Chapter 2035: Came One Step Too Late!

Taishang Laojun saw the pool of clear water was utterly empty, and he flew into a rage.

Yet he knew well this must be Luo Fu's doing—elsewhere in the Primordial Chaos, even he could not have stirred this pool, so it could only be Luo Fu.

"How could that three-eyed eagle have fallen so easily?" Taishang Laojun wondered.

What he never imagined was that Luo Fu had used the Wordless Heavenly Book.

Only the Wordless Heavenly Book could have swayed the three-eyed eagle; Taishang Laojun knew nothing of this, and could only sigh at the capriciousness of fate—he had arrived one step too late.

"I wonder where the Demon Clan has gone?"

Where exactly the Demon Clan had gone remained unknown to them.

Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun both knew that even if they reached where Chuyong had gone, possessing the Shanhe Sheji Map and the Fuxi Qin in their hands might still be useless.

Moreover, Fuxi had not revealed his own creation—the Fuxi Bagua—leaving something in reserve.

Beyond the Fuxi Bagua, there were more fragmented scrolls.

These were remnants from the Ancient Demon God War; Nüwa had collected two such fragments, more important than the Shanhe Sheji Map.

Di Jun said: "It's not that they're hoarding them—they may simply not know yet."

"Forget it. With these four magic treasures, we can evade most things on Penglai Immortal Island—what more the demon beasts and monstrous beasts driven mad?"

In Donghuang Taiyi's view, most of these demon beasts and monstrous beasts were relics left over from the Ancient War.

They had been corrupted by the Ancient Demon God War, their minds lost but never purified, causing massive chaos on Penglai Immortal Island.

To pass through this area safely, they must take another route.

"That could work!"

"But haven't you encountered this before? If you haven't encountered it now..."

Sister Houtu said: "Even if we obtain the Qiankun Ding, we may still not be guided to the location of the Ten Sacred Roots?"

Sister Houtu spoke truly—Jumang had used his Eastern Wood ability to scan nearby locations, but it seemed all such methods had lost their effect within Penglai Immortal Island.

Eastern Wood could point to different directions.

This trick had never failed in the Primordial Chaos, yet unexpectedly, it proved utterly useless on Penglai Immortal Island.

Luo Fu also looked at Jumang's Eastern Wood—it was truly extraordinary, the supreme among woods.

No wonder Eastern Wood could guide their direction.

"I told you: on Penglai Immortal Island, do not judge anything by ordinary logic—you must forge new paths, or you will be trapped within and never escape."

Despite Luo Fu's warning, Zhu Jiuyin and Di Jiang still fell into their own mental traps.

There was no choice—if not for this, they had no idea which way to go, or which direction they had not yet explored.

Taishang Laojun had arrived, and even the two Great Demon Emperors of the Demon Clan had come.

Donghuang Taiyi mostly followed Di Jun's orders, so whatever Di Jun commanded, he obeyed without hesitation.

The Demon Clan had come this time solely to seize the Ten Sacred Roots—and even the treasures of Penglai Immortal Island.

Any valuable item taken from Penglai Immortal Island surpassed any object or so-called immortal artifact forged by them in the Primordial Chaos.
