From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

This is a blessing from heaven, and any monk would be grateful for it.

"Such a rich spiritual energy... I feel like my cultivation has improved a lot. How... how did you do that?"

"This is the spiritual herb I need for a breakthrough, and it just appeared out of nowhere?!"

"The inner demons that have troubled me for many years have been resolved thanks to this sudden realization. It's simply..."

Instantly, countless monks in the Demon City knelt on the ground, roaring like mountains and seas.

Outside the Demon City, the cultivators in other areas of the Southern Wilderness, although separated by an unknown distance, were miraculously able to see the figure in the sky. They looked up to the sky with gratitude in their hearts.

In the eyes of these monks, this beautiful figure was like a god, filled with unspeakable majesty, which made them tremble and want to worship her.

"May I ask...Master Realm Master, what is your name?"

At this moment, a slightly trembling voice sounded from the depths of the Demon City.

"My name is Xiao Minghuang."

Xiao Minghuang spoke indifferently.

As soon as the words fell, all the monks in the Demon City trembled.

"Xiao...Xiao Minghuang...Could it be Princess Xiao?"

All the monks gasped.

Almost all the cultivators in the Southern Wilderness have heard of the name of Princess Xiao.

Everyone knows that there is an evil genius in the east of Zhongtian. At the age of thirty, he has reached the realm of the Supreme Being, and is capable of killing those of the same level, comparable to an earthly immortal!

But no one could have imagined that in less than a year, the famous Princess Xiao came to the Southern Wilderness from the Eastern Pole at some point in time, and even without anyone knowing, she merged with the source of the world, attained enlightenment and became an emperor!

Along with the emergence of various strange visions, Xiao Minghuang's voice spread to every corner of the Southern Wilderness world like the morning bell and evening drum. Every living creature in the Southern Wilderness, whether it was human, livestock, monster, beast, scaly and horned creature, wet-born or egg-born, as well as flowers, trees, mountains and rivers, were all startled by this voice.

One after another, divine rainbows shot up into the sky, shuttled through the void, and rushed towards the Demon City, wanting to catch a glimpse of the true appearance of the new emperor.

The six evil demons of the Southern Wilds, as the builders of the world order of the Southern Wilds, have now lost five of them and only one remains.

The Supreme King of Burial had died at the hands of Xiao Minghuang long ago, and the King of Burial's Dao perished along with it.

Demon Lord Hehuan and Old Ancestor Blood Demon also died at her hands, and the rest of her followers scattered like monkeys when the tree fell.

As for the Red Dust Demonic Path, it was destroyed by the Demon Emperor.

However, for some unknown reason, the Netherworld Demonic Path also suddenly became chaotic.

Now, only the Shura Demon Sect is left. The current Shura Patriarch, a powerful earth immortal, rushed to the Central Demon City as soon as Xiao Minghuang issued the announcement!

"Princess Xiao is a gifted woman, unrivalled in history. The Southern Wilderness Heavenly Dao now rests in her hands. Perhaps there is still hope..."

Seeing the Shura Patriarch emerging from the void and slowly bowing, Xiao Minghuang understood that this earthly immortal ancestor believed that the situation had changed and did not intend to continue to abide by the agreement with Emperor Dongji, and instead joined her army.

Give me a peach, and I will give you a jade pendant in return.

Xiao Minghuang looked at the Shura Patriarch and said softly, "Daoyou has lived in the Southern Wilds for a long time and is familiar with love affairs. Can I ask Daoyou to take care of all the affairs for a while?"

Upon hearing this, the Shura Patriarch was slightly startled at first, but then he immediately reacted and bowed and said, "Master Realm Master, rest assured. Shura is willing to serve you at all costs, even if it means going through fire and water!"

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

Xiao Minghuang chuckled, then took a step forward, flying through the air, passing through layers of palaces, and under the gaze of countless monks from the Demon City, he landed on the city wall of the Central Demon City.

She was wearing a bright yellow robe, her face was flawless and beautiful, her black hair fell to her waist, and her jet-black hair hung behind her. Strands of starlight surrounded her, and her brows revealed an arrogance that looked down on the world, as if she was standing high in the clouds, overlooking the sky.

At this moment, she revealed incomparable majesty and luxury, as if she was the only ruler of this world, the universe, the supreme emperor who controlled billions of miles of territory!

Emperor Xiao Minghuang.

Lord of the Southern Wilderness!

At this moment, thousands of cultivators from the Southern Wilderness gathered and surrounded the Demon City densely.

In an instant, all the countless living beings in the world, including the trillions of living beings in the Southern Wilderness outside the Demon City, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Minghuang in the sky.

"Greetings, Lord Realm Master!"

These sounds gathered together, like thunder, resounding through the sky.

Rumble.

The rolling thunder shook the heaven and earth!

Xiao Minghuang's eyes swept over, and her red lips slightly opened: "You all stand up."

The sound is like a spring breeze, gentle and warm.

Suddenly, the originally noisy Southern Wilderness suddenly became silent, without any sound at all.

Countless cultivators in the Southern Wilderness looked up at the sky with inexplicable excitement. In the past, the Demon Emperor had ruled the Southern Wilderness for countless epochs, and they had never heard of any time when he would bestow rewards. Now, as soon as the new world master attained enlightenment, he shared his blessings with all living beings. Who could not be grateful?

The major sects in the Southern Wilderness, as well as the clan leaders of those small tribes, also stood respectfully, gazing with reverence at the beautiful, majestic, luxurious figure that dominated the heavens and the earth above the Demon City.

Ordinary monks may not know, but these high-level monks who are listed in the holy realm more or less know some of the truth.

The Heavenly Dao of the Southern Wilderness has reached the end of decay. If no changes are made, it will not be long before it completely declines, and the creatures like them will become duckweed floating on the water, and will soon be withered and die.

At this moment, the survival of all living beings in the world depends on the new world master who came from a foreign land, this young woman!

486. Do not wait and see, root out the problem

"Thank you, Lord Realm Master!"

Countless extremely respectful voices rang out from all over the Southern Wilderness world, like tides and waves, stretching for thousands of miles!

As for Xiao Minghuang, he stood calmly at the top of the Demon City, his eyes were extremely deep.

She knew very well that she did not have much time and it was not the time for her to enjoy all these cheers.

"no."

Xiao Minghuang said softly, and then he waved his hand, and a gentle force supported all the cultivators, and then he said loudly: "From now on, the Central Demon City is renamed Nanxing City! The Central Demon Palace is renamed Nanxing Palace!"

This name was chosen to show her ambition to unify the five realms and unite them into one!

As the words fell, vast, majestic, and dazzling starlight poured down from the sky, shrouding Nanxing City. Countless runes bloomed with brilliant light, covering the entire city.

In an instant, all the buildings in the Central Demon City lit up, and the originally dark and cold environment was instantly transformed.

Under the shining starlight, the aura of evil was swept away, and the entire Central Demon City... no, it should be said that the Southern Star City had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The original Nanxing City was filled with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, but now it is completely different. The whole city is like a sacred city, which makes the Southern Wilderness monks who practice evil ways quite uncomfortable.

"We will obey the orders of the Lord of the Realm!"

Inside Nanxing City, monks from the Southern Wilderness knelt on the ground, shouting slogans. The sound shook the whole area and resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

Xiao Minghuang's eyes swept across the entire Nanxing City, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face, and then she waved her hand gently and said softly: "You all should stick to your old customs, and there is no need to change them for the time being."

"Okay, each of you go your own way!"

After saying this, she disappeared into the sky, leaving all the monks in Nanxing City looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on? I heard that a new official starts with three things to do, but how come Lord Realm Master hasn't done anything except changing his name?"

"Who knows? Maybe the Realm Master hasn't figured out the situation yet. After all, she is a cultivator from the Eastern Pole and doesn't know much about the Southern Wilderness, so she doesn't dare to make any moves."

"Maybe... But how come there is no sign of such a big event as the change of the Heavenly Dao? They said before that they would negotiate peace with Dongji, but how come they have not even negotiated the Demon Emperor... No, even the former master?"

This question is not just in the minds of individual monks.

But almost all the cultivators in the Southern Wilderness have this doubt in their hearts.

"Where's the Demon Emperor?"

In the former Central Demon Palace, now the Nanxing Palace, Xiao Minghuang was also puzzled.

Just now, she did not issue any orders and did not prohibit the Southern Wilderness cultivators from continuing to practice various magic skills. One reason was that the situation in the Southern Wilderness was like this. Even if she forcibly banned it, it would be impossible for her to force everyone to comply given the reality that the Southern Wilderness lacked resources for practice.

The second reason is that the master of the old era, the Demon Emperor, is missing.

Just now, she rewarded the creatures of Southern Wilderness with natural treasures, not out of pure kindness, but out of necessity.

It is true that the Southern Wilderness Heavenly Dao fully recognized her, but for the master of a world, it is far from enough to only get the recognition of the Heavenly Dao itself. The recognition from all living beings in the world is also very important.

But the recognition of the masses is different from the recognition of the way of heaven. It does not require wholehearted submission and complete loyalty, but it is enough to let them know.

As for the conviction or loyalty of the masses, it is dispensable and just icing on the cake.

She wanted to use this scene to shock everyone and announce to all living beings in the Southern Wilds that the era of the Demon Emperor had completely ended, and let everyone in the Southern Wilds know that the current master of the Southern Wilds was her - Xiao Minghuang!

Although, she had just triggered a massive amount of strange phenomena, if the Southern Wilderness Realm Source had not been on the verge of decay, these little bit of Realm Source power would be insignificant, but at the moment, it consumed nearly half of the Realm Source power.

But apart from this, there is really no other way. She must demonstrate her extraordinary skills to let all the creatures in the Southern Wilderness know about it, otherwise the fusion with the source of the world will not be perfect.

Of course, in addition to this, there is a more direct and effective way to announce the arrival of a new era to all living beings, which is to make the masters of the old era surrender... or die!

However, this method is no longer possible.

After Xiao Minghuang dominated the Southern Wilderness, nothing in this world could be hidden from her, and she could naturally perceive that the Demon Emperor was not in the world at the moment. He must have gone far away and disappeared.

"Alas..." Xiao Minghuang sighed softly, "If the Demon Emperor was still alive, we only need to kill him to shock all the people in the Southern Wilderness. Unfortunately, this guy ran too fast..."

Just as she saw before her, in addition to the Shura Ancestor, there were still several deep and vast existences hidden in some ancient secret places in the Southern Wilderness. Although they were hidden very deeply, nothing could hide from the perception of the master of the world.

When she attained enlightenment and was proclaimed emperor, announcing her to all living beings, they did nothing. They did not come to congratulate her like the Shura Patriarch did. They just watched silently, seemingly not fighting and tacitly submitting. But in fact, their failure to show up to congratulate her also revealed a certain attitude.

That is...wait and see.

They don’t know how long this young emperor from a foreign land can dominate the Southern Wilderness?

Or... after living out the remaining dozens of years of life, you will perish along with the world!

Originally, Xiao Minghuang planned to go to the Western Land and the North Sea after integrating the source of the Southern Wilderness, seek the origin of the two realms, continue the Southern Wilderness Heavenly Dao, and then return to the Eastern Pole, summon his companions, and start a decisive battle with the Eastern Pole Emperor.

The plan was perfect, but something went wrong at the first step.

"Under the current circumstances, I simply cannot leave the Southern Wilds. Once I leave, I'm afraid those ancient earth immortals will rebel immediately!"

Xiao Minghuang thought in his heart that the decline of the Heavenly Dao and the end of the era would have limited impact on the Earth Immortal Ancestors. They were protected by immortal energy and would not suffer a huge backlash. They could even easily move to other worlds.

So, for a world that has little value and is about to die, the last choice they can make is to try their best to save it and save innocent lives?

Or will they use whatever means necessary to make a final profit and run away before the world truly falls?

All of this is undoubtedly a fatal temptation to those earthly immortal ancestors.

Xiao Minghuang knew very well that once she left Southern Wilderness, those seemingly silent earth immortal ancestors would definitely take action and snatch away everything that was left in Southern Wilderness and would not leave even a single spiritual herb for her!

Therefore, before leaving the Southern Wilderness, she must first resolve these hidden dangers.

First, she must know where these earthly immortals are.

Think about this.

As soon as Xiao Minghuang had a thought, a force of origin of the world spread out from his body, sweeping out, silently spreading to every corner of the Southern Wilderness world, every inch of void, and every infinitesimal dust particle, and there was no trace of the force of origin of the world.

After the fusion of the world source, the Southern Wilderness world is equivalent to her small world. In the Southern Wilderness, Xiao Minghuang is almost equivalent to an omnipotent god!

However, even with the power of the source of the world, she still could not immediately search for the locations of those hidden earth immortals.

"Is it hidden so deeply?"

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she was not angry.

Before this, when she declared her dominance to the world, she had already closed all the passages to the Southern Wilderness World. If those hidden earth immortals wanted to leave, they could only break through the boundary wall by force. Once they did so, it would be impossible for them not to be noticed by her.

If they did not force their way through the boundary wall, she would only need a relatively short period of time to search, and she would be able to exhaust every detail of the void and eventually find their traces!

And the fact that they tried so hard to hide their tracks also showed their attitude.

That is, he had no intention of reconciling with Xiao Minghuang at all, and tried to fight her to the end!

Xiao Minghuang snorted coldly: "If that's the case, then you can't blame me!"

As she finished speaking, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the world around her suddenly changed. Every inch of the void seemed to disintegrate, returning to its most primitive and original state of the Dao runes, floating chaotically in the nothingness where nothing existed.

All the secret realms, formations, and even small worlds hidden between heaven and earth were exposed before Xiao Minghuang's eyes.

......

In a secret little world in the Southern Wilderness, five earthly immortal ancestors sat cross-legged with solemn expressions and calm eyes, but their hearts were churning and difficult to calm.

Xiao Minghuang had just attained enlightenment and proclaimed himself emperor, and announced it to all living beings, so they naturally got the news first. However, after some consideration, they did not show up and show their goodwill.

After all, as a powerful earth immortal, he could naturally sense that the Southern Wilderness Heavenly Dao had only a few decades left. For an earth immortal whose lifespan was measured in tens of thousands of years, this amount of time was just a blink of an eye!
