"Demon Realm, I have returned!"

Having received the nod from Yuanshi Tianzun, Xuanqing’s Ghost Dao avatar returned to Mount Tai, while his original self immersed his consciousness into the Demon Realm.

Within the Demon Pool, Huiyue Demon Lord slowly opened his eyes, glanced at his flawless demon body, and then proceeded to head in the direction of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Reforging the demon body takes quite some time; his incarnation’s current strength was merely of the Daluo Realm, and originally he had no plans of leaving the Demon Pool.

But who made Yuanshi Tianzun, as well as Lady Nuwa, set their sights on the Demon Realm?

The plan to live off the old block, starts!

Whether it be the avatar of Yuanshi Tianzun’s form as the Primordial Heavenly Demon, or Nuwa’s Lifeless Palace guise, both wield a tremendous amount of resources within the Demon Realm.

The two of them need to stir up trouble, naturally, they wouldn’t do so without offering some benefits.

At the very least...

They must help elevate this incarnation’s cultivation to the level of Great Divine Ability.

Before long, he met with the Primordial Heavenly Demon in the Heavenly Demon Palace and saw another Heavenly Demon standing by his side, like a greeting page.

Huiyue Demon Lord nodded slightly: "Greetings to the Primordial Heavenly Demon, greetings to Daoist Heavenly Demon!"

In the Demon Realm, he refrained from addressing anyone as his second uncle; he was merely curious as to why the Primordial Heavenly Demon would retain this old master of the Heavenly Demon lineage.

As if sensing Huiyue Demon Lord’s gaze, the Primordial Heavenly Demon immediately explained: "Heavenly Demon is a disciple I took in the Demon Realm, you can call him Shangchen, also one of my Yuxu Sect’s Dharma veins!"

"So that’s how it is!"

Huiyue Demon Lord immediately nodded: "So, it’s Venerable Shangchen, my apologies!"

Under the Chan Sect, there are twelve Dharma veins, with the Twelve Golden Immortals as their representative figures. Even the Heavenly Emperor has a number of them and the Twelve Golden Immortals consist of thirteen individuals, one of whom being a Great Divine Ability from the Demon Realm – a notion he can accept.

The Primordial Heavenly Demon continued: "Actually, your teacher also established a Dharma vein within the Demon Realm, taking in a Sword Demon with the Daoist name Shangchen! Few of you direct disciples have decent cultivations but none has fully inherited his Sword Dao mantle."

"Shangchen?"

Huiyue Demon Lord was taken aback upon hearing this.

He had not expected that the Tongtian Sect Master had taken another direct disciple in the Demon Realm.

"Shangchen, Xuanqing, Jin Ling, Duobao, corresponding well with the name ’Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasures’, but indeed none of us delve deep into Sword Dao."

Xuanqing mainly cultivates the Refining Dao, and hasn’t fully learned the "Nine Swords of Severing Heaven" from Tongtian Sect Master. Jin Ling Holy Mother follows the path of the Four Symbols and Yin Yang returning to Tai Chi which also encompasses Sword Dao, but her level is akin to Xuanqing’s.

Daoist Duobao knows slightly more than the two, capable of setting up the "Slaying Immortal Sword Formation," but not enough to inherit the Sword Dao mantle of the Tongtian Sect Master.

As for Wudang Holy Mother and Gui Ling Holy Mother, one is endorsed by Lady Nuwa, the other had gifted the North Sea Mysterious Turtle with four legs to mend the sky before being accepted as a direct disciple by Tongtian Sect Master.

"Sword Demon? Shangchen?"

Huiyue Demon Lord said with a smile: "If there’s a chance, I’d like to meet this younger sect brother!"

His original self, along with Duobao and Jin Ling, were not sufficient to inherit the Sword Dao mantle of the Tongtian Sect Master. It was logical for him to accept another disciple.

"I request the Primordial Heavenly Demon to assist me in my cultivation!"

Huiyue Demon Lord slowly spoke; he mastered the Swallowing Great Dao and the World Purification Great Dao, and with sufficient resources, elevating his cultivation was naturally a matter of course.

"Agreed!"

The Primordial Heavenly Demon nodded, throwing him into a place called "Heavenly Demon Abyss," used to suppress a multitude of demons.

But for Huiyue Demon Lord, these suppressed demons were the best cultivation resources!

"Devour!"

With the help of the Swallowing Great Dao and the World Purification Great Dao, in less than ten thousand years, he elevated his cultivation to the early stages of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

Afterward, he bid farewell to the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

Having mooched off the Primordial Heavenly Demon already, he couldn’t neglect the Lifeless Mother either!

However, before meeting the Lifeless Mother, he was startled by the voice of the Mysterious Fairy: "Huiyue Demon Lord, why have you come to the Lifeless Palace?"

Inside the Lifeless Palace, which is inhabited mostly by female demon cultivators, they all looked unfavorably at Huiyue Demon Lord upon hearing Mysterious Fairy’s voice.

Huiyue Demon Lord expressed speechlessly: "Mysterious Fairy... no, Daoist Mysterious Fairy, I am here to visit the Lifeless Mother; why must you react so startled?"

Saying this, he walked into the Lifeless Palace under the awe-struck gaze of the crowd, feeling grateful that Nuwa hadn’t leaked his shady history.

"Paying respects to the Lifeless Mother!"

Huiyue Demon Lord bowed slightly: "All is ready, except for the opportune east wind. It’s just that my cultivation is somewhat lacking; I seek assistance from the Lifeless Mother for cultivation!"

"Granted!"

The Lifeless Mother nodded, with a Creation Divine Light and a Reincarnation Divine Light flying straight out in the blink of an eye, continuously strengthening Huiyue Demon Lord’s physical body.

Immediately afterward, a stream of Innate Ancestor Qi and Taiyin Origin merged into Huiyue Demon Lord’s physical body, rapidly amplifying his Demonic Origin.

Boom!

Huiyue Demon Lord then ran the "Lifeless Mother Sutra of Salvation from Calamity" alongside the Swallowing Great Dao and the World Purification Great Dao, devouring all the mighty Demonic Qi nearby in the Lifeless Palace.

His cultivation surged to the mid-levels of a Primordial Golden Immortal, but due to the destiny of the Demon Path, he couldn’t continue to elevate further!

The tactics of Saints are unfathomable. Elevating him to the Perfection of a Primordial Golden Immortal wasn’t a problem, but the will of the Demon Realm wouldn’t allow such actions.

The Demon Path encourages slaughter.

Hence, within the Demon Realm, one must acquire the fortune of the Demon Path to elevate one’s cultivation, which further leads to strife among many Great Divine Powers of the Demon Realm.

Huiyue Demon Lord possessed the fortune of the Heart Demon lineage, and after dividing the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance, it had significantly increased, but to elevate to late-stage Primordial still fell short, something the Demon Realm’s will would not permit.

However, the recent intervention by the Lifeless Mother made him aware that behind the generic guise, aside from Lady Nuwa and The Queen Mother of the West, another was Lady Houtu, as well as the Great Divine Ability, Taiyuan Saint Mother.

In the last Heavenly Court’s Dao debate, Taiyuan Saint Mother also participated, even creating the Ancestor Immortal System within the Primordial Nine Immortal System.

He naturally remembered her aura.

Nevertheless, he didn’t expose her but rather said: "Primordial Heavenly Demon, Demon Buddha Bhusunda, Daoist of Blood River, and many Great Divine Powers are eyeing the Demon World Origin, can the Lifeless Mother cope with it?"

"I am already aware!"

The Lifeless Matriarch gave a nod, "You just need to lure out the will of the Demon Realm for me!"

"Then please, Matriarch, watch carefully!"

Huiyue Demon Lord did not linger long in the Lifeless Palace. After giving a slight nod, he transformed into a beam of demon light and fled toward the Blood Demon Palace.

This matter was fraught with risk; the more allies that could be rallied, the better.

Before long, he met with the Blood River Daoist!

The Blood River Daoist was extremely enthusiastic: "Daoist, you’ve finally arrived! However, I’m not certain if your true self could temporarily lend the Earth-breaking Chisel?"

Huiyue Demon Lord couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly: "Blood River Daoist, as you know, my true self’s situation currently makes it impossible to lend out the Earth-breaking Chisel!"

"Could it be that..."

"Do you have a way to enter the Undying Volcano or to break the Heavenly Dao’s seal?"

The Blood River Daoist laid his cards on the table: "I can’t do it, but Liang Demon Daoist has a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure called the Universe Escape World Boat in his hands. It fears no prohibitions, allowing free travel between the Demon Realm and the Primordial World! Even the seals and restrictions set by the Heavenly Dao cannot stop it!"

"This magic treasure, perhaps cannot free your true self, but if you are willing, the Universe Escape World Boat could indeed transport the Earth-breaking Chisel into the Demon Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Huiyue Demon Lord flatly refused: "That is absolutely impossible! Can you, Daoist, entrust the Yuan Tu and Avici Swords to me with confidence?"

"No!"

Huiyue Demon Lord continued, "However, I have a better plan. The question is, does Blood River Daoist dare to take a gamble with me?"

"What plan?"

The Blood River Daoist was immediately intrigued.

Huiyue Demon Lord thereupon revealed with a smile: "In the Immortal Dao, there are the Three Teachings of the Xuan Sect; in the Demon Path, there are the Twelve Demon Veins, but there is no establishment of a teaching with Great Divine Power. I intend to use the establishment of such a teaching as a chance to draw out the will of the Demon Realm, then eradicate it, and re-establish the hierarchy within the Demon Realm. Would you be interested, Daoist?"

Before the Blood River Daoist could reply, Huiyue Demon Lord went on: "In fact, several Saints have been scheming this in the shadows!"

"What?"

The Blood River Daoist was taken aback, then quickly asked: "Which teaching does Daoist plan to establish?"

If it were someone else, the Blood River Daoist might not believe these words, but Huiyue Demon Lord’s true self was closely connected with several Saints.

He had no choice but to believe.

"The Jie Sect!"

Huiyue Demon Lord immediately burst out laughing.

However, the Blood River Daoist couldn’t help but furrow his brows: "The Jie Sect? Isn’t that the way of Saint Tongtian? You’re not joking with me, are you?"

"No, no, no!"

Huiyue Demon Lord quickly explained: "This ’Jie’ is not that ’Jie’; it’s the ’Jie’ from Jie Demon, meaning unbridled and defiant. The Demon Path should indeed be unbridled and defiant!"

"Jie, Jie, Jie!"

Huiyue Demon Lord let out a demonically charged laugh: "When the time comes, I shall be the main sect hierarch, but I wonder if Blood River Daoist dares to be the vice hierarch?"

"Why would I not dare?"

The Blood River Daoist immediately agreed; establishing a sect was nothing new to his true self, and as long as it wasn’t establishing the Jie Sect, he could bear the karmic consequences.

He looked at Huiyue Demon Lord and asked: "I just don’t know what Daoist plans to use to suppress the fortunes of the Jie Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Huiyue Demon Lord immediately laughed and said: "Since it is the Jie Sect, what could be more fitting to suppress its fortune than that Jie Demon?"

"Ah?"

The Blood River Daoist was somewhat incredulous.

Using the Jie Demon to suppress?

Within the Demon Realm, though Huiyue Demon Lord did not have a single Innate Spiritual Treasure, Jie Demon, being a Primordial Golden Immortal, was nonetheless capable of forging a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Before long, Huiyue Demon Lord and Blood River Daoist made their way to the lair of Jie Demon, accompanied by the hastily arrived Demon Buddha Bhusunda.

Although the true self of Xuanqing had informed Jieyin Daoist of the method to refine Innate Spiritual Treasures, Demon Buddha Bhusunda was still eager to witness the process of their creation.

Boom!

The three struck simultaneously, the Blood River Daoist’s Blood River pierced through myriads of miles of the Vault of Heaven, the "Mother-child Creation Divine Light" from Huiyue Demon Lord instantly struck Jie Demon, while Demon Buddha Bhusunda cooperated with the two, securely restraining the opponent’s Primordial Spirit.

Even though Demon Buddha Bhusunda was just Jieyin Daoist’s Evil Corpse, he could employ some of the Saints’ techniques, leaving Jie Demon powerless in Bhusunda’s hands.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of many great practitioners of the Demon Realm, yet seeing Jie Demon in trouble, none of them intended to lend a hand.

There was a simple reason!

The combined force of the three, Huiyue Demon Lord and his allies, was mighty, and besides, the Demon Realm itself valued the law of the jungle; risking oneself for Jie Demon was clearly not in their own interest.

"Refine!"

Huiyue Demon Lord took out a pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a large portion of which he had collected, with the rest sponsored by the Primordial Heavenly Demon and the Lifeless Matriarch.

Boom!

The void shook violently, and under Huiyue Demon Lord’s manipulation, the many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Demon Realm instantly condensed in the "Destruction Demon Fire" into a treasure cauldron.

Then, with Demon Buddha Bhusunda’s assistance, Jie Demon’s Primordial Spirit was instantly merged into the treasure cauldron. The Innate Undying Spirit Light contained within his Primordial Spirit immediately transformed the cauldron towards a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"It really can be done!"

Demon Buddha Bhusunda no longer harbored doubts.

Blood Demon Daoist, on the other hand, his eyes glittering, seemed to behold a new path.

Establishing "Jie Sect" was not the goal; it was but an opportunity for the great practitioners of the Demon Realm to see that other cultivators of the Demon Realm could be used to refine Innate Spiritual Treasures, triggering turmoil in the Demon Realm. That was the true aim of Huiyue Demon Lord.

In just a moment, the treasure cauldron fully transformed into a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Huiyue Demon Lord immediately laughed satisfactorily, "This treasure shall henceforth be known as the Demon Refining Cauldron! From this day on, this shall be the fortune-suppressing treasure of my Jie Sect!"

He glanced at Blood River Daoist and declared: "The Demon Path is the way of the untamed! Today, along with Blood River Daoist, I wish to establish the Jie Sect, to widely spread the Heart Demon Great Dao and the Blood Demon Great Dao! From this day forth, I shall be the hierarch of Jie Sect, and Blood River Daoist shall be the vice hierarch!"

"Jie Sect shall use the Demon Refining Cauldron to suppress its fortunes, refining myriad demons, achieving the Infinite Demon Path!"

"May the Great Dao bear witness!"
