Danwu God Emperor

The macaque leaped up and down the cliffs, its speed unstoppable, and soon it disappeared from their sight.

"Let's go down too," Ye Lou said calmly, pulling out the steel sword from the cliff face. He then lowered down in a straight line with Mu Wanrou in his arms. The wind whistled past their ears, and with a clang, the sword plunged back into the cliff, sparks flying.

There is absolutely no way to get out of here by returning the way we came. The stone statue guarding the cave entrance is extremely terrifying. It is simply a pipe dream to try to escape from its giant hammer.

However, the cliff was much higher than he had imagined, and he didn't know how deep he had descended. Every time Ye Lou descended a section of the cliff, he would carefully look around. Even though he had increased his speed, he still couldn't see the figure of the Tongbei Monkey.

However, they gradually came to see what was below, which turned out to be a blanket of smog. This puzzled the two of them, as they were at the bottom of a cave, so how could there be smog?

Ye Lou picked her up and leaped into the air. The two of them passed through the smog, as if passing through a barrier. Their bodies trembled involuntarily, and they looked bewildered. They thought there would be a great distance ahead, but they didn't expect it to be only a hundred meters high.

The following scene, in particular, is one that the two of them will never forget in their lives; the shocking sight is simply indescribable.

"This, this...!"

Ye Lou was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Below the cliff, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, the gentle breeze, and the sound of flowing water. It was a scene full of life, like a fairyland, completely different from the scene in the stone cave. It was a world apart from the one inside.

Moreover, the energy of heaven and earth here is harmonious and endless, with layers upon layers. It has not only the majestic power of ocean waves crashing against the shore, but also the gentle warmth of a babbling brook. Ye Lou felt that every second of his breathing and respiration was undergoing a qualitative change.

Undeniably, the spiritual energy here is several times purer than that outside, making it an absolute treasure trove for cultivation.

But this wasn't what shocked him the most. What truly shocked him was a wooden bridge in front of him, beneath which flowed a still, dead river, with countless skeletons floating on its surface—hundreds of times more than those in the stone cave.

Black mist shrouded the Dead River, and countless mournful cries echoed in the sky, their lamentations shaking heaven and earth.

Across the river stood an ancient tower, soaring straight into the sky, like atop a sacred mountain. Through the haze above, a chilling black aura emanated from it, terrifying beyond compare. Yet, Ye Lou could vaguely sense a familiar aura—the aura of demonic will.

He didn't know why there was a demonic aura in the ancient tower, and it was so pure that it was almost identical to the Great Evolution Ten Thousand Demon Scripture. This was a true demon, not a demon like Ye Cheng'an's, which was cultivated through techniques.

Ye Lou couldn't even imagine how terrifying this place really was!

The place beneath my feet is like a fairyland on earth, with exotic flowers and rare herbs vying for beauty. Thousands of rays of light illuminate this fairyland, which is like a small world of its own. If it were to go through hundreds of millions of years of changes in the sea and land, it would probably break the ancient laws, destroy the order of heaven and earth, and reverse the way of heaven, earth and humanity, thus creating a great world.

In the middle was a dead river, covered with millions of skeletons, a terrifying and eerie sight. There were also mournful cries echoing in the sky. The deathly atmosphere made it hard to breathe. It was hard to imagine what kind of great battle had taken place here to cause so many martial artists to perish.

What exactly is the allure of the ancient tower opposite that makes them flock to it? The demonic will there is terrifying. Ye Lou believes that even if they cross the River of Death on the wooden bridge, they will certainly not be able to withstand the erosion of the demonic will. At best, they will suffer from demonic possession; at worst, they will die on the spot.

The three scenes, though only a stone's throw apart, seem to have reached a balance, not encroaching on each other, and together forming this complete world.

"Glory City actually has such a secret realm! Do you know what this place is?" Mu Wanrou exclaimed in amazement. She had seen a lot of things, but seeing this scene before her, she could hardly calm the shock in her heart.

Ye Lou shook his head. "I don't know either, it must have been done by someone."

"How did you know?" Mu Wanrou asked, tilting her head.

"Look at the stone statue at the cave entrance and the barrier above. It seems to be preventing these people from going to the ancient tower. It must have been set up by a supreme being. As for how dangerous the ancient tower is, we have no idea. In short, let's not dream about it," Ye Lou said with a wry smile.

"At least you have some self-awareness." Mu Wanrou rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Ye Lou was truly at a loss for words. Although he had been somewhat reckless before, he wasn't stupid. Clearly, the situation before him was beyond his level of understanding, so of course he wouldn't take the risk. This little girl seemed to be worrying too much.

Ye Lou lifted a huge rock and threw it toward the middle of the wooden bridge. Just as it reached the bridgehead, a strong gust of wind swept out and crushed the rock into powder. There was no roaring sound, no overwhelming force, and it was as if nothing had happened.

The two were dumbfounded; it turned out that the wooden bridge was the most terrifying place.

The wooden bridge was eerily quiet; who knows how many people have died on it, leaving not even a trace of their bones.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Wife!" The call of the macaque came from afar, startling the two. It hopped over, its face beaming with joy. "I found a path over there; it should be the exit."

It turns out that after the macaques came down, they went to find a way out.

"Let's go quickly, it's too dangerous here." Mu Wanrou was worried that Ye Lou wouldn't be able to resist the temptation on the other side, so she couldn't help but urge him on.

"Okay, let's go." Ye Lou didn't hesitate at all. He wasn't the kind of person who was greedy. He had already gained enough this time. He obtained the Dark Ancient Dew and was promoted to a second-grade alchemist. His biggest gain was refining the Earth Guide.

What's more, it was the Ice Soul Divine Seal that had devoured the light of life, a supreme treasure. Thinking back on it now, I still feel quite excited.

Moreover, this secret realm is extremely hidden, and even martial artists at the Spirit Transformation Realm would probably find it difficult to pass through. I believe it won't be discovered so easily. It won't be too late to come back and explore the mysteries of that ancient tower when my strength is sufficient.

The monkey led the two along the river, where piles of corpses never stopped. No one knew how many people had died here. The ancient pagoda, which was gradually receding into the distance, still stood there. No one knew who would step over these piles of white bones to enter the pagoda and obtain the supreme treasure.

The journey was not only long, but also encircled by a barrier. Ye Lou knew nothing about formations, and they wandered around in circles for most of the day before finally emerging from the barrier.

What's even stranger is that the place they came out of was actually the entrance to the stone cave they went into.

"What's going on?" Ye Lou and Mu Wanrou looked back, but no matter which way they tried to go back into the barrier, there was no response. They immediately realized that the secret realm was surrounded by a barrier, and there was only one entrance, which was below the cliff. Other places were only accessible from the outside, not from the inside.

However, this is also good, as it gives Ye Lou more time to return. Although he really wants to continue improving his strength, it has been a week since he left Wushan Town, and he doesn't know what changes have occurred in the Ye family.

"Tongbeihou, take me to Yunshui Town. I need to investigate something," Ye Lou instructed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The monkey nodded.

The monkey led the two for almost half a day, encountering many spirit beasts along the way. They all seemed to have a friendly relationship with the monkey, and even introduced some spirit beasts they had never seen before to Ye Lou and his companion. It seemed that the old monkey had quite a good rapport with spirit beasts.

Ye Lou was now wondering if he could just roam freely in this area.

After dropping the two off at the entrance of Yunshui Town, the Tongbei Monkey stopped following. It was extremely dangerous for spirit beasts to enter human circles, as the high price their inner cores could fetch was very attractive.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Wife, I won't see you off." The monkey with the long back stood there, looking reluctant to part.

Mu Wanrou and Ye Lou were both amused and exasperated. The name sounded increasingly awkward, but they didn't dwell on it too much, taking it as Tongbeihou's recognition of them. Ye Lou smiled and said, "Why do you look like you're saying goodbye for the rest of your life? Go back and guard that place well. After I've finished investigating here, I might need to ask you for help."

The macaque's expression changed, and it immediately jumped up and down with joy. "I will definitely wait for the King and Queen to return."

"Go!"

The macaque circled around a few more times before turning and running away, its figure disappearing into the jungle.

"This macaque is quite interesting. It seems to really regard you as its king." Mu Wanrou covered her mouth and laughed, her silvery laughter was very pleasant.

"Aren't you also the Queen's wife?" Ye Lou said with a smile.

Mu Wanrou chuckled and rolled her eyes at Ye Lou. "Who wants to be your wife? You're so vain."

After saying that, he ran towards the town. The girl was still shy. Ye Lou shook his head and smiled wryly. Walking beside her, he formed a beautiful scene. Although Ye Lou was not handsome, he was still sunny and dashing.

Mu Wanrou, needless to say, could stir hearts with every smile and frown. Moreover, she was now acting like a shy little woman, causing passing men to stop in their tracks. Some even turned around and followed behind them, forming a sizable group.

This was a real problem for Ye Lou. Most men knew that there were bound to be flies next to beautiful women, but Ye Lou's fly was of unknown origin, so many didn't dare to swat it. However, they knew that sooner or later someone would go up and swat it.

Ye Lou turned his head and looked at Mu Wanrou with a resentful gaze, feeling extremely helpless.

He wasn't afraid of trouble, but he didn't want to cause any. Compared to how he acted in front of Mu Wanrou, he was different from most men. He preferred to keep a low profile. Although Yunshui Town was a second-class town, with his current strength, the young talents of the town were no match for him.

Ye Lou's current target is the prodigy of Glory City.

puff!

Mu Wanrou immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but laugh. She had been with Ye Lou for so long, and she knew his personality all too well. But with him by her side, it would be difficult to keep a low profile.

Seeing the elegantly dressed young man approaching, Mu Wanrou smiled and winked at Ye Lou, as if to say, "It's your turn."
