Chapter 64

Ding Yue focused his gaze and noticed that this group of demon race members all had cultivation levels that had entered the realm of immortals, each one exuding a powerful aura, their gazes steady and deep.

Although the several hundred people present did not look highly upon the cultivation levels of these hundreds of individuals, the overwhelming momentum made everyone feel a chill!

Truly worthy of being the former overlords!

Ding Yue made a silent comparison and found that the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court were really not much better than dregs, with a vast difference!

The Great Mage stepped forward and greeted them, engaging in a light and casual conversation.

The leading demon general, with a steady gaze, swept his eyes over the dozens of Taiyi-level experts present. Although he knew that any one of them could reduce his group of hundreds to ashes, the demon general still spoke forcefully: "Please wait here! I will report to the Demon Master first!"

"Hmph!" Immediately, several cold snorts could be heard.

Among the disciples of the Three Teachings, most had angry expressions, glaring coldly at the demon general!

"Wait!" The demon general sneered, ignoring the many angry disciples of the Three Teachings. After instructing a demon soldier to report, he led the remaining demon soldiers to land on the island, looking at the disciples of the Three Teachings with cold eyes.

Even the Great Mage, who had high cultivation, could not maintain his composure at this moment, his face somewhat grim.

"Senior Brother, let's find an island to wait first," Ding Yue said to the Great Mage via telepathy.

The Great Mage came to his senses, instantly recovering, and with a smile, he spoke to the many disciples of the Three Teachings, then they all landed on an island together.

However, the disciples of the Three Teachings were all burdened with heavy hearts, each one closing their eyes to rest, making the scene somewhat cold.

Seeing this, the Great Mage felt somewhat depressed and could only pull aside Duobao Daoist and Yunzhongzi to discuss privately.

"Senior Brother, what do you think will happen on this trip? This place doesn't seem to be a good place at all!" Nüwa Shi Ji approached Ding Yue and asked softly.

"Don't worry too much. The matter of the Human Emperor is a trend, and at most, there will be some danger but no real harm," Ding Yue consoled.

Three hours later, a streak of light flew from the northern sky, its glow flickering, and in a moment, it had already reached the island where the demon general was.

Then, a demon soldier came before the group and said, "Please follow me!"

Without waiting for the reaction of the disciples of the Three Teachings, the demon soldier moved, a cloud of demonic energy appearing under his feet, carrying him away.

"Let's go!" The Great Mage said, getting up first.

However, the demon soldier was only at the initial stage of True Immortal, and in the cold and bone-chilling northern sea, his flying speed was truly unbearable, making the many powerful and skilled disciples of the Three Teachings extremely angry.

This speed is really slow!

"Senior Brother, this demon soldier must be doing it on purpose!" Shi Ji said with a smile.

In the center of the Northern Sea, numerous islands were scattered, each spanning hundreds or thousands of miles. In the middle, a large island spanning tens of thousands of miles was covered in snow and ice, as if draped in a white cloth!

When the disciples of the Three Teachings arrived here, seeing the densely packed demon race members on the island and the surging demonic aura, their faces immediately turned grim.

In the sky, rows of demon armies stood in the air, their formations orderly, their momentum unhidden, surging towards the heavens!

"This is the demon army that survived the great calamity? The demon army that broke the Western Sumeru Mountain?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, looking at the iron-blooded momentum of this demon army, feeling a chill!

After the great calamity, although the demon and witch races lost their dominant position in the world, they were like a worm with a hundred feet, still not completely dead, let alone two races that had dominated the world for billions of years?

A demon general stepped forward, leading the group towards the central island.

On that large island, a majestic palace stood on the peak of the highest mountain.

Inside the palace, a figure sat deep within, shrouded in mist, indistinct, with only two eyes shining like the sun and moon, shaking the heavens and earth!

"Xuandu of the Human Teachings, pays respects to the Demon Master!" Even Xuandu the Great Mage, at this moment, performed a grand salute with a heavy expression.

And the many disciples of the Three Teachings naturally did not try to stand out, each one bowing like a meek wife.

Duobao Daoist was no exception!

"What is it?" The gaze disappeared into the mist, and a steady voice slowly echoed.

Xuandu the Great Mage took a deep breath, his gaze focused, and he loudly said, "The Human Emperor is about to achieve enlightenment. Please, Demon Master, lend us the supreme treasure of the demon race to assist the Human Emperor in achieving enlightenment!"

There was no need for any roundabout talk; he directly stated his purpose. Moreover, in front of this figure, everyone felt that they could not play any tricks.

The palace fell silent, the figure deep within unmoving, only a vast and boundless aura slowly moving, making everyone present break out in cold sweat!

"Are you the little mortal from the past?" Suddenly, the figure said something without any basis.

Ding Yue was startled. Although he was not named, he knew this was directed at him. He took a deep breath, stepped out of the line, and performed a grand salute.

This was a grand salute that only the Master of the Three Teachings could receive.

"Junior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

...

The many disciples of the Three Teachings were all shocked, and Hanzhixian and Shi Ji were even more pale.

"Ding Yue pays respects to the Demon Master!" Ding Yue bowed.

"Your luck is not bad. How is my whip? You have quite a bit of courage to secretly take my spiritual treasure and learn my divine powers."

The Demon Master chuckled, but it was hard to tell if he was pleased or angry.

The many disciples of the Three Teachings were even more terrified, and Ding Yue felt several admiring gazes fall on him, making him inwardly bitter.

Of course, there were also gazes of schadenfreude.

"Please, Demon Master, forgive me." Ding Yue quickly said, apologizing and speaking well, and then took out a pile of gifts that made the surrounding disciples envious.

The meaning was clear: to apologize and make amends.

The Whip of the Mountain was also included.

"Take it back. That is also your luck. Go out first, Yanzhan is waiting for you outside."

Now it was clear that the Demon Master was not angry. His gaze was very calm, landing on Ding Yue and examining him for a long time.

"You are quite good, but my divine powers are somewhat wasted on you."

Ding Yue glanced at the others, gave a nod to Hanzhixian and Shi Ji, indicating that everything was fine, and then left the hall.

Outside the hall, a demon general in blood armor stood before the hall, about two meters tall, with a stern face, and a faint aura of blood and slaughter, making people feel a chill.

After a long look, suddenly, the two smiled.

"Big Brother!"

"Yanzhan!"

Yanzhan was now the top general under the Demon Master, commanding the demon army of the Northern Sea, with deep cultivation and vast powers.

The two reminisced, and Ding Yue also learned about Yanzhan's past and talked about his own experiences.

"What about the dog and the donkey?" Ding Yue asked, still thinking about those two unreliable guys.

Yanzhan pondered for a moment.

"What happened?" Ding Yue's heart tightened, asking with some worry, wondering if they had really perished in the great calamity.

"I don't know where they are, but I know they are not dead," Yanzhan said after a moment of thought.

"Where could they have gone?" Ding Yue was puzzled. He had deliberately searched for them, and with the land and mountain gods of the Heavenly Court spread throughout the three realms, it was easy for him to find someone.

But he had searched and never found them, making Ding Yue think they had been in the Northern Sea all along.

"Big Brother, don't worry. They are fine and will appear when the time is right," Yanzhan consoled.

Ding Yue thought for a moment, looking at Yanzhan's somewhat unfinished words, imagining many possibilities.

Suppressing these thoughts, Yanzhan led Ding Yue around.

But the more he saw, the more shocked Ding Yue became.

After many years, not only had the human race developed greatly, but the demon race, which had been confined to a corner, had also recovered some of its vitality.

"There are now eighteen demon generals and ten thousand demon soldiers in the Northern Sea, and I am the leader of all the generals," Yanzhan said, a former overlord's momentum slowly revealing itself.

Ding Yue was shocked, looking at the demon soldiers continuously training in the harsh Northern Sea, as if seeing a sleeping giant slowly opening its eyes.

"Yanzhan, does the demon race still want to rule the three realms?" Ding Yue asked in surprise.

"Big Brother, these are not things we should consider. We can only leave it to fate," Yanzhan smiled and said, "But Big Brother, don't worry. The chance of us being opponents is small."

"Only I don't know where your roots are," Yanzhan said.

Ding Yue was startled, looking at Yanzhan with confusion and unease, "What do you mean?"

Yanzhan shook his head, "Big Brother, you will understand in the future."

After a moment, Yanzhan looked into the distance, "Big Brother, your fellow disciples are coming out. Let's go and see."

After the disciples of the Three Teachings came out, seventeen figures flew from the distance and landed before the hall, each a towering demon general.

These demon generals all exuded a shocking aura, their eyes filled with defiance!

Ding Yue said goodbye to Yanzhan and joined the disciples of the Three Teachings, asking, "What's going on?"

Nüwa Shi Ji quickly responded, "Senior Brother, we have to compete with these demon generals. If we win, we can borrow the supreme treasure."

At this moment, Duobao Daoist looked over, his eyes full of confusion.

Ding Yue helplessly explained briefly and finally said, "Senior Brother, do you have confidence?"

"Junior Brother, don't worry. From the Demon Master's intentions, it seems he just wants to use us to temper the morale of these demon generals," Duobao Daoist smiled and said, "Junior Brother, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to participate this time."

Ding Yue smiled, not speaking. This time, he indeed could not participate, and it was better to watch.

Moreover, his thoughts were somewhat chaotic, and he really did not want to participate.

After a moment's thought, Ding Yue looked at Duobao Daoist, moved his lips, and transmitted a message.

Duobao Daoist turned to look, his eyes filled with meaning, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Junior Brothers, give it your all, don't be careless," Xuandu the Great Mage instructed.

The competition began, and Ding Yue noticed that many of the demon generals were likely recent ascenders to the Taiyi realm.

Unlike the disciples of the Three Teachings, who were skilled in Daoist arts and possessed divine treasures, the demon generals relied more on their innate powers and weapons, making the battles exceptionally fierce and open, with a focus on close combat.

After several rounds, although the disciples of the Three Teachings won more often than they lost, most of their victories were due to their divine treasures, while the innate powers of the demon generals shone brightly, displaying formidable strength!

"Yanzhan of the Demon Race!" Finally, Yanzhan appeared with a long spear, his fierce aura making the disciples tremble.

"Yunzhongzi of the Daoist Teachings!"

...

(These past two days have been a bit rough. First, I had a sore throat, some kind of tonsillitis, and had to eat slowly. Then, I sprained my foot and had to walk carefully...)
