Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1499 - The Queen Mother's Fatal Question... Loved, Bao Da

Chu Hao was startled by his own thought, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt his deduction was correct.

The Queen Mother, or rather the Heavenly Court, never knew that the soul jade would lead to the Emperor's Tomb… No, or rather, the place they entered was completely different from the place he entered.

Moreover, they definitely didn't obtain any treasures left behind by the ancient demon race inside, otherwise, they wouldn't have given such crucial things to him so easily.

This wasn't something that could be given simply because of a good relationship or because Chu Hao was an important minister of the Heavenly Court.

If the Heavenly Court had really seen the Celestial Emperor's Tomb and could obtain the demon race's treasures, then this Celestial Emperor's Tomb would definitely be an invaluable strategic resource for the Heavenly Court, and they wouldn't hand over this Emperor's Tomb even if they killed the Jade Emperor a hundred times.

The only explanation was that the Heavenly Court must have tried to enter the Emperor's Tomb for a long time, but they couldn't get anything.

Not only couldn't the Heavenly Court get anything, but even the West probably didn't have any good things appear, otherwise, in the current Journey to the West era, there wouldn't be such a fragmented phenomenon.

If the Heavenly Court or the Western Paradise could, like Chu Hao, try to control the corpses of the strong in each Emperor's Tomb, then at least they would see the strong from the Lich War in the Journey to the West, instead of just some remnants.

The Heavenly Court and the Western Paradise couldn't enter that Emperor's Tomb, and it was after countless years of experimentation, so the Heavenly Court was so generous in giving the soul jade to him…

Wait… Could it be that Ni Chang's disappearance into the Emperor's Tomb was also the work of the Heavenly Court?

No, it's more likely to be the work of a Sage?

What exactly is going on?

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Chu Hao's mind, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he even felt a little panicked.

Chu Hao also knew that this was not the time to joke around, but it was obviously impossible for Chu Hao to tell the truth,

At least, not now.

Behind the Queen Mother were Daozu and the Six Sages. Chu Hao indeed had several allies on the surface, but once it involved such an invaluable treasure like the Emperor's Tomb, treasures always belonged to those with strength.

Chu Hao didn't think he was stronger than the Six Sages.

Immediately, Chu Hao opened his mouth and said:

"Isn't it normal to know about the Emperor's Tomb? If the Lich races were not dead, they would never give up, and would definitely launch a large-scale attack."

"Moreover, everyone knows that after the Lich War, both sides suffered heavy losses, especially including the demon race's royal family and the witch race's twelve ancestral witches, who were basically all dead."

"Even the Great Sun Tathagata is now moving bricks in my Law Enforcement Hall. If his father hadn't died, would he let me do this? Could it be that the surviving members of the ancient Heavenly Court's demon race are still alive?"

Chu Hao was not a Heavenly Court newbie, and when it came to deceiving and swindling, Chu Hao was definitely the ancestor, so he spoke lightly, without any psychological burden, and even the expression on his face was so natural.

The Queen Mother's beautiful eyes were full of nobility and doubt, constantly observing the expression on Chu Hao's face,

And Chu Hao also did not dodge at all, constantly gazing at the Queen Mother's swan neck and the scenery below, an ultimate one-for-one trade, not a loss at all.

It wasn't until the Queen Mother couldn't stand Chu Hao's rogue gaze that she glared at Chu Hao with a fake anger,

"Don't look anymore…"

Chu Hao still stubbornly stuck out his neck, with a look of fearlessness, his eyes widened,

"You can beat me to death, but you can't stop my infatuation with you."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but turn her head away, feigning anger, but couldn't help but chuckle, and then felt it was undignified, so she just gently put on her gauze robe.

Chu Hao gritted his teeth, almost putting his face up to her.

The Queen Mother pointed Chu Hao's head with her slender jade finger, and said helplessly:

"We're talking about serious matters, don't be a rogue."

Only then did Chu Hao sit upright and obediently put his eyes back on the Queen Mother's beautiful face,

Chu Hao had a kind of preference in his heart, the Queen Mother's face was the number one in the Three Realms and Six Paths, no rebuttal allowed!

The Queen Mother smiled and said to Chu Hao:

"Don't think too much, I didn't question you about anything."

That is to say, only I can see those things!

What the hell is going on?

After thinking for a moment, Chu Hao said very sincerely:

"Actually, I know the key you gave me, I've seen that thing in the Abyss, it's called Soul Jade."

"In the Abyss, I have seen the Abyss Demon Race use Soul Jade to carry information. This information can be exercises, memories, etc., and can even be used as a key."

"But the strange thing is that the Demon Race itself seems to regard this Soul Jade as a treasure. What is the origin of this thing?"

The Queen Mother was not one to answer every question. She shook her head,

"This cannot be told to you, you will know when the time comes. This matter involves many unknown details of the Lich War, and also involves the great calamity of the Three Realms and Six Paths today. Telling you will do you more harm than good."

"This time I tell you that it is indeed the Tomb of the Heavenly Emperor. In addition, as you just said, they may still be alive."

Chu Hao asked suspiciously: "What do you mean by 'they'?"

The Queen Mother looked at Chu Hao calmly, word by word: "The ancient demon race and the witch race."

Chu Hao was shocked, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The son of the demon race's Heavenly Emperor has been tricked by me to work. If they were alive, they would have come to kill me long ago?"

The Queen Mother's eyes had been on Chu Hao's face, and she nodded as expected,

"It's normal for you to have this idea, but currently in the Three Realms and Six Paths, within the Outer Realm, their corpses cannot be found, and no souls of any remnants of the demon race can be seen in the Reincarnation."

"Although the witch race does not have the concept of a primordial spirit, after the Lich War that year, many people searched all over the Outer Realm, but they could not find the corpses of the witch race."

"In addition, in the Three Realms and Six Paths for so many years, the spiritual energy has become increasingly thin. If the Lich races died, they would naturally turn into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but until now, no recovery has been seen."

"Therefore, after the Six Sages deduced, they felt that the Lich races were not dead."

Chu Hao's expression showed seven parts of shock, two parts of panic, and one part of doubt,

"Impossible, it's been so many years, several kalpas have passed, who can live so long?"

However, the Queen Mother said helplessly: "But the fact is so."

Chu Hao also suddenly slapped his thigh, "Wait, could this be related to the first time the Queen Mother ordered me to use the Immortal Slaying Sword to suppress the demons in Beiju Luzhou?"

The Queen Mother chuckled, "I like your cleverness."

"I also like you," Chu Hao said with a gentle smile.

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes and suddenly asked: "By the way, can you tell me what you saw after entering with the Soul Jade?"

Chu Hao was shocked in his heart, it's over, another question that could cost him his life!
