Chapter 1686: with translation of chapter title

The disappearance of the demon race meant the disappearance of food material, and under Xu Jie's reminder, Zhao Zhengping and the others also quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

The food material is all gone; what are we supposed to do from now on?

The only good news is that Dao Yi Shengdi still keeps a batch of demon race food material in captivity.

However, this amount of demon race food material would be consumed quickly by Dao Yi Shengdi, so we absolutely cannot just sit and consume it all.

At dinner that day, after the disciples had eaten, they gathered together, each looking at the few inner disciples of Yuzhu Feng, and they chattered.

"The demon race vanished overnight; from now on, obtaining demon race food material will be troublesome."

"Yeah, you Yuzhu Feng must take good care of these demon race food materials; you cannot let anything go wrong."

"Not only that, we also need to find a way for these demon race food materials to breed themselves, so we can have a steady supply."

"What Junior Brother Xu said is correct; simply consuming what we have is never a long-term plan."

The raising of this food material has always been the responsibility of Yuzhu Feng, after all, it is their forte.

After the demon race disappeared, everyone naturally became most concerned about the food material issue, so each one reminded Yuzhu Feng to find a solution and not let anything go wrong.

Not only were the disciples worried, but Qi Xiong also specially sought out the Peak Master of Yuzhu Feng to give a reminder.

"Regarding the demon race food material, you Yuzhu Feng should be more concerned; now the demon race is extinct and the food material is in short supply."

"Senior Brother, rest assured, Yuzhu Feng is already researching this matter."

The main method is to let these demon race food materials breed themselves; hearing this, Qi Xiong nodded.

The disappearance of the demon race spread quickly throughout the myriad worlds, and many worlds are paying attention to this.

And the culprits behind the demon race's downfall are naturally the God Clan and the Heaven Clan, as well as the Human Emperor's Palace.

The old ancestor of the Human Emperor's Palace directly surrendered to the God Clan, and now stands on the same side as the God Clan.

At this moment, within the Shenjie, the two God Clan ancestors, the Heaven Clan old ancestor, and the Human Emperor's Palace old ancestor—four people—came to a secret underground palace.

In the center of the palace, the demon race old ancestor knelt on the ground, his whole body tightly bound by many iron chains.

These iron chains are specially refined magical treasures, covered with numerous dense talisman seals.

Even though he is an ancestor-level existence, after his cultivation was jointly sealed by the God Clan old ancestor and others, the demon race old ancestor could not break free from these iron chains at all.

The demon race old ancestor, who had originally lowered his head, upon hearing footsteps, raised his head to look at the approaching Shèngzhǔ old ancestor and his entourage.

His face showed no expression, and his hoarse voice spoke.

"If you're going to act, then act; don't come with these meaningless gestures."

By now, the demon race old ancestor no longer fears death; what he did not expect was that he would ultimately fall in this manner.

Having led the demon race and fought the God Clan for a lifetime, he only finally realized that he had all along been played by them in the palm of their hand.

Looking back now, it is indeed laughable; the opponent whom he considered his arch-enemy, in their eyes, perhaps never even regarded the demon race as important.

The two ancestors had the full ability to directly annihilate the demon race, but the God Clan has always remained hidden and inactive, always harboring a greater scheme.

Hearing the demon race old ancestor's words, the God Clan old ancestor smiled faintly and said.

"Don't rush; when the time comes, I will personally send you on your way."

"Heh, I am actually quite curious—what exactly has your God Clan been plotting all these years of forbearance?"

Hearing this, the demon race old ancestor snorted and asked.

This is also its only doubt now; after so many years, what exactly the God Clan has been plotting truly makes one curious.

Facing the demon race old ancestor's inquiry, perhaps thinking he was already a dying man and telling him would be no harm, the God Clan old ancestor did not refuse, but spoke slowly and calmly.

"Have you heard of the legend of the Immortal Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the demon race old ancestor's eyes finally showed a change, a flash of an unusual color.

He had naturally heard the rumors of the Immortal Realm legend.

It is said that above the myriad worlds there is still an Immortal Realm, whose inhabitants are already existences that have transcended cultivators.

Even existences above the ancestor level are present there; moreover, the Immortal Realm contains countless powerful beings, with abundant spiritual energy, and most importantly, it is rumored to hold a method of eternal immortality.

That is what is most alluring.

You must know that in the myriad worlds, even an ancestor-level existence cannot achieve true immortality.

The lifespan of an ancestor-level existence is indeed long, even so long as to seem like it will never die.

But even an ancestor-level existence will eventually exhaust its lifespan and will surely die.

And cultivators spend their lives cultivating, pursuing ultimately nothing other than eternal youth?

Unfortunately, throughout the myriad worlds across so many ages, no one has ever succeeded.

And the Immortal Realm is said to be the only place in legend where one can prove the Dao and achieve eternal life.

One does not know where this rumor originated or when it began, and it is illusory and vague, with no one able to verify its truth or falsehood.

Yet this does not prevent some people from seeking the Immortal Realm, whose existence is unknown.

This is the world acclaimed as the exalted existence among the myriad worlds.

Who would have thought that the God Clan, after years of forbearance, has actually been plotting about the Immortal Realm.

Hearing the God Clan old ancestor's words, the demon race old ancestor was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Haha, hahaha................. "

His laughter was filled with madness and mockery.

"I never expected, I never expected that your God Clan, after years of forbearance, would be doing this for such a foolish matter."

"The Immortal Realm legend, such a trick to deceive ghosts, and your God Clan actually believed it."

"For so many years, since we were young, we have heard of the Immortal Realm legend, but now, who has actually seen the Immortal Realm exist?"

"They say the Immortal Realm holds a method of eternal life and a way to break through the ancestor level, but from ancient times to now, who has succeeded?"

"Such an illusory and vague rumor, and your God Clan still believes it to be true—how laughable, truly laughable."

The demon race old ancestor openly expressed his contempt without concealment.

It never expected that the God Clan, having endured and plotted for many years, was actually doing it for the legend of the Immortal Realm.

Throughout the underground palace, only the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's loud laughter could be heard, and facing his mockery, the God Clan Old Ancestor seemed not to care at all.

With a faint smile, he watched the Demon Clan Old Ancestor burst into loud laughter, waiting until the laughter subsided before he spoke lightly.

"Ethereal and illusory? Perhaps in your view it is so."

"However, as you said, from ancient times to the present no one has been able to prove the existence of the Immortal Realm; conversely, who can prove that it does not exist?"

The God Clan Old Ancestor wore a calm expression, as if merely stating a simple fact.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Clan Old Ancestor's smile faded, his eyes fixed tightly on the God Clan Old Ancestor; after a long silence, he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Have you God Clan truly found the Immortal Realm?"
