Chapter 608: Chapter 266: The Truth Unknown to All About the Confucian Dao Grand Cultivators’ Burial Ground
Meanwhile, the entire Demon Realm was fully engaged in searching for the Forbidden Beast and the Demoness.
At this moment, Yunmo Xi and the other three were already riding the Forbidden Beast across the Endless Demon Realm. The deeper they ventured into this world, the more Ye Xiaofan and the others sensed something ominous.
"Such terrifying Demonic Qi, sister! These Demonic Qi are actually eroding people’s minds?" Standing atop the Forbidden Beast, Mu Xin’s beautiful face was filled with shock.
By this time, Ye Xiaofan and the other three had already traversed countless rivers and lands within the Demon Realm, encountering more and more Demonic Qi.
This world was not only shrouded by vast Demonic Qi; the trio was also surprised to discover that the Demonic Qi in the Demon Realm seemed unusual, as if they were alive, attempting to corrupt all living creatures into becoming demonic.
Even Ye Xiaofan was taken aback; the longer they stayed in the Demon Realm, the more terrifying and horrifying the erosion became.
"Could it be that such shocking Demonic Qi is enveloping the Demon Realm because a World-shaking Demon has emerged?" Mu Yan frantically channeled her power to resist the Demonic Qi trying to invade her body, her charming face turning extremely unpleasant.
Before her words finished, as if in response to Mu Xin and Mu Yan, Yunmo Xi calmly gazed at the world engulfed by the endless vaporous Demonic Qi, her beautiful eyes filled with indescribable bleakness and helplessness. With a self-deprecating smile, she said, "This isn’t Demonic Qi, but rather Demonic Qi Miasma that continually erodes the mind."
"Demonic Qi Miasma?" The Mu sisters were stunned upon hearing this, exchanging glances, yet understood nothing.
Ye Xiaofan, following the sound, slowly opened his eyes, a trace of astonishment flickering within as he observed the ubiquitous Demonic Qi Miasma, involuntarily looking at Yunmo Xi and asking, "What happened within the Demon Realm to cause such terrifying Demonic Qi Miasma?"
It was clear that compared to Mu Xin and Mu Yan, Ye Xiaofan seemed somewhat more sensitive to these terms.
In fact, regarding Demonic Qi Miasma, Ye Xiaofan had inadvertently come across it once in the Divine Sword Sect’s Scripture Pavilion. Compared to the Demonic Qi found on Demon Cultivators, Demonic Qi Miasma was a far more terrifying entity. On the Martial Soul Continent, anything even slightly associated with the word ’Dao’ was a subject of immense terror.
Merely hearing the term ’Demonic Qi Miasma’ and that daunting ’Dao’ character within it was enough to send a shiver down one’s spine.
Therefore, upon hearing about the Demonic Qi Miasma, Ye Xiaofan felt an instinctive shudder in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Yunmo Xi displayed a wry smile, seemingly caught in a state of pessimism and despair. She slowly looked at Ye Xiaofan and the others, not answering but rather counter-questioning, "Is it that frightening? You’ve only been in contact with it for a moment, and you’re already this uneasy?"
After she finished speaking, she said nothing more, instead guiding the Forbidden Beast to accelerate its advance, swiftly traversing the vast and unimaginable Demonic Realm’s oceanic expanse.
Ye Xiaofan and the others exchanged glances, each rising with different emotions but chose not to ask further questions.
However, the Demoness’s retort struck a chord within the trio’s hearts, causing them to inadvertently look around, observing the vast and spine-chilling Demonic Qi Miasma, and questioning whether such a harsh environment could sustain human life.
Why did the cultivators within the Demon Realm choose to root themselves in such a region? What hidden truths lay beneath the surface?
Though doubts arose, seeing Yunmo Xi fall silent, Ye Xiaofan and the others chose not to ask further and all sat cross-legged, not to cultivate, but to resist the invasion of the Demonic Qi Miasma.
Time moved slowly, and no one knew how much had passed.
Accompanied by a long cry from the Forbidden Beast, Ye Xiaofan and the others slowly opened their eyes, seeing that the Forbidden Beast was rapidly diving as if it had reached somewhere.
Looking into the distance, they saw that the Forbidden Beast was diving toward a remote village. Though the village was in a desolate place, it housed tens of thousands of families.
Referred to as a village because, despite thousands of households taking root in the wilderness, the scene was still as impoverished and backward as a typical village, with no sight of any city.
The Forbidden Beast did not pause, speeding all the way until it finally landed at the village center.
Even before the Forbidden Beast appeared in the boundless sky, countless cultivators within the Demon Realm had already seen the Holy Beast diving from the void’s peak below.
The Forbidden Beast first glided smoothly over the village, finally coming to a steady halt at the very center.
In an instant, tens of thousands of households seethed with motion, with countless figures appearing in sight. People craned their necks, merely gazing blankly at the Forbidden Beast’s landing site, without gathering out of curiosity.
As numerous Demon Realm residents studied the Forbidden Beast from afar, Ye Xiaofan and the others were also observing the human population in this world.
The people here gave off an extremely wooden impression, like a crowd of life forms that had lost all hope, muddled and extremely decadent.
If this scene had occurred in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range or within the region of the Righteous Orthodox Sects, a Holy Beast landing in such a small village would inevitably cause an instant uproar.
Yet, here, there was none; everyone seemed unconcerned about its arrival. At most, they only raised their heads for a glance, their eyes devoid of light.
Indeed, the overall impression Ye Xiaofan and the others had of the human population here was eyes void of light, dim and faded, making it difficult to imagine what desolation they had gone through, what kind of despairing emotions had worn away the will of numerous beings.
Though they were unsure why Yunmo Xi brought them to such a vast village, seeing her leap off the Forbidden Beast, Ye Xiaofan and the others hesitated briefly before also leaping down.
