The forest was probably just an illusion. This place should be a patch of demonic fire, the result of a human's combat art.
The true rulers of Eternal Divine Nation should be the nine supreme experts. The fact that they'd set up such a formation on this side of the barrier was a show of "respect" to the primordial cultivators.
Yang Jian was cautious enough, but the other party was as cautious as well.
How could he get past the demonic fire belt?
If he left even the slightest trace in this area, his existence would be exposed to the supreme experts. What awaited him would be a frenzied hunt.
There seemed to be no solution. Unless Yang Jian only moved in this narrow desert, he couldn't extend his consciousness to the other side.
"Why do I feel like he knows that Senior Brother is coming?" Nezha mumbled softly, and Monkey glared at him.
Monkey cursed in a low voice, "Can't they be more optimistic? We'll have no advantage if we don't have the advantage of ambushes. "
The others smiled wryly. It was hard to pronounce, but it was the truth.
All the beings in Yang Jian's universe began to think about how to get past the first obstacle.
The universe had been tampered with. As long as they used their great dao or combat arts, they would be sensed.
The path ahead was blocked by a long and narrow belt of demonic fire. It was almost impossible to sneak past it.
Perhaps the other party was waiting for Yang Jian to come. As long as there was any sign of trouble, they would be able to confirm Yang Jian's whereabouts and a few supreme powerhouses would swarm over.
Yang Jian hadn't caused much commotion when he became a supreme expert, but there were many anomalies in the Sea of Dao. "Big Sister" should have sensed it.
What should he do?
In his beast form, Yang Jian hid in the sand and pondered quietly.
The Crippled Saber Senior hadn't done anything. It wasn't good to trouble the old man with such a small matter. He and the other Primordial Saints didn't have perfect concealment techniques.
Yang Jian's master and Skyflame Daoist were the only ones he could pin his hopes on. They were also frowning and thinking hard. They didn't seem to have a good idea either.
"Why don't we just kill our way in!"
Kong Xuan said from the side. He swiped his finger gently. "Just waiting like this isn't a solution."
"Don't be reckless," Yuding Zhenren said softly. Kong Xuan spread his hands and sat there without saying anything else.
Ao Xinke hummed a few times and asked, "Can you confuse the public? Let's get some clones to break through at different places at the same time, and then quickly hide our whereabouts after breaking through … In this way, even if the other party can't find our whereabouts for the time being, they will know that we've broken through here and will naturally be on guard. "
"After all, this is the territory of these powerful enemies. We don't know anything about this place," said Daoist Skyflame. "Don't be afraid of wasting time. Let's think of another way."
Therefore, the universe in the body quieted down again. The Grand Cultivators and Sages continued to think of ways to solve the current difficulties.
Yang Jian simply returned to his human form and sat on the ground, searching for clues.
Generally speaking, the earth had its own veins. Eternal Divine Nation had existed since ancient times, but their ideologies were roughly the same. The world should've existed in similar forms as well.
As expected, Yang Jian searched carefully and found many veins underground.
But at the same time, these veins had been sealed.
The seals weren't meant to stop enemies, but to "discover" them. They weren't that easy to fool.
The ground beneath Eternal Divine Nation seemed bottomless. Yang Jian's consciousness continued to probe for tens of thousands of miles, until he saw a sea of dazzling golden dao laws.
He was secretly astonished. Eternal Divine Nation wasn't a name for nothing. The earth itself was tens of thousands of times thicker than the primordial wilderness.
The sea of dao laws was visible at the very bottom of the earth, as if it was under the complete control of Eternal Divine Nation. A nation like this was above all dao and laws.
He really wanted to see how prosperous Eternal Divine Nation had been at its peak — it must've been during the short period when Du Bi had just retired from seclusion after his success.
Du Bi …
If Du Bi were here, what choice would he make?
"Just keep moving forward."
Remnant Sword's voice still echoed in his heart. Yang Jian slowly rose to his feet and rose above the sand.
Although he wanted to say "I'm coming" in a domineering manner, he wasn't strong enough. In the end, he chose a safer plan.
He raised a hand. Pure energy of the world converged from all directions and spread to the left and right in the blink of an eye.
Yang Jian took a step forward, and countless illusory figures appeared in the sky. Each illusory figure was ten miles apart, and they stretched out for millions of miles ….
This was only a small part of the enemy's "border."
The shadows charged forward, their powerful consciousnesses overlapping and surging. The long and narrow "forest" was instantly engulfed in demonic fire!
Dozens of Saint auras appeared in various places, but they looked at the demonic flames that were rising everywhere, as well as the figures that were crashing towards them, feeling somewhat at a loss.
"Hurry and inform the master!"
With a few loud shouts, the sages pounced on Yang Jian's shadow.
However, the shadow exploded as soon as it rushed out of the fire belt. The Eternal sages looked at each other in bewilderment.
It was very difficult for them to see through Yang Jian's movements.
However, they were only stationed here to relay the news to the divine lords of Eternal Divine Nation, the strongest experts in the world.
Yang Jian had come, and he'd charged into Eternal Divine Nation without any disguise.
As for where he'd go and when he'd reappear, it wasn't something the sages could predict. The divine lords would decide for themselves.
Behind the Demonic Fire Belt was a boundless desert.
There was no sign of life in the desert. There weren't even a few gusts of wind, and not a single cloud in the sky.
He could see the ruins of some dilapidated cities, as well as some huge skeletons lying on the ground or lying on their backs. Occasionally, he could sense the existence of living creatures, but there was not even one in several thousand kilometers, and they were all ferocious demon beasts.
This was Eternal Divine Nation, a "nation" that had died countless years ago.
However, no one knew whether the deathly stillness had been caused by the Eternal Godking, or by Du Bi.
Yang Jian was inclined to believe the former.
After all, the Eternal King had been crazy enough to use all living beings as fuel for his own breakthroughs.
"How big is this place?"
"It's more than a million times bigger than the primordial chaos."
"It's almost as big as the Chaos Sea on the other side."
The cultivators couldn't help but sigh in admiration as they looked at what Yang Jian saw through the mist.
Indeed, compared to Eternal Divine Nation, the primordial chaos was like the beginning of a great world of cultivation. Eternal Divine Nation, on the other hand, had already reached the apex of the path of dao.
From the perspective of the great world as a whole, Eternal Divine Nation was indeed at the end of its development.
However, Eternal Divine Nation's path wasn't the only one. The evolution of the great world wouldn't always lead to the state of "all things returning to one".
After flying carefully for an unknown distance, Yang Jian suddenly stopped and closed his eyes with a frown.
His consciousness scanned hundreds of thousands of kilometers in front of him. There seemed to be a border on the other side of the great desert. There were some mountain ranges that emanated the aura of living beings.
At the same time, however, Yang Jian sensed three completely different auras. They filled the "border" and seemed to be waiting for him to show up and fight.
One of them was very familiar — Ksitigarbha's. The other two were unfamiliar, but he guessed that they ranged from four to six.
Fighting one against three, Yang Jian didn't have much of a chance of winning.
But his opponents weren't stupid. Given the fact that he'd injured Ksitigarbha, they wouldn't give him a chance to take them down one by one. They would swarm him as soon as they saw him.
Every step was going to be difficult.
Yang Jian slowly extended his consciousness into the distance. As long as he wanted to and wasn't afraid that his consciousness would be discovered, he could slowly take in the entire Eternal Divine Nation.
The only downside was that it was too risky, and his opponents could easily locate his true body.
On the other side of the desert was a chain of mountains and rivers that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers. Looking down from above, the mountains and rivers seemed to be able to form many great formations.
The terrain of Eternal Divine Nation seemed to have been created by man. The desert was a desert, and the mountains were mountains.
When Yang Jian's Divine Sense spread across the mountains, he saw a boundless plain as far as the eye could see …
The aura of living beings on the plain was much denser.
However, Yang Jian quickly retracted his Divine Sense back into the various mountains and forests. He scanned the places where the auras of living beings gathered in the mountains.
Every fifty thousand kilometers, there would be an area in the mountains where different numbers of humans lived. Some had started out as primitive tribes, while others had grown into enormous cities.
Some of them were empty cities …
As Yang Jian's consciousness spread out, he gradually figured out the arrangements of the experts. His face turned ashen.
The experts were rearing humans like livestock.
Every three hundred years, they would choose a few thousand young and strong human men and women and use simple methods to make them multiply quickly.
Then, they would wait for the tribe to grow to a certain point before sending some of their subordinates to harvest the energy of living beings. A few thousand of them would be left behind, their memories wiped, and thrown into a forest with abundant food so that they could continue to multiply.
Even though the method was simple and crude, such a situation could be seen everywhere in this vast and boundless land of mountains and rivers. Practically every day, there would be the energy of living beings being absorbed into the pockets of supreme experts …
Yang Jian gritted his teeth. Nezha and the others were indignant.
But they couldn't do anything about it. They couldn't save anyone before they killed the experts.
The forest was like a pasture for living beings, and the plain seemed to be even more mysterious...
"I won't be appeased if I don't kill these experts!" Nezha cursed. The other cultivators were also distressed.
Zi Xia murmured in a low voice, "Master and Qing Qing are also extremely powerful."
"I'm talking about these bad experts …"
"Qing Qing," Yang Jian's voice sounded with a hint of anger. "Get ready to attack. We have to kill one or two people today no matter what. Help me."
"Yes," Qing Qing responded quickly. Her dao aura slowly solidified, ready to attack at any moment.
