After giving his instructions, Yun Yang swayed and cast his long-awaited wood elemental power once more, becoming one with the tree and disappearing.
Yun Yang had actually transformed into the wood element, climbing upwards along the trunk of the tree as one.
Although the tree's appearance was peculiar, it was only a thousand feet tall. If the crown was not taken into account, the tree trunk looked to be at most hundreds of feet tall. Yun Yang had confirmed all of this through his movements; there did not seem to be any problems.
However, Yun Yang still felt that something was amiss.
There were no problems elsewhere, and there were no problems here as well. Then, where did the problem lie?
It was impossible for the Demonic Realm to simply rear the human race, to provide them with ample food and clothing, to live peacefully until they died of old age. There must be a problem.
There was no such logic!
These people were not the parents of the Demonic Realm.
The so-called no problem meant that the problem had yet to be discovered!
The lush forest in front of him could be said to be the most suspicious point at the moment!
…
When Yun Yang cast his wood elemental power, it was like a gust of fresh air that slowly went up the tree trunk without any obstruction. However, when he looked to the top of the tree from the outside, the main trunk was still as thick as five to six people hugging around it, but when he looked up with his naked eye, there was nothing left!
Yun Yang's thoughts raced as he extended his deific consciousness to sense the area, but there was still nothing there. It was as if there was nothing above!
In spite of this, the gust of fresh air that Yun Yang had turned into was still floating up. This meant that there was still something above!
It was just that it could not be seen with the naked eye and could not be sensed by deific consciousness!
At the same time, it also meant that there was something fishy about this place, or perhaps … the truth was about to be revealed!
The fresh air continued to move upwards.
Gradually, it reached the top.
The gigantic pillar propped up this place to this point. It was sealed tightly by a piece of sturdy crystal.
It was equivalent to a sturdy ceiling.
Then, Yun Yang realized that while the rest of the area was tightly sealed, the trunk of the tree was extended out.
This meant that a huge structure had been built and these trees were buried inside, leaving only the treetop outside.
Yun Yang tried his best to climb upwards carefully.
The gap was very small.
If it was not for Yun Yang's manifestation powers, especially his wood element powers, which could be derived from wood, if it was anyone else, even if it was a Saint Lord, the most they could do was to force their way out. The rest could only sigh helplessly.
He continued to climb upwards for hundreds of feet …
Light appeared in front of him again.
The thickness of this so-called ceiling was actually hundreds of feet! From this, one could see how careful the Demon Race had been when they built this place.
The tree trunk appeared once again.
It grew straight up. After climbing another thousand feet, they finally reached the top.
It was still the same long line.
Above them, there was still an extremely sturdy crystal ceiling. It was hard to tell how thick it was.
At the tip of each tree, there was a thin, tender green branch that stood straight up.
Above the branch, on the ceiling, was a small sun, a small moon, and a total of 108 twinkling stars.
At the very center, there was a mysterious pattern.
Yun Yang could basically confirm that this was the key to the setup. He had found the place!
In spite of this, he did not act recklessly. Instead, he continued to lurk here, keeping his guard up.
He was waiting, waiting for the people below to make a move, observing the changes in silence.
The three trees on the left were one of the targets he had set for the three of them to cultivate and comprehend later. The few trees on the right were reserved for the young couples. Yun Yang did not ask which one it was. The young couples would choose randomly, so it was hard to say which one they would choose … but they probably would not choose to be next to each other.
…
After a long, long time …
Yun Yang felt that at least four hours had passed.
Finally, there was movement below.
First, it was on the right side where the young couple was. The thin branches that extended from the top of a few trees shook slightly, almost beyond the naked eye. If Yun Yang had not been paying attention and had spread his deific consciousness, it would have been difficult for him to notice it.
However, it did not matter even if he did not notice the shaking of the thin branches, because as they shook, the patterns of the sun, moon, and stars above the branches lit up instantly.
The sudden light was too dazzling. Even when Yun Yang tried his best, he could only see wisps of gray fog slowly emerging from the tip of the branches. It was really just wisps …
Then, the three lights spun and flickered again. The mysterious pattern in the middle suddenly emitted an extremely dense demonic Qi, absorbing the wisps of strange aura without missing a single drop.
Then, the tips of the four trees on the right moved at the same time, releasing wisps of gray gas one after the other.
"Something is wrong indeed." Yun Yang thought to himself, "The four young couples are in their respective sealed spaces … unable to control their emotions, they have done shameful things …"
"As for this strange building of the Demon Race, or rather, some kind of formation, it should be absorbing the purest air of human reproduction and life when their emotions are at their peak …"
"If my guess is correct, this should be the case."
"I roughly understand the situation here. What about the other side?"
…
Yun Yang focused and directed his attention to the left.
The time spent on the other side was even longer. After another fourteen to sixteen hours, only then did the tips of the three trees show signs of shaking. This time … although the energy extracted was very weak, much less than the trace of energy on the other side, it was slightly yellow, which was even more eye-catching.
As the leader of a newly ascended Celestial Luck Banner sect, Yun Yang immediately made a judgment and confirmed the root cause.
"This is … the aura of the Celestial Luck Banner's energy!"
Yun Yang could not help being shocked when he came to this conclusion.
It was common knowledge that the Celestial Luck Banner was an intangible object that could not be destroyed. Such an object also meant that the energy contained within would not be transferred. However, the scene and result in front of him stirred waves in Yun Yang's heart!
The Demon Race actually had a way to achieve such an impossible result!
With such a special method, they could slowly collect the origin energy aura. Even if they only collected a tiny bit of it each time, it would slowly accumulate year after year, generation after generation … One day, they would be able to enter the Bound of Universe effortlessly by relying on the aura they collected here!
They would no longer need to pass through the Blood Soul Mountain or the Holy Land of Celestial Punishment to enter the Bound of Universe!
When that time came, it would be the real catastrophe of the Bound of Universe!
Most of the human experts were stationed at the Blood Soul Mountain, leaving it extremely empty inside, while the Demon Race came in from another passage!
What would they do then? What could they use to resist?
Yun Yang even had more thoughts. Perhaps there was more than one passage similar to the one in the Holy Land of Celestial Punishment?
Of course.
There must be more than one place like the one below where humans were imprisoned!
Perhaps there were a dozen or dozens of them, but they were all unknown. After all, the Demon Race had been robbing promising young human cultivators for some years!
From this, Yun Yang was almost certain that the opening of the Celestial Demon passage in the Holy Land of Celestial Punishment this time was ninety-nine percent related to this aura!
This fact further indicated that the Demon Race had found the right way and had already put it into action!
This was an earth-shattering secret!
