The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chapter 205: Demon Mother

Far outside the circle.

The Demon Palace, the territory of the Night Demon Clan.

Mingye's true form took a deep breath and spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body trembling.

He clenched his fists, his hair had all fallen out, and he couldn't believe it.

"Just one word completely destroyed one of my clones... what exactly was that thing?"

"Why is there a mother's presence deep within Chi Miao's consciousness, and why... is there a mother's aura there?"

Mother, not his mother, but the mother of the entire demon race.

The demon race has a sacred place called the Holy Palace. Every demon must go to the Holy Palace to awaken their bloodline after reaching the Demon Core stage and before reaching the Demon Infant stage.

Bloodline determines one's future status and nobility; some special bloodlines can even bring about inheritance and mutation.

The walls surrounding the Holy Palace record one of the oldest and most mysterious histories of the demon race—the birth of the demon race.

The murals on the Holy Palace record how the "Mother" created the Demon Race, and at the same time... the Holy Palace also retains the aura of the "Mother".

They respectfully call her "Mother," and she is the common faith of all demons—the Demon Mother.

But no one had ever seen the "mother" in person.

Strangely, the woman deep within Chi Miao's consciousness bore a striking resemblance to his "mother"!

What on earth is going on?!

"Night Raven!"

He shouted, and then the crows that had appeared out of nowhere suddenly gathered together, revealing a demon man wearing a crow mask.

"My lord, you're back?" He spoke calmly, but when he looked up and saw Mingye's new look, he almost burst out laughing and quickly covered his mouth with his hand: "My lord, your new look is quite refreshing."

Nightfall: "..."

He took a deep breath and then said, "The temperature in the human area has indeed been very high lately, so I created this brand new look. What... you want one too?"

The crow shook its head: "No, it's ugly."

Nightfall: "..."

Then what are you yelling for!

Will they be able to read the devil's face?

Mingye snorted coldly: "Come with me to the Holy Palace."

Night Raven stared in astonishment, her eyes wide: "My lord...you...you went into the circle and even got pregnant? Then...where is the young master? Who did you have this son with?"

Mingye, unable to bear it any longer, shouted: "I gave birth to nothing! I went to be someone else's son!"

Night Raven: "Huh?"

Mingye: "...I've found the Demon Mother's aura within the circle. I need to go to the Holy Palace to confirm it again."

The crow's pupils suddenly contracted.

"The Demon Mother? How...how could this be?!"

The Demon Mother is the faith of the entire demon race.

Whenever the Demon Mother appears, even the Demon King has to obediently call her "Mother" and show her respect.

That being created the entire demon race!

"You...you're not kidding, are you? The Demon Mother...isn't that the legendary one?!"

Mingye closed his eyes: "The aura... is exactly the same, which is why I need to confirm. If it really is the Demon Mother, then..."

He's finished.

The Demon Mother is inside Chi Miao's sea of consciousness. If he kills Chi Miao, the Demon Mother's whereabouts will also vanish.

Therefore, he had to confirm and conceal all of this sooner, otherwise... such a crime would be enough to disqualify him from becoming the Demon King, and even solving the demon famine would not be enough to offset his sins.

……

the other side.

Gou Shi System: "I remember now!"

Still struggling and showing signs of giving way, Chi Miao looked completely bewildered: "What did you remember?"

She and Xingchen Xudan are working themselves to the bone to solve the demonic energy problem, what are you thinking? It's so ridiculous.

The key issue is... after all that time, we haven't even managed to eliminate one-tenth of the demonic energy!

If this continues, she might actually slip and fall here!

Gou Shi System: "Take out your jade pendant for a moment."

Chi Miao: "?"

This is in her sea of consciousness, or more simply, in her mind.

How can she take it?

Gou Shi System: "Take it when I tell you to."

Chi Miao: "Oh."

She had a sudden thought, and then she spread her hands.

The jade pendant suddenly appeared in his hand.

A combination of the dragon-patterned jade and the jade pendant given by the Supreme Elder.

Let's just call it Dragon Pattern Jade for now.

No... you can really produce it?!

Since the battle at Wan Jin Auction House and the combination of the jade pendant, she has inquired about the jade several times.

But her master had no idea of the jade's existence, and she herself... could only sense that the jade had healing and spiritual power-enhancing effects.

She doesn't usually use it, so she just treats it as a decoration.

I never expected... that this jade could be taken directly from my sea of consciousness, that's really amazing.

Just as she was feeling sentimental, something even more incredible happened.

The jade in his hand began to purify the surrounding demonic energy, gradually transforming it into higher-quality spiritual power!

The speed was so fast that it was more effective than all the effort she and that Star Core had put in. The demonic energy was visibly being purified!

However... the spiritual energy that is transformed in this way does not retain any Dao essence.

Chi Miao tried to absorb this spiritual energy, and apart from being more concentrated than ordinary spiritual energy, there was nothing special about it.

But it doesn't need to have anything special about it; this ability is enough to solve her immediate problem!

Chi Miao's eyes burned with fervor: "This thing is so amazing! How did you know this jade had this function? You're a hidden talent, young man!"

Gou Shi System: "I don't know."

Chi Miao: "?"

Gou Shi System: "I felt that demonic energy was very familiar, so I racked my brains and came up with this."

Chi Miao squinted: "You? You're familiar with demonic energy?"

Gou Shi System: "Don't overthink it! I'm on the side of justice! You can't question my noble and sacred soul!"

Chi Miao: "I didn't say anything. Is there anything else you can think of?"

She had long suspected the form and reason for the existence of the Gou Shi system.

This is her first time encountering demonic energy, yet the Gou Shi System says it's familiar... Maybe if she follows her memories back, she might actually find something to match.

The Gou Shi system remained silent for a moment before continuing, "It's not just the demonic energy that feels familiar, but also the dragon-patterned jade and the star-shaped illusory core on your body. I have a sense of familiarity with them as well."

Chi Miao: "...?"

"How come everything you're familiar with comes from Tantric Buddhism?"

The things on her body are more or less related to Tantric Buddhism.

Chi Miao suddenly had a bold guess: "You wouldn't happen to be the Holy Maiden of Tantric Buddhism, would you?!"

So in the end, all of these things ended up on her.

The Gou Shi System was speechless: "Saintess my foot! I'm not even human. I think you're the one who's calling yourself a saintess!"

Chi Miao squinted, absorbing spiritual energy as he pondered.

With the jade pendant, she was temporarily out of trouble.

Can……

She could also feel a new power surging into her body.

Suddenly, the sound of the Weeping Sword reached my ears.

"Master! Be careful! They've gone dirty... I can't take it anymore!!"
