Chapter 1407 1260 Son of Henghai

Chapter 1407: Chapter 1260: Son of Henghai Chapter 1407: Chapter 1260: Son of Henghai “It’s the effect of the Huangquan Tears, an item from the strongest Demon Spirit of the Heavenly Realm, which has benefited you immensely…” the Elderly Fox Man noticed the surprise within Chu Mu’s heart and spoke.

“Is the owner of the Demon Tomb the undying legend known as Huangquan?” Xu Kuang asked.

If this information could be sent back to the Wupan Continent, who knows how many of the Strong Ones would be shaken!

“He is the strongest, yes, but he does not qualify as the master of the Demon Tomb,” the Elderly Fox Man said.

Xu Kuang wanted to continue questioning, but the Elderly Fox Man no longer gave him the chance.

“Just as a War General cannot step into the Dominator Level, a Commander-level Creature also struggles to reach the Immortal level, human, you have made a soul contract with him, do you have the ability to elevate him to the Immortal level? You must know that once he dons the Demon Crown, he becomes an Immortal-level Demon Spirit!” the Elderly Fox Man seriously stated.

Chu Mu glanced at Ye and nodded, “I can!”

“There’s no need for such a confident reply, the blood marks on his body are the sigils of the Undead. Once the blood marks cover his entire body in five years, he will revert back to being a Corpse-type Demon Spirit. If you don’t want such a thing to happen, why not come to the Demon Tomb again to seek the real Huangquan for help in resolving this. By then, hopefully, you can directly enter the Heavenly Realm,” the Elderly Fox Man said.

Chu Mu immediately focused on the blood marks on Ye’s body, those were the sigils when Ye had once transformed into an Undead. Chu Mu had not expected them to continue spreading and consuming Ye’s body.

“Five years… five years is enough,” Chu Mu stated.

Five years was a considerably long time for Chu Mu, and he believed that with Ye following him, Ye could only become stronger. Five years later, Chu Mu would bring Ye back to the Demon Tomb to prove it to the Elderly Fox Man!

“Did you come to the Demon Tomb also for another matter? I sense something about you,” the Elderly Fox Man asked.

Chu Mu nodded, “I came here in search of something left behind here by the Heavenly Tablet Beast Soul, to confront an ancient Jiao person sleeping within a Wind Palace.”

“Ancient Jiao person… you mean the Son of Henghai?” the Elderly Fox Man said.

“The Son of Henghai?” Chu Mu was taken aback, he hadn’t heard of this before.

“The strongest few creatures in the vast Henghai are known as the Sons of Henghai, and the ancient Jiao person is one of them. It enjoys sleeping, and once asleep, it does so for thousands of years. It has a stubborn nature, turning into a brutal ruler when awake, slaughtering the powerful creatures that have grown during its thousands of years of slumber. Those targeted by it can choose between death or subjugation: death means complete obliteration, and subjugation means sleeping alongside it when it closes its eyes…” the Elderly Fox Man said.

Princess Jinrou had seen text on the ancient wall that largely matched the Elderly Fox Man’s description; it appeared that the Elderly Fox Man knew quite a bit.

“Do you know how to deal with it?” Chu Mu asked.

The existence of the ancient Jiao person ultimately posed a great threat to the New Moon Land, or it could be said to be a terrifying disaster hidden underground. Once it awakened, with its level, any of its abilities could destroy the tiny New Moon Land!

“Deal with it?” The Elderly Fox Man suddenly laughed, seemingly mocking Chu Mu’s ignorance.

“There aren’t many creatures in this world that can talk about dealing with it, and you, a human who hasn’t even stepped into the Immortal level, speak of dealing with it. However, since the Heavenly Tablet has chosen you, you must possess a special command over Soul Pets. Did the Heavenly Tablet guide you here to find something that can suppress the Son of Henghai?” the Elderly Fox Man said.

“Yes,” Chu Mu felt as though he had been chosen by the Heavenly Tablet, often reading about so-called missions in others’ memoirs, and he hadn’t expected that one day he too would become someone with a mission – perhaps this was also a testament to being powerful.

“I have calculated that the Son of Henghai will not awaken within ten years, and since you’ll be coming back to the Demon Tomb in five years, just come back and get it then. I’ll keep it safe for you until you are strong enough for me to hand it over,” the Elderly Fox Man said, his voice filled with age.

Clearly, the ancient beast soul that he was supposed to find was in the Demon Tomb Inner Island.

Considering it, as it could suppress the ancient Jiao person, it certainly wasn’t ordinary, and it couldn’t just casually be scattered around the Demon Tomb Central Island or outer paths; it could only be stored in the place known as the Demon Spirit Heavenly Realm.

“You may leave now. I, as an old man, actually find it tiresome having humans come here to challenge us, because humans never abide by our Demon Spirit rules,” the Elderly Fox Man waved his hand, then dragged his stubby body toward the place illuminated by the light barrier.

Xu Kuang, the Sea Maiden, and other naval leaders naturally couldn’t understand what Chu Mu had been discussing with the Elderly Fox Man; now that they could leave, they didn’t want to linger and immediately started heading back along the Road of Huangquan.

There was no hope of obtaining the Demon Crown, Great Leader Xu Kuang wasn’t a greedy man, surviving and leaving this place was good enough.

“Let’s also go,” Chao Lengchuan said to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu nodded, glanced at Ye beside him, and at that moment Ye slightly crouched down, signaling for Chu Mu to climb up.

Chu Mu jumped onto Ye’s back, and compared to before, Ye’s body was more nimble and robust, which gave Chu Mu a solid peace of mind.

Great Leader Xu Kuang and the others all watched Chu Mu.

Chu Mu said that the one he now commanded was Huangquan, who had beaten the navy until they were bruised and battered. Huangquan was a Demon Spirit whose strength had reached the peak of the Dominator level. It was now this man’s Soul Pet, making the sailors, including Great Leader Xu Kuang, look on in envy and awe.

“Wuuu~~~~~~~”

Little Mo Xie, very joyful, leaped off Chu Mu’s shoulder and happily climbed onto Ye’s head, issuing a cute cry to welcome Ye’s return.

Ye squinted slightly, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of their eyes. They used Mental Sound to ask Mo Xie, Little Hiding Dragon, and Zhan Ye if they had returned yet.

Chu Mu opened each soul contract, allowing everyone to greet Ye with Mental Sound.

Of course, there was also a strange face—Dream of Oblivion.

Both dancers of darkness, one in the sky and one on the Continent, Dream of Oblivion and Ye would surely have much in common.

“Oh, I almost forgot,” an Elderly Fox Man’s voice suddenly came from afar, ethereal in nature. “Tell that little fellow by your side that the Island Owner has forgiven it. It may return if it wants.”

Chu Mu turned his head, but the Elderly Fox Man was nowhere to be seen.

The Elderly Fox Man’s words left Chu Mu somewhat baffled, but he quickly remembered an important figure—Master Li!

Chu Mu recalled querying Master Li a long time ago about why he looked half-human and half-pet. He had explained it was due to a transformation technique gone wrong, resulting in a raccoon head on a body similar to a dwarf’s.

However, this time, Chu Mu saw someone who looked extremely similar to Master Li—the Elderly Fox Man. This meant that Master Li’s appearance wasn’t the result of a transformation spell, but rather that there was a special race among the Demon Spirits.

“Master Li, you can come out now,” said Chu Mu using Mental Sound.

At that moment, Chu Mu felt a slight tremor in his Space Ring. When he extended his Soul Sense into it, he found Master Li hiding in a corner of the space, body trembling slightly, murmuring to himself, “The Island Owner has forgiven me… he really has? Can I really go back?”

It was the first time Chu Mu saw Master Li in such a dispirited state. He guessed that the old fellow must have an unforgettable story from his past.

Chu Mu decided not to disturb him and instead asked Ye about it.

“Hu~~~~~~”

Ye told Chu Mu that when they first encountered the Elderly Fox Man, they too were surprised. Later, they learned that the Raccoon people were an extremely rare race among the Demon Spirits, one that had lived in the Demon Tomb from generation to generation, guarding the Demon Tomb Heavenly Domain.

When Ye mentioned Master Li to the Elderly Fox Man, the Elderly Fox Man told Ye that Master Li was a young member of their race who had committed a serious mistake and, fearing punishment from the Island Owner, had left the Demon Tomb on his own—it had been hundreds of years since.

Their race had long lifespans, and a few hundred years weren’t much to them. However, not having returned to their homeland in hundreds of years and wandering in the human world must have been indescribably difficult.

“Master Li, do you want to go back?” Chu Mu asked.

“Of course not!” Master Li said stubbornly. “Young Master, don’t we have an agreement?”

“An agreement? Oh, I remember,” Chu Mu nodded.

Chu Mu remembered that Master Li had asked him to promise to do something in return for his help in finding Spirit Items and Xuan Objects. Master Li had been following him for many years, entrusting many things to him, so Chu Mu naturally wouldn’t stint in aiding Master Li.

“Until I have made amends, I will not return!” Master Li said earnestly.

“Alright, let me know later what I need to do. But you’re quite cunning. Back then, I was only a Soul Emperor. I thought the task you wanted required a Dominator-level strength to complete, but I didn’t expect another level, the immortal level,” Chu Mu said with a wry smile.

Since it was from the lost items of the Demon Tomb Heavenly Domain, it must be of the immortal level.

“Hehe,” chuckled Master Li.

In fact, Master Li hadn’t expected Chu Mu to reach this level either. It seemed that the years of following him hadn’t been wasted; he had chosen the right person, as Chu Mu was getting closer to his goal.

“Hu~~~~~~~” Ye moved forward, using Mental Sound to tell Chu Mu that there were still some things left on the Demon Tomb Central Island that might help strengthen Chu Mu’s other Soul Pets.

Chu Mu’s eyes lit up—this was good news. Knowing that his other Soul Pets were still at the Intermediate Lord Level, compared to Ye and Mo Xie, there was a significant gap in strength that needed to be bridged.

The resources on the Central Island of the Demon Tomb were quite rich. Now that Ye was a Huangquan Guardian, the strongest Demon Spirit and equivalent to the Island Owner of the Demon Tomb Central Island, Chu Mu could fully use Ye’s authority to conduct a major Xuan Object collection on the Central Island!
