Meng Huai, the great achiever of the Heavenly Dao, has always been the most restless one in the Taisha Heavenly Palace.
And this time, the Demon Sect was naturally his masterpiece.
"Just reduced your sentence, and you're causing trouble again?" Xuanqing looked at Meng Huai, every time he came to the Taisha Heavenly Palace, he would see him stirring up trouble, and never repeating the same trick twice.
Meng Huai whined from within Hell, he loudly declared, "Heaven and Earth as my witness, Sect Hierarch, this really has nothing to do with me!"
"It's all voluntary by the brother disciples."
"That's right, that's right, it was our own decision to form the Demon Sect!" The inmates from various hells echoed Meng Huai's words.
"We sincerely believe that the path of the Demon Path has boundless prospects and is glorious and bright, desiring it from our hearts. Thus, under the proposal of Daoist Meng Huai, we formed the Demon Sect right here!"
Still saying it's not you?
Xuanqing glanced at the innocent-acting Meng Huai and shook his head, "Demon Ancestor has Holy Virtue, mastering the Saintly Virtue Heavenly Dao, even if he were to establish a sect, he would prefer to call it the Holy Sect."
"Demon Ancestor? What Demon Ancestor?"
Meng Huai chuckled, "Our establishment of the Demon Sect has nothing to do with the Demon Ancestor."
He looked towards the other hells and asked loudly, "Brother disciples, tell the Sect Hierarch, who is the supreme deity of our Demon Sect?"
"Primordial Heavenly Demon!" the disciples shouted in unison, their voices thundering.
"Do you hear that, Sect Hierarch!" Meng Huai, with tears brimming in his eyes, looked at Xuanqing:
"From now on in the Primordial Heaven and Earth, we are disciples of the Outer Sect of Chan Sect; in the Netherworld, we are disciples of the Netherworld Holy Sect; and in the Demon Realm, we shall regard ourselves as followers of the Demon Sect!"
"Our Demon Sect is united in dedication, sincerely supporting you as the Demon Sect Leader!"
"The Demon Ancestor was just an accident."
"You are the heaven of our Demon Sect."
"Just as the saying goes: There is but one sun in the sky, and but one lord over the divine!"
"All of us Outer Sect disciples declare in unison: In our hearts, there is only one sun, our Sect Hierarch!"
What is all this?
Heaven? Sun? Where did they learn all this?
Chan Sect, Netherworld Sect, Demon Sect, have you combined all three into one?
Xuanqing looked at Meng Huai with annoyance and said, "You really are a genius in mischief!"
Meng Huai perked up, overjoyed, "Thank you for the compliment, Sect Hierarch!"
"I will continue to strive and aim to lead my junior brothers and sisters to greater heights!"
As a grandmaster of the performance of the Heavenly Dao, Meng Huai has no sense of shame, and always ready to climb higher.
"Thinking of striving further?" Xuanqing stared at Meng Huai and then suddenly smiled.
"There will be opportunities."
"Really?!" Meng Huai's eyes widened with joy arising from his heart.
Making trouble without being punished, the Sect Hierarch actually plans to support!
He knew that Xuanqing never spoke lightly; saying there would be opportunities meant there definitely would be.
Fu Zhu, sitting in Hell, was originally waiting for Xuanqing to punish Meng Huai. Instead, Xuanqing just laughed it off and even implied that Meng Huai was doing well!
Could it be that only by making trouble can one survive in the Taisha Heavenly Palace?
"Then have I gone wrong with all my heart turned into a Ghost God?"
Fu Zhu fell into deep self-doubt.
Xuanqing headed towards the Inner Universe.
As he passed by the B Universe's eighth containment station, [Chaos Heavenly Dao] let out a strange laugh.
"Chaos! Chaos!" Seeing Xuanqing coming, [Chaos Heavenly Dao] got very excited, jumping up and down inside the containment, its plump sphere of light emitting a dim glow.
"Charcoal, what are you shouting for? So annoying!" In Universe B9, the incarcerated [Evil Heavenly Dao] was quite discontent, shouting:
"Was it just a stroll outside? What's there to be so proud of?"
"Day in and day out, just shouting!"
[Chaos Heavenly Dao]'s mood was spoiled by the interruption, so it mocked [Evil Heavenly Dao] with a sound:
"Lililili~"
"Hey, I'm losing my temper here!" [Evil Heavenly Dao] exploded immediately, banging against the cosmic barriers.
Seals were activated one after another, countless rules manifested in Universe B9, sprawling across the sky like divine chains.
"Humph!" [Evil Heavenly Dao] snorted, glaring warily at Xuanqing outside the bars, daring not to continue the commotion.
"This is more like it!" Xuanqing smiled at the sight of Evil Heavenly Dao, "You are all Heavenly Daos, and also fellow prisoners, you should love each other indeed!"
[Evil Heavenly Dao] immediately retorted, "Who loves him?"
"Lililili~~" [Chaos Heavenly Dao] continued its mockery.
In Universe B10, [Misfortune Heavenly Dao], no longer as down on his luck as when he first arrived, was in fairly good spirits, no longer withdrawn, and now able to communicate normally.
Watching the bickering between the two prison mates, [Misfortune Heavenly Dao] sneered with disdain, "A pair of dull minds!"
"Who are you calling a dull mind, you unfortunate guy!" [Evil Heavenly Dao] was angered.
"Chaos! Chaos!"
The two Heavenly Daos just mocking each other suddenly united against a common foe.
They began targeting [Misfortune Heavenly Dao], frantically dishing out.
Seeing this scene, Xuanqing laughed, "Isn't this loving each other?"
Taking his leave from Universe B, Xuanqing continued deeper.
Just as he stepped into Universe A, he heard the loud voice of the Dark Demon God.
"Brightness, Brightness, how did you get in here?"
"Brightness, weren't you determined to break into the Primordial True Realm?"
"Brightness, tell me about Infinite Universe, how did the Greedy Demon God trick you?"
"Brightness, you know? You should thank me for getting in here, I was the one who asked Emperor Youming to grab you!"
"Quick, come thank me!"
Since the Bright Demon God entered the Taisha Heavenly Palace, the Dark Demon God's good days began.
He was locked in the sunless Taisha Heavenly Palace, the only companion he could converse with was Xuanqing, and Xuanqing rarely visited. This led to a dreadfully dull and monotonous life in the Dark Demon God's prison.
Every day, he would either match wits and bravery with the Hell of Boiling Oil or reenact grand epics in his own spiritual world—essentially playing with himself.
But with the presence of light, things were different; he was finally able to communicate with someone else!
"Can you shut up!" The Bright Demon God, situated in A Universe No. 4, had no desire to deal with the Dark Demon God, but the latter's incessant babbling was hard to ignore.
"I just don't understand, the Hell of Boiling Oil has intensified, shouldn't you be busy fighting it? Where do you find all this energy?" The Bright Demon God had planned to sleep through another Epoch before awakening.
But to his surprise, Xuanqing came to his rescue.
Though he was locked up in Taisha Heavenly Palace, at least he wasn't lying as a corpse in the Space-Time River or at the mercy of Pangu's Axe since the beginning of Heaven Creation.
Thus, initially, the Bright Demon God was quite grateful to Xuanqing.
After all, the latter even avenged him and nailed the coffin of Infinite Heavenly Venerate.
But the existence of the Dark Demon God made the Bright Demon God feel he might as well have gone back to the Space-Time River for some peace.
"I'm full of energy because of you!" The Dark Demon God chuckled: "In the past, it was only me suffering and enduring torment, although later there were the remnants of Spiritual Wisdom and Destruction, yet these two guys couldn't communicate!"
"You are the one with complete Spiritual Wisdom!"
"I suffer and endure torment, and so do you; my hell has been intensified, so has yours; we share all the emotions, I'm no longer bearing it all alone."
"How could I not be happy?"
"Hahahaha!"
Thinking that the Bright Demon God was confined here because of him made the Dark Demon God's spirits rise even higher.
"You really deserve to die!" The Bright Demon God was gritting his teeth at the Dark Demon God.
Harming others does not benefit oneself, typical of the Dark Demon God!
"I am already a god who has died several times, it does not bother me at all." The Dark Demon God laughed brightly.
"Would you mind dying a few more times then?" Xuanqing suddenly appeared in front of the Dark Demon God, startling him.
"I mind, hugely mind!" The Dark Demon God shook his head frantically, not daring to continue along Xuanqing's line of questioning.
Watching this scene, the Bright Demon God scoffed with amusement: "And here I thought you were afraid of nothing."
The Dark Demon God did not reply.
Apart from Pangu and Xuanqing, he truly feared no one.
But the former was invincibly powerful and lethal; the latter was unscrupulous and even more deadly!
Darker in heart than a Dark Demon God himself.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was born in the Chaos Era, the title of Dark Demon God would have to be given to Xuanqing, relegating himself to the kids' table.
"Daoist friend, don't be so wary of me."
Xuanqing laughed: "I have always been kind and am renowned across the Primordial for it."
A tombstone, you mean… The Dark Demon God remained alert, certain that Xuanqing was up to something; otherwise, why visit the prison?
"There is a Creation task needing the help of Daoist friend. Are you in?" Indeed, Xuanqing cut straight to the point: "It's simple, just to give a show of strength for our Demon Sect."
"A show of strength?" The expression of the Bright Demon God shifted.
"Yes!" Xuanqing looked at him, smiling: "If the Bright Daoist friend is also willing, you can come."
"I am planning to establish a sect in the Western Land soon, and I need a few capable vice sect hierarchs."
"You two Daoist friends are the candidates I am favoring."
"Establish a sect?"
The Dark Demon God hesitated: "What's in it for me?"
"Qi Fortune!" Seeing the Dark Demon God biting, Xuanqing's smiled even broader: "Being a vice sect hierarch in the Demon Sect brings great Qi Fortune!"
"How about it, are you in?"
Great Qi Fortune?
The Dark Demon God was tempted.
"Any downsides?" he still wasn't at ease.
"Very minor."
Xuanqing said: "It's just that someone might crash the party, and then the vice sect hierarchs would have to step in, just try not to get beaten to death."
"That's it?" The Dark Demon God was somewhat surprised; getting beaten to death barely counted as a downside!
The Bright Demon God, seeing the eager Dark Demon God, thought for a moment: "I might go take a look."
"But I have one condition."
"Please speak!" Xuanqing looked earnestly at the Bright Demon God.
"I want to visit the Divine Court." The Bright Demon God clarified, fearing Xuanqing might misunderstand: "I won't do anything else, just visiting."
"I want to see where I fell short!"
"No problem!"
Xuanqing agreed.
"Both Daoist friends, follow me." Xuanqing allowed Taisha Heavenly Palace to loosen its suppression on the Demon Gods.
Light and darkness were instantly liberated.
"I am finally free, hahaha!"
The Dark Demon God laughed endlessly.
Beside him, the Bright Demon God smirked slightly: "Free? Look who's in the Hell of Boiling Oil?"
Ah?
The Dark Demon God turned around to look, only to see another figure soaking inside, looking exactly like him.
"Daoist friend, you're not keeping your word!" the Dark Demon God was furious.
Xuanqing was surprised: "Why would you say that?"
"I never agreed to release Daoist friend, did I?"
"After the task is done and you enjoy the Qi Fortune, Daoist friend still needs to come back for punishment."
"What?" The world went dark before the Dark Demon God's eyes.
So I am still on a paid imprisonment?
