Divine Demon Ridge

Above the Divine Domain Ancient Star, Zhou Tong, who had returned, looked down upon the entire Divine Domain.

"Now, judging by the time, it's time for the Divine Domain to generate the God-Demon Liquid, which happens once every ten thousand years. This thing will be the most important boost for me to break through to Quasi-Emperor ..." Zhou Tong directly traversed millions of miles to a place in the Divine Domain that has existed since the time of myths and legends— the God-Demon Ridge.

Looking into the distance, one can see a towering Stone Coffin amidst a vast mountain range, resembling a stone mountain standing before one's eyes, exuding an ancient, weathered, and majestic aura.

"The Void Great Emperor's coffin. It seems that Ji Zi was brought here by the Void Great Emperor." Zhou Tong was already very familiar with this coffin. This was the same coffin that he had liberated in the starry sky, which belonged to the Void Great Emperor.

"This place really does have a connection with the Ji Family." Zhou Tong was also somewhat speechless.

In the original story, the once-in-ten-thousand-years Fortune here— the God-Demon Liquid —was obtained by Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue. Now that Ji Haoyue is gone, this place has been occupied by Ji Zi.

Zhou Tong used his Source Technique to observe the mountains and rivers from afar. He saw that the mountain peaks were steaming with purple Purple Qi and bursting with auspicious light in the daytime. Moreover, a mysterious power flowed between these mountains and rivers, sacred and pure, almost like divine power, and shimmering with color.

"What a forbidden Divine Domain!" Zhou Tong carefully deduced using the Source Technique and was immediately amazed.

This is the blood and bones of the All Gods, buried here, forming an extremely terrifying wasteland of life. Every mountain peak is made of flesh and blood, and within this flesh and blood lies the essence of Immortal Essence, which makes people of later generations fascinate.

Then, for some reason, this place eventually formed a Immortal Cellar, which seemed to have transformed into a special life form. The flesh and blood of the All Gods and their burial bones automatically gave rise to the God-Demon Liquid, which would gush out once every ten thousand years.

This liquid is no Immortal Divine Medicine. Although it cannot grant cultivators a Lifetime like the Immortal Divine Medicine, it is far more effective for transforming one's being.

"The time is almost up. However, if I enter here, the Divine Domain will still need someone to preside over it." Zhou Tong pondered for a moment, then sent his Vajra Ring with the Sacred Spirit Stone Token and some treasures out, disguising himself as the presiding over the Divine Domain.

He himself then walked directly towards this "forbidden area".

Within the Divine Domain, there is a correct path leading to the center, a path known only to the gods. Zhou Tong has been a god here for over twenty years, so he naturally knows this path well.

"Boom!!"

Just as Zhou Tong set foot on this land, a vast power suddenly appeared, and the entire mountain range resonated with it, emitting auspicious light. Every mountain peak was like a priceless treasure, roaring and filled with Auspicious Qi energy.

In that instant, Innate Essence surged like water, and all the mountain peaks seemed to come alive, swaying and moving, while the sky was filled with dancing, sacred light.

"Snap!"

All the great mountains here have cracked open, tens of thousands of peaks are rumbling and cracking, and many cracks have appeared on each mountain. From the cracks, you can see drops of crystal-clear liquid sliding down, forming small, bright puddles at the foot of the mountains, many of which have connected together.

You can even see mysterious runes shimmering within these liquids; these are the most primordial runes of the Dao of Runes from the bodies of those who perished here.

"The timing was just right. In fact, the God-Demon Liquid should have already appeared in some places. Ji Zi should have used this God-Demon Liquid to temper her body a long time ago."

Zhou Tong followed the method recorded in the Divine Domain to delve deeper into this place, but the further he went, the more he could feel a terrifying imperial might, and even the surrounding Void the Great underwent some changes.

This is the Void Great Emperor's doing; he is altering the Void the Great arrangement of this place and refining the God-Demon Liquid.

The Void Great Emperor's coffin was brought here for something like the God-Demon Liquid, because his body was already riddled with holes when he killed two Supreme Beings before his death, and he needed the God-Demon Liquid here to repair his body and replenish his essence.

However, as soon as he entered, Zhou Tong immediately felt a terrifying Great Emperor pressure preventing him from moving forward.

"Void Great Emperor, I know you've successfully raised a corpse, stop pretending to be dead. I even helped you out before, freeing you up, and this is how you treat me?" Zhou Tong sneered. After the Vajra Ring advanced and he completely mastered the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, his confidence was stronger than ever before.

Even the Yellow Emperor, who had successfully raised a corpse, dared to confront the Void Great Emperor head-on.

The Yellow Emperor seemed to recognize Zhou Tong as well. As soon as he said this, his imperial aura immediately dissipated, and there were no more obstacles in front of him.

Zhou Tong continued his journey and finally arrived at the depths of this desolate place.

This place boasts beautiful mountains and rivers, pleasant scenery, abundant spiritual energy, and surging heaven and earth essence. It is also surrounded by the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of countless gods and demons, making it an unparalleled holy land for enlightenment. However, no one has ever come here before.

Deep within the God-Demon Ridge lies a cluster of lakes, countless of which are interconnected, like pearls adorning the earth; the lake shores are also home to various divine trees and long vines, shimmering with light and filled with spiritual energy, resembling a fairyland.

Only a coffin not far away was a bit of an eyesore.

"Ji Zi, you really are waiting here for the God-Demon Liquid." Zhou Tong quickly fixed his gaze on Ji Zi, who was standing next to the Void Great Emperor's coffin.

Over the years, Ji Zi's cultivation has increased dramatically, and he is now very close to the Great Saint Realm. He only needs to settle down for a while longer before he can break through to this realm.

He must have gotten a great deal next to his father's coffin.

"I didn't expect you to find it after all!" Ji Zi exclaimed, but she felt no tension. Her father's coffin was right next to her, so she was safe in this place.

"As the God of the Divine Domain, finding someone is a piece of cake for me," Zhou Tong chuckled.

"Just a false god." Ji Zi shook her head.

The true gods of the Divine Domain are beings who have refined the Power of Faith. Once the Power of Faith of the Divine Domain is refined, it is absolutely impossible for them to get close to the coffin of the Void Great Emperor.

The Emperor Sha will burn all cultivators who possess this Power of Faith to ashes.

"Whether you are a true god or a false god, it doesn't matter anymore. I'm just a little disappointed. I thought that after your battle with me, you would completely sever the origin of the Void the Great, surpass your father, and forge your own path, but I didn't expect that you still couldn't give it up in the end..." Zhou Tong shook his head.

"..." Ji Zi fell silent; he was never a talkative person to begin with.

"You were defeated by me long ago. The only reason you're unwilling to relinquish the Void the Great Origin is probably your cultivation speed," Zhou Tong continued. "You probably know something, like the darkness a hundred years from now..."

"You knew about this too?" Ji Zi exclaimed in surprise.

The fact that they mentioned darkness, especially specifying the timeframe to over a hundred years ago, undoubtedly indicates they know the truth about the Forbidden Zone and the Path to Immortality that occurred over a hundred years later.

Even he only learned about this after finding some notes left by his father before embarking on the Ancient Starry Road.

Why wouldn't I know?

Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Ji Zi, then shook his head and said, "It's a pity you were born five hundred years too late. If you had been born five hundred years earlier, perhaps you could have continued your father's glory. But now, you are too weak. Whether you give up the Void the Great Origin or not will be useless in a hundred years."

"You're the same!" Ji Zi rarely spoke up and retorted.

"I'm not like you." Zhou Tong smiled slightly and released a little of his aura.

"You!!" Ji Zi was furious, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.

That supreme aura, even a single wisp, was enough to make him tremble all over, unable to muster the slightest will to fight against it.

As the daughter of the Void Great Emperor, Ji Zi knew very well that this was definitely imperial aura!
