But at this moment, Chen Jiuyang was more curious about one thing.
What era did the ancestor 'Xuan Xing' belong to, to actually know the Yan Sheng Saber.
"Rumble!!!"
In the Chongming Sea, ten thousand zhang thunder dragons simultaneously struck down upon the Yan Sheng Saber.
Chen Jiuyang watched intently as the ancestor 'Xuan Xing' elevated a spiritual artifact into a Dao artifact.
What exactly was a Dao artifact?
There were no Dao artifacts in the immortal cultivation system.
Suddenly, the ancestor 'Xuan Xing' lightly tapped in Chen Jiuyang's direction.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!"
Chen Jiuyang's Yuan Dao suddenly operated at full power.
His own Jingyi Great Dao seemed to be exposed, with all his secrets laid bare.
"Hmm?" Golden light flowed within 'Xuan Xing's' eyes, his gaze falling upon Chen Jiuyang: "You have some mettle. The path of the Human Emperor, your own Great Dao has just taken form. No wonder you sought this Palace to obtain the origin and laws of metal, intending to forge the five great origin laws to prove the Emperor realm."
"The Qianyang Dao Body on the path of the Human Emperor, this is the first time I've seen it."
"In the future, you may have the chance to step onto the imperial path and be on par with us."
Then, with a slight flick of his finger.
"Pfft—"
Chen Jiuyang spat out a mouthful of essence blood, feeling a portion of his own Great Dao origin being severed.
This portion of essence was then smelted into the 'Yan Sheng Saber'.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!"
The Yan Sheng Saber erupted with lightning and fire, ancient Dao marks appearing on its hilt and blade, a profound aura spreading out.
Chen Jiuyang's heart suddenly felt a miraculous sense of connection.
It was as if the Yan Sheng Saber was no longer just a weapon, but a power derived from his Yuan Dao.
With lightning and fire intertwined, the Yan Sheng Saber itself began to exude a terrifying aura.
"Is this the might of a Dao artifact..."
"The Yan Sheng Saber is currently a first-grade Dao artifact. After nine upgrades, it can transform into a Saint artifact, and after nine Saint artifacts, it will become an Emperor Dao ultimate weapon, and then an Emperor weapon."
"The method to upgrade Dao artifacts is..."
The ancestor 'Xuan Xing' pointed at Chen Jiuyang from afar, pouring a vast amount of forging inheritance into Chen Jiuyang's mind.
The Pure Yang Medical Immortal was skilled in medicine and alchemy.
The ancestor 'Xuan Xing' was skilled in forging.
"This karma and merit are now completely nullified."
As the voice fell, the ancestor 'Xuan Xing' closed his eyes, then was enveloped by a terrifying dark cloud and fell into slumber once more.
Concurrently, the Yan Sheng Saber, having absorbed the lightning and fire, slowly flew out of the forbidden grounds of the Chongming Sea and landed in its scabbard.
Chen Jiuyang temporarily set aside the forging inheritance and asked the Yan Sheng Saber: "Yan Sheng, how did you know the ancestor 'Xuan Xing'?"
The Yan Sheng Saber replied: "'Xuan Xing' was a friend of the first generation Saber Master, and she provided the materials to forge my original body. 'Xuan Xing' is a descendant of the Saber Dao Master."
"..." Chen Jiuyang's eyes were deep. This demonic path inheritance was too ancient; he didn't know how far back it traced.
Putting the matter of the Yan Sheng Saber aside for now, he looked at the golden pill before him, which contained the origin and laws of metal required for the Lung's divine treasury.
His eyes burned with desire as he accepted the golden pill.
If things continued this way, and he subdued the remaining demonic sects, he would be able to gather the five great origins of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, achieving the Great Completion of Yuan Dao, and he would be able to reach the Emperor realm.
With the nine demonic sects under his sole command, he could command at least a million elders and disciples with a wave of his hand. Thus!
Upon entering the Emperor realm, it would be time to annihilate the five pseudo-dao factions!
Chen Jiuyang's heart surged with excitement.
"This inheritance has now concluded."
The Saint artifact 'Yong Jie''s voice rang out, then the black mist enveloping Chen Jiuyang dissipated, tearing through the void and vanishing.
His vision shifted.
He was back on the grand plaza where thirty thousand people were gathered.
"From today onwards, the Hehuan lineage officially returns to the Sacred Sect. All hall elders, true disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples are to cultivate diligently."
"The great era has arrived. When I unify the Sacred Dao, it will be the day we go to war with the pseudo-dao. Do not slacken!"
Chen Jiuyang's voice, filled with authority, swept through the minds of every member of the True Demon Sect.
"We respectfully obey the Sect Master's sacred decree!"
A thunderous roar erupted, and everyone knelt on one knee in unison, obeying Chen Jiuyang's words.
If it were anyone else, they would have been lost in such eminent power and authority.
Chen Jiuyang waved his hand gently: "Disperse."
Immediately, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Sect Master's Hall deep within the True Demon Sect.
Then, with immense demonic energy, many elders and disciples orderly left the grand plaza, leaving only a large number of outer disciples to continue cultivating there.
Chen Jiuyang summoned his trusted confidantes in the True Demon Sect, the Han clan members, and some elders.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Everyone spoke in unison with respect: "May we know your commands, Sect Master."
Chen Jiuyang stood with his back to them, hands clasped behind his back, the Nine Dragon Robe emitting black mist, his voice indifferent:
"The Sacred Sect's numbers have grown too rapidly. The time has been too short. While the disciples are acceptable, some families and elders may have unstable minds."
"This Palace has decided to temporarily halt the struggle for the Sacred Dao until internal affairs are properly handled."
The expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
Since becoming Sect Master, Chen Jiuyang had always been a hands-off manager, with the Han clan handling most matters.
Now, Sect Master Chen Jiuyang intended to personally handle sect affairs.
Given this Sect Master's deeds, character, and intentions, a rectification was likely.
The current True Demon Sect was a colossal power.
Han Shaofa asked: "How does the Sect Master plan to proceed?"
Chen Jiuyang's indifferent voice echoed: "This Palace has heard that some elders and disciples are not compliant. Therefore, the Punishment Hall will supervise and assign tasks. From the Supreme Elders down to the outer disciples, all will undertake missions."
"Those who disobey the mission will be killed."
"Those who fail to complete the mission will be punished."
"Recently, the Dragon Kingdom has been frequently harassed by foreign races. This Palace is also a part of the Dragon Kingdom. Burdened with heavy responsibilities, I cannot personally intervene to uphold my filial piety, nor can I let the pseudo-dao have the spotlight."
"Therefore, I will send them to suppress foreign cultivators and warriors, and let the world know that our Sacred Sect does not lack righteousness."
Everyone's faces changed drastically. Chen Jiuyang's move was a bloodless victory.
"Practicing without martial arts leaves one with no combat power."
"Within ten days, submit the list and mission summary for my review."
"Disperse."
"We respectfully obey the Sect Master's sacred decree!"
Everyone's minds were in turmoil as they withdrew with mixed feelings.
Chen Jiuyang's move was to prevent the scenario predicted by the Creation Heavenly Mechanism Jade Tablet.
To weed out some rebellious elements.
However, he couldn't be too aggressive in his first move; it had to be like boiling frogs in warm water, taking it slow.
More importantly, he needed time to temper the origin and laws of metal he had just obtained, to break through to the fourth level of the Venerable realm.
In the following period, many disciples and elders of the True Demon Sect were dispatched from the sect to undertake more dangerous missions.
As the numbers grew, these aristocratic disciples realized what was happening.
But Chen Jiuyang was the legitimate Sect Master, with righteousness on his side, so they could only suppress their anger.
Just as Chen Jiuyang had felt wronged in the past.
