Chapter 827: Chapter 843: Demon God Territory! The Secrets of the Ancients! (Second Update)
Hearing Hua Youyue’s words, everyone present shivered in unison, all their gazes fell on Hua Youyue.
Yang Zhen asked with a strange look on his face, “What did you remember?”
Hua Youyue was taken aback, shook her head and said, “Just a name. This kind of ancient bronze tree is called the Demon God Tree. As for its origins, it’s somewhat vague.”
Everyone was a bit disappointed and turned their gazes to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and then said, “Then have you ever heard of the Demon Emperor Guard?”
“Demon Emperor Guard?”
...
Three voices rose in unison, all filled with shock, as they looked at Yang Zhen with weird expressions on their faces. Again, in chorus, they asked, “Where did you hear about that?”
After Hua Youyue, the cheap cat, and the Jade Pool Saint Lord had finished speaking, they exchanged glances, clearly, all three had heard the name Demon Emperor Guard before.
If they’ve heard of it, that makes things easier, and with three people no less. Even if piecing it together, they could piece together some useful information.
Yang Zhen shared with them some of the things he had discovered upon entering the illusion, and under their astonished expressions, the Jade Pool Saint Lord was the first to speak:
“The Western Region has always had a legend that, long ago, in an unknown era, it was the realm of the Demon God. The vast territory of the entire Western Region was the Demon God’s domain. The Demon God is not a deity but an existence in legend that was more terrifying than the great emperors.
In the Western Region Demon God Territory, beneath the Demon God, there were three great emperors whose cultivation reached the heavens. With the mere motion of their hands and feet, they could move mountains and fill seas. It was a time of magnificent tumult. Only later, for some reason, the three great emperors disappeared one after another. The Demon God also vanished from the world as if evaporated, and the great Demon God Territory gradually fell into ruin. Many legacies disappeared without a trace, and even some Demon God Palaces never again appeared.”
“Another sudden disappearance?” Yang Zhen was taken aback.
The cataclysm had seen both emperors and saints disappear at the same time, and even some legacies beyond the Saint Realm vanished without a trace. No one knew what had happened; even fewer knew where those great emperors and saints had gone, whether they were alive or dead.
People only carried down a notion known as the cataclysm, but as for what actually happened, not a word was mentioned, and even talking about it would change one’s color.
Even an ancient legacy like the Jade Pool Saint Lord knew only that, one day, their sect elders asked them to seal themselves off, to erase their legacies and cultivation from the world, to avoid a catastrophic disaster.
What, in fact, was the cataclysm, and what were the origins of that black heavenly punishment? No one knew.
Now, from what Yang Zhen knew, the cataclysm clearly was not a single disaster but a long-lasting process.
This process might have spanned tens of thousands of years, or even longer.
Yet, throughout such a process, not a single piece of useful information was passed down. Even if it were unspeakable, it could not have been erased so thoroughly.
Under the vast heaven, no one could accomplish that—only the heavens above could do so!
Could it be that all of this was manipulated by the heavens?
Yang Zhen looked up at the chaotic sky, which was dim and lackluster, emitting a sense of dead silence.
Furthermore, if the Jade Pool Saint Lord was not mistaken, this place should be part of the Demon God Territory, which they had entered by a serendipitous convergence.
This place, too, was now a desolate landscape. If not for the mysterious patterns on the ancient bronze tree, and the people who had just been hung upon it, providing a glimmer of vitality, this place would likely be lifeless.
At this time, Hua Youyue slowly began to speak, adding, “The Demon Emperor Guards are indestructible and were the Demon God’s most powerful force. No one could match them at that time. It’s just unknown why they all disappeared suddenly. Are you sure what you saw were the Demon Emperor Guards?”
Yang Zhen nodded and said, “I saw it very clearly. Those Demon Emperor Guards were dressed in golden sacred treasures, wielding golden sacred weapons. The aura exuded from their bodies was very strong, and their strength was even above that of the Yao Saint Lord.”
The Jade Pool Saint Lord let out a wry smile and said, “What virtue and ability does Yao have, to compare with the Demon Emperor Guard? The sacred treasures on their bodies are not something we can possess, it is said that they are all personally forged by the various Demon Emperors under the Demon God, their power is tremendously strong.”
Yang Zhen kicked a debased cat that had been staring blankly at the ancient bronze tree and said, “What are you spacing out for, did you remember anything?”
The debased cat stumbled from Yang Zhen’s kick, unusually not flying into a rage, but instead excitedly said, “There’s good stuff in here.”
Damn it!
Yang Zhen glared at the debased cat, everyone knew there had to be good stuff in there, even if there wasn’t, there must be some clue, do you even need to say it?
The debased cat looked at Yang Zhen leisurely and said, “Kid, don’t be unconvinced. Under the heavens, perhaps no one knows the way into the Ancient Bronze Hall better than this lord does.”
Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, “You’ve been inside?”
With his neck stuck out and an even more insufferable attitude than a saucy chicken, the debased cat said to Yang Zhen, “This lord remembers now, I indeed went in back then but was blasted out by a mysterious force after only the first level.”
“What’s inside?”
The Jade Pool Saint Lord quickly asked.
Several hundred people around them all looked at the debased cat with bright eyes, each with an eager expression on their face.
Exploration of this nature, not to mention the danger, was something that people were unwilling to undertake, but if someone in the crowd had been inside before, that changed everything.
Everyone’s hearts grew hot, as long as the debased cat wasn’t lying and really had been inside, then it must know how to avoid danger and seek fortune. With this, everyone’s lives had some assurance of safety.
And the debased cat also said, under the heavens, no one knew how to enter the Ancient Bronze Hall better than it did, meaning the debased cat might really have a way to enter the so-called pinnacle of the Ancient Bronze.”
While everyone was waiting for the debased cat to speak, the cat suddenly looked at Yang Zhen with a bizarre expression and asked, “Have you seen this kind of ancient bronze tree anywhere else?”
Yang Zhen had indeed seen another ancient bronze tree and shared the details of that time, causing the debased cat to furrow its brow.
“What’s wrong, is there a problem?”
Yang Zhen looked at the debased cat curiously, the last time he saw this thing, it almost spanned the entire cultivation world. Could it be that during that era, the influence of the eyesight had spread throughout the entire cultivation world?

The debased cat suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “This ancient bronze tree wasn’t originally owned by the Demon God Territory. No one knows how these ancient bronze trees appeared, let alone when they were constructed. It seems that back then, the Demon God Territory was indeed the one most familiar with the ancient bronze trees.”
Yang Zhen’s heart stirred, and he asked in amazement, “Are you saying the ancient bronze tree was utilized by the Demon God Territory?”
The debased cat sneered and said, “Who used whom, it’s hard to say. This ancient bronze tree definitely has a significant background, and as for the cause and effect of the events, one would probably only find out by entering the Ancient Bronze Hall.”
Yang Zhen became interested and said, “What are we waiting for then? Let’s go in now!”
With that, Yang Zhen took the lead toward the ancient bronze tree.
The ancient bronze tree indeed had an extremely illusory effect, but if one was prepared, one could still maintain mental clarity.
Yang Zhen and his group walked for a long time before bypassing the ancient bronze tree and were met by a colossal bronze mountain that made everyone gasp.
“There really is an Ancient Bronze Hall!”
Yang Zhen’s eyes brightened, then suddenly he furrowed his brow and stared at the Ancient Bronze Hall, “There’s something strange!”
