The Demon King of Nowhere said ruthlessly, and his face was contorted in rage.

“Tiger King Di Zun, you deserve to die—you deserve to die!

“I, Nowhere, swear to the Deep Abyss… that I will tear you in a million pieces and crush your soul!

“Tiger King Di Zun, just you wait!”

His vengeful voice was heard, and the words were spat out between clenched teeth. His entire body was shaking with rage.

The vengeance he felt could not be washed away even if the waters of up to five lakes and four oceans were used.

It was not known how much time had passed before the Demon King of Nowhere finally pulled himself out of vengeance.

He started to calm down and thought of solutions.

He was determined to conquer Earth. He was already certain that Earth was the chance of his lifetime.

Once he conquered Earth, he could definitely become a true elite.

However, the damned limit imposed by the world passage was the biggest obstacle.

The humans on Earth and the damned Tiger King were nothing to him at all, and he could destroy them with a wave of his hand.

However, he could not enter Earth.

With the abilities of his subordinates… he thought for a moment and snorted.

Only a Fourth Realm could defeat the Tiger King Di Zun; that made his subordinates useless. Making another clone would also be useless as the world passage was too incredible.

It did not allow power that exceeded the limit to pass through at all.

Then, what should he do?

He repressed his hatred to think harder. Maybe I should cooperate with other demon kings and attempt to force ourselves through the world passage?

No way. I can’t share this treasured land with the other demon kings!

Not even I know how to find a way around the world passage, much less the other demon kings.

If I worked with the other demon kings, not only would there be no solution, but I would have also given away the news of this supreme treasure with them. No way, no way!

As for sharing the information with more powerful demon emperors…

The thought had never crossed his mind. He was not a fool, and sharing the information with more powerful demon emperors meant courting death.

The more he thought about things, the more impatient he grew. Must he really wait for the spiritual energy of Earth to increase by itself until the world passage could allow him to pass through?

No, he couldn’t. The more he waited, the more uncertainties there would be.

He couldn’t wait that long.

After much thinking, eventually, only one solution remained.

He could only infiltrate Earth slowly and wait for the right timing.

As he pondered, he could not hold it in anymore and threw a smack into the air, causing a mountain in the distance to collapse.

I will have Earth!

And Tiger King Di Zun shall die.

…

On Earth…

After the battle in the capital of Russia, Russia began preparing for war.

All the human alliances had their attention on the events unfolding.

Wang Hu was also ready to leave Tiger King’s Cave anytime.

China was also assembling its elites.

Russia was on the brink of war, and everyone had their nervous eyes fixed on the Deep Abyss world passage.

The Russia Alliance deployed numerous Third Realms to monitor the world passage around the clock.

However, as day after day went by, they did not detect anything from the Deep Abyss world passage.

Before long, two months of being ready for war passed by.

In the Tiger King’s Cave…

Wang Hu, who had loosened up aplenty after two months of inactivity from the Deep Abyss, was being entertained by a daily show that took place.

He stood far away as he looked at Silly Girl instructing Ling Shuang and the cowardly fox.

“Why are you so stupid? You have learned this attack-type special ability for months, but you have not even acquired the basics! How stupid. Get up and continue learning!”

Silly Girl berated sharply, and it was laced with her impulse of wanting to destroy a mountain.

It was followed by a resounding reply.

“Yes, Queen, can you let me practice on my own?”

“What do you think? Do you think you could pick up the special ability if I let you practice on your own?” Di Baijun said exasperatedly, feeling extremely disappointed.

Su Ling did not dare to rebut anymore. She held in her chagrin, stopped her tears from falling, and maintained a frosty expression. With a loud voice, she said: “No, Queen!”

As she spoke, she continued to charge at the incredibly vicious tigress.

Boom!

Gasp!

A sharp intake of breath was heard after the loud blast. Together with the grimace of Su Ling’s face, it was clear that she was holding back an intense feeling of pain. Even Wang Hu’s brow twitched unwittingly as he looked on.

Was it that painful?

Di Baijun’s eyes twitched as well. She was holding back her impulse to smack this cowardly fox.

“Get out! Can you or can you not cultivate?!”

After she finished, her brows furrowed as she took a deep breath. She repressed her exasperation that had already accumulated over the span of months and seemed to understand something. With a cold voice, she said, “Fine, I shall give you one more chance. You can choose a special ability by yourself.”

Clearly, she already realized that the cowardly fox was not suited to learn the attack-type special ability that she especially picked out.

Su Ling kept the pain in check, and her frigid posture unwittingly became wimpish again. She said: “Queen, can it be something other than an attack-type special ability?”

If Su Ling had appeared slightly like a soldier before, she lost any trace of that now and returned to her original state. It made Di Baijun’s brows twitch again.

She decided that it was better for her that she did not see the source of her annoyance, so she turned around and said with a frosty voice: “Yes.”

It was apparent that this cowardly fox was truly not suited to cultivate attack-type special abilities. After months of trying, she had given up now.

Su Ling was delighted. The stony pretense that she tried hard to put up immediately disappeared completely.

She contained her urge to ask whether she was allowed to not cultivate any special ability and asked apprehensively, “Queen, I wish to learn a bewitching-type special ability.”

Di Baijun felt herself going crazy. She felt that she had failed again in dealing with this fox that was as timid as a mouse.

It boggled her mind to understand why a Third Realm could be so timid and cowardly.

Bewitching special ability? Hmph!

I can’t imagine what that rascal and my past opponents would think if they found out that I taught a creature to use a bewitching special ability.

However…

After a few seconds of silence, Di Baijun once again repressed her urge to go crazy and said frostily, “I don’t have one.”

Su Ling replied softly and lowered her head, feeling a little disappointed.

Wang Hu shook his head as he looked in the distance. Indeed, old habits would die hard.

Seemed like even Silly Girl could not change this cowardly fox.

Silence fell over them. Di Baijun continued to frown while deep in thought and hesitation.

Su Ling certainly did not dare to say a thing when Di Baijun was silent, and she looked at the incredibly vicious tigress with the corner of her eyes.

She really felt upset. It was really impossible for her to cultivate the attack-type special ability.

She did try hard and was even beaten every day. However, she was just simply unable to pick it up. She was also feeling helpless.

Suddenly, Di Baijun’s frosty voice sounded again: “With the extent of the awakening of your bloodline, there should be some cultivation techniques and special abilities in your legacy.

“Is there nothing related to bewitching?”

Forget it. She would just let the fox specialize in bewitching. It was better than not being good at anything.

If worse comes to worst, I would just say that I gave individualized teaching.

Yes, exactly that.

Individualized teaching.

In the distance, Wang Hu was quite surprised. Silly Girl really relented!

Allowing the cowardly fox to cultivate a bewitching special ability was a compromise.

This cowardly fox managed to make even Silly Girl compromise.

After what just happened, Su Ling instantly threw away the stony pretense that she was made to put up after months of beatings and said softly with a timid voice, “There are a few.”

Di Baijun snorted and said through gritted teeth, “Fine, you shall cultivate those few bewitching special abilities. If you still can’t do a good job, don’t blame me for penalizing you by then.”

“Yes, Queen.” Su Ling immediately abided. She was feeling slightly happy yet disappointed.

She was happy that she finally did not have to cultivate those detestable attack-type special abilities.

She felt disappointed because the incredibly vicious tigress was so stubborn.

Why couldn’t she just cultivate her divine powers? Why must the tigress force her to cultivate special abilities?

She really didn’t want to cultivate those special abilities.

Unfortunately, the incredibly vicious tigress was insistent and forced her to do so.

If it was possible, she certainly did not want to cultivate any special ability at all.

It was tiring enough to cultivate divine power. Were the dramas not interesting enough to watch?

Were games not fun to play?

Was reprimanding those foolish tigers not satisfying?

She did not have to fight at all; what was the point of cultivating special abilities?

If she reached a powerful level of cultivation, would the demon lord and the incredibly vicious tigress suddenly make her fight?

She was not stupid.

Sigh. However, she did not have a choice. Life was too tough for her.

The incredibly vicious tigress was too detestable.

Hence, she could only make a compromise by choosing to cultivate a bewitching special ability which she found easier to accept.

“Why are you still daydreaming? Won’t you quickly cultivate now?!” Suddenly, Di Baijun chided.

Su Ling immediately came back to her senses. She did not dare to rebut and timidly replied, “Yes, Queen.”

Di Baijun felt her blood boil again, looking at her—being timid and all. With gritted teeth, she said, “Is that how you are supposed to look?!”

Su Ling was startled. She had forgotten again. She quickly puffed up her chest and stood up straight. Cold detachment quickly appeared on her naturally seductive face again, and she replied: “Yes, Queen.”

Di Baijun looked at her with disdain. She quelled her unwillingness and said, “Send me a copy.”

“Yes, Queen,” Su Ling said uncaringly.

Wang Hu, who felt he had watched enough, turned around and left.

He felt amused that Silly Girl who had always been a tough nut to crack compromised for the cowardly fox. He did not see that coming.

This prolonged tug-of-war seemed to be won by the cowardly fox for now.

More interesting events might still happen again in the future.

Wang Hu laughed expectantly and returned to the Tiger King’s Cave.

He toured around the Tiger King’s Cave and unwittingly heard some conversations.

In the end, he looked at the two little fellows watching cartoons and started to cultivate himself.

Half an hour later, Di Baijun returned. She no longer felt exasperated and looked rather calm.

Wang Hu stopped his cultivation and was tempted to tease her. “How did teaching Ling Shuang and Su Ling go?”

Di Baijun’s hands unconsciously clenched under her sleeves, while her face remained calm. She said, “All good, everything went well.”

Wang Hu hid his laugh. He looked at Silly Girl and let out a relieved smile. “That’s good, I’m looking forward to seeing what improvements they have made.”

Di Baijun raised her brows slightly and appeared composed. “You can’t yet. They have yet to learn some special abilities. Once I’m satisfied, I will let you see it. No weaklings will come out from my teaching.”

Wang Hu looked at Silly Girl’s confident look, and his smile widened. He nodded and said, “Okay, I will wait.”

Di Baijun’s eyes narrowed slightly, and an unnoticeable fervor flashed across her eyes.

After a while, she stood up and walked out of the room composedly. “I just remembered a special ability that’s suitable for Ling Shuang. I’ll go and impart it to her.”

Wang Hu smiled and continued to cultivate.

Very soon, several kilometers away, a wince was heard. It was accompanied by a frosty voice.

“How dare you slack off?!”

“Queen, I won’t do it again.”

…

Three days later, in the central region of China that was slightly to the north…

A resplendent yellow beam shot up into the skies.

In the beam, a faint appearance of a massive tomb flashed across.

At the same time, an innumerable number of Chinese in China felt a unique attraction appear in their hearts simultaneously.

Some people nearby even walked straight into the tomb.

Very soon, the senior officials of China started to move in, and the troops and elites were mobilized.

The human alliances also turned their attention to the tomb.

A day later…

A cabinet meeting commenced again. Zhang Jianye said solemnly, “We can currently confirm that this unnamed tomb is selecting people.

“We cannot confirm what the purpose of the selection is yet. We can only make a bold guess that it’s picking a successor.

“We are still investigating the people who felt an attraction in their hearts. Currently, we have not identified their commonalities.

“We have also sent many people, including Third Realms. However, once they came out, they all said that they don’t remember a thing. We investigated and found this to be true.

“And after they come out, they cannot enter again.”

The elders were deep in thought after the voice stopped talking.

“Can foreigners enter?” An elder asked.

“They can’t. We have already tried. They can’t even enter the yellow light.” Zhang Jianye shook his head, and a sense of relief could be heard in his voice.

The few elders not aware of this information looked relieved.

“I think that even though this event is still mysterious, we could treat it as a good thing,” Chen Jianguo said.

“I agree. Perhaps, it’s a similar situation like what happened to Little Liu and Little Zhu,” another elder nodded and said.

Everyone agreed. In the end, Dong Pingtao concluded the discussion and said, “Sure, let’s open it to the public. Those among the government and troops, who feel drawn to it, can all give it a try as long as they do not have unfinished work.

“If the public wishes to try, we should not stop them as well. Our task is to maintain order.

“However, to prevent overcrowding and accidents, let’s not publicize it. Block the spread of information online. Leave it up to fate.”

Once the matter was decided, Zhang Jianye continued to say, “We are unable to hide this from the alliances. I’m afraid they would associate this incident with all the times that spiritual energy suddenly increased in the past.”

“So what? Let them think whatever. Things have progressed to this point; they no longer get to sway things however they want now,” an elder said domineeringly.

The others nodded in agreement.

As the cabinet meeting ended and the decision of the cabinet was made, the human traffic that entered and exited from the yellow beam immediately increased drastically.

A huge number of soldiers and people in the vicinity who could see the yellow beam flocked to the site.

Among the citizens, most people who felt the attraction in their hearts brushed it aside, but many of them also traveled to the place.

Another day passed, and the yellow beam remained in the same place. Meanwhile, the longest time that any person managed to stay inside was only a mere hour.

A large number of people queued to enter and exit from it, not knowing what happened.

In the Tiger King’s Cave, Wang Hu received detailed information about the incident from Ji on the third day.

He was shocked. A tomb!

He instinctively felt that this tomb was related to the few instances of spiritual energy increasing and the spiritual energy nourishment in China.

The mysteries of China might also be related to it.

He immediately decided to go and have a look.
