Night.
Demon Palace Island.
In the grand and majestic Demon Lord Hall.
Eighteen Demon Marquis and five Elders from the Elder Hall gathered in neat rows, all solemnly watching Luo Xiu.
Just monts ago, Luo Xiu agreed to take them on a tour of the Shanhai Territory!
The thought of soon going to the Ancestral Land stirred great excitent among the Demon Marquis Elders, so much so that they wanted to urge Luo Xiu to hurry up.
Yet, Luo Xiu was casually drinking and bragging with Demon Lord and a few brothers, seemingly unhurried.
This truly made the demons impatient!
Finally.
In the agonizing wait of many Demon Marquis Elders, Luo Xiu finished his drink.
Luo Xiu's left eye flashed coldly, and the space within the hall began to twist, a spatial entrance quietly erging.
Shortly after.
Luo Xiu brought everyone to the Land of Lawlessness.
Along with the eighteen Demon Marquis and the Five Great Elders, Xiao Luanzi, Yao Ritian, Kuang Pi, and the Three Bandits of Thunder Swamp were also eager to visit Shanhai Territory.
Because everyone felt deeply nostalgic, just like in Du Fu's poems... they longed to see their holand.
After the calamity of bloodshed, they all thought they'd never return ho.
Now, with the holand so near, how could they not be eager?
…
At the clearing in front of the Green Lotus Palace's gate.
The Demon Marquis Elders looked up at the giant orb above the Land of Lawlessness, secretly comparing it to the illustrations in ancient texts, their eyes slowly tearing up.
"Indeed!"
"This matches the records from ancient texts, it's truly the Shanhai Territory—our Ancestral Land!"
The Great Elder trembled with excitent, suddenly pointing to a place on the giant orb and said, "That should be Kunlun Mountain, the Demon Lord's holand!"
The Second Elder pointed to another place, smiling, "And that red area should be Zhangwei Mountain!"
Pig Dragon's eyes sparkled suddenly, telling Tian Bang and Big Mouth beside him, "That should be Thunder Swamp, right? It's been so long since I've been back!"
Tian Bang and Big Mouth exchanged a glance, their faces lighting up with happy smiles.
Luo Xiu suddenly stepped forward, smiling to the gathered demons and said, "I know you're eager to go ho, so don't just stand there—co with for a tour."
Then.
Luo Xiu led the demons flying towards the Shanhai Territory.
At the mont they entered the Shanhai Territory, the demons seed to cross through space, inexplicably finding themselves at a certain place within Thunder Swamp.
Within Shanhai Territory, Luo Xiu was nearly like a god—not omnipotent, but capable of many feats.
No matter where to go, he only needed a thought.
Pig Dragon looked around the familiar surroundings in Thunder Swamp, feeling joy like a child of hundreds of pounds.
Tian Bang and Big Mouth squawked loudly, overwheld with excitent.
After strolling through Thunder Swamp for a while, with a single thought, Luo Xiu brought the demons to Zhangwei Mountain.
Then, he led the demons to Kunlun Mountain, Chongwu Mountain, Niaoyang Mountain, and other places, during which he acted like a dedicated guide.
Afterward, he brought everyone to the Nation of the Great at sea, and greeted Queen Chiyue of the Nation of the Great.
It had been a long ti since their last eting; Chiyue was more beautiful, less raw, more like a queen.
She chatted with Luo Xiu about Chi Sha, but until now, Luo Xiu hadn't any news about Chi Sha, making Chiyue very worried.
Leaving the Nation of the Great, Luo Xiu took the demons to the "Great Joy Field" to visit Black Fatty.
A long ti ago, by Luo Xiu's order, Black Fatty went to Shanhai Territory to organize the Demon Army, and now it had beco sizable.
With Queen Chiyue's support, the Demon Army Base was established in the Great Joy Field.
"Crown Prince, a full two hundred thousand Demon Army, tell , isn't that aweso?"
Luo Xiu reached out and touched Black Fatty's head, overlooking the dark mass below the Hundred-zhang Cliff, feeling an unending sense of awe.
"You've done very well."
Black Fatty asked, "Am I more useful than Lao Ba, that old black chicken?"
Luo Xiu chuckled, "Definitely, Lao Ba is just a braggart."
Black Fatty asked, "Speaking of Lao Ba, what's that braggart up to these days? Why isn't he with you, Crown Prince?"
Luo Xiu said, "It went to Wutongzhou."
"I see."
Luo Xiu's lips curled slightly upward, "Soon, I'll find a chance to train our Demon Army."
Black Fatty said, "Always ready!"
Luo Xiu's expression turned peculiar, "Who taught you to say that?"
Black Fatty thought for a mont, "I think it was Sister Dou, not sure, maybe Sister Hua, or Xia Chan?"
Luo Xiu shook his head with a laugh, "You should go out more, don't always stay here."
"Going out is so boring, it's more fun training my Demon Army here."
"Besides, the Shanhai Territory is rich in Spiritual Energy, it's a Cultivation Blessed Land, I hate to leave."
"…"
…
When leaving the Shanhai Territory and returning to the Demon Domain, night was already deep.
But the drinks weren't finished yet.
Luo Xiu joined the demons at a table, drinking enthusiastically, eating heartily, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
As they ate, Xiao Luanzi suddenly gave Luo Xiu a aningful look.
Luo Xiu understood, then looked to the Great Elder and asked directly, "By the way, Great Elder, where is the Demon Emperor's Treasury?"
The Great Elder was startled by the question but soon answered truthfully, "Reporting to the Divine Lord, the Demon Emperor's Treasury is located in the Two Shores Gorge. Like the Demon God Pool, the Two Shores Gorge is also a forbidden area of our Demon Domain."
Luo Xiu grinned at him, "Then tell , does Demon Lord and I have the right to go?"
The Great Elder was drenched in sweat, quickly replied, "Divine Lord, you jest. Anywhere in the Demon Domain, you and the Demon Lord have the right to go."
"…"
…
The next day.
Early in the morning, the Great Elder led Luo Xiu and Xiao Luanzi to the Two Shores Gorge.
The so-called Demon Emperor's Treasury is the abode used by the Demon Emperor for secluded cultivation, deep within the Two Shores Gorge.
At the entrance to the cave.
The Great Elder stopped and respectfully bowed, saying, "Your Majesties, here lies the Demon Emperor's Treasury."
Luo Xiu privately released Divine Sense, discovering a powerful barrier enchantnt on the stone gate before him, his Divine Sense unable to penetrate.
He suddenly asked, "Have you all ever entered over the years?"
The Great Elder promptly replied, "Certainly not, for only the Demon Lord's bloodline can open the Treasury. Furthermore, we do not have the right to step inside."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu glanced at Xiao Luanzi.
Xiao Luanzi took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Not long after.
The heavy stone gate slowly opened, Xiao Luanzi turned back to Luo Xiu, joyfully said, "Boss, it worked!"
The Great Elder hastily bowed, "I won't disturb Your Majesties, I'll take my leave now."
Shortly.
Once the Great Elder left, Luo Xiu and Xiao Luanzi shared a look, entering the door with a mixture of unease.
Luo Xiu suddenly said, "Actually, I'm here with a purpose."
Xiao Luanzi generously waved his hand, "Boss, don't be so formal. Without you, that old fellow wouldn't have brought here. Anyway, what's mine is yours, take whatever you find you like."
Luo Xiu smiled, and said truthfully, "Before coming, Master Ping told to learn the Demon Emperor's Innate Divine Ability."
Xiao Luanzi was surprised, "Boss, are you talking about 'Demon Heaven's Lift'?"
Luo Xiu nodded.
Xiao Luanzi said, "If you learn that thing, that would be incredible! I've seen it on murals before… Such a skill can lift the heavens themselves!"
