The Mirror of Reincarnation indeed possesses many mysterious and profound abilities. The Law Sage, having lived for an extremely long time, knows countless secrets and ancient texts.
Even he had spoken in such a manner, further solidifying Chu Gucheng's determination to seize the Mirror of Reincarnation.
Without the Mirror of Reincarnation, the Immortal Chu Dynasty might find it difficult to overcome this crisis.
He had always respected the transcendent status of the Xiyuan Sacred Hall, but he never expected the Saintess Xiyuan to make such a choice, going so far as to sever ties with the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
Since she had acted without benevolence first, he could not be blamed for acting without righteousness later.
Afterward, Chu Gucheng issued an order forbidding his subordinates and clansmen from leaving the Immortal Chu Dynasty to seek revenge against the Demon Court.
He was worried that his other children might act impulsively, which would play right into the enemy's hands.
Until the truth behind the incident was fully investigated, escalating the conflict with the Demon Court would only place an immense burden on the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
Now, the enemy was in the shadows, while they were in the light.
If they did not tread carefully, as if walking on thin ice, the entire Immortal Chu Dynasty might be led to ruin.
With Chu Gucheng personally issuing the order, the furious and turbulent atmosphere within the Immortal Chu Dynasty gradually stabilized.
Many forces that had been watching from the sidelines were deeply shocked and surprised.
They had all assumed that Chu Gucheng, in his rage, would dispatch a grand army to attack the Demon Court and avenge his son.
Who would have thought that he would remain so clear-headed, restraining all his clansmen and preventing the situation from spiraling out of control?
In contrast, when the offspring of the Demon Ancestor had perished, the Demon Ancestor had been consumed by fury, immediately summoning all the demon lords and blowing the Demon Gathering Conch, leading a charge against the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
This made many forces uneasy. Chu Gucheng was too rational and clear-minded.
In such a situation, he had not lost his composure, still considering the bigger picture and not letting rage cloud his judgment.
Such an enemy was undoubtedly terrifying.
This also deepened the wariness of various forces toward the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
In just over a hundred epochs, it had grown to such an extent. If given enough time, could it not unify the entire Prime-Origin Civilization?
Compared to the oppressive grief and anger within the Immortal Chu Dynasty, the atmosphere in the distant Endless Demon Domain was one of jubilation and excitement.
On the demonic mountains, where demonic energy soared into the sky, demon kings appeared one after another, and demons of all sizes gathered, bringing fine wine and delicacies.
Everywhere one looked, the Demon Court was holding a grand feast to celebrate the Seventh Prince, Di Kun.
Upon learning that Di Kun had personally killed Chu Gucheng's son in such a domineering manner in front of numerous forces, the Demon Ancestor was also greatly pleased, finally releasing a long-held breath of frustration. He then ordered the Demon Court to hold a grand feast for three months, during which all demonic beings could partake in the celebration.
For a time, Di Kun, the Seventh Prince of the Demon Court, became the most celebrated figure in the Demon Court.
The other princes of the Demon Court paled in comparison to his glory.
Outside Tang Valley and Yu Abyss, many demon generals and lords came to pay their respects, seeking to follow Di Kun.
They admired the Seventh Prince's courage in killing Chu Gucheng's son in front of so many forces, bringing glory to the demon race.
The demon race was different from other forces. They rarely resorted to schemes and tricks, instead valuing strength and power above all else.
The Immortal Chu Dynasty had killed the Ninth Prince of the Demon Court but refused to give an explanation or hand over the murderer.
This had long angered many demons, who had no outlet for their rage.
Now, the Seventh Prince, Di Kun, had taken action and killed the son of the Immortal Chu Dynasty's ruler, greatly振奋ing the demon race.
Many powerful demons came to pledge their allegiance to Di Kun.
Naturally, Di Kun was also in high spirits, never having imagined that he would one day enjoy such glory.
Even his brothers now looked at him with a mix of wariness and unease.
Although he knew that his ability to kill Chu Xiao was largely due to the help of that mysterious existence,
since that day on the Blood Plateau, Di Kun had not heard from that presence again.
Now, various forces were speculating about how he had managed to reach the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain so quickly and kill Chu Xiao.
Could it be that he had allied with another force to plot against the Immortal Chu Dynasty?
Di Kun was well aware of these rumors but never explained anything.
The more chaotic and speculative the outside world became, the better it was for him.
It was only now that the Demon Ancestor, Di Huang, began to notice the extraordinary qualities of this son of his.
His other sons, though also seeking to avenge Di Wen, were not as committed, partly because they were reluctant to go to war with the Immortal Chu Dynasty, fearing its strength.
Although the Demon Ancestor did not involve himself much in the affairs of the Demon Court, he had noticed over the years how the demon lords had been half-hearted in carrying out his orders.
Even this time, when he personally issued the order and blew the Demon Gathering Conch to summon all demons to attack the Immortal Chu Dynasty,
many demon lords had been insincere, not taking his command seriously.
"The Demon Court today indeed needs reorganization. I had not noticed before that Little Seven had such courage and ambition. This is also an opportunity to temper and evaluate him."
"If he can satisfy me, what harm is there in handing the Demon Court over to him in the future?"
The Demon Ancestor, Di Huang, sat deep within Yu Abyss, his aura as vast and profound as the sea, awe-inspiring to all.
He planned to entrust Di Kun with great responsibilities. As for how Di Kun had learned of the whereabouts of Chu Gucheng's son, the Demon Ancestor did not wish to inquire further.
If Di Kun had the capability, what did it matter if he killed Chu Gucheng? Let alone just one of his sons.
The Demon Court, standing tall in the Endless Demon Domain, could trace its existence back to the dawn of the Prime-Origin Civilization. It was one of the oldest and most numerous races in the Prime-Origin Civilization and had no need to fear a rising force like the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
If the Demon Court could restore its former glory and return to the era when the Demon Emperor ruled and all races bowed in reverence, a mere Immortal Chu Dynasty could be annihilated with a snap of the fingers.
As for whether other forces were behind this, scheming and inciting conflict, the Demon Ancestor did not care.
At most, the Demon Court was being used as a pawn, but it was unlikely that multiple forces would conspire against it.
The Immortal Chu Dynasty was the one facing the greatest crisis now.
"Haha, the Immortal Chu Dynasty should never have protected the one who killed Little Nine… Bringing such calamity upon themselves is their own doing."
"If I can see the Immortal Chu Dynasty destroyed, what does it matter if the Demon Court is used as a pawn in someone else's scheme?"
As he muttered to himself, a domineering aura emanated from the Demon Ancestor's eyes.
He personally rose and wrote an edict, which tore through the universe and landed at Di Kun's palace in Yu Abyss. The golden demonic script illuminated the heavens, as if containing boundless divine might, shocking and aweing all demonic beings.
This edict was filled with the Demon Ancestor's appreciation and rewards for the Seventh Prince, Di Kun, to such an extent that it left the other princes of the Demon Court stunned and envious.
The many demon lords and generals now understood—this was a clear sign that the Demon Ancestor was beginning to favor Di Kun. Could it be that the position of Demon Emperor was about to change?
