Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"Devour!"

Kunpeng suddenly spoke, his voice cold and sharp, "The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is the law of survival in the primordial world."

Kunpeng's eyes suddenly turned fierce: "What the demon race needs are demons to fight the witch race, not beings with only intelligence, who can devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, and even... the cultivation, flesh, and soul of living beings, to strengthen themselves by devouring all things! In this way, they can replenish themselves, quickly condense their demon cores, and become a part of our race!"

The hall fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, Di Jun suddenly spoke, golden flames dancing in his eyes: "Excellent! This method is wonderful. The Demon Core Technique will be revised... and the Path of Devouring will be added!"

Di Jun made the decision, and Taiyi, Fuxi, and the others had no objections!

This revision process only lasted a few years.

Finally, a cultivation method exclusive to the demon race, which added the path of devouring, was created.

"Demon Core Technique, complete!"

The Demon Emperor Fuxi stood up, his expression solemn. "The core of this method is that demons who cultivate this method can devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate step by step. They can also devour other living beings to quickly improve their cultivation."

"But if one chooses to achieve quick results, those with insufficient character are easily consumed by the desire to kill, their foundation is unstable, and they are burdened by karma... Let the demon race choose which method they wish to cultivate!" Fuxi clearly pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of this method.

"Immediately spread this method through the Heavenly Gate throughout the primordial world, bringing all sentient beings into our demon race and strengthening its destiny!"

As Emperor Jun issued his command, the three Heavenly Gates shone brightly. The general outline of the "Demon Core Technique" was imprinted on countless jade talismans and rained down on every corner of the primordial land.

But will things really go as Di Jun wishes?

In the eastern part of the primordial world, a giant serpent that had long since awakened its intelligence and possessed the cultivation of a true immortal gently touched a jade talisman that fell from the sky, and countless golden characters suddenly appeared in its mind.

Each of those characters seemed to contain immense power, but it didn't recognize or understand any of them. After looking at them for a while, it only felt dizzy and its internal magical energy was restless, yet it didn't know how to guide it.

It could only anxiously whip the ground with its snake tail to stop visualizing the words in its mind and get rid of their influence.

I stared blankly at the sky, wondering why this strange thing had fallen.

In the southern volcanic cluster, there is a brightly colored Firebird with a trace of phoenix bloodline, skilled in manipulating flames.

It considered itself intelligent and tried hard to read the text, attempting to understand it, but it only grasped the form, not the essence. Several mishaps nearly caused it to set itself on fire, which terrified it so much that it trembled and dared not try again.

Beside a huge lake in the north, a willow tree that had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, with its initial zero value and nascent divine consciousness, felt the attraction of the words, yet it was like looking at a book written in heaven. Its thousands of branches swayed weakly, conveying a sense of confusion.

Faced with the supreme Dao script, even some Golden Immortals who have reached the level of Celestial Immortal or even Immortal would find it difficult to understand its true meaning if they had never studied these Dao scripts, let alone these beings with newly born intelligence.

In less than half a day, those beings who had been comprehending the Daoist texts completely forgot about this cultivation method, as if it had never existed.

As for those jade talismans that have not yet been comprehended, they are integrated into the mountains and rivers and all things, waiting for destined beings to be born.

The Way should not be lightly transmitted!

In the Demon Emperor's Palace, Di Jun, having received the feedback, frowned deeply, his worry deepening. "The Great Dao is both simple and complex. For beings lacking sufficient cultivation, the Daoist texts are still too obscure, making it difficult to comprehend their true meaning. Is this method truly unworkable?"

Having no other option, the high-ranking members of the demon race had no choice but to return to their respective dojos in the Heavenly Realm and go into seclusion to ponder the matter.

Centuries, millennia, and thousands of years passed in this way, and ten thousand years had passed since the Lich War.

Inside the Kunpeng Palace, it was dark and cold, with only the golden light of the Great Dao characters floating in the center.

Kunpeng sat cross-legged in front, his body surging with Daoist energy like a tide. In his deep, dark eyes, it seemed that countless primordial things were born and died within them, with Daoist energy flowing around him.

He contemplated the myriad things of the primordial world: the rising and setting of the sun and moon, the movement of stars, the contours of mountains and rivers, the rushing of rivers, the soaring of birds, the running of beasts, the withering and flourishing of plants, the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning... He matched and etched the patterns of the Great Dao with these specific "images" one by one.

Before Kunpeng, countless symbols, similar to Daoist script but much simplified, were born, combined, and disintegrated; born, combined, and disintegrated again...!

Sometimes it takes the shape of a flying bird, sometimes it condenses into the form of a running beast, sometimes it transforms into a surging river, and sometimes it ignites a raging flame.

After countless failures, the symbols collapsed and reformed. Kunpeng's face gradually paled, but his eyes shone ever brighter, as if he had seen the origin of the Great Dao, completely mesmerized!

On this day, in the Kunpeng Palace, the Daoist aura surrounding Kunpeng suddenly subsided.

Before him, three thousand all-encompassing, wondrous symbols, shimmering with the light of wisdom, finally coalesced into a form!

They are no longer the direct manifestation of the Great Dao, but rather "words" summarized by Kunpeng from observing the operation of all things in the primordial world. They are a simplification of Daoist texts, no longer containing the complete true meaning of the Great Dao, nor are they obscure and difficult to understand!

The moment the three thousand demonic runes took shape!

The entire primordial world trembled slightly! An indescribable, grand will was alarmed and turned its gaze toward where Kunpeng was.

"Buzz—"

Above the celestial realm, a vast expanse of auspicious, dark yellow clouds appeared out of nowhere! These were the golden clouds of merit! Their vastness and the depth of their merit were not far off from those of the Styx when it established its religion!

The golden clouds churned and instantly transformed into an enormous, dazzling pillar of merit light, which crashed down and completely engulfed the Kunpeng!

"boom!"

The Kunpeng's aura surged wildly at this moment! The cultivation bottleneck that had been stuck at the early stage of Quasi-Saint shattered instantly, and the Dao Fruit frantically condensed, becoming incredibly solid and heavy!

"cut"

With a soft shout, Kunpeng unleashed a three-corpse body, his cultivation level instantly reaching the peak of the mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm, even approaching the late stage! A vast and powerful aura spread out, shocking all the demons of the Heavenly Realm!

Just then, several figures appeared beside Kunpeng. Looking at the three thousand 'demon scripts' floating in the air, they instantly understood their true meaning.

When Di Jun saw the three thousand characters, he suddenly sensed the change in the fortune of the demon race. The golden crow of fortune, which had originally only been maintaining its stability, began to grow stronger and more solid. He then realized that these three thousand characters were the key to the prosperity of the demon race.

He turned to look at the Kunpeng, whose cultivation had suddenly increased, and waited silently without saying a word...!

The Kunpeng, slowly concealing its aura, looked at Di Jun and spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, the Great Dao script is the manifestation of the laws, and it is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary beings. I observe that all things have form, meaning, and image. If we can simplify the Dao script, create a set of symbols based on the forms of all things, condense the true meaning of all things within them, simplify the ultimate truth of the Great Dao, and use this to replace the Dao script, we can solve the predicament of the demon race."

As Kunpeng waved his hand, the "demon script" floating in the air dispersed and then gathered together, forming a "True Explanation of Demon Cores" written in demon script!

"With this text, the Demon Core Technique will be spread throughout the primordial world, so that all sentient beings may comprehend it."

Looking at the new script forming the Demon Core Technique before him, Di Jun suddenly burst into laughter, "Ha! Ha! Ha! Good, good, good! My demon race shall rise again!"

Di Jun, holding Kunpeng's hand, returned to the Demon Emperor's Palace and loudly proclaimed to the demons of the Heavenly Realm: "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, you created the Demon Script, dispelled the confusion of all spirits, enlightened the demon race, and educated the demons! You should be the teacher of all demons!"
