"Does the city lord know what we are?"
The ugly female demon king covered her face with clothes again and asked in surprise.
"In the northern part of Beiyin Mountain, there is a mass grave with 13,000 charred corpses. But the only one who turned into a corpse demon is Ugly."
"In fact, Ugly doesn't know what she is. She called herself Ugly because there was a tombstone on a grave with the words 'Tomb of Ugly Woman' written on it."
The words of the ugly female demon king confirmed Jiang Li’s guess.
Located at the junction of yin and yang, it is a shady mountain disliked by gods and demons, rarely visited by people and never seeing the sun.
Such a Jedi often becomes a garbage dump for lost things by some powerful people.
The ugly female clan that was massacred and exterminated by the Ten Suns in the Sky was undoubtedly a scandal that was enough to provoke a war between the two clans.
Being transported here and abandoned by the demons is naturally a normal thing.
In the Dharma-Ending Age, the place that is relatively least affected is probably the underworld.
The charred corpses of the entire ugly female clan were nourished by the Yin energy, and because they were baked dry and blackened like charcoal for ten days, they have been preserved until now.
And by chance, the corpse demon, the Ugly Female Demon King, was born.
"You're the only one? What a pity."
"You are a member of the human race, a citizen of the Nüchou Nation."
"This is the last city left by the Human Emperor. Stay here and do something for the human race."
Jiang Li gave a brief account of the other party's origins.
Things like ten suns appearing in the sky and ancient human races, made the people around him confused and look weird.
Most of them, including Qin Shuman and Pei Zhongjian, thought that Jiang Li was making up a story.
Can a few golden crows be like the sun shining on the earth?
When did the demon race take over the Heavenly Palace?
How can weak creatures like ordinary humans chase the stars and the moon?
Even in the Kyushu continent where one can fly and hide underground, such words are nothing but fantasy.
In today's world of cultivating immortals, if these words were spoken, one hundred and one out of a hundred people would not believe them.
Anyway, the sun in the sky now is definitely not the transformed Golden Crow.
Because that kind of creature simply cannot survive the Dharma Ending Age.
But the ugly female demon king, who was the person involved, believed it a little bit.
Because, among the billions of monsters and demons in the entire Beiyin Mountain, she might be the only one who does not like to eat human flesh.
Jiang Li didn't care whether they could believe it or not. After careful questioning, he found out that the only corpse demon in the ugly female clan actually brought him a little surprise.
The ugly woman is good at weaving. This human has mastered a weaving skill that is not inferior to the seamless heavenly clothes.
You know, the green clothes they are wearing are made of top-quality materials that can remain intact after being burned for ten days.
Although so much time has passed, and now it has turned into a corpse demon, its skills are certainly far from what they were back then, but this body still has a special weaving spirituality.
He conjured up a handful of the finest Nine Netherworld roots and gave them to the ugly female demon king, asking her to weave a new set of Chongshan Xiu robes.
After giving these guys a few brief motivational speeches as the city lord, he handed them over to Qin Shuman for arrangements.
Everyone left, and soon he was the only one left in the Human Emperor Palace.
"What on earth are these threads?"
Standing in the Human Emperor Palace, Jiang Li turned his head to look behind him with some confusion and anticipation.
There was nothing there. No matter if you observed with your naked eyes, touched with your hands, or explored with your soul, there was nothing there.
But he could vaguely feel that behind him, there were a large number of unknown threads extending from very far away and in different directions, connecting to his back.
He tried to step out of the Human Emperor Palace, but the feeling became more and more vague, and before he could react, it faded away and disappeared.
After repeated attempts, Jiang Li finally confirmed that these silk threads were closely related to the inheritance of the Human Emperor.
So he thought about it, and his figure disappeared in the Human Emperor Palace.
Then he appeared in a dreamy space with a sky full of stars.
Stepping into the inheritance core of the last Human Emperor, the threads behind Jiang Li immediately became clearer.
“It really works!”
Jiang Li was delighted, as he had already stepped onto the charred Zhaixing Tower.
Although this building looks dilapidated, it contains the legendary flame of the human race, Suiren Fire, and the essence and blood left behind by the last human emperor when he died.
It is an important starting point for Jiang Li to obtain the inheritance of the Human Emperor.
Stepping into the Zhaixing Tower now is very different from the first time I came here.
The suppression on the stairs no longer worked on him.
With the blessing of merits and virtues that are unparalleled in the current world of immortal cultivation, every time Jiang Li climbed a step, the surrounding Suiren fire would jump excitedly.
These flames were cheering for his arrival.
And the threads behind him became clearer and clearer in his senses.
It was not until he stepped onto the top floor of the Zhaixing Tower that Jiang Li could already see those extremely fine silk threads through the dual bonus of merit blessing and the seven-colored Taoist body.
After staring at it for a long time, he realized that those silk threads, which were hundreds of times thinner than a hair, were actually made up of at least thousands and at most millions of lines.
What are these and when did they appear?
After thinking about it, Jiang Li pulled out the Human Emperor's War Halberd that he had obtained from the coffin.
Sure enough, after holding the halberd, the threads behind him became much clearer, almost to the point where they could be seen with the naked eye.
The Human Emperor's halberd in his hand trembled slightly.
Strands of power are gathering from those threads.
The power provided by each silk thread is not much, but when added together, it is enough to make Jiang Li look sideways in amazement.
In just a breath, he accumulated enough strength to swing the Human Emperor Halberd.
That is a force that can injure an earthly immortal with one strike, and even drain ten gods of transformation might not be able to do so.
Jiang Li could feel that this time, even without any power from his own strength, the power of the halberd was more than three times stronger than its previous strongest state.
If this strike were to be chopped out, it would probably tear the space apart immediately.
He was eager to try, but he didn't dare to cause damage in the Star-Picking Space.
Holding the divine weapon in hand, the contemporary descendant of the Human Emperor immediately remembered the unusual changes that occurred when he used the Human Emperor's Halberd before.
The consumption was reduced unreasonably drastically, while the power increased exponentially.
Even in the world of immortal cultivation, such a huge amount of energy cannot appear out of thin air.
Now it seems that the threads connecting his back are the reason.
Jiang Li cast an identification spell that had reached level ten on one of the silk threads.
It actually worked! [Name: Human Thoughts]

. . .
Jiang Li identified several silk threads in succession. His identification skills had reached the maximum level, providing him with a lot of useful information.
First of all, the essence of these silk threads is the embodiment of certain rules of heaven and earth.
And since it is noted in the identification technique, these human thoughts are the first step for Jiang Li to embark on the path to becoming the Human Emperor.
In all likelihood, this is the early manifestation of the status of the Human Emperor.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
To be honest, having been the descendant of the Human Emperor for such a long time, and although he had called himself by this title before, Jiang Li actually always thought that he had only obtained a few treasures from the Human Emperor's lineage.
He had neither any martial arts techniques nor any other inheritance. Apart from the Three Emperors Secret Realm that had not yet been revealed to the world, the only thing he had more than others was four thousand strands of Human Emperor Qi and blood that could automatically refine the orifices.
This time, Jiang Li discovered for the first time that there was really something on him.
These human thoughts in his body should have existed for a long time.
It’s just that before he broke through to the God Transformation stage, he didn’t have the ability to observe it.
I studied the identification information carefully again.
Each tiny thread here is marked with its source, which is a certain gathering point for mortals.
The number of thoughts here should represent the population of the gathering point.
However, the states of these thoughts are divided into two types: "real" and "virtual".
In fact, you can tell the difference between the two types of thoughts just by looking at the eyes.
One is solid and stable, the other is illusory.
There are more dotted lines and fewer solid lines, and the ratio is probably as huge as three hundred to five hundred to one.
Jiang Li gripped the halberd tightly, carefully sensing the difference between the two.
It was discovered that, when the number of thoughts was similar and the race was the same, if each dotted line could provide him with one power, then the solid line could provide him with one hundred power.
The gap is so huge, what is the difference between these two kinds of thoughts? Jiang Li couldn't help but imagine.
If he could transform all the dotted lines into solid lines, wouldn't he be able to kill gods and Buddhas if he held the Human Emperor's Battle Halberd? He continued to identify, and among the countless lines, he also found a line with only one number of thoughts, the ugly female tribe of Fengdu City.
This thread of thought was what Jiang Li felt when the ugly female demon king left her name on the stone tablet just now.
Also, this thread is a solid thread which can provide more strength.
Then combine it with those place names, whether familiar or unfamiliar.
It can be roughly inferred that the human race represented by those solid thought threads should be the human race under his rule and protected by him.
For example, Dachong Mountain, Luanshi Ridge, the four-handed people in Fengdu City, the ice barbarians, the edge area of Shifang Domain, the storm sea controlled by Hualong Island, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Plain that was previously allocated to the jurisdiction of Chongshan League.
However, those dotted lines that were still slowly increasing came from the Eastern Region’s immortal cultivation world and many other mortal gathering places in other regions.
These human beings had nothing to do with him originally, but now they suddenly had a connection with Jiang Li.
He was not a fool and soon understood the key.
The reason behind this is most likely the Yun Mansion’s previous promise to build a temple and monument in the name of the Human Emperor.
In just a few months, the coverage area has reached the size of hundreds of large mountains.
If he were to do it himself, it would take at least ten years to accomplish it.
Although these human races are not under his rule, they can only provide dotted thoughts.
Moreover, the dotted line can only provide one percent of the power of the solid line.
But its advantage lies in the large number.
Just now, the power of the Emperor's Battle Halberd has been increased several times.
It’s the kind of power that doesn’t require any consumption from Jiang Li’s body.
Apart from the power of incense, this unexpected surprise is more valuable to Jiang Li, as it directly increases the upper limit of his strength.
"No, this is probably not a surprise."
Jiang Li recalled Yun Ji's reaction at that time.
Perhaps that adult saw through his true colors and did it on purpose.
"It really helped a lot."
After taking back the halberd, the descendant of the Human Emperor remembered the favor from the Yun Mansion.
What he didn't know was that Lady Yun Ji, who was sitting in the palace in the clouds, was also very satisfied at this time.
The aura of merit and virtue around her has increased by more than 30% compared to a few months ago.
His face was ruddy, and he was surrounded by purple energy. His cultivation strength had reached a new level.
Compared with Yun Ji's merit base, these three merits are enough for a thousand great good people to accumulate for ten lifetimes.
And with the help of Yun Mansion's special skills, these merits can be directly converted into strength.
This is why the Yun Mansion always likes to make friends with people who have great virtues.
Rewarding the good and punishing the evil on behalf of the heavens, one can intercept the flow of merit and use it for one's own benefit. That is a mysterious skill that is directly related to the rules of heaven and earth.
She helped the descendant of the Human Emperor so much and received his sincere gratitude. Although they were actually thousands of miles apart, she also gained huge benefits.
"How profound are the merits of this descendant of the Human Emperor? Over this period of time, they have not been reduced at all."
"Really, what a weird guy."
. . . .
"How's the investigation going? Have you found any clues?"
"No, we have already left this ghost town, and Wang Hao's brush has no reaction at all."
“Although this ghost town has some secrets, no strong people were found inside.”
Outside Fengdu City, a group of strangers who had been warned by the Beiyin Mountain spirit before gathered here for some unknown purpose.
"We got intelligence earlier that there is another layer of space beneath this ghost town. Have you checked it out?"
The leader among them asked.
"I checked. The barriers on the surface and underground are quite sophisticated, but they can't stop us."
"It's still empty down there, except for a dungeon full of ghosts. Wang Hao still didn't respond."
"However, we found that the chain is connected to the center of the city. There may be something hidden at the other end of the chain."
This group of people had actually sneaked into the Changle Underground Palace silently.
Fortunately, there are spirits guarding the house in the shade.
They were not allowed to see the Five Palaces of the Human Emperor, but just wandered around the ruins for a long time.
The only strange thing discovered was this strange chain that grew out from the center of the city and hung down into the void of the underworld.
The chain is so long that you can't see the end of it. And although the chain looks ordinary, it is actually made of supernatural materials and nothing can damage it.
No one would believe that there was nothing important hidden on the other side of the chain.
"The other side of this chain?"
"Wu Zi, Liu Tong, the two of you go and check it out!"
After the order was given, two young men dressed as scholars stepped out, transformed into two green lights and followed the iron chains, going deep into the endless void ahead.
The last body of the last Nine Kings! It must be hidden there!
Ah, thanks to Brother Aniu from Hengdian for the many rewards. I should have added more chapters... But I didn't write it... I'll make it up later (End of this chapter)
