Why was the Ghost King's Tomb in the Sea of Misfortune?
This was because of the visual image left by the Ghost King's Eye when it looked up at the starry sky for the last time. The Mirror Demon King roughly deduced the position of the stars in the sky.
However, the distance between the moon and the stars in the sky was too far, so basically in every corner of the world, the positions of the stars in the sky were basically the same.
The Mirror Demon King went through extremely complicated calculations, and through his contact with the Ghost King and his understanding of him, he deduced that the Ghost King's tomb was in the Sea of Misfortune.
Of course, the so-called Ghost King's Tomb might not actually be a tomb, but rather a place where the Ghost King died.
When the Ghost King released his spiritual perception to explore the universe, he accidentally discovered the secret of the moon.
Then, it met with a disaster.
The Ghost King was extremely powerful. With its own strength, it had unified one-third of the Southern Wilderness.
Such a Ghost King should be invincible in the world, but … it wasn't.
The thing on the moon might contain the highest secrets of this world. The mysterious power on the moon was so strong that even the Ghost King couldn't resist it.
After discovering the secret of the moon, the Ghost King knew that he was doomed.
After making some final arrangements, it chose a place to die!
Logically speaking, the Ghost King should be immortal, but when faced with absolute power, it would still die.
According to Lan Ling and the Mirror Demon King's speculation, even if the Ghost King died, he would want to leave something behind.
It wanted to die in a place where no power could reach, so it chose the Sea of Misfortune.
Legend has it that the Sea of Misfortune contained the greatest ruins of the ancient Misfortune Demon Kingdom and its greatest secret. This was already common knowledge to the upper echelons of the Demon Race.
But up until now, no one had been able to find out where this secret was.
According to legend, the location of the Sea of Misfortune was the Demon Capital of the ancient Kingdom of Misfortune. It was once the most powerful and glorious city of the Demon Race.
However, a star from outer space destroyed the Misfortune Demon Capital, causing the once largest demon city to become a huge crater. After countless years, this crater was filled with seawater and became the largest Mediterranean Sea. This was the current Sea of Misfortune, 350,000 square kilometers of the Sea of Misfortune.
How many years has it been since the ancient Kingdom of Misfortune?
He did not know. Perhaps a hundred thousand years, or perhaps even longer.
Many people knew that the Sea of Misfortune hid the ruins of the Misfortune Demon Capital. However, so far, no one had discovered the secret inside, and no one had really discovered the ruins of the Misfortune Demonic Capital. Instead, many ruins of the Kingdom of Misfortune had been discovered around the Sea of Misfortune.
However, the ruins of the Demon Capital, which were rumored to have been destroyed by the stars in the universe, were never found.
Others might not have discovered it, but the Ghost King might have. This was because it was a pure soul creature, and it could use its senses to explore this world.
According to Lan Ling and the Mirror Demon King's speculation.
The Ghost King's Tomb was located in the ruins of the ancient Kingdom of Misfortune's Demon Capital.
The ruins of the Misfortune Demonic Capital were in the Sea of Misfortune.
Even the powerful force on the moon did not discover the ruins of the Demon Capital. Otherwise, the Ghost King would not have chosen to die there.
Then, Lan Ling was faced with an incomparably huge problem.
All the higher-ups of the eight demon clans in the southern wilderness knew that the ruins of the Misfortune Demon Capital were in the Sea of Misfortune, but no one had discovered it for tens of thousands of years.
How powerful were the Eight Great Demon King Clans? Even after spending tens of thousands of years, they still couldn't find the ruins of the Demon Capital. How did Lan Ling find it?
This should be a peerless mystery.
…
The Sea of Misfortune was located at the intersection of the three demon territories: the Rakshasa Clan, the Ersha Clan, and the Earthly Clan.
Lan Ling and Gou Li rode the three-headed Chimera and flew at an altitude of 20,000 meters toward the Sea of Misfortune.
At an altitude of 20,000 meters, only the three-headed Chimera, an energy creature, could reach that altitude. Whether it was the Dragon Eagle or the Griffin, it was impossible for them to fly that high.
Not only that, the Griffin could fly less than a thousand miles at most before it needed to rest and feed.
However, the three-headed Chimera could fly 15,000 miles without resting, and it did not need to eat.
Only by flying this high would Lan Ling not be attacked.
To the Three-headed Chimaera, it would only take a day and a night to travel 15,000 kilometers.
Twenty-four hours later, Lan Ling had already flown above the Sea of Misfortune.
It really was a miraculous Sea.
Looking down from an altitude of 20,000 meters, it was really an absolute circle. It was like a round mirror embedded in the ground, a crystal clear magic mirror.
This discovery especially surprised Lan Ling.
The 350,000 square kilometers of the sea was actually an absolute circle when looking down from the sky.
In this world, any natural Mediterranean Sea would not be an absolute circle. Such an absolute circle was definitely caused by an external force.
Now, Lan Ling somewhat believed the legend that the Sea of Misfortune was caused by the impact of a star from outer space, and an absolutely circular star at that?
After reaching the Sea of Misfortune, the most difficult part had just begun.
They needed to find the ruins of the Demon Capital in this 350,000 square kilometers of the Mediterranean Sea.
How big was 300,000 square kilometers?
The entire Jiangxi Province was twice as big. Looking for something in such a large area was really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lan Ling began to descend. When he was still dozens of meters away from the sea, he and Gou Li jumped directly into the sea.
Looking for the ancient ruins, anyone's first reaction would definitely be to look at the bottom of the sea.
…
Lan Ling and Gou Li kept diving, diving, and diving!
30 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, 300 meters, 500 meters, 800 meters, 1,000 meters …
The Sea of Misfortune was actually so deep. The two had already dived more than 1,000 meters, but they could not see the bottom.
Diving 2,000 meters!
It was really fortunate that both he and Gou Li had immortal bodies. Otherwise, they would have suffocated to death in less than 2,000 meters. Moreover, the deeper they dived, the more astonishing the water pressure.
The water pressure at 2,000 meters was already an astronomical figure.
Gou Li had already begun to transform. Her body had turned into a crystal body, and her limbs could no longer move. She could only rely on gravity to continue sinking.
Lan Ling could clearly feel that the depths of his bloodline were constantly releasing power to balance the water pressure outside, so he did not feel uncomfortable.
The two continued to dive.
3,000 meters, 4,000 meters, 5,000 meters!
After diving 5,000 meters, they still could not see the bottom.
At 5,000 meters underwater, the water pressure on every square centimeter exceeded a thousand pounds.
In other words, Lan Ling's entire body was under water pressure that exceeded 10 million pounds.
At this time, Lan Ling was already feeling uncomfortable, and he felt like he was about to explode.
This was already the limit. The depths of his bloodline could no longer provide stronger energy to balance the water pressure outside.
"Master, my crystal body is also about to explode," Gou Li said. "We can't go down anymore. I can feel that you have reached your limit."
Of course, both Lan Ling and Gou Li were immortal, but after being completely shattered, it would take a lot of energy to rebuild the entire body.
And this depth of 5,000 meters seemed to be far from the end. It was really unknown how deep the Sea of Misfortune was.
"Master, release your spiritual power to sense it," Gou Li said.
Lan Ling nodded, then used the Spiritual Shedding Technique to release his spiritual perception, and continued to dive, dive, dive.
The Sea of Misfortune was so deep that Lan Ling felt that there might be surprises in the depths of the sea.
6,000 meters, 7,000 meters, 1,000 meters, 10,000 meters …
The spiritual perception of the two had already dived to 10,000 meters.
Lan Ling could perceive thousands of meters away from his body because of his heaven-defying spiritual power and spiritual talent.
As for Gou Li, strictly speaking, she was already a person who had died once, so her soul could leave her body at will.
However, the two of them couldn't be compared to the Ghost King. The Ghost King's spiritual perception could leave his body tens of thousands of miles and even hundreds of thousands of miles to explore the universe.
The depth that Lan Ling explored would soon exceed the limit of his out-of-body state.
He was worried that the depth of the sea would be endless, far beyond his limit, and then he would be completely unable to perceive it.
In the end, at 13,000 meters, they finally reached the bottom of the sea.
At this time, Lan Ling and Gou Li's spiritual power was quickly consumed, and they hurried to explore the underwater world here.
This was more than 10,000 meters under the sea, and there was no doubt that the light outside could not shine in.
Therefore, the entire bottom of the sea was dark, and Lan Ling and Gou Li could not see anything with their spiritual vision.
Suddenly …
The underwater world lit up.
Then, Lan Ling clearly saw a few glowing jellyfish swimming over.
There were jellyfish at a depth of 13,000 meters under the sea? How could the fragile jellyfish withstand the terrible water pressure?
After a closer look, Lan Ling was surprised to find that they turned out to be pure energy creatures without real bodies. No wonder they could live at a depth of 13,000 meters.
With the light of these energy jellyfish, Lan Ling explored everything underwater.
However, he was disappointed!
There was nothing in this underwater world. It was just the normal bottom of the sea.
There was nothing but oddly-shaped rocks.
There were no relics, no ruins, and no words. In short, there were no traces of civilization.
…
In the next few days and nights, Lan Ling used his spiritual power to explore thousands of miles under the sea, but still found nothing.
They were completely normal underwater rocks. There were no ruins of the Demon Capital of Misfortune, no words, and no relics of civilization.
There was nothing in the entire underwater world except for these energy jellyfish!
"Master, could it be that this is not the ruins of the Demon Capital of Misfortune at all?" Gou Li said.
Lan Ling closed his eyes and began to think carefully.
The Ghost King's Tomb was here. This should not be wrong. Because through the vision of the Ghost King's Eye, he could determine that the last place the Ghost King appeared was this Sea of Misfortune.
On the contrary, the Demon Capital of Misfortune in the Sea of Misfortune had always been a legend and had not been confirmed.
Then could he break the cage of thinking and use another bold fantasy?
For example, there was no such thing as the ruins of the Demon Capital of Misfortune. Even if there was, it would not be in this Sea of Misfortune. After all, this Sea of Misfortune was named by later generations.
The reason why the Ghost King died here was because he wanted to keep some secrets and did not want his corpse to be destroyed.
However, no matter where he died, he could not escape the search of the mysterious power on the moon. Perhaps there was an exception, and that was … the forbidden area of the Dragon Temple?
The forbidden area of the Dragon Temple was the Heavenly Tomb!
In order to keep secrets, many ancient priests of the Dragon Temple would be sealed in the Heavenly Tomb before they died. This way, they would never die or live.
Because time was forbidden in the Heavenly Tomb.
Previously, Lan Ling had entered the Heavenly Tomb once. It seemed like a long time had passed inside. However, when he left the Heavenly Tomb and returned to the sea, not even ten minutes had passed.
Was it possible that the Ghost King buried himself in the Heavenly Tomb of the Dragon Temple?
It was possible. For example, no one in the Dragon Temple would open the Heavenly Tomb because it was a forbidden area.
However … countless years later, when it was necessary, the Dragon Temple would still open the Heavenly Tomb. At that time, wouldn't the Ghost King still be exposed?
Then was there another possibility? An even more horrifying possibility?
…
"Master, why don't we float up first?" Gou Li said.
Lan Ling nodded.
He could not forcibly find the Ghost King's Tomb. Otherwise, it would really be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The two of them kept floating up and up.
After a long while, the two of them once again rushed out of the water.
Before the Ghost King died, he looked up at the starry sky and left behind a special image.
And at this time, all the visual images of the Ghost King's Eye were stored in Lan Ling's brain.
Previously, the Mirror Demon King had warned him not to reproduce the visual images of the Ghost King's Eye unless it was absolutely necessary. It would attract danger.
But now, Lan Ling had reached the last moment. He wanted to use the final visual image of the Ghost King's Eye to locate the exact location of the Ghost King before his death.
Only then could he accurately find the Ghost King's Tomb.
Lan Ling took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. His mind entered the visual world of the Ghost King's Eye before its death.
"Whoosh!"
An incomparably beautiful and resplendent image was imprinted into Lan Ling's eyes.
The familiar stars, the familiar sky, the familiar moon. It was almost no different from the night sky at any time.
Suddenly …
Lan Ling noticed that in the final visual image of the Ghost King's Eye, there was actually a star that stood out from the masses. Out of every hundred flashes, there was actually a blood-colored light.
He had never noticed it before because its position was too remote. Moreover, most of the flashes were normal lights. Out of every hundred flashes, only one was a blood-colored light.
Lan Ling knew this star. Whether it was in the Demon Realm or the Human Realm, it was very famous. It was called the Blood-Colored Star.
It appeared once every hundred years. Every time it appeared, it was accompanied by a terrifying blood-colored calamity. It was unknown how many people died.
And at this time, in the real starry sky that Lan Ling saw with his naked eyes, the blood-colored star also began to appear.
Another hundred years had passed, and it was time for the blood-red star to appear again?
The entire world was about to start a terrifying blood-colored calamity?
…
At this time!
Human Realm, North Pole, Aurora Gate.
The energy book held by the Dragon Temple powerhouse suddenly flashed.
"Someone has reproduced the vision of the Ghost King's Eye in the Sea of Misfortune. Immediately capture and kill him!"
Immediately, Saintess Ji Soo-ning led hundreds of Dragon Temple powerhouses. Riding on flying mounts, they passed through the Aurora Gate and entered the Southern Wilderness' Southernmost Desert. Then, they flew toward the direction of the Sea of Misfortune!
