Heavenly Court Emerges

Just as Qing Xuan was wondering how to borrow someone else's spiritual treasure, Zhao Gongming and the San Xiao walked into the great hall.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Rise. Bi Xiao, are you happy to see me?" Qing Xuan looked at the four of them and teased the youngest of the San Xiao, Bi Xiao.

Qing Xuan was very satisfied with their cultivation progress. In a hundred years, Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao had already entered the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were a bit behind, but they were also close to breaking through.

Hearing this, Bi Xiao replied playfully.

"Master~ Your seclusion ending must mean your cultivation has advanced further. Of course I'm happy!"

"Hmph, slick-tongued!" Qing Xuan was pleased inside, but his words were a reprimand.

"Master's lesson is well taken." Bi Xiao quickly admitted fault. Seeing Qing Xuan like this, she knew she wouldn't be punished, so she took the opportunity to back down.

The other three all smiled as they watched Bi Xiao admit her mistake. They had no way to handle this mischievous little sister either.

"Alright. I see that the two of you will break through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal soon. Since I'm about to go out, I'll give you your spiritual treasures in advance." Qing Xuan decided to head to the Blood Sea first and see if he could exchange treasures with Minghe.

Then Qing Xuan took out two spiritual treasures.

"This is a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the 'Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.' Its power is boundless. I bestow it upon you, Qiong Xiao. I hope you cultivate well!"

Seeing this, Qiong Xiao said respectfully.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure. Your disciple will surely cultivate diligently and not disgrace the name of the Three Immortal Islands!"

"This is a High-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the 'Primordial Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.' It was refined by your master from the Primordial Yin-Yang Flood Dragon that once pursued you. This treasure kills without incurring karma and is full of Sha Qi. I bestow it upon you!"

Qing Xuan originally didn't want to give Bi Xiao the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, as it was too fierce and baleful. But unexpectedly, during the refining process, he added Chaos Qi, giving the treasure the property of killing without incurring karma. Thus, he no longer feared it would harm Zhao Gongming, so he still bestowed it upon Bi Xiao.

Seeing this, Bi Xiao was overjoyed. This was refined from the remains of their enemy, so it would surely be exceptionally satisfying to use. She quickly stepped forward to receive the treasure.

"Thank you, Master! Your disciple will surely use this treasure well!"

Qing Xuan watched the four of them happily chatting below. Their spiritual treasures had now been greatly upgraded. Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls had become thirty-six. This increase in combat power was no small matter. If he could snatch the Heaven Measuring Ruler from Ran Deng, it could transform into the Thirty-Six Heavens, and his future achievements would be unimaginable.

The San Xiao sisters' treasures had also been enhanced. Yun Xiao's Primordial Golden Dou remained unchanged. Qing Xuan saw that inside the Dou was carved the grand array "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation." Paired with the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and the Primordial Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, anyone who entered this formation would surely die.

[If they were to participate in the Deification War here, that would be fun.] Just thinking about that scene amused Qing Xuan, and he decided he would definitely take part in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

"Alright, Gongming. After I leave, you will supervise everyone's cultivation. Especially someone—don't let her indulge in play and neglect her training, understand?" Qing Xuan snapped back to reality and instructed Zhao Gongming.

"Yes, Master. I will not let little sister slack in her cultivation." Zhao Gongming replied with a smile. And thus, a scenario where only Bi Xiao was hurt was born.

Then Qing Xuan dismissed the four. After thinking it over, he filled a bottle with Three Lights Divine Water and left the Three Immortal Islands, heading toward the Blood Sea.

Meanwhile, at the Demon Race Headquarters, a discussion about the future of the Demon Race was underway.

"Your Majesty, our Demon Race now has trillions of clansmen. The Northern Continent can no longer accommodate us," said Ji Meng. Around him were the Ten Great Demon Marshals, as well as the newly joined Nuwa and Fu Xi.

Di Jun frowned upon hearing this. The Wu Clan, centered around Pangu Hall, was gradually expanding outward and had already occupied the Eastern Primordial Continent. The Western Continent's spirit veins were depleted, the land barren and unsuitable for habitation. The Southern Continent was mostly volcanic terrain, uninhabitable except for some flying demon beasts.

Now all the Demon Race were living on the Northern Continent, but the land was no longer sufficient. If this problem wasn't solved, internal chaos would erupt among the Demon Race.

Just as everyone was discussing, a celestial phenomenon occurred between heaven and earth. A grand heavenly path appeared, and immortal energy drifted everywhere. Di Jun and the others at the Demon Race Headquarters immediately sensed it.

Such a commotion was naturally sensed by other great powers in the Primordial World, but after calculating that it had nothing to do with them, they paid it no further attention.

Qing Xuan looked at the phenomenon and thought to himself.

[It seems the Heavenly Court is about to emerge!]

The Demon Race's opportunity had arrived. Qing Xuan couldn't stop it, nor did he intend to. After all, Da Bai and Bai Ze, leading the spiritual beasts of the Three Immortal Islands, were also part of the Demon Race. This opportunity included them as well.

Di Jun and Tai Yi led the demons to the sky. The first thing they saw was a massive gate tower. The plaque on the tower bore three large characters: 'South Heaven Gate.'

Passing through the South Heaven Gate, the scene inside was even more astonishing. Immortal energy swirled, jade towers and pavilions stood, ten thousand golden lights flashed, auspicious purple mist permeated, stars shone brightly, and everything was resplendent.

Di Jun and the others walked along, smiles never leaving their faces.

They continued until they reached the Thirty-Three Heavens. Before them stood the Lingxiao Palace.

The Lingxiao Palace had soaring eaves and interlocking brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, golden tiles gleaming, auspicious light swirling. Its gates were tall and magnificent, a striking vermilion red, adorned with nine dragon reliefs so lifelike they seemed real. Inside, jade pillars stood like a forest, supporting its majestic aura. Auspicious clouds surrounded it, exuding solemnity and sanctity.

"Hahaha! Heaven truly favors our Demon Race! The spiritual energy here is dense—an excellent place for our cultivation. It seems fate has decreed that the Demon Race shall become the rulers of heaven and earth!" Di Jun laughed heartily, his domineering voice echoing throughout the Heavenly Court.

Even the Ten Great Demon Marshals began to believe that Di Jun was a man of Heaven's Mandate. After all, they had just been troubled by where the Demon Race would live, and now a Heavenly Court had appeared.

Da Bai and Bai Ze exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. It wasn't the appearance of the Heavenly Court that shocked them, but the fact that Qing Xuan had predicted all of this in advance.

[Boss is truly amazing! I need to cultivate even harder!] Da Bai felt very proud inside. After all, if Qing Xuan was powerful, rounding up, that meant he was powerful too.

[I didn't expect Daojun to have predicted everything. Terrifying!] Bai Ze was not only deeply shocked but also felt a sense of fear and urgency.

He grew even more awed by Qing Xuan's methods and cultivation, resolving in his heart to complete the tasks Qing Xuan had assigned, so he could cling tightly to this powerful patron.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Unifying the Primordial World is within reach!" All the demons cheered for Di Jun. This event was also a significant opportunity for them.

"All Demon Marshals, hear my command! Return to the tribe immediately and relocate our people to the Heavenly Court. From now on, this will be our Demon Race's headquarters!"

"As you command!"
