Seven Sages of Plum Mountain Enter the Chaos Pearl, Five Great Demon Sages Shocked by Nine Infants' Demise!

Longevity Immortal Palace, Imperial Study.

Di Xin sat in the seat of honor within the study, awaiting the arrival of the Seven Sages of Plum Mountain.

Before long, Bigan led the Seven Sages of Plum Mountain to the entrance of the Imperial Study in Longevity Immortal Palace.

Bigan said, "His Majesty is waiting for you inside. Go on in."

The seven of them, led by Yuan Hong, said, "Mm, many thanks, Lord Bigan, Assistant Prime Minister!"

With that, Bigan departed.

Yuan Hong and the other six then entered the Imperial Study in Longevity Immortal Palace.

Yuan Hong and the Six Monsters of Plum Mountain saw Di Xin seated in the seat of honor.

At once, the seven respectfully bowed to Di Xin. "We pay our respects to Your Majesty, the Human Emperor!"

Di Xin smiled. "No need for such formalities."

After the seven rose, they looked at Di Xin.

Di Xin said, "Yuan Hong, Jin Dasheng, Zhu Zizhen, Dai Li, Wu Long, Chang Hao, Yang Xian—the seven of you will accompany me somewhere shortly."

The seven asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, where are we going?"

Di Xin said, "You will know soon enough."

With a thought from Di Xin, Di Xiao entered the Imperial Study from outside.

Yuan Hong and the others looked at Di Xiao, then at Di Xin. At that moment, they completely believed what Di Xiao had told them before.

Di Xin looked at the stunned Seven Sages of Plum Mountain and said, "Yuan Hong, the seven of you may go with Di Xiao."

After Di Xin spoke, Di Xiao came before Yuan Hong and the others.

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, Zhu Zizhen, Jin Dasheng, Dai Li, Wu Long, Chang Hao, Yang Xian—you seven, follow me."

With that, Di Xiao willed it, placing the gateway to the Chaos Pearl's spatial world at the exit of the Imperial Study.

Seeing Di Xiao turn and leave, the seven followed closely behind him.

In an instant, space and time shifted, and the seven entered the Chaos Pearl's spatial world.

In that instant, Yuan Hong and the other Six Monsters of Plum Mountain were utterly stunned, their mouths hanging wide open...

After a moment, Yuan Hong said:

"Your Majesty, where is this???"

"And why can we sense such incredibly dense spiritual energy here?"

"Those towering, sky-piercing colossal peaks, and those majestic structures floating in the void—these are things that should not exist in the mortal realm at all!"

Di Xiao said, "This is a secret realm of the Great Shang Dynasty, a place specifically meant to cultivate experts for the Great Shang Dynasty!"

"I brought you here because I wish to raise your cultivation realms!"

The seven said, "Your Majesty, we are all Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. A cultivation realm is not something that can be raised merely by wishing it so."

Di Xiao said, "Follow me!"

With that, Di Xiao flashed away, flying toward a grand hall atop one of the sky-piercing colossal peaks.

Seeing Di Xiao fly toward the hall atop the colossal peak, the seven followed after him toward the hall.

After Di Xiao brought the seven to the hall, Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, each of you should choose a secluded chamber and enter seclusion shortly."

"As for the resources you need for cultivation, there is no need for you to worry about them. Simply focus on cultivating in seclusion and breaking through your cultivation realms."

The seven respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

With that, the seven each selected a secluded chamber and entered it.

Di Xiao watched as the seven entered separate secluded chambers.

With a thought and a casual wave of his hand, six storage rings flew toward six of the secluded chambers.

Inside the chamber Yuan Hong had chosen, just as Yuan Hong was about to sit cross-legged, Di Xiao appeared before him.

Yuan Hong jumped in fright when he saw Di Xiao appear out of thin air before him.

Yuan Hong respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, why have you come in?"

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, your situation differs somewhat from that of the other six from Plum Mountain!"

"Therefore, I have decided to personally impart a cultivation technique to you, along with the resources you require."

Yuan Hong's heart jolted, and he said, "Your Majesty?"

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, sit cross-legged at once. I will impart the cultivation technique to you!"

Yuan Hong no longer hesitated and immediately sat cross-legged.

Di Xiao silently called upon the system.

System: "Host!"

Di Xiao said, "Pass the cultivation methods of the Nine Revolutions Origin Art and the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art on to Yuan Hong."

Having spoken, Di Xiao casually raised a finger and touched it to the center of Yuan Hong's brow.

Yuan Hong's face changed drastically at the sight, thinking Di Xiao was about to strike him.

At once, Yuan Hong was about to gather his magic power and resist.

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, do not resist. I am imparting cultivation methods to you."

Yuan Hong said, "Your Majesty, I have my own cultivation method."

"Moreover, this cultivation method suits me exceptionally well."

No sooner had Yuan Hong finished speaking than an incomparably vast torrent of information flooded into his mind.

At once, Yuan Hong sensed that this information was countless times more profound than the cultivation method he had practiced.

After Di Xiao imparted the cultivation methods of the Nine Revolutions Origin Art and the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art to Yuan Hong, he quietly stood to one side.

At this moment, Yuan Hong was utterly stunned by the cultivation methods in his mind.

"Nine Revolutions Origin Art, Nine Revolutions Mystic Art!"

Yuan Hong said in shock, "Your Majesty, legend has it that these two cultivation methods were the primary arts cultivated by the Pangu Demon God."

"The Nine Revolutions Origin Art cultivates the Primordial Spirit, while the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art cultivates the physical body."

"When the Nine Revolutions Origin Art and the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art are combined, they can recreate the terrifying divine might of the Pangu Demon God when he split open the heavens!"

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, do you still think these arts cannot compare to the cultivation method you practiced?"

Yuan Hong said, "Your Majesty, the cultivation method I practiced is countless times inferior to these!"

Di Xiao said, "Naturally!"

Then Di Xiao took out a storage ring and handed it to Yuan Hong.

Di Xiao said, "Yuan Hong, this storage ring contains the resources you need for cultivation!"

"All right, I will not disturb your cultivation any longer!"

After saying that, Di Xiao's figure vanished into thin air.

After Di Xiao left, Yuan Hong sent his Primordial Spirit into the storage ring and saw many incomparably precious cultivation resources.

When Yuan Hong saw a drop of essence blood, he was stunned by the terrifying power contained within it!

"This is...? The essence blood of the Pangu Demon God???"

In an instant, Yuan Hong was utterly shocked.

North Kuru Continent, Myriad Demon Mountain!

After the Witch-Demon Tribulation, Demon Sage Bai Ze led the remaining Demon Sages, along with the Demon Emperor and Demon Kings, to retreat to North Kuru Continent.

At the heart of the Myriad Demon Mountain range stood its tallest peak, where the Demon Sages and the remaining members of the Demon Race had established themselves.

At the summit of Myriad Demon Mountain.

Inside a great hall on Myriad Demon Mountain's main peak.

Six men of vastly different appearances and ages sat in a circle.

A middle-aged man in white said, "Demon Master, has Nine Infants truly perished?"

The middle-aged man in black was none other than Kunpeng, the Demon Master's of the Demon Race.

Kunpeng's expression was grim as he said, "Indeed!"

Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ji Meng, Shang Yang, and Ying Zhao, the five great Demon Sages, hurriedly asked, "Lord Demon Master, who slew Nine Infants?"

Kunpeng shook his head. "I do not know whose hands Nine Infants perished by."

The five great Demon Sages—Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Ji Meng, Shang Yang, and Ying Zhao—said in shock, "What? Even the State Preceptor does not know who slew Nine Infants?"

"What exactly happened, Lord State Preceptor?"

Kunpeng then recounted the battle of the North Sea to the five great Demon Sages.

Bai Ze, Fei Lian, Shang Yang, Ji Meng, and Ying Zhao, the five great Demon Sages, all sucked in a breath of cold air.

They had never expected that Demon Sage Nine Infants had not perished in the Witch-Demon Tribulation.

Yet he had fallen in the battle of the North Sea!
