No one talked much along the way. Although Yan Baibai had already recognized her senior sister, when in public, everyone tacitly maintained their original way of getting along.
Because of her high level of cultivation, Yan Baibai took the initiative to stay at the back of the team. During this period, she carefully observed the situations of Jueqing Fozi and Yin Changpi many times, but apart from being silent for a while, the two did not make any strange moves.
Everyone walked very quickly, and after an hour, they finally reached the end of the road on the left.
Looking at the tranquil lake in front of them, even though the scenery here was breathtakingly beautiful, everyone's hearts still sank.
"How could this happen? Where are the people?" A monk couldn't help but shout out, and then there was silence again.
In everyone's heart, this is the last hope, the hope of finding the human monks living near the royal city, and also the last chance to find the truth.
"Everyone, calm down first." Jiang Yiming's steady voice came. Although he was more anxious than anyone else, as the leader of Tianji Pavilion this time, he must set an example to stabilize the situation.
"Fellow Daoist Xiong, do you have anything to say?" When Jiang Yiming saw the lake, he was stunned at first, but soon his eyes turned to Xiong Qi who was leading the way. In addition to shock, there was an indelible doubt on Xiong Qi's face.
Everyone looked at Xiong Qi, their eyes full of hope, hoping that he could tell them some good news.
"If I remember correctly, there's no lake this big on the Wanjie Mountain side." Xiong Qi looked around at the cultivators around him and said calmly, "There are many lakes this big in the demon world, but the most important one is the Tianchi of my demon clan."
"Fellow Daoist Xiong, where is this Tianchi Lake? How did the lake in front of us appear here?" A cultivator asked.
"Tianchi is a sacred place for the demon race. Aside from being open once every five hundred years, the demon race is only allowed to visit Tianchi when the Demon King ascends the throne." Jiang Yiming, who was speaking, saw everyone looking at him and immediately explained, "My aunt told me this. She went there with my uncle a few years ago when the new Demon King ascended the throne. She was lucky enough to be baptized by the holy water of Tianchi when the Demon King ascended the throne. Not long after returning, she became pregnant. She was so happy that she wrote a letter home to let us know."
This was later explained to the demon clan. His aunt hadn't intentionally revealed the demon clan's secrets; she was simply happy to let her family know about her pregnancy. Across the continent, regardless of cultivation or race, the higher the level, the harder it was to have offspring. For inter-racial unions, the expectation was that there would be no offspring. Therefore, everyone was understanding of Jiang Yiming's aunt's situation.
"In that case, is the Tianchi in the demon world like the ancient spiritual pool guarded by the Tianshan Sect in our world of immortal cultivation?" asked a cultivator.
"In that case, the ghost world is the Ghost Crying River?" a cultivator added.
"If we speculate this way, does the Demon Realm also have such a river or pool that is very important to the Demon Realm?" Zhu Qingwu said this after he thought about the Demon Realm.
No one responded to her words. After all, the world of immortal cultivation and the world of demons had not communicated with each other for five hundred years. In addition, the cultivators here were not very old and did not know much about the world of demons. But everyone felt that Zhu Qingwu's idea was correct.
"Fellow Daoist Xiong, as you said, there's no lake near this Wanjie Mountain, but what about this lake up ahead?" Yin Changpi stepped forward, pointed at the sun-drenched lake in the distance, and asked, "Is this your Tianchi?"
"This... I have never been to Tianchi." Xiong Qi felt a little ashamed.
"We can't see anything from here. Let's take a closer look." The ruthless Buddhist suddenly stepped forward and offered his opinion.
Yan Baibai watched as Jueqing Buddhist, who had been silent all the way, suddenly became active. She didn't know what he was planning. She originally wanted to do something to stop him, but Jueqing Buddhist had been famous in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time. When everyone heard what he said, it was as if they had found their backbone and began to agree with him.
Before the disciples of each sect entered the demon world, although the elders of each family said that they would cooperate with the people of Tianji Pavilion to find the truth, in everyone's mind, Jiang Yiming was just a newcomer who had emerged in recent years, Xiong Qi and Song Xunbai were from the demon clan, and no one had even seen the saint of the Shenxiu clan. Only the Jueqing Buddhist was relatively well-known to everyone.
After seeing the state of the demon world, many people waited for Jueqing Buddhist to lead them. Unfortunately, Jueqing Buddhist had been acting strangely since entering the demon world, even remaining silent during the discussion last night. Even if they hoped deeply, they couldn't force someone to speak up if they didn't.
But just now, the ruthless Buddhist finally stood up and spoke. Naturally, the monks had to respond actively, lest the ruthless Buddhist remain silent again.
So, before Yan Baibai could figure out the purpose of Jueqing Buddhist's actions, everyone had already rushed towards the distant lake in a mighty manner.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister." Lu Wuxiu came to Yan Baibai's side, took her hand and squeezed it through Yan Baibai's wide sleeves, and said, "Jueqing Buddhist has gone ahead on his own, there shouldn't be any danger ahead."
Yan Baibai nodded. Since entering the demon world, Jueqing Buddhist seemed to have done nothing. As long as he did nothing, she would not know what his purpose was. Now that he moved, it was her chance to seize his flaw.
Thinking of this, Yan Baibai felt relieved. She still walked behind the team, but her mental awareness was always kept in the most tense state, so that she could detect any unusual movements around her in time.
