Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 281 Full of Harvests
After successfully dealing with several big monsters on the Heavenly Road, Jiang Yue's sharp eagle-like eyes slowly turned to the monsters staying on the outer layer of the Immortal God Ruins.

These demons are either hideous in appearance, with strange black air surrounding them, or huge in size, emitting a terrifying murderous aura.

Although they are not as powerful as the great demons in Tianlu, these demons are not weak either.

They run rampant in the outer layer of the Immortal God Ruins. Wherever they go, the space seems to be distorted and there are signs of collapse, which brings a lot of threats to this ancient and mysterious area.

In an instant, Jiang Yue's body was surrounded by a flash of light, and his figure seemed to merge into the void. With the help of the power of space he had just mastered, he flowed everywhere like an invisible lightning.

Under his control, the force of space became extremely agile, as if it were a part of his body. Every time he traveled through it, it caused ripples to appear in the surrounding space. Wherever the ripples passed, time and space seemed to undergo subtle changes.

Often, after just one encounter, Jiang Yue would appear in front of the demon like a ghost.

There was a cold and resolute look in his eyes, and a shining sword had appeared in his hand. As he swung it, brilliant streaks of light and shadows appeared. Every time a streak of light and shadow passed by, it was accompanied by a shrill scream.

Before those demons could put up any effective resistance, they were all killed by Jiang Yue.

Soon, with the fall of the last demon, another thousand years passed!
Adding what he had gained before, Jiang Yue now has four thousand years of time in his hands.

"The corpses of these demons can be left in the Immortal God Ruins."

Jiang Yue glanced at the demon corpses lying on the ground, thinking secretly in his heart, muttering to himself:

"I can use the power of time that I control to focus it in one place and attach it to these corpses. This way, I don't have to worry about them decaying, and they can be put to great use later."

Jiang Yue raised his head slightly, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"This trip to the Immortal God Ruins was extremely fruitful. Not only did we successfully deal with several big monsters in the Heavenly Road, but we also killed many monsters in the outer layer of the Immortal God Ruins, accumulating power for thousands of years. Now, next... it's time to return to the human world."

Jiang Yue knew very well that the outside world was paying great attention to the trip to Xianshenxu.

The strong men from all the forces were all looking forward to what news the people who entered the Xianshenxu would bring back. If he did not show up again, it would definitely arouse a lot of suspicion and might even cause unnecessary trouble.

Especially the royal family of the Great Zhou, who were even more concerned about this secret.

As for why he came out later than others, Jiang Yue already had a plan in mind, and it was not difficult to explain.

You just need to attribute all the reasons to the experiences after you have walked the heavenly road. Anyway, no one else has such an experience.

People are full of awe and curiosity about the unknown beyond the Heavenly Road, so no one would doubt such a statement.

Jiang Yue's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he thought, "When the time comes, I will throw out some of the images I saw in the Immortal God Ruins, which should be enough to explain what I have gained this time."

"However, there is one thing that we must pay extreme attention to. The fact that we have taken control of the Immortal God Ruins must not be exposed."

Once this secret is leaked, the whole world will be shocked, and various forces will try to seize control of the Xianshenxu by any means necessary. By then, he will be in endless trouble.

Jiang Yue knew that with his current strength, he was not strong enough to possess such a precious treasure.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

.........

"You all have returned safely, which is a blessing for our Great Zhou!"

Inside the fortress, the Sky Patrolling General Zhao Jinghuan, wearing armor, stood tall in front of everyone.

His face was filled with joy, his voice was loud and passionate, and his words seemed to carry endless power, echoing in the barrier.

"If I can get out of the mire today, I will become a dragon one day!"

There was a gleam of anticipation in Zhao Jinghuan's eyes, and he looked at the warriors who had returned from the Immortal God Ruins with encouragement.

In his opinion, these people who were able to return safely after going through numerous hardships in the Ruins of Immortals and Gods are all precious assets of the Great Zhou and will surely make extraordinary contributions to the prosperity of the Great Zhou in the future.

Zhao Jinghuan's gaze was like a sharp sword, slowly sweeping through the group of returnees.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly froze and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

He originally estimated that the number of people who would return this time would not be too many, after all, the Immortal God Ruins has always been a dangerous place where one could survive a life-threatening situation. However, the scene before him was far beyond his expectations, as there were as many as thirty people who returned this time!
These thirty people stood together, some looked tired but excited, while others had firm eyes that revealed confidence.

They all had more or less traces of battle, torn clothes, and unhealed wounds, but this did not diminish their heroic spirit.

Zhao Jinghuan's eyes shuttled through the crowd, and among them, there were several figures that made him feel very familiar. Seeing these people, he nodded slightly, thinking secretly in his heart, as expected.

All of them are the best among the younger generation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They have demonstrated extraordinary talent and strength on a daily basis. It seems reasonable that they were able to return safely from the Immortal God Ruins this time.

What a pity... Zhao Jinghuan's gaze slowly swept through the crowd again, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed across his eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh.

After all, things in this world are unpredictable.

Before setting out to explore the Ruins of Immortal Gods, the entire Great Zhou had placed high hopes on this operation, especially the genius of the Sky Patrol Department - Jiang Yue.

He was extremely talented and had made his mark in the Sky Patrol. At a young age, he had mastered many amazing killing methods, and both his strength and wisdom were far beyond his peers.

However, at this moment, Zhao Jinghuan looked at the returning team and felt a sense of loss in his heart. The genius of the Sky Patrol who was highly expected was not among them.

"After all, the time left for him is too short."

Zhao Jinghuan sighed silently in his heart. Although his face remained calm, his eyes revealed a trace of regret. "If it was three years later, with his talent and hard work, he would definitely shine in the Immortal God Ruins. Maybe the situation would be different..."

Jiang Yue's disappearance meant that the Great Zhou had lost a powerful person with great potential. But Zhao Jinghuan knew that as a general patrolling the sky, he could not show such emotions.

It was common for geniuses to fall. He could not let his emotions affect others, let alone the morale of the Great Zhou.

So, Zhao Jinghuan took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mood, and once again showed a dignified and confident smile on his face. He continued to welcome the returning warriors, as if the trace of loss just now had never appeared.

"Since you have returned, please rest in this fortress for a while. After three days, follow me back to the capital to meet the emperor."

Zhao Jinghuan's armor rustled as it rustled, and although he looked a little tired, he still couldn't hide his heroic spirit.

He walked slowly to the front of the crowd and spoke in a powerful and steady voice. At the same time, he raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to settle down here first.

This sky-patrolling fortress is like a towering city with extremely spacious space. The tall and thick walls are built of a strange mineral. Under the sunlight, it has an ancient and mysterious luster and is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

There are naturally far-reaching considerations behind making such an arrangement. First, the matter involved in everyone's return this time involves important secrets.

The defense of this sky-patrolling barrier is as solid as a rock, with layers of exquisite prohibitions and magic arrays. It is difficult for ordinary people to spy on it, and even a peeper with high cultivation will be keenly noticed once he gets close. What happens here will never be leaked to outsiders.

Secondly, many of them looked flustered and unsteady when they returned, obviously having experienced a thrilling adventure and still feeling horrified. Only by letting them rest and recuperate here, recovering their physical and mental strength, can they tell us everything they have seen and heard along the way without omission, thus providing a key basis for subsequent decision-making.

We can't start questioning them as soon as they return. After all, these people have made contributions.

"Everyone, please take a rest. You have all worked hard on this journey. I need to report the details of this mission to the Governor immediately. I cannot delay for a moment. I will take my leave first."

Zhao Jinghuan looked solemn, and his tone was calm but anxious. He clasped his hands together and bowed solemnly to everyone in the room.

After saying this, he turned around and walked hurriedly, causing a slight gust of wind.

The heavy soles of the boots made a dull and powerful sound as they stepped on the stone floor, and the rhythm was as tight as the rapid beats of drums.

His back was firm and resolute, and he walked out of the room without looking back, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

"I'm finally back in this fortress. No need to worry anymore..."

"The Immortal God Ruins is indeed as famous as it is said to be. It is a dangerous place where one can survive a near-fatal accident! If it weren't for my extremely good luck, I would have died there this time."

"Speaking of which... why did it end early this time? I thought I was going to die at the hands of the demon, but I didn't expect to be teleported directly to the outside world."

"It's indeed strange, but this is also a happy event. If not, the number of casualties would be much higher than this."

Some people are happy, some are upset, and many emotions are constantly colliding.

They were thankful for surviving the disaster, but regretful for not obtaining more resources. But overall, it was obvious that most people felt the trip was worthwhile.

But among the crowd, a few people were clearly feeling a little disappointed.

"With his strength, he couldn't even get out of the Heavenly Road?"

Wang Qiwu's voice was hoarse and trembling with disbelief.

At this moment, his tattered battle robe seemed to have been weathered by wind and frost. The blood on the robe had long since dried up, revealing a glaring dark color under the light.

He was covered in blood, with many wounds still oozing blood. It was obvious that he had just escaped from a brutal battle. But at this moment, the shock and surprise in his heart had made him forget the pain all over his body.

"How is it possible?!" He repeated it again, his eyes wide open, full of panic and confusion. Wang Qiwu's body shook, as if he was hit hard by this news, and he staggered and almost lost his balance.

He was extremely anxious, and almost subconsciously, he looked at Miao Xingyu and Li Yiyun not far away.

There was a desperate and urgent desire for knowledge in his eyes, as if these two people could immediately give him a reasonable answer and save him from his chaotic thoughts.

"I do not know either."

Miao Xingyu's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice was as light as a wisp of silk in the wind.

His eyes were wandering, and he was obviously still immersed in great shock and could not recover from this unbelievable news.

"Obviously..."

Miao Xingyu wanted to say something but stopped himself, as if something was choking his throat and he swallowed hard.

He subconsciously glanced at the people around him, and his already pale face instantly turned even more bloodless. He felt a sudden shock in his heart, as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.

He has clearly walked the road to heaven!

He didn't say this directly, but at this moment he couldn't help but think, after the Heavenly Road...

Could it be that there is some great terror hidden?!

Otherwise, how could that figure not be on the list!

Seeing Wang Qiwu and Miao Xingyu's frightened and distraught looks, Li Yiyun frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

She opened her red lips slightly, lowered her voice to a very low level, and said in a voice transmission method that only the three of them could hear: "Be patient, Inspector Jiang may not be dead."

Her voice was gentle but had a soothing power, like a spring breeze, trying to blow away the haze in everyone's hearts.

"Maybe..." Li Yiyun paused for a moment, thinking about various possibilities in his mind, "Maybe he is just trapped temporarily. The Heavenly Road is full of dangers and dangers, and it may be the same after he passes through it."

As she spoke, she shook her head gently, trying to dispel the bad feeling in her heart.

"Or maybe he got some chance." She continued, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "After all, no one knows what happens after the Heavenly Road. It is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is said that it hides countless ancient secrets and opportunities."

Inspector Jiang was blessed with great fortune, and he might have gotten some great opportunity in there, which is why he was delayed in coming out."

Although the two felt that this explanation was not good, they could only agree with it.

"Good things happen to good people, Brother Jiang should be fine."

"How could someone who can walk the heavenly road die so easily!"

…………

In the ruins of immortals and gods.

After dealing with the last demon corpse, Jiang Yue clapped his hands, very satisfied.

Under his command, more than a dozen big monsters have been dismembered and divided, and their fur, blood, and internal organs have all been processed in different ways.

Coupled with the power of time possessed in the Immortal God Ruins, there is no need to worry about its decay at any time.

"Refining materials such as scales and fur can be stored for future use."

"The demon's blood can be used to make elixirs and formations, and to refine decrees. Its fur can be used to forge armor... I'm in need of a good set of armor, so I should consider getting one."

"As for the flesh and blood..."

"It can be dealt with right now."

Jiang Yue's mind moved, and he summoned the divine seal.

Having obtained so much flesh and blood of demons, plus thousands of years of time, if he doesn't improve his strength now, when will he?
"Divine Seal, deduce it for me!"
