The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Yuming Mountain is located tens of thousands of miles away in the southern border of the Yuling Sect.

Legend has it that when the Heavenly Court collapsed, fragments of the Jade Emperor's Palace fell here, illuminating the valley all night for ten thousand years before gradually fading in recent years.

Yuming Mountain got its name from this.

A thousand years ago, the Demon Emperor personally visited this place to investigate. After returning to the Yuling Sect, he informed the Demon General Pulao that the ancestral legacy of Pulao was hidden here.

Even though the demon general Pulao was overjoyed upon hearing the news, he had prepared for this day before daring to come here to search for his ancestral legacy.

Chu Xiu's figure first appeared high in the sky above the Yuming Mountain valley.

The Demon General Pulao was extremely cautious, only revealing himself after Chu Xiu's high-profile appearance had gone unnoticed for several dozen breaths.

Chu Xiu found it somewhat amusing and asked, "Does the Commander intend to venture out alone, excluding me, on this trip?"

General Pu Lao shook his head. "That inheritance is located in a secret realm deep within Jade Bright Mountain."

"Previously, His Majesty ventured into this secret realm alone to explore it, and used his divine sense to create a relatively complete map of the realm,"

"Years ago, I also used this map to explore the outer perimeter of the secret realm, but because the interior of the secret realm is so complex, I almost got trapped inside and couldn't escape!"

At this point, Demon General Pulao sighed, "My previous ten demon generals all perished in the perilous secret realm in order to protect me and allow me to leave!"

Chu Xiu frowned upon hearing this: "Even a demon general at the late stage of the Qiankun Realm couldn't escape this perilous situation..."

The demon general Pu Lao nodded heavily: "Moreover, perhaps it's not just that..."

"When His Majesty bestowed the map of the secret realm upon me, he gave me a word of advice..."

"My ancestor was very likely trapped and died deep within this secret realm after being severely injured!"

"And in his lifetime, he was a supreme being!"

Chu Xiu frowned and said, "If the Demon Emperor's guess is correct, how could you and I possibly escape that dangerous situation?"

"Brother Chu need not worry about that."

Pulao Demon General smiled slightly: "As long as Brother Chu helps me obtain the ancestral inheritance, I have a secret method that will allow me to safely bring Brother Chu out, even if we are in danger!"

"Is it……"

Chu Xiu suddenly pressed down with his palm towards the location of the demon general Pu Lao.

Pulao Demon General immediately felt the space within a few meters around him being instantly sealed off, and the one who made the move was Chu Xiu.

"Brother Chu, what do you mean by this?" General Pu Lao asked, frowning.

Chu Xiu smiled slightly: "General, why don't you demonstrate that so-called secret technique to me first, so that I have a better understanding of it? That way, I can better assist you, wouldn't you say?"

Pu Laoyao laughed heartily, but there was nothing he could do.

The next second, his body suddenly trembled violently, then vanished into thin air and appeared behind Chu Xiu in the blink of an eye.

Chu Xiu frowned, reached out and clenched his fist, shattering the invisible binding prison.

It seems this is not a smokescreen.

Pulao Demon General does indeed possess a secret technique similar to traversing space, and it is more advanced than the techniques Chu Xiu had studied.

Chu Xiu's spatial magic has become ineffective since he arrived here due to the different laws of Heaven.

The fact that the Demon General Pu Lao had shown such a skill actually made Chu Xiu quite interested in his spatial secret technique.

The demon general Pu Lao seemed to have noticed Chu Xiu's interest and said with a smile, "This secret technique was obtained from His Majesty at the cost of a lot of military merits. If this trip goes smoothly, I will ask His Majesty to lend you this secret technique to study."

"No problem, no problem." Chu Xiu smiled happily.

The demon general Pu Lao tossed over a jade slip.

"This is the map of the secret realm. You may take a look at it first."

Pulao Demon General looked down into the canyon.

"There are some preparations to be made before entering the secret realm."

Chu Xiu followed his gaze downwards and saw that the ten demon generals under the command of Pulao Demon General were all here, working together to set up a huge magic array that blocked sight and sound.

Chu Xiu crushed the jade slip, and a red light flashed into his brow. Immediately afterwards, a vast map of a different plane appeared in his mind.

The various markings on the map are extremely detailed, and it must have been supplemented by the Demon General Pulao and his previous demon generals at the cost of their lives, based on the map drawn by the Demon Emperor.

This means their trip will be relatively safe and easy.

Soon, Chu Xiu's attention was drawn to a maze at the very top of the northernmost point on the map.

That was their purpose for this trip: the Fallen God Palace!

Chu Xiu frowned. Even though this was the first time he had seen the Fallen God Palace, it gave him a very familiar feeling.

This feeling comes from the depths of my blood.

"A fallen god... Could it be an ancient god who has fallen?"

Chu Xiu suppressed his suspicions and asked the demon general Pulao, "Is there anything we should be careful about in this Fallen God Palace?"

Pulao Demon General shook his head: "I have never been here, so I have no way of knowing."

Chu Xiu frowned. He was unwilling to risk his life to investigate the unknown dangers.

But at this moment, the demon general Pu Lao offered another tempting deal:

"All I know is that the Fallen God Palace is the burial place of an ancient god!"

That's true!

The burial place of ancient gods!

If he could obtain the inheritance of another ancient god, his cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds once again!

Chu Xiu suppressed his excitement and calmly said, "Fine, since I've already received the reward, why not take the risk with you?"

Pulao Demon Commander laughed loudly, "Brother Chu is straightforward! Don't worry, if there is any danger to your life, I will definitely send you out of the secret realm safely as soon as possible!"

At that moment, the lower magic array had already taken shape.

The ten demon generals under the command of Pulao Demon General arrived one after another behind him and bowed to Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu nodded, acknowledging the respect shown by the demon generals.

"Let's go, it's time to enter the secret realm!"

"My capable subordinates will guard the outside of the secret realm to prevent other demon generals or demon commanders from discovering this place."

Pulao Demon General took the lead and flew towards the canyon below, with Chu Xiu following closely behind.

Having descended less than a thousand meters, Chu Xiu sensed that the surrounding environment had changed and become distorted, as if it no longer belonged to the same plane as the outside world.

"So we've entered the secret realm?" Chu Xiu asked.

The demon general Pulao, flying beside him, nodded: "The laws of heaven and earth in this secret realm are extremely complete and will not affect our strength."

However, caution is still advised. This place has existed for a considerable time, teeming with demonic creatures, and their strength should not be underestimated!

Before the demon general Pu Lao could finish speaking, the two sensed an extremely obvious killing intent rushing towards them without any attempt to conceal it.

The demon general Pu Lao sneered: "You're courting death!"

His figure suddenly accelerated, and he crashed into the source of the killing intent, smashing the physical body of a late-stage Qiankun Realm demon to pieces.

What a strong body!

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow. This Demon General Pulao's physical cultivation was probably not much weaker than his own Yinglong Body.

At that moment, a blinding light flashed, forcing the two to close their eyes tightly. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a deep mountain forest.

"This is the inside of the secret realm!" Pulao Demon General shook off the demon blood and flesh that clung to his body and came to Chu Xiu's side.

Chu Xiu closed his eyes and probed with his divine sense, only to find that his divine soul power could only spread to a radius of 100 meters. It seemed that he was restricted by an invisible force and could not fully exert his divine soul power.

"Don't waste your energy. The laws of heaven and earth here restrict the use of divine soul power. Only by getting closer to that Fallen God Palace can you gradually get rid of this suppression of the heavenly way."

Pulao Demon General pointed to the due north, where the dazzling star palace could still be seen with the naked eye even from tens of thousands of miles away.

It seems that the entire secret realm's daytime is illuminated by this star palace.

"That is... the Fallen God Palace?" Chu Xiu murmured.

The Fallen God Palace is actually a complete, burning star!
