Chapter 575: Chapter 573: Taking Over (At the beginning of the month, asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket!!) _1

"About Green Emperor Mountain?"

Fang Xi, with his hands clasped behind his back, said, "What do you know?"

"Demon Lord Chi Lian only heard it mentioned by an ancient Demon Lord..."

Demon Lord Chi Lian replied cautiously, "Back then, when a cultivator from Green Emperor Mountain descended to the Mortal World, transfigured into a Transcendent God, and stormed into the Demon Realm, many renowned old demons were slaughtered..."

"Is that all?"

Fang Xi was clearly disappointed, feeling that this female Demon Lord was useless!

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "Submit... or die?"

Having weighed the pros and cons, Demon Lord Chi Lian suddenly let out a bitter smile, "Your servant submits..."

Now at the mercy of others and not wanting to die, the only option was submission, after all, she was incapable of ascending on her own.

Crack!

Fang Xi touched his Storage Ring and tossed a pitch-black ring over.

This ring, the size of a plate, was intricately engraved with numerous delicate Spirit Talismans, emanating a profound aura.

"Demon Banishing Ring?"

Demon Lord Chi Lian’s eyelid twitched, well aware of the ring’s origin.

It was specially forged by The Nine States to imprison Demon Qi and to detain members of the Ancient Demon Tribe.

During the great war, many Nascent Soul Demon Clan members, once trapped by this ring, lost their ability to use their Divine Skills and could only be captured and sent to research institutes for dissection and various experiments...

But to think a mere Demon Banishing Ring could confine a Transcendent God Demon Lord was just a dream!

This was humiliation!

Demon Lord Chi Lian’s hand trembled, and she almost wanted to erupt in battle, to die with honor.

But facing Fang Xi’s calm eyes, she immediately put on a charming smile and actively opened the Demon Banishing Ring, placing it on her fair and delicate neck.

Along with her exquisite and delicate red armor, she exuded a unique charm.

"Good! You are very aware of the times... I won’t keep you bound forever; if you serve well, I might take you with me when I ascend," Fang Xi said.

Whether it was ascending on one’s own or smuggling through an Ascension Platform, beings below Transcendent God could hardly be taken to the Earth Immortal Realm. They would be crushed into pulp by the power of the Void, such was the power of Lower Realm rules!

Only Spiritual Pets protected by the aura of a cultivator who had signed a Master-Servant Contract with them had a slim chance of possible ascension.

However, Chi Lian was different; as she was already at the Transcendent God stage, she would certainly be able to ascend together with him.

Hearing this, Demon Lord Chi Lian licked her lips and chuckled coquettishly, "Then, in the future, please cherish Chi Lian... Master!"

This "Master" came with a sweet, nasal sound that stirred Fang Xi, prompting him to infuse her with various Prohibitions and forcibly seize a portion of her demon soul.

Wearing the ’Demon Banishing Ring’ was only a test of obedience, and promising the Earth Immortal Realm was to give her a glimmer of hope, to prevent a desperate backlash.

Once confirmed of her submission, all kinds of Prohibition techniques must be thoroughly applied.

After all, she was a Transcendent God Demon Lord!

"Ah..."

Demon Lord Chi Lian cried out again and again, which then turned into moans...

After a long time, Fang Xi collected a portion of Demon Lord Chi Lian’s demon soul in a golden bowl and placed it into his Storage Ring.

"So many Prohibition techniques, involving the secret skills of Humans, Demons, and various tribes... Master, you do value Chi Lian highly," Chi Lian said with a hint of sadness.

She originally had some plans, but with so many Prohibitions seeded within her, many of which she could not secretly undo, she knew she had to follow Fang Xi faithfully from now on.

"Enough chit-chat... What else would you like to say about the ’Supreme Heavenly Sovereign’s True Demon Art of Controlling All Spirits’?" Fang Xi asked indifferently, standing with his hands behind his back.

"This cultivation technique originates from the Earth Immortal Realm. Your servant indeed only mastered it up to Perfect Transcendent God. When I taught it before, I withheld some Secret Skills and traps. Please forgive me, Master..." Chi Lian said submissively, as she completed the imprint on a jade slip and offered it with both hands.

Fang Xi accepted it, with his Divine Consciousness sweeping through it, he was fairly satisfied, "You’re wise enough..."

He had already made modifications to the cultivation technique, and now he could tell that Demon Lord Chi Lian hadn’t played tricks.

Fang Xi then called over the Patrol Sky Warship and collected the corpse of Demon Lord Huo Qiong. As for the Storage Ring, he naturally accepted it but was disappointed not to find a fifth-tier Spirit Communicating Treasure, cursing inwardly about the poverty before looking back at Demon Lord Chi Lian.

"Master... this is all I have," Chi Lian said pitifully, handing over a ring set with a blood-red ruby.

"No Spirit Communicating Treasures either?" Fang Xi scanned through the contents of the ring and did not see any fifth-tier treasures among the top-grade Demon Path materials.

"How rare are Spirit Communicating Treasures?" Chi Lian said looking even more aggrieved, "Among us, only Ao Kun and that last person who arrived had them..."

’So that old Heavenly Phoenix who came with a fifth-tier flag bearing Spirit Communicating Treasures was considered wealthy among Transcendent God cultivators?’

Fang Xi thought to himself after hearing that, feeling a bit frustrated, but still, he took Demon Lord Chi Lian and returned to The Nine States together.

As for those lower-class Demon Clan members?

They couldn’t leave this place for too far in such a short time, and by now, he’d already called for the Sky Palace to clean up...

...

In the Dongfu,

The Heterodox Nascent Soul held a test tube in hand and suddenly, with a look of intent, walked out of the underground laboratory.

In the living room, Fang Xi was lying on the couch, watching TV.

And a female Demon Lord wearing crimson armor, revealing large expanses of snow-white skin and a delicate beauty that was almost inconceivable, was curiously examining everything in the living room.

Upon seeing the Heterodox Nascent Soul, Demon Lord Chi Lian smiled, "You’re the one who sacrificed me back then, right? Indeed, the second Nascent Soul..."

The Heterodox Nascent Soul’s face remained cold as he looked towards Fang Xi.

"This is an acquaintance, Demon Lord Chi Lian, from now on she will follow you."

Fang Xi nonchalantly made arrangements, then turned to Demon Lord Chi Lian, "My second Nascent Soul is of shallow strength, I’ll need to trouble you to lend a hand..."

"Master, rest assured..." Demon Lord Chi Lian chuckled, "Your second Nascent Soul has no bottleneck in advancing to the early stages of Transcendent God, with Chi Lian’s assistance in dual cultivation, it might not take long to advance to the late stages of Nascent Soul, and reaching Transcendent God in the future is not difficult..."

The secret skill of using dual cultivation to enhance cultivation originated from the Demon Cultivators, and the Ancient Demon Tribe was the source of Demon Cultivation, so Chi Lian was quite experienced in this regard.

Moreover, since the main body was already at the early stage of Transcendent God, thus the Heterodox Nascent Soul had no bottlenecks in advancing to Transcendent God.

"What are you thinking about?"

Fang Xi blinked, "I just think that you can also use pure Demon Qi every day to infuse my second Nascent Soul, which can likewise make its cultivation soar."

"Infusing with pure Demon Qi could damage my own cultivation..."

Demon Lord Chi Lian blinked, bewitching in every move she made.

Clearly, after recognizing her status, she had begun to use various small tactics to improve her sense of security.

"Fine, have it your way..."

Fang Xi entered the wardrobe and transformed into the appearance of ’Zhang Huohua,’ then began to dress.

It couldn’t be helped... He was just about to take over as Fang Immortal Taoist Master and broadcast to the entire Nine States.

No one recognized him with his own face.

And since the second Nascent Soul’s cultivation was not enough, the main body had to appear this once.

...

"We interrupt with breaking news!"

Jing Yi contemplated as the game suddenly disconnected from the internet, followed by a news window popping up.

The last time such a big event happened was when Fang Immortal Taoist Master ended the Moon Demon Calamity.

And now, although there were Demon Lords who had escaped, they were no longer a threat to the Nine States, and the reconstruction activities in the Nine States had been completed, with the previously desolate areas all turned into human paradises.

Why was there such urgent news all of a sudden?

At that moment, not only Jing Yi but countless cultivators, martial artists... in the Nine States put down their work and stared unblinkingly at the screen.

"In accordance with the command of the previous Taoist Master... All Yuan Ying True Monarchs in the Nine States have voted... Today we elect the new Fang Immortal Taoist Master... Now, let us welcome Zhang Huohua to the stage with warm applause!"

In the live broadcast, Master Bai Mei spoke with a serious tone.

"Who?"

"Zhang Huohua?"

"Didn’t he just become the head of the Enforcement Hall? How did he skip over the three Great Cultivators and become the Fang Immortal Taoist Master so suddenly?"

Jing Yi gradually opened his mouth wide in shock.

Meanwhile, on the screen, a video left by the previous Fang Immortal Taoist Master was displayed.

The statement ’The first to become Transcendent God shall be the Fang Immortal Taoist Master’ added another layer of legitimacy to Fang Xi.

In another screen, Zhang Huohua’s holographic projection was shown, along with a stream of captions emerging.

"Zhang Huohua has successfully transcended to Transcendent God recently!"

Jing Yi watched the captions and thought about his own initial Core Formation cultivation, feeling the world had gone mad.

But soon, he understood, "Theoretically speaking, the head of the Enforcement Hall is parallel to the three Great Hall Masters, indeed one of the most powerful... Following the command of the previous master, the head of the Enforcement Hall is the first to transcend, so taking over as the Fang Immortal Taoist Master is indisputable... After all, the three Great Hall Masters are submissive."

However, Jing Yi didn’t know why, but he still felt uncomfortable.

If it had been Bai Mei, Ghost Axe, or Demon Exterminator ascending to the position, he could have accepted it happily, but it had to be Zhang Huohua!

And at that moment, Fang Xi, dressed in formal attire, stood before the microphone, "Everyone... I shall inherit the legacy of the Taoist Master and glorify the Nine States... Just recently, I have completely ended the threat of two great Demon Lords..."

"Hmm?"

Jing Yi clicked a link and saw the corpse of a Transcendent God Demon Lord being transported down from the Patrol Sky Warship.

Besides, there were captives from the Demon Clan with Demon Banishing Rings around their necks.

A news reporter was excitedly reporting, "... What we’re seeing now is the transport scene of Zhang Taoist Master’s warship... Zhang Huohua has single-handedly killed two great Demon Lords, putting an end to the Moon Demon Calamity..."

"Next, the corpse of the Transcendent God Demon Lord will be sent to the Supreme Research Institute... We shall establish the Moon Demon Nature Reserve and Reproduction Base on the Taiyin Star..."

This was naturally to provide the laboratory with a constant supply of materials.

While Jing Yi watched the comments ’Zhang Taoist Master is awesome’ popping up continuously, he sighed, knowing that this was the trend of the times and the will of the people.

Watching Zhang Huohua’s impassioned speech, Jing Yi suddenly chuckled bitterly, completely losing any desire to pursue further, muttering to himself, "This is quite an experience as well, when I get old I could write an autobiography titled ’How My Senior Became the Fang Immortal Taoist Master,’ it’s bound to be a bestseller..."
