Chapter 47

Unlike the situation with the Donghua Fairy, Ji Xiang was now enveloped in eleven streams of celestial light. Because cultivators of the Golden Elixir Path had to undergo demonic trials, the heavens were assigning "examiners" for Ji Xiang.

However, the fluctuation of this demonic energy was excessively vast. Furthermore, one of Ji Xiang's eleven streams of celestial light was the power of the Heavenly Devil. The ascension and attainment of the position of Demon King through the demonic path was something that had almost never happened in history.

In the Devil Heavens, whether it was the most common Five Heavenly Demon Kings, who often busied themselves with the ascensions of mortals, or the Eight Emperor Demon Kings, who were responsible for eliminating evil scholars in the Devil Heavens...

Or even the Three Great Heavenly Devils, almost never mentioned, directly under the command of the Northern Emperor, the Demon-Quelling King, who did not care about demonic ascension trials, but only existed as the strongest combat force to eliminate all evil and vile monsters in the world... all these Demon Kings were innate beings. There had never been a case of a demon scholar ascending to the position of Demon King!

Because there was simply no such thing as a "demon cultivator" in the world!

The so-called demon cultivators were nothing more than those who had gone astray in their cultivation, succumbing to demonic obstacles from which they could not extricate themselves. Such people were not true cultivators at all, but merely failures who had lost themselves in their cultivation. Not to mention ascension, they could hardly reach the Pure Yang realm. Even if there were such individuals who were lost in demonic obstacles and wanted to risk their lives to ascend and attain immortality, they would absolutely not be able to pass the demonic trial.

The true demon cultivators were only those who cultivated the Jade Purity Hidden Book, but since it was called the "Hidden Book," it meant that this was not a method meant to be passed down in the world.

Therefore, the emergence of the first acquired Demon King would naturally cause a shock in the heavens. Although the True Spirit Rank Chart's grade was unknown, and might even surpass ordinary immortal artifacts, the power of Da Fuli could still reach here.

Accompanied by rolling dark clouds and lightning, before the demonic trial, the Heavenly Gate above Ji Xiang's head opened automatically, and the shadow of Thunder City was reflected within, seemingly observing where this sky-piercing demonic pillar came from. If such a powerful and ominous evil were to appear in the world, then a thunder tribulation would be降下punishment.

But unfortunately, the aura of the Heavenly Devil was quickly identified by them, and Thunder City gradually faded away. The Devil Heavens began to descend, and several dazzling rays of light pierced through the dark clouds, descending from the Heavenly Gate into the world within the True Spirit Rank Chart!

Boom! Five divine tablets surrounded Ji Xiang, and they were the Five Heavenly Great Devils!

The Eastern Azure Heaven Great Devil King, the Southern Scarlet Heaven Great Devil King, the Northern Black Heaven Great Devil King, the Western White Heaven Great Devil King, and the Central Yellow Heaven Great Devil King!

Ji Xiang had already witnessed the methods of these five Demon Kings.

"The Azure Heaven Devil King shakes people's seven emotions, manifesting all kinds of illusions; the Scarlet Heaven Devil King makes people passive and indolent, sinking into hell; the Black Heaven Devil King increases people's six desires, making them fearful and thus repentant; the White Heaven Devil King unleashes greed and attachment, manifesting all kinds of longing and reluctance; and the Yellow Heaven Devil King drives diseases and poisons to directly kill people."

The demonic trials of the Five Heavenly Demon Kings were all different, and Ji Xiang had already prepared himself. However, next, eight more divine tablet shadows swayed down from the sky, and they were actually the Eight Emperor Great Devils who were in charge of eliminating evil!

This made Ji Xiang once believe that this demonic trial was not allowed by the higher-ups, and a battle was inevitable. But to his surprise, the Eight Emperor Demon Kings did not emit any divine light. Like ordinary dead memorial tablets in temples, they became motionless after descending.

Immediately following, three majestic streams of pure energy fell from the dark clouds.

The Three Great Heavenly Devils!

"What is this for? This isn't necessary, right? This has already exceeded the number of eleven celestial pillars. Are you planning to have all the Demon Kings test me in turn?"

"Although I used many methods to stack up to immortality, there are also methods among them that don't belong to the Golden Elixir Path, such as blood qi becoming immortal, and some methods that have never existed before in history. You don't have to be so harsh on me, right?"

Even though Ji Xiang had entered Da Fuli many times, he had never seen the Three Great Heavenly Devils. This was the first time he had seen them. However, immediately following, several more independent streams of pure energy fell down, with different speeds and distances.

Ji Xiang saw the names on some of the divine tablets, and his heart was suddenly greatly shaken.

The Taixuan Devil King, mainly monitors other Devil Kings in matters of ascending people.

This Devil King only existed in the legends of ancient scriptures, and was a being never seen within Da Fuli.

His duty was to monitor whether other Devil Kings were being fair in ascending people. What did this sudden descent mean?

Looking at the other divine tablets.

The Fei Tian Devil King, mainly compares and contrasts the sins and karmas of all spirits in the world.

The Ling Tian Devil King, mainly increases or decreases the merits and virtues of the ten devils in the world.

Five streams of demonic light descended, carrying the radiance of stars. Collectively known as the Five Dipper Great Devils, they controlled the concealment and manifestation of the light of the constellations.

Following them were the various Heavenly Devil Sovereigns, the eighty thousand Heavenly Devils, and the Northern Emperor, the Demon-Quelling King.

Almost the entire Devil Heavens descended, also carrying countless huge black divine banners, all of which had the words "Ten Absolutes" on them.

The Devil-Summoning Ten Absolutes Spirit Banner was a divine artifact for summoning the Heavenly Devil soldiers.

Amidst Ji Xiang's vigilance, countless incense offerings burned from the divine tablets of the various Heavenly Devil Kings and Sovereigns, and the incense gradually transformed into their legendary images. Among them, all the Devil Kings wore robes with dark patterns, wore crowns that spanned the heavens, and had dragon-headed swords hanging from their waists.

The various Heavenly Devil Kings and Sovereigns began to chant ancient scriptures, and the vast sound caused a reaction in the demonic energy on Ji Xiang's body.

This was not a demonic trial.

It was "ascension"!

Ji Xiang had not yet cultivated the Jade Purity Hidden Book to the fourteenth lesson, but he had already seen in advance the peerless method that could only be cultivated in the seventeenth lesson - the Song of the Devil Kings of the Three Realms!

This blessing from the heavens landed on Ji Xiang. The Devil Kings, led by the Northern Emperor, the Demon-Quelling King, were not following the usual examination process.

At this moment, the Five Heavenly Great Devils cupped their hands, recommending Ji Xiang;

The Eight Emperor Devil Kings looked down, examining Ji Xiang's martial skills;

The Ling Tian Devil King examined the pillar of merit above Ji Xiang's head, issuing a sound of approval;

The Fei Tian Devil King examined the sins on Ji Xiang's body, and made an evaluation;

The Five Dipper Great Devils examined Ji Xiang's heavenly position and fate.

The Taixuan Devil King examined the "replies" of the other Devil Kings, and then made a final decision.

The Devil Kings recommend him, ascend to the sky!

Among the eleven streams of celestial light, the power of the Heavenly Devil flew to the high heavens, and in the darkness, it condensed into the divine position of a Devil King. The various Heavenly Devil Kings chanted praises of his meritorious deeds, and at this moment, the Jade Purity Hidden Book actually directly rose to the fifteenth lesson!

Advancing two lessons in a row!

[Jade Purity Hidden Book: Fourteenth Lesson - Chapter of Majesty and Spirit (Perfected)!]

[Blessed Divine Power: Five Heavenly Great Devil Seal!]

[Blessed Divine Power: Eight Emperor Great Devil Summons Ten Thousand Heavenly Devil Soldiers Talisman - Great Exorcism Treasure Chapter!]

[Jade Purity Hidden Book: Fifteenth Lesson - Chapter of Reception (Perfected)!]

[Blessed Divine Power: "Golden True Jade Light Purple Text" - Northern Emperor Demon-Quelling Method!]

Only by reaching the Chapter of Reception could one be considered to have entered the ranks of Devil Kings, and be able to ascend people and even conduct demonic trials for the world!

Ji Xiang had no time to carefully examine these three great divine powers, because immediately following, a blood-red sky appeared in the Devil Heavens, floating like blood qi, but without an owner. It seemed to be a world opened up by Ji Xiang himself in the Devil Heavens, waiting for a new master to move in.

At the same time, in the Western heavenly position, a burst of Buddhist sounds and chants, followed by several streams of Buddha light and divine tablets descended.

The East has devils, the West has Buddhas, and in the Southern heavenly position, various images of heavenly gods appeared, instantly merging into Ji Xiang's body. This was the great gift of the Lingbao Heavenly Lord, and this was the method of Han Immortals attaining the Dao!

In the Northern heavenly position, images of Mongolian heavenly gods appeared, which were extremely easy to recognize. This was because Ji Xiang had seized the power of an entire country from the Eastern Royal Court, so these images of gods would also be driven by Ji Xiang, and now they even recognized Ji Xiang as being "on their side."

The power of Corpse Dissolution, the power of Merit, and the power of Incense are all roads to immortality in themselves. At this time, they all merged into Ji Xiang's body. Because all three paths could avoid the demonic trial, and did not even belong to the rigid category of the Golden Elixir Path, the power of the Immortal Dao erupted from these three paths first.

In addition to this, the eleventh power was the power of the True Nothing Two Supreme Books, the condensed power of the Bitter Sea world,衝临冲临冲临冲临衝临冲临immortal position.

Amidst such a vast and mighty array, at this time, the tenth celestial pillar, which had been silent all along, began to stir.

In the northwestern sky, a vast radiance in the shape of a cross appeared, and a pair of hands seemed to emerge from it, wanting to receive and guide Ji Xiang over.
