The Third Heaven had been very calm recently, so calm that it made people flustered.
With the combined efforts of all the large and small clans in the Third Heaven, almost all the humans were sent to the Purple Sun Continent.
Not only did the Demonic Abyss not make any moves, but the middle army also stopped in the middle of the Divine Wind Continent. The other armies also slowly advanced, showing no intention of surrounding the Purple Sun Continent.
Therefore, recently, the Third Layer of Heaven had experienced a rare moment of peace. It was so calm that it made people panic.
The Demon Abyss could have beaten them when they were down, but they didn't advance. This made the human race's hearts pound.
It was the same in the past. The more peaceful the Demonic Abyss was, the more likely it was that something big would happen.
However, the human race only had so many experts left. Only the Purple Sun Continent was left. How could they lose?
At most, they would all die in battle in the Purple Sun Continent.
Only Daoist Tianzui knew that the Demonic Abyss had been searching for an ancient battlefield during this period of time. They had already sent out millions of scouts to the eight continents and six seas.
The human race sent out some scouts. They were all top-level scouts, but there were not many of them. These scouts did not search the ancient battlefield, but only monitored the movements of the Demon Abyss army.
The Demon Abyss did not eliminate these scouts. Firstly, it was difficult to eliminate them. After all, the humans were the local tyrants. Secondly, as long as they did not interfere with their search for the Ancient Battlefield, the Demon Abyss could not be bothered.
The Unfettered Saint Emperor made his move and quietly began to investigate the thirteen ancient battlefields that they had locked onto.
The Unfettered Saint Emperor had the word 'unfettered', which meant that his movement technique was very powerful. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the word 'unfettered'?
Back when the Unfettered Saint Sovereign was still a Great Emperor, he was hunted down by the Demonic Ancestor many times, but he survived every single time. From this, it could be seen how powerful his movement technique was.
It was almost impossible for the scouts of the Demonic Abyss to discover him if he sneaked around, unless the Demonic Ancestor happened to be in the place where the Carefree Saint Emperor passed by.
However, the possibility of that happening was too small. If the Unfettered Saint Emperor felt that something was amiss, he would retreat in advance.
The Unfettered Saint Emperor had been gone for more than half a year. He had successfully explored the six ancient battlefields, but he didn't find anything.
Some of these ancient battlefields were still in the ruins. If the Unfettered Saint Emperor hadn't broken through to the Saint Emperor Realm, he wouldn't have been able to explore them so easily.
There were some mysteries and treasures in these ancient battlefields, but they were definitely not what the Demon Abyss was looking for.
Some of the treasures of the human race were also meaningless to the Demonic Abyss.
There were some strange things in those ancient battlefields, but Unfettered Saint Emperor felt that they were not what the Demon Abyss was looking for.
The Unfettered Saint Emperor continued to search. Regardless of whether there was anything special in these thirteen ancient battlefields, he would still search through them all. If he couldn't find anything, then he would think about it.
At the same time.
The Flying Cloud City was also discussing this matter. Divine Ancestor Tian personally presided over it, and all the Demon Sovereigns were below him.
The Demon Supremacies were all reporting at this moment.
Sacred Ancestor Tian assigned the task to search the entire Third Heaven.
"Divine Ancestor, we have finished searching the 30 territories in the north of the Northern Plains Continent. We found 14 ancient battlefields, but no targets!"
"Divine Ancestor, we have finished searching the 35 territories in the southern part of the Northern Plains Continent. We found nothing."
"Divine Ancestor, the Flying Fire Continent …"
One by one, the Demon Sovereigns reported, but none of them found anything. Divine Ancestor Tian frowned. He looked at Qi Tianyu and asked, "Tianyu, you've been studying for a long time. Have you found anything?"
Divine Ancestor Tian knew very well that it was difficult to find anything by relying on ordinary Demon Abyss scouts. After all, these ordinary Demon Abyss scouts had limited abilities and weren't particularly intelligent. They could only carry out orders mechanically and didn't know how to be flexible.
Therefore, he had Qi Tianyu collect historical materials, analyze them, and make deductions.
Feeling that all the Demon Sovereigns were looking at him, Qi Tianyu revealed a proud expression. He bowed and said, "Divine Ancestor Tian, I have been analyzing all kinds of situations and combining the historical materials I have collected. I have locked onto 35 locations.
I don't have 100% confidence, but I should have 60% confidence. The place you are looking for should be one of them. "
"Oh?"
Divine Ancestor Tian's eyes flashed with a strange light. He nodded and said, "Well done. Since you have locked onto 35 locations, you will be in charge of this matter.
Qian Gang, Qian Jing, and the rest of the younger generation listen to Tianyu's command. Quickly search these 35 locations.
If you can find what we want, you will be rewarded handsomely. "
"Understood!"
Although Qian Gang and the others were not convinced, they didn't dare to disobey Divine Ancestor Tian. The 18 Demon Sovereigns of the younger generation cupped their hands and accepted the order.
Qi Tianyu led the 18 Demon Sovereigns away and assigned them tasks.
After Qi Tianyu and the others left, one of the Demon Sovereigns couldn't help but ask curiously, "Divine Ancestor Tian, what … are we looking for?"
"Yes!"
Another Demon Sovereign couldn't help but ask, "You should at least give us a rough idea of what it is, right?
Middle King Realms are so big. Most importantly, millions of years have passed. Many ancient battlefields have been destroyed. It is too difficult to find something based on the information that there is an underground flame. "
Divine Ancestor Tian hesitated. After five minutes of silence, he said, "We are looking for a key. Once we find this key, we can open a door, and our race can truly soar."
"Key?"
All the Demon Sovereigns were stunned. They knew the key, but the problem was that the middle king realms were so big. There were billions of keys. Who knew which key to look for?
Moreover, the key could be easily destroyed. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was almost impossible.
Qian Dagger said, "Divine Ancestor Tian, can you be more specific?
This is not an ordinary key, right?
Otherwise, it would have been destroyed a long time ago. "
"Key is just an adjective!"
Divine Ancestor Tian explained, "This is naturally not a real key. It is a treasure. As for what this treasure is, we do not know.
However, if this treasure is placed in front of you, you will definitely find it extraordinary.
This thing cannot be destroyed. Even if all the Demon Sovereigns join forces, they will not be able to destroy it.
This thing cannot be refined. If you do not know the trick, you will not be able to move it.
"In addition …"
Divine Ancestor Tian added, "According to the notes left behind by our ancestors, the human race does not know what this thing is used for.
One of our ancestors found this thing, but he did not have time to take it away. He set up a powerful divine formation and activated the killing formation in the ancient battlefields.
Therefore, if I am not wrong, this thing has not been discovered by the human race.
I have gathered many historical records of the human race, but there are no relevant records.
Therefore, we must find this ancient battlefields and find this sacred object.
As for … occupying the middle king realms or not, that is not the main point. Do you understand? "
Everyone understood. Attacking the middle king realms was not the goal. Obtaining that sacred object was the ultimate goal.
Qian Dagger thought about it and asked one last question, "Divine Ancestor Tian, what if that ancient battlefields are in … the Purple Sun Continent?"
If they could not find it in all the continents, they would only be left in the Purple Sun Continent. Right now, all the elites and formidable martial artists of the third heaven were gathered in the Purple Sun Continent.
"Then we will attack and chase them out of the Purple Sun Continent.
If they do not leave, we will kill them all! "
Divine Ancestor Tian's eyes revealed a fierce look. He said in an extremely determined tone, "In order to obtain this sacred object, our race has sacrificed so many seniors. This time, we have suffered heavy casualties. This sacred object must be obtained at all costs. We must obtain this key. We must open that door!"
