Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

"Guang Chengzi and Randeng have come to pay their respects to Your Highness by order of the Sage." As they spoke, the two bowed to the mixed-blood golden crow seated above.

As a disciple of a sage, and also a disciple of the Chan Sect, being able to offer a bow is already the limit.

The mixed-blooded golden crow above glanced at Guang Chengzi and Randeng, then said to them, "The arrival of a disciple of a sage is an honor to the prehistoric demon race. Please, both of you, have a seat."

Seeing that this hybrid golden crow was so cooperative, Guang Chengzi and Randeng both looked satisfied. Without any hesitation, they sat down.

Seeing the two take their seats, the mixed-blood golden crow didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "May I ask what brings you two to our demon race?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Deng feigned a look of reminiscence and cleared his throat, saying, "Your Highness, I was already active in the prehistoric world during the Lich Wars and witnessed the most powerful era of the demon race."

At that time, the demon race had two demon emperors, Di Jun and Tai Yi. They led the demon race to conquer heaven and earth, and established the Heavenly Court. How prosperous the demon race was then!

Upon hearing this, the mixed-blood Golden Crow's expression darkened, and he said, "Let me let you two know that my name is Chi Jin. Although I possess the bloodline of the Golden Crow, I have no connection with the Demon Realm. What you two are talking about are the past glories of the Demon Realm. What do these things have to do with me?"

“Your Highness is mistaken. Although Your Highness has no connection with the demons of the demon realm, you do possess the bloodline of the Golden Crow. Doesn’t Your Highness want to gain an advantage over the demons?” Ran Deng asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Chi Jin's expression darkened, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, just say what you want to say directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Your Highness, the phoenix sings on Mount Qi, and the Mandate of Heaven has returned to Zhou. The immortals of the Jie Sect are defying Heaven and disregarding all virtues. They are obstructing Xiqi's counterattack on Chaoge at Sishui Pass. We have come here today precisely to ask Your Highness for your assistance."

"Assist the Chan Sect?" Chi Jin laughed: "What benefits would our Primordial Demon Clan gain if we were to come out of seclusion to help?"

Randeng gave Guangchengzi a look, and Guangchengzi immediately understood. He took out the Jade Purity Saint's decree from his bosom and said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, this is the Saint's decree. If the Primordial Demon Race is willing to lend a hand, after the Investiture of the Gods, our Chan Sect will definitely do its best to help the Primordial Demon Race prosper and offer that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi."

Upon hearing this, Chi Jin's eyes lit up. No one could resist the allure of the Primordial Purple Qi, but Chi Jin wasn't stupid. He wouldn't be so easily swayed by a single sentence. He asked expressionlessly, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, Your Highness Chijin can take a look at the Sage's decree!" After saying that, Guangchengzi used his magic to lift up the Sage's decree and send it to Chijin.

Chi Jin accepted the decree and, looking at the vast and immeasurable holy power on it, felt a longing rise in his heart for the first time.

As Ran Deng said, how prosperous the demon race was in the past.

Four Great Demon Emperors! Ten Great Demon Saints! Three hundred and sixty Great Luo Demon Gods! Below the Demon Gods, there are countless Demon Kings, Demon Generals, and Demon Soldiers.

However, in order to open up the demon realm, among the four demon emperors, Emperor Jun sacrificed himself and became the sun of the demon realm. Fuxi was reincarnated, and nine of the ten demon saints also sacrificed themselves. Most of the three hundred and sixty great demon gods also sacrificed themselves.

Chi Jin had heard Kunpeng say more than once that the creation of the demon realm was actually a scheme by the Wu clan, and that Donghuang Taiyi had also betrayed Emperor Dijun and colluded with the Wu clan.

Otherwise, the victor of the Lich War would have been the demon race, which would have become the new protagonist of the world. Emperor Jun would have been able to achieve sainthood through his destiny, instead of becoming the sun of the demon realm and a stepping stone for Donghuang Taiyi to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Kunpeng Ancestor discovered the conspiracy between Donghuang Taiyi and the Wu Clan in the end, which is why he was willing to bear the infamy and lead a small group of demons to flee far away, thus preserving some demons who were loyal to Emperor Jun.

Now, the ancient demon race is hiding in a corner of the northern part of the ancient world, barely surviving.

Donghuang Taiyi, however, achieved the status of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal by stepping over the corpse of Emperor Dijun, and also controlled Emperor Dijun's only child, making him the nominal Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm.

Nowadays, the myriad races of the primordial world have probably long forgotten what the original demon race was like, and only remember the demon race within the demon realm.

If, after the Investiture of the Gods, one can obtain the help of a sage and acquire that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, then whether it is oneself, or the Kunpeng Ancestor who becomes a saint, the prehistoric demon race will all prosper.

Thinking about this, Chijin almost agreed immediately.

Just then, the goat-like monster below cleared its throat and said, "Ahem! Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, and we must discuss it with Ancestor Kunpeng."

Upon hearing this, Chi Jin seemed to wake from a dream. He nodded and said, "Fellow Daoists, please go back first. I need to discuss this with Ancestor Kunpeng."

Guang Chengzi was somewhat unwilling upon hearing this, and was about to speak when Randeng stopped him.

It's clear that the person in the red gold is already interested. At this point, saying anything more would only make things worse. It's best to leave quickly and avoid creating any more complications.

Then Randeng spoke up, saying, "Such a big matter should be discussed with Fellow Daoist Kunpeng. We will take our leave now. If Your Highness makes a decision, you may send us a message through the Sage's decree at any time."

After saying this, Randeng left the sage's decree behind, took Guangchengzi with him, and transformed into a streak of light, leaving directly.

In the Demon Emperor's Palace, Chi Jin organized his thoughts, took out a communication jade talisman, and contacted Kunpeng.

At this time, Kunpeng was in seclusion. He had suffered a great loss in the last battle with the Xuan Turtle, and his injuries had not yet fully recovered.

After receiving the message from Chi Jin, Kunpeng instructed his benevolent corpse to deal with the situation first.

"Ancestor, Guangchengzi and Randeng from the Chan Sect just arrived. They said..." Chijin told Kunpeng what had just happened.

When Kunpeng learned that the Chan Sect was willing to give him the Primordial Purple Qi, he felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Have you examined the decrees of the Jade Purity Saint?"

"It's been checked, it's absolutely real."

“Sages always keep their word, let alone leave behind decrees. In other words, as long as I can help the Chan Sect achieve victory, I will have the opportunity to become a sage.”

Upon thinking of this, Kunpeng immediately said, "Agree to their request! It's time for our primordial demon race to return to the primordial world."

Soon, Guang Chengzi received Chi Jin's message. Upon learning that the prehistoric demon race was willing to come out of the mountains, Guang Chengzi was overjoyed and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He immediately informed Taiyi Zhenren about this matter. Taiyi Zhenren's eyes lit up. With the help of the prehistoric demon race and Kunpeng, how could they not break through Jiepai Pass?
Taiyi Zhenren immediately returned to Jiepai Pass and told his fellow disciples the good news.

Meanwhile, on the Shang Dynasty side, ever since the Ten Heavenly Kings set up the Ten Deadly Formations several months ago, and the benevolent corpses of Wuyun Xian and Jinling Shengmu displayed their divine power, defeating the people of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect, Jiepai Pass has been constantly on guard against a counterattack from the Chan Sect and the Western Sect.

Wu Yunxian knew that the Chan Sect and the Western Sect would not let this go easily. Since they had been silent for so long, they were most likely going to call for reinforcements.

Wu Yunxian had anticipated this, and he sent the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit back to Jin'ao Island to seek help.

We are all from the lineage of sages, and who doesn't have a few powerful backers?
As luck would have it, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had just returned to Jin'ao Island when she ran into Zhao Gongming, who was returning from suppressing the ferocious beast in the Great Shang Dynasty.

Bixiao was also with Zhao Gongming. As the Qinghua Emperor, Bixiao naturally received offerings from the people of the Shang Dynasty, so it was normal for her to go with him to suppress the ferocious beast. "Greetings, my two senior uncles." The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit bowed deeply to Zhao Gongming and Bixiao.

"Get up! Nephew, did you just come back from Jiepai Pass?" Zhao Gongming asked with a smile.

"Uncle Zhao, your nephew has returned to Jin'ao Island to ask for help."

"A request for help? Didn't Senior Sister Jinling's benevolent corpse go on a killing spree and intimidate the disciples of the Western Sect and the Chan Sect? Are they making another move?"

"Yes, they've gone to get reinforcements again. Who knows what powerful figure they'll bring this time! Uncle-Master Wuyun was worried that things might change, so he specifically ordered me to come back and ask for help."

"I see. I happen to have some free time, so I'll go with you!"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Fire's eyes lit up.

If Uncle Zhao is willing to go to Jiepai Pass with her, then unless a saint personally comes, it won't matter which disciple the Chan Sect or the Western Sect sends!
Despite Zhao Shishu's cultivation level being only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he actually cultivated the body-refining technique "Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique," which was personally created for him by the Sage Bai Jing. This technique allowed Zhao Shishu's foundation to gradually approach that of the Void Wind, one of the Four Calamities.

According to the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, Uncle Zhao's "Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique" has now been cultivated to the peak of the 8th revolution. His physical body is truly comparable to the peak of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal, and his foundation is not far from completely transforming into the Void Wind.

If the Investiture of the Gods hadn't happened to erupt at that time, Uncle Zhao would probably have already completely transformed his origins into the Void Wind.

At that time, Uncle Zhao will be able to take the opportunity of using the foundation of the Void Wind to advance further and cultivate the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique to the ninth revolution, achieving physical sainthood.

Although Uncle Zhao has not yet taken that final step, in terms of combat strength, he is definitely among the strongest below the Saint.

Even if the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect possessed the spiritual treasures of saints, they might not be a match for Uncle Zhao.

Bixiao, who was standing to the side, was also eager to try, but Bai Jing had given an order that if the quasi-saint disciples of the Chan Sect did not participate, the second-generation disciples of the Holy Lotus Sect would not be allowed to participate.

Just as Bixiao was struggling with her decision, Zhao Gongming's voice rang in her ears: "Third sister, if you also want to join in the fun, you might as well use the Falling Treasure Coin to deduce the effects of all things, enhance yourself with it, and then use the Transformation Technique to change your appearance."

As long as you don't reveal the spells and supernatural powers of the Holy Lotus Sect, no one should be able to detect your identity.

"Brother, this plan is brilliant!" With that, Bixiao flipped her right hand, and a copper coin with two wings appeared in her hand.

Then the copper coin flapped its wings and flew to Bixiao's waist, eventually transforming into a belt buckle.

Bixiao's aura underwent a dramatic transformation, and her image changed from a charming young girl to a dashing young master. Her emerald green gauze dress also transformed into a blue Taoist robe.

"Third Sister, don't forget that details determine success or failure!" Zhao Gongming said, pointing to the other spiritual treasures on Bixiao's body.

Bixiao suddenly realized what was going on. She put away all her commonly used magical treasures and took out a folding fan instead.

This folding fan is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure called the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Fan. It has thirty-two innate restrictions. The front can control gales, and the back can summon thunder. When wind and thunder are unleashed together, they can tear through the void, greatly increasing the cultivator's flight speed.

This folding fan was bestowed upon Bixiao by the Tongtian Sect Leader; few people know that it is Bixiao's spiritual treasure.

"That's right, Third Sister, now no one will recognize your identity."

"Elder brother, why are you still calling me Third Sister? Call me Wind and Thunder Taoist."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming laughed heartily, and then went down the mountain with the Holy Mother of Fire to Jiepai Pass.

As soon as the three left Jin'ao Island, Taiyi Zhenren returned to the Xiqi camp and told Jiang Ziya and the others that the prehistoric demon race was willing to help.

"May I ask, Senior Brother Taiyi, are there any powerful figures among the demon race in this primordial world?" Jiang Ziya asked tentatively.

"Of course there are. Among the prehistoric demon race, there is the demon master Kunpeng. He is a veteran quasi-saint and one of the strongest cultivators below the saint level."

There is also Chi Jin, who possesses part of the Golden Crow bloodline. His cultivation level is at the late Quasi-Saint stage. According to his senior brother, he has the strength to contend with a peak Quasi-Saint cultivator for a short period of time.

Besides this, the Primordial Demon Race also has one mid-stage Quasi-Saint and three early-stage Quasi-Saints. This time, the Primordial Demon Race will only leave one early-stage Quasi-Saint to guard the territory; the rest of the powerful beings will come to assist them.

Upon hearing that so many powerful demon cultivators were helping him, Jiang Ziya trembled with excitement. He was certain that he could take Jiepai Pass this time, and it was even possible that he could take Chaoge in one fell swoop!
"Men! Beat the drums and gather the generals! Follow me to attack the city!"

"Boom boom boom!" With Jiang Ziya's command, the continuous booming of war drums in the Xiqi camp resounded through the sky!

Soon, Jiang Ziya had mustered an army of 500,000, prepared siege ladders and battering rams, and launched another attack on Jiepai Pass.

This time, the army was personally led by Ji Shuang, who seemed determined to take Jiepai Pass.

Within the camp, disciples of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect marched with the army, except they were circling in the heavens.

As the Xiqi army continued to approach Jiepai Pass, the air in front of the pass was thick with the aura of impending doom, obscuring the sky and making it seem as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, foreshadowing an impending storm.

Jiepai Guanzhong was also well prepared. King Wucheng Huang Feihu was not afraid at all and personally led an army of 400,000 to meet the enemy outside the city.

At this moment, the calamity energy between heaven and earth had become extremely dense, and all the saints and golden immortals in the primordial world were shaken.

This included Bai Jing, who was currently tempering his physical body.

Bai Jing slowly opened his eyes. With a thought, he realized that he had spent 11 years in the time field.

After sensing the changes in himself, Bai Jing's eyes lit up: "This 'Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong' and 'Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong' are truly a perfect match. In just 11 years, my 'Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong,' which had not made any progress for several eons, has already made considerable progress. By all accounts, my physical body is now at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm."

In a maximum of another million years, I will be able to break through the Nine Revolutions of Profound Technique and reach the Heavenly Dao Realm of Physical Body.

Unfortunately, the calamity outside is surging, and the Great Tribulation of the Gods is about to reach its climax. One day outside is equivalent to a thousand years in the Time Field. Hopefully, Xiqi can hold out for three years!

Once Xiqi is defeated, Heaven will inevitably intervene, and then the real battle will begin.
