This is the feeling of the Demon Lord towards the current cultivation world. Although the Demon Lord's remnant soul has been sleeping in this tomb, he occasionally pays attention to the outside world. As for those so-called cultivators, the more the Demon Lord looks at them, the more disappointed he becomes. He even worries that once these old guys who exist in the long river of history disappear, will they still be able to protect the interests of all races? The Demon Lord and his kind have great ambitions. They don't just consider their own race or a single world. They consider the entire cultivation world, and even the future of all creatures under the heavens. But now, Jiang Chen's appearance has eased the Demon Lord's worries to some extent. At least it has shown the Demon Lord that there is still hope for the future of the cultivation world. "Soul and body separation!" Suddenly, the Demon Lord's gaze becomes stern, his lips slightly open, and another powerful law is unleashed! Jiang Chen feels as if he has been struck by a certain force. He tries to continue attacking but finds that his body is not under his control, yet his consciousness remains clear. "Why do I feel like I'm being pressed down by a ghost when I used to sleep as a child!" Although his consciousness is clear, it is extremely difficult for Jiang Chen to even move a finger or open his mouth. Soul and body separation is one of the most powerful laws of the Demon Lord. It can separate a person's consciousness from their body, reaching a state where they cannot control each other.

Although the ability of the law sounds somewhat "plain," for the Demon Lord and other powerful beings at their level, even just a breath's time of soul and body separation is enough to bring their opponents to their demise. "It's already quite impressive to achieve this." Seeing that Jiang Chen doesn't move, a hint of appreciation appears at the corner of the Demon Lord's mouth. In his memory, this is the first time he has displayed this law with a younger generation. Even when facing opponents of the same level in the past, the previous Demon Lord rarely used it. The Demon Lord steps down from the white jade bed and walks slowly towards Jiang Chen. When he reaches Jiang Chen's side and is about to release the law, Jiang Chen's body suddenly moves! "Primordial Fist Technique!" The sudden movement surprises the Demon Lord. Years of combat instinct make the Demon Lord instinctively take a step back, but Jiang Chen's fist technique seems to have automatic tracking, making it impossible for the Demon Lord to escape the range of the attack. "Quite interesting!" After three breaths, Jiang Chen's hand touches the Demon Lord's body, and this "duel" ends with Jiang Chen's victory. After the battle, the Demon Lord returns to the white jade bed. He gently waves his right hand, and a white jade chair appears in front of Jiang Chen. The Demon Lord makes a gesture, indicating for Jiang Chen to sit on the chair. Jiang Chen doesn't hesitate and sits directly on the chair, with a humble smile on his face. Although Jiang Chen considers himself strong and doesn't even regard any contemporary genius as a threat, he still respects such an elder. After all, without the sacrifices and efforts of the Demon Lord and others in the past, there wouldn't be the "era of peace" they have now. "Your strength is impressive. Even in our time, you would be considered a true genius." The Demon Lord smiles slightly, his gaze filled with approval towards Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen nods with a smile, embodying the four words "neither humble nor arrogant" to the fullest.

"How long have you been cultivating?" "Less than thirty years." Facing the Demon Lord's question, Jiang Chen doesn't hide anything and has never thought of hiding anything. Oh! This is too incredible! Upon hearing Jiang Chen's answer, the usually cold and ruthless Demon Lord was momentarily at a loss for words. Although he believed that Jiang Chen was a genius, this was a bit too much! Even in their so-called golden age, such a person had never appeared! Jiang Chen helplessly looked at the Demon Lord beside him, not knowing what to say for a moment. He could only blame himself for being too powerful, and in his heart, Jiang Chen knew better than anyone that his cultivation speed and strength were indeed excessively exaggerated! "It seems that you do have the qualifications to compete for control of the Dao Palace!" After struggling for a long time, the Demon Lord couldn't come up with a suitable evaluation for Jiang Chen, so he changed the topic. Upon hearing the words "Dao Palace," Jiang Chen's face also showed a keen interest. According to the content recorded in the original novel, the Dao Palace is a passage to a higher world. Within the Dao Palace, there are records of beings that surpass the Immortal Emperor, the controllers of dimensions! In reality, the Heavenly Dao that the Demon Lord and others defeated in the past was just a synthesis of the laws created by the controller, without any consciousness of its own. However, after a long period of development, the Heavenly Dao was contaminated by desire. But for the controllers, whether they are ordinary people or powerful beings like the Immortal Emperor or the Emperor-level experts, they are nothing more than ants in the eyes of the controllers. A world is just a part of a dimension, and the controllers control the entire dimension, so if one or two worlds have problems, the controllers naturally wouldn't care. "What exactly exists within the Dao Palace?" Jiang Chen's face was filled with curiosity. Although there are descriptions of the Dao Palace in the original work, it is not detailed. Perhaps even the author at the time did not know how to make it happen. "It is said that there is a secret inside that can create worlds." Even the usually cold Demon Lord couldn't help but tremble when he said these words. However, such a reaction is understandable. After all, it is a means of creating worlds. Even experts at the Emperor or King level do not have such abilities. "But one plane alone cannot truly become a controller." Jiang Chen frowned slightly, contemplating the inconsistency in this statement. Because the basic requirement to become a controller is to have the ability to create planes, and to be considered a plane, there must be at least four independent worlds overlapping. "I think it's because the Demon Lord and the others have never come into contact with that level, so they don't really understand what's inside the Dao Palace."

Only this reason can explain what is going on. "So, what qualifications are needed to enter the Dao Palace?" Jiang Chen asked further. But this is also unavoidable. After all, the description of this part in the original novel is limited, so the information Jiang Chen obtained is also limited. "I'm afraid... it requires the power of an Immortal Emperor." The Demon Lord paused slightly and expressed his thoughts. "Is it the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor, or their combat power?"
