Chapter 173: Chapter 15 How Tall is the Demon Lord? (Super Large Chapter of 5000 Words)_2
The once great powers of the Five Domains, to maintain their own status, would never have passed on their family’s cultivation techniques.

Not to mention specially sending people to instruct others.

This was simply…

The elder was unable to describe such a measure.

He only felt that the thoughts and considerations of the Demon Venerable were completely beyond those of ordinary people.

“Grandfather, I want to go to the Central Region, and visit the Sacred Land of Demonic Tao…” the young girl whispered at that moment.

The Sacred Land of Demonic Tao was the very Underground Palace where Lin Yuan cultivated.

Over a century, this underground palace had become a sacred site in the Five Domains, with countless cultivators going there to pay their respects.

Of course.

To avoid disturbing the Demon Venerable, all cultivators could only observe from fifty leagues away from the Underground Palace.

“The Sacred Land of Demonic Tao?”

The elder was somewhat hesitant.

But upon recalling that he had never opposed the Demon Venerable over the years, his expression quickly became calm.

“Alright.”

The elder nodded, giving his consent.

…

Beneath the Underground Palace, next to the Vitality Spring.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura completely withdrawn, as if he was in an entirely different space.

Seemingly illusionary, seemingly ethereal.

[Name: Lin Yuan]

[Role: Holder of the Myriad Realms Gate]

[Bound Talent: Heaven-Defying Comprehension]

[Current State: Consciousness Descent]

[Remaining Stay Duration: One hundred forty years]

…

“One hundred forty more years of staying duration…”

Lin Yuan glanced at the ethereal text below his line of sight and thought to himself.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already been in this world for one hundred and sixty years.

The three hundred-year stay had almost imperceptibly passed by a large part.

“The Sixteenth Realm…”

Lin Yuan examined himself.

A hundred years had elapsed, and Lin Yuan had broken through two realms, from the Fourteenth Realm to the Sixteenth Realm.

However, upon entering the Sixteenth Realm, Lin Yuan faintly felt that this realm seemed to be the limit of this world.

Advancing further might provoke the innate rejection of the world.

Perhaps directly expelling Lin Yuan from the world?

“No, that’s not right.”

“The limit of the world should not be merely the Sixteenth Realm.”

“Is it because of that ‘Black Hole’ to the north?”

Lin Yuan’s thoughts surged as his gaze once again drifted northward.

More than a hundred years ago, Lin Yuan had detected a massive black hole to the far north, beyond the Endless Sea Domain.

This black hole, at every moment, was devouring the Heavenly Earth Vital Energy of this world.

As a result, the upper limit of the world’s powerhouses had been decreasing again and again.

Fifty thousand years ago, even a hundred thousand years ago, there were traces of Eleventh Realm Powerhouses.

Yet, in the recent tens of thousands of years, the Tenth Realm has become quite rare.

Perhaps tens of thousands of years later, even powerhouses of the Ninth Realm will become a legend.

It was due to that ‘Black Hole’ that the upper limit of this world had decreased and was almost unable to accommodate Lin Yuan anymore.

“Over tens of thousands of years, whenever a Tenth Realm powerhouse emerged, they would disappear from the Five Domains within just decades or a century, perhaps heading for that ‘Black Hole’ to the north… ”

Lin Yuan looked thoughtful.

After the Demonic Tao unified the Five Domains, he had greatly increased access to historical records, understanding the final actions of those Tenth Realm powerhouses over tens of thousands of years.

While Lin Yuan was pondering over this ‘Black Hole,’

he seemed to sense something, emitting a slight sound of surprise, and turned his gaze toward the east.

Under Lin Yuan’s perception, thirty leagues away from the Underground Palace, two figures were stealthily approaching.

One was the form of an elderly man, possessing the power of the Ninth Realm.

The other was a girl in her teens, currently full of curiosity and inspecting the direction of the Underground Palace.

Lin Yuan’s gaze fell on the young girl.

“The Bai Family still has descendants…”

Lin Yuan closed his eyes, feeling a sense of nostalgia welling up within him.

The Bai Family had significant ties with Xiahou Yuan, who hadn’t yet achieved greatness in his demonic practices when he fell in love with the direct daughter of the Bai Family. Later, because Xiahou Yuan made too many enemies, the Bai Family was implicated and exterminated from top to bottom.

The Bai Family held a special significance for Xiahou Yuan.

Back then, ‘Luan E’ from the Tianjian Sect, under the guise of Bai Qing’er, approached Xiahou Yuan, which is how she managed to gain Xiahou Yuan’s trust.

It was because she pretended to be a ‘descendant of the Bai Family’s bloodline.’

Otherwise, how could a cold and ruthless man like Xiahou Yuan invest so much emotion in a woman? Finally, his mental state was forced, and he was suppressed in the eighteenth layer of the Great Abyss Underground.

However, now.

Lin Yuan once again felt the aura of the Bai Family bloodline from that young girl.

This type of bloodline was not the disguise like Bai Qing’er’s; it genuinely originated from the depths of her lineage.

…..

Thirty leagues from the Underground Palace.

The elder was somewhat nervous; they were now within thirty leagues from the Underground Palace, having ventured far deeper than the designated fifty leagues.

“Xiao Bai, are you sure it’s all right to be this close?”

The elder asked again.

Originally, he had come with the young girl, like other cultivators, to slowly view the area from fifty leagues away from the Underground Palace.

But as the girl was exploring, she led the elder along a small path within the fifty-league boundary, until now, when they were only thirty leagues from the Underground Palace.

This made the elder sweat coldly when he thought that just thirty leagues away was the Demon Venerable Xiahou Yuan, who could level the Tianjian Sect with one step. The elder’s legs grew weak.

“Grandfather, what are you afraid of? I specifically found out about this path; many people have walked it, just to get closer to the sacred site for a better view…”

The girl led the way in front, her tone brimming with excitement.

“Are you sure?”

The elder was now somewhat regretting bringing the girl here.

Though the girl was not his biological granddaughter, having been found by him in the wild,

the elder’s affection for her was genuine, always treating her as his own granddaughter.

“Absolutely sure…

“Before us, many have already used this path to visit, and no problems occurred.”
