Immortality: My cultivation Has No Bottleneck

Chapter 706: Chapter 256: Zhou Shen Explores the Demon Ancestor Secret Land, Heavenly Secrets of Killing Revealed (Seeking Monthly Pass!!!) _2

As for the chaos in the Surface World of the Beast Swamp, it doesn’t bother Liang Sheng, as these are mere trivial details he doesn’t need to worry about.

The top priority right now is to get Zhou Shen to enter the Demon Ancestor Secret Land. If the scene continues to unfold according to the Law of Cause and Effect, there might be some unexpected surprises ahead.

Of course, with every surprise comes a price. But after weighing the benefits and drawbacks, Liang Sheng still decides to let Zhou Shen have a try.

Does the Sky Covering Sect, which is the pursuit of the truth, have any other secrets?

All of this depends on what secrets Zhou Shen can uncover with his Sky Covering Sect’s bloodline ability in the Desolate Regions.

…

The teahouse.

Zhou Shen sips his tea leisurely on the surface, but inside, he is on full alert, carefully observing the moves around him. Fortunately, no unusual events occur even after a long while.

The Herbal Medicine Hall is bustling with people. Whether human or demon, everyone seems to be in high demand for the herbs.

Either for pill refining or for medical treatment – in any case, the supplies are scarce.

Neither the shopkeeper nor the assistant have exhibited any abnormal behavior, which solidifies Zhou Shen’s determination to proceed.

As the fluorescent light of the Underground World dims, Zhou Shen has already hidden himself in the backyard of the Herbal Medicine Hall. He sneakily scouts around without alerting anyone.

However, his exploration turns out ordinary until he reaches the backyard and sees the locust tree.

Who would plant a locust tree in their backyard?

If such a thing happened in the human world, the owner would be scolded relentlessly. As Zhou Shen approaches the locust tree, the Auspicious Ability to Avoid Evil fills his heart with a great fortune omen.

It’s almost borderline madness.

It’s as if this locust tree is some divine opportunity for Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen cautiously reaches out to touch the giant locust tree. Before he can figure anything out, he suddenly vanishes.

Elsewhere, Hu Fei and others instinctively turn their heads towards Huang Feng with peculiar expressions. Huang Feng quickly explains with a dry laugh.

“I was just fed up with this human dilly-dallying about. Since we’ve decided to let him enter the Demon Ancestor Secret Land, why not speed it up a bit?”

No one contests his words because it doesn’t matter what happens in-between. As long as the outcome is in their favor, it’s all good.

Given that this human has already noticed the locust tree, even if they don’t intervene, his entrance to the secret land would just be a matter of time.

With this in mind, all the demonic ancestors silently appear and follow Zhou Shen into the Demon Ancestor Secret Land.

They wish to see what makes this human so special that the fate of the Demon Clan relies on his intervention.

No matter the result, there’s a tinge of disgruntlement in their hearts. They can only hope the final outcome will be favorable.

…

The Demon Ancestor Secret Land.

Zhou Shen is suddenly teleported into a new space, causing a ripple of anxiety in his heart. However, he doesn’t panic excessively, thanks to the omen of great fortune flooding his heart!

Moreover, this feeling strengthens as he steps further into the secret land. Once he stabilizes his emotions, he proceeds down the path.

After an indeterminate amount of time, he sees the coffin-shaped secret land that had previously puzzled Liang Sheng. He pauses, catching his breath.

The Auspicious Ability to Avoid Evil has led him here.

On seeing this, the demonic ancestors hidden in the dark cannot help but clench their fists. This is the final chamber in the Demon Ancestor Secret Land.

Besides them, Liang Sheng also follows suit. His gaze is fixed on Zhou Shen, curious about what moves Zhou Shen will make next.

Zhou Shen, at this moment, takes a deep breath. With determination in his heart, he dives headfirst into the coffin chamber without any hesitation.

After waiting a bit to make sure they won’t run into Zhou Shen, the demonic ancestors enter one by one. The last to enter is Liang Sheng, quietly trailing behind everyone.

As for Zhou Shen, who has ventured into the final secret land, he is completely awestruck. As he gazes at the mural on the wall, he feels dizzy.

This is the history of the Demon Clan.

The rise of the human race occupies a large portion of it. However, some parts of the mural seem to have been deliberately scraped off, creating a gap in the history.

Regardless, this doesn’t lessen Zhou Shen’s admiration. Our human ancestors were indeed fearless, thus leading to the thriving times we live in now.

As the mural extends, Zhou Shen takes a deep breath when he reaches the last part of it. Then he sees the last stone coffin.

Beneath it is the Ancient Spring Water.

Just then, a drop of spring water drips from the top of the coffin.

Zhou Shen’s eyes get a bit fuzzy as he unintentionally walks to the front of the coffin and slowly reaches out to touch the edge of the stone coffin.

The demonic ancestors hiding behind him clutch their throats in fear.

After they exit the coffin secret land, they lose all memories of this place. But once they re-enter, the memories wake-up again.

Watching this human disrespectfully touching the coffin compels them to drive him out of the secret land immediately.

However, with things going as they were, he wouldn’t possibly stop midway. So, they suppress their emotions and wait quietly.

Liang Sheng is also watching in the dark, with his eyes shining brighter and brighter.

He feels like he’s one step closer to the truth with the key held in Zhou Shen’s hands. Since his breakthrough in Refining the God and Reversing the Void, he doesn’t experience the terror he used to.

At least he doesn’t fear for his life as he did before. The stronger his power, fewer situations would cause him to feel threatened.

While everyone’s mood is complex, Zhou Shen finally puts his hand on the stone coffin. However, there’s neither an earth-shaking response nor any reaction.
