Chapter 1502: Chapter 655: Ji Xiuning Arrives! Sea of Misfortune!
Why is the tomb of the Ghost King located in the Sea of Misfortune?
This is because the last visual image left by the Eye of the Ghost King gazing at the starry sky was roughly deduced by the Mirror Demon King by comparing the positions of the stars in the sky.
However, the moon and stars in the sky are really too far away, so the positions of the stars are pretty much the same when viewed from any corner of this world.
The Mirror Demon King reached the conclusion that the Tomb of the Ghost King is in the Sea of Misfortune through extremely complex calculations and understanding gained from contact with the Ghost King.
Of course, the so-called Tomb of the Ghost King may not actually be a grave but rather refers to the place where the Ghost King died.
When the Ghost King released his spiritual perception to explore the cosmic starry sky, he accidentally discovered the secret of the moon.
Then, it encountered a catastrophic disaster.
The Ghost King was extremely powerful, almost uniting a third of the Southern Barbaric Lands by himself.
Such a Ghost King should have been invincible in the world, but… actually, it was not.
Perhaps the things on the moon contain the highest secrets of this world. The mysterious power on the moon is so immensely strong that even the Ghost King could not resist it.
After discovering the secret of the moon, the Ghost King knew he was doomed.
He arranged his affairs slightly, then chose a place to die!
It is said that the Ghost King should be immortal, but in the face of absolute strength, he would still die.
According to the deductions of Lanling and the Mirror Demon King, even if the Ghost King were to die, he wanted to leave something behind.
He wanted to go to a place where no force could reach to die, so he chose the Sea of Misfortune.
It is a common knowledge among the high-ranking members of the Demon Race that the Sea of Misfortune is said to harbor the greatest ruins of the Ancient Misfortune Demon Kingdom, the greatest secret.
Yet, until now, no one has been able to discover where this secret is.
Legend has it that the location of the Sea of Misfortune is the Misfortune Demon Capital of the ancient Misfortune Empire, the once most powerful and glorious city of the Demon Race.
However, a star from the heavens destroyed the Misfortune Demon Capital, turning the once largest city of the Demon Race into a massive depression. Over countless years, this depression filled with seawater, becoming the largest inland sea—today’s Sea of Misfortune, a 350,000 square kilometer Sea of Misfortune.
How long ago was the Ancient Misfortune Empire?
I don’t know, maybe hundreds of thousands of years, maybe even longer.
The Sea of Misfortune hides the ruins of the Misfortune Demon Capital. Many people know this secret. However, no one has truly discovered the secrets within, nor has anyone found the ruins of the Misfortune Demon Capital, though many ruins of the Misfortune Empire have been found around the Sea of Misfortune.
But the ruins of the Demon Capital, said to be destroyed by a cosmic star, have never been discovered.
Others may not have discovered it, but the Ghost King may have, for he is a pure soul creature that can use perception to explore this world.
According to the deductions of Lanling and the Mirror Demon King.
The Tomb of the Ghost King is within the ruins of the Misfortune Demon Capital of the Ancient Misfortune Empire.
The ruins of the Misfortune Demon Capital lie in the Sea of Misfortune.
Even the powerful forces on the moon have not discovered the ruins of the Demon Capital, otherwise, the Ghost King would not have chosen to die there.
So Lanling is faced with an enormously daunting challenge.
The high-ranking members of the eight major Demon families in the entire Southern Barbaric Lands know that the ruins of the Misfortune Demon Capital lie within the Sea of Misfortune, yet no one has found it for tens of thousands of years.
How could Lanling, compared to the powerful forces of the eight major Demon King families who have spent tens of thousands of years searching for the ruins of the Demon Capital, possibly find it?
This should be a peerless mystery.
The Sea of Misfortune is located at the junction of the territories of three Demon Tribes: the Rakshasa Tribe, the Asura Clan, and the Dichacha Clan. Find the newest release on novel[f]ire.net
Lanling and Gou Li rode on three Chimera Beasts, flying at an altitude of 20,000 meters towards the Sea of Misfortune.
At an altitude of 20,000 meters, only these energy creatures, the three Chimera Beasts, can reach; other creatures like dragon eagles or griffin beasts cannot fly to this height.
Moreover, the griffin beast can only fly less than a thousand miles before it needs to rest and be fed.
But the three Chimera Beasts can fly 15,000 miles without rest or food.
Only by flying this high would Lanling be safe from attacks.
15,000 miles is merely a day and a night’s journey for the three Chimera Beasts.
Twenty-four hours later, Lanling had flown over the Sea of Misfortune.
It truly is a miraculous sea.
Looking down from an altitude of 20,000 meters, it truly is a perfect circle. Just like a circular mirror embedded in the earth, a crystal-clear magic mirror.
This discovery astonished Lanling.
From the sky, this 350,000 square kilometer sea surface is actually a perfect circle.
In this world, no natural inland sea would ever be a perfect circle. Such an absolute circle must be caused by external forces.
Now Lanling was somewhat convinced that the Sea of Misfortune was caused by a celestial body impacting from outer space, and it was an absolutely circular celestial body?
After reaching the Sea of Misfortune, the most difficult part was just beginning.
He needed to find the ruins of the Demon Capital within this 350,000 square kilometer inland sea.
How large is 300,000 square kilometers?
Twice the size of Jiangxi Province, having to find something in such a vast area is truly like finding a needle in a haystack.
Lanling began to descend, and when he was still a few dozen meters above the sea, he and Gou Li jumped directly into the water.
When searching for ancient ruins, anyone’s first instinct is to look at the seabed.
