History

Expansion and the Witch-Demon conflict

After absorbing former forces of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, the Demon Court seeks the Dragon Clan’s submission. It sends Demon Sage Ji Meng, a former Dragon Clan general, to pressure the Four Dragon Kings 28. Later, Di Jun tests the Ten Demon Sages’ loyalty with Fortune Pills. Ji Meng’s disloyalty is exposed and he is eliminated 88 89.

The court attacks Wuzhuang Temple in an attempt to seize Hong Yun’s Primordial Violet Qi, but Xuan Du and Duobao’s arrival interrupts the confrontation 91 93. During the Witch-Demon War, Di Jun has the court’s leaders take Tianxin Pills for an advantage; their childlike transformations become a source of embarrassment when the conflict is broadcast 106 115 122. A ceasefire follows, though suspicion between the Witch Clan and Demon Court persists 130 151.

Recruitment and solar energy

Di Jun uses Spirit Mirrors as a recruitment incentive, offering joining races protection and Demon Race fortune in return for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures 151. He later promotes the court through videos of his daily work, countering its reputation for harsh rule and attracting more races 200 201.

The court cooperates with Xuandan on solar-powered Spirit Mirrors and organizes their mass production and distribution. Di Jun, Taiyi, and the Golden Crow Princes take turns releasing solar energy in place of the Sun Star, earning Heavenly Dao Merit 222 239 240. Di Jun subsequently makes the Solar Energy Refining Method available to all beings through the court’s Spirit Mirror account, bringing further goodwill and recruits 301.

Heavenly Realm and later conflict

After the Witch and Demon Clans move beyond the Witch-Demon Tribulation, Di Jun declares that the Demon Race’s Heavenly Court will reside in the Heavenly Realm. The court’s demons ascend there 316 317. Following Di Jun’s attainment of sainthood, the court mobilizes against the Western Teachings and surrounds Mount Sumeru 392 393.
