Book 5: Chapter 26: If You Don't Seek Death, You Won't Die
The mausoleum of the first Demon Emperor was vast inside. It’s not only inside the mountain range but also the entire island. The main tomb where the coffin of the first Demon Emperor rested was on the center of this island.
The three demon kings and a group of loyal demons followed Flower King all the way down, dug into the tomb of the first Demon Emperor from the rock under the island.
The vine broke through a rock layer and then penetrated into it. After perceiving the inner space for a moment, the vine spread out and gave way.
“Go, there are no traps or formations inside.”
Flower King stepped into it first, then the White Crocodile King and the Eagle King hurriedly followed her.
After entering the inner space, the Eagle King snapped his fingers and polished a ball of sparks at his fingertips. The light shone, and the group found that they had arrived in the main tomb of the first Demon Emperor’s mausoleum. The space inside the tomb was vast and quiet. It’s simply an underground palace.
“Look there!”
The White Crocodile King swept his gaze around, and suddenly pointed to a place deep in the darkness and said.
The Eagle King flung the flame at his fingertips to that direction, and the light illuminated things in the dark. It was a giant coffin that was hung in the air with several large chains, covered with talismans.
Everyone held their breath.

On the other side, Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue also succeeded in finding the entrance of the tomb based on the map. They followed the dark stairs of the tomb all the way down, and after reaching the bottom floor, they found that the one that appeared in front of them was spacious enough to allow two horse-drawn carriages ran side by side.
After another ten of meters, mottled murals began to appear on both sides of the passage.
An unknown period of time has passed, thus although the murals on the passage walls used some special paint, the content have long been unreadable. Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue watched them with illumination for a while, but they couldn’t figure it out.
“What is painted on the wall? Let me have a look.”
Wise Immortal took the initiative to invite Ying, and Bai Qiuran picked him up and faced the mural. Look at ‘hair, thread, Chinese, text, net
After watching for a while, Wise Immortal said:
“This mural is about the era of gods. The gods are high in the sky and rule everything in the world. Among them, it seems that there are figures of humans and demons. There should be a follow-up.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuran walked a distance forward with Su Xiangxue, and then found a second mural on the wall.
Wise Immortal continued to scan with his Great Wisdom ability, and then said:
“What this mural says is that one of the humans accidentally discovered a way to condense the energy hidden in the human body into true Qi and cultivate into immortals. He taught this method to other humans, letting humans and demons acquired power and gradually became prosperous.”
Bai Qiuran carried Wise Immortal forward and found the third mural.
“This painting shows that the human race and the demon race united, rebelled against the gods, and overthrew the rule of the gods.”
Bai Qiuran continued to move forward, this time he had seen the end of the corridor, and on the side wall at the end of the corridor, there was a fourth mural.
“This painting shows that after the gods were overthrown, the human race and the demon race started a war.”
After scanning, Wise Immortal said:
“It seems that the demon race has lost that battle. Otherwise, the first Demon Emperor will not die, and there is no need to use great magical powers to isolate the Demon Realm from the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands.”
“So lousy.”
Bai Qiuran scratched the back of his head.
“Speaking of which, has the Demon Race ever defeated the Human Race in history?”
“I don’t know, anyway, in all the battles I know, the demon race has lost.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“It’s commendable for the courage to repeat after many failed battles...but every time the demon race loses, it seems to be a great man appeared on the human side... It seems that the destiny is indeed on the human race’s side.”
“There is nothing to see here, let’s move on.”
Bai Qiuran said.
At the end of the corridor was a huge tomb. There was no coffin here. In the center of the sunken square tomb, a large number of gold and silver treasures piled up on the ground.
“Is this the capital for the comeback?”
Bai Qiuran curled his lips.
“What’s the use of keeping gold and silver treasures... It’s better to keep some spiritual stones.”
“The currency in the demon world is the same as that of the mortal world in the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands. It uses gold and silver and the currency issued by the demon emperor’s court.”
Su Xiangxue explained:
“And God knows how many tens of thousands of years this mausoleum has existed. Even if spiritual stones were stored, the spiritual energy in them should have been completely drained.”
“Who knows? There is also a small probability that spiritual stones will awaken their intelligence and transform into demons through cultivation.”
Bai Qiuran stretched out his hands.
“At that time, it will be the protagonist of the demon race.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Su Xiangxue patted him on the back, and then took out a brand new storage bag from her storage ring.
“I want to take these gold and silver... Do you want to divide it?”
“You are quite prepared.”
Bai Qiuran waved his hand.
“I don’t need it anymore. It’s useless anyway. You can use it to manage your sect.”
After Su Xiangxue collected the treasures, the two of them went through the stairs behind the tomb and continued to the lower level. They stopped and went all the way, avoiding some traps, and smashed a bunch of stone statues. The two came to the deepest part, a huge underground hollow.
At the exit, a spacious stone bridge connected to the opposite side. Under the bridge was a bottomless abyss, and on the opposite side of the bridge was a huge and solemn underground palace.
There was a huge stone stele standing on the bridge. The various patterns made Bai Qiuran feel a little familiar.
“Hey Wise Immortal.”
He shouted:
“Do you old people like to dig a hole in the ground, then build bridges and build monuments?”
“Oh, you can’t say that either.”
Wise Immortal defended:
“After all, emperors and generals like being buried in palaces. Then, when digging holes, they must build an underground palace.”
“Sound logical.”
Bai Qiuran touched his nose.
While the two were arguing, Su Xiangxue came to the stone tablet, she touched the blurred text on the stone tablet, turned her head, and asked:
“Hey, Qiu Ran, bring your skull over and see what is written on it?”
Bai Qiuran brought Wise Immortal over, and Wise Immortal read for a while and then said:
“The above is a structural drawing of the mausoleum. It shows the contents of various tombs, and there is a warning at the end.”
“What warning?”
Su Xiangxue asked.
“The descendants of the demon race, unless necessary, must not disturb the first ancestor’s mausoleum.”
Wise Immortal slowly said:
“Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous and everything will be burned together.”
“What? Did the first ancestor put a self-explosive formation in his coffin?”
Bai Qiuran wondered.
“How do I know? I can only read that much from this stone tablet.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“Great Wisdom is not omniscient.”
Bai Qiuran opened his mouth and was about to speak when a terrible roar suddenly came from the underground palace across from the bridge.
The roar was thunderous as if several giant dragons roared together. After the roar, the underground palace on the opposite side began to shake violently, and even the entire island began to quake.
