Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Lin Zhao's gaze darkened slightly; he had witnessed the terrifying power of Xuan Ke's demonic energy.

A dynasty, in which 60 million mortals perished, gave birth to a monster comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, and that place remains a forbidden zone to this day.

Bai Jing didn't notice the change in Lin Zhao's expression and continued counting on her fingers: "The eighth type, the Decaying Demonic Qi, is all about decay. As the name suggests, everything can decay."

The ninth type is the Primordial Demonic Qi Fusion, which can combine demonic energies of different attributes to exert incredible effects.

Bai Jing counted on her tenth finger: "Primordial demonic energy, the foremost of the ten great demonic energies, governs the beginning and end of all things."

Legend has it that it is the fusion of the remaining demonic energy with the primordial demonic energy. The fusion of these nine types of demonic energy can ultimately sublimate into primordial demonic energy, which is said to contain the fundamental secrets of the birth of the demonic path.

Lin Zhao listened very attentively.

This is not just casual conversation; it's a display of the Nine Nether Demon Sect's true strength.

Ten types of demonic energy, each with its own characteristics:

White Bone Demonic Qi, primarily shaping. Heavenly Nether Demonic Qi, primarily space. Destruction Demonic Qi, primarily destruction. Blood Demonic Qi, primarily devouring.

The Heavenly Demon Qi governs the mind. The Jade Yang Demon Qi governs simulation. The Mysterious Ke Demon Qi governs demonic corruption. The Decaying Demon Qi governs decay.

Primordial demonic energy, primarily focused on fusion.

Primordial demonic energy, the origin of all things.

Bai Jing slammed his hands on the table and concluded, "These ten types of demonic energy are essentially the power born from the demonic path to destroy and devour the world. Each one is extremely terrifying, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot control them."

She turned her gaze to Lin Zhao and Tian Hao, grinned, revealing her small, pointed teeth, and smiled exceptionally brightly:

"Today I have told you all my abilities, so if you want to kill me, you will have to devise a method based on my abilities."

She paused, then her smile widened, the crimson in her eyes seeming to ignite, her gaze reaching a fever pitch of madness: "Come on! Find a way to kill me! I'll be very happy!"

Tianhao couldn't help but rub his forehead.

That's how the demonic path works—they love fighting and occasionally go berserk.

The three-person battle lineup was thus decided.

Bai Jing defended head-on, Tian Hao held the line in the middle, and Lin Zhao launched the main attack.

The next step is to search for traces of the Mitian Alliance and the Hou.

With a thought, Lin Zhao began to recount his past experiences—the remnants of the Heavenly Wrath, and the gray-robed Nascent Soul Dharma Body.

He only mentioned the ruins and the characteristics of the Nascent Soul Dharma Body, omitting the details of his own pursuit and his hasty escape.

Tianhao could obviously tell that Lin Zhao was smuggling in some personal business, wanting to take the opportunity to get revenge, but as long as the clues were useful, he didn't mind.

Bai Jing gave a thumbs up: "Little Lin, not bad. This vengeful nature makes you good material for the demonic path. Why don't you consider switching to it? The gates of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect are always open for you."

Lin Zhao's face darkened.

What the hell is "Xiao Linzi"?

He couldn't be bothered with Bai Jing; the more he paid attention to her, the more excited she became.

At this moment, Tianhao was already sitting cross-legged in the center of the palace, his hands forming a mudra.

His spiritual energy circulated in an extremely complex pattern, and white spiritual light flowed from his hands, weaving into a flowing light curtain in the air.

The images on the light screen were chaotic, like countless broken mirrors, reflecting different scenes at the same time, all of which were things that had happened in the past.

Heavenly Laws and Decrees.

Lin Zhao roused himself and diverted a portion of his mind to draw the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel from his main body's sea of ​​consciousness through the invisible soul connection between his main body and his clone.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel, his perception was pushed to its limit, and he began to carefully observe every detail of Tianhao's spell.

Bai Jing stared at the light screen for a long time, but eventually gave up.

The demonic path is the complete opposite of this—it is born from the devouring of heaven and earth, plundering all power for its own use.

The Heavenly Laws and Decrees, however, borrow the power of heaven and earth and coexist with them; these two power systems are diametrically opposed.

Bored, she withdrew her gaze, which swept around the palace before finally settling on Lin Zhao, noticing that his demeanor was noticeably different from before.

His face remained unchanged, but the aura emanating from him underwent a subtle shift—becoming deeper, more expansive, and more indifferent, completely different from the person he had been moments before.

Bai Jing stared at him for a long time, then suddenly felt a chill.

She looked away and muttered to herself, "Strange."

Then she took out the gourd and started drinking.

Lin Zhao ignored her.

Although he devoted most of his energy to observing the Heavenly Laws and Decrees, he did not completely let down his guard against Bai Jing.

He observed carefully for a long time using the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel and roughly understood what Tianhao was doing.

Simply put, the Heavenly Laws and Decrees are a means of communicating with Heaven and Earth and bringing back the scenes that have occurred in the past.

It's not deduction, it's retrieval—the universe itself records everything, and the laws and decrees of heaven can bring these back for examination.

All seven overlords possess similar methods, but these methods are usually only usable by Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords who can utilize the resources of their sects.

The Heavenly Law Divine Sect has clearly taken a step further, allowing a holy son like him to use some of its abilities.

Lin Zhao withdrew his gaze, secretly expressing his admiration.

With this Heavenly Law Decree in hand, apart from members of the dominant forces, virtually no cultivator in the Cangyuan cultivation world can escape the pursuit of the Heavenly Law Divine Sect.

Tianhao exhaled, stopped the hand seal, and the light screen dissipated. His face was somewhat pale, clearly indicating that he had expended a lot of energy.

"We have the results."

"The gray-robed Nascent Soul Dharma Body that Brother Lin encountered back then was indeed from the Misty Heaven Alliance and had a deep connection with Hou."

I also found out something else—that gray-robed Nascent Soul cultivator was from the Azure Feather Clan, and was a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Azure Feather Clan, known as True Lord Wind Owl.

In other words, the Hou is very likely hiding among the Qingyu tribe.

Bai Jing's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for! If we wipe out the Qingyu Clan, the Hou will naturally emerge."

Lin Zhao frowned.

The Azure Feather Clan is not easy to deal with. They are a powerful clan with several Nascent Soul True Monarchs guarding the Endless Demon Sea. Their activities cover a large area of ​​the sea, and they are natural merchants and plunderers.

Going there directly is no different from suicide.

Tianhao nodded and gestured for Bai Jing to sit down: "Don't rush. We need time—we need to contact the Nascent Soul elders behind us and have them restrain the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Qingyu Clan before we can make our move."

Otherwise, the Nascent Soul cultivators would have attacked us before the three of us even got close to the Qingyu Clan's territory.

Bai Jing sat down reluctantly: "How long will we have to wait?"

"It won't be long," Tianhao said. "The Nascent Souls behind us are already in the Endless Demon Sea, so mobilizing them won't take too long."

Each of them contacted the higher-ups behind them: Bai Jing contacted the Night Demon Lord, and Tian Hao contacted the Nascent Soul cultivators of Dragon Abyss Immortal City.

Lin Zhao felt a little uneasy.

The Cloud Sea Cangming Sect has no Nascent Soul elders in the Endless Demon Sea—at least, he doesn't know of any.

As for the main body, there has been no response since the information was passed on to True Monarch Qingyuan last time. It is unknown what the higher-ups of the sect are thinking.
