"Daoist Lord of the Void Emperor?"
"Demon Sect Leader?"
Where did this Innate Divine Being come from?
Countless divine beings across myriad Tao domains are calculating the true identity of the [Demon Sect Leader].
Since the Creation of Heaven and Earth, this is the first time a divine being has dared to establish a Great Sect in the Primordial True Realm.
In the past, all gods operated in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, extremely cautious about stepping onto the grand stage of the Primordial True Realm.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Path is so bold, conducting significant affairs so openly.
During the times of demonic chaos, the Demon Ancestor established the Demon Realm, illuminating All Heavens; and now this Demon Sect Leader has established a Great Sect, seemingly wanting the entirety of Primordial to be aware of the existence of the Demon Sect.
"With demonic chaos before and the Demon Sect now, can we even live peacefully?" Unlike the excited divine beings who stir trouble, those content with a mundane life complained loudly.
We, the gods who just want to live honestly in the Primordial, why can't this world stay calm?
"Primordial is really going to change!" The greatest Day God of the entire True Realm—Xuan Turtle has woken up again, hardly having peaceful sleep these days.
"Demon, why is it always demons?" Immortals from the Immortal Dao Universe are headache-ridden as they watch their old rival, the Demon Path, make another significant move.
"Indeed, the recent aura of tribulation proved it!"
"Something big is indeed happening in Primordial!" Divine beings from various Taoist sites on the Western Land got excited, linking the establishment of the Demon Sect with the previous tribulation that enveloped the skies.
"Who is this, stealing all the limelight?" Shen Ni stood in Kai Ming Mountain, looking toward the vast Demonic Qi near Sumeru Mountain, extremely envious.
Why am I not the one doing such attention-grabbing deeds?
For a divine being keen on wreaking havoc, nothing is more joyful than witnessing a momentous event that shocks Primordial.
And the saddest thing is, never being the protagonist in such significant events!
Spreading across Primordial, how domineering, why didn't I think of that?
"The Western Land seems too permissive!" From atop the Kirin Holy Cliff, the Primordial Qilin gazed far away, feeling that the Western Land with its fierce beasts and demonic chaos was truly a land of vice.
Xuanqing's move to establish the Demon Sect and its proclamation across Primordial left many divine beings uneasy, feeling there was more than meets the eye.
Indeed, Xuanqing did not rest on his laurels after announcing the establishment of the Great Sect.
On the contrary, it was just the beginning.
"Primordial has demons, the Great Dao flourishes; all beings face tribulations, and through trials, they become True; not only will my Demon Sect soon open its Mountain Gate widely to accept disciples, but it will also dedicate to constructing the Demon Tribulation, integrating it properly with all beings and corresponding with all gods."
Atop Sumeru Mountain, Xuanqing in the name of the Demon Sect Leader, grandly announced his plans to the world.
"From now on, the cultivators of the myriad paths in Primordial, during cultivation, will face assessments from the Demon Tribulation, first the minor demons, then the great demons, followed by tests from the Demon Kings.
Through thousands of trials and tribulations, all beings will seek their true cultivation.
Thus, longevity is expected, ascension is in sight, and the Great Dao sought after!"
As soon as Xuanqing finished speaking, the collective gods were stunned.
Establishing a Demon Tribulation to test all beings?
Pangu's axe, is this even making sense?!
However, regardless of whether the gods agree or not, Xuanqing continued to declare:
"Minor demons will oversee the minor trials of the Demon Tribulation."
"To test virtue, assigning evil tasks, novice scholars unparalleled.
In the world, there are beasts, scaled and feathered creatures all capable of transforming into minor demons to test the Tao; their form and spirit dependent on the heart, appearing as desired."
What?
Beasts, scaled and feathered creatures?!
The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan were all shaken, glaring toward the West.
Did we agree to this? You've just arranged minor demon positions for us?
Watch out, we might sue you for defamation!
Who planned to join your Demon Sect!
Before the Innate Three Clans could even respond, Xuanqing added: "These minor demons can also transform into external demons, taking the form of immortals, deluding beings. Cultivators must rectify these thoughts, must not fall into them, pass the trials, and ascend to immortal status."
Upon these words, the Immortals from the Immortal Dao Plane exploded.
"Slander! This is slander!"
"We immortals live quietly and freely, how do we have the leisure to bring chaos to all beings!"
"Heresy disrupts our proper law! Unfilial!"
"Turning into an immortal through demonic means, are you a demon or an immortal?"
"Whether we immortals should ascend or not, is it for the Demon Sect to decide? Not only do you want to elevate a group of demons, but also a group of immortals?"
Hearing the proclamation of the Demon Sect Leader, the immortals couldn't maintain their calm demeanor; they were infuriated.
Slandering our image as immortals is one thing, but to try to control the progression channel of immortals?
Do you think you are the leader of our Immortal Dao?
And this time, Xuanqing planned something grand, he continued: "The trials by Great Demons, ever-changing, ultimately categorize into ten types."
"Namely: Heaven, Earth, Man, Divine, Ghost; Yin, Yang, Illness, Monster, Realm!"
"These ten types of Great Demons encompass all heavens, roam the cosmos, respond with inspiration, and test all beings."
As Xuanqing's voice fell, the thirty-three layers of the Heavenly Demon Tower released boundless Qi Fortune, enveloping outer sect disciples like Meng Huai and Fu Zhu.
In an instant, rolling demonic Qi ascended, each disciple transformed into a Trial Demon, establishing their standards and classified among the ten categories, their presences escalating step by step, shaking all heavens.
"The trials by Demon Kings, focusing on merit, investigating karma, elevating all beings, recommending ascension!"
Xuanqing issued another decree:
"Feitian Demon King, overseeing the comparison of sins of all spirits in the Mortal World."
With a thunderous sound, the Great Dao True Realm saw a Demon King descend, wearing a horizontal jade crown, holding the Demon King's Mysterious Chapter, and with a Dragon Head Sword hanging by his side, his presence spectacular.
"Spiritual Sky Demon King, overseeing the increase and decrease of merits of great cultivators in the world."
The Bright Demon Gods descended upon his word, also donned in Demon King attire, clutching the Xuanhuang Treasure, able to inspect the merits of all beings.
"Taixuan Demon King, serving as the celestial inspector for our Demon Sect, overseeing all demonic tests!"
Upon this decree, the Qi Fortune descended, and a blood-red light fell in the Great Dao True Realm.
Ming River arrived with overwhelming killing intent, smiling faintly towards the four void directions: "From now on, I shall be the examiner for All Gods and All Holy Ones!"
A Demon Tribulation also has an examiner?
Such a thing was unheard of and unseen by the gods.
"Heavenly Control Demon King, serving as the deputy inspector of our Demon Sect, overseeing the recommendation of ascension for all beings!"
As the decree was issued again, Qi Fortune descended, Guang Chengzi blessed with an understanding heart, manifested the Demon King's Dharma Form, holding the Jade Chime, taking seven steps around, and singing loudly the Demon King Cave Chapter.
"There are also Four Great Demon Kings, governing the dark names of all gods, hidden names of all spirits, and the list of all beings."
"They are Wuying, Bai Yuan, Tao Kang, He Yan!"
As these words fell, four beams of mysterious light shone in the darkness.
Inside Kunlun Void, [Goddess Qing Xiao] Nu Qing sensed something, a bit of True Spirit flew into the sky, responding to [Bai Yuan Demon King].
In Netherworld, Wuyou smilingly responded to the title of [Wuying Demon King].
In front of the Ghost Gate, the Divine Peach Tree gladly accepted the title of [Tao Kang Demon King].
In the Naihe Realm, Wangchuan accepted the position of [He Yan Demon King].
Xuanqing continuously issued decrees, bestowing titles on various demons.
In the Demon Realm, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou looked down upon the Mortal World, seeing the demonic Qi above Sumeru Mountain becoming more vast and the Qi Fortune getting increasingly profound.
He was delighted: "Very good, very good!"
Meanwhile, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun in White Jade City watched the flourishing situation of the Demon Sect, shaking his head and sighing: "Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
Yang Mei stood beside, asking him: "Old Dao, what do you plan to do?"
"What to do?"
Hong Jun smiled and said: "The West seems too liberal!"
"They need their spirit quelled!"
