How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Hearing Han Bingli's words, the seven-tailed fox spirit Mei Niang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly kowtowed, "Thank you, heroine! This lowly demon thanks you on their behalf!"

The other six demons also showed joy. Although they were now under the control of others, at least they had saved their lives and could continue to protect the younger generation of their clan.

"Alright, alright." Jinxiao waved his little wings impatiently: "Since you've agreed, then stop dawdling."

"You seven, now open your minds so that I, the Divine Phoenix, can place restrictions on you."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the seven great demons changed slightly.

Once they open their sea of ​​consciousness, they are essentially handing their lives over to someone else. If the other party harbors even the slightest malice, their souls will be instantly crushed, leaving them no chance of reincarnation.

Seeing the demons hesitating, Jin Xiao's tone immediately turned cold: "What? You're unwilling?"

Upon hearing this, the seven-tailed fox spoke first: "Divine Phoenix, this humble demon is willing, I will immediately open my sea of ​​consciousness!"

"Meiniang is right, we are willing too." The other six demons nodded in agreement and then sat cross-legged on the ground.

In an instant, seven faint auras emerged from above their heads, like seven hazy halos.

Jin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.

"Rest assured, as long as you behave, I, the Divine Phoenix, will not make things difficult for you. But if you dare to have any disloyal thoughts..."

Jin Xiao sneered: "With just a thought from me, your beast souls will instantly turn to ashes."

After saying that, Jin Xiao's figure flashed, transforming into a golden-red stream of light, and went straight to the seven demons. Seven golden-red divine flames separated from Jin Xiao's body, like seven thin fire snakes, and precisely drilled into the seven demons' sea of ​​consciousness.

"ah--!"

The seven demons simultaneously let out a muffled groan, instantly sensing something new in their sea of ​​consciousness.

The feeling was as if an invisible hand had reached deep into their beast souls and planted a brand in their very core.

Little Ningyun stared wide-eyed at the scene with curiosity: "Wow, how amazing! Jinxiao, will this make them behave from now on?"

After doing all this, Jin Xiao returned to Xiao Ningyun's shoulder, proudly raising her little head: "The Heavenly Phoenix Restriction that I placed on them is the Phoenix Clan's Heavenly Phoenix Restriction, which is much more powerful than ordinary restrictions!"

"If they dare to resist, with a single thought from this Divine Phoenix, I can annihilate their souls and bodies, condemning them to eternal damnation!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ningyun's eyes lit up: "Jinxiao, then when we go to play in the future, we can have them fight for us."

"Hehe! When something happens, the underlings should go first. People like us usually come out last," Jin Xiao replied smugly.

The seven great demons slowly opened their eyes, knowing that from this moment on, they were subordinates of the people in front of them. Without the slightest hesitation, they quickly stood up and bowed: "We greet the two divine beast lords and the six young masters."

Han Bingli stepped forward and waved her hand: "No need for formalities, just tell me what you know!"

The seven-tailed fox spirit, Mei Niang, quickly bowed, her voice respectful yet tinged with trepidation: "Reporting to the young master, the Demon Emperor's Tomb is located within the Heavenly Roc Divine Palace ahead, but... we have never been inside."

"Why?" Han Bingli's gaze turned cold.

"Because the Heavenly Roc Temple has an array of restrictions personally set up by the Demon Emperor." The Seven-Tailed Fox lowered its head, its voice becoming increasingly respectful: "That restriction is incredibly powerful, and even though we have tried many times, we have been unable to break it."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Devouring Python hurriedly echoed, its eyes filled with fear. "Young Master, we also mustered up the courage to test it, but the array restrictions of the Heavenly Roc Temple were simply too terrifying; even the power of a Quasi-Emperor couldn't budge it in the slightest!"

Han Bingli frowned slightly, her tone tinged with displeasure: "Hmph! Is that all you know?"

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Python trembled in fear and hurriedly explained, "Young Master, spare our lives! We truly do not know what is inside the Heavenly Roc Temple. However, our ancestor's dying words mentioned that the Demon Emperor's coffin is in the temple, as well as the Inheritance Hall, the Treasure Vault... Whether this is true or not, we have no way of knowing."

Upon hearing the words "inheritance" and "treasure trove," Xiao Ningyun, Chen Ping'an, and Chen Daoxuan's eyes lit up instantly.

The Devouring Python continued, "However, none of what I just said is important. The most important thing is..."

The Devouring Python paused, a solemn look flashing in its eyes: "The ancestors' last words said that there is a shocking secret hidden in the Heavenly Roc Temple."

"Oh! A shocking secret?" Han Bingli's gaze sharpened, her interest instantly piqued. She quickly pressed for details, "What secret? Did your ancestors ever mention it?"

Upon hearing this, the seven great demons shook their heads simultaneously.

The seven-tailed fox spoke softly, her voice tinged with helplessness: "This earth-shattering secret was never told to our ancestors by the Demon Emperor. In their last words, they only mentioned that there was an earth-shattering secret hidden in the Heavenly Roc Temple, but as for what it was... the Demon Emperor didn't say, and our ancestors didn't know either."

"But we can be certain of one thing." The seven-tailed fox raised its head, its tone firm: "This secret is absolutely extraordinary. Otherwise, the Demon Emperor would not have told our ancestors that there is a shocking secret hidden in the Heavenly Roc Temple, and would have made the seven great demon clans guard the tomb here."

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.

Little Ningyun's eyes widened, her face full of curiosity: "A shocking secret? What secret is it?"

Upon hearing about the earth-shattering secret, Su Qingruo, Ling Yunzhi, and the others were all somewhat taken aback. A secret left behind by a demon emperor must be extraordinary.

But... what kind of secret could make even a demon emperor call it a shocking secret?

Han Bingli also fell into deep thought. After a moment, a resolute look flashed in her eyes. She turned to look at Xiao Ningyun and the others, and said in a low voice, "If we want to know this secret, it seems we must enter this Tianpeng Divine Palace."

Everyone nodded, looking rather impatient.

Han Bingli turned to look at the demons and said softly, "Take us to the Tianpeng Divine Palace!"

The seven-headed demon, disregarding its injuries, quickly rose and bowed: "Yes, esteemed divine beasts, and please follow us, young masters."

A moment later, the seven-tailed fox spirit led everyone to a wide open square.

"My two divine beast lords, my young masters, we have arrived."

The seven-tailed fox stopped and pointed ahead: "This is the Heavenly Roc Temple."

When they arrived, they had seen the palace from a distance, but now that they were up close, they were all stunned.

What a magnificent building this is!

The temple stood dozens of feet tall, its entire body cast from an unknown golden material. Ancient patterns flowed across its surface, each pattern radiating a faint golden light, as if containing boundless power.

Above the palace roof stands a colossal statue of a golden-winged roc, its wings spread wide, as if it were about to take flight and soar into the sky at any moment.

The temple gate tower is inscribed with four large ancient seal characters – Tianpeng Temple.

The four large characters are imposing, each stroke seemingly containing the will of the Demon Emperor, exuding a suffocating pressure.

The entire temple resembled an ancient, eternal deity, overlooking all things in the world. Its majesty inspired a sense of awe in all who beheld it.

"What...what a magnificent, imposing temple!" Chen Daoxuan's eyes widened, his voice trembling.

Chen Ping'an was also stunned, muttering to himself, "Is this the Heavenly Roc Temple? How majestic."

Little Ningyun's mouth dropped open: "Wow! What a huge palace! Although it's not as grand as Master's Sect Master's Hall, this place is much more beautiful, all golden."

Jin Xiao narrowed his eyes, a solemn look flashing in them. Even after more than 200,000 years, the aura he exuded still made people's hearts tremble.

It could sense that the formation here was very strong, and even it might not be able to break it.

"The Heavenly Roc Divine Palace?" Han Bingli looked at the four large characters on the gate tower and spoke softly, her voice still carrying a hint of shock: "As expected of the former supreme being of the demon race."
