Chapter 2176: Chapter 1050: Dragon Demon Island! Messenger of the Lunar Holy Palace

"Aunt!"

When returning to the palace, Lanling was unexpectedly delighted to see the former Queen Yan Chuo’er.

She hadn’t changed much in the past ten years, still wearing a moonlight gown. Compared to ten years ago, she was even more beautiful, more transcendent, and perhaps slightly younger.

Looking closer, she was shrouded in an extraordinary mysterious aura.

Especially her eyes, truly like deep gemstones.

What was most amazing was that her moonlight gown seemed to be one with her delicate body, not only emanating a faint glow wherever she went.

"Ling." Yan Chuo’er smiled at Lanling and said, "It’s been ten years since we last met, and you seem to have undergone earth-shattering changes, yet it feels as though nothing has changed."

Lanling said, "Aunt, the Hell Knight told me that they rescued you ten years ago, and then you vanished. What’s strange is that, after I became the Chaos Emperor, the entire world was under my control. Whenever I wanted, I could search every place. But trying to find you yielded no results. It was only after dispatching numerous troops that I found you on a deserted island in the East Sea, unexpectedly outside my realm’s divine authority."

Yan Chuo’er said, "After being rescued by the Hell Knight ten years ago, I ventured downstream in the East Sea in search of you. But my ship was too small, and I faced numerous storms and waves, completely losing direction, ultimately ending up on a deserted island."

"Did you stay on that deserted island?" Lanling asked.

"The reason I remained on that deserted island was because I saw your father there," Yan Chuo’er said.

"My father, Lord Suo Long?" Lanling exclaimed.

Yan Chuo’er nodded, "Yes, and I saw him more than once. Sometimes just his silhouette, sometimes face-to-face, and sometimes he would even smile and nod at me. I once thought it was an illusion, but seeing him repeatedly made me realize it was indeed not an illusion — more like a mirage. I don’t even know if it was my memory or a temporal mistake. After that, I even saw you."

"Me?" Lanling was puzzled.

"Yes, I saw you," Yan Chuo’er continued, "That was about the second year after I ended up on that deserted island. I was already planning to leave because I knew what I saw of Suo Mo was just a mirage. He was already dead, and I wanted to find you. But then I saw you enter a very peculiar city. All the buildings in this city were floating in the air, stacked layer upon layer, ascending spiral stairs, and you climbed step by step."

Lanling felt a chill, completely in disbelief.

Yan Chuo’er was speaking of the Sky Demon Ancient City, an event only Lanling knew because he ventured there alone.

And crucially, this occurred in the fourth year after he was killed by Zhi Yan. Yet Yan Chuo’er said she saw him in the second year when Lanling was still drifting at sea, not yet fully resurrected.

What exactly was going on?

Lanling quickly approached and gently touched Yan Chuo’er’s cheek and corner of her eye.

Yan Chuo’er closed her beautiful eyes, allowing Lanling to feel.

"Aunt, how old are you this year?" Lanling asked.

"I should be forty-nine," Yan Chuo’er replied.

Lanling said, "Judging by your appearance, it’s about your twenties. Yet when I check your bloodline and body, it’s only thirty-seven."

Yan Chuo’er said, "I’ve also felt that, on that deserted island, I seem never to age."

"Wait..." Lanling reached out to touch Yan Chuo’er’s temple.

"King-level?" Lanling gasped in astonishment.

Yan Chuo’er, at this moment, had reached king-level cultivation?

She hadn’t received any sealing; ten years ago, her cultivation was at most Dragon Ancestor Layer, yet now she had unexpectedly broken through to king-level.

Only the Hell Knight has king-level!

Yan Chuo’er had inexplicably broken through to king-level, and most importantly, her bloodline energy was neither of the dragon nor demon lineage.

"Did you have regular cultivation on that deserted island?" Lanling asked.

"Sort of," Yan Chuo’er said.

Lanling asked, "Did you have food and drink on that deserted island?"

"None at all," Yan Chuo’er replied.

Lanling waved his hand, extinguishing all the lights in the grand hall.

Yan Chuo’er seemed to have night vision, her entire body emitting a hazy holy glow,.

Lanling stepped forward, carefully sensing the energy aura on her body.

No doubt, she indeed was Yan Chuo’er, not someone impersonating her. Because she and Lanling once adventured together, overcoming life and death, once baptized by the last dragon tear.

Therefore, Lanling found her energy aura incredibly familiar.

"Aunt, what’s the name of the island you drifted to?" Lanling asked.

"It has no name," Yan Chuo’er said.

"One moment," Lanling said.

...

Lanling went to the cell and said to Zhi Yan, "Transmit the map and details of Dragon Demon Island to me again, the largest, most detailed."

Zhi Yan glanced at Lanling, then rose, holding Lanling’s temples in her hands, transferring the specific geographic location of Dragon Demon Island to him.

After obtaining the maximized map, Lanling left directly.

Returning to the palace, Lanling returned to Yan Chuo’er’s side and waved his hand grandly.

The entire palace was instantly filled with an image of an endless ocean, a hundred times smaller ocean.

"Here is the Tianshui City Port, heading south for twenty-three thousand miles, and then east for twenty-nine thousand miles, this point is the Dragon Demon Island," said Lanling.

Yan Chuo’er closed her eyes to recall, then nodded and said, "The first time I went because I experienced too many storms and waves, so I lost the sense of distance. But this time I came back by airship, so I remember the distance and direction very clearly. Yes, the deserted island I was on is exactly the place you mentioned."

Lanling closed his eyes to recall.

"I’ve been to this coordinate location more than three times. And my patrol fleet, my airship fleet, including the Skeleton Legion of the Ghost King Empire, have also passed that location more than three times," Lanling said. "Yet before, we’ve never discovered any deserted island there."

Yan Chuo’er was surprised.

Lanling continued, "This time I sent out another air fleet to search for Aunt, but discovered this island. For this, the commander of this air fleet consulted many flight logs and sailing logs to confirm that there was no deserted island at this location. He even submitted a petition, stating that the previous flight fleet and sea fleet deceived me, obviously there was an island, yet they said there wasn’t. I just reviewed more than a dozen navigation and flight logs, none recorded this deserted island."

Yan Chuo’er said, "You mean, this deserted island never existed. It suddenly emerged at some point."

"Yes, it emerged ten years ago, and you saw it, boarded this deserted island. Ten years later, it emerged again, for some reason," Lanling said. "If there are no surprises, it is because the envoy from the Lunar Holy Palace wants to meet with me, that’s why it appeared. That’s why you could be found and brought back to the Human Kingdom. No wonder I, who controls the dominion of all world realms, couldn’t discover its existence at all."

Yan Chuo’er said, "You mean, he is the Lunar Holy Palace’s stronghold in this world? What is the Lunar Holy Palace?"

Lanling shook his head without explanation.

He looked at Yan Chuo’er, this matter is really becoming more and more interesting.

"Aunt, you’ve just returned, but I still need to trouble you to go with me to the Dragon Demon Island, to meet this envoy from the Lunar Holy Palace, October," Lanling said.

"Okay," Yan Chuo’er said.

...

"Zhi Yan, come with me," Lanling said.

"To the Dragon Demon Island? To meet October?" Zhi Yan asked.

"Yes, to meet this envoy from the Lunar Holy Palace," Lanling said.

"Okay," Zhi Yan said.

...

The next day, Lanling packed everything necessary, and with Zhi Yan and Yan Chuo’er, boarded the luxurious airborne palace, flying toward the Dragon Demon Island to meet the Lunar Holy Palace envoy, October.

The straight-line distance from Zhi Du to Dragon Demon Island was about thirty-nine thousand miles.

The luxurious airborne palace flew for three days and three nights before arriving above the destination, with nothing but boundless ocean along the way.

However, there was nothing below, just a vast expanse of blue waves.

"It’s really strange," Yan Chuo’er said, "When I left, this deserted island was still here, and now it’s disappeared."

Lanling said, "Don’t worry, it will appear in three days, coincidentally, three days later is October 15, the night of the full moon."

And so, Lanling’s airborne palace floated above the sea.

The three of them sat cross-legged on the palace square, waiting quietly, with no one speaking a single word.

Lanling firmly believed that the meeting with the Lunar Holy Palace envoy in three days would be very, very interesting, even interesting enough to be revolutionary.

One day.

Two days. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Three days passed.

Night fell!

The moon rises over the sea, sharing this moment across horizons?

A bright full moon hung high in the sky, complete and immaculate like a disk.

The moonlight shone upon Yan Chuo’er, making her delicate figure radiate an alluring and mysterious glow.

The moonlight shone upon the sea surface, phosphorescent glimmers scattered.

Suddenly, the sea surface became silent, all waves subsided.

The whole ocean was like a mirror.

There was a full moon in the sky, and a full moon in the sea.

Then...

A deserted island gradually became substantial from a faint light shadow.

As if transitioning from illusion to reality.

The long-disappeared Dragon Demon Island indeed appeared!

This, is it the Lunar Holy Palace’s stronghold on the Dragon Demon Planet?

Lanling slowly drifted down from the airborne palace, landing on Dragon Demon Island, and shouted, "Lunar Holy Palace envoy October, I am here, show yourself!"
