Jiang Xiaobai nonchalantly nodded as he pinched the token in his hand.
This way, he would have a chance. He could search for resources everywhere to prepare for breaking through the realm in order to complete the task.
He only had seven days, a tight timeframe.
Then Jiang Xiaobai surveyed his surroundings, noticing that almost everyone chose to take a rest and recharge their spiritual energy.
Clearly, those who can do this must have a thorough understanding of Mad Demon Valley.
Apart from the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, a large group, the rest were an assembly from the Four Sects and Five Mountains, and the rest were family forces or rogue practitioners from the jianghu.
These people, in twos and threes, had expressions of terrified survivors on their faces. It appeared they didn’t comprehend the Mad Demon Valley.
Seeing that people all around them had stopped to rest, those who didn’t know the situation dared not approach. They also settled down to rest.
However, there were many people who felt they had some strength and were rather lucky. They didn’t choose to rest there and instead, rushed straight ahead.
After all, everyone knew that both opportunities and resources were limited, so it was first come, first served.
There were nearly three to four thousand cultivators who entered the Mad Demon Valley this time, but only nearly three thousand made it through the first part of the road so far.
So, that means that during the last section of the Mad Demon Road, nearly a thousand people perished!
“This Mad Demon Valley is really strange,” Jiang Xiaobai said slowly.
“Don’t be too naive. The terror and danger of the Mad Demon Valley doesn’t compare to anything you could imagine.”
At this moment, Xiao Yuwei, who was next to him, spoke calmly: “For many long years, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty has stood firm, unable to fully explore the Mad Demon Valley. All we can do is gain a rudimentary understanding of it.”
“There are far too many unforeseeable dangers on the road ahead, and a moment of carelessness can result in death.’
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t refute this. He agreed with her completely.
Just the previous section where the mad demons were amassed was testament to the danger of the Mad Demon Valley. Let alone, only Jiang Xiaobai understood what it meant for a place to retain the atmosphere of a post-heaven spiritual treasure.
Thus, he was filled with curiosity about what was about to happen.
“I’d like to see for myself what post-heaven spiritual treasure could appear here.”
Jiang Xiaobai had long known that the biggest opportunity for him in this trip to the Mad Demon Secret Land was perhaps this residual aura of the post-heaven spiritual treasure.
If both his mentors could get the chance to absorb all the aura of the post-heaven spiritual treasures here, the seals of the world here would inevitably weaken, which meant Jiang Xiaobai’s combat power would be greatly enhanced.
“I should first think about how to escape from Xiao Yuwei’s control when the time comes. The system mission is most important.” “Only by doing so can I better achieve my own goals.”
Jiang Xiaobai said to himself.
Then, under the dim light, he sat on the ground and cultivated like the others, bringing his spiritual power to its peak state.
Only little more than an hour had passed when Xiao Yuwei opened her eyes.
Not only that, many people around her began to stand up one after another.
The rest time was over. Next, they would embark on an even more dangerous journey.
Xiao Yuwei kept her mouth shut, not telling Jiang Xiaobai all the news she knew. She did this to prevent Jiang Xiaobai from knowing the situation here and thus knowing how to confront it.
If he fled directly at that time, she, Xiao Yuwei, would be screwed.
She would lose so many resources and vital information, and perhaps be retaliated against by Jiang Xiaobai.
So Jiang Xiaobai knew nothing about what would happen later, and didn’t act recklessly.
The main team set off, moving at a steady pace towards the rear.
The further they moved on, the wider the space of Mad Demon Valley seemed to Jiang Xiaobai. Only then did Xiao Yuwei realise that this Mad Demon Valley was like a subterranean world.
Darkness was everywhere, the space was very vast, and danger lurked at every possible spot.
“Boss, I feel like we’re being watched as we walk around here,” AnRan said to Qin Ming as they walked.
“Could it be those mad demon-like monsters still following us?”
“Impossible, to those mad demons outside, this place is absolutely forbidden. If you don’t believe me, you can check later to see if there are traces of mad demons around here.”
Xiao Yuwei spoke calmly: “Mad demons absolutely can’t enter this place, they wouldn’t dare.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai furrowed his brows.
“Why do you know this?”
Xiao Yuwei was silent for a moment, then slowly said: “I won’t hide it from you, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty once discovered this, found it very peculiar, then dispatched strong people to catch a few mad demons and throw them in here.”
“Guess what happened afterwards.”
“What? All those mad demons died?” AnRan asked nervously.
“Yes, they did die, but their deaths were gruesome. The moment the mad demons entered this area, they turned into black blood and then sank into the ground, disappearing without a trace.”
Xiao Yuwei spoke calmly: “In previous experiments, it was found that mad demons are extremely hard to kill. Even if you behead a mad demon, they would continue to act like zombies. Even though their attack strength decreases a lot, no one knows why.”
“So you’re saying, once a person is injured or killed by a mad demon, they would be transformed into one of those mad demons? Since they can’t be killed, does that mean the number of mad demons in that area is exceptionally high?” Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrow and asked.
“Indeed, no one knows how many years the Mad Demon Valley has been around or how many people have died in the previous zone. Our dynasty only knows the number of mad demons there is tidal.’
Xiao Yuwei nodded, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise: “Why are you asking these things so clearly, do you have any connection to that thing?”
“Not really, I’m just curious.”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.
Although he said so, he was incredibly shocked in his heart. For as soon as he heard the news, he started asking his two mentors about the situation.
The results were horrifying.
The post-heaven spiritual treasures were so named not just because they were given spirit upon their creation, but also because within them there was a small amount of Daoism of the heaven and earth.
And the Daoism of heaven and earth, is undying.
No one could truly destroy a post-heaven spiritual treasure.
That was why Jiang Xiaobai wanted to ask clearly. Judging by the current situation, there must be signs of post-heaven spiritual treasures here.
The reason those mad demons were undying definitely had something to do with post-heaven spiritual treasures!
