"For now, we should wait and see. The Sorcerer Tribe is in grief and anger, and their will to fight is at its strongest. We should delay them until their morale is weakened, and then we can plan," Bai Ze said seriously.
"Good." Taiyi nodded in agreement.
The Demon Court had sent billions of soldiers and nearly a hundred Demon Gods. Only half of the Demon Gods were left in the Demon Court. It was not easy to maintain the situation of the war and set up another ambush.
Taiyi asked about the current situation of the war. He encouraged and rewarded those who had made great contributions in the war, and punished the guilty Demon Gods.
The meeting was over.
After the Demon Gods dispersed, Bai Ze got up and walked with Yingzhao. They had always been good friends, and they talked more casually.
They walked out of the meeting hall and walked along the white jade fence at the edge of the Celestial Court. They watched the rolling clouds below and chatted casually.
"I heard that Jiuying went to the Lower Worlds not long ago and failed to kill Xiang Liu. He was slightly injured. Why don't we go and see him?" Yingzhao had always been a warm-hearted person in the Celestial Court. Many Demon Gods were on good terms with him, and Jiuying was one of them.
Bai Ze and Jiuying had been friends for a while because of their positions. Hearing this, he smiled.
"Jiuying Palace is not far away. I wanted to go and see. I happen to be free today, so let's go together. Otherwise, I don't know what trouble will come later."
"However, with Jiu Ying's ability, even if he couldn't kill Xiang Liu, he wouldn't be injured … Although Xiang Liu is a top Senior Magus, he is still weaker than Jiu Ying. I have fought with him before." Bai Ze slightly frowned.
"That's true. Let's go and see." Yingzhao also frowned.
They were both top Demon Gods, and they were very fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived outside Jiuying Palace. The Snake Demon guarding the door saw them and hurried in to report.
Soon, the door of the palace opened, and Jiuying's voice came from inside.
"Brothers, please come in!" His voice was a little gloomy. He was obviously in a bad mood after being injured.
Bai Ze and Yingzhao stood side by side. Their figures flashed, and they stepped into the main hall of Jiuying Palace.
In the dark hall, a burly man with nine heads and a one-eyed woman were sitting opposite them. Seeing them come in, the man quickly got up, and the gloominess faded from his face.
"My two brothers, I only suffered some minor injuries. I don't deserve to be visited by both of you!"
"Since Brother Jiu Ying has a guest, then I will take my leave first." The one-eyed woman, who had been sitting before, smiled. She got up and bowed to Ying Zhao and Bai Ze. Then, her body exploded and turned into black smoke.
"That is …?" Ying Zhao asked in confusion.
"It's the Wind Queen, Feilian." Bai Ze knew all the Yao Gods in the Yao Court, so he immediately said their names.
Wasn't Jiu Ying always on bad terms with Brother Feilian? How did he end up with this person?
Ying Zhao's heart stirred slightly.
He looked closely at Jiu Ying's face and felt the demonic power in his body. Just as he said, he was only slightly injured.
Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Ying Zhao and Bai Ze sat down and chatted with Jiu Ying for a while before getting up to leave.
As they walked out of the Jiuying Palace, Ying Zhao's face darkened.
The two of them didn't say a word until they were far away and were about to reach the location of the Solar Star Palace. Their surroundings were scorching hot.
Only then did he stop and lean against a fence.
"Brother Bai Ze, when did Jiu Ying get together with Feilian? Hasn't he always been on bad terms with Brother Feilian, Shang Yang? "
"I find it strange too. After this trip to the Lower Worlds, this Jiu Ying seems to have become a little … strange." Bai Ze was intelligent and clever. He was well-versed in astronomy and geography. He was extremely sensitive to the slightest change.
Although Jiu Ying didn't seem to have changed much on the surface, Ying Zhao still felt something strange.
"I don't feel anything, but recently, the Heavenly Court seems to have become a little strange … Have you noticed, Bai Ze?" Ying Zhao was not only the most powerful Yao God, but he was also responsible for managing all the trivial matters in the Heavenly Court. He was the right hand of Celestial Emperor Tai Yi and Di Jun. Therefore, he was very sensitive in this area.
"Oh? What is it? "Bai Ze's eyes narrowed.
"Originally, the Yao Gods were in groups of two or three according to their regions. Normally, they wouldn't have any extra contact. But in the past year … some of the Yao Gods that didn't usually move around have begun to contact each other. Even some of the Yao Gods that had grudges against each other have begun to let go, "Ying Zhao said.
"Is that so?" Bai Ze had always been responsible for the operation of the major formations of the Heavenly Court, so he didn't pay much attention to this. When he heard Ying Zhao mention it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Now that you mention it, I saw a few Yao Gods that didn't get along with each other a while ago, talking and laughing together."
Ying Zhao nodded.
"This feeling, it's like … it's like all the Yao Gods of the Demon Court are beginning to form different small groups."
Bai Ze nodded in agreement. "A little, but even if they form a group, it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect the battle against the Witch Race."
"If that's all, I don't have to say more. I'm just a little worried …" Ying Zhao shook his head.
"There's nothing to worry about. With the Celestial Emperor in charge of the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation and the Mixed-Essence River-River Formation, unless the Witch Ancestor comes in person, other disturbances are trivial," Bai Ze comforted him.
"That's true." Ying Zhao also smiled.
…
…
Light Mountain.
Lu Sheng played with a pitch-black egg-sized round ball in his hand. A large amount of hazy black mist flowed faintly inside the ball. At the same time, there was a nine-headed monster that looked like a dragon, but not a dragon, or a snake, but not a snake. It kept roaring.
A large amount of Vermilion Bird Divine Fire around him had been retracted, leaving only a little protective flame around him.
A large amount of Mental Energy flowed from the black pearl into Lu Sheng's palm.
"As expected of the legendary and famous Nine-Headed Infant. There's such a huge amount of Mental Energy in this Inner Core!" Lu Sheng was surprised as he absorbed the endless Mental Energy.
This Inner Core was just sent by his subordinate Yao God. It was the core of the Nine-Headed Infant.
As the top Yao God of the Demon Court, the Nine-Headed Infant had originally gone to ambush Xiang Liu. He didn't expect to be ambushed by his own people on the way. He struggled helplessly and was parasitized. He became one of the Yao Gods under Lu Sheng.
He was also the first top Yao God to be parasitized.
Although seven of the Yao Gods were heavily injured, it was all worth it.
Lu Sheng obtained the Heart Core Inner Core Treasure that the Nine-Headed Infant had sacrificially refined for countless years, just as he wished. As an ancient beast that could control water and fire, the Nine-Headed Infant's history was almost as long as the Vermilion Bird Tribe.
Lu Sheng aimed at the Inner Core Treasure. He wanted to test if the Treasure that these ancient Yao Gods sacrificially refined had any Mental Energy.
To his surprise, the Nine-Headed Infant's Inner Core not only contained Mental Energy, but a lot!
'From the looks of it, as long as there are many Yao Gods in history, or existences that have lived long enough, they might have accumulated a large amount of Mental Energy.'
After an unknown period of time, Lu Sheng released the Nine-Headed Infant's Inner Core and checked the Mental Energy he obtained.
'100 million!?' He was slightly shocked. 'If I knew this, why would I go around looking for Shaman Artifacts and Treasures?'
'There's Mental Energy everywhere in the Primordial World!' In his joy, Lu Sheng immediately thought of the many Yao Gods he had parasitized. Although most of these Yao Gods were not famous, many of them had lived for a long time. Perhaps, he could harvest some Mental Energy!
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Sheng quickly ordered through his main body that all the Yao Gods would take turns to send their Inner Cores to him.
Several days later, the Yao Gods entered and left Radiance Mountain. They did not stay for long. On top of that, they were extremely fast and had powerful concealment arts with them. They did not cause any commotion as they arrived.
These Yao Gods had tens of millions of contribution points. Although it was not as much as a top Yao God like the Nine-Headed Infant, there were still a lot of them.
The amount of Mental Energy in Lu Sheng's possession quickly increased to a whopping 3,000,000,000 units!
This was the chance to become a Quasi-Saint!
…
…
"Rumble."
Bolts of lightning flashed in the sky. The edge of the Heaven's Grotto above Mount Buzhou was already being filled up by colorful substances.
The Celestial River's water flow slowed down.
The rivers around Radiance Mountain flowed rapidly. The rain had been pouring for ten days now.
Lu Sheng stood at the entrance of a cave in the mountain with his hands behind his back. He looked at the thin drizzle that danced in the air outside.
The Nanming Longevity Record had been extrapolated to the ninth tier of the 99th Revolution. He had truly reached the limit.
His current Vermillion Bird form had also reached an unimaginably huge size.
Even if the ancient Vermillion Bird ancestor was still alive, he would not be a match for him. If there was anyone in the Vermillion Bird Tribe who was the most powerful, then he would undoubtedly be the Vermillion Bird King.
"Vermillion Bird King … I like this title." Lu Sheng extended his hand calmly and caught a few drops of rain.
The water droplets landed on his palm. It was as if they were landing on an ordinary person's palm. They rolled slowly on his skin.
"Today, I'll let this title live up to its name."
Lu Sheng smiled.
After a moment of silence, he clenched his hand lightly.
"Hiss …"
The water droplets between his fingers instantly turned into platinum-colored flames. The flames squeezed out from between his fingers and intertwined like silk threads. They formed a perfect, illusory flame flower that slowly bloomed.
An exquisite platinum-colored Vermillion Bird lay quietly in the flower's stamen.
The Vermillion Bird slowly raised its head. Pure golden flames suddenly burned in its eyes.
"Begin."
Lu Sheng reached out and suddenly grabbed the Vermillion Bird in his palm.
"Roar!"
Sword-like platinum-colored flames exploded from his hand and shot into the sky. It was as if a crack that led to a world of white flames had suddenly opened between heaven and earth!
"Come! Burn!! "Lu Sheng spread his arms wide and laughed maniacally.
"Boom!"
Countless platinum-colored flames spread in all directions with him as the center.
Countless living beings, rocks, mountains, and soil were all vaporized in the flames.
The space cracked continuously, and cracks spread like a spider web. Countless air Spirit Qi leaked into the void through the cracks. This was the leakage of the world's Vital Qi!
…
…
Purple Cloud Palace.
Hong Jun slowly opened his eyes in the middle of the vast and boundless hall.
"Pass down my decree: Lu Sheng is conferred the title of Vermillion Bird Great Emperor of Southern Ming. He will control the Heavenly Pure Divine Flame and be the master of Southern Ming's Pure Divine Flame.
A purple jade talisman automatically formed in front of him. In the blink of an eye, it floated out of the Purple Cloud Palace and descended toward the lower realm.
