Truth and Falsehood Intertwined: The Fishing Was Real, and So Was the Tempering!
At the Purple Firmament Peak, the thunder disappeared.
Shi Jian sat upright above the Thunder Pool, his purple and white robes fluttering even without wind.
The two Golden Core Demon General, Shi Pan Shi Yin, stood below, their expressions respectful.
"Ancestor," Shi Pan, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
Shi Jian's gaze swept over the two bears. "Issue my decree, summoning all level two and above Demon Beast of the five bear lineages to assemble at the foot of Purple Firmament Peak."
"Yes, sir."
Without asking any further questions, Shi Pan turned around and let out a deafening roar.
The roar swept across the surrounding mountains, instantly spreading throughout the core of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.
In less than half an hour.
Below Purple Firmament Peak, a dark mass of people.
More than a hundred enormous bears gathered here, clearly distinguishing themselves into five distinct lineages: Lightning Bear, Boulder, Frost and Snow, Dark Gold, and Primal Bear.
There are more than 170 great demons ranging from level two to level four.
Shi Jian flashed and appeared in the void.
The Nascent Soul Soul's aura was only slightly revealed, yet the bears below immediately knelt down, not daring to breathe, and worshipped this progenitor.
"You've lived a very comfortable life for the past few decades."
Shi Jian's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every bear demon.
"The core mountain range is rich in Spiritual Qi. There is no fighting, no contention."
"Those outer tribes fought tooth and nail over a few Spirit Plant; but what about you? You just lie there sleeping soundly on the Spirit Vein."
"Lacking ambition and drive."
"Over the years, apart from Shi Mo, the ancestor of the Dark Gold Line, who dared to take that step and forcefully prove his Golden Core..."
"To this day, I have not seen another person who would dare to risk their life to seek proof!"
"Are there no Foundation Establishment demons in any of the lineages who have reached the peak of the fourth level? They're all cowardly and afraid of death, enjoying my protection and calling themselves royalty."
"You have truly disappointed me!"
Upon hearing this, the bears below fell silent, trembling with fear.
Shi Pan and Shi Yin exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
The patriarch has always been considerate of his relatives and loved all the tribesmen. These words, spoken with great emphasis, clearly indicate a serious internal reorganization is underway.
"The Demon Race is born to fight."
Shi Jian's gaze was cold. "Comfort will only dull your claws and dull your fighting spirit, leaving you timid and incompetent."
He raised his right hand, and a wisp of azure lightning danced at his fingertips.
The wild, destructive aura instantly drew the attention of all the Lightning Bear.
"This is the Dao of Lightning Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic."
Shi Jian threw out the bait, "Don't you want it?"
Below, dozens of Lightning Bear had greed and fervor in their eyes. If they could obtain this Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic, it would be the key to the path to the Golden Core!
"Not only the Lightning Bear Line."
Shi Jian withdrew his lightning and surveyed the entire arena.
"Today, I issue the ' Hunter Decree '!"
"All demons belonging to the five branches of the Bear Clan, from level two to four, are hereby ordered to leave the Myriad Demon Domain and cease their plundering of the four Human Race kingdoms."
"One-year term."
"Within one year, every bear must bring me back at least one head of Human Race cultivator of the same cultivation level!"
These words caused an uproar among the bears.
Go to Human Race territory to kill people?
The more you kill, the bigger the reward.
Ignoring the commotion below, Shi Jian continued to announce the rules.
"Bring back a head of someone of the same rank, and you'll be rewarded with a third-rank spirit herb."
"Bring back ten, and you'll be rewarded with a sacred mountain; you may then establish your own branch!"
"As for the Lightning Bear Line..."
Shi Jian paused, his gaze sweeping over the peak-level fourth-tier Lightning Bear demons.
"One year from now, whoever brings back the most heads will possess this wisp of ' Azure Lightning Fierce Profound Qi,' and will become the new successor of my Lightning Bear Tribe!"
Boom!
The Lightning Bear Line was in complete uproar.
A mere Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic is enough to make them risk their lives.
"Ancestor!"
A rock bear at the peak of level four mustered its courage and spoke up, "The Human Race territory is guarded by Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators. If we go there, wouldn't we be sending ourselves to our deaths?"
Shi Jian glanced at him.
"I don't care where you go to kill."
"You can choose any territory you like: Profound Truth Kingdom, Clear Blue Kingdom, or even the territory of the Grand Purity Sect."
"As for the Golden Core and Nascent Soul of the Human Race..."
Shi Jian sneered.
"Shi Pan, Shi Yin."
"Present!" Two Golden Core Demon General forward.
"You can provide covert protection. If any Human Race at the Golden Core or above dare to make a move, kill them directly without hesitation!"
"If it's just a battle between people of the same level, and you die at the hands of Human Race, then you're just useless."
Shi Jian stared at the group of bears below.
"Our Bear Clan has no need for useless people."
"Did you understand?"
"Roar!"
More than a hundred Foundation Establishment Bear Demons roared in unison, their fighting spirit soaring into the Yunxiao.
"Human Race!"
"Grab resources!"
"A stunner!"
The Demon Race's bloodthirsty instincts were ignited by Shi Jian's words, and they were all eager and impatient to fight!
"Go."
Shi Jian waved his sleeve.
More than a hundred high-level bear demons, like ferocious beasts released from their sluice gates, transformed into a surging torrent, rushing out of the Myriad Demon Domain and scattering towards the Human Race territories in all directions.
Shi Pan grinned as he watched this scene.
"Ancestor, the four Human Race kingdoms are likely to be in turmoil."
Shi Jian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"For tens of millions of years, Human Race has treated us as materials for alchemy and weapon crafting."
"Now, the roles have reversed."
"Send a message to Kuang Dou, Bi Luo, Golden Crocodile, and Wanxiang: those from the outer clans who have the courage may also participate in this order."
"I will make the entire Profound Spirit Continent tremble at the mere mention of the name of the Demon Race, letting them know that this is the age of demons!"
Shi Pan accepted the order and left.
Shi Yin, surrounded by a chilling aura, asked in a low voice:
"Ancestor, will the Grand Purity Sect take this opportunity to launch an attack?"
"Start an attack?"
Shi Jian scoffed, "Things are not what they used to be. The Supreme Purity Sect is now in decline, and Old Ghost Purple Yang's lifespan is almost over."
"The remaining six True Lord are Tongming, Yuanshang, Fang Yi, Ziyan, Mingyuan, and Hanyuan. Among them, only Fang Yi and Yuanshang are at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and Yuanshang still recovering from his serious injuries."
"His Supreme Purity Sect may seem like a starved camel, bigger than a horse, but in reality, it has very few capable fighters..."
"You worry Supreme Purity the Shangqing will Supreme Purity won't. If we can really catch one or two big fish this way, the Heavenly Ape and Flood Dragon domains will then join forces with us!"
"Fishing is real, training is real, it's all a matter of truth and falsehood; let's see if Supreme Purity Qing has the guts to take the bait."
Shi Jian sneered. The moment the three Demon King of the three realms shared human blood and placed it on the dining table, the three families had already reached a tacit agreement on how to divide the blood among themselves.
Now, the competition between humans and transgender people is about which side will reach an agreement first.
Clearly, it was their Demon Race race that first unified their forces, thus seizing the initiative and forcing the Human Race to make a move!
One step ahead leads to continuous progress.
Human Race must either reach a consensus, or they will be slowly bled dry by the Demon Race, eventually becoming a dish on their dinner table.
