"I see………"

After hearing Jialuo's answer, Jiang Che finally understood.

No wonder when facing that army of demonic beasts, Jiang Che felt that these demonic beasts were too organized, even their arrangement and positioning were quite particular, which was completely different from the demonic beasts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Jiang Che was initially a little confused, but now he understood everything.

So all these monsters really did receive formal training?

We have learned countless lessons from the human race!

If this were in the Heluo region, such a thing would naturally be impossible.

The Heluo region had only one superpower, the Tang Dynasty, guarded by an unparalleled and elegant empress, who single-handedly governed the entire nation.

Although the monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains had deep-seated grudges with the people of the Tang Dynasty, they would not dare to launch any large-scale invasion against the Tang Dynasty even if they had ten thousand times the courage.

In the morning, a horde of demonic beasts will launch an invasion; in the afternoon, Sikong Zhen will lead the Thunder Army to raze the entire Ten Thousand Mountains to the ground.

As long as the most terrifying ninth-tier demonic beast in the Hundred Thousand Mountains doesn't make a move, the Empress naturally won't need to take action herself.

The demonic beasts dared not launch a large-scale invasion of Chang'an, but they often caused trouble in groups of three or five on the border. Human cultivators also frequently entered the outer areas of the Ten Thousand Mountains to hunt demonic beasts. There were frictions between them, but no large-scale war ever broke out on the front.

So over the years, a strange balance has emerged between the humans and the demons in the Heluo region.

The situation in the Cloud Desert is completely different, the exact opposite.

The Cloud Desert is a vast and boundless land, with continuous mountain ranges. Its territory is even larger than that of the Heluo region, yet it lacks a superpower capable of dominating it.

Various dynasties and powerful families stood side by side, along with countless sects, each ruling its own territory. They were constantly at war with each other, and their grudges ran deep.

There are no powerful cultivators on the surface who can deter these demonic beasts, which is why the demonic beasts living in the Cloud Desert dare to invade the various kingdoms of the Cloud Desert with impunity.

At this point, the importance of unification becomes apparent.

If someone were destined to ascend to the throne and rule over half of the Yunzhong Desert, uniting the nation's strength to conquer and resist, these demonic beasts would not dare to be so rampant.

The various dynasties and kingdoms of the Cloud Desert have deep-seated grudges with the demonic beasts, and are destined to suffer from the invasion of hordes of demonic beasts for a long time.

There are only two ways to solve this problem: either these dynasties unite, band together, and jointly resist the monsters.

Either slaughter all the monsters in the Cloud Desert to eliminate any future troubles.

Currently, neither of these two methods seems feasible; this issue itself is an unsolvable problem.

After all, these dynasties had their own grudges and each wanted to occupy the other's territory, so how could they possibly form an alliance?

Even if an alliance were to be formed, it could crumble in an instant if deliberately provoked by someone with ulterior motives.

As for slaughtering all the monsters in the Cloud Desert to eliminate future troubles?

That's even more impossible!

If any dynasty or family in the Cloud Desert had such capabilities, they would have already ruled over half of the Cloud Desert, so why would they be so overwhelmed by the monster problem?

Of course, if some powerful cultivator were to step forward, these demonic beasts wouldn't be so unrestrained.

However, at present, this probability is also very slim.

"But now the entire Hundred Beasts Mountain Range has been razed to the ground..."

"It won't be an easy task for the young lady to find the lost Thousand Caves Book..."

After surveying his surroundings, Jiang Che frowned and spoke with a somewhat strange expression.

Under the earth-shattering power of that world-destroying palm strike, all the peaks within a radius of 100,000 miles of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range were reduced to nothingness.

Yellow sand filled the sky, and everywhere there were ruins, withered trees and broken stones. The ground was covered with countless corpses of monsters.

Blood flowed freely, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, staining the entire sky red. The air was filled with a pungent, nauseating stench of blood, making one feel as if they were in the deepest hell.

The appearance of demonic beasts is already terrifying and ferocious, coupled with all sorts of gruesome deaths. Even the most resolute and composed cultivators would probably feel their scalp tingle upon seeing them, and those with weak mental fortitude would feel nauseous.

After surveying the desolate scene around him, Jiang Che frowned slightly, quickly averted his gaze, and shut down his five senses.

He considered himself someone who had seen many grand occasions, but seeing such a desolate and bleak scene still made him feel somewhat disgusted.

"Amitabha Buddha, may the Buddha have mercy, I am truly sorry, I have committed such a sin..."

Jiang Che silently recited a few words and chanted the Diamond Heart Sutra, which suppressed the feeling of palpitation, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.

These monsters all ate humans and committed heinous crimes. But I, with a compassionate heart, sent them to the Western Paradise to meet the Buddha.

Let them repent before the Buddha and cleanse themselves of their sins.

If there were truly any Buddhas or Bodhisattvas in this world, upon learning of my good deeds, they would surely praise me, wouldn't they?

"That's true..."

"But I won't give up easily!"

Jialuo frowned slightly, her delicate and fair face wrinkled, as if she was not used to the terrifying scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood before her, which resembled a hellish landscape, and she also shut down her five senses and six consciousnesses.

Although she had hunted countless demonic beasts before, none of them were as numerous as Jiang Che's.

Although the scene before her made her feel nauseous, Galo forced herself to accept it.

The lost books from the Thousand Caves have not yet been found, so she was naturally unwilling to leave and wanted to continue trying her luck.

Otherwise, wouldn't all the efforts of these past few days have been wasted?

With this thought in mind, Jialuo looked at Jiang Che beside her, pursed her red lips, and asked leisurely.

"Young master, this humble woman intends to continue searching for the lost Thousand Caves Book within the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range..."

"What are your plans, young master?"

After an hour of recovery, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, her depleted magical power slowly returned.

Although he hasn't fully recovered to his peak condition from his victorious days, Jiang Che has slaughtered almost all the demonic beasts in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, so they no longer pose much of a threat.

Therefore, Galo was already eager to set off to find the lost Thousand Caves Books.

"I'll go with you. I can collect monster cores along the way..."

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Che slowly spoke.

Jiang Che was naturally overjoyed to have the opportunity to spend time alone with a beautiful and mature woman like Jialuo.

Although he had just hunted down countless demonic beasts, he had not yet had time to collect the crystal cores from most of them.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting cultivation resources, Jiang Che naturally wouldn't miss out, since these crystal cores were still very useful, whether for alchemy or weapon forging, they were an excellent choice.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Jiang..."

Galo naturally wouldn't refuse, nodding in agreement, her lips slightly upturned, a bright smile appearing on her pretty face, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

Having a powerful cultivator like Jiang Che accompany her in her search for books was something Galo was naturally eager for, giving her a great sense of security.

As she looked at the man in front of her, Galo's eyes softened unconsciously, her heart stirred with ripples of emotion, and she was filled with many feelings.

Previously, Jialuo couldn't quite understand the mindset of those little women, and didn't understand why they would choose to depend on a powerful man, or even be completely obedient to him.

Now, Galo understands this idea a little better. If you could have a broad shoulder to lean on, and your heart had a harbor, the feeling of being surrounded by a strong sense of security would be very happy, right?

Having made his decision, Jiang Che didn't hesitate any longer. He channeled the power of his nascent soul and casually waved his hand.

In an instant, towering flames burst forth in the void, quickly incinerating the densely packed, mountain-like corpses of demonic beasts piled up on the ground.

Flames scorched the monster's corpse, crackling and popping as they rose into the sky, emitting wisps of white smoke.

After doing all this, Jiang Che ignored the monster corpses and followed Jialuo towards the ruins of the Silver Winged Demon Eagle's cave in the distance.

According to Galo, she was guided to come to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range from the Great Wall, where she was lured deep by the Silver Winged Demon Eagle, which is why she set foot in this area.

Although the Silverwing Demon Eagle's cave has now been completely reduced to ruins, and everything is buried under dust and sand, if you are lucky, you might still be able to find one or two books left behind in the Outer Thousand Caves.

...........................................

134: Galo's extreme contrast! A mysterious reward?

After traveling for half an hour and searching around the ruins of the Silverwing Demon Eagle's cave, Galo had several books in his hands, with an ancient design and made of high-quality materials.

Most of them were badly damaged due to the impact of the battle, and even the writing on the books was somewhat blurred.

Although the Silverwing Demon Eagle's cave absorbed most of the aftershocks of the explosion, these books were just ordinary objects with no defensive capabilities, so they were inevitably affected by the impact.

"Young master... look, these are the treasured books that my Thousand Caves City has lost to the outside world!"

"This book is called 'Strange Tales from the Clouds,' which records all sorts of strange events that have happened in the Cloud Desert over the past ten thousand years. I read it many times when I was young..."

With a face full of excitement, Jialuo gently picked up a book that was already yellowed and had tattered pages, and excitedly began to tell Jiang Che the story.

Her delicate, flawless, fair face revealed a stunning smile, radiant and beautiful.

At this moment, Galo had completely let down her guard, opened up her closed inner self, as if she had returned to that pure and beautiful youthful time.

She stretched out her slender hand and gently stroked the book in her hand, as if she were touching the most magnificent treasure in the world. Her expression was indescribably gentle, and her eyes were full of longing and memories.

Although the books had been damaged to varying degrees, Galo was already quite satisfied.

Once these rare copies can be recovered, there will naturally be ways to gradually restore them.

This is why Gara insisted on venturing deep into the heart of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.

Most of the books in the Thousand Caves City are unique copies; if they cannot be found, it is impossible to reproduce or copy them.

"Congratulations on achieving your wish. At least the trip wasn't in vain..."

Jiang Che greeted him with a warm and welcoming smile.

After putting himself in Jialuo's shoes, Jiang Che could understand her feelings.

After all, this was his father's dying wish, the culmination of the brilliant civilization of Thousand Caves City. These books might be worthless in the eyes of others, just some useless scraps of paper.

But in Gara's eyes, these books held immense significance, representing the cultural heritage of the Thousand Caves City.

Although Thousand Caves City has become ruins, a city can be rebuilt. However, if even these books that carry on the brilliant civilization of Thousand Caves City are lost, even if Thousand Caves City can be rebuilt one day, it will only exist in name only.

"All of this is thanks to Young Master Jiang..."

"If it weren't for you, young master, I wouldn't have been able to truly retrieve these lost books from the Thousand Caves..."

Galo shook his head slightly, his expression solemn, and spoke earnestly.
