Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2688 The Insect Kingdom Enters the Realm

Qin Sang carefully recalled the feeling when she released the Emperor's Jade Edict, and became even more convinced of her judgment. The Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction in the Emperor's Jade Edict was more like a trigger, which was equivalent to the Emperor's Demon Kingdom directly dealing with a Six Desires Demon Lord, so it was naturally able to kill him.

However, it is not as easy as it seems. Qin Sang and Luo Luo Demon Lord need to use the Emperor's Jade Edict to hit the true form of the Heavenly Demon for it to be effective.

With this judgment, Qin Sang adjusted his understanding of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction. He tried to use the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction as a guide to understand the Dao realm hidden in the Emperor's Demon Kingdom, but the progress was not smooth.

Qin Sang realized that he had been too ambitious, after all, he was still far from the Mahayana stage.

When he adjusted his mindset and continued to focus on comprehending the Emperor Rainbow Demonic Restriction, things returned to normal as before, and as time went on, his understanding continued to change.

It turns out that the Imperial Rainbow Demon Forbidden Zone is not just a key or a catalyst, but more like a skeleton that supports Yuan Zaitian and even the Emperor's Demon Kingdom.

The Free Heavenly Demon was sealed within Emperor Tianzi's body, which in turn imprisoned Emperor Tianzi himself. However, their Dao realms could still operate and intertwine on their own, likely because they were both supported by some kind of 'skeleton'.

It is unknown what supports the Free Heaven Demon Kingdom, but the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction within the Emperor Demon Kingdom must be the key. That is why the Emperor Emperor left behind the celestial child Emperor Rainbow, hoping that someone could control the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction to help him.

While comprehending the Emperor Rainbow Demonic Restriction, Qin Sang pondered and came to understand many things.

While they understood the situation, they still had no clue how to use the Imperial Rainbow Demon Restriction to assist the Emperor.

At present, Qin Sang could only continue to comprehend the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction. When the curtain in front of him expanded to its limit, it suddenly disappeared into thin air.

It turns out that Qin Sang's mastery of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction no longer required such deduction. He could use the Yuanzai Token to intervene in the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction in the Yuanzai Heaven, studying and deducing at the same time, increasing efficiency several times over.

During the deduction process, Qin Sang gradually tried to control the Emperor Rainbow Magic Restriction, but of course, it was still limited to a small range.

When he first received the Yuanzai Token, although he could directly sense the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction in the void, his perception range was greatly limited. Now, however, his perception range is constantly expanding outward.

Qin Sang now understands the abilities of the Immortal Child Emperor Rainbow. Although it was born from the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, the pressure caused by the demons was too great, and it was unable to take shape before. It was only after Qin Sang and the others killed the Heavenly Demon and relieved the pressure that it was able to appear. The range of its perception is limited to that area.

After all, Qin Sang is not the true master yet, and there are still large areas in Yuan Zai Tian that they cannot directly perceive for the time being.

Of course, despite the fact that Emperor Tianzi Peak is so close, it remains a restricted area.

Qin Sang knew that she would not be able to set foot on Emperor Tianzi Peak before she had achieved sufficient mastery of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, so she simply gave up trying and expanded her perception range.

His perception followed the trajectory of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, continuously expanding to include one immortal mountain after another within his perception range.

From these sacred mountains, Qin Sang saw things he had never seen before. They seemed not to be mountains, but rather illusions formed by the power of the Dao Realm, yet they were real and astonishing.

When Qin Sang's perception range extended beyond the Qianmo Tower, she sensed the Yang God's intent.

Through the connection between his true self and the Yang God, he learned about the encounter between the Yang God and the Demon Lord Luo Luo.

Immediately, Qin Sang developed a strong interest in that peculiar ancient palace.

The ancient temple has so many illogical aspects that it was clearly being deliberately favored by some force.

Was Emperor Tianzi the master of Yuan Zaitian, someone he specially cared for back then? And why would he care for a seemingly ordinary ancient palace? What secrets lie within that ancient palace?

Curiosity drove Qin Sang to extend her senses in that direction.

His perception range expanded to the celestial palace complex. With his current 'perspective,' he could easily distinguish between reality and illusion, knowing which celestial palaces were real and which were illusions.

Qin Sang even vaguely sensed an extremely magnificent ancient formation.

This ancient formation should be the remnant formation that Yang Shen deduced was protecting the Immortal Palace complex, and it is still in operation. However, Yang Shen guessed one thing wrong: there is no independent large formation here. Each Immortal Palace in the Immortal Palace complex is actually part of the ancient formation, which is why there are those illusions of Immortal Palaces.

It is unclear whether this ancient formation is isolated or part of the Emperor's Demon Kingdom. Although Qin Sang can extend his senses through the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction and distinguish between reality and illusion, he will also encounter more questions and confusions.

After observing for a while, Qin Sang continued to approach the ancient hall.

In front of the ancient palace.

After repeated failures, Yang Shen and Luo Luo Demon Lord had exhausted all their tricks and were still unable to enter the ancient palace.

Lord Luo Luo frowned as he looked at the palace gate. Despite being so close, it felt like an insurmountable chasm separated them. The stranger the palace was, the greater the secret it held. How could they possibly give up?

"Fellow Daoist, do you think it might be because of Bao Huangtian?" Demon Lord Luo Luo was unwilling to give up this hope.

Although they had acquired many treasures before, they had no clue about the entrance to the Treasure Yellow Heaven that they were most looking forward to.

Perhaps the entrance to Baohuangtian is located within the ancient temple.

Luo Luo Demon Lord looked at Qin Sangyang God, only to see him looking up at the sky with a mysterious smile on his lips.

Suddenly, Luo Luo Demon Lord's heart tightened, and he felt a chill inexplicably, as if a gaze had fallen on him. But when he tried to trace the source of the gaze, he found it was Qin Sangyang God beside him.

Strangely, even though Qin Sangyang was right beside him, the gaze seemed to come from a distance.

“I will try to open the ancient palace. Once this matter is settled, fellow Daoist, you may come up and speak,” Qin Sangyang said, though in reality, he was speaking to Demon Lord Luo Luo.

At the same time, strange fluctuations emerged in the void, enveloping the ancient palace.

Luo Luo Demon Lord immediately realized something and was shocked. Qin Sang's true form had clearly ascended to the sea of ​​clouds with the immortal child Di Hong. At this moment, even though his true form had not appeared, he could still exert influence on the ancient palace. It seemed that the benefits he had gained up there were greater than he had imagined.

Unaware of what Qin Sang had obtained, Demon Lord Luo Luo couldn't help but feel envious, but he also knew that Qin Sang had earned it all through her own strength.

Before he finished speaking, Qin Sangyang suddenly vanished without a trace.

Luo Luo Demon Lord wanted to see what was inside, so he flew back a distance and stopped to observe.

At this moment, Qin Sang was observing this ancient palace through the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction. Surprisingly, in his eyes, just like Yang Shen and Luo Luo Demon Lord, this palace was only considered ordinary among the Immortal Palaces.

"strangeness!"

Qin Sang was greatly puzzled.

This ancient temple was so ordinary, yet when he tried to sense its interior through the Emperor Rainbow Magic Restriction, he was met with resistance.

When the Celestial Palace Emperor Hong handed over the Yuanzai Token to him, it meant that every corner of Yuanzai Heaven would be open to him. However, an obstacle appeared here, but it was completely different from the Emperor Tianzi Peak.

Despite the obstacles, the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction was omnipresent, and Qin Sang tried her best to gradually infiltrate it with her senses.

This ancient temple is neither an illusion nor located in another dimension; it has simply been sealed away by some kind of force.

Could it be that this place was specially chosen by the Emperor, causing the relationship between the Emperor Rainbow Demon Forbidden Zone and the Emperor's Demon Kingdom to become unbalanced here?

Qin Sang's senses gradually penetrated, passing through the outer wall, and finally revealed a glimpse of the interior of the ancient hall.

Before long, the scene inside the hall came into view.

The interior of the ancient hall was not large, divided into two levels. The upper level only had a cloud-shaped platform, while the lower level had tables and chairs, with cups and saucers on the tables, suggesting it was the cave dwelling of a cultivator.

Judging from the interior furnishings and decorations, this monk must have preferred tranquility.

It looks like an ordinary cave dwelling, yet it is extraordinary in every way.

Qin Sang continued to trace the source of everything through the Emperor Rainbow Magic Restriction and finally discovered that the source of all the abnormality came from an object in the corner of the cave.

It was a milky white stone bead, very small, embedded in the wall, forming a decorative pattern with other stone beads, and it turned out to be the source of all the strangeness.

When Qin Sang stared at the stone bead, she noticed that the space there seemed to be distorted, as if to suppress the stone bead, which was shimmering with an unusual light.

There are hundreds of stone beads embedded there, but this one is special!

"Could it be..."

Qin Sang recalled what the Demon Lord Luo Luo had said: the entrance to the Treasure Yellow Heaven might be contained in the most ordinary items, and even mortals would have the opportunity to come into contact with them.

Could this unassuming stone bead be the very object entrusted to the entrance of Baohuangtian?

When did Bao Huangtian project the entrance in?

Qin Sang speculated that it must have been before the demonic tide entered the realm, since Yuan Zaitian subsequently became the battlefield of the two powerful beings, isolated from the world.

But why did the Emperor want to suppress the stone bead?

According to the Demon Lord Luo Luo's idea, why didn't the Emperor Emperor ask the Heavenly Lord Bao Huang for help through the stone bead, but instead waited for a mysterious and elusive destined person?

As one of the Ten Celestial Venerables, as long as the Lord of Treasure Yellow Heaven descends, he will surely be able to force back that Free and Unfettered Heavenly Demon.

What is the Emperor worried about?

Thinking of this, Qin Sang suddenly felt a chill. How could the Ten Heavenly Venerables have any problems? Moreover, it was when Emperor Tianzi still had the strength to suppress this stone bead. The time when he suppressed this stone bead should not be far from the time when the demon tide entered the realm. That was when the Ten Heavenly Venerables joined forces to save the demon realm, and their fame was illustrious and they were at the height of their power!

Perhaps the Emperor and the Lord of the Yellow Emperor have a past grudge, and asking him for help would only bring another powerful enemy.

Qin Sang's thoughts were churning, and he quickly suppressed his many distracting ideas. After all, the truth was still unclear, and everything he had done was just speculation or even conjecture.

However, without realizing it, Qin Sang had already developed a sense of wariness towards Bao Huangtian.

Seeing that the ancient palace had not opened for a long time, Demon Lord Luo Luo couldn't help but climb the stone steps and come up above the sea of ​​clouds.

Of course, he couldn't see the Emperor, only the celestial mountains and the celestial child Di Hong standing respectfully beside Qin Sang.

He keenly sensed that the Immortal Child Emperor Rainbow's attitude towards Qin Sang was completely different, clearly treating him as someone of inferior status.

Then he noticed something in Qin Sang's hand, and a guess formed in his mind. He asked excitedly, "Has the immortal child acknowledged you, fellow Daoist?"

He couldn't imagine that Qin Sang would become the master of Yuan Zaitian and the Immortal Child Emperor Rainbow. He believed that as long as Qin Sang gained recognition, they would obtain immeasurable benefits.

Qin Sang didn't reveal the truth, but only said, "Although I can use the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction to slay the demon, comprehending the Demon Restriction is not an easy task. During this time, you can meditate nearby or continue to explore the Immortal Palace. You can go to any of those places."

Demon Lord Luo Luo breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Sang's willingness to say that proved they were finally safe. Once they had wiped out all the demons in Yuanzaitian, they could take over this grotto-heaven.

"What did you see inside that ancient temple, fellow Daoist?" Luo Luo Demon Lord pressed.

"A strange seal..."

Qin Sang did not tell Luo Luo the truth.

He dared not take the risk; he absolutely could not open the entrance to Baohuangtian within Yuanzaitian. It was better to continue suppressing it. Now, there was no need to take that path. Yuanzaitian was their only refuge, and no accidents could be allowed to occur.

At least we have to wait until he helps the Emperor kill the demon, and then the Emperor can make the final decision.

As for Lord Luoluo, it's best to abandon his idea of ​​seeking help from Lord Baohuang for the time being.

After listening to Qin Sang's fabricated story, Demon Lord Luo Luo was somewhat disappointed, but not too surprised. He asked Qin Sang some more questions, then became attracted by the nearby immortal palaces and attempted to break the seal.

Qin Sang glanced at the stone bead one last time, carefully withdrew her senses, and returned to normal.

……

In a corner of the Yuan Dynasty sky, Qin Sang sensed a place that had not yet been reached.

The giant shrimp demon insect had just entered this realm when it subdued a celestial demon. Then, it continued its efforts, just like Qin Sang and the others had done before, breaking into several more cages and gathering more and more celestial demons under its command.

Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo had tried to capture him alive, but each time they were about to succeed, the Heavenly Demon would inexplicably commit suicide. Qin Sang now understood that it was probably a principle established by the Free Heavenly Demon within the Demon Kingdom.

But what they couldn't do, the giant shrimp demon worm did. The demons prostrated themselves before the giant shrimp demon worm, but they didn't submit to the giant shrimp demon worm itself, but rather to the aura emanating from it.

That aura was mysterious and unfathomable; it was the power of the Demon Lord of the Universe!

It was with this power that the giant shrimp demon worm subdued the demons and snatched them away from the original demon lord!

All the demons submitted.

The giant shrimp-like insect stood upright, looking down at the torrent of heavenly demons before it, its insect eyes flashing with sharp light.

"Ho ho ho..."

It uttered strange syllables.

The demons, who had been silent, now roared along with the giant shrimp demon insect. The roar and the voice of the giant shrimp demon insect gradually merged and eventually became one.

The voice seemed to be summoning some unknown being across billions of miles of void.

Outside Yuanzai Heaven, the insect fields scattered throughout the northern Demon Realm all simultaneously began to stir.

The insect field closest to Yuan Zaitian was where the insect lord led his swarm of insects to gather at its edge.

Suddenly, the void in front of them tore open, forming a terrifying black rift that led nowhere.

Faced with this opening, the swarm of insects charged in without hesitation.

Meanwhile, inside Yuan Zaitian, the summoning of the giant shrimp demon worm was nearing its end.

The torrent of celestial demons before him ignited with eerie flames, igniting countless demons within them, which in turn strengthened the flames, making them sacrifices for this ritual.

'boom!'

A tremendous tremor shook the void.

The giant shrimp-like demon worm raised its forelimbs high, and the demonic fire transformed from the dead demon surged towards its forelimbs. With a loud bang, it melted the void and tore open a passage.

"Buzzing..."

The chirping of insects filled the air as the demonic insects surged in, an endless, dark swarm that seemed to have no end.

The Insect Kingdom has entered the border! (End of Chapter)
