In a nation dominated by overwhelming power, it can confidently traverse the Eight Desolations, simply by forming a neat square formation and crushing everything in its path.
The one responsible for all this is a being known as the Demon Monarch, a divine entity revered as the Demon Emperor of the Demon Kingdom, with countless tribes coming to pay homage and worship.
Even now, the Demon Monarch remains an object of worship for various races on the Wasteland Continent; he is their faith, and many places even have statues dedicated to him.
Ultimately, the downfall of the Demon Kingdom, which rose to great heights only to decline, was likely due to the retribution of the Dao. No matter how powerful one becomes, punishment is inevitable; how could the Dao allow you to grow strong enough to surpass it?
The Divine Medicine mentioned by Yuanmo Laozu is something that belongs entirely to the Demon Emperor and the Demon Monarch; it can heal all injuries. If Yuanmo Laozu were to obtain the Divine Medicine, he would be able to restore his strength to its peak condition.
"Yuanmo Laozu, where exactly is the Divine Medicine? Since you know so much about it, I assume you have some plans for what we should do next. I mean no offense; I, Lu Chen, intend to support you fully."
Lu Chen spoke slowly, his tone filled with trust in Yuanmo Laozu, implying clearly that obtaining the Divine Medicine was a certainty.
Yuanmo Laozu turned to meet Lu Chen's gaze. Both were young gentlemen, their eyes sharp and clear, sparking an invisible clash between them.
Then Yuanmo Laozu smiled lightly, seemingly acknowledging Lu Chen's intent. "I understand your meaning. I am very pleased that you can support me. However, obtaining the Divine Medicine is far from as simple as you imagine. The hardships involved are not something an ordinary person can endure. Have you thought this through?" Yuanmo Laozu looked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled dismissively and said, "No need to think it over, Yuanmo Laozu. Just speak plainly; I am very interested in your Divine Medicine."
Upon hearing this, Yuanmo Laozu fell silent for a long time before finally speaking again: "The Divine Medicine is located in the Thirteen Tombs of Demons. The Demon Thirteen Tombs are situated in the northern part of the Demon Kingdom, deep within the endless Chaos Realm. Since the founding of the first Demon Kingdom by its king and through thirteen successive Demon Emperors—starting with the Demon Monarch—there were others like Mao and Jiang. The ancestors of the Minotaur tribe were once demon generals in the Demon Kingdom, akin to high-ranking generals. To prevent anyone from stealing his tomb, the Demon Emperor chose to bury himself deep within the Chaos Realm."
The Demon Emperor feared that his tomb would be looted, so he selected a burial site deep within the Chaos Realm, where all twelve subsequent Demon Emperors were also interred.
As for the Divine Medicine mentioned by Yuanmo Laozu, it is likely buried alongside the Demon Emperor and resides within his tomb.
At this point, Yuanmo Laozu fell silent again for a long while before speaking: "The Chaos Realm is incredibly dangerous. It is called chaotic not only because one can easily lose their way inside but also because there are many formidable alien beings within it. To obtain the Divine Treasure Elixir will likely come at an enormous cost."
Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan frowned. The existence that could be called a strong person by Yuanmo Laozu must not be weak; at the very least, they should be a Void Immortal. Moreover, judging from Yuanmo Laozu's tone, there were actually quite a few strong individuals inside.
Yuanmo Laozu sighed lightly and said, "At this point, you must have many questions in your minds, such as why those guys are hiding inside to cultivate and not coming out. The Chaos Realm is vast beyond description; you can think of it as another world. Inside, besides dangers, there are also many opportunities. As far as I know, most Divine Gold Immortals choose tombs inside to build some mechanisms so that after an accidental fall, they can absorb their Soul thoughts back, hoping to rise again one day. Some weaker individuals might become super experts in one go if they encounter good fortune; it's full of miracles."
Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan nodded, both astonished by Yuanmo Laozu's insights. Listening to him made them realize that this world was not so simple. Besides the Central Plains and Wasteland Continent, there was also a vast area called the Chaos Realm in the northern part of the Wasteland Continent, where the dangers were indescribable.
All these mysterious and unknown lands connected together ultimately traced back to the Refining Era three thousand years ago.
"Another question is about the looting of the Demon Emperor's Tomb. Logically, it should have been excavated long ago; however, that's not the case. The Demon Thirteen Tombs are filled with mechanisms that ordinary experts cannot easily enter. Even at my peak, I couldn't come and go freely," Yuanmo Laozu said slowly.
The Demon Thirteen Tombs had stood for ten thousand years without collapsing, which naturally indicated their uniqueness; otherwise, they would have been looted long ago. The reason Yuanmo Laozu spoke about it with such caution was due to his concerns; otherwise, he would have gone alone to the Chaos Realm to dig it up.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan suddenly fell silent. If even Yuanmo Laozu at his peak couldn't enter the Demon Mausoleum, then their current thoughts of doing so felt like daydreaming.
Now they finally understood why Yuanmo Laozu had been hesitant and held no hope for Divine Medicine. If it could be easily obtained, he wouldn't need to come out; he would just take action directly.
To put it bluntly, treasures like Divine Medicine were not something Lu Chen and Yuanmo Laozu could compete for; there were plenty of experts in the Chaos Realm who would outshine them.
"Old Ancestor, since you are like this, you must have some ideas; it can't be for nothing," Lu Chen frowned. Since Yuanmo Laozu was in this state, he surely knew more about the situation.
"That's right," Yuanmo Laozu affirmed confidently. He clasped his hands behind his back and took a couple of steps forward with a profound demeanor.
"The construction structure of the Demon Thirteen Tombs is somewhat similar to the rotation and revolution of planets. It does not have a fixed location but moves randomly within the Chaos Realm. If one rashly approaches, they will not be able to find it at all. Only once every thousand years during its revolution will it appear at the original site where it was built—Goat Path Peak—once every thousand years."
The foundation of the Demon Thirteen Tombs is profound in its revolution; it reaches Goat Path Peak once every thousand years, and during other times, no one knows where the Demon Thirteen Tombs are located. Therefore, one should not even think about entering to collect Divine Medicine.
Hearing such a peculiar method, Lu Chen was taken aback. The entrance of the Yin Yang Gate was unknown to anyone; in fact, it was built on a similar principle, being completely unanchored most of the time, which is why no one knew about it.
Yuanmo Laozu continued to speak from within the room, "The next revolution of the Demon Thirteen Tombs will occur in three years. By then, if we head to Goat Path Peak, we should be able to witness it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan nodded initially, then began to calculate. In three years, the Demon Thirteen Tombs would descend upon Goat Path Peak. At that time, besides Lu Chen and Yuanmo Laozu, there would surely be other experts heading there as well.
Because apart from the Divine Medicine within the Demon Thirteen Tombs, there were countless treasures and artifacts. Anyone who knew this information would not let it slip by easily.
This included experts from the Hoofed Tribe such as the Minotaur, the Demon Sculptor, the Water Demon, and others currently on the Wasteland Continent. Of course, those extraordinary beings from the Chaos Realm would also join in the scramble.
To put it more bluntly, those beings in the Chaos Realm might be biding their time inside, accumulating strength for a sudden outburst, just waiting for the arrival of the Demon Thirteen Tombs.
So one could imagine how astonishing the scene would be when the Demon Thirteen Tombs descended upon Goat Path Peak.
Including people from Central Plains, Lu Chen's opponents would surely come to intervene if they were aware of matters concerning the Chaos Realm.
"Three years?" Lu Chen rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought, carefully considering in his mind.
It had been over four years since he escaped from the Western Seven States. If he added the three years mentioned by Yuanmo Laozu, that would make more than seven years—there wouldn’t be much time left before ten years passed.
The most important thing now was to develop his own strength and establish his kingdom because time was of the essence. If things were not handled well, the outbreak of war in Central Plains might come sooner than expected. If that happened, returning to Central Plains would be necessary; he could not let Sun Zizhao fight alone, nor could he match those opponents.
In this way, matters regarding the Demon Thirteen Tombs might miss their opportunity, making it truly difficult to grasp.
At this point, Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan had understood nearly everything; it all depended on how they would proceed from here.
Yuanmo Laozu had just healed, so they let him rest for a while. Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan said their temporary goodbyes and stepped outside.
Afterward, Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan arrived at a quiet cliff by the sea, where there was no one else around.
Lu Chen called Princess Zhulan over to discuss matters. Although the others were also Lu Chen's trusted aides, most of them only followed orders and lacked a broader understanding of the overall situation.
Thus, the only person who could engage in strategic discussions with Lu Chen was Princess Zhulan.
At this moment, Princess Zhulan wore a white dress, her hair elegantly styled with a white jade hairpin, enhancing her already beautiful face.
Lu Chen stood with her on the cliff as the sea breeze blew towards them, causing their robes to flutter.
"What are your thoughts, Princess?" Lu Chen asked.
Princess Zhulan pressed her pink lips together and replied, "The schedule for returning to the Central Plains can only be arranged earlier. I'm not sure what you think about it."
Lu Chen was slightly surprised and said, "The princess is indeed extraordinary; you have thought of the same thing as I have."
