Chapter 1707: Chapter 767: Divine Tomb Reappears

Yanyan was taken aback.

"Father, do you really have a way to make Di Shen change his mind? But didn’t you say before that even the Heart-Confusing Peach Blossom Gu was ineffective on Di Shen?"

The South Nether Ancient Clan is a clan of ancient witch sacrifices, proficient in various sorceries and demon arrays.

Among them, there is a special type of gu talisman like the Heart-Confusing Peach Blossom Gu Array, which is specifically used to confuse the souls of men and women, controlling their minds.

However, for some reason, Di Shen was naturally immune to this kind of gu talisman, so back then Xi Zhong suggested to Zhan Hen to kill Di Shen.

Yanyan could only watch helplessly as her father and Zhan Hen conspired, colluding with the Demon Clan, to get rid of Di Shen.

If it were now, Yanyan would never want Di Shen to die again.

"That was then. But recently I received news that an ancient grave is about to be unearthed. In that Divine Tomb, there’s a piece of Heavenly Tribulation Peach Blossom Gu Wood. If I can get this divine wood, I am confident I can refine a demon talisman to control Di Shen. However, the grave won’t be unearthed for at least another month."

Xi Zhong mused.

"Father, is this true? Where is the grave now, do you want me to send someone to get it?"

Yanyan showed a look of surprise and joy.

"The grave is called the Taixu Tomb Realm, an ancient tomb group of the Divine Race. It is said to be located at the border between South Nether City and Beiyu Palace. I only discovered this grave after observing celestial signs."

Xi Zhong originally did not intend to explore the divine tomb.

After all, most ancient divine tombs are set with layers of prohibitions and traps, and intruders face certain death or injury.

But once entered, the various treasures within the grave would certainly shock the Three Realms: human, god, and demon.

"Taixu Tomb Realm again?"

Yanyan felt the name was familiar, and after thinking about it, wasn’t it the divine tomb that Hong Mingyue mentioned earlier, the one that Human Clan Demon Hunters have been desperately searching for the divine seal?

Unexpectedly, the divine tomb not only has the divine seal but also an incredible demon plant like the ancient peach blossom gu wood.

It seems that the Taixu Tomb Realm is a place I must go.

"Father, I must stay in the South Nether Ancient Clan in the coming months, and once the Taixu Tomb Realm emerges, I will enter it with you."

The rebirth of Di Shen was like a gift from the heavens to Yanyan—a second chance.

This time, she would not give up on Di Shen no matter what.

Xi Zhong saw his daughter was entangled in emotions, still refusing to wake up, and could only shake his head.

"Your body is mostly recovered, but for now, you need to cultivate more in the Blood Pool. The Primordial Qi in the Blood Pool has been depleted. In the coming days, I will order people to capture enough young souls and pure demon beast blood and souls to sacrifice to the Blood Pool. You should cultivate diligently here, and it’s best if you can become an Intermediate Talisman Master, so you have the power to protect yourself in the Taixu Tomb Realm."

It turns out that the Blood Pool of the South Nether Ancient Clan was refined from the essence blood and souls of hundreds and thousands of child souls, its cruelty evident.

"Zhan Hen is right outside, he’s very worried about you. Do you want to go out and say goodbye?"

Xi Zhong tentatively asked.

"No, I hate him. Father, if it hadn’t been for his persistent delays, how could I have been humiliated? Every time he touches me, I feel disgusted."

In front of Xi Zhong, Yanyan displayed only a look of loathing.

She despised Zhan Hen’s cowardice; her being humiliated by the lowly Human Clan, and he actually just took her and retreated back to the Demon World.

Yanyan did not even know that Zhan Hen had encountered the Marquis Zhongyuan.

Xi Zhong sighed and said no more, leaving the room.

Outside, Zhan Hen, seeing Xi Zhong and Yanyan went in and hadn’t come out for a long time, paced anxiously back and forth on the spot.

"Father-in-law, how is Yanyan?"

Zhan Hen hurried forward as he saw Xi Zhong coming out.

Seeing Zhan Hen’s concerned face, Xi Zhong sighed internally.

Zhan Hen and Yanyan had been married for hundreds of years; the son-in-law was impeccable in every way, but alas, Yanyan’s heart was like stone, never warming up.

After this incident, she became terrified of men, and even if Zhan Hen touched her, she was unwilling.

Xi Zhong thought for a moment and said again,

"Yanyan’s body is no longer in danger. I used the Blood Pool to restore her Primordial Qi, but she needs to stay here for a few more months for complete recovery. The Demon World is currently in turmoil; as the Demon Emperor, you should prioritize the affairs of the Demon Capital, go back first, and later I will send someone to bring Yanyan back."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Hen showed a disappointed look, but when he thought of Yanyan’s recovery, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father-in-law, then I entrust Yanyan to you. I have one more thing to discuss with you. After Yanyan’s recovery this time, I want to have a child with her."

Both demon emperors of the Demon World are considered handsome and charming, yet neither has offspring.

Chi Ye despises women, fleeing marriage constantly, having no offspring makes sense, but Zhan Hen and Yanyan have been married for some time without children, which has led to rumors in South Nether City.

Their conjugal relations occur only once or twice a month, and each time Yanyan takes after-pills.

Zhan Hen had secretly replaced the pills, yet Yanyan never became pregnant.

With time, Zhan Hen began to suspect and wanted Xi Zhong to look into it for the couple.

Upon hearing this, Xi Zhong showed an awkward expression.

He knew all too well the reason behind this.

In fact, over these centuries, Yanyan had been pregnant before. When she discovered her after-pills had been swapped, she would angrily rush to the South Nether Ancient Clan and have Xi Zhong prepare elixirs for her to terminate the fetus.

Xi Zhong had asked for a reason before, but Yanyan would brush it off, saying that since the Demon World remained divided, she needed to focus solely on assisting Zhan Hen in unifying it.

Yet the real reason was known to both Xi Zhong and Yanyan.

This was carried out secretly, and Zhan Hen remained entirely oblivious.

"Zhan Hen, you know that Yanyan has always upheld the South Nether Ancient Clan’s principle of aiming to unify the Demon World. Why not discuss having children after the Demon World is unified? The disappearance of the Beiyu Emperor presents a rare opportunity. If you can eliminate Beiyu Palace in one fell swoop, perhaps Yanyan will fulfill her wish and will settle down to bear you children."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Hen’s previously furrowed brows immediately smoothed out.

Di Shen’s rebirth posed a potential threat to Zhan Hen.

He just wanted to have a child with Yanyan soon, hoping she would commit to living a good life with him.

"Thank you for the guidance, Father-in-law. I will return to South Nether City immediately and ensure that I will conquer Beiyu Palace within a month."

After speaking, Zhan Hen cupped his hands in a salute, swiftly returning to South Nether City.

"A month’s time, just right for the emergence of Taixu Tomb Realm."

Xi Zhong looked into the distant sky, where the Big Dipper Seven Stars hung in the pitch-black night sky, flickering with an eerie green light.
