Devil Master

The Demon Realm.

Everywhere you look, you see mountains and plains, but without exception, they are all barren.

It resembles both the ruins of a land after a nuclear explosion and a desolate, lifeless star.

This is a world without trees, rivers, vegetation, birds, beasts, snakes, insects, fish, or birds.

Yet, in this world where there should be no trace of life, there are strange-looking buildings that resemble earthen houses.

These buildings appear to be very low, with half of them above ground and the other half underground.

However, at the very center of this cluster of low-rise buildings stands a tall tower.

A towering tower that reaches into the clouds, exceeding a thousand meters in height.

The tower appears to be made of some kind of special crystal, shimmering with light, giving it a technological feel.

Compared to the surrounding ruins, it gives people an inexplicable sense of incongruity.

Hundreds of powerful Demonic Spirit constantly circled around the tower, roaming back and forth.

Many of them are spirit lord-level Demonic Spirit with a body length exceeding one hundred meters.

Occasionally, even mid-level or high-level spirits may appear at two hundred meters or even three hundred meters.

Judging from the way these Demonic Spirit circled around the tower, they were clearly guarding it.

The fact that so many Demonic Spirit spirits guard it, including high-ranking Demonic Spirit, shows how important this tower is in the Demon Realm.

In the Demon Realm, tower-like structures are of paramount importance...

Clearly, this is the key to the Tower of Immortality, which records the information of each high-ranking spirit and allows them to be resurrected time and time again.

At this moment, on the top floor of this tower, demonic Demonic Spirit surrounded each other, their spiritual energy constantly converging.

At the very center of these spiritual fluctuations was a projection-like display of light and shadow, but what was projected from it was not some strange Demonic Spirit shape, but a person.

A figure who appeared to be about three meters tall, shrouded in a long black robe, wielding a white staff of the same height as himself.

Their spiritual communication, when translated into language, revealed that they were discussing the fall of the Star-Scarred Demon God and the Dragon-Sky Demon God.

"It really is that kind of monster, that kind of monster has reappeared?"

"How could that be? Barto, you must be mistaken."

"Xuan Yang, your demonic body was destroyed not long ago, and you returned to the Tower of Immortality. You know the most about what happened there. Have those monsters really reappeared?"

The spiritual energy of each powerful being constantly interacted.

This exchange is like the collision between electronic signals; in fact, dozens or hundreds of exchanges can occur in a fraction of a second.

Even each exchange can clearly convey the emotions of the communicator, so as to avoid unnecessary misjudgments caused by mere verbal expression.

"The reappearance of those monsters is not impossible."

These arguments and discussions continued for a long time until the black-robed figure holding the white staff, located at the center of all the spiritual fluctuations, spoke.

"The actions of those outsiders are digging into the very foundation of this world. Some of their actions are bound to alert the terrifying being hidden deep within the spirit world, which will then send out these monsters again to stop them."

His spiritual energy reverberated throughout the arena, quickly causing all the high-ranking spirits present to become serious.

"We must stop them."

"We tried to open the Blood Abyss, wasn't that precisely to prevent them from awakening that terrifying being hidden deep within the Spirit Realm by eliminating them? It's just that they received support from those outsiders, which thwarted our attack..."

"Can't we win the war against the Bloodbath Abyss?"

These spirits constantly communicate with each other.

At this moment, a sovereign-level Demonic Spirit, whose size was over four hundred meters, suddenly addressed the black-robed figure in the center. "Great Emperor Cangming, wasn't the Black Flame Devil Master's plan to search that world and force these outsiders to retreat by undermining their resources supposed to be almost successful? Why has there been a sudden lack of progress recently?"

Vast Ocean!

For a spirit lord with a size of four hundred meters to communicate in this manner...

He was none other than Cangming, one of the five Devil Masters of the Demon Realm and the overall person in charge of the Blood Swamp Devil Master Abyss Battlefield.

A rising leader who is said to be the most promising to lead the entire Demonic Spirit race to revitalize the Demon Realm!

"Hongying, don't pin your hopes on that plan. It succeeded, but it also failed."

"It failed?"

"We have opened up that world, but that world is dying. The remaining 'spirits' have all acquired masters, so Black Flame cannot expand its influence there."

The spirit of the Cangming Devil Master echoed within the tower.

"A world that is about to die..."

The sovereign-level Demonic Spirit known as Red Firefly was somewhat dejected. "In that case, our people simply don't have a suitable environment to survive over there."

"Yes, so our goal still needs to be focused on this world. The goals of those outsiders may be the same as ours, but they are better at disguising themselves. We need to speed things up."

The spirit of the Devil Master Cangming resonated.

"So you mean..."

"The Black Flame Devil Master's minions have arrived from another direction... Give them two years to adapt. Two years later, the Blood Swamp Demon Abyss War will come to an end."

As the Devil Master Cangming spoke, he continued to give orders, "We need to track down the monster that devoured Xinghen and Longxiao as soon as possible. We must find out whether its appearance means that a new enemy is about to appear."

"Ordinary spirit lords cannot track that monster. One of my avatars barely managed to squeeze into that world. I will take responsibility for this matter."

It is known as the Overlord-level Demonic Spirit Path of Red Firefly.

"Okay, it's up to you now."

The Devil Master Cangming instructed, "Find out as soon as possible. If those monsters really reappear, we must prepare early and end the war in the shortest possible time. If necessary, we must stake the foundation of our world and activate the other few Towers of Immortality."

Star Province.

After completing the resettlement of Chao Jiuyin, Xia Zhongyuan, and others, Gu Jinlai quickly devoted himself to the reorganization of Lingxiao Palace.

The original foundation of Lingxiao Palace consisted of institutions such as the Purgatory Hall, the Yellow Springs Hall, and the Cold Moon Hall.

But now...

With the addition of Liu Feiyun, Su Yu, and others, the personnel and organizational structure became significantly more complex and required a complete reorganization.

Gu Jinlai and Xin Tianqi and others had a round of discussions, during which Jin Sixian also joined in.

She came from an official family on Blue Star; her father held a high position and was in charge of a city. With her suggestions and additions, the Nine Palaces system of Lingxiao Palace was soon introduced.

Besides the Palace Master, Gu Jinlai, below him is the Central Hall, which is directly under the Palace Master's jurisdiction and responsible for assisting the Palace Master in handling trivial matters. The Hall Master is Liu Feiyun.

In response to the creation palace established by the Celestial Master, the palace master has served concurrently Gu Jinlai.

Below that is the Hall of War, where Gu Jinlai also serves as the Hall Master, Ji Lie as the Deputy Hall Master, and Su Yu temporarily takes over.

The Hall of Glory, where Xin Tian resigned as the hall master and was in charge of appointments, dismissals, and performance evaluations.

The remaining department, the Household Registration Hall, which was in charge of household registration, land, and taxation, was taken over by Gu Xiangyang.

He planned to entrust the logistics and finance of Spirit Treasure to Zhuo Chunqiu, the former head of Liyang Cave. He was once a Heavenly Lord and has now turned to cultivating as Celestial Person. Whether it is a cultivator or a Celestial Master, he is an expert in allocating resources.

Gu Chifeng, the captain of the personal guard Gu Jinlai, is in charge of the Xingtian Hall, which oversees judicial and penal matters.

Lu Zhanxian was in charge of guarding the internal security of the Zhenguan Hall.

As for the Hall of Inheritance, which is in charge of education, it was handed over to Xuan Yue of the Hall of Three Purities Gu Jinlai.

After Xuan Yue lost two battles against Wu Zhong True Person and Wu Nian True Person, he realized that this person was simply not suited for any work related to combat.

Fortunately, he is upright, kind-hearted, patient, and responsible. In addition, as the master of the World Sword, he is also quite talented. Although he is a little young, with proper training, he will surely become a qualified new Fire Palace Master in the future.

Moreover, he had arranged for several academy masters, including Liu Jingtao, Sansheng Laozu, and Leng Ningshuang, to assist him, so he wasn't worried about the Firewood Hall being short-lived.

Lingxiao Palace completed its restructuring and quickly got back on track.

Since no one could withstand the onslaught of Lingxiao Palace's troops, the entire Qiantian was wiped out at an extremely rapid pace.

Even in Zhenbei City, located outside the Endless Mountains, the dire situation was greatly reversed as Gu Luochen led the Heavenly Dragon Wood to provide support.

The Demonic Beasts of Endless Mountain even became a hunting ground for Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, and others.

Leading a large number of demon god guards, they roamed the Endless Mountains. Ordinary Demonic Beasts kings could not withstand the combined attacks of Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, and others.

As for those top-tier Demonic Beasts kings, and even demon emperors...

With the protection of the Tianlong Wood, their safety is assured.

After all, this Heavenly Dragon's combat power is comparable to that of a supreme Void Immortal. Not to mention that no Demon Emperor has appeared in the Endless Mountain, even if one or two Demon Emperors do appear, as long as they are not top-tier beings like Kaya or Changheng, the Heavenly Dragon Wood will have more than enough power to deal with them.

Time flies, and three months have passed in a flash.

After three months of turmoil, the reorganization of Lingxiao Palace and the purge of the entire Qian Tian land gradually subsided.

Lingxiao Palace.

In the exclusive training room, Gu Jinlai.

He sensed the subtle changes in the chaotic astral body and frowned slightly.

"After investing hundreds of beams of light, is this the best we can achieve?"

He looked at the Cultivation Method, whose color had only deepened slightly but had not undergone any substantial change, and slowly exhaled.

"When it comes to understanding innate divine beasts, I am probably no less knowledgeable than any mortal immortal, and even the celestial immortals and immortal lords in the immortal kingdoms may not know more about divine beasts than I do."

This is something that has been a source of great confidence Gu Jinlai.

Because of the memories belonging to the Aries star lord in his mind.

The mythical beasts of a thousand years ago were much more active than they are now.

"Unfortunately... my Chaotic Astral Body is not a simulation of any living divine beast. Furthermore... even the Lord of Aries has never hunted a real sacred beast!"

Gu Jinlai, it has never transformed into a chaotic starlight body of "deep gold" color.

It seems that to further strengthen and perfect this Cultivation Method, he either needs to find a true sacred beast and figure out the difference between those so-called holy beasts and innate divine beasts, or...

He glanced at the Eternal Furnace, the Spirit Technique, and the Nebula Strategy.

The only option left is to begin cultivating the "Three Realms".
