Invitation
The High Antiquity Emperor Jiang was already very powerful. The Imperial Preceptor survived being bombed by an immortal for ten days because he tried to hide in a corner of the space and was only slightly injured by the aftershocks of the self-destruction.
The Immortal Fairy's claim that the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang withstood ten attacks refers to standing right in the center of the explosion and enduring ten blows, a feat completely different from that of the Great Yu Imperial Preceptor.
Moreover, how could the explosive power of an Immortal Immortal be compared to that of an Immortal Fairy?
The High Antiquity Emperor Jiang now has a tendency to unify the demon realm, and his strength has reached a new level, entering the first tier of half-immortals. Even the second-in-command of the immortal lineage is no match for him, which shows how powerful the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang is.
Dijiang ethnic group.
"Have all the invitations been sent out?" The High Antiquity Emperor Jiang slightly flapped his wings, emanating a faint but powerful aura, ancient and mysterious, inspiring fear.
In the Demon Realm, strength reigns supreme, and those kneeling below are the strongest of all races. It is by controlling these strongest individuals that he controls these large tribes.
Upon closer inspection, one will discover that these powerful Demon Race all possess a complex mark deep within their eyes—a master-servant mark planted by the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang.
All those who have their imprints planted must obey the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang, and their lives are not in their own hands.
The Dijiang clan envoy intended to implant this master-servant mark on the Jin clan chief, but who could have imagined that the Qiongqi clan possessed such profound resources that they shattered the token?
The Dijiang clan chief looked at the ancient ancestor nervously, quite uneasy. "Reporting to Your Majesty, all the major forces have sent out their orders, but the four major demonic sects are nowhere to be found, so we cannot send them out."
"The Four Great Demonic Sects? Wasn't the Immortal Sect removed from the list?"
"There is another rising force called the Heavenly Court Cult, whose members are all from the High Antiquity Heavenly Court..."
The chieftain of the Dijiang clan recounted the deeds of the Heavenly Court Sect in detail, from the appearance of the Heavenly Venerable of the Han River City to the young sect leader's disruption of the Ask Dao Sect's celebration. All these deeds demonstrated the power of the Heavenly Court Sect.
Emperor Jiang of the High Antiquity snorted coldly, "Heavenly Court? A nonsensical existence. I have traversed the High Antiquity tens of thousands of years and have never heard of any Heavenly Court. It is just like the Immortal Cult, something fabricated by someone."
"As for Dou Tianzun, who knows if it's just a drama orchestrated by cultivators from the Great Yu Dynasty? He's nothing to fear!"
"Our ancestors were wise!"
"And then there are the prodigies of my Dijiang clan, hidden for so long, it's time to let the world know the power of my Dijiang clan."
High Antiquity Emperor Jiang smiled. The prodigy of the Emperor Jiang clan was someone he had personally trained, and could be considered his successor. He was absolutely powerful.
He then looked coldly at the Dijiang clan chief who was prostrate on the ground.
"Who gave you permission to speak to me? Don't you know there should be a proper order of seniority? Only those at the Tribulation Transcendence stage should speak to me."
"You should all have received the invitation from the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang. What are your thoughts?"
Emperor Xia summoned the leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects; six invitations were placed on the table.
Qiu Jinan shrugged. "What can we do? Let's go. Watching the show doesn't cost any money."
"Didn't Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi mention this matter to us before? The conclusion of the discussion at that time was that the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang's unification of the Demon Realm could actually restrain those Demon Race who were hostile to the human race. In the future, whether it is doing business or communicating between cultivators from both sides, it will be much more convenient. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Our Great Xia does not need to get involved in this matter."
"As for his appearance at this juncture, it must be related to the arrival of a great era. However, the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang is not strong enough to threaten the Great Xia. Let's just be spectators."
"That's true."
Golden Buddha Kingdom.
"Is the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang going to establish a demon kingdom?"
The king of the Buddhist kingdom was tall with a shiny bald head. He sat half-naked on a lotus platform, with a Buddha statue made of celestial gold behind him.
He looked at the invitation that had been delivered, turned his prayer beads, and remained silent.
He wrote down the names of those eligible to go on a piece of paper, tore it into strips, crumpled them into balls, and began drawing lots.
"Fine, just pick anyone to go."
East China Sea.
The old dragon emperor coiled on the stone pillar, its body nearly ten thousand meters long. Its blue dragon scales showed signs of age, and its claws were covered with thick calluses. But no one dared to underestimate this old dragon. Whether in the East Sea or the Demon Realm, there was probably no being older than him among the Demon Race today.
In his youth, he single-handedly quelled the Kowloon Civil War, which nearly plunged the entire East China Sea into division.
"It's been a while since we've had any contact with our fellow demons in the Demon Realm. Sending a few little dragons over to catch up would be a good idea, and we can also ask if there's any news about our ancient ancestors."
The Nine Nether Sect.
Mu Baiyi looked at the barbecue restaurant's income with a smile. At this rate, he would definitely be able to pay off the loan in his lifetime, and even have the energy to build Fengdu City.
"Thanks to the Heavenly Court Sect."
He was in the midst of his excitement when a piece of intelligence came from his subordinate, which shocked him greatly.
"The Demon Realm is establishing a Demon Kingdom and is sending out invitations to all major powers to witness it?"
"Why isn't our Nine Nether Sect mentioned? Oh right, they can't find the location."
Such a huge piece of news was completely kept under wraps beforehand. Was the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang's ability to control intelligence really that strong?
Mu Baiyi was in a dilemma. Logically speaking, they should follow Young Master Lu's plan, focus on making money and opening a barbecue restaurant, and not get involved in this matter.
But then again, if you don't attend the momentous event of the founding of the Demon Realm, a momentous occasion recorded in history, you'll feel like you've missed out in the future.
He thought for a moment and then called over the petrified bone.
"Ask Young Master Lu what the Heavenly Court Sect thinks."
Upon learning that the High Antiquity emperor Jiang had established a kingdom, Petrified Bone was equally shocked. He quickly took out the Nine Nether Token, typed in a long message, and asked Young Master Lu.
Lu Yang quickly replied: I have been in the Demon Realm.
Mu Baiyi and Shi Huagu gasped. Who would go to the Demon Realm for no reason? This Young Master Lu must have known that the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang was going to establish a kingdom and rushed there in advance!
This is the true essence of the Heavenly Court Sect.
"Junior brother, are you talking to someone?" Third Senior Sister sensed that Lu Yang was writing something.
Lu Yang casually replied, "Oh, they're from the Nine Nether Sect. They asked me where I am."
"... Nine Nether Sect?"
The third senior sister was silent for a while before speaking in a questioning tone, for the first time doubting that she had misheard.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou then recounted everything about the Heavenly Court Sect, emphasizing that the eldest sister was the sect leader, and the eight elders and the Silent Daoist were the guardian kings.
This was met with an even longer silence from the third senior sister.
Each generation is better than the last; even my master never did anything like this when he was young.
The three of them were sitting on animal skins at this moment, not heading to the Dijiang tribe. There was still a month before the imperial palace was completed, so there was no need to rush there in advance.
The three of them went to another place—the Ancient Realm of Creation.
If the Demon Realm had not established its own kingdom, the once-in-a-century opening of the Ancient Realm of Creation would have been the most anticipated event in the Demon Realm.
The Ancient Realm of Creation will open, and all the geniuses of the Demon Realm will participate.
Aside from cultivation level restrictions, there is only one requirement for participating in the Ancient Creation Realm: pure blood.
Coincidentally, both Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are pure-blooded humans, which perfectly fits the criteria.
