Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 877 - 801: The Strongest in the Demon Realm Is Me
"Lord, although you are not in the Primordial Three Realms, there has always been a legend about you among the realms.
I was born late, merely catching the tail end of the innate lineage, and have never witnessed your supreme majesty, Demon Ancestor.
The first time I heard of your legend was when I saw my master’s Extermination Immortal Sword Formation."
Bai Jin recited, "Neither copper nor iron nor steel, once hidden beneath Sumeru Mountain. Not refined with Yin Yang Reversed, how could it not be tempered by Shuihuo to its sharpness? Slaying Immortals brings profit, Slaughter Immortal dies, Imprisoning Immortal generates red glow everywhere. Absolute Immortal changes boundlessly, Daluo Immortal blood dyes their garment.
What an unparalleled might, what an overwhelming intent to kill."
Luo Hou Saint’s eyes were sharp, perceiving everything clearly. He was somewhat surprised in his heart; Bai Jin’s expression carried a fascination and admiration that could not be feigned. Could it be that he truly admired me this much?
Luo Hou Demon Ancestor did not know that Bai Jin, mingling among the five Saints, had long perfected the skill of controlling his emotions. He could be moved at will, admire at will, leaving no external trace visible.
"At that time, I asked my master if the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation was an Innate Treasure?
My master said it was not, claiming that the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation was refined by the ancient strong one, Luo Hou, and is an Acquired Magical Treasure.
I was shocked then, for to refine an Acquired Magical Treasure that can rival an Innate Treasure, with a sword formation that cannot be broken unless by the Four Saints, is this truly accomplishable by Primordial Immortals?"
Luo Hou Demon Ancestor was immediately scratched at his itch, feeling proud and boastful inside. The Extermination Immortal Sword Formation was indeed a legend in his demonic life, and he said humbly with a laugh, "Actually, I just casually refined it."
Bai Jin exclaimed in surprise, "Demon Ancestor, your casual refining resulted in the first killing formation in the Primordial World. If you were to refine it earnestly, it would be the destruction of Chaos!"
"Haha~ Destruction of Chaos is unlikely. I am not proficient in Sword Dao, but that Tongtian lad is quite good. Although the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation came to be in my hands, its fame was established in the hands of Tongtian, which did not disgrace the sword formation I refined."
"Hehe~ If you have the abilities to leave the Demon Realm, do continue saying so, calling my master a lad. Be careful, my master might stab you with the Four Immortal Slaying Swords."
Luo Hou, intrigued, said, "Anything else?"
Bai Jin quickly said, "Disciple greatly admires your heroism, Demon Ancestor. Single-handedly battling the three tribes of the Primordial World, defeating Ancestor Dragon, Feng Mu, and Tiger Ancestor one by one.
When the three tribes wreaked havoc in the Primordial World, it was you who shattered their great momentum with a single sword. It was truly a battle of one against Heaven and Earth, such courage is unmatched through the ages, as only you, Demon Ancestor, have done."
This was yet another thing he prided himself with to this day, and Bai Jin indeed understood me well. Not bad, not bad, Bai Chen’s simplicity indeed lives up to his reputation, speaking only the honest truth.
Luo Hou Demon Ancestor was promoted to enthusiasm by Bai Jin, and laughed heartily, "Though the three tribes are strong, they are merely a bunch of beasts after all. Overthrowing them was but a reversal of hands; but in the end, it was Hong Jun, that traitor, who ambushed me, even creating these Four Symbols Divine Beasts, extending their race’s qi fortune. It’s simply laughable."
Bai Jin immediately bowed his head, saying nothing. Such matters were not ones he could engage with.
Yet Luo Hou Demon Ancestor did not intend to let Bai Jin off, asking, "Bai Jin, later, in my battle with Hong Jun, it ended with my defeat, did you know?"
Bai Jin pinched the tip of his little finger, saying, "Disciple is not clear about the specific circumstances, only knowing a tiny bit of rumors."
Luo Hou sneered, "Rumors? In the rumors, am I deceitful and wicked, full of evil, while he, Hong Jun, nobly expels evil?"
Bai Jin respectfully bowed, smiling as he said, "Great Demon Ancestor, are you not the demon?
You are the ancestor of all demons under heaven, you are the eternal legend, your name once made all beings tremble, your majesty once enveloped the Primordial World, flashing even to this day.
All that talk of evil and the magic spell of no heaven, aren’t they all praises for you, Demon Ancestor?"
Luo Hou was taken aback, laughing heartily as he said, "Interesting, you’re quite right, I am the demon, I am the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, so Hong Jun has been praising me all along!
Bai Jin, I am growing fonder of you."
"That is the disciple’s supreme honor, as the Demon Ancestor is the shining myth in my heart."
"Haha~" Demon Ancestor laughed twice, casting an extremely satisfied glance at Bai Jin.
Bai Jin felt relieved in his heart, finally having temporarily talked his way through. I must say, this Demon Ancestor is much easier to fool than the Eldest Uncle, probably because being confined in the Demon Realm meant fewer encounters with Immortal Gods, having retained much simplicity.
Luo Hou Demon Ancestor asked, "How did you come up with the method to restore the Star Domain?"
"Reporting to Demon Ancestor, being a third generation disciple of the Mysterious Sect, I have heard much about Taoist Ancestor, having some understanding of him.
Taoist Ancestor acts in all matters based on the compassionate principles of Heaven and Earth, never closing every opportunity, leaving a sliver of life, so after receiving the order, I have been pondering, where the sliver of life for the Star Domain might lie?"
"Hehe~ A sliver of life, merely a cover for his hypocrisy." Luo Hou Demon Ancestor sneered, full of disdain.
Luo Hou Demon Ancestor glanced at Bai Jin, speaking sternly, "You won’t also believe the Demon Ancestor to be compassionate, do you?"
Bai Jin understood immediately, realizing that the Demon Ancestor’s hatred for Taoist Ancestor had penetrated deeply. As a third generation disciple of the Mysterious Sect, his identity was sensitive. If he dared to speak a good word for Taoist Ancestor, he might end up on Demon Ancestor’s blacklist, and for personal safety, he had to swallow his pride.
Master above, please forgive the disciple! The disciple’s sincere heart is always toward the master, but the legend of the Demon Ancestor is too terrifying.
Bai Jin grinned, speaking honestly, "Actually, I have had little interaction with Taoist Ancestor, nor much understanding of him.
The compassionate side of Taoist Ancestor, I truly have not seen, but I have witnessed your unparalleled brilliance and your righteousness shooting through the skies, Demon Ancestor.
Living in the worldly society, we must speak of loyalty."
"Haha~ Back in my days in the Primordial World, I had many followers too, willing to share life and death with me, because we were connected by loyalty. Living in the worldly society, we must speak of loyalty. Follow me in the future, and you shall receive many benefits."
"If Demon Ancestor says so!
Actually, like you, I searched through the Illusion Sea but found nothing.
So I thought, if I were Taoist Ancestor, how would I leave this sliver of life? Initially, I thought about leaving a secret realm within the Star Domain, setting a trial, and if one could pass the trial, they could restore the Star Domain."
"There is no secret realm!"
"Demon Ancestor discerns with clarity, there is indeed no secret realm. Later, I thought, might Taoist Ancestor leave behind a trap in the Illusion Sea, perhaps a statue of a God, and as long as one gains the statue’s approval, they can restore the Star Sea."
"Such shameless deeds, Hong Jun would indeed do, but there is no statue in the Illusion Sea."
"What Demon Ancestor says is true, the sliver of life left by Taoist Ancestor could not be this simple.
Thus, I came to think, what is it that Taoist Ancestor wishes to see?"
"What is it?" Luo Hou Demon Ancestor became interested too, curiously asking.
Bai Jin said seriously, "It should be the most powerful force of the Demon Realm."
"The most powerful force of the Demon Realm? Is it not myself?"
