The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 218 Demon God Emperor
The battle ended quickly. After the formation of the Barbarian Ancestor Sect's mountain gate was broken with the help of Qin Yun and Shi Mo, everything was under the control of the Divine Firmament Daoist.

Shi Mo, the incarnation of the Human Emperor, Qin Yun, and Yi Xiao all flew towards Shenxiao Daoist and the others.

The Bai family patriarch, the most senior celestial immortal in the Great Chang world, looked at Shenxiao Daoist's second primordial spirit clone with burning eyes, his heart filled with excitement and envy.

Although the Bai family patriarch had heard the incarnation of the Lingbao Dao Ancestor descend to Lingbao Mountain to preach, and had become a celestial immortal at a young age, he remained at the third level of celestial immortal for a long time. There were too many celestial immortals like him.

In fact, the Bai family patriarch's talent and potential were average, and the gap between him and a monstrous genius like Shenxiao Daoren, who was able to create his own Heavenly Immortal level thunder magic, was too great.

Therefore, even though they are both at the third level of the Celestial Immortal realm, Shenxiao Daoist is much stronger than him and is the number one person in the Great Chang World.

Creating his own thunder technique is one thing, but being able to cultivate a second primordial spirit is another. This is the true foundation of the Biyou Palace lineage, a disciple of the Dao Ancestor!
“Brother Zhang, you’ve been hiding your strength well,” Donghai Tianlong laughed. “I was a little worried about the power of these demon gods forming a battle formation. But you’re full of confidence. It turns out your strength has already reached this level.”

The chubby Bai family patriarch also pouted in annoyance, saying, "Wasn't it supposed to be the third level of the Celestial Immortal realm? He's already surpassed us in an instant."

Shenxiao Daoist said, "I am still at the third level of the Heavenly Immortal realm. My Shenxiao Thunder Technique has not been perfected beyond the fourth level of the Heavenly Immortal realm, so I have not been in a hurry to break through."

"What? You didn't change your main cultivation method?" The Heavenly Demon Queen was somewhat surprised: "There are plenty of powerful methods under the Dao Ancestor's tutelage, yet you want to create your own? No wonder your cultivation is so slow!"

“Master once said that my method has great potential and told me to study it carefully,” Shenxiao Daoist said. “Since Master said so, then I will naturally continue to forge ahead.”

The crowd sighed with regret. Shenxiao Daoist had been unable to break through because he was busy creating his own method, while they themselves found it difficult to even reach the fourth level of the Heavenly Immortal realm!

"Fortunately, Qin Yun and Shi Mo intervened, which allowed us to break the formation so quickly. Otherwise, they would have completely opened the large world passage. If we had gone to great lengths to deal with them, it would have inevitably affected the mortals within the formation, causing considerable trouble," Shenxiao Daoist continued.

The Human Emperor and the others smiled as they looked at Shi Mo and Qin Yun, while the Heavenly Demon Lady looked at Shi Mo with a gleam in her eyes.

"They are all outstanding. It's difficult for Qin Yun to create his own Sword Immortal Primordial Spirit Method, but with Shi Mo's talent, it shouldn't be difficult for him to transcend tribulation and become a Heavenly Demon."

Donghai Tianlong also exclaimed in admiration, "It is truly rare for a demon to possess such talent! It seems that our Great Chang World will soon have another powerful celestial demon."

"Yes," the Emperor and the others nodded in agreement, looking expectantly at Shi Mo.

"Shi Mo, you should be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm by now, right?" the Heavenly Demon Goddess asked.

Shi Mo replied noncommittally, "I want to perfect my self-created method first, there's no rush!"

“It’s not easy to create your own divine and demonic body-refining method! Shi Mo, actually, with your talent, you might become a celestial god or celestial demon even faster if you don’t create your own method,” the Human Emperor couldn’t help but say.

Shi Moze said, "Actually, I want to combine the Divine Demon Body Refining Method and the Physical Body Sainthood Method to create a more perfect and powerful physical body method."

"This is unexpected," everyone exclaimed, exchanging bewildered glances.

Shenxiao Daoist couldn't help but say, "If you can really create it, I'm afraid even the Dao Ancestor might want to take you as his disciple."

"If our Great Chang World had two disciples of the Dao Ancestor, I'm afraid the Demon God World wouldn't dare to covet us anymore," the Human Emperor said.

They spoke these words in a soundproofed manner, not worried that the ruler of the demon world on the other side of the world passage would hear them.

As they spoke, the Demon Lord appeared at the other end of the passage: "Shenxiao Daoist, as expected of a disciple of Biyou Palace. I was worried that this hasty operation would fail, and it really did. It seems that even the most inconspicuous disciple of Biyou Palace should not be underestimated!"

"I was just lucky. If the Emperor had really completed his arrangements and a large number of Heavenly Demons had stormed in, it would have been a real problem," Shenxiao Daoist said humbly with a smile.

"Your Great Chang World is very lucky to have produced a junior named Qin Yun who has ruined my plans," the Demon Emperor said, turning his gaze to Qin Yun beside him.

“Boy, you are very powerful. For a mortal to have such strength. In the future, I will definitely capture you, refine you into a sculpture, and place you in front of my palace. There are currently sixteen sculptures in front of my palace, arranged in two rows. I see them every time I enter or leave the palace. Even the weakest one among them is at the fifth level of the Heavenly Demon Realm! You should be proud to be among them in the future.”

Master Zhang and the others were somewhat annoyed, but they also felt the pressure, because this person was indeed stronger than them.

Qin Yun stared intently at him: "Where is my daughter?"

The Demon Emperor was slightly taken aback, then glanced at Yi Xiao beside Qin Yun: "You can save your wife, but you can't save your daughter, because she's already dead, crushed to death by me."

"A dignified Heavenly Demon actually killed a little girl himself. I despise you. If you encountered someone stronger than you, you would probably kneel down like a dog. What a pathetic and pathetic clown!" Shi Mo suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically as he glared at Shi Mo, his aura becoming violent and his face contorted: "You despicable ant! You deserve to die!"

"Ants? In the eyes of true great beings, aren't you just as much an ant?" Shi Mo sneered. His disdainful look not only broke the Demon God Emperor's defenses, but also surprised Shenxiao Daoist and the others.

At this moment, they were all somewhat dazed and lost in thought, because Shi Mo, who had just said those words, really didn't seem like an ordinary demon!

"Could this kid be the reincarnation of some powerful being?" they couldn't help but wonder.

Before the Demon God Emperor could even utter a furious remark, Shi Mo waved his hand, causing the space in front of him to tremble, and then the world passage collapsed.

With a calm and indifferent expression, Shi Mo said to Qin Yun, "A dignified emperor of a demon god world wouldn't stoop so low as to personally kill your daughter. Besides, he clearly sent your daughter to the demon god world to blackmail you, so why would he kill her so easily?"

"His reaction is wrong! Even if he really killed your daughter, he shouldn't react like this after my mockery. He looks like he's been hit where it hurts. Would a powerful person be brought to his knees by someone he considers an ant?"

Hearing Shi Mo's analysis, Qin Yun's eyes lit up, while the Heavenly Demon Goddess couldn't help but frown and ask, "But why would he lie?"

“I think there might be some hidden story here that we don’t know about,” Shi Mo pondered.

The Human Emperor then looked at the captured demons and gods: "They may know something. We'll find out when we interrogate them later."

“Alright, let’s go back to Shenxiao Sect first,” said Shenxiao Daoist.

Inside the Shenxiao Sect, beside a lake, Shi Mo, Qin Yun and his wife, and the Shenxiao Daoist sat casually, distributing the spoils of war.

This trip has indeed yielded considerable gains. The hundred pieces of top-grade magic armor alone are equivalent to three or four high-grade spiritual treasures. Adding in the weapons and magic treasures carried by the Third Heaven Demon God, the total is also substantial.

After a final discussion and some modest concessions, based on the size of their contributions, Shenxiao Daoist received 50%, Qin Yun received 30%, and Shi Mo and the Bai family patriarch received the remaining 20%.

After dividing the spoils, the next step was to interrogate the demons, one by one.

When they first questioned the Demon God Emperor, after Shenxiao Daoist confirmed the identity of the Demon God Emperor, Qin Yun couldn't help but ask about his daughter.

Unexpectedly, according to that demon god, Qin Yun's daughter was indeed killed for angering the Demon God Emperor, and even the maid who was responsible for taking care of Qin Yun's daughter was killed.

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao turned pale upon hearing this, while the Heavenly Demon Palace Master frowned and asked, "Did anyone see it with their own eyes?"

“No, not at all,” the demon god shook his head.

Shenxiao Daoist then asked the Demon God Emperor why he had paid such a high price to conquer the Great Chang World, but the demon god did not know.

The subsequent interrogations yielded similar results. These demon gods were all guards of the Demon God Emperor, and they had all heard about the murder of Qin Yun's daughter, but none of them had witnessed it firsthand.

"To kill a young girl, and even her maidservant, is very strange," Master Zhang couldn't help but say after the interrogation.

“He is indeed very strong, and he could easily withstand the karmic consequences of killing a few mortals. But there's no need for him to do so, because small things add up over time, and the karmic consequences of killing too many mortals would become enormous. Besides, what reason would he have to kill even a maid when the little girl angered him?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun and Yi Xiao immediately nodded in agreement, as if they had grasped a lifeline.

The Human Emperor frowned and said, "Those demon guards have all heard about the girl's murder. If the child is still alive, where is she? How do we find out?"

“It’s difficult to investigate. We can’t enter that demon god’s world; going there would be suicide,” said the Bai family patriarch.

“So, if the child is still in that demon god world, that emperor wouldn’t be afraid of us taking him, and he probably wouldn’t lie to us and say the child is dead,” Shi Mo interjected.

Qin Yun's expression changed slightly upon hearing this: "Brother Shi Mo, didn't you say he probably wouldn't kill my daughter?"

“Indeed, no. Even if your daughter is no longer of any use, he won’t take action himself. There’s no reason for him to do so before the previous battle ended,” Shi Mo said, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Shi Mo, frowning in thought, continued, "So I suspect that the child is no longer in the Demon God World? She couldn't leave on her own, so could someone have taken her away? The one who can take someone away from the Demon God World must be an existence even more terrifying than that Emperor."

"What would such a being do if it wanted to snatch a child?" The Emperor and the others were somewhat bewildered.

"I don't know. It could be a coincidence, or there could be some special reason. I'm just guessing and speculating," Shi Mo shook his head and said, "The Emperor's reaction when the matter of the child was brought up was really strange!"

"The only way to investigate is through divination," said the Heavenly Demon Palace Master.

Shenxiao Daoist nodded slightly: "To deduce the life of another world in a distant time and space is beyond the capabilities of celestial immortals and demons. Only a great being can do it. It seems we can only ask Puqu Longjun for help."

Qin Yun nodded and simply took out the token to contact Puqu Longjun.

The token, powered by magic, sensed a distant star in a faraway space, where the winding dragon body of the Puqu Dragon Lord was coiled, its enormous scales seemingly imbued with Daoist essence.

His gaze was as dazzling as the sun, making people afraid to meet his eyes. However, when Shenxiao Daoren and the others bowed respectfully, Shi Mo squinted at them, seemingly unaffected.

"Hmm?" A look of surprise and doubt flashed in Puqu Longjun's eyes as he met Shi Mo's gaze.

After Qin Yun made his request, Puqu Longjun turned to look at him and quickly determined the small world where Qin Yun's daughter was through the causal thread.

Puqu Longjun, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, said coldly, "Your daughter is in the Sirius Realm. I can't save her. If you want to save her, you'll have to rely on yourself!"

After saying that, before Qin Yun could react, Puqu Longjun ended the contact, no longer caring about why Shi Mo, a mere mortal, was so enigmatic to him.

Qin Yun was stunned, feeling a mix of surprise, joy, and panic. Even a powerful being couldn't save her, so where was his daughter?
"The Heavenly Wolf Realm, is it the Yellow-Robed Venerable?" Shenxiao Daoist was also somewhat incredulous, and then subconsciously looked at Shi Mo, not expecting that he had actually guessed it.

The others were also puzzled, not understanding why Puqu Longjun had suddenly become angry.

Shenxiao Daoist understood somewhat, because the Royal Robe Venerable of the Heavenly Wolf Realm was also a disciple of Biyou Palace, and was his senior brother.

Of course, with the strength of the Royal Robe Venerable, which is comparable to that of a Great Power, he would not care about his junior brother and probably doesn't even know who he is.

Emperor Robe Venerable was a great demon in the ancient Heavenly Court. Later, he joined Biyou Palace. When the three religions fought each other, Biyou Palace lost and Emperor Robe Venerable and others became prisoners. After the establishment of the new Heavenly Court, he became Kui Mulang, the leader of the Seven Mansions of the White Tiger in the West.

Later, because of his wife and children, the Venerable Emperor in the Imperial Robe went on a killing spree. In a fit of rage, he rebelled against the Heavenly Court and lived in the Sirius Realm. His temperament changed drastically, becoming unpredictable and his bloodthirstiness became extremely strong.

The Venerable One in the Imperial Robe cultivated the method of achieving sainthood through physical cultivation. Although he possessed great supernatural powers and was extremely skilled in battle, he had never been able to become a great being.

After he rebelled against the Heavenly Court, he captured many dragons, skinned them, and extracted their blood to study the mysteries of the dragon bloodline, which naturally led to a very poor relationship with the dragons.

However, he hid in his small world, so even powerful dragons couldn't do anything to him.

Even after leaving the small world, ordinary powerful beings couldn't do anything to him. As a disciple of Biyou Palace, his methods of self-preservation and escape were naturally superb.

The thought that their daughter had dragon blood made Qin Yun and Yi Xiao worried.

Shi Mo said, "You don't need to worry too much. The Royal Robe Venerable is a proud person and shouldn't kill a little girl. Besides, since Lord Puqu Dragon can sense that she is in the Sirius Realm, she should still be alive."

"Yes, she's still alive," Qin Yun said urgently, "but how can I save my daughter?"
