Demonic Dao Principles: Entry-Level, Xihe and Changxi's Fates!

Shadows of demons thick as layers, boundless demonic might.

On Penglai Immortal Island, endless Demonic Path Rules coiled around, the entire sky turning into darkness. Only East King Duke's body stood unmoving, his eyes tightly shut.

Boom!

The Demonic Path Rules and demonic qi converged.

Between East King Duke's brows, a mysterious Demonic Divine Mark emerged, radiating supreme Demonic Dao Principles.

Unlike before, the Demonic Divine Mark gave East King Duke an added hint of sinister charm, as if it could more easily draw the gaze of all beings, his bearing exceedingly extraordinary.

"Demonic Dao Principles at entry level, This Emperor finally has the combat power of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin at the initial stage!"

"Immortal and Demonic depend on each other, vast and eternal. The Immortal Dao Law should also advance a step further, reaching the state of Law Perfection!"

The Hongmeng Immortal Palace floated before East King Duke, the power of the Immortal Dao pouring endlessly into his body. As the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique circulated, the Great Luo Three Flowers comprehended the Immortal Dao.

In no time at all, ethereal Immortal Dao Laws spread out. East King Duke's foundation grew deeper and deeper, his entire person like Mount Tai itself, awe-inspiring and unshakable.

Since the beginning of his transformation, East King Duke had taken the Great Dao of Strength as his root, with the remaining Three Thousand Great Daos as supplements. Both his background and foundation were exceedingly deep.

Coupled with reforging his Dao Heart using the Pangu Heart, East King Duke now had no flaws whatsoever.

But the Great Dao of Strength was extremely difficult to comprehend. Thus, after all these years, East King Duke had only barely managed to cultivate the Law of Strength to the late stage.

To increase combat power and fight across realms, he had to comprehend other laws.

As of now: Demonic Dao Principles at the initial stage, Yin-Yang Law at perfection, Immortal Dao Law at perfection, Space Law at perfection, Law of Strength at the late stage.

These Dao Principles and Laws all ranked among the forefront of the Three Thousand Great Daos, their profundity and creative power boundless. This was why East King Duke could remain invincible in the world.

Now, aside from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, his strength had reached the pinnacle of the Primordial Wilderness.

"At present, it seems only the Yin-Yang Law, thanks to the Great Dao Yin-Yang Art, can undergo a transformation in a short time. But to cultivate this path, I need a Dao Companion!"

"This Emperor's Dao Companions are still too few. Perhaps..."

East King Duke rubbed his chin, a slightly lecherous smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

From beginning to end, he had never hidden his desire: to take female immortals of extraordinary talent and peerless beauty into his harem.

Now, West Queen Mother, Nuwa, Yinglong, and Yaochi were all East King Duke's Dao Companions.

But a harem of three thousand beauties was still a distant goal.

After all, East King Duke's standards were high. As his Dao Companion, one must at least have Quasi-Saint Peak strength, or the potential to prove Dao and become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

[Ding!]

[God-Tier Selection Mission refreshed. The host is now given two choices:]

[Choice One: Cultivate diligently without relying on Dao Companions, transform the Yin-Yang Law into Yin-Yang Dao Principles. Reward: one random Low-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure.]

[Choice Two: Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi plot to establish a Heavenly Marriage, intending to wed the two female immortals Xihe and Changxi. The host takes both female immortals into his own harem. Reward: two strands of Primordial Violet Qi.]

Just as East King Duke was indulging in his fantasies, the System Big Sister Voice echoed within his Primordial Spirit.

The System understood East King Duke's thoughts well!

"A random Low-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure is indeed no small temptation, but This Emperor already has many spirit treasures. There's no need to choose this."

"As for Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi plotting over Xihe and Changxi, if This Emperor doesn't step in, those two fairies will be defiled by those mangy Golden Crows. Though I do enjoy playing the Cao Thief, where's the thrill compared to conquering the goddesses of the Moon Star?"

"Now that the Human Race has been established, the Human Path is just beginning to manifest. There should also be Saint seats under the Human Path. Two strands of Primordial Violet Qi are just enough to nurture two Saints!"

"System, This Emperor chooses to become Dao Companions with the two goddesses of the Moon Star!"

East King Duke weighed the options briefly, then made his choice.

Xihe and Changxi—their auras were cool and pure, their beauty heavenly. They gave him a very different feeling.

Who could resist the temptation of a pair of Sister Flowers?

East King Duke's heart was stirred!

[Congratulations, host. You have received two strands of Primordial Violet Qi.]

Inside the System space.

The Primordial Violet Qi shimmered with Seven-Colored Divine Light, revealing the principles of the Great Dao, radiating profound rules.

Unlike the Primordial Violet Qi bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Primordial Violet Qi rewarded by the System did not require Heavenly Dao Merit. One only needed to refine it to merge the Three Corpses and thus prove Dao and become a Saint.

The previous strand of Primordial Violet Qi, East King Duke had already given to Yaochi. After all, she was his Dao Companion and also the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's page boy, capable of becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Qiongqi cultivated the Thunder Law, walking the path of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

As for Fuxi, since he had not joined the Demon Race, he could avoid reincarnation. If he obtained Human Race merit and fortune, he could prove Dao and become a Saint.

Thus, neither of East King Duke's subordinates needed Primordial Violet Qi.

Leaving it to sit idle would be a waste. Better to give it to his Dao Companions.

"Two strands of Primordial Violet Qi as a betrothal gift—Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi shouldn't be able to match that, should they?"

"Xihe, Changxi... hehe..."

Immediately, East King Duke stepped onto the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus and flew into the Nine Heavens, heading toward the Taiyin Star.

As for why he did not bring Qiongqi, it was because Qiongqi had long since gone to Buzhou Mountain to comprehend the laws alongside the Thunder Ancestor Witch Qiangliang in seclusion.

Galaxy Star Sea, Other Shore Starry Sky.

In the vast and empty space, countless stars operated according to ancient patterns.

Among them, the radiance of the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star was the most dazzling; these two Archaic Stars were transformed from the eyes of the Great God Pangu and possessed supreme fortune.

Taiyin Star.

The Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Osmanthus Tree, emitted a pure divine light, and bursts of refreshing floral fragrance drifted through the air.

At this moment, two figures had appeared on the originally desolate Taiyin Star.

Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had come specifically to discuss the matter of the Heavenly Marriage with the two Taiyin Star Gods, and they had also promised many benefits.

"Xihe, Changxi, you are the Taiyin Star Gods, while This Emperor and Taiyi are the Sun Star Gods. We are fated Dao Companions, a match made in heaven."

"Moreover, if the two fairies become Demon Queens, you will be able to enjoy the fortune of the entire Demon Race. Your comprehension of the laws will then reach a higher level, advancing several times faster!"

"What do the two of you think?"

Dijun's expression was gentle as he stared at Xihe, slightly lost in thought.

Sun and Taiyin represented the Way of Taiji Yin-Yang. If he could form a Dao Companion bond with Xihe, Dijun's origin and cultivation would increase considerably.

As for Changxi, she was meant for his younger brother, Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"Sister, you absolutely cannot agree!"

"We have admired the Immortal Emperor for tens of thousands of years. And whether it's West Queen Mother or Saint Nuwa, both are willing to become the Immortal Emperor's Dao Companions. We sisters are no worse than them!"

"Besides, we once made a promise to marry the same person!"

Changxi had long been unable to tolerate Dijun's endless rambling. If it weren't for East King Duke, they would naturally have become Dao Companions with the two Demon Race lords. But East King Duke was simply too perfect—unmatched in both strength and temperament.

Moreover, Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had been waging constant war with the Wu Race over the position of Lord of Heaven and Earth, creating countless bloodshed. Becoming Demon Queens might put their lives in danger.

"Little sister, do not speak recklessly!"

Xihe said softly, though her expression showed no sign of blaming Changxi.

To avoid offending the Demon Race, she had been listening to Dijun's talk of the Heavenly Marriage.

Now that Changxi had laid everything out on the table, judging by the expressions of Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they were clearly suppressing their inner fury.

Men hate being compared the most!

"Although we sisters are the Taiyin Star Gods, and in principle should form a marriage bond with you brothers, Changxi and I already have someone in our hearts. You two fellow Daoists should seek another match!"

"This Concubine and my sister still need to cultivate diligently, so we will not keep the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor here as guests!"

Xihe's voice was gentle as she spoke, her meaning already clear.

But the Heavenly Marriage was no trivial matter. On one hand, it could earn merit and fortune; on the other, Dijun needed to control the Taiyin Star so that the Myriad Stars Great Array would be fully complete.

Today, no matter what, Xihe and Changxi had to become their Dao Companions.

"Xihe, Changxi, please think twice!"

"The Other Shore Starry Sky is the territory of our Demon Race. You must join the Demon Race and become Demon Queens, so that you will not be in danger during the Wu-Yao Conflict."

"This Emperor's patience is limited. Otherwise, do not blame me for using force to suppress you."

Dijun's eyes were filled with overbearing intent.

As the Lord of the Demon Race, for the sake of fortune and the elusive Sage Realm, he did not mind resorting to underhanded means.

The Ten Great Yao Saints and Old Ancestor Kunpeng were all at the Quasi-Saint Peak realm.

Even if Xihe and Changxi could not contribute to the Demon Race, keeping them as caged birds would suffice. As long as the Heavenly Marriage proceeded smoothly, Dijun was confident he could deal with the Wu Race.

As Soon as These Words Were Spoken, the two Female Immortals' faces turned ashen.

If Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi used force, they would fall into an abyss of eternal damnation.

"The majestic Heavenly Emperor, yet you resort to threats and coercion, forcing Female Immortals into submission!"

"Say this aloud—are you not afraid the beings of the Primordial Wilderness will laugh at you?"

Just as Xihe and Changxi were about to resist, East King Duke descended atop the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus, like a savior arriving!
