Chapter 1277: Passing Down the Art

Very soon, the Two-Domain Alliance sent word back, requesting that the grandmasters of every sect lead their forces to Tianxing Highland at once and organize a counteroffensive.

Qingjun was currently reorganizing the forces under her command. In this decisive battle, the two domains would mobilize everything they had and send their armies to Tianxing Highland.

Qin Sang, meanwhile, took Jingyu with him and first went to Thousand-Mountain Bamboo Sea.

At Thousand-Mountain Bamboo Sea, the demons received the news and waited outside the valley.

After learning her master would bring a demon king back to the mountain, the white cat stood stiffly beside the willow demon, her round face taut and her round eyes wide, afraid that she might be discourteous in front of the demon king.

Chilei cast sidelong glances at the white crane nearby, his eyes blazing as he cursed inwardly.

The white crane deliberately nuzzled and flirted with Yue’er right in front of him, acting all lovey-dovey.

The white crane cackled with laughter, swaggered over to Chilei’s side, threw a wing around him, and said with a face full of envy, "Fat chicken, you really weren’t lying to me. You really are the descendant of a demon king! You’ve struck it rich. Don’t forget your brother from now on! I’ll have Yue’er lure over some of her sisters, and you can pick whichever you want. Three wives and four concubines won’t be a problem!"

"My name is Chilei!" Chilei flew into a rage.

Yue’er looked jealous and pinched the white crane, her breath fragrant as orchids. "Do you also want three wives and four concubines?"

"My heart belongs only to you. Heaven and earth can bear witness. How could my eyes hold any other little demons?" the white crane answered at once without even changing his expression.

Yue’er’s face immediately filled with shy sweetness.

The white crane sighed inwardly. There was nothing he could do. She had the Snake King backing her, and his own master did not know how to favor him either. He could not mistreat her in any way.

Fortunately, his temperament was slick enough that he coaxed Yue’er until she felt as though she were soaking in honey. Not only did he avoid suffering, he even enjoyed every bit of tenderness.

It was just that Yue’er clung too tightly, leaving him no chance to roam around freely, which made him feel rather stifled.

Chilei knew the white crane’s nature well and sneered. "Keep them for yourself. I’m not blessed enough to enjoy that."

Just as they were talking, Qin Sang and Jingyu silently appeared before them.

Jingyu heard what the white crane had just said and became quite interested. "If you know any well-bred females with good natures, bring them here and let us see. If you can find Little Fatty a good match, I will reward you handsomely."

Chilei’s face changed drastically.

Inside the cave dwelling, Qin Sang introduced Jingyu to the demons. From now on, she would stay in Thousand-Mountain Bamboo Sea to cultivate.

Jingyu also promised that whenever she had free time, she would not hold back on giving them guidance. All the demons were overjoyed.

After the demons paid their respects to Jingyu, Qin Sang kept behind the willow demon, the old macaque, the white cat, Chilei, and the white crane, then took out several jade slips.

"Take a look at this cultivation art first," Qin Sang said, handing one of the jade slips to Jingyu as well.

Inside the jade slip were the first four stages of the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement.

Once the counterattack against Sin Abyss ended, all matters would return to the proper track. These few demons were all trustworthy. Qin Sang chose them and passed down the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement, leaving behind a legacy among the demon race so that this cultivation art would not be buried with him alone.

The willow demon was a plant spirit that had transformed, so he could not cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement, but he could still comprehend parts of it.

The moment they obtained the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement, the demons’ faces all filled with shock, and every one of them became immersed in it, unable to pull away.

Jingyu was the first to wake from it. Astonishment still showed in her eyes. "A cultivation art like this must have been a true inheritance of a great clan in ancient times, yet you actually obtained the complete first four stages! What a pity that I have already immersed myself too deeply in my clan’s inheritance and cannot switch to cultivating this art. Still, the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement will greatly benefit me as well. If I study it for some time, I will certainly gain something from it. Thank you, Daoist Qin!"

"Are the top demon race inheritances also incomplete?" Qin Sang asked in return.

Jingyu nodded. "Most of them are. My clan’s inheritance came from a brilliant ancestor who comprehended it from a fragment of an ancient demon cultivation art. Only after it was passed down through generations did it gradually become more complete."

The demon race of Small Cold Domain was the same. The highest inheritances of the human, witch, and demon races were all damaged and incomplete.

Qin Sang fell into thought.

After waiting a while, the demons finally came back to their senses. They felt incomparably grateful to Qin Sang, bowed one after another, and said in unison, "Thank you, Great King, for the grace of passing down this art."

"Rise. From now on, both Thousand-Mountain Bamboo Sea and Qingyang Temple are my juniors. There shall be no distinction between them. Between yourselves, you must not harbor prejudice because of race. If any trouble arises from that, I will not forgive it lightly!" Qin Sang said in a deep voice, flicking his sleeve. "This art cannot be passed down lightly. Thousand-Mountain Bamboo Sea must establish several rules..."

That very night, Qin Sang led the demons and rushed to Tianxing Highland.

Jingyu stayed behind in Thousand-Mountain Bamboo Sea and entered seclusion. However, during this period she needed to study the cultivation art, so she was in no hurry to take the medicine and attempt a breakthrough. Once the great battle began, she could come reinforce them at any time.

***

At the ice crystal palace at Tianxing Highland, the Spiritual Infant cultivators had all gathered in one hall.

The moment Qin Sang stepped into the great hall, one gaze after another turned toward him in unison.

"Daoist Qin has finally arrived!" Daoist Master Zhenyi personally rose to welcome him. His eyes shone with amazement, and he praised him repeatedly. "I have always envied the demon race for producing a Demon King Ming Yue, but only now did I learn that our human race also has such a young outstanding talent!"

Qin Sang repeatedly said he was unworthy and gave a fist-and-palm salute in greeting to all the Spiritual Infant cultivators.

The others all returned the courtesy. Only now did they truly become acquainted.

His seat was arranged beside Qingjun.

Qin Sang swept his gaze across the hall and discovered that everyone was sitting in a rather disorderly manner. Daoist Master Zhenyi had probably also been caught off guard by the sudden rise of both Qingjun and Qin Sang. Worried that trouble might arise, he simply abandoned the usual seating order.

This disappointed quite a few who loved excitement.

They were extremely interested in the grudge between Qin Sang and Dongyang Bo. Unfortunately, both of them were cunning people who revealed nothing. If they had torn away pretenses over seating order and started fighting, it would have made for a grand spectacle.

Once everyone had arrived, Daoist Master Zhenyi sealed the barriers of the ice crystal palace, his expression turning serious as he began discussing business.

"Old Devil Ye and Old Ghost Tianzheng both suffered heavy injuries, while we have gained two powerful reinforcements: Daoist Leng and Daoist Qin. This is the best time to counterattack. According to the investigations of Daoist Tongyou and myself, Sin Abyss has already begun recalling its forces and shows signs of withdrawing. We absolutely cannot allow them to retreat so easily! Once the army is assembled, we will divide into three routes. The Golden Armor Brothers and I will command one route, Daoist Tongyou and Daoist Dongyang will command another, and Daoist Leng and Daoist Qin will command the third..."

The plan for the counteroffensive had already gained everyone’s approval, so there was no need for further discussion. Daoist Master Zhenyi directly made the arrangements.

The commanders of the three routes were all among the greatest powers of the two domains, and no one objected.

"I have already contacted our fellow Daoists in the desert. When the time comes, they will also strike with full force and pin down part of Sin Abyss’s troops. The three armies will advance together and, in one great push, drive Sin Abyss back to Heavenly Scar! Daoist Red Hair was ambushed by Old Devil Ye, suffered grave injuries, and ultimately fell beneath heavenly tribulations. In this final battle, we will avenge him and make Sin Abyss pay a blood price!" Daoist Master Zhenyi slapped the table and shouted.

The Spiritual Infant cultivators all looked stirred up. Sin Abyss had oppressed them for so many years, and now they could finally strike back and vent the pent-up frustration in their hearts.

When Daoist Master Zhenyi mentioned the red-haired grandmaster, a man and a woman among the Spiritual Infant cultivators glanced at each other, both snorting coldly and revealing expressions of disgust. They were precisely the red-haired grandmaster's two disciples.

After the red-haired grandmaster fell, the two of them became irreconcilable, which caused the Chunyang Sect, once the number one sect of the Small Cold Domain, to split apart. Every time they met, it was like this. They regarded each other as mortal enemies.

Someone noticed that Daoist Master Zhenyi had not mentioned the demon race.

"Daoist Master, have you contacted the Feathered Demon King? What does Heavenly Demon Hill plan to do?"
