Laura finally felt a little peace.
They weren't being forced to take sides outright. It seemed the Tian Qi demons also understood that times had changed, and if they wanted to make moves, they would have to do it in secret.
Laura's eyes rolled as she thought. The Tian Qi race and the current eight great demon clans had blood deeper than rivers. With the Tian Qi Demon God leaving such a huge contingency, he was surely planning something. Could the Di Sha demons gain benefit from it?
Fortune always came with danger.
Laura clenched her teeth and pulled out a talisman.
"This talisman can be used without limit. I only have this one, so don't lose it. There's also a mantra to use it. I'll tell you." She passed both the talisman and the mantra to Yun Jin.
Yun Jin took them. Then she suddenly lifted her gaze and a faint dark green light rolled in her eyes.
Laura felt as if she was staring into fog and became momentarily dazed.
"So besides this talisman, there's no other way into the volcanic space, right?" Yun Jin's voice had a strange persuasive tone.
Laura nodded without thinking. "Yes, this is the only way."
Yun Jin nodded with satisfaction. "Then Patriarch, I'll go take care of things. Awakening the Tian Qi demons will take time. During this period, please don't come near the volcano. You might attract attention."
She turned and left.
Laura answered, then slapped her own forehead. She wasn't sure what had just happened, but she felt like she had drifted for a second. Maybe she was just too excited.
Her eyes shone with hope.
Maybe this time.
Maybe this really would be the chance for the Di Sha demons to rise.
-
The volcano was easy to find.
Yun Jin held the talisman and concealed her presence as she rushed toward the volcanic area. She used the talisman once and appeared inside the volcanic space. She looked around and a satisfied expression spread over her face. She had circled so much only to find this place.
This space had sheltered a Zhenmo level Tian Qi strong for thousands of years. Its concealment and safety were self evident.
She planned to set up a teleportation array here.
The array itself could not be destroyed, but when cultivators from the Vast Azure World came, they would need a relatively hidden relay. This volcanic space was perfect.
The bottom of the volcano had been hollowed out completely.
The Tian Qi demon clearly enjoyed his life. Over thousands of years he not only reinforced the space every day, he also dug out more than a thousand square meters underground and even installed some entertainment facilities.
So his days were not as miserable as one might imagine.
Yun Jin suddenly started thinking.
The story she told about the Tian Qi Demon God leaving a contingency was something she made up.
But, did those ancient Demon Gods really leave no contingencies at all?
They all knew their races would face disaster once they ascended. Did they truly do nothing?
These present eight Demon Gods were careful to the last detail.
Then what about those ancients?
Were they all fools?
Or maybe, maybe those super races really were sleeping somewhere in the Polar Night Demon World.
This world was getting more chaotic by the day. But the more chaotic it became, the more room she had to act.
Yun Jin sighed and sat down cross legged.
"System, scan this barrier."
The system deducted Emotional Value and began scanning.
[This barrier consists of multiple layers. It can block senses, obscure destiny, and has powerful defense. Barrier level, below Demon God cannot detect it. Demon God level cultivators might find traces if they observe at close range.]
Yun Jin nodded.
Even Demon Gods had to get close to notice anything. That was more than enough.
For the next thousand years, all eight Demon Gods would focus on their acceleration plans and would have no time to wander around. This space should stay safe for quite a while.
"Simulate crafting entry talismans."
She took out the talisman she held and let the system simulate. With a real talisman as reference, the system cracked it quickly. One hundred million Emotional Value could produce a single copy.
Yun Jin winced. She would need more than just one or two.
Luckily, not many people would come at first, and she could still afford it. Once they had a fixed base, then they could recruit on a large scale.
In the beginning, she crafted twenty. Then she contacted Wan Dao.
Wan Dao's eyes flickered.
She had already confirmed a location in such a short time? His disciple really was efficient.
He didn't hesitate. He used the excuse of going on training and requested leave.
The Deep Abyss Demon God didn't refuse, but reminded him to return to the Demon Palace after ten years.
For safety, Wan Dao brought An Ying and Qing Yun and traveled a long detour. Only after they ensured no one followed did they slip into the Di Sha Island.
Yun Jin was already waiting outside. She gave each of them a talisman and explained how to use it carefully.
Then the three followed her into the volcanic space.
She had already chosen a spot where the barrier energy was strongest. She pulled out a scroll and took a deep breath.
"Our formation will be set here. From now on, this space will be our temporary base." She spoke while slowly opening the scroll.
In that instant.
Wan Dao felt his entire mind sucked into the scroll. Ordinary people would see nothing special. But he was a spatial body and deeply understood the Law of Space. When he saw those mysterious lines, his heart became intoxicated.
It felt like clearing fog to see the blue sky. That was the feeling this scroll gave him.
Before he could recover, Yun Jin already activated it.
Countless profound lines vanished into the scroll.
Then within a small area she had marked, a vast power emerged from the void.
That power was formidable.
That power was mysterious.
It carried a breath of something ancient and boundless.
Wan Dao felt as if he was drunk.
Such dense spatial aura.
Was there really someone in this world who could cultivate the Law of Space to this level?
He felt excitement rising. The master who created this scroll must be extremely close to controlling the Primordial Force of Space completely.
Then confusion followed. How could even such a being fail to take that final step? Was it truly impossible to fully control time and space?
While he wandered through these thoughts, the teleportation array finished.
Before, it had been noisy and bright.
Now it collapsed into silence and simplicity, looking more plain than any ordinary teleportation array.
Wan Dao felt a sudden insight.
So this is.
Simplicity in the Primordial Force.
"Let's go. Master, two Martial Uncles, will you return to the Wushuang Sect with me?" Yun Jin said with a smile.
The three felt their hearts jolt.
Wushuang Sect.
The Wushuang Sect a thousand years later.
They had never dreamed that they would have a day when they could return to the Vast Azure World alive.
Their faces stayed calm. But their hearts shook with excitement and nerves.
