The place of birth is very important, just like Brother Gou; he chose the wrong spawning point, and just displayed a bit of kingly presence after his rebirth, attracting two top bigwigs from the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
The order of events is also crucial because it can explain why Chen Mushi, Pavilion Master Chen is here.
It all started with Lily.
After Lily was tossed to the ground, she realized Zhang Ze hadn't come up with her.
And there were sounds of fighting coming from below; her timid nature flared up, and she didn't dare to go down, but she was also worried about Zhang Ze's safety.
So without a Sound Transmission Jade, Lily used all the Thousand Mechanism Thunder and various other things she could find to shoot up into the sky.
They exploded into a big firework, used as a signal flare.
On the Sword Pavilion side, Mei'Er and Chen Qin found no trace of Lily in the Inner Sect, and at this moment, they just happened to reach near the Celestial Driver Valley.
Seeing so many Thousand Mechanism Tools exploding in the air, Chen Qin immediately realized that something might have happened to Zhang Ze or Lily.
She activated a Divine Movement Talisman on her, instructing Mei'Er to quickly take her there.
And that Divine Movement Talisman was given to her by her big brother Chen Mushi when she was born.
With the activation of the Protective Talisman, Chen Mushi naturally sensed it.
He could arrive instantly because he was nearby.
Since the day he first saw Zhang Ze, Pavilion Master Chen's Old Ascender radar had been going off non-stop.
Though stopped once by his father, the Sect Leader, a child is still a child, and every word from their father counts, why else would there be family rules.
So Chen Mushi still secretly sneaked into the territory of the Seventh Sword Pavilion.
As for the Third Sword Pavilion, it was always the same, whether he was there or not, during his centuries of either seclusion or wandering.
Chen Mushi intended to probe Zhang Ze, the Small Ascender's reality.
He just hadn't thought of a reason for appearing here, so he hid his cultivation, wandering in the village and town outside the Sword Pavilion range, pretending to be an ordinary teacher.
And he stayed for a month.
When he sensed the Divine Movement Talisman he gave at Chen Qin's birth being activated.
He no longer concealed his cultivation, took a step, and instantly covered a hundred miles to enter the Celestial Driver Valley.
Just as he entered the valley, he noticed the demon qi released by the Black Dog King, took another step directly entering the cave.
Zhengyi, feeling Chen Mushi's presence but not knowing his intentions, naturally followed closely behind to appear beside him.
Then they saw a Golden Core Peak Dog Demon.
Speaking of the Dog Demon, he can also be called Black Dog King or Black Fog Shadow Guard, but that's not important, so let's call him Brother Gou.
Brother Gou's memory remained in the primordial era of chaotic battles between gods and demons.
However, during his reincarnation within the Stone Pill, something went wrong, leaving many of his memories vague and unclear.
He only remembered leading the Shadow Guards with the Demon Monarch to the sea.
He couldn't recall the Demon Monarch's name, the reason for going to the sea, what was in the sea, or why he turned into a Stone Pill.
But he remembered one thing.
It was that our Black Dogs, under the Demon Monarch's leadership, were invincible.
The Human Race, just food.
The Demon Race, slightly tougher meat but still just food.
The sea offered salty grilled meat.
The sky had flying grilled meat.
We demons were born to eat, eat, eat, kill, kill, kill.
When Brother Gou awoke 200 years ago from the Stone Pill, and was just about to unleash his divine power, he was discovered by the passing Fuji.
Fuji, remembering the Venerate's teaching, weaved a net of dreams and suppressed Brother Gou in this cave for two hundred years.
Brother Gou's sleep became even more muddled, still believing it was the ancient primordial era.
So, after Brother Gou completely freed himself, the first thing he wanted was to eat Fuji, then find his Demon Monarch and continue to dominate the world by eating it all.
In his understanding, the world was still as wild and savage as back then, demons were supreme, and he had only slept for at most five hundred years.
Five hundred years is too short.
In that period, the strongest humans were mere half-step Core Formation, a clumsy imitation of demon cultivation.
Looking at the two old men who suddenly appeared here, he thought of them only as old meat likely to stick between his teeth.
"Ignorant ants, I will feast upon you both to satisfy this demon's hunger first."
Zhengyi and Chen Mushi were both stunned at hearing this.
Fuji thought these two human elders were scared of the Dog Demon and was about to go and absorb them into her body too, but Zhang Ze held her back.
"Don't worry, sister. Just watch the show."
Chen Mushi leisurely put down his sword box, "It's nostalgic, how many years since someone dared to talk to us like that."
Zhengyi shook his head, "Indeed."
"Die!", Brother Gou was never subjected to such disdain before.
He raised his hand, intending to grab the two elders, abandoning any thought of dried meat.
The only thing on his mind was.
Instantly refining them!
However, before his demonic claws could touch the two elders, they were slashed to dust by an invisible sword qi.
At this time, the Dog Demon was merely a Golden Core. With two Pavilion Masters from Sword Pavilion present, he could still speak only because Chen Mushi found him interesting.
"I am the Black Dog King! Ruler of a barbaric demon kingdom spanning three thousand miles!"
"If you harm me, the Demon Venerable will not forgive you!"
Perhaps finding it too much trouble to unsheathe his sword, Chen Mushi stepped forward, raising a hand to slap Brother Gou's head.
"What Demon Venerable? Which Demon Venerable? This old man has slayed no less than a thousand evil demons; which one are you talking about?"
The five-meter-tall Brother Gou was slapped until he was dizzy.
"How dare you hit me! Even my father never hit me!"
"A mere human race! You must have sacrificed the luck of tens of thousands to rival me!"
"I want to see how long you can last!"
Perhaps finding it no longer interesting, Chen Mushi directly severed Brother Gou's remaining four limbs, then pointed a finger at his forehead.
Instantly suppressing him!
"I'll take this dumb dog. He seems to imply there's a revival of ancient barbaric demon tribes."
"I might learn some interesting history from his mouth."
Chen Mushi raised his hand, releasing a Carved Dragon Spirit Box to collect the suppressed and confined Dog Demon.
Zhang Ze had already crawled out of Fuji's body and was now standing obediently beside Zhengyi.
He was now very curious about one thing.
Isn't it said that during the ancient primordial era, gods and demons waged chaotic battles, and various great powers reached the heavens and the earth, far beyond the current cultivators?
Why is it that this black dog is only at the Golden Core Realm, not even as good as Senior Sister Qiao, yet he claims to rule over a 3,000-mile demon kingdom?
Also, when fighting a single Golden Core, is it necessary to sacrifice the luck of tens of thousands of humans?
The primordial texts I read in my past life weren't like this?
"Aren't the older the cultivators, the more powerful they are?"
Zhang Ze couldn't hold it in and asked aloud.
However, it wasn't Zhengyi who answered him, but Chen Qin.
"Senior brother, who told you that?"
"Indeed, during the barbaric era, there were many divine and demonic beings born along with the heavens and earth."
"But they almost all possessed innate divine power unrelated to cultivation or realm."
"A demon god as large as a mountain range could alter the world with a mere wave of its arm."
"They were incredibly earth-shaking when they fought."
"But the rest of the Ten Thousand Races were not like this, everyone's cultivation methods were very primitive."
"Although there were many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they didn't know the correct way to use them."
"Apart from those Innate Gods and Demons, cultivating to Nascent Soul back then allowed one to dominate the world."
"With the extinction of the Ten Thousand Races, only the Human, Demon, and Barbarian Races have survived since the primordial era, with countless people evolving cultivation techniques and raising their realms over the years."
"How could we not surpass our ancestors, then all that effort would be in vain?"
Zhang Ze scratched his head, thinking it made sense.
Seeing that her senior brother also had things he didn't understand, Chen Qin found it very amusing and playfully shook Zhang Ze's arm.
Just as Zhang Ze was about to tease Chen Qin a bit, he saw the two-meter-tall Pavilion Master Chen walking towards him.
And he reached out his hand to him.
Looking at that large hand, seven words suddenly flashed in Zhang Ze's mind.
Instantly refining them!
