The Beast-Eared Girl's Crown was successfully refined, and a pleasant System notification chimed in Zhao Gongming's mind once more.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully refining the Conceptual Level Magic Treasure, the Beast-Eared Girl's Crown!] [Recipient: Lu Ya (Demon Race Crown Prince)] [Critical Strike Reward Triggered!] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Cultivation Infusion!]
A magnificent, vast, and extremely pure torrent of spiritual energy erupted within Zhao Gongming's body instantly.
His cultivation, which was already stable at the Golden Immortal mid-stage.
Now, it shot up like a rocket, soaring higher and higher!
Golden Immortal late-stage!
Golden Immortal completion!
Until... Golden Immortal peak!
He was just a single step away from proving the Taiyi Dao fruit!
Zhao Gongming's aura surged, and the thirty-six Sea Calming Pearls automatically protected him.
They emitted dazzling five-colored rays of light, forcing Xuandu, Dizang, Cihang, Lu Ya, and the others nearby back several steps.
"This... this is a breakthrough?!"
Grand Master Xuandu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Golden Immortal peak, and in such a short time? What did you eat to grow this fast, junior brother?"
Cihang and Dizang exchanged glances, their hearts filled with shock.
After all, reaching the Golden Immortal realm.
Every step forward required thousands upon tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation and comprehension.
Yet, Zhao Gongming, in the time it took to refine a magic treasure, had leveled up several times?
"Junior brother, how exactly did you do it?"
Xuandu couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Gongming slowly reined in his aura and opened his eyes, a glint flashing within them.
He clasped his hands behind his back, tilted his head back to gaze at the sky, striking a pose of a master burdened by loneliness, and said faintly.
"It's nothing."
"I've only made a slight move, and it's already your limit."
Xuandu: "..."
Cihang: "..."
They suddenly felt it would have been better not to ask!
That was just too cocky!
Just then, Lu Ya eagerly leaned in, his eyes shining.
"Senior brother, where's my magic treasure? Let me see it quickly!"
Zhao Gongming handed the golden crown to Lu Ya.
He also boasted about its absolute dominion effect to the skies.
However, he completely omitted the side effects of transforming into a beast-eared girl and speaking with a "meow," merely calling them a special activation ritual.
"Does it really allow me to command all demons just by wearing it?" Lu Ya sounded doubtful.
"Of course!"
Zhao Gongming pointed to the three people beside him.
"If you don't believe me, ask them. Although my magic treasure has a unique way of use, its effect is absolutely top-notch!"
Xuandu, Cihang, and Dizang exchanged glances.
Though their hearts were bleeding, they still nodded firmly.
After all, as long as they could see someone else suffer Social Death, they would feel balanced.
"Great, that's wonderful!"
Lu Ya was extremely excited.
"Let's go, senior brother, we're going back to the Demon Court!"
"I want to take you all to see my father and second uncle, and properly explain the misunderstanding from just now!"
"As long as I show them this magic treasure, father will definitely believe that senior brother Cihang is innocent!"
Thus, the group took flight and headed straight for the Demon Court, thirty-three heavens away.
leaving the human tribes below in disarray in the wind.
Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, and Ziyi Shi looked at each other.
The image of Dijun-chan winking just now replayed in their minds, their faces pale as paper.
"This... where did this saint's disciple come from?"
"Are the great daos that saint's disciples cultivate... all this strange?"
Youchao Shi swallowed, and said with some doubt about life.
"Perhaps... this is the world of the strong?"
"The strong do this, they must have their reasons..."
Deep in the chaos, Wa Huang Palace.
Empress Nuwa lay languidly on a cloud bed, looking at the shattered water mirror before her, her beautiful face filled with complexity.
She shook her head helplessly and sighed.
"What kind of things are the personal disciples of my three senior brothers?"
"What kind of ghost things are the magic treasures they used?"
"Anyone who didn't know would think they were evil cultivators from somewhere!"
"However..."
In response to the requests of the vast majority of readers, the VIP member ad-free function is now available.
Click to view.
Nuwa recalled Cihang's transformation into a demon immortal just now, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"Cihang really looked quite cute in a skirt."
"And that twin-tailed Dijun..."
Nuwa shivered.
"I truly dare not look at it a second time in this life... No, why do I feel a little hooked?"
"Do I really want to watch it a few more times?"
Demon Court, South Heaven Gate. Lu Ya led Zhao Gongming and others through unimpeded.
Along the way, they saw only magnificent palaces and magnificent buildings.
Countless great demons patrolled, and upon seeing Lu Ya, they respectfully bowed.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhao Gongming looked at the luxurious scene and couldn't help but sigh.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the evil feudalism!"
"The evil extravagance, the evil power!"
Grand Master Xuandu couldn't help but retort from the side.
"Junior Brother, don't you also always use your status as a saint's disciple to get things done?"
"Just now, you were shouting louder than anyone else about being a personal disciple of the Three Pure Ones."
Zhao Gongming was stunned, then came to his senses and slapped his thigh excitedly.
"That's right!"
"I'm also part of the privileged class, I have a lot of power too!"
"Who says this feudal mythology is bad? This mythology is too good, it's really fragrant!"
Just as they were bantering.
Rumble!
From the direction of the Demon Emperor's Palace ahead, a world-shattering roar suddenly came.
Terrifying True Sun Fire raged, and the sound of the Chaos Bell shook the nine heavens.
Two majestic figures were seen fighting fiercely in the void, locked in an intense battle.
It was Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Demon Emperor Dijun!
"Monster, get out of my Big Brother's body immediately!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes were blood red, the Chaos Bell hovered above his head, and he roared furiously while smashing it.
"My Big Brother would never have such vulgar fetishes!"
"You will not defile my Big Brother's reputation!"
Dijun, who was on the opposite side, was beaten and fled in disarray, looking bewildered and wronged.
"Second Brother, are you crazy?!"
"I am sober, I am normal, I think you are confused!"
"I'm your Big Brother, how dare you lay a hand on your Big Brother?!"
Meanwhile, in the corner, Demon Master Kunpeng was huddled into a ball, trembling.
He didn't dare to step forward and mediate, terrified of being caught in the crossfire between these two brothers.
Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, Zhao Gongming rushed forward without a second thought, gathering his breath and shouting.
"Stop!!"
"Please, stop fighting!"
This shout successfully made Tai Yi and Di Jun pause their actions for a moment.
Immediately after, Lu Ya followed, rushing between the two and shouting anxiously.
"Father, Second Uncle, stop fighting!"
"It's not what you think, it was all a misunderstanding!"
"Actually, it's all because of the magic treasure Senior Brother Zhao refined. There's no such thing as demonic possession!"
Tai Yi and Di Jun simultaneously stopped, looking at Lu Ya suspiciously.
"Magic treasure?" Tai Yi frowned.
"What kind of magic treasure could turn Big Brother into... into that?"
Lu Ya took a deep breath. To prove his innocence and to demonstrate the magic treasure's power, he no longer hesitated. He directly summoned the golden Beast-Eared Girl's Crown and put it on his head.
"Watch closely, Second Uncle, I'll show you now!"
A flash of pink light swept through the air.
The next moment, the entire place fell silent.
The formerly heroic Crown Prince Lu Ya now had a pair of fluffy, twitching cat ears growing from his head.
A long cat tail had also appeared behind him.
His entire being had become incredibly cute and soft, exuding an urge to be petted.
Lu Ya had no idea how explosive his current appearance was. He looked at Tai Yi and Di Jun with a serious expression and opened his mouth to explain.
"Father, Second Uncle!"
"It's really just the effect of the magic treasure, meow!"
"That's just how it is, meow!"
Tai Yi: "..."
Di Jun: "..."
Kunpeng: "..."
Zhao Gongming covered his mouth from behind, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
It's over, the Demon Court... is truly tainted this time.
