Chapter 1368: Boundless Demon Realm
“Husband, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Su Jingzhen’s reaction, You Yue was momentarily stunned.
She then wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and asked softly.
“I finally have a clue about something I’ve been searching for.
My love, come with me to see the Fire Pupil Demon King.”
Hearing this, You Yue was taken aback.
Her gaze at Su Jingzhen became somewhat complicated.
“Husband, are you going to leave the Moluo Realm soon?”
He could sense a slight change in You Yue’s tone, and his heart trembled.
He turned around and pulled her into his embrace.
“My love, if one day you discover that I’m not as simple as I appear on the surface, would you…”
Before Su Jingzhen could finish, You Yue covered his mouth.
“Husband, there’s no need to say such things.
No matter who you are, no matter your true identity, I only remember that you are my husband.
Even if you are not a native of the Moluo Realm, what does it matter?”
You Yue continued to gaze at him with deep affection.
Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled again, and he held her even tighter.
He had always marveled at the fact that he, Su Jingzhen, had somehow managed to gather such remarkable women around him. What had he done to deserve this?
At the same time, lines of golden text appeared before his eyes.

Su Jingzhen was momentarily stunned. His relationship with You Yue had directly reached the sixth level!
When he first arrived from the Immortal Realm, he had never imagined he would encounter someone here who could provide him with 90 points per interaction.
Fate truly worked in mysterious ways.
“No matter what happens, I will never let you down, my love.”
Su Jingzhen looked at You Yue with deep affection as he spoke.
He had already made up his mind. Even if one day the Immortal Realm and the Starry Sky Demons went to war, he would bring You Yue and her beloved Purgatory Demon Sect into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
There, they could start anew.
Not long after, You Yue and Su Jingzhen finished dressing and left the room.
The Fire Pupil Demon King had already sent a message to Su Jingzhen, so they headed straight for the deepest part of the Divine Flame Family.
At a grand hall.
The Fire Pupil Demon King was already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing Su Jingzhen arrive with You Yue, the Fire Pupil Demon King was slightly surprised but didn’t dwell on it. He led the two into the hall.
“Envoy, we finally have a clue about the information you asked me to investigate. It came to light while we were cleaning up the remnants of the Heavenly Water Family.”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart raced with excitement.
Before he could ask, the Fire Pupil Demon King continued, “The Yunmeng Goddess is likely not her real name.
She is not a native cultivator of the Moluo Realm but rather from the Boundless Demon Realm, the second-ranked of the Nine Great Demon Realms of the Starry Sky Demons!”
After a pause, the Fire Pupil Demon King added, “The Boundless Demon Realm’s most powerful sect, the Boundless Demon Sect, has two of the Ten Great Demon Kings.
Among them, the Boundless True Demon King ranks first among the Ten Great Demon Kings.
It is said that he is infinitely close to the realm of a Demon God!
And the chief saintess of the Boundless Demon Sect has an incarnation that was once known as the Yunmeng Goddess!”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart shook once more.
From Dantai Xuening to the Yunmeng Goddess, and now to the chief saintess of the Boundless Demon Sect.
The magnitude of this identity shift was too great for him to process immediately.
“Someone of such status happened to meet me when I was weak and formed such a deep karmic bond with me.
Is this fate, or is it just a coincidence?”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
His expression grew serious.
He looked at the Fire Pupil Demon King and asked, “Can you tell me about the power distribution among the Nine Great Demon Realms of the Starry Sky Demons and the rankings of the various Demon Kings?”
As if anticipating this question, the Fire Pupil Demon King didn’t hesitate. He took out a black jade slip, which radiated intense spiritual energy.
“Envoy, please take a look. This contains all the basic information I’ve compiled about our Starry Sky Demons.”
After a pause, he added, “It took so long to uncover this information, and I must apologize for the delay.
I haven’t paid much attention to younger generations like the Yunmeng Goddess over the years.
Most of what I know is about the older generation, which is why I only found out this information after destroying the Heavenly Water Family.”
There was a hint of apology in his tone.
Su Jingzhen could understand.
A powerhouse like the Fire Pupil Demon King, who had been famous for countless years, spent most of his time in seclusion.
Every force would have outstanding younger disciples, but it was impossible for him to know about every single one.
Not knowing about the Yunmeng Goddess was understandable.
Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness penetrated the jade slip, and he quickly absorbed the information within.
To his astonishment, the Moluo Realm, which bordered the Immortal Realm, was actually the weakest of the Nine Great Demon Realms.
The Fire Pupil Demon King, who was the strongest in terms of overall power here, was only ranked last among the Ten Great Demon Kings of the Starry Sky Demons.
Moreover, according to the information, the Boundless Demon Realm, ranked second, and the Demon God Realm, ranked first, had many Demon Kings who didn’t make it into the Ten Great Demon Kings but were likely no weaker than the Fire Pupil Demon King.
After briefly scanning the information, Su Jingzhen felt a growing sense of despair.
The Moluo Realm, ranked ninth, already seemed stronger than the Immortal Realm on the surface.
Compared to the entire Starry Sky Demons, the Immortal Realm was far too weak.
In Su Jingzhen’s view, even if the Starry Sky Demons had failed to invade the Immortal Realm countless years ago, it likely wasn’t the full force of the Starry Sky Demons.
He sighed heavily.
Su Jingzhen knew that even if the Immortal Realm had hidden forces he wasn’t aware of, they were no match for the entire Starry Sky Demons.
However, the one thing that gave him hope was that the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss had now been restored to 90%.
And his journey had only taken him to the Moluo Realm of the Starry Sky Demons.
If he could travel through all nine demon realms, he might be able to restore the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to its perfect state.
At that time, perhaps he could turn the tide.
“Envoy, are you planning to go to the Boundless Demon Realm immediately?”
The Fire Pupil Demon King looked at Su Jingzhen and asked.
Before Su Jingzhen could respond, he added, “Why not wait a bit longer? The situation in the Moluo Realm is still unstable. With the Heavenly Water Family destroyed, perhaps we can solidify the Divine Flame Family’s position in the Moluo Realm.
Once that’s done, I can accompany you on your journey.”
After learning of Su Jingzhen’s identity as the Demon God’s Envoy, the Fire Pupil Demon King had become extremely respectful and attentive to him.
Whatever Su Jingzhen decided, he would do his utmost to assist.
In fact, the Fire Pupil Demon King now believed that if Su Jingzhen needed to find the Yunmeng Goddess, all matters of the Divine Flame Family could be temporarily set aside.
He would definitely go to the Boundless Demon Realm to ensure Su Jingzhen’s safety.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen shook his head.
“That won’t be necessary.
I’m not in a hurry, and when the time comes for me to go, having Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling by my side will be enough.
The Moluo Realm still needs you to stay and maintain order.
You can rest assured, Demon King. I will handle everything with care. Otherwise, the Demon God wouldn’t have chosen me.”
Su Jingzhen knew that as long as he mentioned the Demon God’s choice and his identity as the Demon God’s Envoy, the Fire Pupil Demon King wouldn’t argue.
“In that case, I won’t say more on the matter.
Envoy, if you ever need any help, the Divine Flame Family will spare no effort.”
While Su Jingzhen and the Fire Pupil Demon King were discussing this, they didn’t avoid You Yue.
Although You Yue was shocked, her curiosity about Su Jingzhen grew even stronger. Her gaze at him became even more tender.
At the same time, more lines of golden text appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

[ Remaining available points: 60,049]
With this triple notification, his remaining available points had once again surpassed the 60,000 mark.
“If I ever need anything, I won’t hesitate to ask, Demon King.
For now, you don’t need to worry about me.”
After speaking with the Fire Pupil Demon King for a while, Su Jingzhen left with You Yue.
The information he had obtained was extremely important to Su Jingzhen.
After making some arrangements, he would indeed set out for the Boundless Demon Realm.
After all, not only was the Yunmeng Goddess, or rather Dantai Xuening, there, but so were Luo Yuebai and Feng Qingya, and even his own bloodline.
When he first crossed over to the cultivation world, he had been alone, with no family or friends.
The women who had formed bonds with him were his most important family and his foundation.
He would never abandon any of them.
Back in Huo Yang’s courtyard, You Yue remained silent for a while before looking at Su Jingzhen seriously.
“Husband, I know that as the Demon God’s Envoy, you have important matters to attend to, and I know you can’t stay here forever.
I also understand that, as I am now, I can no longer be of any help to you.
My greatest asset is the Demon Warrior Legion.
The stage you will face in the future involves Demon Kings, the Ten Great Demon Kings, and even the Demon God.
Since the Demon Warrior Legion has the potential for infinite growth, I must make good use of it. So, if you are going to the Boundless Demon Realm, I may not be able to accompany you for the time being.”
As she spoke, You Yue’s eyes were filled with determination but also reluctance.
She knew that as time went on, Su Jingzhen’s terrifying growth rate would leave her far behind.
If she wanted to be of help to Su Jingzhen in the future, she would have to rely on the Demon Warrior Legion.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen was momentarily stunned.
In fact, when he decided to go to the Boundless Demon Realm, he had already considered this.
The Demon Warrior Legion had too many members.
Although he could bring them into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, with Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling by his side, the Demon Warrior Legion wouldn’t have much use.
Letting them grow on their own in the Moluo Realm might indeed be the best option.
Su Jingzhen opened his mouth to speak, but You Yue covered it again.
“Husband, there’s no need to say more. You don’t need to explain anything to me.
I know you are a man of great deeds.
I cannot hold you back.
Let us each strive in our own fields. I believe that one day, we will achieve the beautiful future we envision.”
As she spoke, You Yue’s star-like eyes shone with a fierce light, filled with a beautiful vision of the future.
Golden text appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes once more, as You Yue delivered another five hits.

“In that case, I will go and train the Demon Warrior Legion. If you decide on a day to depart, come find me three days in advance.”
As she spoke, a faint blush appeared on You Yue’s cheeks.
Without waiting for Su Jingzhen’s response, she flashed away.
Watching You Yue’s departing figure, Su Jingzhen felt a warm current flow through his heart.
With such a Dao Companion, what more could he ask for?
“It’s just a pity that if I go to the Boundless Demon Realm, the only person by my side with whom I have a bond will be Suzhen.
And Suzhen has been in seclusion in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, with little contact with me. So, aside from the fixed points, my points will likely stagnate again.”
Su Jingzhen smiled bitterly to himself.
Without hesitation, he then went to an empty room and sat down cross-legged.
His cultivation had now reached the first stage of the Demon Sage Realm, equivalent to the first stage of the Immortal King Realm.
If he were to go to the Boundless Demon Realm, this level of strength would clearly be insufficient.
After all, even in the Moluo Realm, he couldn’t dominate with this level of power.
In the Boundless Demon Realm, ranked second, it would be even more so.
He couldn’t always rely on Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling, could he?
As he thought this, he pulled up his attribute panel.

[Body Cultivation: Opened 24 Secret Repositories!
Body Level: Immortal King Body (Demon Sage Realm) (First Stage)
Next Secret Repository to Unlock: Xiabai Acupoint (0/4,200)]
“Now, unlocking a secret repository provides less and less of a cultivation boost.
But never mind.
I have 60,000 points to spend.”
After sighing, Su Jingzhen directly chose to allocate points!
[Body Cultivation: Opened 25 Secret Repositories!
Body Level: Immortal King Body (Demon Sage Realm) (Second Stage)
Next Secret Repository to Unlock: Tianfu Acupoint (0/4,400)]
[Remaining Available Points: 56,299]
As Su Jingzhen had expected, unlocking a secret repository now only provided a one-stage boost to his cultivation.
But he didn’t hesitate and continued to unlock the Tianfu Acupoint.
[Body Cultivation: Opened 26 Secret Repositories!
Body Level: Immortal King Body (Demon Sage Realm) (Third Stage)
Next Secret Repository to Unlock: Futu Acupoint (0/4,600)]
[Remaining Available Points: 51,899]
After spending over 8,000 points, Su Jingzhen stopped.
His current cultivation at the third stage of the Immortal King Body was sufficient for now.
He could allocate more points at any time.
After testing his strength again, with the help of Little Green and the world power of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, he estimated that he could now fight against ordinary first or second-stage Immortal Emperors at full strength.
He had truly reached the pinnacle.
However, in the Starry Sky Demons, there were still Demon Kings and the Ten Great Demon Kings. Ultimately, he would have to face the current Demon God.
From the information he had obtained from the Fire Pupil Demon King, the forces he had gathered around him—the Divine Flame Family and the Demon Warrior Legion—were still far too weak.
Even if the eight ancient Demon Kings of Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow, and Universe, Primordial, and Desolate were all restored to their peak states in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, it might still not be enough.
“The road ahead is long and arduous!”
Su Jingzhen’s consciousness wandered around the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The spiritual energy here was already more concentrated than in most of the rare places in the Moluo Realm.
After some thought, Su Jingzhen went to find Huo Yang.
“Brother Jingzhen, are you and Sister You Yue done with your… business?”
Huo Yang blinked her big eyes, a mischievous smile on her face.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen felt slightly embarrassed but didn’t dwell on it.
He said directly, “Take me to the Divine Flame Family’s treasure vault, the largest one.”
He knew that with Huo Yang’s current status in the Divine Flame Family, or rather, the status of the Demon Warrior Legion, accessing the treasure vault would be extremely easy.
Huo Yang was momentarily stunned but didn’t ask any questions.
She nodded and said, “I was just planning to go to the treasure vault to pick out some treasures.
During this trip, in those battles against half-step Demon Kings and even Demon Kings, I could only stand by and watch.
It was really frustrating.
I need to find some stronger items to protect myself.”
Her strength was insufficient, and the power of the treasures she carried was also lacking.
Since she wasn’t a member of the Demon Warrior Legion, even though the Demon Warrior Legion’s achievements were the greatest, they had little to do with her.
So, in this regard, she felt somewhat aggrieved.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s mouth twitched.
This girl’s collection of treasures, if used, would make it difficult for most Demon Sage Realm or even Demon General Realm cultivators to deal with her, even though she was only at the Demon Marquis Realm.
And yet, she still wasn’t satisfied.
Once again, Su Jingzhen marveled at how different the core prodigies of major forces were.
Under Huo Yang’s guidance, the two of them easily entered the treasure vault.
The two peak Demon General Realm experts guarding the vault smiled warmly at them and didn’t stop them. They even proactively explained some of the key treasures in the vault.
The treasure vaults of major forces were generally similar.
Entering it was like stepping into a vast starry sky, with treasures shining with dazzling light.
Each one radiated a strong aura of the Great Dao.
In the Divine Flame Family’s treasure vault, the quantity and quality of the treasures, in Su Jingzhen’s eyes, were no weaker than the core palaces of the eight ancient demon sects in the Trial Lands.
In fact, they might even be slightly superior.
Su Jingzhen’s heart raced with excitement.
He had almost overlooked this treasure trove.
