169: Demon Master, Demon Literature

Heavenly Court.

Streaks of golden light gathered, and many visions were on the verge of appearing.

The creation of the Demon Script had reached its final step.

Kunpeng put aside his other thoughts; he needed to grasp the Opportunity before him immediately.

Kunpeng took a deep breath, his eyes slightly closed, as his Yao Qi surged like a tide around him.

A wisp of essence blood condensed at his fingertip, slowly sketching in the Void Realm.

With every stroke that fell, a character of the Demon Script took shape, emitting a dao rhyme unique to the "Yao".

It contained the power of the Yao Race Bloodline Origin; even the weakest Yao could feel the resonance within their blood.

As the number of Demon Script characters increased, the power of Karma surrounding Kunpeng grew more abundant.

The he tu luo book hovered above his head, projecting thousands of laws that cross-referenced with the Demon Script.

Fuxi assisted from the side, occasionally intervening to help correct flaws within the Demon Script.

One by one, the Demon Script characters were born, and the heavens and earth suddenly changed color.

Three thousand Demon Script characters formed a perfect cycle in the Void Realm, flickering with different lights, representing the various Bloodline branches of the Yao Race.

Suddenly, a pillar of golden light crashed down from the Nine Heavens; it was the golden light of Karma descended by the Heavenly Dao's resonance.

This golden light split into two: eighty percent entered Kunpeng's body, while twenty percent went to Fuxi.

The Yao Qi around Kunpeng's body boiled, and under the baptism of the Karma power, his cultivation rose steadily.

In the great hall, Dijun suddenly looked up; the abnormal movement of the he tu luo book made him realize instantly what had happened.

"The position of Demon Master belongs to Kunpeng!"

He announced loudly, and the Zhou Tian Star Dou responded; the three hundred and sixty-five primary stars simultaneously projected starlight to crown the newly ascended Demon Master.

Kunpeng felt the surging power within him and the mysterious connection to the Yao Race Luck.

Every Demon Script character he created became a bond between him and the Yao Race.

From then on, whenever a member of the Yao Race learned or used these characters, a sliver of Luck would feed back to him.

The various Yao of the Heavenly Court rushed over to witness the ceremony, and looking at the three thousand Demon Script characters floating in the air, all were filled with awe.

These characters sometimes transformed into birds and sometimes into beasts, displaying the most primal forms of the Yao Race.

Baize was the first to bow: "Greetings, Demon Master!"

Immediately after, thousands of Yao shouted in unison, truly giving Kunpeng a satisfying taste of authority.

Dijun also descended in person, bestowing the demon master flag engraved with Zhou Tian star patterns upon Kunpeng.

This flag not only represented the honorable status of the Demon Master but also symbolized his authority to mobilize part of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

From then on, Kunpeng's status in the Heavenly Court was second only to Dijun, Taiyi, and Fuxi, making him the number four figure of the Yao Race.

Having first obtained Karma and then a treasure, Kunpeng said nothing more and immediately entered secluded cultivation.

He wanted to absorb this Opportunity and then go find a certain someone to vent his frustration.

Not long after, Kunpeng had a premonition and broke out of his seclusion.

He circled the Heavenly Court a few times, waving the demon master flag in his hand, drawing in a gathering of astral power.

After laughing a few times, his heart stirred, and a cold light appeared in his eyes as he followed the path toward the Southern Land.

"It would have been fine if you stayed hidden, but since you've come out so openly, you can't blame me!"

...

The Ginseng Fruit Tree of Wuzhuang Temple had ripened time and time again.

Zhenyuanzi also discovered with surprise that since Qing Wu's last visit, this old tree seemed to have found a second spring.

Not only had the quality of the fruit improved, but he even vaguely felt it had grown quite a bit taller.

He realized this old tree had certainly obtained quite an Opportunity.

Thus, he wanted to have the two boys under his command deliver some ginseng fruit for them to taste.

The last few times they came, they didn't seem very interested in the ginseng fruit.

This time, the new flavor might interest them.

Qingfeng and Mingyue received Zhenyuanzi's command and set off with a pocket full of ginseng fruit.

When Hongyun heard he could go out for a stroll, he actually followed Qingfeng and Mingyue out of Wuzhuang Temple.

After they had walked a distance, he took the task upon himself.

Qingfeng and Mingyue naturally didn't dare to compete with him and could only return to report to Zhenyuanzi.

To this, Zhenyuanzi could only give a soft sigh.

He knew his old friend had been cooped up for too long, and the desire to go out could no longer be suppressed.

He couldn't exactly steal the job of two children, though.

But since things had come to this, he could only hope Hongyun would go and return quickly.

At first, Hongyun also headed directly toward the Immortal Volcano.

But unsurprisingly, as he wandered, Hongyun's attention was drawn by the Opportunities scattered throughout the Great Desolation.

Stopping here and looking there, the matter of delivering the ginseng fruit was no longer urgent.

Just as Hongyun was slowly floating above the clouds, performing the Gathering and Dispersing at Will Divine Ability to absorb and comprehend the many clouds...

The surrounding environment suddenly changed; starlight gathered, dispersing all the clouds in this part of the world, leaving Hongyun with no cover, thus exposing him.

The moment Hongyun saw this starlight appear, he immediately realized he was trapped here.

With a bit of thought, he knew who was plotting against him in the shadows.

Who else could it be but Kunpeng, with whom he had a grudge.

However, against Kunpeng alone, he was not afraid.

He reached out to push aside the various rays of starlight and spoke: "Is the newcomer Fellow Daoist Kunpeng?"

"Why not reveal yourself and meet!"

"Jie jie jie..." A series of sinister laughs came from the Void Realm.

Kunpeng's figure abruptly revealed itself.

"It really is Fellow Daoist Kunpeng. I wonder what your explanation is for keeping me here?"

"If there is no important matter, please allow this old Daoist to leave."

"I still have to deliver ginseng fruit to two Fellow Daoists."

Hongyun said unhurriedly, without the slightest sense of crisis.

Looking at the calm Hongyun, Kunpeng's face immediately turned cold.

After all, Hongyun had fallen into the Starlight Formation he had carefully arranged, yet he still acted as if it were nothing.

Don't look down on people!

"Hongyun, today you won't get away. I said so."

"Hurry up and hand over your treasures, and give me the ginseng fruit as well."

"Then, I will send you on your way!"

Yielding the seat in Zixiao Palace back then had clearly caused the two to form a significant Karma.

To this, Hongyun could only give a soft sigh.

He hadn't gained any benefits himself, yet he was hated by Kunpeng.

He had clearly yielded to him at every turn, but the other party showed no gratitude at all and insisted on putting him to death.

This time, he would not yield.

Pulling out a gourd, he shouted, "Kunpeng, if I call your name, do you dare to answer!"

Kunpeng was also stunned; what was this guy up to, acting like this all of a sudden?

But he still subconsciously answered, "I am right here, what can you do?"

This shout was merely a delaying tactic; by the time Kunpeng answered, Hongyun had already successfully activated the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Red Gourd in his hand.

The gourd opened, and endless Soul-Scattering Red Sand poured out from it all at once.

Kunpeng clearly hadn't expected that Hongyun, who was known as a nice guy, would actually perform such a sneak attack.

In his carelessness, he had already lost the initiative and could only use the demon master flag to call upon the Starlight Formation for defense.
