"Not bad, Heavenly Court!" The Grand Elder's face shone with an unusual radiance, and his slightly hunched back straightened up.
"Is the Heavenly Court the one with so many gods in the legends?" Zu An asked tentatively, afraid that he might have misunderstood.
"Indeed, when the True Demon Ancestor established the Heavenly Court, he was a god revered by billions of living beings, with various immortals under his command and 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals traversing all realms..." The Grand Elder described these things with a tone full of respect.
As Zu An listened, he found it increasingly similar to the Heavenly Court he knew from his previous life, and he was equally shocked: "May I ask the name of the ancestor or what honorific title he had?"
Could it be the one I'm imagining?
The key question is, how did the Heavenly Court in mythology become connected to this world of demons?
"No one knows the name of the progenitor. At their level, if one's strength is insufficient, uttering his true name will bring destruction." The Grand Elder shook his head. "However, I know that everyone respectfully calls him the Heavenly Emperor."
"Heavenly Emperor?" Zu An frowned slightly. This name was too broad, making it difficult to glean more information.
He couldn't help but think of the secret realm in the Demon Clan's royal tomb, where he seemed to have come into contact with the Heavenly Court. At that time, there was also the crimson bow and white arrow bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor. He wondered if that Heavenly Emperor was the ancestor of the True Demon Clan.
Wait a minute, the demon world and the demon race are inextricably linked, and that secret realm is located in the demon race's royal tomb. Is it really just a coincidence?
"Indeed, even the Demon Lord is unaware of this matter. It is the most core secret of our True Demon Clan. You must remember not to reveal even a trace of it, otherwise our entire True Demon Clan will face annihilation." The Grand Elder warned again.
Zuan nodded; this secret was indeed quite shocking.
He originally just wanted to try his luck, but he never expected to get such a big surprise.
"So whether it's the Lord of Demons or the Lord of Slaughter, they are all fleeting clouds. Although they are strong, what are they compared to us noble True Demons?" The Grand Elder sneered repeatedly. "So what you need to do now is to search for the ruins of the Ancestor in that cultivation world, obtain the Ancestor's inheritance, and at the very least, obtain the method to awaken our bloodline, just like the method we used to awaken the bloodline of the demon race in the cultivation world. At that time, the strength of our True Demon race will increase dramatically, and we will not need to obey either the Lord of Demons or the Lord of Slaughter."
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, a hint of fanaticism in his eyes: "If we can obtain the true inheritance of the progenitor, or even awaken the progenitor's will, what is that doomsday beast that destroys the world outside!"
Zuan: "..."
Are there hardly any normal people in the demon world? They're all plotting bigger schemes than the last.
But the ancestral ruins they mentioned are actually in the cultivation world?
I don't know where it's hiding.
Now Zu'an felt the cultivation world was even more mysterious, not only having secret realms like the Netherworld, but also the ruins of the True Demon Ancestor.
Zuan then added, "However, this time, because I needed to avoid the regent of that world, I teleported back ahead of time and didn't gain anything of value."
"You also brought back the four Holy Maidens of the Demon Clan, how can you say they were worthless? Besides, you've sent back a lot of elemental stones and blood food these past few days, which has been a great help to the True Demon Clan." The First Elder patted his shoulder, comforting him.
When he touched Zuan's body, a glint flashed in his eyes. Although Adijiang's previous betrayal had been proven to be a misunderstanding, a seed of doubt remained in his heart.
Having previously escorted the young master to see the Demon Lord, and now deliberately touching his body to confirm that he was indeed a true demon, I was finally completely relieved.
Hmph, that traitor Adijiang deserves to die!
Zuan naturally realized that the other party was taking the opportunity to investigate his identity, but he was not worried at all.
The art of myriad transformations has no flaws in this regard.
Sure enough, after sensing that the other party had breathed a sigh of relief, he was completely at ease.
"There's still a problem. Because of this teleportation, the teleportation array was destroyed. Recreating a new array will require a lot of materials." Now, Zaun could confidently make his demands.
“Although there are various controls on resources now, our True Demon Clan can still gather most of the materials. However, a few key materials have already been used up in the previous teleportations, and the rest are in the Demon Lord's treasury, which will probably be difficult to obtain.” The Grand Elder frowned, clearly having a headache over this.
"That's why I contacted Salami's side; they have a way to get me into the vault," Zaun said in a deep voice.
“That’s a good idea,” the elder said, his eyes lighting up. “However, doing something like this is like asking a tiger for its skin; if you’re not careful, you could be doomed.”
"There's no other way now, we can only take the risk." Zuan comforted him, saying that now that the Demon Lord had made him a double agent, the matter wasn't actually that dangerous.
"What do Salame and the others want you to do by helping them?" the elder asked in a deep voice.
"Of course, we should help them investigate the whereabouts of the Lord of Slaughter, and ideally, help them free him from his seal." Zaun sighed inwardly. It was a pity that despite all the scheming of Salamemogad and his group, they had not expected that the Lord of Slaughter had already vanished, and their plans were destined to be in vain.
"Heh, as expected. However, you can help her appropriately, but don't get too involved. Although the Demon Lord's power is not what it used to be, if we really provoke his wrath, it's not something our True Demon Clan can withstand," the Grand Elder cautioned.
“I know what I’m doing,” Zuan then asked, “By the way, after this hasty teleportation, I suddenly realized that my skills in formations are somewhat lacking, and there are areas that need improvement…”
