The majestic mountains are continuous and spread for countless thousands of miles. Each peak has its own territory, each valley and each cave are full of inspiration and moving energy.

At the end of the mountains, a huge spiritual peak stands tall on the earth like the spine of the world, with clouds and mist hanging halfway up the mountainside, creating a heavenly palace-like situation.

This is the famous mountain resort in Jukuzhou, a sacred place recognized and enshrined by the demon clan, Bashan.

Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi were flying in the clouds, and the mountains, rivers, sun, moon, rivers, forests and seas all flashed by like floating lights.

Bashan is originally a large-scale blessed land community derived from the ancient immortal spirits left behind in the human world. Led by the main peak of the Immortal Mountain, there are a full 108 top-grade Qi veins surrounding it in the form of mountains, peaks, canyons, underground rivers, etc.

Around it, it nourishes millions of miles in radius, creating hundreds of thousands of mountains and corresponding spiritual blessings.

Even if the human race rises, creates foundations, and occupies some territory, the witch doctor school and ancient monks such as Wanshou Palace who control monsters or make full use of local resources are still the mainstream.

There is a cave on the top of Bashan Mountain, called the Palace of Demon Gods. The demon clan regards it as a holy place. All the demon gods live inside, and their relatives rule the mountains outside. The great leader and chief of the entire demon clan alliance is called Bashan Lord.

Since the Middle Ages, the human race has gradually replaced other spiritual species and become the protagonist of the world. This is the only place where the demon race still retains a large-scale settlement. The other place is in the sea, where the siren race lives.

The demon gods on the sea have long since disappeared. Some natural demon gods sleep in the deep sea and have never appeared in the human world in this century. Therefore, the sea demons are scattered everywhere and are not systematic. However, the inheritance of the Demon God Palace is still there. Bashan Jun’s father is Yujiu, the great master of the tiger clan.

One of the great sages went to the Demon God Palace thousands of years ago.

It is said that this is most likely an ancient ascension ritual. The demon clan follows the old ways and always adheres to the concept of dividing heaven and earth. The Demon God Palace is the demon clan's own heaven, so the demon gods who go there are also called heavenly demons or great saints.

.

When Li Zhen and others were heading towards Bashan, escaping lights could be seen flying from time to time on the nearby mountains, in the sky, and in the forest.

A series of qi machines appeared in it, which were the demon cultivators, big and small, heading towards Bashan.

Li Zhen watched from a distance and found that those were all demon cultivators who had transformed into spirits. There were only a few foundation-building masters in his sect, and they were everywhere here.

"It is really a good place for the earthly spirits and monsters. Such a fairy mountain benefits the earth. The rich spiritual energy has created countless heavenly materials, earthly treasures and innate Tao bodies. The entire monster clan has benefited from this!"

When I see him, the ancestor of Xiangdao, I can only envy him.

Ju Yan, who was on the side, said quietly: "The real name of the Ten Thousand Demons Association is the Ten Thousand Kings Association. Bashan Jun is actually the king of all beasts of our demon cultivator clan. In the ancient times, there were more than ten thousand masters of the demon king realm."

This time she also went to Bashan as a demon king attending the meeting, and Li Zhen and the others followed her.

In recent times, she has teamed up with Yu Kai, Xiong Ba, Lu Ding and other powerful demon kings to protect Li Zhen, using the false identity of "Li Zhen" from the human race.

At this point, Li Zhen had successfully sneaked into this large gathering within the demon clan and had achieved most of his goal of eating one or two fruits.

Hearing Ju Ming's words, Li Zhen smiled faintly.

What Ju Ming is talking about is from the old almanac, so at least it must be before the ancient era that there would be such a grand gathering of kings.

Why did it change its name to the Ten Thousand Demons Society? Is it because it couldn’t gather that many kings and was too embarrassed to brag about it?

However, there is a saying that even a broken ship has three thousand nails. The demon clan cannot gather tens of thousands of kings now, but there are probably one, two thousand, two or three thousand.

A feudal territory, a tribe with one or two demon kings, just like the medium-sized or above forces of the human race, then there are thousands of forces.

In addition to the powerful tribes corresponding to the human race's immortal sect, there are three or five emperors, hundreds of demon kings, and the dozen or so tribes are close to a thousand.

The foundation of the Monster Clan is indeed very profound. The Queluo Immortal Mansion owned by our sect is just a private cave with great power to transform gods. It cannot be compared with it at all. Its target should be the entire human race.

Suddenly, Li Zhen set his eyes on the top of Bashan Mountain, the top of Tianzhu Peak.

Amid the clouds and mist, an indescribably huge sacred tree soared into the sky, leading to the void of the outer realm with a majestic attitude.

It seemed to have traveled between two realms. The trunk of the tree was surrounded by fissures in the void, and below it was the misty sea of ​​clouds.

Looking up from below, one can see an indescribable mystery and depth in it.

"That's...the sacred tree?"

Ju Ming followed Li Zhen's gaze and glanced up, then quickly looked back: "Yes, that is the Jianmu Sacred Tree that climbs to the sky and can directly lead to the Demon God Palace. Don't stare at it. The Sacred Tree has spirit and will pay attention.

On to you!"

In fact, Li Zhen also had a vague premonition. He looked away and asked: "Jianmu? Isn't it an anti-soul tree?"

Ju Ming said: "The sacred tree is a name for a large category. Who told you that there is only one sacred tree? The fruits eaten by the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering are picked from the sacred tree over there."

Li Zhen looked over where Gu Ming was pointing, but he saw another mountain thousands of miles away that was only one-tenth the size of Bashan, but it was also the location of a majestic mountain. The aura rose into the sky, and a big tree stood silently.

Growing under the pillar of holy light.

"That's... Divine Bird Mountain?"

Ju Ming said: "Yes, there are many trees in the Divine Bird Mountain, similar to maples, and the flowers and leaves are fragrant for hundreds of miles. They are called anti-soul trees. They are actually caused by the falling of the sacred tree species on Bashan Mountain. Building

Mu Na is the source of all wood plants, also known as the ancestor of wood.

It's a pity that even this Jianmu is not the only one between heaven and earth. It is one of the Jianmu tribe in the prehistoric times. It is said that in the Middle Ages, there was also one in the human race."

When Li Zhen heard the word Muzu, he understood it instantly.

"I have read this legend in classics... I remembered that sacred trees like Jianmu really like to grow at the edge of the gap between the fairy mountain and the vast world. They are naturally the ladder to the sky.

But another building tree connecting to the heaven has been cut off by a certain great power. Since then, the medieval heaven has declined, and the ascension has become a legend."

Looking back from the theory of the origin of all things, the Jianmu Sacred Tree should be regarded as the source of the secondary generation.

It is equivalent to the Konggu Orchid of Xiangdao. It is also a genus of Orchid and has a huge group.

Mu Qingsi suddenly asked: "Why is it that there is only a secondary generation source and not the original source? Logically speaking, there was only one real building tree after the creation of the world, and all the origins and legends related to it came from this."

Li Zhidao said: "You are right, there was indeed such a tree, but the wooden road is one of the spiritual essences that constitute the five elements, so it is naturally the great road!

Throughout the ages, countless demon gods, immortals, celestial demons, great sages, and powerful men from all races have been plotting against Him. Moreover, when the original Jianmu grew on the top of the world, it was so conspicuous and ostentatious, how could it possibly survive?"

When Li Zhen said this, he stopped explaining. Mu Qingsi already understood.

As the saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind... It is just like a wooden target!

In contrast, Taichu Youlan, who exists as Xiangzu, is much more low-key and secretive.

He grew up in the underworld, and is naturally hidden. Not everyone can even see the orchid in the empty valley of the next generation. How can an ordinary and powerful person find it?

This situation also shows that in the battle between the great avenues, it is not necessarily the strongest who will win the final victory. The first tree between heaven and earth is too big and too rich in spiritual energy, and it will be cut down instead.

Of course, this kind of divine object does not matter life or death. After it was cut off, it immediately inherited its spiritual essence in another form, and even evolved into a huge ethnic group. The origin of Mu Dao is also rooted in all things in the world, which can be regarded as another

A success in a sense.

The spirit of wood and path is everywhere, but the fragrance and spirit of fragrance and path are not necessarily visible. How can this be said in one sentence, success or failure?

Calculated in this way, the Anti-Soul Tree can be said to be the third generation ancestor of trees. No wonder it is not counted as a Jianmu, but it is also classified as a sacred tree.

The descendants of the demon god are sub-gods, demigods, and then divine creatures, spiritual seeds...

These are directly related to the differentiation of the spiritual source.

The sacred tree retains considerable spiritual energy due to its long life and small number of reproduction generations. The spiritual energy of the wooden path is everywhere, and it is relatively easy to regroup.

He can be regarded as a kind of living fossil. It is very likely that he was born millions of years ago in the medieval era, or even further back in ancient times, ancient times, and prehistoric times...

…

About three hours later, Li Zhen and others, led by Gu Ming, arrived at the location where the Ten Thousand Demons Meeting was held, Bashan City under Bashan Mountain.

Although this place is named a city, it is actually a very primitive village, just a bit larger in scale.

This village is built on several ridges at the bottom of Bashan Mountain. The high cliffs are natural walls, and there is a basin with a radius of hundreds of miles inside, which is suspected to be a spring where spiritual energy gathers.

The closer we get, the more demon cultivators, large and small, with animal heads and human bodies are active in the mountains, forests or in the sky, gathering together with their own abilities.

Here, Li Zhen saw various demon cultivators in the form of birds and animals, each with a different spirit, fragrance, and smell.

"You guys, come here to investigate. Which mountain top and which cave are you from?"

Guarding the head of the city is a huge evil dog, each of which uses metal, wood, water, fire, and earth spirits to flow around, forming a head of flames, ice crystals, metal, vegetation, earth and stone, lying there like a hill, nearly a hundred feet long.

.

Such a shape is the manifestation of his demon body. This demon king obviously has a good status. In this Bashan City, the demon king can live so casually.

Around it, dozens of dog-headed demon cultivators were holding swords, guns, or documents. They were interrogating the visitors one by one and registering them in a register.

Among them, there are also those who have transformed completely. Except for the big canine ears on their heads or the big fluffy tails trailing behind their buttocks, they are no different from humans in other places.

"General Dog, it's me." Gu Ming flew down.

Everyone followed closely behind, and they all landed on the ground and passed.

"Hmm? You are the disciple of the Seventh Holy Peak, this is Qing Ji, and you are..."

Inuda moved his gaze behind Gu Ming and found the unfamiliar Li Zhen and others.

It put its nose close to Li Zhen and smelled it with some doubts. It couldn't help but its eyes lit up and it sincerely praised: "What a Taoist friend with extraordinary spiritual power, he must be a good person."

Li Zhen also smelled his scent subconsciously: "Uh..."

Mu Qingsi laughed secretly and said through the voice: "Husband, it seems to have a talent for smelling fragrance."

General Dog said: "That girl, your aura is similar to his, are you his Taoist companion?"

Mu Qingsi was secretly surprised and said hurriedly: "Yes."

"Okay then, you can go in and just tell my sons."

The group entered the corridor inside the city gate, where they announced their names and passed smoothly.
To be continued...
