"What place is this?" Lin Yuan asked directly.
He trusted in the abilities of Warm Protector, who would surely find the place he desired without cutting corners.
"Honored Sovereign," Warm Protector promptly relayed all the information he had gathered.
As it turned out, ever since Lin Yuan was suppressed and sealed in the eighteenth level beneath the Great Abyss twenty-five years ago, the Demon Lord Moyang, once a formidable follower of Xiahou Yuan and at the peak of the Ninth Realm, began constructing an underground palace in secret.
This palace was meant to be the foundation for reuniting the demonic realm of the Five Regions.
It was strategically built over a naturally occurring Qi Vortex of the highest celestial grade, a place with an unparalleled concentration of the world's Qi, extremely rare across the Five Regions and Four Seas.
Moyang had kept the discovery of this vortex to himself, not utilizing it until Xiahou Yuan was suppressed with no hope of escape.
His ambitions were great, but alas, Moyang lacked the terrifying suppressive power Xiahou Yuan held over other demons.
He could never hope to unify all under his command, managing instead to establish a single demonic faction at best.
The construction of the underground palace was a well-kept secret.
