Chapter 863

In that mural, the humans had just defeated the winged devils and were celebrating . They had gathered to kowtow in front of a group of people .

There were men and women in that group . They were standing in the air, sacred and holy, graceful and grand . The shocking thing was that there was a mark on their foreheads .

That mark was indistinct, but Long Chen could see that it was extremely similar to the one that appeared on Yue Xiaoqian when she released her core energy . Even the feeling he got from it was similar .

“Xiaoqian, are they your original devil race’s members?” asked Long Chen .

“I seem to be able to sense a familiar aura from their bodies, especially from those race marks on their foreheads . Even if they aren’t members of the original devil race, they should have a relations.h.i.+p with us . But look, in that era, the human race was so respectful to us, practically wors.h.i.+pping us . If they are really members of the original devil race, how could the original devil race have ended up being the public enemy of the entire world?” A lost expression appeared in Yue Xiaoqian’s eyes .

“Even you can’t be sure?”

Yue Xiaoqian shook her head . “My mother refuses to let me learn too many secrets . As for the Grand Elders, even they regard the secrets of our ancestors as something that can’t be leaked no matter what . They also refuse to say anything . Previously, I told you that any disciple that learns too many secrets will no longer be permitted to leave the Skysc.r.a.ping World . Although I don’t know the reason behind it, I’m sure my mother is doing what’s best for us . ”

Long Chen nodded . Looking at these people in the scene, countless questions revolved in his head . Supposing these people were from the original devil race, then just what had happened during this time?

From the murals, it seemed that the human race had received their help or pointers, which was the only way they had defeated the winged devils . These murals were eulogizing the original devil race’s contributions .

If these people really were members of the original devil race, if his guess was truly correct, then this riddle was a bit too frightening, wasn’t it?

From being wors.h.i.+pped like G.o.ds, they had become targets to be slaughtered and even the Heavenly Daos refused to accept them . What had happened?

Was it something related to the battle back then? Just what kind of history was hidden by that battle?

Yue Xiaoqian suddenly slashed her sword, killing a Rockthorn Mouse that was attacking them and breaking Long Chen’s pondering .

“Alright, let’s not waste too much time thinking about this . Whatever the truth is, it’ll be exposed sooner or later . But before we have enough power, learning those secrets has no meaning . Let’s keep going . ” Yue Xiaoqian pulled on Long Chen’s hand .

He nodded and they continued onwards . This underground world was like a maze . They were constantly being attacked by Rockthorn Mice .

After traveling a bit more, Long Chen felt like the spiritual pressure was growing stronger . He suddenly saw that Yue Xiaoqian was a bit pale . “Xiaoqian, what is it?”

“You… do you not feel that some illusions are starting to pop up?” Yue Xiaoqian looked at him with shock .

That was because an hour ago, she had started to feel that everything she was seeing was growing distorted . Illusions constantly popped up .

Sometimes the ground beneath her feet would become an abyss . Sometimes fierce devils would appear in front of her . Sometimes she would hear a strange sound behind her . From the start, she had known they had entered an illusion formation .

But seeing Long Chen easily brus.h.i.+ng it off, she hadn’t said a word . However, now the illusions were growing stronger, and they were becoming more and more realistic . She was starting to be unable to bear it .

Being caught in illusions, a person’s spiritual perception would sharply drop . At this time, even if a Rockthorn Mouse appeared right in front of her, she might not even notice it . That kind of feeling was extremely uneasy . It was like someone with excellent vision had become blind .

“Illusions? Where?” Long Chen’s words caused Yue Xiaoqian to feel shocked .

At this time, the Eastern Wasteland Bell rang out in his mind . “You’re different . You defeated yourself, and a version of yourself that was even stronger than you at that . Your will has reached a kind of pinnacle, and your Dao-heart is essentially flawless . The illusions here don’t just require powerful Spiritual Strength to resist . They are targeted toward a person’s heart-devils, the weaknesses in their hearts . Your will has reached a monstrous level, so this kind of illusion formation cannot shake you . You can’t even sense them, but she finds it very taxing here . ”

Long Chen didn’t know that this illusion formation was targeted toward a person’s heart . The more unsteady a person’s Dao-heart was, the easier they would be affected . The stronger their heart-devils, the greater their fear, the more things they feared would appear here . In the end, they would be lost in this labyrinth .

“Do you not feel anything at all?” Yue Xiaoqian felt this was inconceivable .

Long Chen smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist . He also released his will .

Releasing his will was like releasing his inner aura . That was an unrivaled will, one that could disdainfully look down on G.o.ds, the heavens, the earth, and the entire universe .
