Chapter 450: Uninvited Guest
"Demon Realm...... Isn't it sealed, how is it possible?"
Bao Wangye bounced up from the chair with a look of surprise on his face.
The Demon Realm has long existed, and it is not unaware of this, but when the Ghost Domain is strong, the Demon Realm has not yet become a climate, and he does not dare to compete with the Ghost Domain.
And in the eyes of Prince Bao, the Demon Realm is more often in the Xiyuan Continent, and even if he occasionally comes to the Tianluo Continent, he is always careful to avoid head-on conflict with humans.
Therefore, Jin Dasheng mentioned the demon world, which surprised Prince Bao.
"Actually, I'm just guessing. Kim Daesung was noncommittal, but it was difficult to make a conclusion.
After the Ghost Domain was sealed, the Demon Realm finally rose rapidly 10,000 years ago after thousands of years of silence.
Its momentum is far faster than that of the ghost domain back then, and its strength is also much surpassed, from the Xiyuan Continent like a tiger descending from the mountain, it goes straight to the Tianluo Continent.
After the war with the ghost realm, an idle person is already at the end of the crossbow, but he has faded out of the eyes of the world for decades, and when the demon world is in chaos, he has long been gone.
Jin Dasheng suspected that the reason why the Demon Realm had retracted his soul was mainly because he felt that the strength of the Demon Realm had increased too quickly.
In less than 10,000 years, the Demon Realm wanted to suddenly become the strongest in the entire living space from an unknown and fearful outlier.
If the Demon Realm didn't get the help of special cultivation things, it was really hard to be convinced.
Since the ghost domain was sealed, it has not received human souls, and in the battle between humans and ghosts, the number of people killed was no less than a million.
If the Demon Realm took advantage of the fact that humans and the Ghost Realm were almost defeated, secretly collecting all kinds of souls and refining them, or refining these souls for themselves to help improve their cultivation strength, it seemed to be a better explanation.
Of course, these are just the thoughts of Jin Dasheng, and he also knew from the black and white impermanence that the human soul has not entered the ghost realm for 20,000 years.
Combined with some of the situations that I have inadvertently mastered in order to find a wisp of divine soul for many years, I make a rough guess.
In fact, Jin Dasheng himself, there is no evidence to prove that the demon world is the culprit in gathering souls.
"If that's the case, then how can you explain the soul after the Demon Realm is sealed?"
Compared to Jin Dasheng, Prince Bao is much calmer, although in 20,000 years, he has never set foot in the human world, and even knows very little about the affairs of the demon world.
But as the former Hell King, Prince Bao would never take it for granted like Jin Dasheng and preset an imaginary enemy out of thin air.
Evidence must be relied upon in everything, otherwise, many specious and seemingly unreasonable things will often lead to all kinds of unjust, false and wrongful cases.
"This ...... Da Lao Hei, you know, I only have two wisps of soul, and one is missing, how can my brain be as powerful as you. ”
was questioned by Prince Bao, Jin Dasheng suddenly lost his confidence, spread his hands, and said quite aggrievedly.
According to Jin Dasheng's speculation, the Demon Realm used a large number of human souls as auxiliary materials for cultivation, and was able to raise the cultivation strength of the entire Demon Realm to an unattainable height in a relatively short period of time.
If you simply isolate those 10,000 years, it may be reasonable, but the Demon Realm has been sealed by the Five Elements Emperor, and it has been another 10,000 years.
There is still some possibility that the soul before the Great War of Man and Demon will be used by the Demon Realm, and after the Demon Realm is sealed, it is impossible to continue to collect and use the human soul.
Just the souls generated by the war between humans and demons are already considerable, and the normal death of human beings will also cause a large number of souls.
Combined, these souls are no less than the number before the Great War of Humans and Demons, but no one knows where these souls go.
Since it is confirmed that the Demon Realm cannot collect all the souls after the seal, then one thing is certain - this matter is definitely not the work of the Demon Realm.
Taking a step back, even if the Five Elements Emperor Venerable hadn't wiped out the Demon Realm at that time, the number of Demon Realm members left outside would not be too many.
Even if those fish that slipped through the net continued to engage in the practice of using their souls to cultivate, it would be impossible to collect all the souls.
"Other...... Who else would do such a thing?"
Prince Bao seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be asking Jin Dasheng.
It is incomprehensible how such a large number of souls could have disappeared inexplicably without a trace of news.
Generally speaking, the souls of the dead are of little use to humans and other living beings, even magical beasts.
Even if there are some occasional souls that can pass through the souls of the dead, and the souls required by martial cultivators who practice special secret techniques are only very small, and they are prone to deviations in cultivation, making it difficult to succeed.
Unless......
Demon Clan!
Jin Dasheng and Bao Wangye thought of the demon clan almost at the same time.
Demon clan is a broad concept, and there are no specific defining indicators.
Animals, plants, and even some dead things in the eyes of ordinary people may become part of the demon clan by chance.
Strictly speaking, the elf clan can be regarded as a demon clan, like Cao'er, Tai Sui, etc., and the green cow transformed into a Xuanmu essence is a veritable demon clan.
"It won't be a demon. Jin Dasheng and Bao Wangye shook their heads in unison and denied their guesses.
The demon clan is almost everywhere, and if they are gathered together, then the number of demon clan members may exceed that of any type of living being.
Moreover, in addition to humans, there may be demon races mixed among other living beings.
Most of the time, it is difficult for people to distinguish the demon race from other living beings, and it is not even easy to distinguish them.
However, it is precisely because of the characteristics of the demon race that they cannot organize all the members together to form a powerful and huge race.
Due to the different experiences of becoming demons, the ways are also different, and the demons that survive in different environments have independent ways of doing things and living habits.
If they are forcibly grouped together, not only will they not be able to form a stable group, but they will be difficult to integrate with each other.
They are not willing to compromise and accept different personalities, and often go their own way, so that natural friction is constant, and conflicts may occur at any time.
Perhaps, in a certain environment, the demon clan will temporarily assemble and form an alliance to achieve a common goal.
However, more often than not, the demon clan is in their own camp, doing their own thing, and not interfering with each other.
There are also some members of the demon clan, who are attached to or mingle with all kinds of living beings, and as long as they can continue to cultivate, they will not cause danger to others.
The cultivation methods of the demon clan are complicated, and they cannot be generalized, and the cultivation of using the soul of the dead is not very peculiar.
However, expecting such a scattered demon clan to consume the souls of millions of deceased, even the half-brained Jin Dasheng thought it was impossible.
After excluding the Demon Realm and the Demon Clan, Jin Dasheng and Bao Wang Ye couldn't think of a more suitable candidate in the world who could consume all the souls of the dead in time.
"Could it be...... There are other species in this world that we don't know about, or people who are so powerful that we can't imagine?"
Bao Wang Ye fell into thought and muttered to himself.
Sealed for 20,000 years, Prince Bao has been practicing in retreat almost all except for his daily affairs.
Little is known about the outside world, especially outside the ghost realm.
In addition, the 10,000-year catastrophe is coming, and it is reasonable that some unexplained things will appear.
Originally, these could be blamed on the person who should be robbed, but after seeing Yichen's immortal Yin Soul, Prince Bao gave up this idea.
With Yichen's cultivation strength below the level of a strong warrior, even if he wants to use the soul of the dead to cultivate, he is powerless.
Moreover, the so-called people who should be robbed often regard themselves as upright men and gentlemen, and will definitely not do despicable things.
Thinking of this, Prince Bao frowned again, deeply worried about the upcoming 10,000-year catastrophe.
"Report ...... Jiang Wang Ye and Xue Wang Ye arrived and asked to see Bao Wang Ye. ”
Just when Bao Wang Ye and Jin Dasheng were at a loss, outside the main hall, there was a report from the ghost.
"These two guys, why did they come at this time?"
Without waiting for Lord Bao to speak, Jin Dasheng asked nervously: "Da Lao Hei, did you invite them to come, or ......?"
"No...... I'm afraid it's for the immortal ghost. ”
Bao Wang Ye put the sleeve of his robe and said softly: "Golden-eyed beast, you can be wronged for the time being, and wait for Bao to take a look." ”
Put Jin Dasheng, which is actually Yichen, into the sleeves of his robe, and said loudly to the outside of the hall:
"Please Jiang Wang Ye and Xue Wang Ye!"
"Haha...... Hundreds of years later, Brother Bao has always been good?"
As the air was thick for a while, two figures appeared in the hall, one old and one young, both dressed by the government, similar to Prince Bao.
The old man standing in front of him hugged his fists and greeted Prince Bao with a smile on his face.
"Xue has seen Lord Bao. The one in the back, who looked like a teenager, lowered his body slightly and gave a more respectful salute.
"I don't know that the two princes have arrived, Bao has missed the welcome, forgive the sins. ”
Bao Wang Ye got down from the chair, stretched out his hand to dust off the official mansion, straightened his crown, and greeted the two who came in.
"It's easy to say, between our colleagues, there's no need to be polite. ”
After everyone sat down, Jiang Wangye smiled at Bao Wangye: "I take the liberty to visit, and I ask Bao Wangye to forgive me." ”
But when Jiang Wangye was talking, Xue Wangye opened his eyes and looked around, as if he was looking for something.
"Haha, just now I said that you are welcome, Jiang Wangye has seen it first. ”
Prince Bao took a full view of Prince Xue's actions, smiled slightly at the moment, and quietly played with Jiang Wangye:
"I don't know if the two of you come to our hall, do you have any advice?"
"I don't dare to advise, but I have something to ask Lord Bao. ”
Jiang Wangye, who was sitting on the chair, glanced at Xue Wangye with his eyes, revealing a look of displeasure.
After Xue Wangye's face turned red, he reacted, and hurriedly sat upright, before Jiang Wangye continued:
"I heard that there is a distinguished guest here from Prince Bao, and he is still immortal, so Jiang specially came to see it. ”
