Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now.

The passage of time will soon prove that the Eight Immortals will emerge one by one, forming a confrontation with the Demon Lord.

With the appearance of Lan Caihe, other beings such as Lü Dongbin (one of the Eight Immortals), Zhang Guolao, and Han Zhongli also descended into the world.

Their existence was concealed by righteousness, which is why the demon lord at the top of the world did not discover their birth.

When the Eight Immortals first encountered righteous magic, their innate intelligence allowed them to grasp its essence at a glance.

His ability to sense the energy of heaven and earth was extraordinary; in the blink of an eye, he reached the level of an ordinary person who had studied magic for ten years.

The speed at which he learned magic was as if a god of magic had descended to earth, a fact that shocked many great mages who had studied righteous magic for many years.

They believed that these eight people were the ones who would overthrow the era of the demon rulers, so they not only passed on all the magic they had accumulated in their lives, but also transferred their own magical power to them.

All for the purpose of quickly training these eight people to overthrow the era of demonic rule.

But for some reason, this news reached the ears of many black magic mages who were loyal to the demons.

In an instant, the news quietly entered the Demon Lord's sight.

At first, they didn't care, but one of them was called "Once Upon a Time," a name that claimed to be able to suppress their demon lord.

At this moment, all the demon lords went mad for this, sending out numerous powerful demons to annihilate the being destined to suppress them.

Meanwhile, the capital city remained silent and in seclusion.

The same is true of Zhou Lan, who lies in eternal slumber above the moon, having comprehended the benefits brought by the power of fire.

The fact that neither side responded infuriated the six demon lords.

However, since they couldn't blame Shen Du and Zhou Lan, the matter was ultimately left unresolved.

And that one who claimed to be the demon lord who suppressed them, unexpectedly perished during a period of turmoil.

After such people fell, the demon lords no longer cared about the actions of human mages and continued their usual pleasures.

The truth is that the person who supposedly died was merely faking his or her death to deceive the world.

Hidden in a remote corner of the ancient Asian continent, they cultivate diligently, striving to reach a higher realm, suppress the demon lord, and usher in an era belonging to humankind.

Chapter 56 The Differences in Monarchical Rule, the Beginning and End of a Mage's Life

Even after the fall of the human mage, who was suspected to be their destined enemy, the era of demonic dominance continues.

Ancient Asia, the land ruled by gods.

The lives of the humans on this continent are like heaven and hell compared to those on other continents ruled by demon lords.

In the territories of other demon lords, humans are treated like ants in the street, subjected to the demons' cruelty and slaughter. Every day and night, countless humans perish at the hands of demons.

As for the humans in the capital, since the capital doesn't want to manage the situation of humans, it won't allow demons to slaughter humans at will.

Otherwise, if all of humanity were to die out, what would be the point of him, the Fire Demon Lord, ruling over the barren ancient Asian continent?

Moreover, there is also the divine avatar, the silver-white dragon Ling'er, who despises many demons. The pride of a dragon makes her regard all normal living beings as ants.

However, since its original nature is that of a human being.

She often takes care of the human population, and humans are the most numerous in her territory.

Right now, in a secluded mansion within the Silver Dragon's territory.

This mansion is the residence of human merchants. Even though it is now an era ruled by demons, merchants have emerged as times have changed.

The ancient Asian continent ruled by the Divine Capital was a feudal society. As the supreme master of the entire continent, no one dared to rebel against the Divine Capital.

The social eras of the other seven demon lords, however, were exceptionally different.

Atlantis, ruled by Basha, is a high-tech era, possessing extremely powerful technology. Some of the most advanced technologies can even threaten the Great Demon, all thanks to Basha's assistance.

The Taiyin Territory of Zhoulan was deserted, except for Zhoulan, the Demon Lord, who resided among the stars year-round. No great demon would choose to submit to him.

As for the social context under the rule of other demon lords, it lags far behind the former three.

The human society ruled by the five demon lords, including Xiaofeng, is a pure slave society, where almost everyone is a slave to the demons.

Even human wizards and mages didn't want to go to the territory ruled by these five demon lords.

Basically, most of the humans who have learned magic, whether righteous or evil, gather in the territory of the gods and Basha.

The former refers to the status of humans in ancient Asia. Although their status was much smaller than that of demons, they could survive in the world as long as they did not offend the demons.

The latter is high-tech, with Atlantis in the endless deep sea and the continents on the surface. Although they are not friendly to humans and are somewhat oppressive, it is still possible to survive.

The territory of the gods and Basha became a paradise for most of humanity.

The territories of the other demon lords are nothing short of hell on earth.

Meanwhile, in the ancient Asian continent, dozens of humans dressed in Taoist robes gathered in the mansion of a human merchant.

Eight of them were chosen by the righteous mages of humanity to be able to contend with the eight demon lords.

They were all the Eight Immortals of ancient times, famous throughout the world.

Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Lü Dongbin, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guojiu are also immortal deities appointed by righteousness.

Right now, they are sitting cross-legged, their bodies emanating extremely powerful righteous energy of heaven and earth, their aura reaching the peak of human mages, the realm of grand mages.

Now, they were filled with confusion. Lan Caihe looked at their master and asked in bewilderment, "Master, why can't the eight of us advance any further after reaching the Grand Mage realm?!"

The other seven people asked the questions together.

Upon seeing this, one of the elders who was teaching them possessed an aura of a rare archmage among human magicians.

However, compared to the eight men led by Lü Dongbin, his imposing manner was like that of a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to grasp the moon's reflection.

The old man said in a weak and aged voice, "We know nothing about anything above the rank of Grand Mage!"

"Since our ancestors comprehended the complete encyclopedia of magic created by the Lord of Fire, they gained their own magic from it, and then gradually improved until they reached the level of a Grand Mage!"

"After that, that ancestor could not advance any further, lived for hundreds of years, and then died completely!"

"Since then, humanity has been trying to break through to the realm above the Archmage, but all to no avail!"

"Ultimately, it has been confirmed among us human wizards and mages that we humans can only reach the level of Grand Mage and Grand Wizard!"

"There is no possibility of going any further!"

"Countless predecessors possessed exceptional talent, yet none of them managed to break through to the level of Grand Mage. I cannot answer your questions!"

As they talked, Tieguai Li asked doubtfully, "Then how do we break the era of demonic rule? Grand Mages can only fight against the great demons under the demon lord's command, what about us?"

"Ahem!" The old man coughed slightly and said in a deep voice, "The eight of you are chosen by the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and there were extraordinary phenomena in heaven and earth at the beginning of your birth!"

"Although countless human mage predecessors could not break through to the level of Grand Mage, you absolutely can!"

"You are the key to defeating the eight demon lords; it's impossible for you to be stuck with the archmage."

"We old fogies can't help you. If you want to break through the bottleneck of becoming a Grand Mage, you can only rely on yourselves."

"The eight demon lords are extremely cruel. You have seen their methods. Our human compatriots live as if in hell, suffering endless torment."

"You cannot let down the expectations of so many of us."

Upon hearing this, all eight lowered their eyes and descended. The magic they practiced was all at the level of a Grand Mage.

He has been stuck at the level of a Grand Master for several years.

With no way forward in sight, they couldn't help but feel despair, yet they also had to shoulder the mission of upholding righteousness, as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on their shoulders.

“If we are stuck at the level of Grand Master for our entire lives, then…” He Xiangu, the only woman among the eight, spoke in a daze.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" an old man in a white robe exclaimed resolutely.

"You are chosen by the righteous spirit of heaven and earth, while the eight demon lords are chosen by the dark spirit of heaven and earth to rule the world!" an old man in a black robe then spoke.

Immediately afterward, another old man in purple robes spoke up: "The world has been dominated by Yin and Yang for thousands of years. The Demon Lord is extremely ferocious, and the righteous energy has entered a stage of counterattack. The eight of us have comprehended the principles of the world, and this is the destiny of heaven!"

"The eight of us are masters of black magic and righteous magic. Four of us are archmages, and four are great wizards. Through the combined power of yin and yang, we have already comprehended the secrets of destiny!"

"The backlash from the imbalance of Yin and Yang has already befallen us, and yet you can still see us now!"

"In a few years, we too will completely disappear from this world!"

"Then, the heavy responsibility of sealing the Demon Lord will be entrusted to you!"

The eight people spoke in unison, recounting the secrets of heaven they had witnessed.

Chapter 57 The Eight Immortals Wander the Mortal World, Righteousness Strikes Back

The master's dying words filled the eight people with sorrow.

But at this moment, Lu Dongbin, one of the eight, asked with a puzzled expression: "Masters, you say that the Demon Lord is extremely ferocious, but why is it that the Fire Demon Lord of this continent, according to human rumors, has not shown any ferocity?"

"On the contrary, he always stayed in the palace and did not concern himself with worldly affairs."

"The demons under his command will not easily slaughter human lives!"

Upon hearing this, the Eight Immortals were stunned for a moment, before they could even speak.

Tieguai Li's eyes flashed with a glint of light as he realized that Lü Dongbin's words made some sense. He thought that he was born in the territory ruled by the Water Lord, and although his human status was somewhat lowly, he would not easily die at the hands of demons.

Thinking of this, Tieguai Li couldn't help but speak up: "The Water Lord Basha, in her territory, although humans are lowly, they will not die easily."

"Besides, the Moon Lord Zhou Lan doesn't seem to have done anything to harm humans, does he?!"

The two rebuttals caused the eight elders, who were focused on guiding the eight people to defeat the Demon Lord, to change their expressions drastically.

"If they weren't demon lords, how could humans be slaves? Even if some demon lords aren't particularly cruel, they are still demons after all!"

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"

"We humans would be better off without the rule of demons!"

"Moreover, don't forget that you were hunted down by the demon army under the Demon Lord, which caused the mages and wizards who protected you to disappear from the world!"

"That's precisely why the eight of you are already locked in a life-or-death feud with the eight Demon Lords!"

"You have no chance of relief. Good and evil are irreconcilable. You only have one path: to defeat the eight demon lords!"

"It's either them or you who die; you have no other choice!"

"."

The words of the eight elders were like a thorny bramble, piercing the hearts of the eight people and shattering their illusions.
