Chapter 727: You've got me in trouble!
Jingxin Garden, though called a garden, is actually so large that it would leave Gu Heng speechless.
To be on the safe side, he didn't use the Swift Boots and relied entirely on his two legs to slowly make his way out.
They walked for two hours without seeing the exit of Jingxin Garden.
"I wonder what brings you to the Demon Realm, sir?"
"The golden bird asked."
"Something's happened, but you wouldn't understand what it is even if I told you."
Gu Heng didn't really know how to answer either.
He came to continue the "Mysterious Heaven Forbidden Tale" mission, searching the Demon Realm for any possible clues, but the system's mission was frustrating at this point, as it provided almost no hints!
It's quite possible that a dog you encounter on the roadside in the Demon Realm might just bark a couple of times and be seen as a "key clue" by the system.
That's pretty funny.
But Gu Heng now has a goal.
That's the key: "world fragments"!
Now, he is basically certain that the reason why the Xuan Tian Realm, which should be "poor and blank" in the eyes of the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm, has been targeted is because of the "world fragments"!
These fragments seem to possess an outrageous, heaven-defying power, and everyone wants to obtain them.
Even beings like the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor cannot help but want to compete for it.
This is a clue that is well worth investigating.
"What kind of person is the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor?"
The journey was peaceful and boring, so Gu Heng started asking questions.
The reason I wanted the golden bird to follow me was so that I could have a knowledgeable guide in the Demon Realm.
"The Scorching Sun Demon Emperor is the most beautiful woman in the Demon Realm, captivating countless people. However, she is also one of the 'Five Emperors' of the Demon Realm, so even though many people want to conquer her, no one has ever succeeded."
The Golden Bird was captivated by the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor not only because of his strength, but also, to some extent, because of his appearance.
Although the appearance of humans is completely meaningless to demons and beasts, they also know how to appreciate human "beauty".
Conversely, humans may not be able to appreciate the beauty seen through the eyes of monsters.
However, it is said that the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor hates men the most and has an extreme and terrifying hatred for them, never allowing any man to come within a hundred steps of her.
The golden bird didn't know whether it was a rumor or the truth, but it always kept its distance from her. Whether it was true or false didn't matter; its life was the most important thing.
One of the Five Emperors?
"There are currently five Demon Emperors in the Demon Realm, whose strength is above the fifth level of Demon Emperor. Therefore, they are called the 'Five Emperors'. Apart from the three Great Demon Lords of the Most Demon Tower, they are the strongest."
"Although the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor is the youngest of the Five Emperors, her strength is definitely enough to contend for the top spot. The Scorching Sun Demon Realm is also thriving. With such a powerful figure as her, the Scorching Sun Demon Realm's strength ranks among the top in the Demon Realm, as far as I know..."
Golden Bird is also a potential chatterbox, and now that it's started, it talks non-stop.
However, Gu Heng didn't pay any attention to it.
He was thinking of the "Great Demon Lord".
Gu Heng then recalled the records in that ancient book.
Both the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm have three beings who stand above the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor. They are known as the Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord.
"If the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm were to go to war, it would be impossible without the approval of the Great Demon Lord or the Great Immortal Lord, right?"
Gu Heng asked again.
"That's natural. No one can disobey the orders of the Most Demonic Tower. I don't know about the Immortal Realm, but I guess it's the same. Whatever the Supreme Immortal Palace says goes."
"The last Five Realms War was actually a war between the Most Demonic Tower and the Supreme Immortal Palace."
The golden bird didn't know why he would ask such a question. Shouldn't this person be a powerful figure from the Immortal Realm or the Ancient Realm? How could he not even know this?
Or.
He didn't come from either the Immortal or Ancient Realms.
"I understand."
Gu Heng understood.
It seems that it's not the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm vying for the Xuan Tian Realm, but rather the three Great Demon Lords and the three Great Immortal Lords fighting for it!
They know very well what they are fighting for!
But everyone else, even the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor, is probably kept in the dark!
As the Immortal Demon Python said, its ancestor, the Immortal Emperor Demon Python, probably only realized before his death that he had been kept in the dark all along, fighting for the Supreme Immortal Palace without understanding why.
This is a conspiracy!
A massive conspiracy!
Six powerful figures, standing above the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor, fought over a fragment of the world, even at the cost of causing rivers of blood to flow through five worlds.
There's nothing fishy going on here, and Gu Heng won't believe a word he says.
"Ah, boss, the exit of Jingxin Garden is just ahead."
The golden bird flapped its wings.
"Don't call me 'boss.' I already told you my name is Gu Heng. You can call me Young Master Gu or Mr. Gu, it's fine." Gu Heng said to the golden bird as he walked towards the exit.
"Well, alright, Mr. Gu."
The golden bird said reluctantly.
Calling someone "sir" is really strange.
"Not bad, this little bird is teachable."
Gu Heng nodded in satisfaction.
Upon reaching the exit of the Tranquil Garden, he realized that it was actually an independent space.
Passing through the portal, he found himself in a quiet...room again?
The room wasn't large, and the decorations were simple. The bed and curtains were white, but they were spotless. There was also a wardrobe next to it. Gu Heng went over and opened it, and found that it was filled with white dresses.
"……This is where?"
"This is the boudoir of the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor." As soon as the golden bird finished speaking, Gu Heng grabbed its slender body and almost crushed it to death.
"You idiot, you're deliberately trying to get me killed, aren't you!"
"You even led me into someone else's boudoir, you just want me dead!"
