Chapter 47: New Commander of the Demon Suppression Division
"Haha, you are worthy of being the big brother. You are so powerful that you can rely on your physical body to take on the heavenly thunder. You are unique in the whole world of immortal cultivation and unparalleled in the world." The Ten Thousand Demons King came over with a smile and quickly flattered him.
Seeing the expectant look on the face of the King of Ten Thousand Demons, Zhou An secretly laughed that this guy was definitely a bootlicker in front of the Seven Illusionary Demon Lords back then.
"How is it? Do you have any insights?" Zhou An asked back.
Speaking of cultivation, the Monster King became serious. He looked at the dark clouds that had not yet completely dispersed and said, "Brother, you should not just use your physical body to resist the heavenly tribulation. If that's all, it's totally unnecessary. It would be easier to use magic weapons to block it, so as not to get hurt. Brother, are you using the heavenly thunder to temper your physical body?"
"Yes, this is just as I expected. The heavenly thunder is a test from God to the practitioners, but also a reward." Zhou An said.
"Well, this method has been tried before, but only physical cultivators can do this, otherwise the body will turn into ashes as soon as it comes into contact. To be honest, big brother, I have already cultivated the body of a demon king, but I am afraid that I cannot absorb all nine levels of heavenly tribulation. I cannot withstand the last three.
I am confident that I can get through this nine-fold thunder with my treasures, but what about this inner demon?" The Ten Thousand Demon King looked at him with a thirsty look.
Zhou An laughed, leaving both of them puzzled. Then his eyes suddenly emitted a purple-red light and demonic energy surged from his body.
This sudden change surprised both the King of Ten Thousand Demons and Hua Wu Yue, as demonic energy is a sign of possession.
Last time, he and Hua Wu Yue only used the Yin-Yang method to decompose and absorb the demonic energy, but it was impossible to control the demonic energy.
Zhou An glanced at the two and said, "This is what I want to show you today. I have merged with my inner demon. I am the demon."
“Impossible! If the inner demon merges with the cause and effect brought down by the Heaven, it would be equivalent to letting the inner demon invade the soul.” The King of Ten Thousand Demons exclaimed, staring in disbelief.
Hua Wu Yue also said: "It is recorded in ancient books that the inner demon is the evil nature that grows from one's seven emotions and six desires. When the heavenly tribulation comes, the heavenly way will merge the evil karma into the inner demon and stimulate it. The more karma is involved, the more dangerous the inner demon will be. Taking the initiative to merge with the inner demon is equivalent to giving up. Have you really merged with the inner demon?"
"You just said that the inner demon grows from one's seven emotions and six desires. To put it bluntly, the inner demon is another self. Just as there are day and night in the sky, so do people. I think that resisting the inner demon, or suppressing the seven emotions and six desires, is actually a wrong way to practice.
The fusion with the inner demon has doubled my cultivation. To achieve this, the key is to have a clear conscience. This is the true inner demon questioning. If you do something against your will, you will naturally be frustrated at the stage of the inner demon questioning.
"King of Ten Thousand Demons, your Nine Heavenly Tribulation should be coming soon. If you cannot fight against your inner demons by then, you can try my method. The premise is that you have a clear conscience, otherwise, as Wu Yue said, fusing with the inner demons is equivalent to giving up the tribulation." Zhou An said.
The Monster King sighed and said, "It's retribution. No matter if a cultivator is human or monster, if they want magic weapons, skills, or elixirs, how can they avoid competing for resources? If they compete, they will definitely be tainted with endless cause and effect. They must have a clear conscience. Humph, who in the world can do it? No, now Big Brother has done it."
Hua Wu Yue asked in surprise: "Have you never hurt anyone?"
"Except for seeking death myself, I have never taken the initiative to harm anyone in the country," Zhou An said.
"Then where do the elixirs, magic weapons, and techniques you need for your cultivation come from? If you want to survive the sixth level of heavenly tribulation, you must have advanced techniques and at least a mid-grade spiritual weapon, as well as the assistance of some rare and precious elixirs. It's impossible to get all of these without fighting for them." said the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
Zhou An smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a gift from heaven."
The King of Ten Thousand Demons absolutely did not believe it, but Hua Wu Yue believed it a little. Zhou An entered the Ten Thousand Demons Forest with her and found many treasures. It seemed that he could easily get opportunities that others could only encounter once in a lifetime.
Zhou An smiled and said, "King of Ten Thousand Monsters, I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"
"Please speak, big brother." The King of Ten Thousand Demons replied immediately.
"Since you can't do it with a clear conscience, then make up for your own heart. There are demons and evil spirits rampant in the Qianyuan Empire. The Demon Suppression Bureau only helped you catch demons before, and did not do its best to protect the people. I want you to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau to bring blessings to all believers in the world. As long as you do enough, you will be rewarded with merits from heaven, and that will make up for it, and it will also be of great benefit to your tribulation." Zhou An said.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons already knew that Zhou An was the emperor, and he had mentioned this matter when he first arrived this time.
He had already thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow Big Brother's arrangements. Can it really be a merit?"
Zhou An laughed and said, "I am the true emperor. As long as you perform great deeds, I will grant you merits."
Upon hearing this, the King of Ten Thousand Demons was dumbfounded again. This was not something that a mortal could do. Even the innate ten great masters who had survived the nine heavenly tribulations could not have such ability.
Zhou An released the true dragon energy, and the golden dragon circled and echoed with the way of heaven. He looked at him and said, "I am the true son of heaven. The imperial edict can lead the way of heaven. It's just that the true dragon energy of the previous emperors was too thin, and the founding emperor did not understand this imperial way.
But even if I can confer the title, the prerequisite is that you must do great deeds that benefit the people, and then I can give you the title and reward."
These words stunned the King of Ten Thousand Demons and Hua Wu Yue. This was completely beyond their comprehension.
Zhou An put away his true dragon energy and said, "If you don't believe me, just pretend I never said anything."

"No, as your younger brother, I will definitely believe what you say. I will call us younger brothers right away to follow you to the Demon Suppression Bureau." How could the King of Ten Thousand Demons let go of this opportunity? He really had no other choice.
If there was any other way, he could have hidden here for three hundred years. He was so desperate because he was too afraid of the nine-fold heavenly tribulation. In addition, he had great trust in the Seven Illusion Demon Lord. The two of them could definitely be called true brothers. Otherwise, the Seven Illusion Demon Lord would not have left the method of using the Spiritual Demon Pupil in the City of Ten Thousand Demons.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons flew back to the city to gather his men. Hua Wu Yue asked, "The King of Ten Thousand Demons is famous in the world of immortal cultivation. Will his becoming the commander of the Demon Suppression Division cause any irritation to the righteous path?"
"So what? I am the emperor, not them. Do I need their consent to arrange staff for my department?" Zhou An said this calmly, but Hua Wu Yue was shocked and could not calm down for a long time.
Sometimes she really wondered if Zhou An had a split personality. Normally, he was like a rogue and looked at her with a bit of lust, but sometimes he made her feel his aura that made people submit to him.
This time, Zhou An completed the tribulation, and this feeling was even more obvious.
Ten minutes later, the King of Ten Thousand Demons flew back, and all the big demons in the Ten Thousand Demons City followed him out. These were his disciples and his direct followers.
"Everyone come here. This is my eldest brother, the emperor of the Qianyuan Empire. I have to listen to his words. Do you understand?" The King of Ten Thousand Demons shouted.
These great demons were all surprised and looked at each other. The five disciples of the Ten Thousand Demon King were the first to kneel down and shouted in unison: "Your Highness."
Soon, other big monsters knelt down and saluted. The lowest of these monsters was at the first level of innateness, and the five most powerful ones were already at the sixth level of innateness. They were all preparing to overcome the tribulation.
"Get up, the King of Ten Thousand Demons has already told you, now go to the Demon Suppression Bureau." Zhou An put on the Taizu mask, flew towards Qianjing on his sword, and more than a hundred demons followed behind him.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons left with his group of demons, which surprised the other demon kings in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. The King of Ten Thousand Demons had not left for three hundred years, which made them all curious about what had happened.
