362: All forces attended the meeting, Fa Wuhai's thoughts

The Demon Suppression Division, responsible for suppressing all demons in the world, though it has declined, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Its every move affects the entire Great Chu.

And this assessment saw the emergence of a peerless Genius, someone with the potential to advance to the Rongtian Realm in the future. Now, with invitations widely distributed, it's impossible for it not to cause a sensation.

This grand ceremony serves two purposes: celebration, and deterrence and probing.

Those invited include not only the major powers of the Imperial Capital but also Righteous Path Schools and reclusive great clans who are on good terms with the Demon Suppression Division.

No one on the Demon Suppression Division's invitation list is simple.

Of course, some second and third-rate forces who proactively came, after review, could also enter, but they could only observe the ceremony from the outermost periphery.

Countless mounts, treasure ships, and flying boats, radiating brilliant light, soared from various locations, their destination directly the Imperial Capital.

Medicine King Valley, one of the Ten Righteous Sects of the world, possesses profound heritage and a long Legacy, producing the best Medicinal Pills and Alchemists in the world.

"Oh, it's the Sun and Moon Pill Furnace banner of Medicine King Valley! Pill King Ling Xuzi, Pill King, is actually attending in person, and Dan Chen, one of Medicine King Valley's two direct disciples, is she going too?"

"The Demon Suppression Division and Medicine King Valley have an unbreakable relationship and have always been on good terms. Most of the Demon Suppression Division's Medicinal Pills are supplied by Medicine King Valley. They are almost always regular guests at every Lord Shao Si's succession ceremony... However, this is the first time they've brought their direct disciple to offer congratulations!"

"I heard the new Lord Shao Si is a peerless Genius. Medicine King Valley's action might be an attempt to find a Dao Companion for their own direct disciple?"

"That makes sense!"

If Medicine King Valley could form a marriage alliance with the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, the relationship between the two families would become even closer.

Although most people had never met Chu Jiang, his status as Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division alone was enough to make many major forces and Daughters of Heaven flock to him.

If one could be favored by the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, their future would undoubtedly be boundless, and the power behind him would also rise.

Moreover, rumors described Chu Jiang as handsome, imposing, and possessing an extraordinary temperament, which made him even more attractive.

Therefore, many invited forces brought their own Daughters of Heaven to the banquet to try their luck.

Bixiao Palace and Xuanqing Sect, also among the Ten Righteous Sects, also departed their Sects, each riding their Magic Treasures and mounts.

"The last time the Demon Suppression Division held such a grand succession ceremony was for Yuan Shouyi a thousand years ago. The Demon Suppression Division truly places great hope in Chu Jiang..."

Guangming Temple, one of the Ten Righteous Sects, also had a golden kasaya soaring into the sky, disappearing into the heavens, heading towards the Demon Suppression Division.

"I heard Chu Jiang is incredibly talented. Heavenly Secrets Pavilion ranked him first on the Prodigy List a few days ago. This Buddhist Monk wants to see what makes him worthy of that position!"

On the golden kasaya, a handsome young monk chuckled, his eyes seeming to faintly glow with Buddhist light.

The Prodigy List is a ranking established by Heavenly Secrets Pavilion for Prodigies under a hundred years old, compiling young Prodigies from various major forces.

Countless people are proud to be on this list.

"Buddhist Monk, our purpose in this trip is to investigate the true capabilities of the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division. We cannot seriously injure him, otherwise, those old men from the Demon Suppression Division will not let you off!"

"For this matter, we should try not to get involved directly. Let others do it!"

To one side, a white-bearded old monk warned sternly.

"Xuan Kong, I know the limits. This fellow can't even withstand one of my attacks, can he?"

The young monk smiled faintly.

His name is Fa Wu Hai, a top Prodigy of Guangming Temple, ranked among the top five on the Prodigy List.

He possesses the top-tier Physique, Sarira Embryo. He grasps profound Buddhist teachings with ease, facing virtually no obstacles in his Cultivation.

Now, he has Cultivated several Buddhist teachings to the Transcendent. The position of number one on the Prodigy List should be his.

Xuan Kong shook his head slightly. Although Fa Wu Hai is the Buddhist Monk of Guangming Temple, his six senses are impure. Greed, hatred, and delusion—he has violated all six Buddhist precepts except for not stealing, killing, engaging in sexual misconduct, lying, drinking, and gluttony.

Yet, such an evil person, coincidentally, was born with the Sarira Embryo, a phenomenon seen only once in a thousand years in Buddhism.

Given enough time, there's a one percent chance he could advance to the Rongtian Realm.

The probability is low, but it's worth a gamble.

...

Imperial Capital, outside the Demon Suppression Division.

Countless birds and beasts, various exotic mounts, covered the sky, pulling luxurious carriages as they descended.

Huge battleships hovered in the sky outside the Imperial Capital.

The Demon Suppression Division's gates were wide open, welcoming guests from all directions.

Everything was orderly. No one dared to cause trouble at the succession ceremony, unless he was tired of living.

"Medicine King Valley arrives, presenting gifts: ten fifth-grade Medicinal Pills—Dragon Elephant Pills, and ten seventh-turn Soul Origin Pills!"

"Medicine King Valley is truly generous! These seventh-turn Soul Origin Pills, even among fifth-grade, are considered top-tier and can greatly increase Soul power!" Some major forces discussed, it is indeed an Alchemy force, their generosity is evident.

"Guangming Temple arrives, presenting gifts: one fifth-grade Great Rejuvenation Pill!"

"Xuanqing Sect arrives, presenting gifts: one fifth-grade Heavenly Sun Fruit!"

"Standard. Xuanqing Sect is considered the poorest among the Ten Righteous Sects. Being able to offer a fifth-grade fruit is already a high standard!"

Someone commented. In truth, a fifth-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure is a rare item anywhere.

It's just that there were too many major forces present, making it seem slightly less impressive.

However, Guangming Temple is famously wealthy among the Ten Righteous Sects. To only give one fifth-grade Medicinal Pill is truly shabby.

The announcements continued, with various rare treasures presented in turn.

"Miao Territory Saintess, presents..."

The Demon Suppression Guard responsible for announcing the gifts looked strangely at the stunning figure before him. Her figure was graceful, and every step exuded an irresistible charm.

"What are you looking at? Do you think this Saintess's gift isn't grand enough?"

The stunning figure wore a tight-fitting red dress, her long, beautiful legs faintly visible, every movement captivating.

"Miao Territory Saintess, presents gifts: one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones!"

The Demon Suppression Guard shouted loudly. Everyone else offered various rare treasures, but she directly gave one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones.

However, the other party was a person of status, so they couldn't stop her from entering.

"What a beautiful woman!"

"Damn, the Miao Territory Saintess! To come from so far away, this is truly a rare sight. Does such a beauty also have to throw herself at the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division? It's really infuriating to compare oneself to others!" Many young Prodigies were indignant, feeling that they were no worse than Chu Jiang.

First, Dan Chen, the direct disciple of Medicine King Valley, and now a Miao Territory Saintess.

Can't they leave one for them?

The stunning figure was not Saintess Yue Ruyin, but Yue Xuanji. The two of them were ninety percent similar in appearance, almost indistinguishable.

She came here, naturally, to evade the pursuit of the Miao Territory Elder Council.

One hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones was already one-third of her possessions.

She was now as poor as a church mouse.

In the distance.

"What a beautiful girl, she's exciting, she's mine!"

Fa Wu Hai flashed a lewd smile, his mind already wandering.

"Alas!"

This was the eighth woman Fa Wu Hai had taken a fancy to at the ceremony. As long as they had some beauty, they were all his.

Xuan Kong shook his head. Those people from the Miao Territory Elder Council were all lunatics and should not be easily provoked.

However, their Saintess never easily left Southern Xinjiang, so why would she travel such a long distance to the Imperial Capital? It truly is strange.
