Chapter 824 The Secret of Peace! Old 9’s Wedding

No. 82! Lao Jiu's wedding

Inside the Temple of Peace, five masses of flesh and blood were suspended on the empty altar, exuding a different kind of brilliance.

Ryuzo's spine, Kong Xiang's bones, Sky Demon's flesh and blood, Duobao's arms, Black Sky's essence and blood... each contained the power of the five demon gods.

This is also all the demon power that Zhou Dao has collected so far.

Buzz…

The flesh and blood of the five demon gods were like floating stars, exuding a strange luster and intertwined with each other, creating a faint outline.

"The core of the concept of peace, what is the use of this altar?" Zhou Dao murmured softly.

Ever since he obtained the concept of peace, he has been studying it painstakingly.

This empty altar is the core of the entire Taoist temple, and only the power of the devil can activate it.

Now, Zhou Dao seems to have found the most critical component of this altar, which is the mysterious incense burner.

Buzz…

Zhou Dao's thoughts moved slightly, and the mysterious incense burner appeared in the Peace Temple, standing on three legs, with two ears hanging.

In an instant, the ancient altar trembled violently, and the power of the five demon gods suddenly boiled. The escaping streams of light were like the divine light that shattered the starry sky, and had the potential to break the concept of peace.

Almost at the same moment, the secret pattern within the Ping An Temple emerged, as if the setting sun suppressed the terrifying fluctuations.

"It is indeed one."

Zhou Daoruo moved, looked at the incense burner, activated the Hunyuan magic power, and melted into the incense burner like sesame oil.

Suddenly, strange marks appeared on the surface of the three-legged incense burner, intertwined with each other, and finally turned into a strange rune.

The rune glowed with a strange luster, and in an instant, the Hunyuan mana in the furnace began to burn crazily.

The incense rose and melted into the empty altar.

Rumble…

At this moment, the empty altar finally changed.

Catalyzed by the incense, the flesh and blood of the five demon gods squirmed crazily, and strange shadows slowly rose, dominating the sky and the earth, across the starry sky.

"The Devil's Dharma!?" Zhou Dao's eyes darkened slightly.

In the midst of the incense, the five demon gods' dharma appearances actually appeared. This is their true form, with different postures. They once came to the world as gods in ancient times.

"Ryuzo Demon God!"

Zhou Dao squinted his eyes and saw a huge and ferocious demonic dragon hiding in the void, but on its back was the manifestation of a formidable white bone dragon vertebrae.

Rumor has it that the Ryuzo Demon God was conceived from Yuanzu's spine.

"Dobao Demon God!?"

Zhou Dao's eyes moved slightly and he finally saw the true form of Demon God Duobao.

It has thousands of arms and legs, and its round body is like a meat sack, covered with eyes.

The demon god, whose form is closest to humans, has nineteen different skulls of creatures hanging around his neck.

The Demon God of Space Phase is a plankton, constantly squirming and devouring everything around him.

The Black Sky Demon God is actually a creature that looks like a black hole, with countless tentacles extending from it.

The five demon gods manifested themselves, guarding the center of the altar and occupying their respective positions.

Amidst the lingering incense, a shadow emerged above the altar.

It was a god, an extremely strange creature, nourished by the devil, as if it was being gestated.

"What is this!?" Zhou Dao's expression changed slightly.

At this moment, he finally knew the true purpose of this magical power in Ping An Temple.

"It's creating... creatures?" Zhou Dao was a little in disbelief.

At that time, the true form of Yuanzu was killed by the ancestor.

Later, the Patriarch of Longhu Mountain found the body, split it into twelve parts, and scattered them all over the world. Over time, twelve terrifying creatures were finally born.

This is the origin of the twelve demon gods.

From the source, they are part of the ancestors.

But now, the magical power of Ping An Guan seems to be absorbing their power to give birth to a new creature, completely different from the creature of Yuan Ancestor.

"It's really interesting." Zhou Dao frowned and observed the looming shadow in the center of the altar.

The power of the five demon gods alone cannot make it completely manifest, but Zhou Dao can also see the clues.

His Hunyuan mana burned crazily, and every breath was enough to kill a strong man in the mana realm. The power of incense produced formed the foundation of the living shadow.

It is not only absorbing the power of the five demon gods, but also absorbing their life information, and is decomposing and reorganizing at an extremely terrifying speed, and applying it to its own formation.

"This is not the power planned by the Sunset Sect..." Zhou Dao murmured softly.

Sunset and Yuanzu have been fighting for endless years. They know that Yuanzu is immortal and almost difficult to defeat.

Therefore, at a certain point, the ancestors of the Sunset Sect gathered the Taoist masters from all over the world to seize the creation of heaven and earth, reversed the long river of destiny, and finally planted a seed.

That is the Yuanwang Dharma Assembly.

King Yuan's power is not boundless and invincible. You must know that when Zhou Dao inherited the throne of King Yuan, he was only in the realm of refinement.

What it represents is hope. If you become King Yuan, you have the qualifications to escape fate.

Since the refining stage, he has walked his own path step by step, and finally transcended, becoming a life that can rival Yuanzu.

This road is extremely difficult and dangerous, and it is almost impossible to succeed.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless Yuan Kings, but no one has been able to make it to the end.

It wasn't until Zhou Dao mastered the Da Luo Dharma Realm that he finally seemed to see hope in this path.

This is the plan of the Sunset family that spans the ages.

But the concept of peace is not in this plan.

The true function of this ancient Taoist temple is to gather the power of the twelve demon gods...

"What kind of creatures will be created?" Zhou Dao looked suspicious.

It stands to reason that if the twelve demon gods reunite, they will transform into the true form of Yuanzu.

Although Demon God Duobao was at odds with Zhou Daoxu at the beginning, his worries were real.

But now, the aura born in the center of the altar is completely different from Yuanzu.

At this moment, Zhou Dao seemed to feel that there was an invisible big hand, starting from the oldest years, promoting the development of cause and effect in all things.

Now, the end seems to be getting closer and closer.

"good."

Zhou Dao's eyes bloomed with unprecedented splendor. As long as he could gather the power of the twelve demon gods, he could completely activate this altar and see the end.

As time goes by, although these twelve supreme beings have long since declined, there are always clues to be found.

The Demon Control Division, the Great Qin Royal Family, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Six Great Gates, the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth... we will definitely be able to find the remaining power of the demon god.

"Huh!?" Zhou Dao's peripheral vision swept over and landed on the strange creature in the center of the altar.

Under his calculation, the life information of the five demon gods became extremely simple, and it seemed that there was no mystery left at all.

"The power of the devil..."

Zhou Dao was thoughtful and gradually became immersed in the mysterious calculation.

…

The winter is cool, and the capital city is covered with a layer of silver.

The heavy snow came very late this year.

The [Winter Candle] has been hung high in front of the Demon Control Department. The huge milky-white candle lit up a bright yellow fire, which will burn until the beginning of next spring before it is extinguished, which means that the winter night will last forever and all people will be safe.

This is a rule that has been passed down to this day since the time of Taizu.

"This flame is so bright that it can burn until next spring?"

"Boy, you're new here. Zhaodong Candle is made according to ancient recipes. It requires more than 980 kinds of materials. It is harvested in spring, made in summer, made in autumn and dried in winter... All demon-slaying guards come here to ask for good luck. In order to wish you peace in the coming year."

"There are so many rules in the capital, so interesting."

In front of the gate of the Demon Control Department, a young man was carrying a bag and looking at the rising flames, with deep surprise and longing in his bright eyes.

Every year at the beginning of spring and winter, the Demon Control Department of each city will select new recruits and come to the headquarters for training. The outstanding ones will be qualified to stay in the capital.

There are not a few young people like this. They are considered outstanding in their hometown, and some of them are even geniuses who are proud of their peers.

But when they arrived in the capital, under the feet of the True Dragon Emperor, the once bright light seemed extremely dim.

After three or five years, the destinies of these people will gradually become different, and the differences between them will slowly appear.

Some people may return to their hometowns, continue to stick to their posts, and die on the way to control monsters one day. Those who are more lucky, like Zhang Beixuan, become the second or third person in the town, and then retire honorably.

Some people will stay in the capital and advance rapidly, hoping that one day they will reach a high position and even become a big shot in the capital.

Completely different destinies, but they once had a brief intersection in this capital city when they were young.

"I must stay."

The young man held his hands tightly and walked into the gate of the Monster Control Division's headquarters with enthusiasm.

"It's a good time of year to recruit new people."

At this moment, in the attic not far away, Zhou Daozheng was silently watching everything in front of the Demon Control Division's door.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

Wang Xiaoyi picked up the already warm wine flask on the table and poured a glass of wine. The heat was slightly intoxicating and the aroma of the wine was overwhelming.

"Where have you been these days?"

Next to him, Huo Jinli, who had not been seen for a long time, spoke.

Since breaking through the demon-god calamity and returning to the capital from Longhu Mountain, Zhou Dao's fiancée, the apple of the eye of the current imperial master, has gained a little plumpness, and her originally thin and shriveled body has become a bit more distracting. flavor.

Even Zhou Dao couldn't help but want to play with it when he saw it when he came back.

"Of course I have official duties." Zhou Dao grinned.

He has an external incarnation [Yuan Shi True King] far away in the Demon Suppressing Division, so his real body can naturally return to the capital at any time.

Moreover, he now has the identity of [Dark Lord] and is of high authority. Naturally, no one can explore his traces at will.

"On official business? Have you gone to find Su Linglong?" Huo Jinli stared at Zhou Dao warily, and moved closer to him, with a faint fragrance coming over him.

Zhou Dao couldn't help but laugh. He had never seen Su Linglong since the destruction of Longhu Mountain.

"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you come into my room at night and look through it."

"I...I don't want..." Huo Jinli's momentum suddenly weakened by three points.

"You can go now."

As he spoke, Zhou Dao secretly pinched Huo Jinli. The latter snorted softly and his face suddenly turned red.

"You...what do you want to do?"

"Okay." Zhou Dao grinned.

"you……"

"Hey Hey hey……"

At this moment, Wang Xiaoyi couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table.

"It's broad daylight, I'm still alive, can you carry someone else on your back?"

"Cough cough cough!" Huo Jinli coughed twice after hearing this.

Zhou Dao also smiled and stopped joking.

"Look, someone jumped off the building."

"In the Beijing Cuju Competition, [Shamen Team] defeated [Meiting Team] two to one, which was an unexpected upset."

"You wait a moment, I'll jump first, let me come first..."

"I staked all my money on it, and now it's all over. Can you line up?"

At this moment, there was a shouting downstairs, and then a group of people swarmed towards the end.

Jumping off a building is not something you see every day even in the capital.

Such excitement naturally attracted countless onlookers.

"Tsk tsk, the capital is still bustling and lively." Zhou Dao couldn't help but sigh after drinking a glass of wine.

The headquarters of the Suppressing Demon Division is located outside the Great Wall, lacking a lot of the fireworks of the human world. Only by returning to this capital city can Zhou Dao occasionally forget that he is still in the human world and forget about those cultivation struggles.

"Exciting? There are even more exciting things." Wang Xiaoyi grinned.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Dao asked smoothly.

"Lao Jiu is getting married soon."

"What!?"

Zhou Dao was surprised. When he left the capital, the Ninth Prince was still alone. How long ago was he going to get married?

You must know that a prince's wedding is no small matter. It not only pays attention to family status, but also requires the approval of the palace and involves many forces.

It looks like a marriage, but it is actually an exchange of rights.

"Which family's girl? Who said the match?"

"I don't know." Wang Xiaoyi shook his head.

"Huh!?" Zhou Dao was slightly startled.

The prince's wedding is a big event, and the ninth prince is on good terms with Zhou Dao and others. How come he doesn't even know which girl is from that family?

"I just don't know. According to the news from the palace, His Majesty has agreed to get married by the end of the year, but no one knows which family the girl is from now." Wang Xiaoyi also looked confused.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Dao felt a little strange.

"Yesterday, His Majesty also summoned my father to the palace to choose an auspicious day. "Although Huo Jinli stayed at home, he was aware of the latest happenings in the capital, not to mention that her father was the current imperial advisor.

The prince's wedding was indispensable without their family.

"It's interesting. It seems that I will find an opportunity to visit Lao Jiu."

Zhou Dao murmured, "He has only been back for a short time. He spent most of his time studying ancient books and secret files, tracing the traces of the devil. Many people do not know the news of his return to Beijing."

…

Capital, Lu Mingxuan.

Winter snow covered the yard, and a few deer leaned out from a distance to stare at the snow falling on the trees, which seemed quite interesting.

In the pavilion, the stove was burning brightly, and the temperature inside the room was much higher than outside, so much so that the Ninth Prince only wore a single piece of clothing.

"I heard that King Yuan is back."

At this moment, a woman's voice rang out from the house. It was ethereal and melodious, echoing a thousand times, as if it contained an irresistible magic power.

"I came back a few days ago." The Ninth Prince whispered.

"Prince Yuan is famous all over the world, I would like to meet him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bead curtain was raised, and a woman slowly walked out.
