The Sixteenth Assembly of Demons' Interrogation

  The order of the six paths of reincarnation has been established. Although the Ten Halls of Yanluo have not yet arrived, many other yin spirits have begun to act in an orderly manner.

  The Heavenly Way was moved by Kunpeng's merits and bestowed countless virtues, about half of the merits of Hou Tu establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Kunpeng looked at the boundless virtues in the sky, feeling a surge of joy in his heart, thinking that it was worth exerting such great effort and using an extreme-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure. The virtues were divided into three parts: eight successes flew towards Kunpeng, one layer was given to Zu Wu Hou Tu, and the last layer was given to Yin Shen.

  The massive merits came crashing down, and Kunpeng hastily collected them, preparing to use them to refine a postnatal merit treasure that could suppress the aura of fortune. Such great merits were enough for him to refine a merit treasure comparable in quality to the "Heavenly Earth Xuan Huang Linglong Pagoda". With such great merits, Kunpeng's merits among the people of Honghuang could be compared to those of Hou Tu and Nüwa Niangniang, although he had not yet attained enlightenment. Nevertheless, with these merits, he was able to protect himself. No one dared to move against him, lest the Heavenly Way bring down heavenly punishment. Thus, Kunpeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer needing to worry about his own safety.

  After that, Tu received this great merit and suddenly his cultivation soared like a rocket, rising to the peak of the quasi-saint later period. However, because he no longer had a physical body, he was unable to make another breakthrough.

  The Niu and Ma tribes gained this level of merit, and their cultivation made some progress. Niutou and Mamian used the Hooked Soul Rope to obtain the merit of the sacrificial refining, greatly increasing the power of their hooked soul capture.

  Kunpeng looked at the Ox and Horse tribes, whose cultivation was relatively low, thought for a moment, and passed on to them a technique that was fairly ordinary for him. However, for the Ox and Horse tribes, who were weak and small in the vast expanse of the Primordial Chaos, this was equivalent to an ultimate technique. If they practiced diligently, it was possible for them to become Great Luo Golden Immortals. The Ox and Horse tribes were naturally grateful and worked hard in the Wheel of Rebirth Hell, cultivating and laboring diligently. Kunpeng had not expected that his casual action would create a powerful Underworld.

  Minghe ran out to take a look when the Blood Sea changed again, and when he saw that vast expanse of merit once more, he couldn't help but feel envious: after working so hard to create the Asura tribe, he had only obtained that little bit of merit, while Kunpeng had simply waved his hand and received so much merit. He couldn't help but cry out in his heart that the heavens were unfair!

  Afterwards, Menghe discovered that many souls gathered on the Youming Blood Sea were freed and entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Although some evil spirits entered, there were fewer of them, and his blood sea lineage became somewhat desolate. At this time, he couldn't help but feel great anger, although he didn't show it then. However, afterwards, he often went to the Six Paths of Reincarnation to stir up trouble.

  Kunpeng glanced at Minghe, who was standing on the Blood Sea of Youming, and naturally knew what he was thinking. However, he didn't point it out, as the Six Paths Reincarnation was part of the Hongyuan Reincarnation, and someone would definitely be jealous in the future. Now was the time to cultivate Houtu's abilities well, lest they suffer greatly without knowing the reason. Moreover, Houtu's current cultivation level was higher than Minghe's, and with two top-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures protecting him, he wasn't afraid of interference from powerful beings like Minghe in the operation of the Six Paths Reincarnation.

  Having obtained the merit of establishing the underworld, Kunpeng decided to return to the human tribe's residence and think carefully about using these merits to refine a postnatal merit treasure.

  With this idea, Kunpeng bid farewell to Hou Tu and returned to the residence of the human tribe. The Heavenly Way had twice bestowed such great merits, which shocked the entire Honghuang Great Land. Merits are a good thing, who doesn't want to earn more?

  Dong Huang Taiyi had been paying attention to Kunpeng's movements all along when he was refining his equipment. This time, Hou Tu transformed into a reincarnation, causing the fortune of the Wu tribe to surge greatly. However, the demon master Kunpeng not only failed to stop it but also directly attacked Minghe, helping Hou Tu transform into a reincarnation. This made Dong Huang Taiyi, who had always been dissatisfied with Kunpeng, extremely angry.

  As soon as Kunpeng returned to the human settlement, Emperor Jun of the demons sent someone to invite him to the heavenly court for questioning. Originally, Kunpeng didn't take Emperor Jun's envoy seriously and directly sent him back to the heavenly court.

  The Emperor Jun, upon learning of this matter, also had no way to deal with Kunpeng, so he invited the Goddess Nüwa to come forward and invite Kunpeng to ascend to the Heavenly Court for a conversation. With the Goddess Nüwa coming forward, Kunpeng had no choice but to ascend to the Heavenly Court once again.

  Arriving at the Heavenly Court, what surprised Kunpeng was that many great sages of the demon tribe were all present, as if something big was about to happen. This made Kunpeng somewhat puzzled.

  Before Kunpeng could react, Donghuang Taiyi launched a verbal attack on him. Donghuang Taiyi said: "Kunpeng, as the master of all demons, you don't think about working hard for the demon tribe, but instead collude with the witch tribe. What's going on? If you don't explain clearly today, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi made this statement, and Kunpeng finally understood why the Heavenly Court made such a big scene.

  Kunpeng snorted coldly and said: "Dong Huang Taiyi, you have a big tone, I don't need your care, and you shouldn't take yourself too seriously."

  Dong Huang Taiyi heard Kunpeng say such arrogant words, and he couldn't help but become enraged, saying: "Kunpeng said so, you are admitting that you colluded with the Wu tribe, then I didn't wrong you?"

  Kunpeng sneered, "Taiyi, don't you think you're like a clown? Alright, I helped Zu Wu Hou Tu transform into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but what does this have to do with you? What qualifications do you have to control me?"

  The Eastern Emperor's face darkened with rage: "As the ruler of the demon clan, for a traitor like you..."

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi had not finished speaking, when the Demon Emperor Jun stopped him and said: "Kunpeng, Taiyi just spoke a bit too much, I hope you can forgive him. However, regarding your assistance to the ancestor Hu Tu's reincarnation, I hope you can give everyone an explanation."

  The demons in the heavenly court heard Emperor Jun's words and echoed one after another. Nüwa and Fuxi watched the performance of the demons with cold eyes, but did not speak.

  Kun Peng said, "Your wisdom is really pitifully low. So many people only saw the Wuzu's aura rising greatly, but didn't see the key hidden within. I truly feel sorry for you."

  Dong Huang Taizhen angrily said: "Kun Peng, if you have something to say, just say it truthfully, no need to beat around the bush."

  Kun Peng sneered, "Forget it. With your intelligence, you probably won't understand the key to this even if you spent your whole life thinking about it. I'll kindly explain it to you so that you don't keep using your identity as the Demon Emperor to intimidate others, afraid that people will forget that you're the emperor of the demon tribe."

  Dong Huang Taiyi was so enraged by Kunpeng that his whole body trembled, his eyes fixed tightly on Kunpeng. If looks could kill, Kunpeng would have been killed by Dong Huang Taiyi countless times. Fortunately, the Demon Emperor Jun held Dong Huang Taiyi firmly in place, preventing him from making any excessive moves.

  Kunpeng continued, "The most powerful thing about the Wu tribe is the 'Twelve Heavenly God-Killing Great Formation'. After the ancestor of the Wu tribe, Hou Tu, transformed into the Six Paths Reincarnation, it was very difficult for the Wu tribe to replenish this formation. Although the Wu tribe's fortune has greatly increased now, from now on, the Wu tribe's 'Twelve Heavenly God-Killing Great Formation' will be even harder to exert its power." Taiyi, what do you think of my explanation?"

  Dong Huang Taiyi didn't say anything else, because he understood that Kunpeng's reason was irrefutable. Everyone present knew that if the Wu tribe didn't have this 'Twelve Heavenly God Killing Array', then the threat to the demon tribe would be reduced by half.

  Kunpeng didn't intend to let Dong Huang Taiyi off the hook, and continued: "I sacrificed my only pre-heavenly spiritual treasure 'Wheel of Reincarnation' for the future of the demon clan, but I didn't expect to be questioned by Dong Huang instead. With such a lack of distinction between right and wrong, where can this demonic emperor lead the demon clan? It's truly unimaginable."

  Nüwa said, "Alright, Kunpeng. Everyone knows you made a great sacrifice for the demon tribe, and no one will forget that. The witch tribe has lost their ancestor Hou Tu, which is good news for our demon tribe, but don't underestimate the witch tribe just because of this."

  At this time, Kunpeng was somewhat dissatisfied with Nüwa. Earlier when Donghuang Taiyi questioned him, Nüwa did not stop him from speaking, but now she seemed to be clearly biased towards Donghuang Taiyi. So he said: "Nüwa, I have made such a great sacrifice for the demon clan, what reward do you have for me?"

  Nüwa frowned slightly, apparently somewhat dissatisfied with Kunpeng. She said, "I wonder what reward the demon master wants?"

  Kun Peng said: "I don't want anything else, I just hope you can give me a few congenital spiritual treasures to make up for my losses."

  All the demons present knew from the Purple Mansion that the Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure could be used to cut off the Three Corpses, and they didn't even have enough for themselves, so how could they give it away to others? So everyone ignored Peng's words.

  Dong Huang Taizi then jumped out and said: "Kun Peng, your words are not right. Since you are a demon master, it is natural to make some sacrifices for the demon clan. How can you ask for rewards?"

  Kunpeng looked at the people present and saw that no one came out to say a fair word. So, he let out a cold snort and said: "I am indeed known as a demon master, but among those present, who truly regards me as a demon master? I have worked hard for the demon tribe, the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array' was created by my hands, and the Ancestral Witch Hou Tu also transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation because of me. I wonder what contributions you all have made to the demon tribe? You can't all be idle and only ask me to pay the price?"

  After hearing Kunpeng's words, everyone shifted their gaze to the Nüwa Empress and the two Demon Emperors sitting at the top, hoping they would respond to Kunpeng. Unfortunately, they were disappointed as the Nüwa Empress and the two Demon Emperors ignored Kunpeng's words.

  Kunpeng looked around at the people present and saw that no one spoke up, and he had completely given up on the demon tribe.

  Nüwa saw the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy and said to Kunpeng: "The demon master's request, let's talk about it later?"

  Kunpeng looked at Nüwa and said, "Since the heavenly court is so unfair in its rewards and punishments, how can I be convinced? Never mind, from now on, the affairs of the demon clan will have nothing to do with me. Kunpeng bid farewell and left the heavenly court."
