"Let's start by finding the Six Paths of the Demon Sect."

Zhong Shenxiu thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"The Demon Sect is skilled at concealment, and although there are always disciples scattered about, the location of their sect is a secret among secrets… Of course, not to me!"

He now had numerous methods to locate the Six Paths of the Demon Sect.

Just catch a True Inheritor of the Demon Sect and then change their 'source code' to be absolutely loyal to himself, then what information couldn't he obtain?

Even more, there was an even simpler method.

"I remember… during the Sacrificial War to the Heavens, that Drought Demon Immortal had also taken action."

As Zhong Shenxiu pondered, he arrived at a certain place in Changluo, with streams of data flashing in his eyes.

Before the Light of Order, even an entire world could be completely digitized, such as the Grotto Heaven and Xuanming Sky.

Of course, the Seven Luminaries Heaven was different.

Because its status was too high, even the unique divine items derived there could not be digitized, inevitably becoming a BUG.

Moreover, once he began, he might be interrupted halfway by a True God descending from the West.

Therefore, although Zhong Shenxiu was unrestrained in Grotto Heaven and Xuanming Sky, he was still cautious when he returned to the Seven Luminaries Heaven.

At least, he did not contemplate completely digitizing the entire world.

However, at this moment, digitizing a certain area to search for historical traces was not a problem at all.

That disassembled immortal, although he surely had methods to conceal himself, and even his status was a tool to disrupt interference, it was all useless!

Zhong Shenxiu now, with the unique divinity activated, held a higher status than the disassembled immortal!

And the 'permissions' for operation, were even more powerful!

Soon, the data of this area was analyzed, and scenes reappeared before Zhong Shenxiu, returning to the initial emergence of the Drought Demon Immortal and the desolate landscape.

"This is… the memory of the world."

He reached out and grabbed a wisp of aura from the Drought Demon Immortal.

"Divination!"

Immediately, Zhong Shenxiu used this wisp of aura to begin divining the location of this Demon Immortal.

The other party was an old ancestor of the Demon Sect, and his place of seclusion was likely the most crucial area of the sect, probably the sect's gate itself.

The next moment, Zhong Shenxiu's eyes brightened: "Found it!"

With his right hand stretched forward, he seemed to pull open an invisible grand door, moving naturally as he stepped through the doorway.

When he reappeared, he was already within a bizarre Grotto Heaven!

So-called cave heavens were small worlds attached to the world.

And this Grotto Heaven, strikingly formed by six tall mountains, resembled a Six-Fingered Mountain!

"So the Six Paths of the Demon Sect had already built their gate together?"

Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily and entered one of the mountains.

This mountain was filled with lotus ponds, blooming with lotuses of various colors, likely the gate of the Five Lotus Sect.

"How daring!"

"Who dares to trespass the gate of the Five Lotus Sect?"

From a giant pond, a pitch-black lotus bloomed, revealing a distorted figure of a divine protector: "I am the protector of the Five Lotus Sect—Black Lotus Venerable!"

"Ha ha, no wonder I felt a sudden impulse; it turns out it's the day to settle accounts."

Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily and reached out his hand.

The Black Lotus Venerable instantly changed colors and screamed, "Sect Master, save me!"

But it was of no use!

All of the Black Lotuses turned into black mist and dissipated, while the person itself transformed into a stream of data, landing in the palm of Zhong Shenxiu, exposing every secret.

"It turns out these were just conjured from a half-belief system, equivalent to the Primordial Spirit Realm… Back then, just a strand of my divided essence almost forced me with no way up to heaven, no door into the earth..."

Zhong Shenxiu casually altered some lines of data, and the hand-held Black Lotus Venerable turned into a Black Lotus Pendant, its surface gleaming with a brilliance that was reminiscent of a Spiritual Treasure!

"This little trinket isn't bad. I can give it to someone when I return."

He chuckled lightly, then saw a Dharma Body rise up from the depths of the Five Lotus Peak, transforming into a Heavenly Woman holding a five-colored lotus.

Five Lotus Primordial Monarch, the Dharma Body of the Scattering Flower Heavenly Maiden!

"So, it is the Sect Hierarch of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, the Dragon Tiger Daoist..."

The Five Lotus Primordial Monarch shouted, "You violate my mountains, you kill my protector, do not think you can leave here alive today!"

Having clashed with Zhong Shenxiu before, she knew she was no match for him, yet she was entirely unfazed now.

After all, this was the grand base of the Demon Sect's Six Paths, with more than ten Dharma Bodies!

Moreover, two Corpse Freed Immortals were present!

Even during the peak of the Second Yan Han Empire, when allied with the three Daoist sects, they dared only force the closure of the mountain gates, unable to step into the world.

"I have some grievances with the Black Lotus Venerable. The Sect Master allowed us to resolve it ourselves."

Zhong Shenxiu said with a smile, "Why be angry?"

While speaking, his body transformed, revealing the mighty Dragon Tiger Daoist Dharma Body, as vast purple aura descended on the six peaks of the Demon Sect.

This commotion immediately caused shock amongst the rest of the sects.

First was a fearsome long blade filled with the aura of extinction, cutting through the void, the 'Extinction Blade Body' of the No-Life Killing Sect!

Soon after, a stream of Yellow Spring and a sea of blood completely sealed off Zhong Shenxiu's escape route. These were the 'Yellow Spring Demon Body' and the 'Blood Sea Demon Body', the high-level Sect Hierarchs of the Yellow Spring Demon Sect and Blood Sea Sect, respectively!

"Alas, alas, the poor Sect Hierarch of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, to think today will be the day you perish here, a long song of mourning..."

Amidst the strange crying, a grotesquely disproportionate body surfaced, brimming with a sense of grand destruction, inducing instant chaos in those who saw it, the Six Destruction Demon Body walked out, a figure of the Evil Dao, the Heavenly Cry Demon Lord!

Beside him stood a figure with a True Witch Body, muscles coiled, a high-ranking member of the Witch Sect!

"Truly, the six paths of the Demon Sect's grand headquarters are not to be underestimated. In an instant, six Sect Hierarch-level figures have appeared."

Undaunted, Zhong Shenxiu's purple aura swayed slightly, causing the six great Dharma Body Demon Lords to stagger back several steps, "I am here merely to convey the imperial decree, specially ordering you to attend the council on the third day of the eleventh month in the second year of Shenwu, at Changluo, to discuss countermeasures against the West..."

"Fellow Daoist, your words are incorrect. We are not conferred by the imperial court. Why should we listen to orders from that young Emperor?" The Five Lotus Primordial Monarch countered with a smile, her allure undisguised yet filled with lethal intent!

"With the great battle between East and West imminent, righteousness is on our side, comply, or die!" Zhong Shenxiu replied calmly, unchanging in expression.

"Well then, I'd love to see how you plan to kill me in front of all these Sect Hierarchs..."

The Five Lotus Primordial Monarch laughed merrily, her face full of confidence.

...

Within the Yellow Spring Demon Sect.

"Quick, quick, activate the Array!"

"The Sect Hierarch has gone to besiege the Dragon Tiger Daoist. Let's not get involved..."

The elders and disciples were in disarray, and moments later, nine streams of Yellow Spring rose.

At the core of the Array, dressed in a yellow Magic Robe, Huang Xie sighed, "Dragon Tiger Daoist..."

He had worked hard, killing many competitors, upgrading from Yellow Spring Prisoner to Yellow Spring Saint, preparing to become the next Sect Hierarch.

But that person was already far ahead of him...
