It took Jin Li a full hundred days to reintegrate the heart and the demon pill.
He slowly recovered to his peak strength, and then the first thing he did was not to return to the nearby Dragon Island, but to leave the demon realm and go to the devil's realm to look for the person who left without a word.
But when Jin Li arrived at the Demon Realm, he found that Mo Qianqiu was in seclusion!
The practice of seclusion was often a helpless act for powerful beings nearing the end of their lives, such as Jin Li's elders. As their time was drawing to a close, they all entered into seclusion, leaving only a trace of unconscious spiritual consciousness. Only a catastrophic event like the extinction of the demon race would occur, otherwise they would never awaken.
Mo Qianqiu has now reached the late stage of Mahayana and has achieved great perfection. Although he has not made any further progress for hundreds of years, he still has a lifespan of a thousand years and is far from the point where he needs to go into seclusion.
This time, Jin Li finally felt a little confused.
There was no way he could contact Mo Qianqiu again. The other party had completely blocked any possibility of meeting him. Unless he succeeded in reaching the God Transformation Stage, he would not come out. If he failed to reach the God Transformation Stage... the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
Jin Li waited for ten years around the Demonic Palace. Under the management of Qi Luo and others, the palace operated steadily. In the eleventh year, Jin Li finally left. This departure was not because he could no longer wait, but because the human and demon races had begun a war.
The two tribes hadn't engaged in such a major battle in hundreds of years. The cause was the discovery of an immortal relic in the Fierce Wind Wasteland, and both tribes were eager to seize the relic. The two tribes had been at odds with each other for a long time, and now it was on the verge of a major conflict.
Those who had bullied Jin Li, whether it was Hao Ming or the Heavenly Rank Demon Lord, all died silently at the beginning of this war. They seemed to have been killed by powerful humans, which aroused no suspicion. However, some of their subordinates also died on the battlefield, which finally made some people keenly aware of something unusual.
On the battlefield, the demon lord in blue was like a god, suppressing many Mahayana cultivators with irresistible force. Even a powerful cultivator in the God Transformation Stage died at his hands.
The Demonic Palace did not participate in this war.
Mo Qianqiu's seclusion meant the Demon Dao Palace lacked the confidence to participate in such a war, and Qin Guihe lamented this constantly. Whenever he heard of a powerful human cultivator engaging in a world-shattering battle with a demon clan venerable, he excitedly wanted to join the fight, but was repeatedly stopped by Qi Luo.
Qin Guihe thrust his broadsword into the ground, shattering countless tiles. The entire palace shook slightly. He angrily declared, "Even if the Demonic Dao Palace doesn't want a piece of the action, I want to fight myself. Isn't that okay? I haven't killed a demon lord in hundreds of years. My hands are itching!"
Qi Luo gave him a blank look and ignored him. Instead, he turned to look at Qin Siyi who was standing beside him and said, "This is the Palace Master's favorite Tianxuan Jade floor tile. You must redecorate it before the Palace Master comes out of seclusion, otherwise the Palace Master will definitely be angry."
Qin Siyi nodded in agreement.
Qin Guihe: "..."
Qin Guihe shouted, "Can't I go alone?"
Qi Luo sighed, "As the Left Protector of the Demonic Palace, if you go, you will represent the Demonic Palace. If we say that the Demonic Palace has no intention of getting involved in this matter, the righteous cultivators will not believe it, and the demon clan will not believe it either. So Qin Guihe, you are not allowed to go!"
Qin Guihe complained a few more times, but ultimately gave up his stubbornness. A moment later, a demon cultivator at the Out-of-Body Stage flew in swiftly. Qin Guihe's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he hurried forward, asking, "What's up? What interesting things have happened this year?"
Every year, Qin Guihe would ask some independent cultivators and demon cultivators to report to him on the situation on the battlefield between his two clans.
The demon cultivator immediately said, "Within a year, there was one major battle and three smaller ones. Our human race didn't suffer much damage. Three Tribulation-crossing stage masters perished, but all cultivators above the Mahayana stage survived. However, one demon did die."
Qin Guihe frowned and said, "Only one? My human race has lost three Tribulation Crossing Stage masters." He turned and looked at Qi Luo, "We only killed one, but those monsters killed three of us. Do you think I can stand watching this? Can I tolerate it?"
Qi Luo ignored him and looked directly at the demon cultivator: "One of the demons fell? Who was it?"
The demon cultivator wiped the sweat from his head: "...It's Demon Lord Jinli."
The hall suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, there was still no sound.
The sweat on the forehead of the demon cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage increased. Qi Luo and Qin Siyi both had sullen expressions, their brows furrowed in thought. Qin Guihe's eyes widened dramatically. His lips moved as he stared intently at the demon cultivator. Suddenly, he shouted, "You... tell me again, who died?"
"The Jinli Demon Lord fell three months ago." After a pause, the demon cultivator added, "It was the last divine beast of the demon race, the last dragon in the world, the Jinli Demon Lord."
Qin Guihe said angrily, "Impossible! Do you know how difficult he is to kill? He's a dragon. Back then, the old man from Mount Taihua and our Palace Master teamed up but couldn't kill him. Who could have killed him? I know that old man also went to the battlefield this time, but he couldn't have killed that dragon. It's impossible!"
The demon cultivator confirmed, "The demon core of Demon Lord Jinli has been shattered, and it seems his body was transported back to the demon realm. He was a dragon, so every part of his body is a treasure. After hearing of his death, many demon lords began to prepare to divide up his body, and a fight broke out among them. Lord Left Protector, you can find out about this matter by asking any cultivator who has returned from the battlefield. I won't lie to you."
