Chapter 1380: Deep Abyss

Seeing Wu Liang staring blankly, the Demon Emperor said coldly, "Don't tell me you can't find the entrance?"

"I can find it, I can find it." Wu Liang, as if waking from a dream, replied quickly. In truth, although he had some suspicions, he wasn't entirely sure. But at that moment, even if he wasn't certain, he had to act as if he was. So he took out a compass, started making calculations with his fingers, and led the way while observing.

The Demon Emperor signaled for the rest to follow. As for Yan, Yun, and Yu, he didn't place any restrictions on them; they were all seriously injured at the moment, and in front of him, an Earth Immortal, placing or not placing restrictions made no difference. On the other hand, Zaun was somewhat inscrutable to him. Although Zaun had defeated the Crown Prince several times, the Crown Prince was the Crown Prince, and Zaun was Zaun. Zaun's cultivation was clearly not high, yet the Demon Emperor vaguely felt a sense of threat from him. He couldn't understand why an heroic soul realm cultivator who had just entered the Grandmaster level would pose a threat to him, an Earth Immortal. However, he wasn't one to be careless, so he casually cast a puppet curse on Zaun to ensure everything was foolproof.

At this point, the three women gathered around Zaun, their faces filled with worry, and whispered, "What should we do?" Zaun glanced at the Demon Emperor's back and said, "Just follow him to the Unknowable Land." The women were somewhat surprised by his openness. In this situation, they saw no hope and were feeling apprehensive, but they were infected by his calmness and gradually settled down. Even Yun Jianyue now admired him a little. He was indeed a rare hero in the world, and the man Hong Lei chose was truly excellent. Yan Xuehen's gaze towards Zaun also drifted, and she seemed lost in thought. Suddenly, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly looked away.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor's voice came: "Leader Yun, I heard you had a confrontation with Zhao Hao some time ago? Are your current injuries from that encounter?" Even though Yun Jianyue was usually arrogant and often boasted in front of Yan Xuehen, being asked this by a true Earth Immortal made her face feel hot: "To say we 'exchanged blows' would be overstating my worth. Zhao Hao didn't even show his face then; he just injured me with a single move from afar..." As for how she got her current injuries, she didn't deliberately explain, letting him mistakenly believe they were also from Zhao Hao.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince secretly curled his lips. This so-called Demon Sect Leader sounded impressive, but it turned out she was just a weakling. Wu Liang, who was scouting ahead, secretly clicked his tongue, thinking it was no wonder he always found this woman somewhat formidable, given her past experience. He admired Zaun even more.

"To survive a single strike from Zhao Hao, Leader Yun's cultivation is certainly something to be proud of." The Demon Emperor showed no disdain; instead, his tone was full of praise. The Golden Crow Crown Prince was somewhat unconvinced. If she couldn't even withstand one move, what was there to boast about? He just took it as his father's polite remarks. In recent years, he had been hailed as the foremost among the younger generation of the demon race, his cultivation level catching up to masters of the previous generation. Coupled with being the recognized next Demon Emperor, his arrogance was extraordinary. Except for suffering several major defeats at Zaun's hands, he had sufficient confidence against everyone else.

Next, the Demon Emperor began asking Yun Jianyue for details about that battle. Yun Jianyue slightly frowned, knowing he wanted to use this opportunity to probe Zhao Hao's current strength. She initially wanted to fabricate some details to avoid leaking information, but then she thought, such a deception might not fool an Earth Immortal, and what was there about that dog emperor that warranted her partiality? So she described the situation at the time truthfully, from beginning to end.

The Demon Emperor listened very carefully, even interrupting her specifically to ask for some details. After listening, he was speechless for a long time before finally sighing, "Many years have passed, and Zhao Hao's cultivation has advanced significantly." The Golden Crow Crown Prince was startled. Why did his father's tone sound like he was boosting someone else's morale and diminishing his own prestige? Could it be that he believed he couldn't defeat the Human Emperor?

At this point, the Demon Emperor sighed deeply: "Alas, heaven doesn't grant enough years. In this life, I'm afraid I won't have another chance to fight Zhao Hao again." His tone was full of the lament of a hero in decline. Although they were on opposing sides, Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue, as Grandmasters, could deeply understand that feeling of loneliness.

"Father Emperor is in the prime of his life and will surely live for ten thousand years," the Demon Prince quickly flattered. "Do you truly wish for me to live for ten thousand years?" the Demon Emperor glanced at him with a half-smile. The Golden Crow Crown Prince was startled: "Father Emperor, what are you saying? Your benevolence towards me is as vast as a mountain; naturally, I wish you could live as long as possible."

The Demon Emperor remained silent. Since ancient times, the relationship between an emperor and a crown prince has been that of father and son, ruler and subject, and also one of competition. How to ensure that the crown prince has the ability and a solid foundation to take over the empire, while also not posing an early threat to the emperor's own throne, is an immense challenge. Therefore, the relationship between emperors and crown princes throughout history has often not been very good. However, his relationship with the Crown Prince was somewhat an exception. Firstly, his cultivation was too high, so the Crown Prince had always been very submissive. Secondly, he was old, and the days of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man were approaching, so the father and son didn't need to scheme against each other as much. But once he obtained the method of immortality in the Unknowable Land, the relationship between father and son would certainly not be the same as before. The Golden Crow Crown Prince was also anxious. It was uncertain if the method of immortality could be found in the Unknowable Land, and if he offended his father now, and the emperor ended up passing the throne to his second brother, it would be a huge loss.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Fortunately, Wu Liang's voice broke the silence: "I... I found the entrance." At this moment, everyone had arrived in front of a pond or lake. "It should be underwater." Seeing the Demon Emperor frown, Wu Liang quickly added. Zaun asked doubtfully, "Are you sure it's here? We just checked underwater." "Then was then, and now is now," Wu Liang said. "The recent changes in heaven and earth have altered the layout within the imperial tomb. It's perfectly normal for the entrance to the Unknowable Land to appear underwater. Many tombs use similar mechanisms, but none are as grand as this."

The Demon Emperor motioned to Zaun: "Go down and investigate." He was worried Wu Liang might play a trick, so he sent the cannon fodder down to scout ahead. Zaun didn't refuse; he also genuinely wanted to explore the Unknowable Land. After jumping into the water, he quickly sank.

The Demon Emperor on the bank exclaimed in surprise, "This young man isn't of the sea race, yet his water manipulation skills are so proficient." The three women's faces flushed slightly at the same time. They had all been crammed with Zaun inside the water bubble created by Blue Duck underwater, a situation that could truly be described as intimate.

Not long after, there was a splash, and Zaun leaped out: "There seems to be something like a portal at the bottom of the lake, which should be the entrance to the Unknowable Land. I'll take you down. Perhaps due to the sudden appearance of the Unknowable Land, the water inside is very turbulent, with various undercurrents. Everyone be careful and make sure not to get separated."

"No need for such trouble," the Demon Emperor asked him for the exact location of the entrance, then casually waved his hand. The vast lake surface was instantly split in two, the water on both sides parting to reveal a wide path. Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Splitting such a large lake in two, and crucially, the Demon Emperor did it with a casual wave as if effortlessly, truly showed the unfathomable strength of an Earth Immortal.

As the lake water parted, at the bottom of the lake, there was a crucial luminous circle, resembling a whirlpool, with faint blue light flickering continuously. Its center was profoundly dark. Everyone gathered around the luminous circle. Having visited many secret realms before, they were naturally familiar with such spacetime tunnels. However, the secret realms they usually visited were already explored and confirmed safe. This kind of unfamiliar spacetime tunnel could very likely be filled with destructive power; terrifying spacetime storms inside could tear a person into shreds instantly upon entry.

The Demon Emperor casually flicked his sleeve, and a rope appeared from it, wrapping around Zaun's waist. Before Zaun could react, he was directly pushed into the whirlpool.

Some people died, but not completely...

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving. Confusion, bewilderment, various emotions surged in his mind.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, becoming even more bewildered. A single dorm room? Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room now. And his body... how could it have no injuries at all?

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally resting on a mirror on the bedside table. The mirror showed his current appearance: around seventeen or eighteen years old, and very handsome. His previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary demeanor, who had been working for some time. But now, this appearance looked like nothing more than a high school student's age... This change left Shi Yu in a daze for a long time. Don't tell him the surgery was a success... His body and appearance had both changed; this wasn't a matter of surgery at all, but rather immortal arts. He had completely turned into another person! Could it be... that he had transmigrated?

Besides the mirror on the bedside table, which was clearly in a bad feng shui position, Shi Yu also found three books nearby. Shi Yu picked them up and saw the titles, which instantly silenced him.

"Beginner Breeder's Essential Beast Rearing Manual""Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts""Guide to Appreciating Beast-Eared Girls of Different Races"

Shi Yu: ???

The first two book titles seemed normal, but what was up with the last one?

"Cough." Shi Yu's gaze sharpened, and he reached out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened. Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain was suddenly pierced with pain, and a flood of memories surged forth.
