“Could you know where the other two thirds are?”
Bai Qiuran asked.
“Let’s take a look… the info given to me is that before the first Demon Emperor died, he ordered his ministers to divide the map of his imperial tomb into three and scattered them in the demon world. One of them was protected by the royal family, one part is protected by the ministers, and the other part is lost to the people of the demon world and is missing.”
Wise Immortal said:
“When the demon race is declining, the demon who gather three maps and find the Mausoleum of the First Demon Emperor will become a new demon emperor.”
“This one should be the one protected by the so-called [ministers], right?”
Bai Qiuran looked at the map fragment on the desk.
“Is the current demon race considered a decline?”
“Of course it is.”
A dark green spark spurted out of Wise Immortal’s eyes.
“At the beginning of the Sacred Dynasty, the Ten Demon Kings of the Demon Race were also comparable to the Immortals, and the Demon Emperor was a peerless and powerful person who could rival the emperor of the Sacred Dynasty. Look at the demon race now. The power of the bloodline is declining, the cultivation base is regressing, and all the demon kings only have the strength of the Physique Integration stage. Not to mention the one with the purest blood in the royal family is this little girl, who is a half-breed. If this is not a decline, what is? Do you have to wait for the human race or devils to slaughter the demon race before it is called decline?”
“That seems to be true.”
Bai Qiuran said:
“But it’s strange. Unlike the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, the inheritance within the demon world has not been broken down, why does the demon race have no demon at Immortal stage?”
“It’s all because of you.”
Su Xiangxue glanced at him and said.
“What? How did you blame me for this?”
Bai Qiuran said in shock.
“After the ancient city appeared, I tried to search the history of the demon world. The intelligence said that the demon emperor of the last demon emperor was indeed more powerful than a cultivator in the Great Acension stage. After passed the throne to the one who just died, he disappeared together with the demon kings of the previous generation.”
Su Xiangxue slowly said:
“And not long after the demon king of this generation took over the throne, he focused on the human race, who was weakened after being invaded by the devils. At that time, your master Qingming Taoist and other people in the same generation has ascended to the immortal realm. Among the remaining people, the one with the highest cultivation level in the entire cultivation world was the Physique Integration stage. The demon king who has the strength of Heavenly Tribulating stage felt that he cannot lose no matter what, thus he recklessly came over.”
“Is the human race so miserable at the time?”
Wise Immortal murmured:
“Then the Demon King is actually right. In our time, the Heavenly Tribulating stage was also called the Emptiness Observing stage. The cultivators who reached this stage have begun to comprehend the law of the world, as long as they are not too incompetent, dealing with several Physique Integration stage cultivators at once should be no problem.”
“Yes, then as soon as the Demon Emperor and his army arrived, he met Qiuran.”
Su Xiangxue glanced at Bai Qiuran.
“The ten demon kings announced their abdication right after they came to the throne, and some of them did not even have time to leave an heir. The demon emperor himself was also seriously injured and had to use the forbidden technique of burning lifespan. Although successfully returning to the demon world, he barely recovered, but there was no possibility of a breakthrough in this life. After that, the demon emperor desperately promoted several powerful demon races of lower bloodlines to become the Demon King, and over time it evolved into what it is today.”
“It is to maintain the nobility of their [higher] bloodlines, so they destroyed the records of the Land Immortal age? It is estimated that only the royal family and the royal family retain the records of my age.”
Wise Immortal said:
“But why… how did the demon emperor and demon kings of the previous generation disappear for no reason?”
“Don’t think so far now. The first goal is to gather the maps and find the tomb of the first demon emperor .”
Bai Qiuran interrupted him:
“Maybe this secret is hidden in the Mausoleum of the First Demon Emperor.”
Wise Immortal muttered a few words, still seemingly reluctant to give up, but he finally did not refute Bai Qiuran’s words and chose to default.
The main reason was that his curiosity and thirst for knowledge of the first Demon Emperor’s Mausoleum were not lower than the circumstances of the mysterious disappearance of the previous Demon Emperor.
“I will use secret methods to contact my intelligence network in the demon world, and ask them to help us investigate the intelligence of the other two forces that are hostile to the Black Snake King.”
Su Xiangxue said:
“Of course, I will not skip the information of the Black Snake King camp.”
“I will report the situation to the Jade Faced Buddha later.”
Bai Qiuran also said to Su Xiangxue:
“…Xiangxue, we have worked hard today, let’s rest first.”
After speaking, he felt that this sentence seemed strange, but he couldn’t tell the specifics.
“Hey, listen to what you mean…”
But Su Xiangxue, who was very thoughtful, heard it, and she laughed openly and said:
“Do you want to [rest] with me?”
“No, no.”
Bai Qiuran felt overwhelmed, and quickly denied:
“I will have to talk to the leader later, because he’s a monk, and the influence is not good, the influence is not good…”
Su Xiangxue smiled slightly, nodded lightly on the tip of Bai Qiuran’s nose, then walked out the door with a chuckle and returned to her room next door.
After closing the door, she relaxed her mind, and the suppressed blood rushed to her cheeks, making her blush all the way to the roots of her ears.
The Sect Master of the Kamasutra Sect was like a young girl at this time, threw herself on her bed, and then rolled around holding the pillow. In the dimly lit room, a woman’s silly chuckle came out.
............
On the night when Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue were invited by the Black Snake King to stay in the other palace, in the east side of Demon Realm, beyond the ends of the demon world facing the sea, amidst the layers of waves, there was a flatboat coming by wind and waves.
This was just a wooden boat with a small white sail. It’s not even as large as the small ship using on the canal. Above the sea, there are not only storms and huge waves that symbolized natural anger, but also countless powerful and terrifying, fierce sea beasts.
Not to mention a small wooden boat that could only be used to cross the river, even the Seacloud Flying Ship co-produced by Sky-Forging Castle and Mystery Academy dared not go too deep into the sea.
But this little wooden boat did it. It crossed the ocean from an isolated island in the sea and came to the easternmost part of the demon world that bordered the sea.
The wind on the sea was surging, and the waves were like a white wall. Each one was taller and bigger than the canoe, but when the waves hit the canoe, a blue barrier appeared on the surface of the canoe, blocking everything.
No one was paddling, and the small white sails on the canoe obviously couldn’t bring it enough power, but the small boat was leaning against the towering cliff at the end of the East Demon Realm at a rapid speed.
A white figure suddenly rushed out of the canoe, rushed up the cliff, and ran on it as if it’s flat ground.
The figure fell to the ground and showed his true body. He was a white-faced niche with red hair, obviously not from the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands nor the demon world, but he deliberately dressed in the style of a scholar, holding a white folding fan.
“Thank you, grandpa, goodbye.”
He turned his head and waved his hand at the sea, the waves rolled, and there seemed to be a giant under the sea turning his body, with long ripples, slowly leaving the shore.
The white-faced red-haired scholar turned his head and opened the folding fan, pretending to be a nondescript scholar, looking at the surrounding scenery, and said:
“Here, is this the real continent the teacher talks about?”
