A moment later, everyone finished refining.
Jiang Yun Dao of Humanity, including Qingsong:
Now that you have joined the faith, come with me to Spirit Bamboo Mountain.
Pengxuan Grotto-Heaven will later be incorporated into the Spirit Bamboo Mountain Earthly Realm, serving as a subordinate Spirit Land of the Western Teachings Northern Region.
Qingsong and the others naturally had no objections.
Within the Spirit Bamboo Valley, Qingfeng blows and Spirit Mist swirls.
Jiang Yun led the Three Xiao on a stroll through the valley. Bixiao held the round Panda Huang Bao in her arms, gently rubbing its furry ears with her fingers. Huang Bao squinted its eyes in comfort, occasionally letting out soft "ooh" sounds, which made Bixiao giggle.
"Senior Brother, your Spirit Bamboo Valley is truly a wonderful place!" Bixiao teased Huang Bao while looking around, her eyes full of admiration.
The valley is filled with Spirit Bamboo forests, their verdant green like jade. Occasionally, birds flit among the bamboo leaves, emitting clear, melodious calls.
In the distance, a mountain stream murmurs, Spirit Spring gathers into a pool. The water is crystal clear, and several Spirit Fish swim leisurely, their scales shimmering with a faint Golden Light in the sunlight.
Qiongxiao nodded in agreement. "This Earth Spirit and protected by natural Formations, no wonder it has developed so prosperously."
Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "This place was originally just a desolate Mountain Valley. Later, I used Formations to regulate the Earth Veins and nourished it with Starlight Spiritual Energy, which slowly nurtured Spirit Vein at the bottom of the valley. As the Spirit Vein grew stronger, it gradually raised the original valley floor, causing the terrain to rise and eventually form its current scale."
As they were talking, Yunxiao suddenly looked up at the sky, his brows furrowing slightly. "Senior Brother, look—"
Following her gaze, everyone saw that the once clear Firmament suddenly rippled with starlight. Then, Circulating Stars shone brightly, especially the Sun Star and the Moon Star, which simultaneously radiated brilliant light, as if drawn by some force.
"This is... Di Jun mobilizing the power of the Stars?" Jiang Yun's gaze sharpened, a vague guess forming in his mind.
The next moment, starlight rained down like a storm, interspersed with wisps of golden and silver liquid, like Heavenly River pouring down, covering the Primordial Desolation Earth. The moment the liquid touched the plants, it caused Spirit Plants wildly; when it dripped onto wild beasts, they instantly gained sentience and transformed into Demon Beast; and when it fell on creatures that had already gained sentience, it strengthened their essence and subtly increased their cultivation.
"I am the Demon Emperor Di Jun! All beings of the Primordial World, heed my words!"
A majestic and powerful voice echoed from the Firmament; it was none other than Di Jun!
"I am the ruler of the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens, in charge of the pivot of the Stars, observing the changes of Yin-Yang. I felt the Primordial World the Beginning of Chaos primordial era, and saw that all living beings were ignorant and their Spirit Root were obscured. So I gathered the essence of the Star River, melted and refined the Qi of the Sun Star and Moon Star, forged its form through Ninefold True Fire, and stabilized its spirit through Eighty-Four Thousand Heavenly Cycles, finally creating the 'Imperial Flowing Sap' to benefit all living beings."
This liquid is neither gold nor jade, but the very essence of creation.
For beastmen, it can cleanse their bones and marrow, open their seven orifices to clarity, break through Chaos and ignorance, and enable plants and beasts to have the opportunity to attain enlightenment.
For the spirit race, it can make up for Xiantian, strengthen the three souls and seven spirits, build the Primordial Foundation, and enable the spirits of mountains and rivers to also possess the ability to Tongtian.
Now, using the Heavenly Cycle Stars as a cup, I draw the Heavenly River upside down, spreading sweet rain throughout the Eight Desolations and Six Directions:
At midnight, when the Moonlight Essence is at its brightest and starlight condenses into dew, that is when the Imperial Flowing Sap appears in the world.
Those who are destined to drink it will have the opportunity to inquire about longevity; those who are virtuous will receive it and should use it to Primordial World with compassion.
However, the Heavenly Dao values balance, and all things have order.
Those who have received this fortune must abide by the Law and Order my Demon Court:
Do not bully the weak, do not disrupt the balance of Yin-Yang, and do not violate the natural order of life.
Those who are greedy and cruel to living beings will be punished by divine lightning in an instant!
May this Primordial World be free from ignorance, and may all beings find their own path.
I and Taiyi, together witness the heavens.
--Emperor Di Jun made a proclamation at the Lingxiao Tongming Hall
(The sun and moon shine together, and Purple Qi clouds travel 30,000 miles eastward)
The sound was as loud as thunder, echoing throughout every corner of the primordial Primordial World.
Bixiao's eyes widened as she caught a drop of the Imperial Flowing Sap that was falling. The essence rolled in her palm, radiating a rich power of Stellar Creation. She exclaimed, "This Demon Emperor is truly generous! He can actually use the power of the Stars to enlighten all living beings!"
Jiang Yun's gaze was deep as he slowly said, "
The Demon Emperor's move was intended to strengthen the Demon Clan Foundation.
The Witch Clan reproduces through Bloodline, while the Demon Clan can continuously nurture new Demon Clan with the Imperial Flowing Sap. Over time, the power of the Demon Clan will surely surge.
However, Di Jun truly deserves to be called a top demon god in the Primordial World. A person's magnanimity and breadth of mind often determine their height. He was truly a born emperor!
As they were talking, the spirit beasts and Spirit Plants in the Spirit Bamboo Valley began to stir. Many of the unawakened spirit beasts tilted their heads back and swallowed the Imperial Flowing Sap. In the blink of an eye, they gained intelligence and were surrounded by pure energy. The Spirit Bamboo grew wildly, and spirit patterns faintly appeared between the bamboo joints, indicating that it had developed a weak sense of spirituality.
Many Primordial World Living Beings who received the Imperial Flowing Sap either gained sentience or experienced a significant boost in their spiritual foundations. They all bowed and thanked the heavens, saying, "Thank you for your blessing, Demon Emperor! Your Emperor Lord is merciful!"
Yunxiao's expression was solemn. "In this way, the power of the Demon Clan race will inevitably expand rapidly, and the Witch-Demon War will likely become even more intense."
Jiang Yun nodded, then a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes:
The Demon Clan race will expand, but the Imperial Flowing Sap is probably not so easy to refine, and their expansion speed may not be as rapid as imagined.
However, this is also an opportunity for us.
"Oh?" The Three Xiao all looked at him.
Jiang Yun smiled slightly, waved his sleeve, and a beam of starlight rose from his palm, transforming into the outline of a phantom portal—the prototype of the Star Gate Formation!
"The Imperial Flowing Sap contains the power of Stellar Creation, and the Star Gate Formation also relies on Star Spiritual Energy to operate." He lightly tapped his fingertip, and the illusory portal gradually solidified. "If we can analyze the Star Power Circulation Principles within the Imperial Flowing Sap, perhaps we can further improve the Star Gate, giving it the ability to Jieyin the Imperial Flowing Sap! Even..."
Bixiao's eyes lit up. "Senior Brother means we can also use the Imperial Flowing Sap?"
Jiang Yun smiled without saying a word, but simply looked up at the Firmament, his gaze seemingly piercing through the endless Starry Sky and reaching the Sun Star Palace.
"Di Jun used the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation to refine the Imperial Flowing Sap, and my Western Teachings... also has the Star Academy, which might contain the Eight Treasures Star Water!"
When the powerful beings in the Primordial World saw Di Jun's display of Imperial Flowing Sap, they were not only amazed by his grand gesture, but also couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. A true man should be like this!
Regardless of whether they are rivals or not, everyone admires Di Jun's magnanimity, composure, and strategic acumen.
After that, among the many creatures at the bottom of the Primordial World, who wouldn't remember Di Jun's kindness? Could this be the Primordial World version of the countryside surrounding the cities, taking root among the working masses at the bottom?
Above the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens, Di Jun and Taiyi were presiding over a grand ceremony in the Tongming Hall.
Many influential people sent their congratulatory gifts but did not attend the ceremony. They did not want to get involved in the incident, nor would they want to easily offend others.
As a partner, Zhunti truly stood out among the many attendees.
Di Jun's Demon Court Ceremony started by using the Imperial Flowing Sap momentum, instantly winning the hearts of many lower-level beings in the Primordial World, making the subsequent sacrificial prayers to heaven a natural outcome.
