a stranger.The seeker should be true to their own heart. The dean seemed to have said this at some point in time.When Liu Yao thought of this sentence, she let out a breath of relief. She had found a...Just like the Demon Realm, behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Monsters lies a vast battlefield.
However, the Demon Realm is dominated by three main forces: Jueming Island, Dihailou, and Gu Valley. After the Wan Yao Men, it's jointly guarded by the world's powerful nations.
As the Marquis of Wuan, he was a distinguished military marquis. Upon formally entering the battlefield, he naturally couldn't act alone. Besides Bai Yu Xia, he also brought along Fang Yuan You and two hundred guards.
These two hundred men were certainly no match for the elite Nine Army, but they were all veterans who had fought alongside Jiang Wang in the War of Conquesting Xia. They were far more skilled than the average county army.
At this moment, all of the soldiers were fully equipped and lined up behind Jiang Wang.
Two hundred people, not a sound.
"The several sub-gates outside the central domain all have the possibility of being destroyed. As long as you are willing to pay a certain price, you can cut them off. Therefore, if the demon clan wants to counterattack the human world, they can still only pass through the gate for ten thousand demons left by the Human Emperor."
In Changji Water Village, Song Yao explained to Jiang Wang in detail: "Of course, the possibility of the demon clan attacking the human world again is basically nonexistent. So-called 'reclaiming the human world' is just the delusion of some old demons who are clinging to power."
As the largest naval base in Qi State, the part of the structure that spanned the Zi River was just the main body of Changji Water Fort. Its main body was extremely grand, with buildings on both sides like wings spread out.
>
Viewed from a high altitude, it resembles a hawk striking the water. The south bank extends further south, and the north bank stretches even further north, but staying within three or five miles of the shore, both sides gradually descend underground.
Jiang Wang followed Song Yao into the water village, going underground and traveling from the south. Along the way, they passed through many checkpoints, which were quite strict.
Changji Water Village's southern wing buildings, most of them are underground. Jiang Wang felt that they were roughly spanning half of Jichuan County beneath the ground, near the Qiaoshan Corridor.
"Are the buildings on the north wing of Changji Water Village this long too It feels like a majestic underground city." he asked.
As long as they didn't bring up Qing Shiguan, Jiang Wang was happy to chat with Song Zhenren for a while longer.
The vision and knowledge of a scholar from the Ministry of Officials are absolutely worthy of humble study.
“It’s not there.” The topic of Qing Shi Palace seemed like a casual mention, and Song Yao didn't bring it up again. Instead, she earnestly explained to the young man: “The underground buildings in Nan Wing extend so far and are built so grandly mainly to facilitate troop movement while ensuring secrecy. There is more than one entrance here, not only accessible from Chang Ji Water Village. Bridges Mountain County and Yi Yue County also have entrances.”
He looked around: "Actually, this place shouldn't be called the Southern Wing of Changji Water Village anymore. Many people call it the Ji Chuan Underground City."
All around, it was vast and empty, with nothing to be seen. It could almost accommodate thousands upon thousands of troops.
If you imagine the grand spectacle of a massive army departing from here, you would naturally feel a sense of grandeur.
However, the external manifestation of the Wan Yao Gate isn't in the shape of a gate. More figuratively speaking, it should be considered a curtain of light, a tremendously magnificent purple light barrier situated right in the center of this enormous square.

Like a heavily laden wall, it stood there isolated.
From any side you enter, it leads to the world where demons dwell.
That was also the human race, bravely fighting on the battlefield for a long time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"I've been thinking, what kind of world lies beyond the Wan Yao Gate" Jiang Wang gazed at the wall, his eyes holding a rare anticipation: "It won't be long before I can see it for myself."
The legend of the human race against the demon clan, he had heard it for so many years. And all the way through his cultivation journey, he finally possessed a certain level of strength, allowing him to step onto that battlefield and trace back the path fought by his predecessors, the sages of old.
At this moment, only Song Yao and Jiang Wang's group remained in front of the main gate of Wan Yao Men.
More precautions and inspections have already been completed further away.
"The world behind the Gates of Ten Thousand Demons is vast beyond measure. From ancient times to the present day, its boundaries have yet to be explored. Now many of us call it the 'Demon Realm,' but it wasn't originally a world inhabited by demons." Song Yao had a faint smile on his face as he tapped the ground lightly with his boot: "The demons' original home was here. The place where our ancestors lived for generations."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The end of the ancient times and the beginning of the Shang ancient times was marked by the human race driving the demon race to the outside world. This, of course, Jiang Wang knew. More detailed history was buried deep in time, just as someone "revealed the truth" before him.
>
Song Yao said again: “The so-called ‘demon world’ is actually not suitable for survival. It was originally just a chaotic and lifeless void. The ancient sages drove the demon clan out of the mortal realm, of course, not to find them a place to live and recuperate, but to break their backbone and shatter their spirits, to completely erase this race from all heavens and myriad worlds!”
"This is a chaotic world right next to the mortal realm, in ancient times it was called the Heavenly Prison Demon Clan. They would throw those who committed grave sins into the Heavenly Prison, causing them to dissolve within the chaos."
>
“Creatures of ancient times, hearing the name of Heavenly Prison would be terrified. “In that final great war, the main force of the demon race was forcibly driven into this chaotic world. They were supposed to perish here in chaos, thus atoning for their sins committed in ancient times.”
“The sages, with their immense power, completely sealed the Heavenly Prison. They sought to use the power of time to eradicate those formidable demon clan powerhouses that were difficult to erase. Chaos would dissolve all existence over a long period of time.”
During the time when the Heavenly Prison was sealed, the Ancient Demon Emperor sacrificed himself. He offered his blood to his clan and, using supreme divine powers, refined his body, soul, intention, and life force, ultimately creating one hundred and eight Demon Life Beads.
These one hundred and eight Demon Life Jade Beads subdued the earth, wind, fire, and water, re-enacting heaven and earth, opening up this chaotic world, giving it vitality and primordial force, leaving the demon race with their last place to breathe.
Later, they created the Heavenly Demon Dharma Platforms, using these platforms to illuminate the chaotic world completely. This completed the evolution of the world and continued the survival rules of the demon race. They did create miracles of life, nurturing infinite possibilities within chaos.
When the prison seal disappeared that day, it was still in the early days of ancient times. The demon race launched an extremely fierce counterattack and invaded the mortal world several times, but they were all beaten back in the end.
The human race fights with flesh and blood, unwilling to give up anything that their ancestors fought hard for.
From then on, the demon clan repeatedly launched offensives against the human world based on this newly born world. Countless strong individuals fell, including some names that shone throughout eternity. Flesh and blood paved the way across the gaps between the two worlds. The war raged for hundreds of thousands of years, lasting until the middle of the ancient era when the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons was built.
>
"The stories of the ancients are grand and awe-inspiring. Later generations revere them deeply. " Jiang Wang sighed with emotion: "Though that history is distant, even now, hearing it stirs the blood. What can we cultivators of today do"
“Nine words,” Song Yao said: “Seek Dharma Altar, lay demon bones, build a great city!”
"Simply put, it is about finding the celestial demon altar of the demon clan and destroying it, extinguishing its power. Then, on that foundation, we will build a city belonging to our human race, using as many bones of the demon clan as possible."
“You’ve fought in the Realm of Illusion, haven’t you Places like the Sea-Destroying Nest and the Floating Islands are just like that.”
Someday, when the human banner flies all over the demon realm, the demon race can officially declare its extinction. That day is still far away, but it is worth looking forward to.
Song Yao stood with his hands behind his back, watching the light curtain ahead. The purple glow on it had already begun to flow. That was a sign that the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons had been opened.

He continued, "Of course, when it comes to each individual country. What we need to do is hold our own territory, capture more demon creatures, and manufacture more opening meridian pills, so that the country can gain more resources."
“As for you personally, Marquis Wu'an,” he looked over and said earnestly, “Please take care of yourself for the country!”
Even with abundant resources, one cannot buy a peerless genius.
Because true strength cannot be built with resources. However, the world behind the Wan Yao Gate is a place where no one can guarantee safety.
Jiang Wang bowed respectfully to the official, saying, "Jiang Wang is grateful for your instruction."
Then, he bent his sword and walked towards the already open gate of Myriad Demons.

Then followed Bai Yu Xia, closely behind, and after her, a retinue of two hundred.

A mere two hundred people, yet they seemed like thousands upon thousands of soldiers.

The road ahead is fraught with peril.
A valiant warrior never looks back.
That purple veil of light concealed everything beyond. In the Jizchuan Underground City, you could see nothing. But when boots stepped across the light curtain, this body traversed the world gate, and what lay before your eyes was vastly different!
This is a brutal world. The primordial energy is extremely volatile, and cultivators instinctively absorb it from heaven and earth. This natural process of cultivation, which typically takes a long time, in this world, even feels like swallowing iron sand down your throat.
Everything here is not up to par.
Jagged rocks, black and gray smoke billowing.

The air was filled with the acrid smell of burning...

It's best not to breathe.
Whether it's said to be full of wounds or scarred beyond repair,
In this unsettling world, in that uneven sensory experience, the newcomer looked ahead—a great city stood before them.
The large city occupied by the human race.
It certainly wasn't as grand as Linzi, just an ordinary border town. Very crude, like it was simply built with massive stones haphazardly stacked together. But there was a kind of unyielding hardness to it, the kind that felt like when flesh and blood were beaten to pulp, revealing bone.
From the carved characters on the city gate, it was recognizable. This was one of the major cities controlled by the State of Qi in the Demon Realm, named "Yanlao." The city gate was a drawbridge-style, slowly lowering with a rumbling sound. The Yanlao garrison, who had received advance notice, used their sword backs to strike their armor, creating a clang of metal, welcoming the arrival of Marquis Wu'an of Great Qi.
Of course, he already had enough military achievements, but he still needed to prove himself on this brutal battlefield. The honor given to him by the nation and the praise bestowed upon him by humanity, the true strong ones always prove themselves time and again.
And upon that lofty wall stood a figure, clad in white armor and snow-white robes, with an unparalleled elegance.
His long hair danced in the air, like burning black flames. "I heard you were coming, so I came to greet you!"
His voice echoed through heaven and earth, clashing with the very fabric of existence. Behind the Gates of Ten Thousand Demons, he exuded an untamed ferocity, a primal savagery that was previously restrained. "Welcome to Heaven's Prison," he declared, his words dripping with malice. "You can also call it the Demon Realm, though we prefer 'The Hunting Ground of Ten Thousand Beasts.' This is a hunting ground for the strong, and a graveyard for the weak."
"Jiang Wuan!"
This man carried a silver gun and shot straight into the sky, shattering the miles of smoke and dust: "Follow me!"
Like silver lightning, it streaked across the sky. A deafening boom followed by a flash, and it was already gone.
Ji Zhaonan's welcoming manner was truly unexpected, but Jiang Wang did not hesitate. He simply made a gesture to Bai Yuxia and immediately stood up, soaring through the sky. After all, he, Jiang Someone, wasn't completely unfamiliar with the place behind the Ten Thousand Demons Gate.
The Grand General Xiu Yuan, commanding the Nine Army Divisions, has already led his Prisoner's Battalion to relocate behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons. He has replaced Shi Mingli and his Winter Silence Army.
>
Ren Jia's unparalleled strategist, Zhao Nan, frequently fought at the gates of Wan Yao for years.
These are all quite familiar. To be honest, I wouldn't say I was close friends with Ji Zhao-nan, but we were at least in the same cohort who went out on campaign together at Guanhetai. There was a bit of camaraderie there.
He wanted to see the scenery of the demon world for himself, so he went to see it.
Today, even though we are both blessed by the divine, who cares about mountains of blades and seas of fire, dangerous and treacherous places. Ji Zhannan can go there, so can Jiang Wang. The sky of the demon realm is gray.
In the distant and obscure corners, there is a faint dark outline. However, it is difficult to grasp its specifics.
Flying high in the air, colliding with the rules of this world. The faster the speed, the more intense it becomes. A faint circle of fire surrounds him, constantly extinguishing and reigniting, deepening his understanding of this world rapidly.
My body shattered into dust, a fierce wind like blades cutting through me.
The edges of his clothes rustled, the sound strangely dry and brittle. His perfectly good Ru Yi fairy robe seemed poised to burst into flames at any moment. This demonic realm was undoubtedly harsh, but compared to the desolate borderlands and illusory realms Jiang Wang had visited before, it wasn't so difficult to adapt to. At least he didn't need soul stones or illusion crystals here.
Ji Zhaonan flew straight ahead, without stopping at all. This unrestrained and terrifying speed was impossible for Bai Yu xia and the others to keep up with.
Therefore, Jiang Wang initially only allowed Bai Yu Xia to lead the team into the city to rest, while he pursued them.
Fang Yuan's abilities were nothing extraordinary, just average. His two hundred personal guards were not considered top-tier soldiers in the world. However, with Bai YuXia by his side, adapting to the environment of the demon realm would be absolutely no problem.
“Where are you taking me, Brother Ji” Jiang Wang finally caught up and asked loudly.
Ji Zhao Nan didn't turn around, only leaving his voice in the wind: "You arrived at a good time, Dong Yue is about to pass but hasn't yet!"
“We have three days to play a game of hunt the sabertooth!”
Three days
A game of hunting competition
Jiang Wang didn't understand what Ji Zhaonan was trying to do at all. In the next moment, he felt a dramatic change in heaven and earth!
It was as if bursting from a furnace choked with ash, into the icy expanse of a glacier stretching thousands of feet. The searing heat vanished instantly, replaced by an endless flurry of goose-feather snowfall that seemed to fill the world and never cease.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
From a high vantage point, it is an expanse of white.
From the heights of heaven to the frozen earth, where are those who come
There is a palpable barrier ahead. Those who have been summoned here all know that they cannot pass it. At least, not by flying directly overhead.
>
This is a rule directly connected to the nature of the world, fundamentally impossible to transcend.
The only passage is below.

Look down. In the lifeless expanse of white, there is a unique landscape.
Whew! Whew! Whew!

A furious wind howled through the immense valley.
And Ji Zhaonan had unfurled his snowy cloak, grasped his spear upside down, and plunged straight down the mountain valley. "Here comes Ji Zhaonan of Daqi!"
Jiang Wang's blazing sun-red eyes could clearly see that within the narrow ravine, there were broken limbs scattered everywhere, and blood flowed freely.
He saw that the demonic clan members were not the aged and feeble one-horned demons he had seen in the pine forest outside Songtao City in Xuguó. Instead, they were strong and powerful, clad in armor like valiant demon warriors!
These demon warriors, each one looks very similar to human beings, except for perhaps a mark on their forehead, or wings, or a long tail, these unique features inevitably reveal their special nature.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even the weakest among them are at least comparable to human cultivators in the Inner Palace Realm. Moreover, every demon warrior possesses divine powers!
A constant stream of demon warriors, like a surging tide, poured in from one end of the narrow valley.
The main body of the entire vast valley is impossible to see from high above. The visible valley path belongs to the human race now—that is, the demon army's front line is pushing forward. Jiang Wang already understands why Ji Zhao Nan was in such a rush, stopping for no reason along the way.
Just at this moment, Ji Zhaonan descended from the sky, stirring up the snowflakes, like a snow-white dragon, suddenly piercing into the valley! In an instant, he devoured countless demonic blood and flesh. The white armor on his body was dotted with red snow.
What a good murder weapon!
Jiang Wang didn't have time to make more observations. All the information he got was from the fleeting glimpse during the rapid approach, just a few passing police officers.
His excellent hearing picked up a curse from the valley: "Damn you, Ji Zhao Nan! You said you could run faster and buy time to call for reinforcements, where are your reinforcements!"
"Hahahahahaha." Ji ZhaoNan laughed wildly, "He's here! He's finally here!"
"Sure enough, the hell he wasn't here specially to greet me."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
There are no good people under the command of a god of war!
A thought flashed across Jiang Wang's mind, but his long sword was already unsheathed. He moved like a comet falling into the valley, boundless sword energy forming its tail as it whistled through the snowy sky above—
"The Marquis Wu'an of Qi is here."King" and a multi-word king "False King," corresponding to the True Cultivators and the Divine Arrival Cultivators, respectively.As for the Imperial Master, the counterpart is naturally a Human race's...
