Chapter 1 The Seven Holy Demon Palaces! The Fairy Sect Master!

In this world, the Immortal Dao thrives, and sects of the Immortal Path dominate, while demonic sects remain in a weak and suppressed position.

Demonic sects are constantly oppressed, suffering greatly under the pressure. Some spineless demonic sects have even secretly pledged allegiance to the Immortal sects, becoming their vassals—or worse, their servants.

In everyday matters, these demonic sects simply act as tools for the so-called righteous sects, carrying out unspeakable deeds behind the scenes.

In truth, all of it boils down to the major Immortal sects vying for power and resources. The dirty work that can’t be done openly gets handed off to these demonic vassals in secret.

Those who once fought dragons have now become dragons themselves—when the demonic path is suppressed, the so-called righteous path reveals its true, corrupt nature.

…

Great Desolation, Guluo Prefecture. Here lies the Sacred Demon Mountain, a bastion of the demonic path that has endured for tens of thousands of years. Sacred Demon Mountain is actually composed of seven palaces: Sacred Demon Palace, atop Sacred Demon Peak

Xuan Yin Palace, atop Xuan Yin Peak

Battle Demon Palace, atop Battle Demon Peak

Reincarnation Palace, atop Reincarnation Peak

Freedom Palace, atop Freedom Peak

Taiyin Palace, atop Taiyin Peak

Moon-Watching Palace, atop Moon-Watching Peak

The strongest figure in each palace is titled Palace Master. Thus, Sacred Demon Mountain has seven Palace Masters in total. With its ancient heritage and deep roots, Sacred Demon Mountain refuses to bow and become a mere vassal of the Immortal sects.

The current Supreme Leader of Sacred Demon Mountain is none other than the Palace Master of the Sacred Demon Palace: Fairy Duanmu, Duanmu Yan. She is also known as the Grand Palace Master.

Fairy Duanmu is breathtakingly beautiful and unparalleled in talent, possessing exceptional martial prowess along with a calm and resilient temperament. Hence, she was unanimously chosen by the elders of Sacred Demon Mountain to be the leader of the new generation.

Freedom Palace is like a celestial paradise—its spiritual energy is rich and abundant, full of natural beauty and vitality. Chu Tian, the son of the former Palace Master of Freedom Palace, took over the position reluctantly after his parents went on a journey together—both to hunt down an old enemy and to seek breakthroughs in their Dao.

If someone came from another palace, they would notice immediately.

The spiritual energy within Freedom Palace is dozens of times richer than that of the other palaces. Only the Grand Palace Master, Duanmu Yan, knows this secret.

No one else is allowed to step into Freedom Palace without Chu Tian’s permission. He has engraved a powerful defensive formation over the entire palace—only a Saint Sovereign level cultivator could hope to break through it!

And in today’s cultivation world, no Emperors walk the land, no Saints reveal themselves. The strongest beings known now are merely Dao-Seeking realm experts.

“Whew… Without realizing it, I’ve been in this world for one hundred and ninety-nine years now,” Chu Tian stood at the edge of a cliff atop Freedom Peak, gazing at the misty, dreamlike landscape before him, and murmured to himself.

“System-kun, initiate the annual check-in!”

[Ding! Check-in successful. Total accumulated check-in time: 199 years.].

Chu Tian let out a sigh, his voice tinged with a trace of nostalgia. He had now been checking in for one hundred and ninety-nine consecutive years.

Daily check-ins, monthly check-ins, quarterly check-ins, annual check-ins—he had obtained countless heaven-defying treasures. Chu Tian was no longer the man he once was—his power was now unfathomable. Yet he had always been cautious by nature and disliked flaunting his strength before others.

“Hmm, I feel a bit thirsty. Let’s have a Xiantian (Innate) Peach to quench it.”

Chu Tian waved his hand.

Whoosh!

A vermilion Xiantian Peach fell from a tall spiritual tree in the distance and flew straight into his palm. It was none other than a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root… the Xiantian Peach Tree!

It bloomed once every thousand years, bore fruit once every thousand years, and each fruiting would yield several hundred peaches!

For ordinary mortals, even inhaling a wisp of its fragrance could extend their life by a hundred years. And eating one would grant 18,000 years of lifespan. To mortals, this was essentially immortality.

This very Xiantian Peach Tree was a treasure Chu Tian had received from the system after 40 years of check-ins. It was an exceptionally rare treasure, which he planted in the Palace of Freedom, enriching the spiritual energy of the entire palace.

Even the region around Saint Demon Mountain was subtly affected. The spiritual energy grew thicker, and the number of rare herbs and spiritual creatures increased significantly.

Elders in the Seven Palaces often wondered to themselves.

“Why has breaking through become so much easier lately…?”

Crunch…

He took a bite of the Xiantian Peach—fragrant and rich, the flesh was sweet and juicy. As the juice flowed through his body, every fiber of his being relaxed.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You’ve received the 199-Year Check-in Reward: Ancient Divine Weapon… the Demon Ancestor’s Godslaying Spear!].

Chu Tian casually tossed aside the half-eaten peach, his expression turning from shock to elation. This time’s reward was a supreme innate divine weapon!

In the entire Yanhuang Realm, only the Ancient Sacred Lands and a few archaic great clans possessed such weapons. These superpowers had been around for millions of years, thanks to ancestors who had once reached Emperor-level might.

But now, Chu Tian had obtained a divine weapon just by checking in. And it had only taken 199 years!

Currently, only Tianxuan Sacred Land and Star Ancient Sect in the whole Great Ruins Domain possessed divine weapons. Now, Chu Tian would own the third ancient divine weapon in the region!

“Heh… looks like I’ll be able to walk sideways through the Yanhuang Realm from now on!”

“Anyone who dares provoke this Palace Lord—one shake of the Demon Ancestor’s Godslaying Spear, and the spear’s howl alone could shatter them to dust!”

Chu Tian fell into quiet contemplation. Though his cultivation was already immensely powerful, there’s always that unpredictable variable.

In the future, when he inevitably descends the mountain, having this supreme weapon by his side would give him undeniable confidence!

Boom…!

At that very moment, as the system notification sounded—The void above the Palace of Freedom suddenly shattered with a thunderous roar. From the broken space emerged an ancient, dark spear!

The Demon Ancestor’s God-Slaying Spear!

Billions of runes flowed across its shaft, imbued with natural Dao resonance, exuding a primordial aura of chaos as if from an epic tale. This phenomenon shocked the heavens. The aura of primordial chaos was overwhelmingly dense, and divine radiance blazed brilliantly—It brought with it an unparalleled sense of oppression and destruction!

The mere appearance of the Demon Ancestor’s God-Slaying Spear caused all the laws of heaven and earth to wail in sorrow—As if they could not withstand the great Dao laws imprinted on the spear’s body!

Boom rumble…!

Crack!

The forty-nine saint-level grand formations that Chu Tian had arranged outside the Palace of Freedom trembled violently, and in the blink of an eye, were covered with cracks.

Boom rumble…!

At that moment, the entire region of the Seven Palaces of the Sacred Demon Mountain began to shake violently. Vast divine might swept through the sect, even engulfing the entire ancient Luozhou. Then pressing down upon the entire Desolate Domain, and even sweeping toward the martial-prosperous Central Lands!

In an instant, deep within all the superpowers of sacred-land level—Ancient monsters suddenly opened their eyes, divine light shooting from their gazes toward the Desolate Domain!

Even deep within the two sacred lands of the Desolate Domain, ancient beings emerged from secluded cultivation, gazing towards the Sacred Demon Mountain. In the Desolate Domain, a divine might appeared that only ancient artifacts could possess!

Moreover, this terrifying aura was unquestionably from a supreme artifact the likes of which they had never seen or even heard of before!!
