In his Closed Door Meditation, Minghe tried to comprehend what he learned from the Zixiao Palace teaching. The Magical Tao Mirror had recorded the law of 3,000 Divine Law seeds on the Way of Great Way, yet it was better not to bite off more than one could chew. At present, Minghe had mastered four Divine Laws and any more would just encumber his cultivation.
Lots of masters went back to do meditation just as Minghe had done. Yet there were others who were not in a hurry, like Emperor Jun and the Great One. They went to their headquarters in Untainted Land instead of directly returning to the Solar Star.
Hundreds of masters had also attended the Zixiao Palace teaching together with Emperor Jun and the Great One. Among them were notably the Ten Sacred Demons, who were the most powerful. They were: Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Fei Dan, Feilian, Jiu Ying, Shang Yang, Bai Ze, Qin Yuan, Ci Tie, and Gui Che.
These ten demons had the highest cultivation, second to Emperor Jun and the Great One. All had reached Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak after the teaching, and Emperor Jun and the Great One made great progress and achieved the Early Stage of Sage-to-be, which gained them high prestige among other demons.
In the past, though the Demon Tribe regarded Emperor Jun and the Great One as the Demon Emperor and Royal Demon, for they had powerful treasures and were on par with the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery, but in actual fact, most of them just pretended to obey their orders. After all, they were just Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
While it seemed the Demon Tribe was united, the truth was they were in a state of disunity. Besides large numbers of Demon Tribes gathering around their headquarters, there were more Demon Tribes living scattered far and near. Unlike them, the Wu Tribes lived like a circle spreading out, centered by the Hall of Pangu, which overwhelmed the Demon Tribes.
However, it was different now as both Emperor Jun and the Great One made a breakthrough to Sage-to-be cultivation. Moreover, both of them were changed from the Three-Legged Golden Crows and were quite familiar with the Law of Fire. It was these two Divine Laws that they relied on to breakthrough from the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to Sage-to-be during the teachings.
In addition, Emperor Jun, as the Demon Emperor of the Demon Tribe, also knew the Law of Sovereignty. When he made progress on mastering the Law of Fire, his enlightenment on the Law of Sovereignty also reached the Early Stage of Sage-to-be. What's more, the two laws complemented each other, which was a power to be reckoned with.
Emperor Jun and the Great One could only be considered as the real Emperors of the Demon Tribe now. Emperor Jun planned to take this opportunity to unify the Demon Tribe in order to form a formidable force on par with the Wu Tribe.
The number of demons in the Demon Tribe was more than ten times that of the Wu Tribe, but many were just minions. In terms of combat power, the former had less than the latter. Moreover, many demons did not join in their cause, such as Fuxi, Godness Nvywa, and Peng Kun of the Northern Underworld. If they joined, the Demon Tribe's strength would have definitely increased.
In the Demon Tribe's headquarters, Emperor Jun and the Great One gathered the Ten Sacred Demons and all the Demon Tribe's tribe chiefs in order to discuss the plan for their future development. Emperor Jun easily gained the upper hand through the breakthrough of Law of Sovereignty and reaching the Sage-to-be Realm.
Emperor Jun was quite satisfied looking at the demons sitting before him. With the pressure from his Sage-to-be aura, primordial power of Law of Sovereignty, and together with help from the Great One, the demons were willing to pledge their allegiance and acknowledge him.
Having achieved the expected effect, he relaxed, and the demons beneath him also felt at ease. Emperor Jun said, ”All of you are elites of our Demon Tribe. I call you here to discuss the great plan for our development.
”Though we have hundreds of billions of a population, our overall strength is weak, as we are scattered everywhere, and many masters have not joined us yet. Unlike us, the Wu Tribe are headed by the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery, while invading our territory bit by bit. In the long run, we will be in danger of extinction of our entire tribe.”
