Myriad Saints Mountain of the Devil Race.
Demon Emperor Ami Hao and Prophet Demon Master Ba Yan, master of the Demon God Palace, stood quietly atop the mountain, gazing anxiously at a cloud platform not far above the summit.
Great Prophet Jiu Xi sat cross-legged at the center of the cloud platform.
The drifting, ever-shifting Spiritual Light spreading from the cloud platform prevented Demon Emperor Ami Hao and Prophet Demon Master Ba Yan from seeing Great Prophet Jiu Xi clearly.
However, a crystalline white bone shard, lustrous as jade, floated above Great Prophet Jiu Xi's head. Countless faint, barely visible threads streamed from it, as though connecting to the boundless void.
Those indistinct threads quivered gently like pulses. Great Prophet Jiu Xi was like a physician feeling a pulse, quietly sensing everything transmitted from the void in all directions.
Demon Emperor Ami Hao wore an expectant expression. This was a Devil Race tradition: whenever heaven and earth underwent great changes, major upheavals occurred, or critical decisions had to be made, the current Great Prophet would be asked to predict the heavenly secrets, point out the way forward, or avert fortune and calamity.
Prophet Demon Master Ba Yan, meanwhile, was filled with urgency and concern.
The last time, Great Prophet Jiu Xi had already used the Heavenly Secrets Altar and suffered a slight backlash.
This time, Great Prophet Jiu Xi had not only used the Heavenly Secrets Altar, but also the Xiantian Spiritual Treasure passed down through the Devil Race's prophet lineage—the Heavenly Meridian Jade Bone.
It could be said that Great Prophet Jiu Xi was exerting his full strength.
Under normal circumstances, this Xiantian Spiritual Treasure would only be used in matters of utmost importance. It had not even been used when they had breached Great Zhou's Human-Demon Defense Line
