One month later.
The entire continent was shaken by the "Yao Chaos Qingzhou" incident.
This matter originated from the Yin Corpse Sect and Gu God Cult plotting for the Longevity Body and Ice Soul Gu. Using the teleportation treasure of the Ancient Immortal Palace, they sent the Ancient Beast Taming Sect cultivator Lin Jing to Qingzhou, thus preventing him from receiving the protection of the Ancient Country.
However, what the Yin Corpse Sect and Gu God Cult could never have anticipated was that the Longevity Body Lin Jing invented the Beast Transformation Technique in Qingzhou, gaining the favor of the Lord of the Demon Court, who conferred upon him the title of Demon Court Saint Child.
To help the Saint Child sweep away all enemies and establish authority, the Qingzhou Pill Assembly marked the beginning of the great chaos in Qingzhou. In Heaven-Reaching City, four Void Profound Cultivators with ill intentions towards Lin Jing, along with five Void Profound Demon Ancestors with designs on him, a total of nine Void Profound realm experts, fell simultaneously within the city!
Divinity Transformation... Nascent Soul... The death of cultivators and demon beasts with such cultivation levels was countless.
Moreover, the forces behind those on the Celestial Demon Scroll, both cultivators and demon beasts, were systematically purged by the myriad tribes of the Demon Court, with their territories seized.
The disruptive actions of the Demon Court in breaking regional power balances soon drew the attention of the two major Demon Emperors bordering Qingzhou.
The Forest Sea Dragon Emperor in the Mist Forest adjacent to Qingzhou.
To the east of Qingzhou, the Yin Yang Whale Emperor, Lord of the Sea God Palace in the East Sea.
Faced with the rampant expansion of the Demon Court, they had initially intended to intervene in maintaining balance. However, when the Lord of the Demon Court appeared at the Yin Corpse Sect with the form of a demon clan and engaged in a void-shattering battle with the Corpse Emperor, smashing the Yin Corpse Secret Realm and forcing the Corpse Emperor to escape through Corpse Dissolution rebirth, the two Demon Emperors fell silent.
Although the Corpse Emperor was not considered the strongest among the Seeking Dao stage, he was injured. In a Seeking Dao battle, if one side is determined to escape, it is challenging for the other to completely eliminate them.
Especially when one side is on its home turf.
Yet, the Lord of the Demon Court nearly succeeded, infiltrating the enemy's stronghold alone. Although he did not utterly kill the opponent, Corpse Dissolution rebirth is akin to death, meaning the Corpse Emperor's Seeking Dao cultivation will be nullified. Even if he survives by chance, he will have to start cultivating from the Qi Cultivation Stage.
"That ancient and immensely glorious demon clan has returned."
Within Qingzhou, numerous demon beast leaders were eager to join the Demon Court.
The demon clan, renowned as the second-largest race on the Celestial Essence Continent, is thought by many to have potential far exceeding the human race. Indeed, the human race became stronger due to the heritage left by the Ancient Immortal Palace, which was a human force in the Immortal Realm, naturally favoring humans.
On the Immortal Realm level, aside from lacking reproduction capabilities compared to the human race, the demon race holds advantages in other aspects.
"The continent's framework is about to be rewritten."
A distant place in the extreme north, the Frost Land.
This area is eternally covered in snow and ice, with harsh conditions.
Though there are human cultivators in the Frost Land, its dominion lies with four Ice and Frost Demon Emperors.
Ice Emperor, the Ice Bear.
Snow Emperor, the Nine-tailed Snow Fox.
Cold Emperor, the Cold Feathered Eagle.
Frost Emperor, the Frost Horror Wolf.
These four Demon Emperors once explored a Snowfield Secret Realm during the Void Profound stage, obtaining an ancient celestial artifact frozen until now. With it, they collectively broke through to the Seeking Dao stage, ultimately dominating the Frost Land.
However, relying on external force to attain Seeking Dao means they are among the weakest Demon Emperors, vastly inferior to the three Qingzhou Demon Emperors.
Thus they have attracted the Second Ancient Emperor's attention.
Currently, under the attack from the Ancient Country, the Frost Land side is retreating steadily.
Upon hearing of the Qingzhou upheaval, the four Frost Land Emperors simultaneously conceived the same idea.
"Could we form an alliance with the Qingzhou Demon Court? We were fortunate to break through to Demon Emperor due to the celestial artifact, lacking strong inheritance, while the Second Ancient Emperor grows stronger with the First Ancient Emperor's legacy. If this continues, we will eventually be devoured by the Ancient Country."
"And if we could obtain the Transformation Technique from the Demon Court, we might inherit ancient demon divine techniques and undergo a complete metamorphosis."
"I believe the Demon Court leader would like to see us and the Ancient Country mutually incapacitate each other, gaining greater opportunities for the demon race's expansion."
"Really? But within the Demon Court, the Saint Child who masters the Transformation Technique is originally an Ancient Country cultivator. Though now a Demon Court Saint Child, he may not aid us in countering his own homeland. After all, he is human."
"Without trying, how can we be certain?"
The four Frost Land Demon Emperors dispatched messengers to Qingzhou.
The journey is long, with uncertain arrival times.
Currently, although the happenings in Qingzhou have not spread among ordinary cultivators outside Qingzhou, the events have been immediately known to Seeking Dao, Demon Emperor level beings.
This incident centered around "Demon Race Revival" and "Lord of the Demon Court destroys the Yin Corpse Demon Sect," wherein even the First Ancient Emperor could not accomplish the destruction of the Yin Corpse Sect.
Of course, this was related to the Ancient Country simultaneously battling multiple Seeking Dao level powers then, causing the First Ancient Emperor to be overwhelmed, only heavily damaging the Corpse Emperor and expelling the Yin Corpse Sect from the country.
And in such series of grand events, one name stands out: the Longevity Body Lin Jing.
Countless Void Profound deaths, the demise of many forces, all linked to the Longevity Body.
Thus, the name of Lin Jing, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, spread to the ears of every Seeking Dao stage grandmaster, propelling his fame sky-high.
Henceforth, Lin Jing was no longer the pitiful Longevity Body needing to hide.
But instead stood alongside top successors like "Prince Gu," "Martial Emperor's Heir," "Water Moon Immortal Island's Senior Sister," "Sun Temple Bodhisattva," "Cloud Sea Mountain Range Witch God Hall Divine Child," among the most elite forces.
Becoming one of the top second-generation immortals in the Celestial Essence Realm.
In the ghastly ghost fire enveloped Heaven-Reaching City.
After everything settled, the Heaven-Reaching Tower Master and the Immortal Pill Spirit emerged, standing atop the Heaven-Reaching Tower, gazing at the near changing Qingzhou, shaking their heads.
"With ghost fire magic, this battle has rendered my Heaven-Reaching City akin to Hell."
"However, what puzzles me is that despite the immense allure of the Longevity Body, with the strong arrival of Yin Corpse Sect and Gu God Cult seeking to seize, why did Nether Hall send no one?"
"I am uncertain, but luckily they didn't come, or they would have suffered greatly like the Yin Corpse Sect and Gu God Cult. The Gu God Sect is slightly better, being too far from Qingzhou for the Demon Court leader to easily attack, but the Yin Corpse Sect suffered, with only scattered remnants left!"
"That Demon Court leader is terrifying, thankfully I didn't let you fight, or we'd be doomed!"
The Heaven-Reaching Tower Master glanced at the Immortal Pill Spirit and sighed. Ultimately, it was the Immortal Pill Spirit's excessive caution preventing full power utilization; otherwise, as the only Immortal Pill in the mortal realm, even the Emperor of the Demons must fear its presence.
"Now, we'll see what the Demon Court plans next."
