taixu Sword Intent resonance was very advantageous in understanding the vicissitudes of the past and the changes in time.

For example, if he is in the homeland of the human race, even if tens of billions of years pass, he can still resonate through the earth to hear some things that happened in the past.

But at this moment, he could only resonate with the growth and decay of the forest, an endless cycle.

"You remember it wrong!"

Jiang Mu asked deliberately, although he also knew that the possibility of the female demon's memory being wrong was very low.

"This city is here, built on the mountain. The city is planted with rocking willows, and there is a white tower built in the city. There are wind chimes on the tower. The breeze passes by, and the sound of the bells can be heard far away."

The female inner demon showed a look of nostalgia, and even her eyes became much gentler.

At this moment, she shouldn't mind whether she is alone or a demon.

"What is the name of this city?" Jiang Mu asked.

But the female inner demon shook her head, "It doesn't matter whether it has a name or not. This city has completely died, even the corpse has rotted. I can't find the last trace."

"Then do you know how this city was destroyed?"

"I don't know, I have completely lost my sense of time. I don't know whether it was you who saved me from certain death, or whether I survived countless years and then met you in the inner magic stone."

"One thing, you are indeed right. My current state is not quite right. I thought I was a demon. But when I returned to my hometown, at this moment, I suddenly felt unsure."

"If I were a demon, I shouldn't feel this way. But if I were a human being, it means that my body is probably dead."

"But how can a peerless immortal die?"

"Or, how could our era be destroyed?"

The female inner demon murmured to herself. Jiang Mu didn't speak this time because he didn't know the answer either, and he came here just to find the answer.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of towering trees on the top of the mountain were chopped off, leaving an area free. Jiang Mu and the inner demon fell down. This should be where the White Tower she said was located. Logically speaking, there should be some information left.

Pressing his hand on the ground, the resonance of Taixu's sword intent was released as strong as possible, but after a moment, Jiang Mu sighed, still finding nothing.

This shouldn't be the case, because his resonance can even be traced back to when the Nine Immortal Clan rebuilt the Immortal World.

That period of time should not be far from the demise of the previous era.

So there shouldn’t be a situation where resonance cannot be achieved after too long.

So excluding all possibilities, the biggest truth may be the destruction of the world itself.

There is a certain kind of incomparably powerful and terrifying force that, starting from the very core of the imprint, completely erases it, leaving no trace and no chance of recovery.

Even if Jiang Mu has never been exposed to this kind of power, just thinking about it at this moment gives him a creepy feeling.

There is an old saying in the human race that you can kill with just a nod of the head, but if you take a life, you can still leave a corpse.

Even if you are cut into pieces with thousands of swords and your body is shattered into pieces, some traces can still be left behind.

And something like this is so hopeless.

"Could this be what the world-destroying demon did?"

Jiang Mu was thinking in his heart, only feeling uneasy.

In fact, the World-Destroying Demon was really just a guess on his part. Before coming to the old land, he was only 40% sure of the matter.

So now there are 50%.

"There is no point in continuing to search. I think all the cities, fairy formations, and caves in the previous era are all like this. Don't you find it strange?"

"Obviously the topography has not changed much, but those important clues and traces have completely disappeared."

"This is very unreasonable, so I think we need to change our strategy."

"What strategy?" The inner demon rarely agreed with Jiang Mu's suggestion.

"I need you to help me break through that dual cultivation method!" Jiang Mu said solemnly.

"You are kidding!" The female inner demon immediately refused, "Absolutely impossible! Even if I am the inner demon, I will not be so cheap. I have been deceived by you once, and there will never be a second time."

"Double cultivation of immortality is good for both you and me. I don't believe you don't understand this. If you don't want my body, at least you have to have hope in the future! Is it to turn me into a human or to replace you?

Body?"

Jiang Mu persuaded him earnestly, this kind of dual cultivation method is very magical, but since it is dual cultivation, he definitely can't work hard on his own, and the burden of shaving his head is too hot. This is not possible.

"Absolutely not, I would rather be a demon for the rest of my life!" As a result, the female demon was extremely determined.

"In that case, does it mean that you still have a sweetheart?" Jiang Mu could only guess this way.

"Nonsense!" The female inner demon sneered, "Don't use provoking methods. I will never practice dual cultivation with you. In addition, I know your thoughts and your method of resonating with the Taixu Sword Intent, but I still advise you.

Don’t waste your efforts, because if I can’t do it, you can’t even do it.”

"Then let's make a bet? Just within the limits of this White Tower City, if I can't find the cause of death within a hundred years, I will swear to the great road that I will never force myself to practice dual cultivation of immortality again in this life, let alone myself.

How about practicing secretly?"

"Another bet? The last bet hasn't been revealed yet, but so what if I bet with you! If you really find out the reason, then so what if I will practice dual cultivation with you!" The inner demon sneered, and she was finally convinced.

Guys, you are too confident.

"It's a deal!" Although Jiang Mu didn't have a clue in his heart, he still had to bet, otherwise, he was afraid that the inner demon would have other ideas.
