In a secluded cave in Yunzhou.
"We respectfully welcome the Emperor Emeritus!"
The remaining generals of the Tianyu Dynasty bowed to the phantom that appeared out of thin air above them.
It was an old man with white hair, wearing a golden-red robe, his eyes were like lightning, and he exuded an imposing aura without being angry. Behind him was a vast ocean.
"Father, I've finally seen you."
The last prince of the Tianyu Dynasty stepped forward with great emotion, prostrated himself on the ground, and recounted the history of the royal family's downfall in a trembling voice.
"Hmph, unworthy descendant, you have squandered your ancestors' empire, and now you even have the nerve to cry before me, the Emperor. What a useless thing!"
Old Emperor Tianyu snorted coldly.
The middle-aged prince trembled and dared not utter a word.
His Tianyu royal family had many descendants, including no fewer than fifty or sixty of his own generation of brothers and sisters, and hundreds of his nephews and nieces. Unfortunately, they were all killed by that scoundrel Xiao Xuan, leaving only him, a prince who was neither a scholar nor a warrior, barely clinging to life.
Sometimes, he really couldn't understand what that idiot brother of his was thinking. Why did he have to go and wade into the muddy waters of the Dragon Cloud Empire and the Vermilion Bird Dynasty, and even anger that madman Xiao Xuan?
"Alright, I will return in a year. You all need only lay in wait, ready to fight back with me and reclaim the land of my Tianyu royal family."
With a flick of his sleeve, the old Emperor Tianyu dispersed the projection.
Those who remained inside the cave were filled with excitement.
Their old emperor is about to return, and they will no longer have to be stray dogs.
The middle-aged prince was so excited that he immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Xiao Xuan, you treacherous dog, dare to steal my Tianyu Kingdom! Your good days are coming to an end, hehehe..."
........
Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Beast's understanding of the Law of Thunder deepened, and he even touched upon a glimpse of the realm.
On this day, the clone returned.
"brother! "
"brother! "
"You're finally back!"
"I'm finally back!"
The moment they met, they clasped hands, as if old friends were meeting, their eyes brimming with tears.
"Come, sit down."
"good. "
The two held hands and sat facing each other under the old mulberry tree.
The main body of the Qin beast brewed a pot of tea, while its clone simply waved its hand and knocked it away.
"Having been away from tea for so long, it's a bit disrespectful to ourselves to drink it."
The original speaker replied, "That's right, then let's bring out the wine."
With a flick of his sleeve, Qin Shou conjured a jar of spirit wine.
"Xiao Bai, pour the wine!"
Qin Shou's mind stirred.
"Chirp~"
A small white bird spread its wings and flew over from the peach tree, picked up the wine jar with its beak and poured two cups of wine into it.
"How come you have time to come back?" Qin Shou asked.
"Didn't you summon me?" the clone replied.
Qin Shou continued, "I mean, how did you escape back?"
The other person understood perfectly. "Hey, I didn't run away. I just worked harder and more diligently, and she was so happy that she let me come back for a few days off to visit my family."
Qin Shou remained silent, picked up a cup of wine, and said with tears glistening in his eyes, "You've suffered!"
The clone also picked up a cup of wine, sighed, and said, "Alas, it's been suffering, so much suffering."
Qin Shou declared with boundless pride, "How about next time, I take your place in this suffering?"
The clone was stunned. "Ah? This...this won't do, this won't do, this won't do! We are one, my suffering is already your suffering, how can I let you suffer again?"
Qin Beast: ...You rejected me so quickly!
"That... Demon Lord Run?"
Qin asked tentatively.
"Smooth, smooth, smooth..."
The clone nodded repeatedly, its mouth almost splitting into a wide grin.
He immediately realized what was happening, coughed twice as if to make a sound, straightened his clothes, and sat up straight.
Qin Shou:.............Look at you, so ignorant and uncultured! You're a real beast!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Suddenly, the clone began rhythmically tapping the table, its small eyes glancing at the original body, and asked:
"Um, Nangong girl... are you moisturized?"
"Smooth, smooth, smooth..."
Qin Shou nodded repeatedly, his mouth stretching into a wide grin that he made no attempt to hide.
Seeing this, the clone chuckled and shook its shoulders.
Seeing this, Qin Shou also chuckled and shook his thighs.
"We truly live up to our name, Qin Beasts! Hahahaha..."
"We truly live up to our name, Qin Beasts! Hahahaha..."
At the same time, the two raised their glasses and drank together.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
After a while, Qin Shou put down his wine cup and slowly asked, "What exactly is the situation with that Demon Lord in the Heavenly Demon Abyss?"
The clone said with a solemn expression, "I don't know the specifics either."
"However, based on my observations over the past few decades, that Demon Lord Yaoyao seems to be quite extraordinary. Everyone knows that three thousand years ago, a Demon Lord emerged out of nowhere, wanting to lead all the demons of the world to attack the Central Divine Continent, which has supposedly witnessed the rise and fall of heaven and earth for tens of millions of years. It seems this was for some kind of demonic artifact sealed within the Holy Domain of Light..."
The specific details of the events are unknown to the world. All that is known is that later, the supreme demon lord, rumored to have one foot in the Tribulation Transcending Realm, was ambushed by the "Dao Ancestor" of the Heavenly Calculation Palace. This ancestor, along with over a dozen powerful beings at the Integration Realm from the Central Divine Continent, laid down an unparalleled formation, severing the demon lord's great body and sealing a wisp of his undying soul beneath the Heavenly Demon Abyss.
"I know that."
Qin Shou nodded. He had researched many things about that Demon Lord and the event that shocked the entire Tianxuan Continent three thousand years ago.
If I had to summarize, I could only say that the Demon Lord possessed unparalleled charisma.
In terms of sheer scale, in the hundreds of thousands of years of history of the Tianxuan Continent, no one has been able to match it except for that unparalleled empress from nine thousand years ago who had the wild idea of attempting to elevate the entire nation.
"No, you probably don't know."
The clone shook its head, feigning mystery, and said, "Whether it was the 'Dao Ancestor' of the Heavenly Calculation Palace who conspired with many Nascent Soul Realm experts to scheme against Demon Lord Yaoyao, or whether Demon Lord Yaoyao schemed against them, it is still unknown."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou frowned. "What do you mean?"
The clone said leisurely, "According to my investigation, that Heavenly Demon Abyss is extremely special."
"Nonsense."
Qin Shou rolled his eyes. "The Heavenly Demon Abyss, also known as the 'Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons,' has witnessed the fall of countless great demons throughout history. No one knows how it was formed, nor how long it has existed. All that is known is that it is extremely dangerous. Even powerful cultivators at the Integration Realm would face fatal danger if they ventured deep inside. Rumor has it that cultivators at the Transcending Tribulation Realm have also perished there. It is also hailed as one of the ten forbidden zones of life on the Heavenly Profound Continent."
"Hehe, that's not what I wanted to talk about."
The clone shook its head and explained, "Instead, I discovered that the Heavenly Demon Abyss contains both immortal and demonic power, and it is very likely a passage connecting the immortals and mortals."
