As soon as his voice fell.
Outside the door.
A figure holding a scroll walked through the door.
With a tone carrying a bit of curiosity, the thought responsible for suppressing the Peak Demons within Ziwei Star spoke up: "What's causing such a commotion?"
"Hmm, the Celestial Heart just warned me, so I borrowed some power from the Ziwei Divine Prohibition. Don't mind it."
The commotion was expected!
Chen Zhixing in the Peak Realm, using the power of the Ziwei Divine Prohibition to control the Profound Celestial Mirror, this Longevity weapon, is basically akin to a living Longevity True Monarch wielding it.
At least on this Ziwei Mountain, Chen Zhixing can now contend with a Longevity True Monarch!
In such a situation, it's daring for the people of the Celestial Spider to take the risk and provoke him?!
"Uh..." Hearing Chen Zhixing's words, the Thought Incarnation blinked humanly, then reluctantly advised: "Let's discuss, you should conserve a bit. You've been extracting demon power too frequently lately, and those Great Demons are very dissatisfied. Some are no longer cooperating."
Chen Zhixing couldn't help but roll his eyes at this.
He suddenly seemed to remember something.
His pupils contracted abruptly.
"Which group of Great Demons is causing the problem?"
"Hmm, it seems you've realized, it's the group near Fang Cun. After all, they're the reincarnation of an ancestor, and have some minor tricks to seduce these Great Demons into betraying you, which is quite normal."
The Demon Suppression Thought began to ramble: "In my opinion, these Great Demons originally had no intention of betrayal. Having been imprisoned for so many years, they're used to it. Normally, they wouldn't be easily seduced by Fang Cun. But with your harsh actions, extracting demon power nearly a thousand times in two years, if they don't resist, they'll end up drained by you."
Chen Zhixing frowned: "Wasn't there a new batch of five Great Demons brought in by the Divine Liu recently?"
"Yes, but they can't withstand this kind of exploitation. Treating Peak Great Demons like phone batteries, draining them daily, no one can bear it."
The Demon Suppression Thought really felt something had to change.
It's responsible for suppressing demons, and its existence is meant to control the array of Great Demons within the Ziwei Divine Prohibition. However, it couldn't just watch its own entity push them to the breaking point.
This was increasing its workload!!!
"Alright, I understand now."
Chen Zhixing nodded, and in the next moment, another thought stepped out from his body, nonchalantly stepped forward, and left Ziwei Mountain.
The Demon Suppression Thought was speechless, feeling that its words just now were said in vain.
"Why split out another one?"
"I asked it to go to Divine Liu and request this year's Great Demon quota."
Speaking this, Chen Zhixing rubbed his temples, perhaps because his thoughts were stretched to the limit, even splitting one out to perform tasks was severely draining his mind.
The Demon Suppression Thought chuckled upon hearing this.
"So, we're getting new members, huh? Let me tell you, remember that Clam Spirit that was first brought back? Just her, these past months have been awful for her, heh heh, a dignified Peak Great Demon, yet she actually came to me yesterday to recommend herself as a pillow companion, hahaha, you should have seen her pitiful appearance..."
Chen Zhixing: "..."
His Demon Suppression Thought must have a problem!
With his understanding of the Ziwei Divine Prohibition deepening over the past two years, this Demon Suppression Thought seems to be transforming into the 'Array Spirit' of the Ziwei Divine Prohibition, becoming more humanized and even adopting strange 'personality' traits.
It was increasingly like a living person.
Creepy?
No such feeling.
Chen Zhixing found nothing wrong with this change, nor anything particularly strange. By reason, the Ziwei Divine Prohibition has existed on Ziwei Mountain for a full three thousand years, nurtured by abundant mana from the Demon Race daily, so the appearance of an Array Spirit is very normal when coupled with his Demon Suppression Thought.
It's just that the personality developed by this thought is not very likable.
Too talkative.
After a while, as the nagging Demon Suppression Thought froze, it helplessly pointed behind him.
"Fourth Uncle is outside, probably because the disturbance you caused using the Divine Prohibition was too big, and he wants to ask what happened."
"Let Uncle... forget it, just tell him there's nothing, don't let him in."
In its current form, Ziwei Star isn't suitable for ordinary cultivators to see. A normal person coming in for a look and going out again would probably be driven insane.
Five hundred Chen Zhixing reside here!!!
Five hundred thoughts.
Five hundred, which over time, have already departed from their original form to become a more complete incarnation of 'thought', looking like five hundred demons and ghosts sculpted based on Chen Zhixing at first glance!
Scarier than laboratory clones, at least clones maintain human form and are caged in glass not moving.
As for Ziwei Star here.
Let's just say.
If it weren't for these thoughts being divided from Chen Zhixing himself and could be retracted at will, he'd have driven himself insane long ago!!!
"Uh, it's indeed not suitable for outsiders to come in." The Demon Suppression Thought, which realized the same, was a bit embarrassed, because its fellow figures were somewhat inhuman, and if outsiders saw the current state inside Ziwei Star, getting ill from the fright would probably be mild.
It even suspected, the Clam Spirit who came to find it a few days ago probably couldn't stand the terrifying scene and wanted to find the only one among these 'Chen Zhixings' who resembled a human to gain some sense of security.....
"Hmm, let's keep it this way for now. Go tell Fourth Uncle to have the Chen Family disciples retreat to the mountain temporarily to avoid being affected."
"Okay."
...
Chen Tianchen was standing outside Ziwei Star at this moment.
Looking at Ziwei Star in front of him with a complex expression.
He hadn't stepped into Ziwei Star for two years now.
It wasn't always like this.
Before Chen Zhixing settled in Ziwei Star, in the era of Ancestor Tianyuan, Ziwei Star was simply the back mountain of Ziwei Mountain's main peak, it was Ancestor Tianyuan's residence, a place for imprisoning all sorts of demons. Higher-ups of the Chen Family could all come and go freely, occasionally even gaining some benefits from the Peak Great Demons imprisoned here.
Now, it's not possible.
To say nothing of others, the most recent 'outsider' to enter Ziwei Star was his third brother, Chen Tianliang!
Third Brother only stayed for less than half an hour, but when he came out, his entire spirit seemed dazed. Servants said he often woke up startled during the following half-month, loudly exclaiming there were demons on the mountain....
Demons?
Who?
The one residing in Ziwei Star now is your son, have you... finally started to think your son is a demon?
Not quite human!
Since the massacre of relatives during the Northern Return, the child Zhixing has increasingly behaved less like a human.
"A genius, the Young Master Xuantian of the Chen Family, an unparalleled demon residing within Ziwei Star...."
Thinking of these, Chen Tianchen unconsciously muttered such a sentence.
He bore no malice.
He, Chen Tianchen, was a typical Noble Family offspring, even if a real demon was residing in Ziwei Star, as long as there was a benefit to the Chen Family, he would not mind.
Consorting with demons is just a normal affair.
Yet when Chen Zhixing's voice suddenly sounded behind him, Chen Tianchen's body stiffened slightly.
"Zhixing, just now when the Ziwei Divine Prohibition was activated, the image of the Profound Celestial Mirror appeared, making many on the mountain uneasy, hence Fourth Uncle came to ask you."
Smiling.
Turning around and smiling unnaturally.
This cautiousness of Chen Tianchen's was genuinely like facing a Great Demon who could devour him at any moment.
The Demon Suppression Thought couldn't help but snicker, momentarily wanting to scare this Fourth Uncle a bit.
But thinking about it, remembering that this Fourth Uncle was indeed kin.
"Fourth Uncle, rest assured, nothing's wrong, it's just that the entity noticed someone targeting the Chen Family and released the Profound Celestial Mirror to intimidate them."
