Legends of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld

The northern reaches of the Prehistoric World, deep within Hanyuan.

Empress Pingxin appeared silently amid the eternal, unchanging cold and desolation.

She gazed calmly toward the heart of the abyss, where a colossal Kun lay sleeping on the ice.

"Kunpeng."

Her cool Dao Sound went straight to his True Spirit.

Kunpeng's body trembled almost imperceptibly. He slowly opened his eyes, which resembled swirling nebulae, and saw Ping Xin reflected in them.

After a moment of silence, his enormous form abruptly shrank. He became the Daoist Kunpeng, clad in a deep-blue Daoist robe, his face shadowed and sinister.

"What brings a Saint like Empress Pingxin here in person?" Kunpeng's voice was hoarse, slowed by long disuse.

"The position of Beast Path Master in the Six Paths of Reincarnation has been vacant for a long time."

Empress Pingxin came straight to the point.

"The master of this path must discern the ignorance within living beings and guide them toward goodness and liberation with benevolence and forgiveness."

"You are the Teacher of Ten Thousand Demons, and once taught and guided the Heavenly Court's demons through Demon Script. You are well suited to this position."

Kunpeng's eyes wavered violently.

Beast Path Master?

Bound to the Earthly Dao, he would enjoy the boundless fortune of reincarnation and be undying and indestructible!

He had cultivated in the Northern Sea for countless ages after achieving the Primordial Realm, yet his strength had only reached the second heaven of the Primordial Realm.

Kunpeng didn't hesitate. "Kunpeng accepts the decree. My thanks to Empress Pingxin for granting me this honor!"

Ping Xin nodded slightly and swept out her hand. A beam of reincarnation light enveloped Kunpeng, and they vanished from the Northern Sea in an instant.
