Xu Zimei and Jiuyou left the Nine Heavens Imperial Sect and, soon after descending Nine Skies Mountain, found themselves surrounded by a group of people.
These people were all clad in cyan-blue robes with a white Saint Heir emblem on their backs.
"Realm Emperor Holy Sect," Jiuyou recognized their attire and immediately reacted.
"Young Master Lin, our sect’s Saintess would like to invite you over for a visit. Would you be willing?" the leading disciple asked with a smile.
"What’s the matter?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
"The Saintess didn’t say, we are just the messengers," the leading disciple responded.
"What if I choose not to go?" Xu Zimei continued to inquire.
"The Saintess said there is no coercion, but if you want to understand more about the Demon Race, you might as well meet her," the disciple replied.
"Where is she?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Huohuang City," the leading disciple responded.
"Then let’s go take a look," Xu Zimei said with a smile, following the disciple toward Huohuang City.
"Did you already know she would seek you out?" Jiuyou asked by his side.
"More or less," Xu Zimei nodded.
After the group entered Huohuang City, they went straight to an inn.
Inside the inn, there were no other guests, only Huangfu Hao and his sister Huangfu Xianyue were leisurely enjoying their tea.
"Young Master Lin, long time no see," Huangfu Hao turned around, saying with a light smile.
Xu Zimei nodded slightly and sat down beside him along with Jiuyou.
Huangfu Xianyue waved her hand, and the group of disciples left, standing guard at the inn’s entrance.
"Miss Huangfu, what did you want to see me for?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"Young Master Lin, first tell me, are you of the Demon Race?" Huangfu Xianyue’s beautiful eyes twinkled as she asked with a smile.
"Is that very important?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Young Master Lin, you can stop being mysterious. My sister has a natural affinity for sensing energy. She can’t be wrong," Huangfu Hao said from the side.
"Stop calling me Young Master Lin as if we’re familiar. Are we?" Xu Zimei looked at Huangfu Hao, speaking indifferently.
"I am of the Demon Race, now speak," Xu Zimei nodded, replying.
"Brother Xu, do you know the history of the Demon Race?" Huangfu Xianyue asked.
Xu Zimei shook his head; the Demon Race in this world likely had some connection with himself.
After the Cosmos Ze Era ended in destruction, some of the Demon Race were sealed within the Ancient Demon Cave, while others like Bai Meng remained in the Yuan Central Continent.
As for the likes of Demon Thirteen, they probably entered the Eternal Ancient Continent.
But the Demon Race from the Eternal Ancient Continent, perhaps due to their annihilation, was something he hadn’t even begun to understand.
Before Huangfu Xianyue could speak, Jiuyou at his side had already responded, "During the Divine-Demon Era, there were three most powerful forces in the world.
The Divine Race, the Demon Race, and other races.
The Divine and Demon Clans were the supreme existences and also the strongest.
Their conflicts were unending and wars were frequent. The Eternal Ancient Continent endured thousands of years of war between the two."
"It seems this lady knows quite a lot," Huangfu Xianyue said with a smile.
"Indeed, at that time the Divine and Demon Clans were supreme, and even when other races united, they could only struggle to survive.
But for some unknown reason, one day, the Divine and Demon Clans engaged in an earth-shattering war at the Divine Demon Battlefield, leading to the mutual destruction of both clans.
Only then did the other races begin to slowly develop to form today’s structure."
"What are you trying to say?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Do you know why the Divine and Demon Clans were so powerful initially?" Huangfu Xianyue asked.
"Divine Demon Body," Jiuyou said from the side.
"The Divine Race possesses the Divine Body, and the Demon Race has the Demon Body; these are unique physiques that not only provide incredible defense but also allow for the continuous recovery of spiritual energy.
These are unmatchable by any other races."
"It seems this young lady knows even more about the matters of the Divine and Demon Clans than I do," Huangfu Xianyue said with profound meaning, giving Jiuyou a glance.
"You asked me here just to tell me this?" Xu Zimei asked.
Speaking of the Demon Body, common members of the Demon Race only possess ordinary Demon Bodies, but he, on the other hand, has the Supreme Prison Suppressor Demon Body, and this he knew more clearly than anyone else.
"Since Brother Lin is a remnant of the Demon Race, I wonder if you have inherited the Demon Body?" Huangfu Xianyue continued to ask.
"The Demon Body must be possessed by a complete demon. Generally, whether it’s remnants of the Divine Race or the Demon Race, they cannot obtain the Demon Body," Jiuyou said.
"You’re right, but I know of a way that could allow Brother Lin to obtain the Demon Body," Huangfu Xianyue said.
"What way?" Jiuyou quickly asked.
Huangfu Xianyue glanced at Jiuyou, then turned to Xu Zimei, saying, "Brother Lin doesn’t want to know?"
"There’s no such thing as a free lunch, state your conditions first," Xu Zimei said.
"My condition is very simple. I want Brother Lin to join our Realm Emperor Holy Sect," Huangfu Xianyue said.
"Furthermore, the formation of a Demon Body is not something that can be achieved overnight. During this period, Brother Lin must trust me unconditionally."
"Let me join the Realm Emperor Holy Sect, just like that?" Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"Brother Lin may not know, but even within the Realm Emperor Holy Sect, there are several factions. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
My father leads the Crimson King Faction, one of them. So, I also hope that after Brother Lin joins the Sect, he will join our faction," Huangfu Xianyue said.
"That’s no problem," Xu Zimei nodded.
"Then if Young Master Lin has no other affairs, get ready to follow us back to the Realm Emperor Holy Sect," Huangfu Xianyue said.
Xu Zimei nodded, and after the group exited the inn, they went directly to the Teleportation Array in Huohuang City.
On the way, Jiuyou looked at Huangfu Xianyue and asked, "Do you have a way to obtain the Divine Body?"
"Of course," Huangfu Xianyue nodded and said, "Why? Do you know any remnants of the Divine Race?"
"No, just asking," Jiuyou replied with a smile.
The group arrived at the Teleportation Array in Huohuang City. As the main city of the Nine Heavens Imperial Sect, Huohuang City could directly teleport one to Heavenly Realm City, the main city of the Realm Emperor Holy Sect.
And the Realm Emperor Holy Sect was located behind Heavenly Realm City.
Watching the Huangfu siblings step into the Teleportation Array, Jiuyou looked at Xu Zimei on the side and asked, "Do you really believe what she said?"
"Of course not," Xu Zimei laughed.
"Then why are you going," Jiuyou asked, puzzled.
"Simply a matter of mutual benefit," Xu Zimei gestured dismissively and also followed into the Formation.
...
As one of the two holy sects of the Southern Domain, the Realm Emperor Holy Sect had a history of tens of thousands of years.
Speaking of the Realm Emperor Holy Sect, one must mention its founder, Realm Emperor.
Actually, he could have been called Realm Saint, but due to habit, most people still referred to him as Realm Emperor.
"Realm" is often used as a synonym for a space.
There is a legend that the Realm Emperor Holy Sect is actually located in a different space, on a different plane from the Eternal Ancient Continent.
