"Huh?!"
Sweeping his gaze over the area again, he discovered that some volcanic craters actually had palaces and other buildings atop them.
These palaces were enormous. Compared with those inhabited by humans, they easily stood dozens or even hundreds of zhang tall.
Yet their details were exquisite, with few major flaws.
Even Demon Cultivators dozens or hundreds of zhang tall would never find themselves "stuck" inside.
Liu Yu took another hurried look and saw many Demon Beasts and Demon Cultivators coming and going.
The Demon Cultivators and Demon Beasts seemed accustomed to living in palaces. There was nothing incongruous about the sight.
He found it rather absurd. Recalling what he had just seen, he actually felt that the Demon Race possessed a kind of "civilization."
Without a doubt, here in the Sparkfire Mountain Range, the Fire Phoenix Clan had established a complete, top-down system to rule countless Demon Beasts and Demon Cultivators.
Given the Fire Phoenix Clan's strength, a single command would probably bring ten thousand demons to heel.
With the bodies of Demon Beasts and Demon Cultivators, and the limited dexterity of their claws, building so many exquisite palaces would be difficult.
Then how can these palaces before me be explained?
Did the Fire Phoenix Clan enslave humans to build them?
If so, where are those cultivators or mortals being held?!
Recalling the exquisite palaces, Liu Yu felt numerous conjectures rise in his mind.
But he could find no leads for the moment and had to set the matter aside.
Although the palaces' architectural style differed greatly from those of the Chu Kingdom and Southern Heaven, brimming with an exotic flair, he was certain that the Demon Race would struggle to build them.
Perhaps they could barely manage to construct a handful, but never on such a scale, even
