"Kunpeng?"

Bai Ze was stunned upon hearing that: "Wa Emperor... could it be you intend to give the Evil Summoning Banner to Kunpeng?"

"That’s right!"

Fu Xi nodded: "Emperor Jun and Taiyi have fallen, and I am no longer the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan. Nuwa, as a Heavenly Daos Saint, is not suitable to intervene in Primordial affairs, so who else is more suitable to lead the Demon Clan than Kunpeng?"

At the founding of the Demon Clan, there were four Demon Emperors and ten Demon Saints, and because of the creation of the Demon Text, Emperor Jun intentionally granted Kunpeng the title of Demon Teacher.

The Demon Clan’s survival until now owes much to the Demon Text, and without Kunpeng integrating the Demon Text into the demon bloodline, the Demon Clan might have scattered long ago!

You must know, there was initially no Demon Clan in the world. It was Emperor Jun who forcibly merged various races to create the huge entity known as the Demon Clan.

After Emperor Jun’s fall, it was Kunpeng’s creation, the Demon Text, that kept the different tribes connected; they couldn’t deny it even if they wanted to.

After all...

As long as one awakens their intellect and bloodline, they can inherit the corresponding Demon Clan legacy.

"I understand!"

Bai Ze’s interest waned a bit. During the times of the Demon Clan, he and Kunpeng did not get along. Moreover, if it weren’t for Kunpeng’s stealing of the River Map and Luo Book, Emperor Jun might not have fallen.

Therefore, his feelings towards Kunpeng were complex, grateful for Kunpeng’s creation of the Demon Text, yet also deeply pained by Kunpeng’s betrayal of Emperor Jun back then.

"A loss is a loss!"

Fu Xi understood Bai Ze’s feelings and immediately consoled him: "You and Shangyang are both Innate Sacred born from Primordial Heaven and Earth. Freed from the shackles of the Demon Clan, you may go even further in the future! This is also a good thing for Daoist friends! Daoists, return to where you came from!"

"I know when Emperor Jun commanded to forge the Sorcerer Slayer Sword with the souls of the Human Race, you and Shang Yang both opposed it!"

"Neither of you have stained yourselves with the blood of the Human Race; the Human Race will not trouble you in the future, you both can be at ease and free!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze shook his head: "Where can I go now? Since you are going to meet Kunpeng, take me with you as well!"

"I feel the same!"

Shangyang also quickly spoke in agreement.

"Alas!"

Fu Xi let out a light sigh: "My Daoist friends, why torture yourselves like this?"

"The Demon Clan should not perish like this!"

Bai Ze asserted firmly: "Although I used to have disagreements with Kunpeng, it was just that we had different visions for the Demon Clan’s future!"

"Now, since it’s proven that Kunpeng’s way is correct, of course, I will follow this path. How can the Demon Clan be without a Demon Minister?"

As an elder of the Demon Clan, he couldn’t bear to see the Demon Clan perish, and if Kunpeng was reliable, he wouldn’t mind leading the clan to join Kunpeng.

Only a true Saint can enable the Demon Clan to withstand the covetousness of other forces.

Hearing this, Fu Xi did not continue persuading. He knew that Bai Ze’s emotional investment in the Demon Clan was not something he and Nuwa could compare to!

Before long, Fu Xi brought Bai Ze and Shangyang to the land of Beiming, where Xuanqing and Kunpeng were still continuing their game.

Fu Xi did not hesitate and directly handed over the "Evil Summoning Banner" and the "Seven Heavenly Bright Divine Sabers" to Kunpeng: "I plan to use these two Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in exchange for the River Map and Luo Book. What does Daoist think?"

"Evil Summoning Banner?"

Kunpeng was also stunned upon seeing the items before him: "Fu Xi Daoist, are you sure you want to use the Evil Summoning Banner in exchange for the Spiritual Treasure I hold?"

"Confirmed!"

Fu Xi immediately nodded: "The Demon Teacher should be in charge of the Evil Summoning Banner. However, I have taken the liberty of returning the True Spirits of Daoists Bai Ze and Shangyang to them. I hope Daoist Kunpeng won’t mind!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze spoke up: "I wonder if Daoist Kunpeng still acknowledges the identity of Demon Teacher? Do you still consider yourself a part of the Demon Clan? If so, Shangyang and I are willing to follow your lead!"

"Of course, I acknowledge!"

Kunpeng immediately smiled: "I am a Human Dao Saint, and the Demon Clan is part of the Human Dao. If the Demon Clan wishes to acknowledge my status as Demon Teacher, then I will always be the Demon Teacher, always a part of the Demon Clan!"

"Bai Ze, paying respects to the Demon Teacher!"

"Shang Yang, pay your respects to the Demon Master!"

Bai Ze and Shang Yang, upon hearing this, exchanged a glance and then proceeded to kneel halfway before Kunpeng in salute, effectively acknowledging him as the new lord of the Demon Clan.

"What are you two Daoist friends doing?"

Seeing this, Kunpeng rose to help them up and laughed heartily: "If the Demon Clan is to flourish, I shall need the cooperation and concerted efforts of both distinguished Daoists! Having the support of you two is like a fish finding water!"

"You simply must not make such grand gestures!"

He hadn’t expected that Bai Ze and Shang Yang, who had always been at odds with him, would willingly become his vassals for the sake of the Demon Clan’s continuity.

What followed was great joy. Bai Ze possessed astounding wisdom and Shang Yang’s strength was exceptional. If he could gain the assistance of these two, combined with the "Evil Summoning Banner," he could completely command the entire Demon Clan.

The key to the cultivation of Human Dao Saints is destiny. Other races could not provide much destiny for him; the bulk still had to come from the Demon Clan.

Fu Xi truly sent him a great gift!

Of course, he also believed that within this, there was goodwill from Nuwa, hoping he would fully support Fu Xi to become the Human Dao Saint.

As for Xuanqing, who was enjoying the spectacle from the sidelines, he looked at Fu Xi and chuckled: "Among the peaks on the Dao’s end, one sees Fu Xi’s path turn to void! Daoist Fu Xi, had you spoken up earlier, with the assistance of Lady Nuwa, perhaps you would have been the first to become the Human Dao Saint!"

Fu Xi’s qualifications were not inferior to Kunpeng’s: he was the Emperor of the Demon Clan, the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race, the Eastern Green Emperor of the Heavenly Court, and had a master-disciple karmic tie with Taiching of Jie Sect; he had good relations with the Dragon Clan, especially with the position of the Human Race’s Heavenly Emperor. Currently, the Human Race is the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, capable of obtaining destiny that the Demon Clan cannot compare with.

Had it not been for a tiny bit of missed opportunity, he might have become the Human Dao Saint even earlier than Kunpeng!

Hearing the words, Fu Xi immediately showed a look of embarrassment and retorted: "That’s my sister... Can the affairs between siblings be considered such?"

Then came some difficult words, something about "branches of the same root," something about "mutual support," something about "the first achieving Dao inspiring those after," which made everyone burst into laughter, filling the hall of the Demon Master with joviality.

In the end, it was only after Fu Xi gave them a fierce glare that Xuanqing, Kunpeng, Bai Ze, and Shang Yang stopped teasing him.

Eating one’s sister, no shame!

Even if they wanted to do the same, they’d have to have a sister who had achieved Saint Dao Fruit!

After the joking, watching Fu Xi with the "River Map" and "Lo Shu" preparing to suppress the Returning Ruins Sea Eye, Xuanqing immediately wore a serious expression, and slowly said: "Daoist Fu Xi, there might be some obstacles ahead, it would be best if you invite several Great Divine Ability wielders to join you in suppressing the Returning Ruins!"

Xuanqing, with the insights from Destiny Dao across the endless timelines, sensed a foreboding future; the Returning Ruins were not so easily subdued.

"Obstacles...?"

Upon these words, Fu Xi immediately furrowed his brows, knowing that although Xuanqing might sometimes be unserious, he would definitely not joke about such matters.

Bai Ze and Shang Yang immediately volunteered: "Daoist Fu Xi, we owe you a favor; let us offer you our support!"

Fu Xi removed their True Spirits from the "Evil Summoning Banner" and returned it to them, considering it a major karmic cause, for which they naturally sought to repay.

"Good!"

Fu Xi did not refuse.

To be safe, after leaving Beiming, he went to find Shennong, Xuanyuan, Shaohao, and others, and even to Golden Turtle Island to find disciples of the Jie Sect.

Below the level of Saints, he believed that he could handle dozens of Great Divine Ability wielders, and for anything above that level, it would require the intervention of Xuanqing and Kunpeng.

He sought help from the Jie Sect disciples because he wanted to bind Xuanqing to his chariot.

Of course, if the Returning Ruins Sea Eye could be restored and the Water Element Great Dao could return to its original state, then those Jie Sect disciples could also gain considerable merit.

Therefore, when asking for Daoist Duobao’s help, he made clear the pros and cons, indicating that it might attract the opposition of the Heavenly Dao and Earth Dao.

"No worries!"

Daoist Duobao was brimming with confidence: "Without the Saints intervening, who else can trouble us?"

Nowadays, he had already severed his Three Corpses, and although he had not yet united the Three Corpses, his Physical Body was not inferior to that of those Saints.

After all...

His true form was the Treasure Dividing Rock, which, after absorbing endless Innate Treasure Qi, had been refined again with the help of Xuanqing’s "Refining Dao Furnace."

Though he was not a Saint nor a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, and his Three Corpses had not yet united, he could be considered as having achieved a Physical Body of Saint!

Below the Saints, he had few adversaries!
