West.
Mount Sumeru.
Jieyin and Zhunti were calculating with their fingers.
"What exactly is going on? Why would the Sun Star cause such a massive celestial phenomenon?" Jieyin muttered.
After their calculations, their brows were tightly furrowed. They discovered that they couldn't deduce any information at all.
"What should we do? If we can't deduce anything, how should we proceed?" Jieyin asked Zhunti, looking at him.
"Since that's the case, why don't we go and see for ourselves? Such a celestial phenomenon must mean something big is happening," Zhunti replied with a serious expression.
"Good! We in the West definitely cannot miss out on such a great opportunity. How about we go directly to the Donghua Immortal Palace? We've had dealings with Dong Wang Gong before, and they will surely be investigating. We can just ask them for the results," Jieyin suggested.
"Excellent! Let's depart."
With that said.
Zhunti Daoist immediately transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the Donghua Immortal Palace, with Jieyin Daoist closely following.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Bai Ze Palace, Bai Jiu and Bai Ze were drinking themselves into a stupor, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
"Bai Jiu, my disciple is now the Demon Emperor. You'd better show me some respect from now on," Bai Ze said, looking slightly tipsy.
"You should show me some respect too. My Mo Huang calls me his father-in-law," Bai Jiu said, a smug smile on his face.
Just then.
Outside the Bai Ze Palace, a seductive fox-woman, covered in a thin veil, hurried over. Her skin, like jade, was alluringly revealed.
"Clan Leader, Lord Bai Ze, someone is here to see you," the fox-woman said.
This fox-woman was from the Fox Clan, sent by Bai Jiu to the Bai Ze Palace.
"No, no, don't bother me. Can't you see I'm having a good time drinking with my old friend Bai Ze?" Bai Jiu waved his hand dismissively, not wanting his current enjoyment to be disturbed.
The fox-woman immediately said, "But the person said his name is Tu Shan Qing!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jiu's spirits lifted, and much of his drunkenness dissipated. "Tu Shan Qing? Quickly, invite him in!"
Seeing Bai Jiu's reaction, Bai Ze chuckled from his reclining position. "Bai Jiu, you're the Demon Emperor's father-in-law. How can you lose your composure like this? It's just a fox."
"What fox? This isn't just any fox. Tu Shan Qing's strength was already at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal before. After ten thousand years, he should have improved. He might have even reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level. Don't you want to recruit such a powerful demon into the Demon Race?" Bai Jiu said to Bai Ze.
Hearing this, Bai Ze immediately changed from his lazy demeanor. He tidied his clothes and sat up straight. "Do you even need to ask? We must recruit him into the Demon Race. I'm determined to get this Tu Shan Qing. Hurry and invite him in."
Afterward, Tu Shan Qing entered the Bai Ze Palace.
After introductions, Tu Shan Qing met Bai Ze, but he concealed the fact that he had joined the Donghua Immortal Palace.
After some pleasantries, he finally got to the main point. "Brother Bai Jiu, Fellow Daoist Bai Ze. I was living peacefully in Tu Shan, but some time ago, I suddenly discovered that near the Sun Star, purple energy stretched for thirty thousand miles, and merit golden dragons were constantly falling. What exactly happened here?"
As soon as he spoke, Bai Jiu was about to reply but remembered what Li Mo had said in the Sun God Palace.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
The two exchanged a look and communicated privately via telepathy.
"Bai Ze, should we tell the truth?" Bai Jiu asked.
"Tell the truth!" Bai Ze replied decisively.
"But if we do, won't we expose our trump cards?" Bai Jiu said.
"That's not right. If we tell the truth, Li Mo calls you father-in-law, and he's my disciple. With our high status, if we invite Tu Shan Qing to join the Heavenly Court, won't he agree? Then he'll be one of us, and how could our secrets be exposed?"
Bai Ze gave Bai Jiu a reassuring look.
Hearing this, Bai Jiu nodded and no longer concealed anything. He pulled Tu Shan Qing over, slinging an arm around his shoulder. "Tu Shan Qing, I consider you a brother. After I tell you this, you must keep it a secret."
Tu Shan Qing's expression changed slightly, and he was overjoyed inwardly.
Was the secrecy so well-maintained?
It seemed like a truly significant event. Reporting this to the Immortal Head later would surely earn him great merit.
He said earnestly, "Brother Jiu, just tell me. I promise I won't say a word. If there's anything Tu Shan Qing can't do, it's keeping secrets. I'm a fox who can definitely keep a secret and will remain tight-lipped."
"Come closer and I'll tell you!" Bai Jiu said.
With that, Tu Shan Qing leaned in.
As he listened to Bai Jiu's words, his expression became incredibly complex.
"A few days ago, three Demon Emperors appeared in the Sun God Palace."
"The third Demon Emperor is named Li Mo, also known as Mo Huang."
"It was he who, through his words, caused the Heavenly Dao to tremble."
"This is what caused the purple energy to fill the air and merit to descend from the heavens."
"He proclaimed himself a Grand Unity Golden Immortal on the spot, with twelve-petal golden lotuses blooming, right before the eyes of many great demons of the Demon Race. We were all stunned."
Hearing this, Bai Ze felt a pang of annoyance and telepathically said to Bai Jiu, "Bai Jiu, you scoundrel, what nonsense are you spouting? Li Mo's current strength is only that of a Golden Immortal. How can you say he proclaimed himself a Grand Unity Golden Immortal? And twelve-petal lotuses blooming? Isn't that just making things up?"
"What do you know? Li Mo isn't going to fight them anyway, so it doesn't matter if I brag a little. The more I brag, the higher his chance of joining our Heavenly Court, right?" Bai Jiu retorted.
However, Bai Ze couldn't understand Bai Jiu's thinking.
The more you brag, the more it shows how awesome you are.
Your daughter is about to become Li Mo's woman! You're honored!
Hehe! Brag away, brag away, I'm honored too.
Bai Ze didn't expose him.
These words caused Tu Shan Qing, who was standing nearby, to change his expression repeatedly, his face a kaleidoscope of emotions.
He truly hadn't expected such significant events to have occurred within the Demon Race just a few days ago.
The Demon Race had gained three new Demon Emperors!
Among them, the third Demon Emperor, Mo Huang, was actually the "culprit" behind the celestial phenomena.
From a mere Mystic Immortal, he had drawn thirty thousand miles of purple qi, received heavenly merit, and instantly reached the Great Luo realm!
Originally, he had doubted why Di Jun and the others would allow a Mystic Immortal to become a Demon Emperor.
Now, he understood!
This Mystic Immortal was truly extraordinary.
With just a word, he could bring forth heavenly principles and shake the very Dao of Heaven.
This reasonably explained why Di Jun and the others had made a mere Mystic Immortal the fifth Demon Emperor.
"Amazing, amazing! I never expected the Heavenly Court to have such a figure. Could he be a reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God from beyond the heavens?" Tu Shan Qing guessed.
As soon as he said this!
Bai Jiu and Bai Ze were stunned.
Bai Ze spoke, "It's entirely possible that he is indeed a reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God from the chaos. Otherwise, there's no other explanation. Perhaps he's even more powerful than the Great God Pangu?"
"Highly likely!"
The three of them said in unison.
Upon realizing this, Bai Ze and the other two gasped in unison.
Reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God!
Terrifying indeed!
Originally, Bai Ze had only thought of this on a whim.
But now, it seemed that whenever he tried to divine anything about this disciple, he saw nothing.
This made him feel that the theory of a Chaos Demon God reincarnation was even more plausible.
Back then, Pangu had split the heavens and the earth, slaying three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.
Were any of those Chaos Demon Gods not incredibly powerful beings?
However, they were speculating about other Chaos Demon Gods, ones even more powerful than Pangu.
Bai Ze seized the moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Tu Shan Qing, Mo Huang is my disciple, and Bai Jiu's future son-in-law. I, Bai Ze, hereby invite you to join the Heavenly Court. What do you say, fellow Daoist?"
"I can, but I need to return to Tu Shan to arrange some matters. I will come back soon after I leave." With that, Tu Shan Qing left immediately.
After leaving Bai Ze Palace, he sped off like a meteor, heading straight for Donghua Immortal Palace.
"Purple qi spanning thirty thousand miles, heavenly merit descending!"
"Instant Great Luo, twelve-petal lotus blooming!"
"Reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God from beyond the heavens!"
Hiss! Thinking of these, Tu Shan Qing felt the sheer impact of the information was too immense.
He had to hurry back and inform the two Immortal Leaders.
