Chapter 448: Ancient Demon Domain

The Heavenly Demon Palace had achieved the breakthrough they had wanted for many years, finally taking control of the whole Cangyang Kingdom. Zhao Qingyun wasn’t very interested in power, but there were many passionate people in the Heavenly Demon Palace, like the two Demon Elders. When they heard that Murong Yu would become Empress, they were overwhelmed with joy. These days, they were very busy learning the imperial family’s traditions, though they had made time to choose the date for Murong Yu to ascend to the throne.

As long as she was crowned, everything would be stable.

No other faction in the kingdom had even a single Ninth River Stage cultivator. That was why if Murong Yu became the ruler instead of Long Chen, no one would dare to object. Murong Yu was a Ninth River Stage cultivator after all and possessed the Imperial Sword. She was likely to reach Lin Zichen’s previous level in less than a year.

Long Chen entered the palace, keeping a low profile. Using the Soul Swallowing Gaze, he quickly found Zhao Qingyun. Zhao Qingyun was far more powerful than everyone else, so his soul was very unique.

At this moment, Zhao Qingyun was in the Jinluan Pavilion with Murong Yu and the two Demon Elders. They were discussing rebuilding the nation when Long Chen entered. Due to Ling Xi’s departure, Long Chen’s expression was gloomy.

“Long … Long Chen.” When the First and Second Demon Elders saw him, they instinctively took several steps back in fear. They were deeply afraid of the monster prodigy, and at the same time, they were very impressed by Zhao Qingyun’s ability to spot his potential.

“Brother Chen, you’re finally here. Good, good. We were just discussing the date for Xiao Yu’s coronation. Our tentative plan is the seventh day of next month. You’re currently the most influential person in the Cangyang Kingdom, so it is crucial that you attend the ceremony to support Xiao Yu,” said Zhao Qingyun with a smile.

“Master, I am actually here to bid you farewell. I will leave Cangyang Kingdom today to go to the Divine Martial Territory,” Long Chen told him.

Ling Xi’s departure had caused a huge change in Long Chen’s personality. At the moment, Zhao Qingyun and the rest did not know what was wrong, but they suddenly felt like he was different from before. He had less to say, and the untamable arrogance in his eyes had been replaced with coldness and depth. Zhao Qingyun suddenly felt like his disciple had matured a lot.

“So soon?” Zhao Qingyun’s brows were furrowed. He stood up and walked up to Long Chen’s side. “We will be able to truly build a new nation on the seventh day of next month and your stepmother will be giving birth in about three months’ time, yet you want to leave today?” Zhao Qingyun felt that although the Cangyang Kingdom was no longer suitable for Long Chen’s development, was it necessary to be in such a hurry?

“Some things happened, so I have no choice but to hurry. I’ll have to miss the baby’s birth, but I will definitely return one day. Things will be fine with you here. Xiao Yu will also reach the Heavenly Passage Realm soon, so she will become the pillar of the nation,” Long Chen said with a nod.

Murong Yu looked up and asked, “Long Chen, is this about the girl?”

Long Chen nodded.

Zhao Qingyun did not know about Long Chen and Ling Xi. He only knew that a person like that existed, though he did not know what had happened. Seeing as Long Chen had killed the Ninth Prince and fled because of her, she was extremely important to Long Chen.

“Have you made your decision already?” Zhao Qingyun asked for the last time.

“Master, please relay my apology to my stepfather. I will return one day,” Long Chen said sincerely.

“Alright. In that case, I’ll go with you to the universal transporter,” said Zhao Qingyun.

Murong Yu stood up and hurriedly said, “I’ll see you off too!”

Long Chen nodded. Soon, they all rode on the Heavenly Demon Palace’s vehicle of choice, which was a Peng bird that was about a Category Four Earth-tier. The Peng bird had a gentle temperament, but it was swift. Although it was not as fast as Xiaolang, it did not take much time for them to get to the Snowpeak Mountains in the north.

Long Chen sat at the front and did not speak throughout the journey. Looking at his back, he seemed forlorn. Murong Yu and Zhao Qingyun, who were sitting behind, looked at each other. After some time, Zhao Qingyun finally said, “Xiao Yu, go have a chat with him. You’re both young, so it’s easier to talk.”

“Yes, Palace Lord.” Murong Yu nodded. Then she walked over and sat down next to Long Chen. A strong wind blew on her hair, revealing her beautiful face.

Murong Yu hesitated for a while, then she said, “What happened? Can you tell me? I think we count as friends, and your master is really worried about you.”

Long Chen looked up at Murong Yu. Previously, he thought that everything that had happened with Ling Xi was a private matter, but seeing as Murong Yu was only showing concern, he decided that the only thing he could do was tell her about his problems.

“Ling Xi … I used the imperial family’s Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit to help her regain a human body. But she was taken away by her family, and her family’s strength far exceeded my imagination …” Long Chen sighed, then he continued, “Right now, she’s getting further and further away from me. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.”

“Does that girl really have such a terrifying background …” Murong Yu was shocked. No wonder Long Chen was so sad. It was already good that he was not completely depressed due to the potentially permanent separation. That explained why he was so impatient to embark on his journey.

“Does that mean that you’re in such a hurry because you need to find her?” asked Murong Yu, touched.

“Yes. I promised her that I would go to her in ten years.” Long Chen nodded and stared ahead with determination in his eyes.

Murong Yu saw stubbornness in them.

“That’s touching.” Murong Yu smiled, knowing she was unable to help. She then said bitterly, “Looks like you already have a goal in your heart, and you don’t need my advice. However, I still need to tell you one thing—be careful, and your life is the most important thing. Don’t forget that in the faraway, tiny kingdom called the Cangyang Kingdom, there’s a group of people who care about you and miss you.”

Towards the end, Murong Yu hung her head and her tone turned sorrowful.

“Thank you,” said Long Chen, nodding.

Zhao Qingyun had heard their conversation. He walked over and said, “The Dragon Continent is vast with no end. Chen’er, is the girl’s clan in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory?”

“No,” answered Long Chen, shaking his head.

“Then she must be from the Three Emperor Territories. So, the legendary Emperor Territories really exist. But, Chen’er, you must know that the only way to get there is through the Ancient Graveyard!” Zhao Qingyun said, shocked.

“The Ancient Graveyard opens periodically, and before it does, all Ten Great Empires compete for the right to enter. I don’t know the specifics, but I think something comes out of the earth, and anyone who gets it earns the right to enter,” explained Zhao Qingyun as he tried to recall the details.

“This means that I’ll find the way to enter the Ancient Graveyard within the Divine Martial Territory…” This was great news for Long Chen. Although the road ahead would be difficult, at least he had a solid goal.

Very soon, they arrived in front of the Universal Transporter, and Long Chen prepared to leave. Before he left, he told Zhao Qingyun, “Master, after I leave, there are some people you must help me take care of. There are two girls in the Lingwu family of Yuanling City named Yin Mengyao and Liu Lan, as well as my family in Baiyang Town, the Yang family. Let the whole clan move to the Imperial Capital and tell them it was my idea. It’ll make me rest easier. As for the two girls from the Lingwu family, it depends on what they want. If they don’t want to come to the Imperial Capital, send some experts to protect them.”

Zhao Qingyun nodded and committed this to memory.

When Murong Yu heard that Long Chen was thinking about girls other than Ling Xi, she felt a little uncomfortable.

“Right, Chen’er. I almost forgot about this. My memory these days …” Zhao Qingyun hurriedly took a black token out of his Universe Pouch. It was made of hard iron that could not be damaged by normal attacks.

“I forgot to tell you about this. Actually, the ancestral master of the Heavenly Demon Palace came from the Divine Martial Territory, so we have roots there. However, after he came here, he never returned to the Divine Martial Territory and cut off all contact with them.”

Zhao Qingyun paused, then he continued, “This black iron token is a symbolic item from a large faction in the Divine Martial Territory. The Heavenly Demon Palace should be considered a branch of that faction, and the Universal Transporter in front of you will take you directly to the edge of that faction. I don’t know if I remember this correctly, but the faction’s name should be the Ancient Demon Domain.”

“Ancient Demon Domain?” Long Chen made a mental note of the name and took the token. It looked very old, and strange symbols were carved on one side. The other side was carved with a name, Guang Yuan.

“The ancestral master of the Heavenly Demon Palace was called ‘Guang Yuan.’ This should be his identifying token. Take it to the Ancient Demon Domain and you might be given the right to join them,” Zhao Qingyun said emotionally.
