Laiyang Fortress fell to a sudden eruption of blood-red radiance from underground, which amplified demons and weakened Great Zhou soldiers. The reinforcements were wiped out, and Vanguard General Tang Zhun died. This disaster has caused panic among the Great Zhou officials, who fear the entire defensive line could collapse. The Emperor has convened a meeting to discuss the threat, and it is revealed that a similar Blood Light Formation was found at Blood River Fortress, raising concerns about other hidden formations.

"The omen has appeared, please have the Demon Emperor come to the Refined House for a strategic meeting!" In the seemingly plain voice of Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi, there is an infinite authority!

Although most of the time, Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi respects the current Demon Emperor greatly, he rarely requests the Demon Emperor to come to his Refined House for a meeting.

However, once such a situation arises, it means that something major is about to happen.

Having held the Throne of the Demon Emperor for so many years, the current Demon Emperor Amihao naturally understands what Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi’s words signify.

Without any delay, Demon Emperor Amihao appears in front of the Refined House of Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi with a light entourage at the first opportunity.

"Amihao has come to listen to the Prophet’s teachings." At the gate of the Refined House, Amihao adopts a very humble stance.

Demon Emperor Amihao’s ability to remain seated on the Throne of the Demon Emperor for so many years is related to his humble demeanor.

Of course, he only adopts this stance in front of those who necessitate it.

Within the entire Demon Clan, those whom the Demon Emperor needs to be humble in front of can be counted on one hand.

Today’s humility from Demon Emperor Amihao is also related to his seeking advice from Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi.

In the sound of the creaking door opening, Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi, dressed in plain clothes with white eyebrows and hair, personally opens the door to the Refined House and welcomes Demon Emperor Amihao inside.

Demon Emperor Amihao knows how to conduct himself, and this Prophet Demon Master knows even better.

"With the Prophet calling, I wonder what teachings there are for Amihao?" Once seated, Demon Emperor Amihao respectfully asks Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi with both hands clasped.

"The Demon Emperor is too kind."

Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi returns the gesture, "The reason for inviting the Demon Emperor is because within this Refined House, there is a treasure that suppresses sensations. Not even a Creation God or the Three Great Daoist Ancestors of the Human Clan can pry!"

This can be considered an explanation.

"The issue with the blood light surging from the front, has Your Majesty heard of it?" Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi asked.

Demon Emperor Amihao nodded, "Already aware, but unsure of who and when these formations were laid, to benefit our clan’s army so greatly! Also, not sure of the purpose of these formations, can they be guided or controlled?

Moreover..."

Demon Emperor Amihao asked several questions in one breath, then looked intently at Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi, hoping for answers.

However, Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi shook his head, "Your Majesty, apologies, but I cannot answer these questions!"

"Ah?"

Demon Emperor Amihao looked shocked. In his view, to a certain extent, Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi is the embodiment of knowing everything.

"Your Majesty need not be puzzled, I have, in fact, been the Prophet Demon Master of the Demon God Hall for nine generations. Not knowing these distant matters is quite normal." Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi said.

"Distant?"

Demon Emperor Amidan keenly grasped these words.

"Indeed, these formations are very ancient, but they can be described using eight characters from the Human Clan."

"Which eight characters?"

"功在当年,利在万代!" (Achievements in the Past, Benefits for Thousands of Generations!)

"Achievements in the Past, Benefits for Thousands of Generations?" Demon Emperor Amihao furrowed his brow, he had some guesses but dared not conclude easily, hence asked again, "Please clarify, Prophet Demon Master."

"May I ask Your Majesty, how many years has our clan been on this Primordial Continent?"

"According to historical records, it has been over hundred thousand years."

"Then during these hundred thousand years, how many generations of Demon Emperors has our clan gone through? How much has our territory grown?" Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi asked again.

Demon Emperor Amihao’s expression turned somewhat gloomy, "Up to this Emperor, there have been four generations of Demon Emperors, and over the years of their efforts, our territory has not increased even an inch since the end of the Human-Demon War, remaining stagnant at the Human Demon Battlefield!"

"Hundred thousand years, not an inch of growth!"

Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi sighed, then slowly stood up, "Well, today, the time has come for our clan to expand its territory!"

"The Prophet Demon Master refers to the blood light surging from the front lines?"

"Indeed, this is merely the beginning, a good beginning!"

"What does Your Majesty need to do?"

"Continue to increase military forces, turning this millennial war into a war of extinction. To make our clan the true master of this world, and turn all natives into our slaves." Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi spoke these words with utmost casualness.

"Continue to increase military forces? To what extent?" Demon Emperor Amihao furrowed his brow, "Also, how will the situation with the blood light surging from the front lines evolve?"

"What will be the next location where the blood light surges from the ground?"

...

"How can we better utilize the blood light surging from underground? Please tell us, Prophet Demon Master." Demon Emperor Amihao asked many questions in one breath.

Upon hearing this, Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi slowly shook his head, "The questions you asked, I do not know either, but I can confirm that this is our clan’s most likely opportunity to dominate the Primordial Continent in hundred thousand years!"

"As for how much military force to invest, I do not know either! But as long as you continue to invest significant military forces, blood light will keep surging from the front."

"Eventually, this blood light surging from underground will bring about earth-shattering changes, creating a unique opportunity for our clan in hundred thousand years!"

After saying this, Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi closed his eyes.

Familiar with Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi’s habits, Demon Emperor Amihao understood that once the prophet closes his eyes, it means he will not answer further questions and is implying it’s time to leave.

In such situations, Demon Emperor Amihao usually leaves quietly, but this time, Demon Emperor Amihao paused once more and said, "Prophet, I have one more question that is unclear, please guide me!"

Upon hearing this, Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi slowly opened his eyes halfway, "Your Majesty, what you are unclear about, I already fully understand, and this matter, I can give you a definite answer."

Upon hearing this, Demon Emperor Amihao’s eyes revealed an astonished expression, unexpectedly, with his cultivation, he had not yet spoken, and the prophet had already known his thoughts.

For a ruler, this kind of occurrence is quite frightening to a certain extent.

Nevertheless, Demon Emperor Amihao bowed and said, "Please, Prophet Demon Master, guide."

"Regarding the matter of the heir to the throne, my lineage of Temple Prophet has never interfered!

No matter which Crown Prince becomes the heir to the throne, as long as it is approved or chosen by Your Majesty, as long as the bloodline remains the Demon Emperor Bloodline, I will give my blessing and support," Prophet Demon Master Jiu Xi said.

"In that case, this Emperor will thank the Prophet."

Demon Emperor Ami bowed once more, seeing that the Prophet Demon Master did not respond further, he slowly exited the Refined House, and his form suddenly disappeared.

Moments later, orders to summon the thirty-six Marching Generals not in the battle sequence spread far and wide.

...

Still in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space, Ye Zhen was roused by Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou.

Only Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou can contact Ye Zhen during his cultivation in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space.

Upon opening his eyes, several Jade Scrolls fell from above Ye Zhen’s head, "Lord Ye, a rapid message from the small Communication Transfer Formation Disk you instructed me to monitor, marked as extremely urgent."

Ye Zhen’s expression shifted with surprise, immediately sinking his Divine Sense into the Jade Scroll.

With just a glance, Ye Zhen immediately shouted, "Ayuan, deploy the formation, I must return to Blood River Fortress."

The phantom of the white-clothed young boy Ayuan immediately emerged, and as Ye Zhen left the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space, the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl instantly flew out from behind Ye Zhen’s head.

"You’re finally going back, Lord, I can finally get a good sleep." Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou muttered with delight, guarding the Teleportation Formation Disk was exceedingly boring.

Moments later, Ye Zhen’s figure disappeared without a trace.

Almost the instant Ye Zhen vanished, in the mysterious underground space of the Grand Hall on Five Immortals Island, the entity referred to as the Supreme Elder by Guz Xuan suddenly opened its eyes.

"It has appeared again!"
