Chapter 567: Chapter 566: North Sea Secrets—Could the Demon Emperor Di Jun Return? [Part 1]

"Are you saying that below the North Sea, the remnants of the souls of the Ten Great Demon Saints of the Demon Race are suppressed?"

Within the Great Qin Celestial Court.

The dragon corpses brought back from the North Sea were all suspended in the deepest part of the Celestial Palace.

This place is isolated from the outside world, deep and boundless, like an independent universe.

On ordinary days, apart from Emperor Ying Zheng, no one would enter this place.

But since the incident at the North Sea, Ying Zheng and the Old Dragon King would frequently come here together, exchanging insights and discussing the secrets of the world.

At that time, Ying Zheng asked about the situation beneath the North Sea Abyss.

Below the North Sea is the Sea Eye of this world, with the remnants of the Dragon Palace just above that Sea Eye.

In fact, there’s always been a rumor in the outside world that beneath the North Sea Eye, a terrifying existence is sealed away.

But most people think this refers to the Ancient Wilderness Dragon Race.

However, top-tier forces know that the Ancient Wilderness Dragon Race was initially deceived by the Ancient Celestial Court to help them guard the Sea Eye.

At the time, the Dragon Race believed that by cooperating with the Celestial Court, once the promised time limit was reached, the Dragon Race would be able to add a seat among the Four Imperial Lords of the Ancient Celestial Court, thereby reviving.

But who could have thought that the existence beneath the Sea Eye was feared by the Celestial Court, and the Ancient Wilderness Dragon Race was likewise not tolerated by the Celestial Court.

Eventually, the Dragon Race was set up, ending with an everlasting doom alongside the existence beneath the Sea Eye!

The foundation of Great Qin in the Upper Realm is not considered ancient.

Therefore, Ying Zheng was not particularly familiar with the situation beneath the North Sea, but upon hearing that the Celestial Dao Gate descended upon the North Sea today, he mentioned it to the Old Dragon King.

Unexpectedly, the Old Dragon King revealed an earth-shattering secret.

"In the war between the Demon and the Witch, though the Demon Race was extinguished, the Demon Emperor Di Jun used a Heaven-Reaching Secret Technique to preserve a bit of the Spiritual Sense of the Ten Great Demon Saints."

"These Spiritual Senses entered the North Sea Abyss, where they revive from the withered like dead wood coming back to life."

The Old Dragon King explained in brief words a secret that the world’s powerhouses had speculated about for years.

"No wonder that when Princess Iron Fan broke the North Sea Array, a shot was fired with the Hou Yi Bow, a Holy Soldier of the Witch Race. It turns out that the remnants of the Demon-Witch War were still suppressed beneath the North Sea." Ying Zheng realized why the Witch Race intervened to obstruct that day.

Unfortunately.

After the Demon-Witch War, the Demon Race fell, and the strong among the Witch Race declined as well.

Though that person had the Witch’s Holy Soldier, Hou Yi Bow, they could only secretly let fly a shot, not daring to show themselves.

"This time, the Celestial Dao Gate descending on the North Sea, is it a coincidence, or is it an intentional act by the Heavenly Dao?"

"With the Battle of Ascension erupting there, without your Dragon Race suppressing the Sea Eye, wouldn’t the seal become loose?"

Ying Zheng immediately realized this point. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The Dragon Race’s bloodline is special, naturally suppressing the Four Seas, and the North Sea Sea Eye, aside from being directly guarded by a Saint, can only be suppressed by the Dragon Race in this world.

Now that the Dragon Race has joined Great Qin.

The existence beneath the North Sea is likely already restless, and when the Battle of Ascension breaks out, the seal will inevitably be affected by the flames of war!

With this thought, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but narrow his eyes: "Could it be that the Demon Ancestor is acting for this matter?"

The Demon Race Celestial Court is in decline, with both the Qilin Emperor and Zhu Yan fallen.

To revive, they truly are in urgent need of assistance from the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race!

The Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race: Fei Lian, Gui Che, Zi Tie, Qin Yuan, Ji Meng, Shang Yang, Jiu Ying, Fei Dan, Ying Zhao, Bai Ze.

Though they are entities that vanished long ago in the river of history.

In their time, without exception, they were the most capable subordinates of the Demon Emperor Di Jun!

Ying Zheng found it hard not to associate this pursuit of a seat in the Mortal World by the Demon Ancestor with the seal beneath the North Sea.

However, the Old Dragon King shook his head and stated: "The Demon Ancestor should not know that the Spiritual Senses of the Ten Great Saints have revived in the North Sea Abyss. If it were aware, compared to breaking the seal to save the Ten Great Saints, it would likely fear their return more!"

"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow, looking at the Old Dragon King with puzzlement.

The Old Dragon King let out a hoarse laugh, saying: "Because during the Demon-Witch War, the Demon Ancestor was a deserter, and it is speculated by those entities beneath the Sea Eye that the reason Demon Emperor Di Jun’s flaw was discovered might also be greatly related to the Demon Ancestor!"

Ying Zheng’s eyes showed a hint of astonishment.

The Old Dragon King laughed and said, "It could very well be because of this that the Donghuang Bell, which should have been a Top Grade Extreme Sacred Weapon, never displayed its true might in the hands of the Demon Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, reflecting: "It seems, the Demon Ancestor’s success in ascending to power is not very honorable."

The Old Dragon King said: "Thus, I suspect it is not aware of the revival at the North Sea Abyss of the Spiritual Senses of the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race."

Ying Zheng nodded, looked northward with his hands behind his back, and after a brief contemplation, said:

"Your Dragon Race has suppressed the seal for several ages, whether forced or otherwise, they probably find it hard to forget this animosity."

"Should I then go and help you eliminate them?"

Ying Zheng’s tone was indifferent, his gaze incredibly commanding, as if the fierce names of the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race were insignificant in his eyes.

"Forget it."

The Old Dragon King shook his head, refusing Ying Zheng’s goodwill, saying gravely: "Underneath the North Sea Abyss, there is another entity."

"It is very powerful, there is no need to take the risk."

"Another entity?" Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly, focusing on the Old Dragon King.

The Old Dragon King revealed an ancient name.

"Demon Master Kunpeng!"

"Demon Master Kunpeng?" Ying Zheng’s tone showed slight surprise: "It’s still alive..."

Demon Master Kunpeng is the world’s first Kunpeng, and in the Demon Race, it surpassed the Ten Great Saints, second only to the Demon Emperor Di Jun.

In fact, strong figures of that era were aware.

Aside from the River Map and Luo Book, Demon Master Kunpeng’s true strength was not inferior to that of the Demon Emperor Di Jun!

"It is rumored that in the Demon-Witch War, the reason Demon Emperor Di Jun was defeated and perished was that at the critical moment, the River Map and Luo Book were stolen by Demon Master Kunpeng."

"This incident, could it be..."

Ying Zheng looked intently at the Old Dragon King, his brow furrowed as he vaguely guessed something.

"Indeed, the River Map and Luo Book were taken by Demon Master Kunpeng, but they were also handed over to Kunpeng by Demon Emperor Di Jun himself."

"The so-called betrayal of Kunpeng and the theft of the River Map and Luo Book, leading to the fall of the Demon Emperor, was merely slander by the Demon Ancestor."

"There is only one reason Demon Emperor Di Jun fell."

"That is, something happened to the East Emperor Taiyi who became a Saint."

"Of course, only the parties involved would know the specific situation."

"The only thing I know is, upon realizing his fate, Demon Emperor Di Jun placed his hopes on the River Map, Luo Book, and Demon Master Kunpeng."

"Additionally, I suspect that the Ten Great Saints can revive beneath the North Sea Abyss like dead wood coming back to life."

"Demon Emperor Di Jun is also very likely to have his day of return!"

When mentioning this conjecture, the Old Dragon King’s eyes were incredibly serious, evidently not considering it an absurd guess.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng seemed thoughtful, and after a moment, he turned his back to face them, responding domineeringly: "This era, there will be an Emperor."

"Whether it’s Kunpeng or Di Jun, I alone am the sovereign of all beings!"
