289: Experience points are everywhere! Inner Sea, Heavenly Saint!

"Plans?"

When Shen Tianxing first came to the Sea of Buried Demons, it was entirely to harvest experience points, improve his cultivation, and refine the Blood Soul Demonic Seal.

And the result, naturally, did not disappoint Shen Tianxing.

In these past few months in the Outer Sea, the Sea of Buried Demons could be said to be a Holy Land for Shen Tianxing!

Experience points were everywhere!

Now, his cultivation had already entered the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, directly reaching the third level of Heavenly Phenomenon, and the Blood Soul Demonic Seal was also refined, eliminating any threat to his life. What should he do next?

To be honest, Shen Tianxing hadn't thought about leaving just like that!

If there were no opponents in the Outer Sea, then he would go to the Inner Sea!

Even if the Inner Sea didn't have forces far superior to the Outer Sea, the fact that the Qi Mo Sect was an affiliated Sect of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect was enough for Shen Tianxing to make a trip.

But before that, he needed to figure out why Xing Yao appeared in the Sea of Buried Demons.

"Xing Yao, weren't you in the Imperial City? Why did you suddenly come to the Outer Sea? Has something changed in Great Qi?"

The Empress's help to Shen Tianxing was self-evident; without the imperial edict she bestowed, dealing with Mu Xuan of the Divine Profound Mansion back then would likely not have been enough.

The Divine Profound Mansion Mansion Master's Dharma Idol in his opponent's hands was truly terrifying!

If something had truly happened to the Empress, Shen Tianxing naturally couldn't stand idly by. Great Qi had left him with many memories, and many people and old acquaintances he cared about were there.

"I came to the Sea of Buried Demons for Miss Mingyue!"

As she spoke, Xing Yao sighed softly.

Hmm?

Mingyue… also came to the Sea of Buried Demons?

Shen Tianxing's expression changed. Su Mingyue could be said to be one of the few people he genuinely cared about in the Great Qi Dynasty, and she was the most precious emotional experience he had during his five years in Great Qi!

He recalled that when he inherited his master Shen Nian's Executioner profession, neighbors would avoid him like the plague. Only Old Man Su and Su Mingyue treated him as they always had.

Moreover, to find medicinal herbs for his cultivation, they didn't hesitate to traverse mountains and valleys, enduring rain and sun. Shen Tianxing could never forget such kindness!

This was why he had broken into the city gates at night, assuming the identity of the Empress's Executioner.

Later, the two pledged their love, agreeing to meet again in the Imperial City!

After Su Mingyue was sent back to the Imperial City, she was kept by the Empress to be taught cultivation methods. He didn't expect that after several months of separation, she would disappear!

"What happened? Why would she suddenly come to the Sea of Buried Demons? Is this a place she can come to?"

Seeing that Shen Tianxing was not angry, Xing Yao finally spoke, saying, "Miss Mingyue accidentally overheard a conversation between His Majesty and me. She left a message for His Majesty and departed alone. She came to the Sea of Buried Demons to find you."

"His Majesty was worried and specifically sent me to find her..."

Xing Yao recounted her experiences during this period in detail, including how she fell into the hands of Holy Son Fufeng.

Finally, she mentioned the Moon Demon Forbidden Land!

"You mean, Mingyue entered that so-called Moon Demon Forbidden Land and never reappeared, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Tianxing actually relaxed a little.

If she had fallen into someone else's hands, he might have to worry a bit, but if she had trespassed into some Forbidden Ground, then it was a matter of fate!

Su Mingyue possessed the Myriad Ages Yin Demon Physique; it was no exaggeration to say that she herself carried Luck. Falling into a Forbidden Ground might even lead to other opportunities.

But talking about these now was too soon; only by finding her could he truly be at ease.

"Let's go to the Moon Demon Forbidden Land first. There might be clues."

Shen Tianxing decided to head to the Moon Demon Sea Region.

This place was not the first time he had heard of it. The so-called Moon Demon Forbidden Land was a general term!

In those years, the great power of the Azure Dragon Clan slew numerous demons in this Sea of Buried Demons, and the Moon Demon lineage was one of them. However, it wasn't just the demons of the Moon Demon lineage buried there.

Many other powerful demons also perished there!

With matters here concluded, Shen Tianxing took Liu Xianyun, Xing Yao, Liu Yueying, and Li Tongshen, boarded the flying boat, and headed towards the Moon Demon Forbidden Land.

The former Dragon Island had now turned into nothingness. Countless Cultivators who came here all perished within it, though most of them primarily died at Shen Tianxing's hands.

Everything here seemed as if it had never existed. Even if someone came again later, it would be impossible to wait for the Azure Dragon Secret Realm to open again... Inner Sea, Dark Abyss!

This was a famous Forbidden Ground in the Inner Sea. Everyone knew that this place belonged to the Qi Mo Sect, the largest Sect in the Sea of Buried Demons!

Black palaces stood one after another, the sky was dim, and the blood-colored moonlight enveloped this boundless abyss, like a fortress in the abyss!

No outsiders had ever been able to set foot here, because it belonged to a branch of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, one of the largest Sects in the Northern Wilderness!

The Sect Master of the Qi Mo Sect was an Elder from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect's inner Sect. The Cultivators under him were the strongest existences in the Sea of Buried Demons, and the talented Disciples within the Sect all came from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect!

The Holy Heaven Demon Sect had coveted the Sea of Buried Demons for many years. If it weren't for the powerful experts from the other Three Halls, Six Mansions, and Twelve Caves in the Eastern Continent, Southern Region, and Western Ridge, their plans would have succeeded long ago!

Even though they didn't get their wish, the current Qi Mo Sect was still the largest Sect in the Inner Sea, the pinnacle of all top forces, and the visible authority figure. With a single command from it, other Sects would also show some deference!

Inside a massive black palace, the Qi Mo Sect Master sat high on the main seat of the palace. The surrounding walls were carved with numerous bas-reliefs, each representing the glory of the Demon Sect!

Gao Tianwu, as one of the three Grand Elders of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect's inner Sect, had achieved the Golden Body Realm many years ago and possessed terrifying strength!

It was precisely because of this that he was sent here to become the Sect Master of the Qi Mo Sect.

Gao Tianwu looked at a young man sitting below him, a slight smile on his face, and said, "Tian Que, you've been here for so long and have seen many young Prodigies from the Three Halls, Six Mansions, and Twelve Caves. What do you think of them?"

Tian Que was precisely Holy Son Tian Que, who had arrived here with Holy Son Fufeng. He carried the Great Que Sword on his back, exuding a majestic, steady, and reserved aura.

Tian Que said expressionlessly, "They are mere chickens and dogs, unable to withstand a single blow. If they only have this much ability, our Holy Heaven Demon Sect has nothing to fear!"

This was his confidence!

He had the right to say such words!

All of this came from his confidence in his own strength!

Gao Tianwu looked at Holy Son Tian Que, very satisfied with his answer, yet he also shook his head and said, "What you've seen is indeed so, but there are also some hidden ones who are the most troublesome!"

"The Sect Master sent you here, in reality, to let you witness the true strength of the Prodigies from places like the Eastern Continent, Western Ridge, and Southern Region."

"Once Fufeng returns, I will personally arrange things for you."

Speaking of Holy Son Fufeng, Tian Que frowned and said indifferently, "This fellow really doesn't make things easy for people!"

"For a Cultivator from a small place, he actually ran off to the Outer Sea, not knowing the slightest bit of propriety."

Although he said that, Holy Son Tian Que knew what Shen Tianxing meant to the Holy Heaven Demon Sect.

The Holy Heaven Demon Sect had never suffered such a great loss at the hands of a mere Cultivator!

Shen Tianxing could only repay this grudge with his life!

Gao Tianwu laughed heartily, just about to comfort him, when suddenly a golden rune flashed in the Void Realm, the Void Realm vibrated, and a rune fell into his hand.

Gao Tianwu grasped the rune, and within it, lines of mysterious text appeared.

Immediately after, the text disappeared, and Gao Tianwu's expression became incredibly grim!

Seeing this, Holy Son Tian Que said, "Grand Elder, what happened?"

He had a bad premonition!

It took Gao Tianwu a while to come back to his senses, and he said coldly, "News from the Sect reports that Fufeng's life tablet has shattered!"

A shattered life tablet meant that Holy Son Fufeng had perished!
