Dragon Tomb

Upon hearing this, the elders immediately stopped arguing and turned to look at him, all wanting to hear what good ideas Yu Mingxiao had.

Yu Mingxiao said, "Why don't you pick a useless member of the Xu Clan clan, put him on the throne as emperor, and let your own people hold real power and control the government, completely sidelining him as a figurehead?"

"Why do you do this?" Ye Lin asked, his face full of doubt.

Yu Mingxiao said, "There are many advantages to doing this. First, it preserves the legitimacy of the royal family, so people won't feel that the Sun Moon Empire has completely changed hands. Their resistance will be greatly reduced, and there won't be frequent rebellions in various places because they have no legitimate reason to rebel."

"Secondly, it will be easier for officials in the court and local nobles and families of Soul Master to accept it, thus avoiding making many enemies."

"Thirdly, we can gradually consolidate power, ensuring a smooth transition and saving a lot of trouble."

"Once the situation is completely stable, I can find a pretext to dismiss this puppet ruler, or force him to abdicate, and then I can rightfully take his place."

The Starry Sky Sect members slowly came to their senses and instantly understood his intention, their eyes lighting up.

This approach would not only quietly replace the Xu Clan's power in the empire, but also gradually undermine the prestige and foundation built up by this thousand-year-old royal family.

Ye Lin spoke first, saying, "This method is excellent; I completely agree with Young Master Yu's idea."

The other elders also had no objections.

Only the group of royal family members not far away, trembling with fear and wetting themselves, felt extremely aggrieved.

Isn't this blatantly treating the royal family like a toy?

How could the mighty Sun Moon Imperial Family bear such humiliation!

But with no other options, they have no choice but to endure it in order to survive.

At this point, they were actually eager to become the puppet, at least to save their lives.

Yu Mingxiao glanced at the group of royal relatives, then looked at the royal retainers to the side, and asked indifferently, "Among these royal relatives, who is the most useless?"

The priest hesitated for a moment, about to speak, when Yu Mingxiao thought for a moment and asked again, "Does Xu Kun have any children?"

The official hurriedly replied, "Yes, sir. The eldest prince died at your hands, and now only a five-year-old prince remains alive in the royal family."

"Then let's choose him." Yu Mingxiao said calmly, "The late emperor has passed away, and it is only natural for a prince to inherit the throne. However, this child is still young, and we, as loyal and capable ministers, should naturally do our best to assist him and manage the affairs of state."

"That's right, you're absolutely right," the worshipper replied respectfully.

Seeing how pragmatic (cowardly) he was, Yu Mingxiao couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"

"Young master, my name is Juan Hongchen, my Martial Soul Golden Toad, and my title is Toad Douluo," the retainer replied softly.

Yu Mingxiao nodded slightly and said, "Go and bring Xu Kun's son here."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Juan Hongchen said, then turned and walked out of the main hall.

A moment later, he led in a dark-skinned, rascal-like boy and said, "This is Xu Kun's son, Xu Bi."

The royal family of the Sun Moon Empire are all Black, so this little rascal is naturally Black too.

"I understand." Yu Mingxiao nodded and gestured for him to come over.

Everything then proceeded smoothly. First, people were sent to repair the damaged palace buildings. Then, the royal family announced the news of the late Emperor Xu Kun's death to the outside world, stabilizing the ministers in the court. A funeral was held hastily, and then the young Xu Bi was formally enthroned.

Everything proceeded smoothly without any major unrest, and the court was completely at peace.

Seeing this, Yu Mingxiao temporarily bid farewell to the Ye Clan and set off for the last unexplored place.

Arriving at an extremely remote valley in the Sun Moon Empire, the mountain wind howled fiercely, and a chill swept over us. Within a radius of a thousand miles, there was no sign of human habitation.

As Yu Mingxiao walked along the valley floor, he discovered that some Soul Beast also inhabited the area, and they were mostly sub-dragon type Soul Beast, with very few other types of Soul Beast.

"We've got a lead!"

His eyes lit up. So many dragon-like Soul Beast lived here, probably because they had absorbed the Dragon Qi leaking from the Dragon Tomb.

As he walked, he continuously activated his Divine Sense to probe, and finally discovered something amiss: there was a very special space within the valley, seemingly connected to another world.

Indeed, there was a constant flow of energy emanating from there, all pure Dragon Qi!

Yu Mingxiao flashed there and was just about to tear open the spatial entrance with his own hands when a spatial rift suddenly appeared.

"Is this an invitation for me to come in?"

Yu Mingxiao raised an eyebrow and, without hesitation, stepped straight into the spatial rift.

The surrounding scenery changed instantly, and Yu Mingxiao found himself in a forest, where the trees were sparse and not dense.

This is clearly no longer Douluo Planet, but a small world, because even the sun is no longer visible.

Moreover, the gravity here is slightly greater than that in the Douluo Continent, about half as strong.

At first, I didn't notice it, but after walking for a while, it gradually became obvious.

He looked around and saw that there seemed to be no living beings there. He immediately spread out his Divine Sense to probe, but found that there seemed to be an ancient and desolate aura suppressing his Divine Sense.

His Divine Sense was suppressed by the aura, greatly reducing his vision; he could only see clearly within a radius of 500 meters at most.

Left with no other choice, Yu Mingxiao had to use his limited mental energy to explore his surroundings while simultaneously using Teleportation to traverse fields and hills, heading deeper into the wilderness.

Along the way, he encountered a Dragon Soul that was completely illusory and had lost its mind. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was the remnant soul of the Dark Sacred Dragon. In addition, the clouds in the sky must be the Dragon Cloud!

This is clearly the legendary Dragon Tomb.

Yu Mingxiao arrived at a wide-open flat area and tried to release his aura. A blue cloud suddenly twisted and then began to spin in the air. The next moment, it descended from the sky like a streak of light, flying straight towards him.

"It actually works?"

Yu Mingxiao's expression shifted slightly, and the blue Dragon Cloud immediately enveloped him, making him feel Sisi all over, as if he were soaking in water, with energy flowing into his body through his limbs and bones.

Immediately afterwards, Dragon Cloud of other colors also fell down, surging into his body all at once.

Gold, red, and blue are the most common colors, corresponding to the Light, Fire, and Water attributes, respectively.

In addition, it includes wind, earth, darkness, space, and even special attributes such as spirit and devouring.

Absorbing these Dragon Cloud is also beneficial to Yu Mingxiao, as it can enhance his resistance to various elements and nourish his physical body and mental strength...

It might also purify its own attributes, but the effect is not obvious.

He absorbed the energy for a moment, refining it from Dragon Cloud's power, and then continued deeper into the Dragon Tomb, where the real action was about to begin.
