Fantasy/Heroic: Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, Earthly Sovereign!

"It has such an effect, so my trip to Tuoba was not in vain."

Yang Guang's eyes gleamed; his thoughts were racing, and he was quite tempted.

"You will accompany me this time."

"Yes, Master!"

The scholar bowed his head in agreement.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Yang Guang waved his hand.

Shuxiang bowed again, then transformed into a ray of light and entered the Secret Manual of Mountains and Seas.

Yang Guang put the secret manual of mountains and seas into his sleeve and looked out the window.

However, he did not notice that the Secret Manual of Mountains and Seas was flashing with a faint light, which wrapped around the edge of the pages like a wisp of silk and disappeared into the void.

Inside the princess's residence, in her boudoir, Ning Ke was meditating and practicing Qi cultivation.

Having accomplished something significant, she felt somewhat at ease and was now thinking about improving her strength to make future plans.

Suddenly, a message came to her mind.

"The Shennong Cauldron is with Tuoba Yang Guang, who has been appointed to lead an army to seize it."

"This is a big deal."

Ning Ke's eyes lit up.

The five divine artifacts that sealed the Heavenly Rift and set up the Lost Array are the Fuxi Qin, Shennong Ding, Kunlun Mirror, Kongtong Seal, and Nuwa Stone.

If we can seize one or two items, preventing the formation from being set up, we can completely disrupt the opponent's strategy.

The plan to tear apart the heavens and bring the demon realm back to the human world would then proceed smoothly.

"Follow carefully and help Yang Guang seize this item."

Ning Ke used telepathy to inform Shuxiang.

Then, her demonic soul prayed to the Crimson Comet Star to contact the Demon Lord.

In the Demon Realm, at the central tower, the Demon Lord opened his eyes and looked towards the horizon.

Ning Ke felt her soul suddenly empty, and the next moment she appeared in a dark space.

The Demon Lord's face hung in the sky like the sun and moon.

"Greetings, Father!"

Ning Ke bowed and paid her respects.

"Hmm, what do you want with me?" the Demon Lord asked in a deep voice.

"Father, Yang Jian has learned that the Shennong Cauldron is in the Tuoba tribe in the human world, and has ordered Yang Guang to go and seize it."

Ning Ke first reported some good news.

The Demon Lord's eyes gleamed, and his face lit up with joy.

"Shennong Cauldron, excellent, we must seize it."

"Yes, Father, I have already instructed Shuxiang to secretly assist Yang Guang in ensuring that the tripod falls into my hands."

"You did a great job."

The Demon Lord nodded in satisfaction.

"However...it is too difficult to find the Earth Emperor. Although I suggested that Shuxiang find someone with great fortune to help him cultivate."

"Yang Guang readily accepted the advice and arranged for people to search everywhere, but they still could not find Yuwen Tuo. I beg you, Father, to punish him."

Ning Ke, through the influence of the scholar, persuaded Yang Guang to find Yuwen Tuo, a prince of the previous dynasty, and absorb his aura to practice his martial arts.

When Yang Guang realized that it was for his own benefit, he naturally agreed.

They secretly sent people to search, but so far they have found no clues.

Even if we ask someone to deduce it, we still can't find it.

"The emperor has already developed the Way of Xuanyuan, and his status has been elevated. This is something that cannot be deduced or found by ordinary people or secret methods."

"But since his path has already arisen, there is no need to deduce it further. The places of great chaos and evil are where he will appear. This matter is not urgent now."

The Demon Lord had a very clear understanding of the Earth Emperor.

Such people have a high opinion of themselves and take the rise and fall of humankind upon themselves.

They thought they could reverse fate on their own.

In chaotic places, it will appear naturally; there is no need to search for it deliberately.

"I see."

"Father, will he appear with Tuoba's group this time?"

Ning Ke suddenly felt enlightened.

Suddenly, he remembered that this trip to the Tuoba tribe would definitely cause quite a stir. Would the Earth Emperor appear?

"It's also possible that you can go there in person."

"Firstly, to secretly help Yang Guang seize the Shennong Cauldron; secondly, to use the Shennong Cauldron as bait to lure the Earth Emperor into a trap if he appears."

"Furthermore, I will impart to you a secret technique: travel to the place closest to the Crimson Comet Demon Star, and use this technique to convert some of the Crimson Comet Demon Star's magic power for your own use, which will help me to generate more demon seeds."

"The Demon Lord commanded."

Then, a wisp of black energy descended and entered Ning Ke's demonic soul.

"Yes, Father!"

Ning Ke bowed and accepted the order.

The space in front of her slowly shattered, and she returned to her boudoir.

"Earth Emperor!"

Ning Ke murmured to herself, already familiar with the secret technique in her mind.

"The Demon Seed, this trip to Tuoba can also be carried out."

"After all, these grassland tribes are fierce and brutal, making them the perfect breeding ground for demons."

Ning Ke decided to carry out several tasks together.

The words are divided into two parts.

Yuwen Tuo left Mount Shu and headed north based on his intuition.

After traveling about a thousand miles, a heavy snowstorm broke out ahead, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Yuwen Tuo frowned slightly, stopped his cloud-walking, and looked down.

A large city appears below.

People could be seen coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere.

"It's really strange that such a city with so many people and such a vibrant atmosphere would have demonic energy emanating from it."

Yuwen Tuo instructed Little Qiongqi to find a hilltop nearby to hide on, while he himself landed to investigate.

Although some demons are bold, they dare to linger in densely populated areas.

Especially if they occupy a large city like this, they must have something to rely on.

Yuwen Tuo wasn't the kind of person who would eliminate any demon he encountered.

However, once you see it, you should still check it out to avoid causing a major disaster.

Yuwen Tuo arrived at the city gate and saw the words "Hanzhou" written on it.

His eyes lit up.

This world is somewhat similar to the place he lived in his previous life. For example, major cities like Yangzhou, Hangzhou, and Chang'an are quite similar to his previous life.

However, there are also many differences.

Take Hanzhou for example.

According to records, for the past twenty years, Hanzhou has been covered in ice and snow all year round, and the extreme cold is biting.

The Northern Zhou court once sent people to investigate, but found nothing, attributing it to natural disasters and strange phenomena.

If such strange phenomena were caused by demons, it is quite possible.

I remember in the first Legend of Sword and Fairy game, the appearance of the Water Demon Beast caused abnormal weather changes all over the world.

Even in this sacred land of Shushan, it's starting to snow.

Yuwentuo walked to the city gate.

The guards, seeing that he was dressed in thin clothes yet walked with ease and had an excellent appearance, felt a strange sense of awe and dared not look him over, but simply let him in.

I thought to myself that such a person must be from a respectable family, so there was no need to investigate him thoroughly.

In front of the city lord's mansion, two rows of armored soldiers stood solemnly, the vermilion gate was tightly closed, and frost flowers were condensed on the door knocker.

Yuwen Tuo walked to the stone steps. The guard on his left pressed forward with his spear, shouting, "This is the governor's residence. No disrespect is allowed. Step back now!"

"I am a wandering Taoist priest, appointed by Heaven's will. I have come to pay my respects to Your Excellency the Governor and have something to tell you."

Yuwen Tuo gave a false name and changed his identity to that of a Taoist priest.

These days, it's the most convenient way for Taoist priests and Buddhist monks to travel the world without arousing suspicion.

"Taoist priest?"

The guards noticed that Yuwen Tuo was young and did not seem like a Taoist priest.

However, in this kind of weather, they were all wearing heavy fur coats, but Yuwen Tuo was only wearing a blue robe, the hem of which remained motionless in the cold wind, which only made him look more refined and otherworldly.

The guard's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not delay any longer. He turned and went inside to report.
