Chapter 1 Ancient Supreme Hall

The ancient Supreme Hall.

It was shrouded in darkness, filled with many strange and eerie things.

After the ancient Supreme Hall was destroyed, a sea of blood raged, countless wronged souls roamed, attracting countless demonic beasts and bizarre entities.

Lu Changsheng was exiled here by the Supreme Buddha Mother; he avoided all the strange and eerie things.

However, Jiang Chen and the Zimen Daoist were different; they fought their way in directly from the outside.

Therefore, they encountered many troubles, but Jiang Chen did not complain at all.

Because in his eyes, he would soon obtain the Supreme Ancient Talisman, and even subdue all the peerless fierce beasts within the Demon Lock Palace.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel excited. He knew very well just how terrifying those peerless fierce creatures were. If they could be used for his own purposes, it would be endlessly delightful.

Just then, Jiang Chen and the Zimen Daoist had arrived outside the Demon Lock Palace.

But as the two arrived outside the Demon Lock Palace, the Zimen Daoist's expression changed involuntarily.

"Young Master, look quickly."

The Zimen Daoist pointed at the Demon Lock Palace, his expression not very good.

In an instant, Jiang Chen's gaze followed where the Zimen Daoist was pointing.

Soon, Jiang Chen's expression also changed involuntarily.

Because at this moment, the Demon Lock Palace had been opened.

"This is impossible. The Demon Lock Palace cannot be opened. It has the Supreme Talisman Paper on it. No one but me can open this."

Jiang Chen said this, very confident, because he was the Son of Destiny, and all glory should be created by him.

So he didn't believe everything that was happening before him.

But the gate of the Demon Lock Palace was indeed open, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"The Demon Lock Palace shouldn't be open. Perhaps these fierce beasts want to trick us into going inside."

Just then, the Zimen Daoist spoke, his mind meticulous, immediately thinking that these fierce beasts wanted to deceive them into going inside.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then thought for a moment, and then said.

"That's right, the Demon Lock Palace couldn't possibly be open. The only explanation is that these fierce beasts want to trick us inside. These fierce beasts are all cunning old foxes; Senior Zimen is truly meticulous!"

Jiang Chen spoke, directly believing the Zimen Daoist's guess.

Because he knew that these fierce beasts were all cunning and sly, trapped here, their lifespans were limited, either they devoured each other, or they could only devour others.

Now, opening the gate, allowing unsuspecting cultivators to step into this gate, only to be directly devoured by them.

Only this could explain everything.

"The Demon Lock Palace has the Supreme Talisman Paper on it; they can open the gate, but they can't come out. And Senior Zimen, have you noticed, the surrounding area is filled with a monstrous fierce aura."

Jiang Chen looked at the Demon Lock Palace, asking this.

Hearing this, the Zimen Daoist nodded. He had indeed noticed this unusual, monstrously fierce aura.

Thinking of this, he was even more certain that his guess was correct.

"What should we do, Young Master?"

The Zimen Daoist asked.

Jiang Chen glanced at the Demon Lock Palace, pondered for a moment, and then muttered to himself.

"This group of fierce beasts is detained within the Demon Lock Palace; they must want to come out more than anyone else, but they disdain cooperating with ordinary cultivators, so they want to lure these cultivators into the Demon Lock Palace."

"But I am different. I am the Son of Destiny. Perhaps they are willing to cooperate with me."

Jiang Chen said this, very clear on just how much these peerless fierce beasts wanted to leave the Demon Lock Palace.

The reason he knew this was because a cultivator claiming to be from the ancient Supreme Hall had sought him out, telling him many things, so he understood.

Since he knew what this group of fierce beasts wanted, then there was a way.

Soon, Jiang Chen took a step forward, his gaze fixed on the Demon Lock Palace, then slowly spoke.

"Everyone, I know you are inside. I am the Son of Destiny, the inheritor of the ancient Supreme Hall. I know you hate the ancient Supreme Hall very much, but now that so many years have passed, the hatred in your hearts, I think, has long since dissipated, right?"

"I am willing to cooperate with you. As long as you help me, become my subordinates, when I rule the world, I will never forget your kindness."

"And, I can release you now, how about it?"

Jiang Chen spoke at length, but his tone was very peaceful.

He didn't want to anger this group of fierce beasts; he only hoped to have a good talk with them.

Because he really needed a force to support him right now. The old guard of the ancient Supreme Hall were still nowhere to be found; even if he obtained the Supreme Ancient Talisman, he would still need to find those old guards.

However, subduing this group of peerless fierce beasts would be a great thing for the moment.

However, no sound came from within the Demon Lock Palace; everything seemed extremely quiet.

This made Jiang Chen frown involuntarily.

The Zimen Daoist stood aside without saying anything, waiting for their response.

A full incense stick of time later, the Demon Lock Palace was completely silent, without a single sound.

At this moment, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed.

To be honest, he was the Son of Destiny, who would rule the Great Thousand Worlds, the myriad realms, and surpass proving the Dao in the future.

Now, wanting to ask them for help, but they didn't even respond, how could he not be angry?

But Jiang Chen still endured this anger. He was very clear that he really needed their help now.

Thinking this through, Jiang Chen continued to speak.

"Everyone, you don't need to hide anymore. I know you are all inside. Although your methods are extremely heaven-defying, hiding all of your auras, you can't escape my eyes. I have already seen you."

Jiang Chen said this, naturally not seeing this group of fierce beasts, merely trying to trick them.

Of course, more importantly, he believed that this group of fierce beasts must be in the Demon Lock Palace, because apart from him, it was almost impossible for anyone in this world to remove that ancient talisman.

But what frustrated Jiang Chen was that this group of fierce beasts just wouldn't come out, no matter what.

"People from the ancient Supreme Hall have already sought me out. The reason I know you are trapped inside is because they told me. The talisman paper on the Demon Lock Palace is the supreme six-syllable mantra of Buddhism; every three thousand years, it will forcibly convert you."

"I believe you don't want to try the taste of this conversion again. If you sincerely cooperate, everything is easy to discuss. I will only give you one shichen (two hours) of time; think about it carefully yourselves."

Since the other party wouldn't appear, Jiang Chen had no other choice. He would only give them one shichen of time. If the other party still ignored him, he would turn around and leave.

Time passed little by little; Jiang Chen was very confident. He believed these fierce beasts were all smart.

But unfortunately, one shichen had passed, and the other party still hadn't responded to him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen was indeed angry.

He took a step forward, speaking with utmost seriousness.

"I will give you another shichen of time; this is really the last shichen. Jiang Chen keeps his word."
