Above the Vast Sea

Ten days later, Su Xiangxue, who led her army to the Imperial Capital of the Demon Realm, held her Enthronement Ceremony in the Imperial Capital as scheduled.

Under someone's coercion, all the Demon King either sent envoys or personally attended the ceremony, all expressing their submission to the newly appointed Monster Race Empress, Su Xiangxue.

Then, the newly appointed Female Yaoguai queen, representing the Demon Realm, signed a series of restrictive clauses with the Alliance Leader the Righteous Path Alliance and the Demonic Sect Alliance of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. She also spent three months fine-tuning the domestic situation, making the opposition between the Demon Emperor Court and the Twenty-Eight Northern Demon Realm Commanderies clearer.

Meanwhile, using the pieced-together map, Su Xiangxue successfully located the exact location of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor's Tomb.

After doing these three things, she announced her abdication in the Imperial Capital, passing the throne to her Paternal Half-Siblings- brother, Cang Huangyu.

"In just three months in power, you've accomplished three major acts of treason. Your reputation in the Demon Realm will likely be infamous for eternity."

On a small boat on the Vast Sea, Bai Qiuran teased Su Xiangxue.

The two were on their way to the location of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Who cares about them? I don't care anyway.

Su Xiangxue smiled nonchalantly.

"I am Elder of the Demonic Sect Alliance and the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, not some Northern County Princess of the Demon Realm or an Empress."

"How carefree."

Bai Qiuran paused for a moment, then said sincerely, "Xiangxue, thank you."

Su Xiangxue's face flushed slightly, but she quickly suppressed it with her internal energy. Then she asked, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for coming to the Demon Realm for me. Thank you for everything you've done for me these past few days."

Bai Qiuran touched her nose somewhat awkwardly, but continued speaking anyway.

"Hmph, it's good that you know."

Su Xiangxue replied.

Bai Qiuran took two steps forward and continued to use his True Qi to propel the small boat forward. Su Xiangxue quietly approached from behind and reached out her hand towards Bai Qiuran's hanging hand, but hesitated for a moment before grabbing his sleeve.

The small boat rocked on the waves, cutting through them, and after traveling several dozen nautical miles, Wisdom Immortal, whose weapon was hanging at her waist, finally couldn't help but ask, "Um, can I speak now?"

Su Xiangxue raised an eyebrow and swept her gaze at Wisdom Immortal with murderous intent, while Bai Qiuran said without turning her head, "Fine, what do you want to say?"

"Oh, finally I can talk! Watching you two being all lovey-dovey was driving me crazy."

Wisdom Immortal, her eyebrows dancing with excitement, pressed on, "Why did the First Ancestor Demon Emperor choose to bury himself on an island in the Vast Sea ocean instead of within the Demon Realm? What was his plan? And what is the meaning of that prophecy circulating in the Monster Race Imperial Family...? I feel my thirst for knowledge is boiling!"

"After all that rambling, all you've got is this nonsense?"

Su Xiangxue said angrily.

"Um, can't I vent my emotions a little?"

"Shut up!"

Wisdom Immortal shut his mouth in annoyance, but he had completely ruined the atmosphere between Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue. For the rest of the journey, Su Xiangxue never felt that romantic feeling again.

I need to find an excuse to get him out of my way later!

Su Xiangxue thought to herself.

According to the map, the tomb of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor is located on an Islands in the southeast of the Vast Sea, hundreds of miles away from the coast of the Demon Realm.

Although it wasn't very far, the distance was still fraught with danger in the Vast Sea. Along the way, Bai Qiuran had already killed several powerful Sea Beasts, including a Sea Dragon Horse that had some Dragon Race characteristics and whose strength was comparable to that of Spirit Severing Stage Cultivators.

These Sea Beasts are but a drop in the Vast Sea, and the small territory they occupy, spanning only a few dozen miles, is nothing at all.

Deep within the Vast Sea, there are even more ferocious and powerful monsters, some of which are even capable of devouring True Immortal.

Fortunately, Bai Qiuran and the others did not need to face these guys. The tomb of the Demon Emperor Ancestor was located near the sea, and for some reason, there were no powerful Sea Beasts above the Body Integration Stage nearby.

The small boat crossed the sea, and their destination finally appeared on the horizon.

It was a fairly large island, covered with Dense Forest. In the center of the island stood a mountain peak several hundred meters high, which was the location of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor's Tomb as marked on the map.

After casually killing two Spirit Severing Stage beasts that might be Tomb Guardian Beast on the shore, Bai Qiuran steered the small boat to the shore and, together with Su Xiangxue, boarded the island.

The climate on the island was pleasant. Su Xiangxue stretched her beautiful body and took a deep breath.

"Such a wonderful place, it's such a waste to use it as a tomb for the Demon Emperor."

She sighed.

"It's their land; if they want to use it to build tombs, there's nothing we can do."

Bai Qiuran gave a thumbs up and said, "If you can't stand it, then come and dig up his grave together."

"Too."

Su Xiangxue pushed Bai Qiuran, saying, "Let's go, we're already here, let's not dawdle."

Half an hour after the two men headed toward the tomb, another ship followed their course and docked on the island.

This ship was several times larger than the one Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue were on. It was reinforced with steel and looked very sturdy. There were also some Formation engraved on the hull.

After the ship came to a stop, a group of people disembarked one by one. The three leading figures were the three Demon Kings: the White Crocodile King, the Eagle King, and the Flower King.

After Su Xiangxue seized the Demon Emperor, she discarded it like trash and threw it to Canghe-Tu-Shu Huangyu, which infuriated them. However, they also understood that, let alone Bai Qiuran, even Su Xiangxue was not an opponent they could easily deal with.

So they chose to gamble, following behind Bai Qiuran, betting everything on the prophecy left behind by the First Ancestor Demon Emperor.

"It seems they've already gone in before us."

After landing, finding no one near the beach, the White Crocodile King and the Eagle King spoke to the Flower King.

"Hundred Flowers is now in your hands."

After nodding, the taciturn Flower King transformed his hands into numerous Vines, which dug through the soil and penetrated deep into the ground.

Only in this way could they bypass Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue, who were taking the proper route, and arrive at the tomb of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor before them.

"It's a pity the Black Snake didn't come."

Watching Kao's figure gradually disappearing into the ground, Eagle King sighed, "He is also a good hand at earth escape and digging, and he has sensitive perception. With him here, we can do twice the result with half the effort."

"That spineless good-for-nothing, don't even mention him!"

The White Crocodile King sneered, "He has already betrayed us; he is no longer the leader of our Western Demon Realm."

Eagle King scratched his head awkwardly, remaining silent. Just then, Flower King's head popped out of the hole and said to everyone, "I think I've found the location of the Main Burial Chamber. Follow me."
