Chapter 181: The Demon Sect

Meng Huai, the master of the Great Dao of Performance, has always been the most restless soul in the Tai Sha Tiangong.

And this time, the Demon Sect is naturally another one of his masterpieces.

"I just reduced your sentence, and you're already acting up again?" Xuanqing looked at Meng Huai. Every time he came to the Tai Sha Tiangong, he would see him pulling some stunt, and never the same one twice.

Meng Huai cried out in grievance from within the Hell of Calamity, shouting loudly: "Heaven and Earth are my witness, Sect Master, this really has nothing to do with me!"

"It was all the fellow disciples' own free will."

"Yes, yes, yes! We voluntarily formed the Demon Sect!" The inmates in the various hells echoed Meng Huai.

"We sincerely believe the Demonic Path has a boundless future, bright and magnificent, and we truly yearn for it in our hearts. Therefore, at the suggestion of Fellow Daoist Meng Huai, we formed the Demon Sect on the spot!"

And you still say it wasn't you?

Xuanqing looked at Meng Huai, who was feigning innocence, and shook his head: "The Demon Ancestor possesses holy virtue and masters the Heavenly Dao of Holy Virtue. Even if he were to establish a sect, he would prefer to call it the Holy Sect."

"Demon Ancestor? What Demon Ancestor?"

Meng Huai chuckled: "Our establishment of the Demon Sect has nothing to do with the Demon Ancestor."

He looked toward the other hells and asked in a clear voice: "Fellow disciples, tell the Sect Master, who is the Supreme God of our Demon Sect?"

"The Primordial Heavenly Demon!" the disciples shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

"Did you hear that, Sect Master!" Meng Huai looked at Xuanqing with tears in his eyes:

"From now on in the Primordial World, we are outer disciples of the Chan Sect; in the Netherworld, we are disciples of the Nether Holy Sect; but when we arrive at the Demon Realm, we shall identify ourselves as followers of the Demon Sect!"

"We in the Demon Sect are united as one, and we sincerely support you as the Demon Sect Master!"

"The Demon Ancestor was just an accident."

"You are the Heaven of our Demon Sect."

"As the saying goes: The sky has no two suns, and the gods have no two masters!"

"In our hearts, there is only ever the Sect Master, the one sun."

The group of outer disciples said in unison: "In our hearts, there is only ever the Sect Master, the one sun!"

What is all this nonsense?

What heaven, what sun—where did they learn all this?

Chan Sect, Nether Sect, Demon Sect—are you trying to integrate all three sects into one?

Xuanqing gave Meng Huai an annoyed look and said: "You really are a genius of mischief!"

Meng Huai was invigorated and overjoyed: "Thank you for the praise, Sect Master!"

"I will continue to make persistent efforts and strive to lead my junior brothers and sisters to create new brilliance!"

As a mighty figure who cultivates the Great Dao of Performance, Meng Huai had no concept of shame and would climb up any pole offered to him.

"Want to continue your efforts?" Xuanqing stared at Meng Huai for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"There will be an opportunity."

"Really?!" Meng Huai's eyes widened, and a feeling of surprise welled up from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't get punished for causing trouble, and the Sect Master actually intends to support him!

He knew Xuanqing never spoke empty words; if he said there was an opportunity, there was definitely an opportunity.

Fu Zhu sat quietly in the hell, originally waiting for Xuanqing to increase Meng Huai's sentence, but Xuanqing just laughed it off and even indicated that Meng Huai had done a good job!

Is it true that only by pulling stunts can one survive in the Tai Sha Tiangong?

"Then have I gone down the wrong path by focusing my whole heart on becoming a ghost god?"

Fu Zhu fell into deep self-doubt.

Xuanqing arrived at the Inner Universe.

When passing by the B-8 containment station, the 【Calamity Heavenly Dao】 let out a strange laugh.

"Calamity! Calamity!" Seeing Xuanqing arrive, the 【Calamity Heavenly Dao】 was very excited, jumping up and down inside the containment station, its round ball of light emitting a dim glow.

"Coal ball, what are you shouting about? So annoying!" In the B-9 universe, the containment object 【Evil Spirit Heavenly Dao】 was very dissatisfied and shouted:

"Isn't it just going out for a stroll? What's there to be so smug about?"

"Yapping on and on all day long!"

The 【Calamity Heavenly Dao】 had its mood interrupted and was very unhappy, so it mocked the 【Evil Spirit Heavenly Dao】:

"Pfft, pfft, pfft~"

"Hey, that's a fiery temper I have!" The 【Evil Spirit Heavenly Dao】 exploded instantly, banging against the cosmic barrier with a clatter.

Seals were activated one after another, and countless rules manifested in the B-9 universe, extending like divine chains with a clatter, covering the sky.

"Hmph!" The 【Evil Spirit Heavenly Dao】 snorted coldly, glancing warily at Xuanqing outside the guardian barrier, not daring to make any more trouble.

"That's more like it!" Xuanqing looked at the Evil Spirit Heavenly Dao with a smile, "You are all Heavenly Daos and fellow inmates; you should love and care for each other!"

The 【Evil Spirit Heavenly Dao】 immediately retorted: "Who is loving and caring for him?"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft~~" The 【Calamity Heavenly Dao】 continued its mockery.

Inside the B-10 universe, the 【Bad Luck Heavenly Dao】 no longer had the dejected look it had when it first arrived. Its spirit was decent, it was no longer self-secluded, and it could communicate normally.

Watching the two fellow inmates bickering, the 【Bad Luck Heavenly Dao】 chuckled contemptuously: "Two dim-witted fellows!"

"Who are you talking about? You jinx!" The 【Evil Spirit Heavenly Dao】 was furious.

"Calamity, calamity!!"

The two Heavenly Daos, who were just mocking each other, immediately stood united against a common enemy.

They began to target the 【Bad Luck Heavenly Dao】, outputting wildly.

Seeing this scene, Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't they loving and caring for each other now?"

Bidding farewell to the B-series universes, Xuanqing continued deeper.

Just as he stepped into the A-series universe, he heard the loud voice of the Darkness Demon God.

"Light, Light, how did you get in here?"

"Light, weren't you determined to break into the Primordial True Realm?"

"Light, tell me about the Infinite Universe. How did the Greed Demon God play you?"

"Light, do you know? You have to thank me for being able to get in. It was I who asked the Nether Emperor to have you captured!"

"Quick, come and thank me!"

Ever since the Light Demon God entered the Tai Sha Tiangong, the Darkness Demon God's good days had arrived.

Locked in this sunless Tai Sha Tiangong, the only object he could communicate with was Xuanqing, and Xuanqing didn't come often. This made the Darkness Demon God's prison life very dull and boring.

Every day was either spent playing cat-and-mouse with the Oil Cauldron Hell or performing supreme epics in his own spiritual world—playing with himself.

But with Light, it was different; he could finally communicate with someone! "Can you shut up!" The Light Demon God sat quietly in the A-4 universe, not wanting to pay any attention to the Darkness Demon God, but he couldn't stop the other from chattering endlessly.

"I just don't understand, the Oil Cauldron Hell has been reinforced, you aren't busy fighting against it, so where do you get so much energy?" Before the Light Demon God fell into slumber, he had planned to lie down for another epoch and wait for his recovery.

But he hadn't expected Xuanqing to fish him out.

Although he was locked in the Tai Sha Tiangong, at least it wasn't lying like a corpse in the River of Time or returning to the beginning of the world to be hit by Pangu's axe.

Therefore, at the beginning, the Light Demon God was quite grateful to Xuanqing.

After all, the other party had helped him take revenge and incidentally nailed the coffin lid of the Infinite Heavenly Sovereign.

But the existence of the Darkness Demon God made the Light Demon God feel that he might as well have stayed in the River of Time; at least it would have been quieter.

"I have abundant energy, isn't that because you're here?" The Darkness Demon God chuckled: "Before, only I was suffering, although later there were the remnant souls of Shen Cang and Destruction, but those two couldn't communicate!"

"Only you are of sound mind!"

"I suffer, and you suffer; my hell is reinforced, and your hell is reinforced; we share all emotions, and I am no longer suffering alone."

"Do you think I can't be happy?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Thinking that the Light Demon God was locked in because of him, the Darkness Demon God's mental state became even better.

"You fellow really deserve to die!" The Light Demon God gritted his teeth at Darkness.

Harming others without benefiting oneself, truly worthy of being the Darkness Demon God!

"I am already a god who has died several times, it doesn't matter at all." The Darkness Demon God laughed brightly.

"Then would you mind dying a few more times?" Xuanqing suddenly appeared in front of the Darkness Demon God, giving him a fright.

"Mind, I mind very much!" The Darkness Demon God shook his head frantically, not daring to follow Xuanqing's lead at all.

This scene was seen by the Light Demon God, immediately causing him to mock: "I thought you weren't afraid of anything?"

The Darkness Demon God didn't reply.

Except for Pangu and Xuanqing, he really wasn't afraid of anyone.

But the former was invincible and deadly; the latter was unserious, which was even more deadly!

His heart was darker than his own as a Darkness Demon God.

If he hadn't been born in the Chaos Era, the title of Darkness Demon God would have to be given to Xuanqing, and he would only be fit to sit at the children's table.

"Fellow Daoist, don't hold such great guard against me."

Xuanqing smiled: "I have always been kind to others, which is well-known throughout the Primordial World."

The 'well-known' on a tombstone, right... The Darkness Demon God was vigilant in his heart, feeling that Xuanqing must have something up his sleeve; otherwise, why would he come to visit the prison?

"There is a stroke of fortune that requires Fellow Daoist's help, are you in?" Sure enough, Xuanqing got straight to the point and asked: "It's very simple, just to bolster the scene for our Demon Sect."

"Bolster the scene?" The Light Demon God's expression flickered slightly.

"Yes!" Xuanqing looked at him and smiled: "If Fellow Daoist Light is willing, you can come too."

"I plan to establish a sect in the Western Land recently, and I need a few Vice Sect Masters who can stand on the stage."

"The two Fellow Daoists are exactly the candidates I have my eye on."

"Establish a sect?"

The Darkness Demon God hesitated: "What are the benefits?"

"Qi Luck!" Seeing the Darkness Demon God loosen up, the smile on Xuanqing's face grew even wider: "Being a Vice Sect Master of the Demon Sect comes with great Qi Luck!"

"How about it, are you in?"

Great Qi Luck?

The Darkness Demon God was tempted.

"What are the downsides?" He was still uneasy.

"The downsides are very small."

Xuanqing said: "It's just that you might have your scene smashed, and the Vice Sect Master will have to step up; it's best not to get beaten to death."

"Just that?" The Darkness Demon God was somewhat surprised. Mere being beaten to death—that can't even count as a downside!

The Light Demon God looked at the eager Darkness Demon God and thought for a moment: "I can go and see."

"But I have one more condition."

"Please speak!" Xuanqing looked at the Light Demon God seriously.

"I want to return to the Divine Court to take a look." The Light Demon God was afraid Xuanqing would misunderstand, so he added: "I won't do anything else, just take a look."

"I want to see where I lost!"

"No problem!"

Xuanqing agreed.

"The two Fellow Daoists, follow me first." Xuanqing had the Tai Sha Tiangong relax its suppression of the Demon Gods.

Light and Darkness were freed in an instant.

"I am finally free, hahaha!"

The Darkness Demon God laughed endlessly.

Beside him, the Light Demon God curled his lips: "Free? Look at who is in the Oil Cauldron Hell?"

Huh?

The Darkness Demon God looked back, only to see that in the Oil Cauldron Hell, there was still a figure soaking inside; looking at that appearance, wasn't it himself?

"Fellow Daoist, you don't keep your word!" The Darkness Demon God was furious.

Xuanqing was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"I didn't agree to release you, Fellow Daoist?"

"After finishing the work and enjoying the Qi Luck, you still need to come back to serve your sentence, Fellow Daoist."

"What?" The Darkness Demon God's vision went black.

Doesn't that mean I'm just serving a paid prison sentence?
