The next morning …
More than a hundred thousand people gathered in the central square of Southern Desolation City. These people were all experts who possessed the bronze token and were qualified to enter the underground palace to search for treasures.
As for these guys, it was not appropriate to call them humans. However, it was even more inappropriate to say that they were not humans.
Looking around, there were cow heads, tiger heads, leopard heads … all kinds of heads were emerging endlessly.
However, looking at their bodies, almost all of them were in the form of humans. After all … this form was the form recognized by the Great Dao and was also the most suitable form for cultivation.
Therefore, although there were thousands upon thousands of races in Southern Desolation City, they were all in the form of humans.
Take the ox demons of the demon race as an example. If they maintained their ox form, then no matter how high their intelligence was, they would only be considered as demonic beasts. Anyone could kill them at will and would not offend the demon race.
However, once the ox demon had a human form, like Niu Huai who had an ox head and a human body, it would be a member of the demon race. If anyone dared to kill or eat it, then it would offend the entire demon race.
The word "human" in the Sea of Stars never referred to humans themselves. It referred to all living things that were similar to the human figure and walked upright.
Wild beasts that walked upright were demons and were called demonic humans!
Demonic beasts that walked upright were demons and were called demonic humans!
In the eyes of demons and demons, there was no essential difference between humans and demons. Therefore … in the eyes of the thousands of races in the Sea of Stars, humans were actually a branch of the demon race.
Humans had always disagreed with this statement. In the eyes of humans, humans were humans. They were an innate race that was born together with the Heavens and Earth and grew together.
However, Chu Xingyun was not so stupid. When he was refining the Seven Star Ancient Sword, he witnessed the origin of humans through the fragment of the continent.
Although it sounded awkward to say that humans were a branch of the demon race, it was the truth.
Although Chu Xingyun and Yuan Hong were completely different in appearance.
However, the truth was that both of them had the same ancestor, which was the ancient giant ape!
However, on the path of evolution, humans leaned towards the direction of intelligence while the ape race leaned towards the direction of strength.
Fundamentally speaking, humans were demons, demons were humans, and humans were a branch of the demon race.
However, from this perspective, all races originated from the most basic unit of life. All creatures had a common ancestor, and there was no need to differentiate between races.
Therefore … it was indisputable that humans originated from the demon race. Humans were definitely not innate creatures, but evolved after birth.
But now, the human race and the demon race had already embarked on two different paths of evolution. Therefore … it was clearly inappropriate to forcefully categorize the human race and the demon race.
Although the human race and the demon race were still closely related, in fact, the human race was already considered a unique and new race.
Before today, Chu Xingyun had a general understanding of the Southern Wasteland City from Lulu's mouth.
In Chu Xingyun's opinion, at this very moment, those who were gathered here and qualified to enter the underground palace were certainly arrogant and despotic people. Each and every one of them had a fierce look in their eyes, and looked like fiends.
In Chu Xingyun's opinion, the people here certainly looked like they were looking for a fight. One wrong look, and they might immediately start a fight. If they accidentally bumped into each other, they might even pull out their swords and kill on the spot!
But in fact, everything was obviously not like this.
As far as the eye could see, everyone was silent. Even though a hundred thousand people were squeezed together, no one was talking.
In the entire square, everyone's expression was very dull, so dull that it was almost indifferent.
Here, there was no arrogance and despotism, no arrogance and despotism. Everyone was like a good student, quietly standing there, waiting for the entrance to the underground palace to open.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere around, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If the people around were arrogant and despotic, Chu Xingyun wouldn't feel any pressure.
As the saying goes, a full bottle doesn't make a sound, a half bottle makes a lot of noise.
A real ruthless person wouldn't talk so much nonsense. If they really met, every word would be nonsense, and it would be more straightforward and direct than pulling out their swords.
Mixed in the crowd, Lulu and her three sisters were excited, and seemed out of place.
Seeing how excited the girls were, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but smile bitterly. This trip to the underground palace was definitely fraught with danger, but these four girls were so happy. It was as if they were going on an outing.
Silently sighing, Chu Xingyun knew that this was the environment and atmosphere of the ancient battlefield.
Everyone here was very afraid of death, but everyone was absolutely not afraid of death!
It was because they were afraid of death that they had to be unafraid of death.
Of course, among these 100,000 people, there were no more than 10,000 people who really had the Bronze Token.
The other 100,000 people, in fact, were followers, guards, or hunting team members, following the holders of the Bronze Token into the underground palace.
Rumble! Rumble …
Just as he was thinking, in the next moment … light blue pillars of light suddenly lit up on the square.
As the pillars of light appeared, everyone quickly moved and gathered in the direction of the pillars of light.
There were a total of 3,000 similar pillars of light, with 300 pillars appearing in each batch.
In other words, only 3,000 people would be able to enter the underground palace in the end.
If they couldn't snatch a pillar of light, then they wouldn't be able to enter the underground palace.
Seeing the four sisters anxiously rushing left and right, trying to snatch a pillar of light, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but shake his head.
If they were lucky enough, one or two of the four sisters would be able to enter the pillars of light.
But if they were unlucky, perhaps none of them would be able to enter.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xingyun waved his right hand and directly put the four sisters into the dimensional space.
Feeling the familiar spatial fluctuations, the four sisters didn't resist and were directly put away by Chu Xingyun.
After putting away the four sisters, the third batch of pillars of light happened to appear. One of the pillars of light happened to be in front of Chu Xingyun's left, about 30 meters away.
Taking a step forward, Chu Xingyun instantly activated the Transient Steps, and in the next moment … he instantly appeared in the middle of the pillar of light.
Blue light burst out, and in the next moment … Chu Xingyun's figure, together with the pillar of light, disappeared from the square.
At the same time, directly below the Southern Wasteland City, in the depths of the huge and magnificent underground palace, a blue light flashed, and Chu Xingyun appeared in a long passage.
Chu Xingyun carefully looked around. The underground palace's passageway was over a thousand meters tall and wide. Standing in such a vast passageway, Chu Xingyun felt like he was an ant. He was too small.
Chu Xingyun tried to open the dimensional space.
As soon as he gathered the spatial energy, Chu Xingyun felt a trace of difficulty.
