The emotions soon vanished again.
The Patriarch of 'Ba An', his aura vast, terrifying, and chilling, looked at Chen Jiuyang and said, "Holy Son Qianyang, your karma is excellent. The one in the remnant old village with whom you have karma is... I am not convenient to mention his specific title, I can only tell you that he is the Old Sword Emperor."
Several people's hearts trembled!
The Old Sword Emperor?!
The Sword Emperor of the Human Emperor's Path?
Such a title had never been heard before, not even in historical records.
However, terrifying Patriarchs like the Patriarch of 'Ba An' would naturally not deceive them, juniors like them.
Chen Jiuyang's heart trembled. He never expected that the armless middle-aged man was actually an Emperor who had attained emperorship through the sword on the Human Emperor's Path.
The Old Sword Emperor!
He remembered it.
The Patriarch of 'Ba An' continued, "If the Old Sword Emperor and I attack together, we can break through the pseudo-Dao Kunlun and rescue your wife and daughter."
"This transaction will not only offset a portion of my karma with the Holy Dao, but you will also owe me a small karma. Are you willing to bear it?"
"This disciple is willing to bear it."
As long as his wife Yao Zixuan and his unborn daughter could be safely rescued, Chen Jiuyang would spare no effort, wading through fire and water, and would not hesitate!
"I understand." The Patriarch of 'Ba An' looked at Chen Jiuyang and said, "You need to tell me the time and place. If I were to calculate it, it would alert the pseudo-Dao Kunlun."
Chen Jiuyang cupped his hands and said, "The time is August eighth."
The Patriarch of 'Ba An' slowly nodded and said, "Come to Chongming Sea on August seventh."
Chen Jiuyang cupped his hands and fists, saying, "Yes, Patriarch."
Then.
"Rumble!!!"
The terrifying aura dissipated, and Chen Jiuyang's soaring soul lamp true spirit returned. Then, the Patriarch of 'Ba An' waved his hand, the holy artifact painting slowly closed, and his figure disappeared into the void.
Afterward, the black mist enveloping Chen Jiuyang and the others suddenly dispersed.
The Sect Master of the True Demon Sect, the Grand Elder, and Qiu Yihan closed their eyes, as if comprehending something, which should be the reward given by the Patriarch of 'Ba An' just now.
Seeing this, an elder dressed in purple robes announced loudly:
"The ceremony for the Holy Son's enthronement has concluded. For the next fourteen days, our True Saint lineage will hold a continuous feast to celebrate the Holy Son's grand ceremony. Esteemed Holy Friends, please enjoy yourselves."
"Holy Son Qianyang, you may proceed to the sect's main hall to receive all resources and familiarize yourself with the Holy Son's rules."
Chen Jiuyang slowly nodded, dressed in the dark divine imperial robe, and headed towards the True Demon Sect's main hall.
A stone fell from his heart, and then his emotions surged uncontrollably.
With the Old Sword Emperor of the Human Emperor's Path and the terrifying Patriarch of 'Ba An' whose strength was unknown, making a move.
They could break through the Kunlun Holy Land and rescue his wife and daughter.
Chen Jiuyang couldn't help but clench his fists, eagerly awaiting that day.
The Five Great Holy Lands, the Five Pseudo-Daos, were nothing more than pigs and dogs!
His eyes were filled with a chilling gaze, and his perception of the Five Great Holy Lands had long since changed.
Suppressing his emotions, Chen Jiuyang arrived at the True Demon Sect's main hall.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang dressed in a dark divine imperial robe, countless people immediately knelt on one knee:
"Greetings, Holy Son!!!"
Chen Jiuyang, in his dark divine imperial robe, and Qiu Yihan, in her dark gold divine phoenix robe, complemented each other perfectly.
"En."
Chen Jiuyang responded indifferently and walked into the main hall.
"Holy Son Qianyang, of pure character and outstanding talent..."
"Holy Son Qianyang, annual supply of one hundred thousand spirit stones, a guard of one hundred people..."
A series of benefits were bestowed upon Chen Jiuyang, but Chen Jiuyang had no interest in them.
"Holy Son Qianyang killed the true disciple 'Qing Bao', deducting ten thousand spirit stones, actual payment of ninety thousand spirit stones."
After leaving the main hall, Chen Jiuyang descended to his own Holy Son's hall. A thousand exceptionally beautiful women with vastly different styles, ranging from young girls to married women, with various appearances and temperaments.
There was nothing the Demon Dao couldn't prepare for, only what you couldn't imagine.
This was to elevate the status and prestige of him, the Holy Son of the True Demon Sect.
"..." Chen Jiuyang.
Then, outside the Holy Son's hall, countless people from the Demon Dao came to congratulate Chen Jiuyang, wanting to build a relationship with him, the newly appointed Holy Son Qianyang.
The True names of the Nine Sects of the Demon Dao were: Origin, True Saint, Joyous Union, Samsara, Truth, Supreme, Grand Profound, Great Dream, and Pure Unity.
Chen Jiuyang did not want to see these people, wishing to cultivate in seclusion.
However, these people were truly... giving too much.
"Origin Holy Sect congratulates Holy Son Qianyang, presenting one hundred thousand spirit stones."
"..."
"Joyous Union Holy Dao presents a hundred virgin maiden cauldrons of the highest quality."
"..."
Very good, this was very much in line with the Joyous Union Holy Dao.
Various miscellaneous gifts were presented, and treasures were piled up like mountains.
Chen Jiuyang would need resources to cultivate his subordinates in the future if he were to ascend to the position of Sect Master or even control the Nine Meridians of the Demon Dao.
He accepted these resources and then spent three days getting to know the elite upper echelons of the other eight meridians of the Demon Dao.
Afterward, Chen Jiuyang began to publish tasks in the Mission Hall using the resources he had.
"Find clues for disciples of the Five Great Holy Lands and families closely related to the Five Great Holy Lands. Ten spirit stones per entry, tasks can be repeated, but the content cannot be repeated."
As soon as the mission was released, the entire True Demon Sect was in an uproar.
In this newly revived great era, spirit veins were still forming in the world, and spirit stones could not be mined. Spirit stones were a very scarce resource.
What was the value of a spirit stone in the mortal world?
Just finding the whereabouts of disciples of the Five Great Holy Lands cost ten spirit stones. Many disciples of the True Demon Sect thought this was Holy Son Qianyang distributing benefits.
Many disciples were grateful, as resources were indispensable on the path of cultivation, along with wealth, companions, and land.
Chen Jiuyang used other resources to cultivate his subordinates, such as the Forty-six Marquises of Fengsheng, Fang Bahua, Deng Zun, and other disciples. Those with weaker strength were arranged to become disciples of the True Demon Sect under his Holy Son lineage, with no shortage of cultivation methods. Others were assigned to his guard.
Furthermore, Chen Jiuyang also controlled the Azure Bamboo Spiritual Domain. Anyone who reached the peak of Half-step Heavenly Realm could go to the Azure Bamboo Spiritual Domain to break through to the Heavenly Realm.
After Chen Jiuyang released the missions, he intended to use the entire sect's power to rapidly improve his strength.
Which was faster, absorbing spirit stones and meditating to swallow spiritual energy, or directly killing people and swallowing their life essence to increase cultivation?
This was Chen Jiuyang's true purpose.
However, the master of the Non-Aversion Life Blade did not know the function of the Aversion Life Blade.
Then Chen Jiuyang released another mission, which caused a shock among the true disciples of the True Demon Sect.
"Capture alive a disciple of the Five Great Holy Lands or related Heavenly Realm or Nascent Soul stage cultivation, and be rewarded with one hundred thousand spirit stones."
"Also, a top-tier move or technique will be taught."
Wealth moves people's hearts. To outsiders, this was the Holy Son setting an example, showing that they were irreconcilable with the pseudo-Dao. To those inside, the Holy Son was building his own power faction, seeing who could be used and who could not.
This was a combination of the stick and the carrot, a two-pronged approach.
Soon, many disciples came to find Chen Jiuyang.
"We are willing to die for the Holy Son! Let us kill the pseudo-Dao pigs and dogs together!"
