Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 588: Unexpected Discovery

“Eh?!”

After sweeping his gaze again, Liu Yu discovered that some of the volcano craters actually had palaces and other buildings.

These palaces were incredibly massive, towering dozens to hundreds of zhang high compared to the palaces inhabited by the Human Race.

In terms of details, they were exquisitely crafted, with very few significant flaws.

Even if dozens or hundreds of zhang of demonic cultivators resided within, they would never feel "stuck."

Liu Yu hurriedly scanned again, noticing many demonic beasts and cultivators coming and going.

Residing in the palaces seemed to be second nature for the demonic cultivators and beasts, as there was no sense of disharmony whatsoever.

He found it somewhat absurd, recalling the previous scene, and oddly felt that the demonic race had some semblance of "civilization."

Undoubtedly, in the Starfire Mountain Range, the Fire Phoenix Clan had established a robust hierarchical system from top to bottom, ruling over countless demonic beasts and cultivators.

Given the strength of the Fire Phoenix Clan, one could fear that at the slightest command, thousands of demons would obey.

“With the bodies of demonic beasts and cultivators, limited by the dexterity of their claws and fangs, it’s difficult to construct such exquisite palaces.”

“So how should the palaces in front of me be explained?”

“Could it be that the Fire Phoenix Clan enslaved humans to build them?”

“If so, where are the cultivators or mortals imprisoned?!”

Recalling the exquisite palaces, numerous speculations rose in Liu Yu's heart.

But for the moment, he could not think of anything conclusive and had to set it aside for now.

Although the architectural style of the palaces differed vastly from that of the Chu State and Tian Nan, filled with exotic flair, he dared to assert that the demonic race would certainly struggle to construct them.

Perhaps they could barely manage to build a few, but it would be impossible to do so on a larger scale or even accommodate some second-stage demonic beasts.

For the sharp claws and fangs of demonic beasts, most stones and woods were as fragile as paper, breaking upon contact.

Moreover, given the ignorance of low-level demonic beasts, it would be hard for them to suppress their instincts and learn such “complex” behavior.

Let alone in construction, carving exquisite patterns would be out of the question.

As for third-stage demonic cultivators, they could achieve the above points, but it was unlikely they would be willing to get their hands dirty, especially to serve low-level demonic beasts.

Compared to the Human Race, the demonic race's rules were more blatant, following the bloody law of the jungle; how could demonic cultivators be willing to serve demonic beasts?

It was precisely based on these points that Liu Yu dared to conclude.

The thought of the possible existence of cultivators or mortals from the Central Domain made ripples stir in his heart lake, and his emotions grew somewhat excited.

At this moment, Liu Yu desperately wanted to find someone from the Central Domain to perform the "Shattered Spirit Soul Searching Technique" and obtain crucial information.

Over the years, he had suffered too much due to the lack of information!

With this in mind, a brilliant blue spiritual light surged in Liu Yu's eyes as he repeatedly scanned the Starfire Mountain Range, hoping to find the figure of a cultivator, even if it were a mere mortal.

But reality often disappointed; despite taking risks and scanning repeatedly, he found no trace of humanity.

“What a pity.”

After fruitless searching, Liu Yu muttered to himself, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes as the brilliant blue light gradually faded.

Since the hope of relying on soul searching for breakthrough progress had fallen flat, and he had already scouted this place adequately, there was no need to linger any longer.

With the "Wall of Spiritual Consciousness" surrounding him, he subtly urged his dantian magical power and soared into the sky, flying towards another direction quietly.
