Chapter 43 Demon Clan Heavenly Court

"Your Majesty!" Demon Saint Ji Meng hesitated, then said, "This Buzhou Mountain seems to be the sacred site of the Three Pure Ones. If we occupy the Heavenly Court, the Three Pure Ones will likely not agree!"

Mount Buzhou is not only the sacred site of the Three Pure Ones, but also the place where they manifested in human form.

Now that the demon race has occupied part of the Heavenly Court, how could the Three Pure Ones possibly agree to it?

"Our demon race's occupation of the Heavenly Court is the will of Heaven; what does it have to do with the Three Pure Ones?" Taiyi snorted coldly, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Does it mean that our demon race needs the Three Pure Ones' approval to act?"

"Brother, this is not a good idea. Our demon race has just occupied a part of the Heavenly Court, and we cannot make too many enemies." Di Jun fell into deep thought after hearing Ji Meng and Tai Yi's words.

"Your Majesty, why not follow the example of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans of the past, first offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth to gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao, and then widely distributing invitations to invite all the great supernatural beings of the primordial world to witness and thus establish our legitimacy?" The Demon Saint Bai Ze said meaningfully, "At that time, the trend will be irresistible, and even if the Three Pure Ones are dissatisfied, they will be powerless to stop it."

"In that case, let us follow the words of the Demon Saint Bai Ze. We will first offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, and a hundred years later, we will invite a host of great beings from the primordial world to witness this." Di Jun's eyes lit up. Bai Ze's words were exactly what he wanted to hear.

This move not only demonstrates the power of the demon race and legitimizes the Heavenly Court, but also leaves the Three Pure Ones helpless.

In just a few days.

Inside the Heavenly Court, a series of tables and offerings were prepared. Di Jun and Tai Yi led a group of demon saints in performing the three kowtows and nine prostrations, burning incense to inform the Heavenly Court, and reciting the sacrificial text.

"By the Heavenly Dao above, today, Emperor Jun and Taiyi, leading all the Demon Saints, have established the Demon Race's Heavenly Court, based on the Heavenly Court and using the Eastern Emperor Bell and the Hetu Luoshu to suppress destiny. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a thunderbolt suddenly resounded in the heavens, followed by a dazzling display of light, celestial music, and countless heavenly flowers. Countless streams of merit and primordial energy were generated from the void.

About 70% of the Xuanhuang Qi of Virtue fell into the primordial spirits of Di Jun and Taiyi, while the remaining 30% fell into the bodies of the demon saints, transforming into various colors of divine light.

This is a sign from Heaven, as the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was established in response to the need to complete the Heavenly Way. Therefore, Heaven has bestowed down the power of merit and virtue as a reward.

Di Jun and Tai Yi received the Xuanhuang Qi of merit, and their cultivation and supernatural powers improved significantly, saving them tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun hadn't yet passed down the method of severing the three corpses and the quasi-saint path, Dijun and Taiyi would probably have already severed one of the three corpses of their primordial spirit.

Even so, Di Jun and Tai Yi still gained a great deal.

Meanwhile, the demon saints, having obtained the Xuanhuang Qi of merit, began to continuously increase their cultivation and supernatural powers. In particular, the ten demon saints, including Ji Meng and Bai Ze, experienced a surge in their cultivation and supernatural powers, and all of them stepped into the realm of Daluo Jinxian.

For a moment, countless powerful beings from the primordial era gazed in the direction of Mount Buzhou, all of them showing expressions of horror.

The fact that the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race could gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao is tantamount to saying that the rise of the Demon Race is the will of Heaven!

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi frowned, gazing towards Buzhou Mountain, "The Heavenly Court of the Demon Race!"

However, before Zhen Yuanzi could think further, a familiar voice rang in his ears again.

[Throughout the primordial era, Di Jun and Tai Yi established the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, causing endless battles across the primordial land, resulting in the deaths and dissipation of countless beings. You successfully escaped this calamity and have received the reward: Innate Jade Spirit Bamboo.]

The next moment, countless spiritual lights suddenly surged from one side of the Chaos Spiritual Spring, faintly giving rise to the aura of innate laws. They gathered the chaotic energy in the air and countless innate spiritual energies, gradually transforming into a ball of emerald green light.

In an instant, a strange change occurred within the emerald green light, and a creature emerged, about four feet tall and two inches thick, its entire body emerald green and emitting a faint green glow.

As the light faded, it revealed a verdant bamboo.

"Innate Jade Spirit Bamboo!" Looking at the Innate Jade Spirit Bamboo in front of him, Zhen Yuanzi did not know what its mystery was, but since it had the word "Innate" in its name, it must be an Innate Spirit Bamboo.

Zhen Yuanzi stepped up to the Innate Jade Spirit Bamboo, flicked the bamboo with his finger, and a soft ringing sound rang out, sounding like metal or jade.

"It's as hard as iron!" This surprised Zhen Yuanzi.

This innate jade bamboo is not only as hard as iron and as resilient as wood, but it also contains a trace of innate Dao laws, making it a very rare spiritual material.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly thought of Shangqing Daoist's Qingping Sword, and his heart stirred.

When Zhen Yuanzi was discussing the Dao with Dong Wanggong and Shangqing Daoren, he not only witnessed Dong Wanggong's innate pure Yang swordsmanship, but also Shangqing Daoren's understanding of the swordsmanship. This spirit bamboo could be refined into a sword.

Drawing inspiration from the swordsmanship of Dongwanggong and Shangqing Daoren, Zhen Yuanzi, combining his own understanding of swordsmanship, began to devise a method for refining it.

"Although this innate jade bamboo is an innate spiritual bamboo, if you want to refine it into a sword, it would be best to find another innate spiritual material as an auxiliary material." Zhen Yuanzi thought of something, that ball of light containing a trace of the innate five elements' laws.

"In this way, this sword cannot be considered a primordial treasure, but can only be regarded as an acquired spiritual treasure, and cannot be used as a vessel for the three corpses of the primordial spirit."

Fortunately, Zhen Yuanzi had no shortage of innate spiritual treasures to entrust his primordial spirit to his three corpses, but he lacked a protective sword.

Within Zhen Yuanzi's primordial spirit, the shape of a sword gradually emerged. The sword was three feet and three inches long and two fingers wide. The blade was made entirely of innate spiritual bamboo, allowing no foreign objects to be present. The sword's edge was like a bamboo leaf, radiating sharpness.

A faint five-colored radiance flashed within it, like the five elements and five colors of divine light. The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth generated each other, and at other times they countered each other, truly displaying extraordinary divine power.

"It contains the innate Five Elements Great Dao Laws; it is truly wondrous!" Zhen Yuanzi laughed loudly, revealing his three primordial spirit flowers. Above a half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, a black and white flame flew out—the innate Yin-Yang True Fire that Zhen Yuanzi had painstakingly refined over the years.

"Refined with the innate Yin-Yang True Fire and supplemented with the innate Five Elements Great Dao Laws and spiritual objects, once this sword is completed, it will surely be extraordinary."

The next moment, Zhen Yuanzi threw the Innate Jade Spirit Bamboo and the ball of light into the air, and tempered them with the Innate Yin-Yang True Fire.

At the same time, Zhen Yuanzi formed Dao seals with both hands, releasing innate talismans that merged into the bamboo body, making it unite with the innate Five Elements Dao Laws.

Only when he saw the bamboo body gradually change did Zhen Yuanzi release another stream of chaotic energy essence, merging it into the bamboo body. Then he drew down the essence of the Taiyin star to nourish the bamboo body.

Above Longevity Mountain, the innate Yin-Yang True Fire spread, and the essence of the Taiyin Star fell. The two, one civil and one martial, one internal and one external, represent Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin, complementing each other, embracing Yang while carrying Yin, and Yin and Yang can give rise to the Five Elements.

More than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. The bamboo body and the light cluster of the innate jade spirit bamboo gradually disappeared. In its place was a three-foot-long sword with a bright green light. One side of the sword was engraved with the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and the other side was engraved with an innate spirit bamboo.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly pointed at the emerald green sword in the air, causing it to fall into the Chaos Spirit Spring, where it was tempered by the spring water.

After eighty-one days, a sword appeared above the Chaos Spirit Spring. The hilt was inscribed with the words "Jade" in innate divine script. The sword body became as clear as jade, and a faint five-colored light flashed on the blade, exuding wisps of sword energy, making it appear extraordinary.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi's divine light subsided, and he summoned it into his hand, saying, "Although it is not at the Innate level, it can still be considered a killing weapon."

This jade sword is extremely mysterious, containing the innate laws of the Five Elements. Through mutual generation and restraint, it can manifest supreme divine power.
