Donglin Region, Jade Lake Holy Land.
This was a land with mountains and beautiful water. It had a radius of 100,000 miles. The trees were lush, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. It was a rare immortal land.
In the past, the Jade Lake Empress had founded the Jade Lake because of its beautiful landscape.
The spiritual energy here was many times stronger than the outside world. The spiritual energy here was even comparable to the Gu family's Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Formation.
The strange peaks were steep and majestic.
The huge ancient tree extended into the sky like a dragon.
The fragrance of all kinds of flowers and spiritual herbs was refreshing. There were also many spiritual beasts jumping around, full of vitality.
The center of the ancient land was where the Jade Pool was located.
The immortal palaces with dragon carvings floated in the sky with the help of the array. They were covered in clouds and filled with immortal qi.
The Jade Lake Holy Land had an ancient rule that it only accepted female disciples and rarely interacted with the outside world, so this place had always been very ethereal and quiet.
But today, this peace was broken.
The Jade Lake Holy Land, which hadn't opened for a long time, invited all the human forces in the Dong Lin Region to gather in the Jade Lake.
In the sky, there were ancient birds carrying ancient palaces or pulling chariots. They flew across the sky and entered the Jade Pool.
They were the leaders of the various human forces in the Donglin Region. They had all been invited by the Jade Lake Holy Land to gather here.
At this moment, in the central palace of the Jade Lake Holy Land, several big shots from various forces had arrived. They sat cross-legged and communicated with each other, waiting for the arrival of the Jade Lake Holy Lord.
"According to the ancient records, there was a supreme demon that rampaged through the Dong Lin Region and ate thousands of humans. Fortunately, the Jade Lake Empress descended and suppressed him under the Jade Lake.
He wondered why the Jade Lake Empress didn't kill the supreme demon directly to prevent future troubles.”
In the Imperial Court, an old man with white hair and a feathered robe spoke. His voice was filled with doubt.
The person who spoke was the Holy Master of Nine Heavens Holy Land.
The Nine Heavens Holy Land was one of the most powerful human forces in the Donglin Region. Its founder, the Nine Heavens Heavenly Venerate, was a famous existence in the history of the human race.
Hearing the Saint Lord of Jiuxiao's words, all the important figures in the Heavenly Imperial Court nodded slowly.
It should not be difficult for the Jade Lake Empress to kill this supreme demon with her extraordinary cultivation.
But in the end, for some reason, he let this supreme demon go and only chose to suppress it.
"There are some records of this in the history books of our Jade Mirage Sect.”
The archaic and daoist-robed Master of Jade Mirage Sect spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
"According to the records of the Jade Void Sect, that great demon had a high cultivation level. Although he did not become a demon emperor, he had already touched that realm.
At that time, the Jade Lake Empress was old, and her blood and qi were declining. She was saving everything she had, planning to make a final gamble on the road to immortality.
Therefore, in order to preserve her strength, the Jade Lake Empress did not kill the demon.”
"I see."
Sacred Master Jiu Xiao nodded slowly.
This made sense.
In the Vast Expanse Continent, the Extreme Dao was revered.
However, even a Supreme Ancient Emperor who had reached the Extreme Path Realm would still die if he could not make the final leap and break through to the legendary Celestial Realm.
Therefore, almost all Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Emperors would gather all their strength at the last moment of their lives and charge into the legendary path of immortality.
At that time, the Jade Lake Empress was already old and her vitality was declining. Every bit of combat strength was extremely precious.
The demon's cultivation was so high that it had already touched the threshold of Gokudo Path.
Even the Jade Lake Empress would have to spend a lot of effort to kill him.
In order to challenge the Immortal Road and preserve his strength, it was understandable that he only suppressed him.
"There might be another reason why the Jade Lake Empress didn't kill the demon.”
The Jade Mirage Sect Master said slowly,
"Back then, the ancient demon race still existed. On the Vast Expanse Continent, the demon race reigned supreme. Even if the Jade Lake Empress was present, she could only ensure that the human race would not be bullied.
The demon had a high status among the demons. If the Jade Lake Empress had killed it, the demons might not have dared to do anything because of the monarch's might.
However, the Jade Lake Empress's lifespan was running out by then, and she couldn't protect the human race for too long.
If we kill the demon, the demons might take revenge on us humans after the Jade Lake Empress dies.
The empress's heart softened. She couldn't bear to see this scene, so she took a compromise and suppressed the demon under the Jade Lake. This way, the demons wouldn't have anything to say.”
"Perhaps this is the real reason why the Jade Lake Empress didn't kill the demon.”
The holy archbishops from various factions couldn't help but sigh.
With their status, they naturally knew some ancient secrets that ordinary cultivators could not.
It was said that a long time ago, the demon race ran amok on the Vast Expanse Continent, and powerful demons emerged one after another.
The entire Vast Expanse Continent was practically the demon race's world.
For several generations, the human race had supreme emperors, which raised the status of the human race and prevented them from being bullied by the demons.
However, the ancient demon race had a strong foundation. It was said that there were still former demon emperors sleeping in the forbidden land.
Therefore, in the ancient times, the demons were still the most respected on the Vast Expanse Continent.
However, later on, for some unknown reason, more than half of the ancient demons on the Vast Expanse Continent disappeared overnight and never appeared again.
The demon race also slowly declined.
That was why the human race rose up and gradually occupied the dominant position in the Vast Expanse Continent.
But even now, on the Vast Expanse Continent, the Demon Clan's power was still huge and could not be underestimated.
From this, it could be seen how prosperous the demon race was in the ancient times!
