Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing quickly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Sister, what's the situation?"

Luo Qinghan withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "More than twenty Demon Gods, each with over ten thousand years of Dao cultivation. If they attack with full force, this line of over sixty cultivators probably couldn't hold for even half an incense stick."

Hundred Li Hong raised his eyebrows: "Then why haven't they attacked yet?"

Xu Zhangqing glanced at Demon God Wan Tong and suddenly understood: "I get it. The reason they haven't gone for the kill is because they're wary of each other."

Whoever gets injured first is out.

Whoever is out first loses the qualification to compete for the Ancestral Spirit Source."

In short, these Demon Gods entered the Eternal Night Ruins for one reason.

That is to become the Progenitor!

Luo Qinghan nodded slightly: "Exactly."

These Demon Gods treat the cultivators as expendable; keeping the cultivators around lets them constantly assault the line, wearing down the other Demon Gods' condition, while they themselves sit back and reap the benefits."

Just now when we helped Chu Xinran, those three Demon Gods retreated cleanly and didn't linger at all, showing they don't want to waste energy in such small-scale fighting."

"Then we should go in even more."

Hundred Li Hong licked his lips, madness flickering in his eyes: "The more they're wary of each other, the greater our chance."

"Not yet."

Luo Qinghan raised her hand to stop him, saying seriously: "Let's figure out the intelligence first. Over sixty people are stationed here; they must have been standoff with this group of Demon Gods for a long time."

The information they hold is far more than what Ling Zhi knows."

First find their Team Leader, ask about the situation clearly, then decide."

Jin Buhuan and Mo Li both agreed quite strongly.

Given the current unclear situation, they indeed shouldn't start a war with the Demon Gods.

Even with Xu Zhangqing's Creation Green Lotus, these Demon Gods aren't pushovers.

Any Demon God capable—or daring—enough to enter the Eternal Night Ruins has at least over ten thousand years of Dao cultivation; that's beyond doubt.

Therefore, they surely have many methods and extraordinary combat power.

Afterward, everyone passed through the rest area behind the line.

Along the way, upon seeing the Beidou Xianfu insignia on them, the cultivators they met all showed joy.

"People from Beidou Xianfu have arrived?"

"That's Han Yue Si Ming, right!"

"And White Tiger Evil Star Hundred Li Hong!"

Several Loose Cultivators who had originally been meditating by the defensive array immediately stood up, whispering and discussing.

In this temporary camp merging cultivators from the Floating World Four Domains and Endless Star Domain, the name of Beidou Xianfu was clearly formidable.

Formidable enough to steady the hearts of a group besieged by Demon Gods for a long time in an instant.

Soon, Chu Xinran brought an old man with white hair and beard hurrying over to welcome them.

The old man wore a gray star-patterned Daoist Robe.

At the hem of the robe were several marks scorched by Demonic Fire.

His aura was somewhat chaotic, but his eyes were bright and spirited.

He walked before Luo Qinghan, performed a proper salute, and said in a loud voice: "Elder Chu Hong of Qianji Valley, Three Enclosures Star Domain, welcomes Luo Disciple, Xu Disciple, Bai Disciple, and various Dao Friends."

Just now I heard Chu Disciple say that several of you saved her; I, Chu, thank you first."

Luo Qinghan nodded slightly: "Elder Chu, no need for many courtesies. I've roughly looked over the situation here; the Demon Gods' strength far surpasses yours. Being able to hold until now without being routed, your line layout does have some skill."

But guarding isn't a long-term plan. What do you plan to do next?"

Surely you don't intend to just drag it out with over twenty Demon Gods?"

"Sigh~"

Chu Hong sighed upon hearing this: "Don't hide it from Han Yue Si Ming, dragging it out is certainly not a solution, but we have no choice."

When I brought several disciples of Qianji Valley into the Eternal Night Ruins, we originally just planned to try our luck in the edge area, pick some spiritual materials not found in the outside world, and leave."

But the space folds in the Eternal Night Ruins suddenly surged violently, dragging us and several other teams into this area."

By the time we reacted, the Demon Gods had already blockaded all paths leading to the Ten Thousand Dao Spirit Tree."

We tried to break through the blockade, but each time we were driven back by the Demon Gods."

Strangely, they neither kill us nor intend to let us leave."

Xu Zhangqing and the others naturally understood what that meant.

Just now, they had already seen through these Demon Gods' thoughts.

Xu Zhangqing asked curiously: "How long have you been guarding here?"

Chu Hong shook his head: "Unclear. Time in the Eternal Night Ruins cannot be measured."

However, the Demon Gods' attacks occur roughly once every incense stick."

Moreover, the Demon Gods attacking each time are different."

They don't coordinate with each other; we've observed this very carefully."

Hundred Li Hong thought to himself: "Exactly the same as Second Senior Sister's judgment."

Chu Hong continued: "Also, regarding that Ten Thousand Dao Spirit Tree and the fissure beneath it, we have gained some more certain understanding."

The fruits on the Myriad Dao Spirit Tree indeed each contain a complete Dharma Array Rune.

Pity, these fruits have already been targeted by this group of Demon Gods.

As for the crack beneath the tree...

He paused, his voice lowering a few degrees: "That crack isn't open all the time; it opens and closes on its own at intervals.

When it opens, a dark blue light surges out from inside, lasting for about twenty breaths, then closes again.

From the start until now, the crack has opened and closed three times.

Each time it opens, the space at the crack's edge twists violently, and the contour of that palace deep within the crack becomes increasingly clear.

This old man has a feeling the crack is expanding; the palace will inevitably reveal itself sooner or later.

When that time comes, we'll be able to figure out whether it really is the Yong Ji Gu Dian!"

Xu Zhangqing said regretfully: "If Fifth Senior Brother or Daoist Lu were here, that would be good."

In the aspect of space, these two are experts among experts.

One specializes in Dharma Arrays.

One specializes in space.

If the two of them were here, they would certainly be able to figure out the current situation.

Of course, although I myself grasp the Time and Space Laws, they are not yet mature.

Once a situation occurs, self-preservation is more than sufficient.

Pity is, I cannot take good care of everyone beside me.

Hundred Li Hong asked thoughtfully: "Meaning, before we enter the Yong Ji Gu Dian, it will appear on its own, right?"

Chu Hong nodded: "There is this possibility."

Jin Buhuan suddenly spoke up, speculating: "Then is it possible that the reason this group of Demon Gods hasn't entered the crack is not because of the Demon God Wan Tong's obstruction, but that they are also waiting?"

Chu Hong's face darkened: "If that's the case, cultivators and Demon Gods must have a battle!"

And it will be a fight to the death.

Unless one side gives up the Myriad Dao Spirit Tree and the Yong Ji Gu Dian before them, but it's very obvious the Demon Gods' side absolutely won't give up.

After all, inside the Yong Ji Gu Dian lies the Ancestral Spirit Source for them to become Progenitors!
