I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

Demon Court.

Central Imperial Palace.

Bai Ze and Lion Ancestor bowed and stood waiting for the Demon Emperor's punishment.

Several demon gods were standing on the left and right, some looking sarcastic, some gloating, some looking worried, all came to listen in their avatars.

Since the establishment of the Demon Court, Bai Ze has become the Demon Emperor's confidant, causing many colleagues to be shameless and jealous.

In a construction project involving the transformation of an entire world, even if Bai Ze acts fairly and impartially, if he misses a few benefits, the massive amount of spiritual objects he will receive will make the demons jealous.

Cang Suyuan messed up and caused the Corpse God to block the Nantian Gate, which made the Demon Court lose a lot of face and must be severely punished.

"The blame for what happened today is not on the two beloveds. After all, they are the ancient corpse gods. No matter who is gone, the result will not change."

The Demon Emperor sat on his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want Cang Suyuan. I don't care about the garden. I can't break my humerus because of it."

Nowadays, there are many factions in the Demon Court, and the Demon Emperor can command less than half of them. Among them, the most convenient one is Baize, who will never punish him just because of his face. .

On the contrary, the Demon Emperor made up his mind to use Bai Ze more seriously and spent a large sum of money to buy horse bones in the hope of attracting more demon gods to join him.

Bai Ze and Shi Zu breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

The demon gods on the left and right couldn't help but frown slightly when they heard this. In order to strengthen the majesty of the demon emperor, His Majesty constantly preached that the laws of heaven must be obeyed.

Now, because of the favored ministers under his command, he is not punished for his crimes and is the first to break the rules.

All this is just seen with the eyes, but it is clear in the heart that the demons will not offend the demon emperor and the two demon gods just for the sake of quick words.

"Demon Master, how about the auspicious divination?"

The Demon Emperor has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, so how could he not understand the thoughts of the demons? When the luck of our demon clan increases and the power of heaven and earth returns, they will obediently abide by the rules of heaven.

"Your Majesty, I am about to report this matter."

Bai Ze replied: "The ancient corpse god actually joined the underworld. He must quickly spread the edict to the world. If it continues like this, unpredictable changes may occur!"

As soon as the words fell, the demons in the palace unexpectedly came to a rare consensus and saluted the demon emperor in unison.

"Your Majesty, what the demon master said makes sense!"

The foundation of the Demon Court has been built, and after spreading to the world, it will gather the fortunes of all spirits, and then the Demon Emperor will canonize the gods, and immortality will be achieved. There have been reports from the demon gods before, please spread the edict to the world as soon as possible, and it can be carried out simultaneously with the construction of the demon court.

It's just that the Demon Emperor kept delaying it for the sake of safety and asked Baize to calculate the auspicious date.

The Demon Emperor did not reject it directly. He thought for a moment and asked, "How is the matter in the Dao Realm?"

Bai Ze immediately replied: "Your Majesty, True Immortal Yuan Jing is willing to be canonized as a righteous god by the Demon Court and govern the human race for the Demon Court."

The Demon Emperor said: "That old immortal in the Dao Domain is unwilling to be used by me?"

Bai Ze quickly explained: "Your Majesty rules the heaven and the earth, how can anyone be disobedient? It's just that Taoist Master Yuqing is in retreat, practicing the secret teachings of Taoist ancestors, so he took advantage of True Immortal Yuan Jing."

Of course, privately accepting Taoist Master Yuqing's immortal green pine seeds was purely a matter of courtesy between colleagues.

Bai Ze specifically mentioned Dao Ancestor, which means that there are people in the Dao Domain, and it is not easy for the Demon Court to force him. Being canonized is already a sign of bowing his head.

The Demon Emperor still didn't want to send the edict too early, and snorted coldly: "What a seclusion, it's just a pretext. On the surface, you respect me as the Emperor of Heaven, but in fact, you don't go to court to see me, and you don't listen to the instructions!"

The demons in the palace lowered their eyes and turned a deaf ear, as if they didn't understand the demon emperor's accusations.

When the nine demon gods voted for the position of demon emperor, it was like child's play, because they had already expected such a scenario.

No matter who sits on the position of Demon Emperor, the rest will not surrender wholeheartedly. Such selection only avoids the calamity of fighting and fighting.

"Your Majesty, you are absolutely right."

As a close minister, Bai Ze knew the Demon Emperor's temperament clearly, and said, "The Taoist master told me privately that after all, he is a monk who has been enlightened for a long time, so he naturally takes his face very seriously."

"For joining the Demon Court so easily, I was not only laughed at by my colleagues, but also inevitably doubted by His Majesty, so I stayed behind the scenes for the time being."

"When Demon Court becomes the lord of heaven and earth in the future, Taoist Master Yuqing will surrender in person!"

"I see."

The Demon Emperor thought that Yu Qing's enlightenment would last longer than his own lifespan, and he couldn't help but feel happy: "As long as the Dao domain heals the human race, I will reward you a lot, and it's not a bad idea to be canonized as a heavenly master in the future!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Bai Ze thought in his mind that he must ask for some more benefits from Daoyu, and said: "Your Majesty, I have succeeded in divination, and in ten days it will be an auspicious day to spread the edict to the world!"

"I'm sure!"

The Demon Emperor nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Quickly send an edict to all the righteous gods. Come to the imperial palace to receive the edict. It will be circulated to the world in ten days. When all the spirits are collected, the letter will be sent, the altar will be opened to worship the heaven, and the righteous gods will be canonized!"

"According to the order!"

The group of demons in the hall bowed and saluted, and then each cast a magic spell to summon the demons, immortals and gods who had reserved the divine place.

Before the Demon Court was established, the number of gods had been planned, totaling one hundred and seventy-one. This value is not intentional, but after gathering the luck of heaven and earth, it can carry at most this number of immortal gods.

The rest of the many servant gods and deputies only have the name and authority of gods, but they have no luck and no immortality.

Three days later.

One hundred and seventy-one immortals and demons gathered in the imperial palace, ranked left, right, and front according to their priestly positions.

Among them, there are one hundred and sixty-six demons and gods, one true immortal, Arhat and one true devil, one ghost and god from the underworld, and one side-door Gu Immortal that is neither human nor demon.

It can be seen from the number that the demon clan's righteous gods account for more than 90%. There are only five foreign clans. The reason for canonizing them is to win over the forces behind them. Otherwise, five more demon immortals can be canonized.

The demon clan established the heaven, so it was impossible for outsiders to take advantage of it.

Bai Ze was not in the queue at this time, but stood below the Demon Emperor, facing the officials like Eunuch Chu.

Seeing all the immortals and demons arriving, Bai Ze cleared his throat and said loudly.

"Go to court!"

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The group of demons all bowed and saluted. Fortunately, there was no need to kneel, otherwise everyone would join forces to replace the demon emperor.

The Demon Emperor looked down from above and gathered together all the righteous gods in the Demon Court for the first time. Seeing that the immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas all surrendered to him, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Everyone loves you!"

The Demon Emperor said: "Demon Master, issue an edict for all the beloved ministers."

"According to the order!"

Bai Ze took out hundreds of gold books, all of which were refined by the secret methods of ancient gods and men, and could gather the will power of living beings.

Most of the demons in the palace are the lords of the demon kingdom, and most of the areas they are responsible for delivering edicts are under their jurisdiction, making it extremely convenient to spread the edicts. There is no need to say much about the Buddhist realm. The Arhat reads out the golden book when he lectures on the sutra, and it will soon be spread throughout the teachings.

Among them, there are only a few places that are quite troublesome, all of which are where the Immortal Sect is stationed and have not surrendered to the Demon Court.

"One hundred thousand mountains are adjacent to the South China Sea, and the Dragon King is working hard to pass the edict."

"According to the order!"

The Panlong Demon God took over the golden book. It originally planned to conquer the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where there are evil ancestors of other sects lurking, and seize their immortal foundation to help their descendants achieve enlightenment.

"Unprecepted Arhat, in the Guanghua Buddhist Kingdom where Tantric Buddhism is located, we still need to take the trouble to spread the edict."

"Amitabha!"

Wujie had a sad look on his face. As a result, he had rushed to get the gold book. Now he is the lowest in the Buddhist sect and had no choice but to accept the canonization from the Demon Court.

There is more than one Buddhist esoteric sect, and the Guanghua Buddhist Kingdom is undoubtedly the strongest. The founder of the country once made an immortal golden body and passed it down from generation to generation to this day. Each generation of kings will accept the secret method of inheritance, fuse the true spirit with the immortal golden body, and their strength will leap into the Arhat.

There are no Arhats in other tantric sects, and the nearby demons and immortals are responsible for delivering the edicts. Those who disobey will be devoured.

After all the hundreds of gold books were distributed, Bai Ze had only the last one left in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he came to the True Immortal Yuan Jing.

"True Immortal Yuan Jing, in the future the Taoist general will be the leader of the human race, and this Yunzhou edict will be handed over to you."

Bai Ze didn't give Yuan Jing a chance to make excuses and said, "Don't let your Majesty down!"

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

True Immortal Yuan Jing had to take over the golden book and lock it tightly. This matter must be returned to the domain first to ask the teacher how to act.

Seeing this, the demons in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the matter would fall into their own hands, and looked at Yuan Jing with pity in their eyes.

Yunzhou is not a kind place. In the past 100,000 years, the number of immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons who have fallen in the Middle Way can't be counted in one palm. However, there are already nearly ten people who died under the cutting of that vicious person.

The last co-leader of the human race died not long ago, and it seems that this one will not live long either!

The Demon Emperor doesn't care about this. The human race is best at internal fighting. If Changsheng dies, Yuan Jing will be there, and if Yuan Jing dies, someone else will take over.

"Seven days later, it will be a good and auspicious day! All the beloved ministers must work hard to spread the contents of the edict throughout the world. Let all the spirits know, and from now on, they will be under the rule of the Demon Court."

The demon emperor's voice was gentle and fell into the ears of the demons, but it contained inexplicable majesty.

The four demon commanders Huan Chaos, Tian Wu, Kun Peng, and Feng Mu at the front of the palace had sharper senses, and they could faintly realize that the Demon Emperor had surpassed them.

The four demon commanders are already the strongest in the world. Even ancient gods, Buddhas and Taoist ancestors can fight with each other. They should not have such ridiculous thoughts, but they cannot doubt their true feelings.

If another demon god proclaims himself emperor, the four demon commanders will definitely feel uneasy and investigate behind their backs.

The Golden Crow Demon God is different!

Chaos personally supported the Demon Emperor's rise to power and was a die-hard ally. Tianwu Zenggui was the ancient water god and had no idea about this matter. Kunpeng swallows Yinglong and transforms, so he must support the Golden Crow. Mother Feng marries her daughter to the Demon Emperor, which can be said to be half a son.

As a result, the Demon Emperor's position has been as secure as Mount Tai, and then the investigation of Ping Bai's cause and effect will be concluded.

…

The Taoist domain is located in Yuqing Blessed Land.

After the Taoist ancestor fell silent, his eldest disciple, Taoist Master Yuqing, opened a Taoist temple here to promote Taoism.

The Dao realm is different from the Buddha realm. It is the recognized ancestral home of Buddhism. Regardless of Yunzhou or other Buddhist lands, everyone will go to the Buddha realm to pay homage after they have achieved success in practice.

At that time, the Taoist ancestors preached and traveled around the world without a fixed place. The Taoist sects in the world can trace their roots back to their origins. The inheritance is no lower than that of the Yuqing Taoist master. It is just that the ancestor's talent was ordinary and he could only have a named disciple.

Dao domain is willing to be canonized and become the co-owner of the human race, and the orthodoxy of Dao is its important purpose.

True Immortal Yuan Jing was only a clone in the Demon Court. After checking the contents of the edict, he immediately left the seclusion and asked to see the master.

The top of Yuqing Mountain.

A thatched cottage, a stone table with a black and white chessboard placed on it.

Taoist Master Yuqing has a green complexion, a high crown and long beard, and is wearing a gray Taoist robe. He looks like an ordinary old man.

At this time, he was studying the chess game with his brows furrowed, and there was no one on either side.

The mountain breeze blew by, making it quite quiet and lonely.

After Yuan Jing reported the matter, she came to the top of the mountain and bowed down to wait for her master to wake up from the chess game.

After a long time.

Taoist Master Yuqing sighed repeatedly and scattered the chessboard with his hand, his tone helpless and indignant.

"It's okay if you don't understand this chess game!"

Yuan Jing was noncommittal about this. She had heard Master's words too many times, and in a few hours, she would start the chess game again and continue to understand.

Legend has it that this chess game was given by Taoist ancestors, who said that if you understand its mystery, you can achieve the supreme state of using heaven and earth as chess.

"Master, the Demon Court ordered my disciple to go to Yunzhou to deliver the edict..."

Yuan Jing didn't need to say much. Master could understand the meaning. In recent years, the reputation of Yunzhou Taoist had become so great that it even surpassed the Buddha and Taoist ancestors.

Taoist Master Yuqing counted with his fingers for a moment and said, "Just go directly. There is no danger in this trip."

Taozu's chess game contains infinite opportunities. Taoist Yuqing did not completely break it, but he also understood a method of yin and yang divination, which is vaguely related to the legendary innate gossip.

Even if a catastrophe is about to occur and the heavenly secrets are chaotic, Taoist Yuqing can still predict bad luck.

"I'm going to visit that Taoist friend first. It must be treated as a teacher. If he doesn't let me read it, I will go directly to the Demon Court to recover."

"Disciple understands!"

Yuan Jing said: "Since there is no danger in this trip, I will go in person to show my sincerity."

If you don't do well in the Demon Court, you will at most be punished and ostracized. If you offend that evil person, you will be in danger of death!

Taoist Master Yuqing waved his hand to signal his disciples to leave, and then said suddenly.

"I would like to ask on behalf of my master if I can spare the lives of your two uncles. They are not bad in nature, but they have strayed into evil ways..."
