The investigation lasted for three years and nine months.
In the Xia people's mainland, at the headquarters of the Demonic Faction.
Within the Mirage.
The red-robed Dongbo Xue Ying had always been hiding within the Mirage. His Dou Qi Doppelganger was relatively weak, and in order to prevent any accidents from happening, his strongest Deity warrior, the Gold Man, was also brought along by his Dou Qi Doppelganger.
Every half a year or so, his main body would rush over to replenish his Dou Qi! In short, the surveillance here never stopped for even a moment.
"The Transcendents of the Demonic Faction rarely come to the Demonic Faction. In the past three years and nine months, I've only discovered five Transcendents!" Dongbo Xue Ying lightly shook his head. It was understandable. The Transcendents of the Demonic Faction usually disguised themselves as Transcendents of the Xia people. If there was no need, it was normal for them to not come to the Demonic Faction.
For example, he himself rarely went to the Water Daoist Faction.
"Only five." Dongbo Xue Ying was still somewhat dissatisfied. Other than the High Priest Xi Yun and Situ Hong, there were only three new Transcendents.
"Eh?" Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes suddenly lit up.
Inside the blood-red hall.
Xi Yun sat cross-legged on a spacious throne. The scales on his body flickered with a cold light, and the two horns on his head had a spiral pattern. The aura of his demonic body was powerful and vigorous. With just this demonic body alone, he had the qualifications to be ranked in the top ten of the Demigod List! There were strong and weak techniques passed down by the Demonic Gods for cultivating Dark Magic.
Legend has it that in the Dark Abyss, the demonic body cultivated by the best techniques was even more perfect than that of an innate superior demon.
There was a limit to one's bloodline talent, but cultivation was limitless!
"Hu ~ ~ ~" Xi Yun suddenly let out a long and slow breath. The entire blood-colored hall was filled with a vast and mighty rumbling sound. Then, he slowly breathed in. The breath was distant, as if a terrifying monster was breathing. The scales on the surface of his body also retracted, and the sharp horns on his head also retracted.
Xi Yun opened his eyes, revealing a trace of unwillingness. "My realm is still lacking. Even now, I have not been able to cultivate this demonic body to perfection! I, the High Priest, am actually inferior to the Third Priest! Hmph, if I could be as doted on by the Great Demon God like the Third Priest, I might also be able to cultivate my Demon Body to perfection! "
"I wonder who he is. Which one of the demigods of the Xia people is he?" Xi Yun thought to himself.
The demigods of the Demonic Faction were all in direct contact with the Great Demon God. The demigods of the Demonic Faction did not know each other's identities!
Phew.
Xi Yun walked down from the throne, and his body began to be surrounded by Dark Magic. The Dark Magic formed a black fog around him.
After exiting the blood-colored palace hall, Xi Yun quickly made his way to the Demonic Faction Headquarters.
In a sealed secret room.
The secret chamber was huge, covering an area of one mile. Ka ka ka ~ The door of the secret chamber slowly opened, and Xi Yun walked in. He looked up at the bronze coffin that was entangled by thirteen giant chains. The thirteen chains stretched out in different directions of the secret chamber, completely locking the bronze coffin in place. The surface of the bronze coffin was filled with a dense dark magic aura.
"High Priest." A fog appeared and condensed, turning into a white-robed girl.
"How is it? Did anything happen?" Xi Yun asked.
"Reporting to the High Priest, everything is normal. There were no problems during the incubation process," the white-robed girl replied, "I have been monitoring it at all times. The Great Demon God's avatar is being nurtured very well."
Xi Yun slightly nodded. "That's good! The Great Demon God's avatar is extremely important. It is the most important mission for us, and we cannot afford to be careless. "
"I understand," the white-robed girl respectfully replied.
"Also, there are still six years left. We will need to change the medicinal solution. Remind me when the time comes," Xi Yun instructed.
"Yes!" The white-robed girl replied. "Rest assured, High Priest. I have clearly remembered the time of changing the medicinal solution to nurture the Great Demon God's avatar."
Xi Yun nodded.
Regarding the nurturing of this' Great Demon God's avatar ', it was simply too important. The Great Demon God had especially entrusted this task to him! He could ignore everything else, but the 'nurturing of the Great Demon God's avatar' could not be allowed to have any problems. As long as the nurturing was successful, the Great Demon God would bestow an astonishing reward upon him! Thus, Xi Yun frequently came to keep an eye on it, doing his best to prevent any problems from occurring.
Xi Yun released his own dark magical energy, permeating the bronze coffin and carefully inspecting it. Then, he revealed a smile and left in relief.
…
In the Mirage.
The red-robed Dongbo Xue Ying revealed a look of disbelief. His eyes were also filled with unease and fear.
"The Great Demon God's avatar?" Dongbo Xue Ying couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"This … the fleshly body within the bronze coffin is the avatar of the Great Demon God?" Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the towering figure within the bronze coffin, which was suspended in mid-air by thirteen chains. The humanoid figure was eight meters tall, and its body was covered with dark red scales. "The legendary avatar of a deity? What is this Great Demon God planning to do? "
Avatar of a deity!
In the historical records of the Xia people, this was simply a legend.
There were two ways for a deity to descend into the mortal world.
The first was to project a world. Newly ascended weak deities would not be able to do this. Only a powerful deity could forcefully project a world from a great distance and through countless spatial obstacles. The consumption of divine energy was terrifying. Among the ancestors of the Xia people, there were some who could project a world.
The second method was for a clone to descend!
According to the secrets that Dongbo Xue Ying understood, for a deity's avatar to descend, it must first have a 'fleshly body'.
This' fleshly body 'had to be native to the mortal world that was about to descend. If it was a fleshly body from another world, it would be rejected. This fleshly body had to be nurtured from the moment it was still an embryo. Countless prices had to be paid to nurture it until it was completely compatible with the soul of the great deity that was about to descend! For example, for the Great Demon God to descend, this fleshly body must be compatible with the soul of the Great Demon God.
Of course, this fleshly body could only be used by the Great Demon God.
However, to successfully nurture it … one had to pay a huge price in order to make the fleshly body strong enough to bear a strand of the Great Demon God's soul! The Great Demon God had to pay a huge price to forcefully send a strand of his soul from an immeasurably far distance. Even the ordinary Fiendgods and Fiendgods, as well as the ancestors of the Xia people, could not do this!
In the Xia people's world.
Only the Demonic Faction and the Temple of the Earth God had sent their 'God Clones' once in history. That time, it was to fight for the faith of the Xia people's world. After the defeat of the Demonic Faction, the Demonic Faction had been hiding in the darkness ever since, and no Deity Avatars had descended.
"The last time was for the faith of the entire Xia people's world. That was why they sent their God Clones! What is it for this time? "Dongbo Xue Ying felt a formless pressure.
The Great Demon God's God Clones were too terrifying.
Their strength was indeed suppressed by the material world to the limit of a Demigod. However, their understanding of the Laws of Profound Mysteries was too high! Many of the ancestors of the Xia people had become Gods. Some of them even had high statuses. However, none of the ancestors of the Xia people had the strength to send their God Clones. One could only imagine the strength of the Great Demon God!
The Temple of the Earth God was an extremely powerful force in the entire God Realm!
The realm of the Great Demon God … far exceeded that of ordinary Deities! Thus, even if he only used the power of the limit of a Demigod, he could use the Laws of Profound Mysteries to kill ordinary newly ascended Deities!
His grade two True Meanings, the True Meaning of Mirage, the True Meaning of Star, and the Extreme Piercing, were indeed powerful. However, the Great Demon God's realm was many times stronger than his!
Only a God Clone could deal with a God Clone!
In the past, the Great Demon God and a powerful existence from the Temple of the Earth God had sent their God Clones to battle! The battle was earth-shattering. The Xia people could only watch from the side. They could not participate at all.
"Previously, Xi Yun and the others mentioned the plan between the Great Demon God and the Sorcerer God?"
"The Sorcerer God is a powerful Deity that the Beast Clan worships. There is no need for him to become enemies with the Temple of the Earth God! Furthermore, the Great Demon God was defeated the previous time. There is no need for him to try again. "
"If he did not become enemies with the Temple of the Earth God …"
"Then he is targeting us, the Xia people?"
Dongbo Xue Ying's heart tightened.
"Destroy it! Before it is nurtured, destroy it! " Dongbo Xue Ying stared at the humanoid body within the bronze coffin. "Destroy this fleshy body, and the Great Demon God will not be able to send his God Clones."
On the same day.
Dongbo Xue Ying's true body went to meet the Palace Lord Chen once. The two of them discussed this matter. The Palace Lord Chen was frightened, as the Palace Lord Chen knew even more secrets.
"God Clones are unable to enter the Crimson Rock Mountain. Otherwise, the great powers of the Immortal World would have sent their God Clones there long ago. Not being able to enter the Crimson Rock Mountain means that they are targeting us, the Xia people!" The Palace Lord Chen had the same thoughts as Dongbo Xue Ying. "We, the Xia people, and the Great Demon God have always been enemies. Since that is the case, there is no need to worry about offending him! Destroy the fleshy body before it is fully nurtured! Didn't you say that the next time Xi Yun changes his medicinal solution would be six years later? Then we will act before he changes his medicine! Continue to investigate, and we will act six years later! "
"Alright!" Dongbo Xue Ying agreed.
