Qiu Family's Scripture Tower.
After Ji Chuan and Lu Qing Shan came to the Qiu Family Head to ask for more information, Qiu Chang Qing brought them here.
Before a large cabinet.
Qiu Changqing pointed at the dozens of jade slips on the cabinet. "Esteemed cultivators, the jade slips on the cabinet contain all the information our Qiu Family has recorded about the origin and the Provenance Monster. If you need them, feel free to look through them."
Ji Chuan nodded. "Thank you, Patriarch Qiu."
"Of course. After all, you two esteemed cultivators came to help our Qiu Family resolve the Provenance Monster crisis. We will do our best to cooperate." Qiu Changqing smiled. "Then I'll take my leave first. Please help yourselves."
Qiu Changqing tactfully took his leave, leaving the two esteemed cultivators alone.
"Let's look around." Lu Qingshan glanced at the dazzling array of jade slips and sighed. "Let's see if we can find any useful clues."
A moment later.
"Take a look at this." Ji Chuan handed a jade slip to Lu Qingshan.
The jade slip contained a brief introduction of the Provenance Monster King.
The Provenance Monster King was considered one of the most difficult eighth rank Monster Kings to kill. It was said that as long as the Provenance Monster King lived, the Provenance Monster King would not die.
This was because the Provenance Monster King cultivated a special cultivation method. It was said to come from the Yellow Springs and was obtained from the Geomancy Map of the Nine Hells.
As long as he couldn't kill the Provenance Monster King in one go, he could quickly recover from his injuries by absorbing the Yellow Springs death qi.
In other words, as long as he was in the origin, the Provenance Monster King was a near-immortal existence.
In addition, the Provenance Monster King's cultivation method had a special ability. He could condense a Yellow Springs Bead that was linked to his life. It was similar to the cultivator's Golden Elixir.
The Yellow Springs Bead had many powerful abilities. The strangest of them all was the ability to absorb the souls of living beings in the six paths of reincarnation and refine them to increase his own strength.
It was this ability that allowed the Provenance Monster King to rise against the heavens and become an eighth rank Monster King in the origin where not even a seventh rank Provenance Monster King had appeared.
"Refining the souls of living beings …" Lu Qingshan's expression was grave.
Once a person's soul was refined, it would be impossible for them to reincarnate.
This method was too cruel and went against the laws of heaven. It had always been a taboo among cultivators.
The Origin Demon King was extremely difficult to kill, and his divine abilities were extremely ruthless. No wonder he was said to be one of the most difficult demon kings to deal with.
After all, if the Sourcebeast King bore a grudge against him, he would be in deep trouble.
Lu Qingshan held another jade slip in his hand and also had some gains, "According to the records of the Qiu Family, an extremely strange thing happened in the Source 30 years ago."
Ji Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"Thirty years ago, there was a change in the death aura of the Yellow Spring in the origin. The specific reason is unknown.
But after that day, the Origin Demon Empress had mysteriously died.
It was said that the grief-stricken Origin Monster King had gone on a killing spree in the Origin Source, causing countless Origin Monsters to tremble in fear.
At that time, a group of Origin Demons were so frightened that they temporarily fled their source of origin. They only returned after a long time. "
"The Origin Demon Empress?" Ji Chuan asked.
"The Origin Demon King's spouse, a sixth-rank Origin Demon," Lu Qingshan said, "The Origin Demon Empress and the Origin Demon King's relationship is an anecdote.
The Origin Demon Empress was born with an extraordinary bloodline and was incomparably noble. She was the descendant of the most powerful Origin Demon in the Origin Source.
The Origin Demon King was lucky enough to obtain the Geomancy Map of the Nine Hells from the Yellow Springs and rise to prominence.
But before he truly rose to prominence, the Origin Demon Empress fell in love with the Origin Demon King, who was still a minor Origin Demon at the time, and married him.
The Origin Demon King used this opportunity to rise to prominence and become one of the most noble Origin Demons in the Origin Source. He was given countless resources.
In that case, the Origin Demon Empress was responsible for at least ten percent of the Origin Demon King's growth to become an eighth-rank Origin Demon.
Because of this, the Origin Demon King and the Origin Demon Empress were extremely close. On the day of the Origin Demon Empress' death, the Origin Demon King was so grief-stricken that he implicated so many Origin Demons. "
"Interesting." Ji Chuan chuckled. "To think that the Origin Demon King would be so sentimental despite being a Monster."
Ji Chuan fell into deep thought for a moment before saying, "Although I don't have any concrete evidence, I have a feeling that the Hades' scheme has something to do with the Origin Demon Empress' mysterious death thirty years ago."
Lu Qingshan nodded in agreement.
"Here's some information about the Origin Source.
The Origin Source is a restricted area, so the human race's understanding of its structure is extremely shallow.
They only know that the Origin Source is divided into four major regions: north, south, east, and west. Each region is ruled by a sixth-rank Origin Demon known as the Four Great Monster Lords.
The Origin Demon King's territory is located at the very center of the four major regions.
The relationship between the Origin Demon King and the Four Great Monster Lords is similar to the relationship between an emperor and his vassals in the mortal world. The Origin Demon King has no intention of directly unifying the Origin Source, so the four major regions of the Origin Source are ruled by the Four Great Monster Lords.
However, if the Origin Demon King gives an order, the Four Great Monster Lords will obey him. "Lu Qingshan glanced at the jade slip before continuing.
Ji Chuan pondered for a moment before analyzing, "From this, we can at least conclude that the Origin Demons are under the control of the Monster Lords.
So many Origin Demons have left the Origin Source to invade Burial Ridge. They couldn't have acted on their own accord. It's obvious that they're under the command of an organization. "
Lu Qingshan's gaze sharpened. "Was it an order from the Monster Lords?"
"That's the most likely possibility. If it was an order from the Origin Demon King, the scale of the Origin Demon rebellion wouldn't be so small."
Ji Chuan nodded. "Of course, that's only the most likely possibility. Perhaps there is someone else besides the Monster Lords who can command the Origin Demons."
"The Origin Source and Burial Ridge have always coexisted peacefully. There's no reason for the Origin Demons to suddenly have designs on Burial Ridge.
After all, there's no Yellow Springs death energy in Burial Ridge. It's not a place where the Origin Demons can stay for long.
If the Origin Demons hadn't absorbed the Yellow Springs death energy stored in the Origin Stone Orchid mine, we wouldn't even need to exterminate them. They'd obediently return to the Origin Source in half a month.
Behind such abnormal signs, it's obvious that the Hades have used some unknown method to form a connection with the Origin Demons. "
Lu Qingshan said in a low voice, "If we want to deal with the source of this Origin Demon rebellion, our top priority should be to find the Hades cultivator hiding in the dark."
.....
In a place shrouded in Yin Qi.
"Hallmaster Nine Serenities, the Origin Demons have been affected by our Nine Serenities Miasma. They've already launched an attack on the three families in Burial Ridge."
The Hades cultivator known as Hei Luo was reporting respectfully to Nine Serenities Hallmaster. "The Lin Family and the Hua Family have been destroyed by the Origin Demons' attack.
Only the Qiu Family managed to kill all the Origin Demons because of the Sword Sect disciples. "
When he said this, Hei Luo smiled smugly. "This is exactly what we've been hoping for."
When Nine Serenities Hallmaster heard this, he revealed a sinister smile. "The sacrifice of so many Origin Demons is more or less enough to infuriate the Demon Lords …
Make preparations. Inadvertently expose the clues we've set up to Ji Chuan and let him find the 'source' of the Origin Demons' rebellion. "
"Doesn't he want to quell the Origin Demons' rebellion?
Hehe … Let him quell it then. I'm afraid he won't be able to … "Nine Serenities Hallmaster's tone was extremely cold.
"Understood. I'll make the arrangements now," Hei Luo immediately replied. Then, he retreated and vanished into the shadows.
