Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

At the same time, the demonic tide in the demon world completely gained the upper hand.

The once peaceful and harmonious demon world is now shrouded in a dark haze.

Thick black fog permeated the demon world. Wherever it went, flowers and plants withered and trees died. The once vibrant scene was gone.

All tribes in the demon world fell into chaos and panic. Many demons fled everywhere, but there was nowhere to hide, and screams of fear rose and fell in the darkness.

Under the erosion of the demon tide, some weaker monsters' bodies were gradually distorted by the power of darkness. They lost their sanity, became puppets of the demon tide, and turned around to attack their own kind.

Several elders of the demon clan gathered in an ancient palace, their faces full of worry and anxiety.

"The power of this demonic tide is too strong. We can no longer resist it." A white-haired elder said worriedly.

"Yes, the demon world is in chaos now, what should we do?" Another elder also looked helpless.

At this time, a young demon warrior stood up and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We should take the initiative and find a way to fight against the demon tide."

"That's easier said than done. We have tried various methods, but to no avail." An elder shook his head and sighed.

Just when everyone was in despair, a spiritual bird emitting soft light flew in. The spiritual bird landed in the center of the palace and turned into a beautiful woman.

"We can't give up. At this point, we can only revive the four demon emperors!"

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned and looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and confusion.

"Resurrect the Four Demon Emperors?" An elder frowned, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "These four demon emperors have been sleeping for a long time. Legend has it that in order to revive them, extremely harsh conditions are required, and the process is full of unknown risks. Do we really want to do this?"

The spirit bird transformed into a woman looked around at everyone with a firm gaze and said slowly: "Now that the demon tide is raging, the demon world is in danger, and we don't have many choices. The four demon emperors were once legends in the demon world. They possessed powerful power to destroy the world. If we can revive them, perhaps this power can contend with the demon tide and save our demon world."

The young demon warrior clenched his fists, a flame of hope burning in his eyes, "I think we can give it a try! The demon world is now at a critical juncture of life and death. We cannot give up even if there is only a glimmer of hope."

Several other elders also fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, a burly elder stood up and slammed the table heavily, "Okay! Now that things have come to this, we will fight this time. For the future of the demon world, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, we have to give it a try!"

Everyone's eyes gradually became firm and they nodded in agreement.

"But how can we revive the four demon emperors?" An elder raised the question in his mind.

The spirit bird woman frowned slightly and said, "I have heard in ancient books that in order to revive the four demon emperors, a blood sacrifice must be held!"

"Blood sacrifice?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the palace, and the faces of the elders showed shock and hesitation.

"This... blood sacrifice requires the sacrifice of a large number of lives. How can this be done?" A thin elder looked reluctant and shook his head repeatedly.

The spirit bird girl looked solemn and said slowly: "I know this sounds cruel, but now the demon world is facing a catastrophe, this may be the only way. Ancient books record that only by using a sufficiently strong and pure life force can the four sleeping demon emperors be awakened."

The young demon warrior frowned, "Is there no other way? Do we have to sacrifice our lives..."

The bird lady said in a cold and mocking tone, "I also wish there were other options, but time is running out and the rampant demonic tide won't give us more time to find other ways. Could it be that you also want to give up the pride of our race and beg for mercy from those lowly humans!"

These words were like a heavy hammer, causing the expressions of everyone present to become complicated in an instant.

The young demon warrior blushed and loudly retorted: "How could I have such an idea! I just couldn't bear to see so many of my fellow tribesmen sacrificed for this. We demons have always been proud, how could we bow down to humans!"

The bird lady nodded slightly, her tone softening a bit, "I understand how you feel, but this is a choice we have to make. If we don't wake up the four demon emperors as soon as possible, the demon world will be doomed. By then, what pride will we have left?"

The burly elder said in a deep voice: "Yes, for the survival of the entire demon world, some sacrifices are inevitable. We must make a decision."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace, and a little demon ran in in a panic, shouting, "Oh no! The demon puppets have already attacked the nearby tribes, and many of our people have been killed!"

This news made everyone's heart rise to their throat instantly, and the elders who were still hesitating no longer hesitated.

"There is no time to hesitate, start the blood sacrifice immediately!" an elder said decisively.

Then, orders were issued from the palace one after another.

The demons acted quickly and set up the last line of defense around the palace to resist the attack of the magic tide puppets and buy time for the blood sacrifice ceremony.

The bird-girl stood in the center of the magic circle, her expression solemn, her hands quickly forming ancient seals. Her voice rang out firmly amid the clamor, and every syllable seemed to carry a mysterious power, urging the magic circle to operate.

At the same time, a large number of demon masters attacked everywhere to hunt down demon civilians.

Wherever they went, there was blood and cruelty.

In a quiet village, the demon civilians who had been living a peaceful life are now in extreme fear.

The crying of children, the screams of female demons and the angry shouts of male demons intertwined together, breaking the tranquility of the village.

A gigantic bear monster, originally the guardian of the village, has now become the death warrant of these ordinary monsters.

He waved his huge bear paw, knocking down houses one after another, scaring the villagers into fleeing in all directions.

"Don't run! Come out!" His roar was filled with madness and brutality.

A group of fox demons shuttled through the village, using their agility to easily catch up with the fleeing civilians. The captured little demons looked at these former companions in horror, their eyes full of despair.

"Please, let us go, we are all of the same race!" A little fox demon cried and begged.

However, the demon masters in charge of the search showed no mercy on their faces. They dragged away the demon civilians one by one in a cold manner, as if these former fellows were now just tools to achieve their goals. The village was filled with despair, and the laughter and joy of the past had long been replaced by fear and sorrow.

At the palace, the blood sacrifice array shone with an increasingly strange light under the urging of the spirit bird woman, and powerful energy fluctuations spread out from the palace to the surrounding areas. The demons fought fiercely with the demon puppets at the defense line, and shouts and screams were heard everywhere.

~~~~~~~~
In the human world, after Fang Yue closed himself off to absorb the power of the Ju Yuan Dan, his aura became more and more terrifying. He seemed to be surrounded by a layer of mysterious halo, and every breath he took made the air around him vibrate.

The servants who originally respected him couldn't help but feel an invisible pressure when they approached him, as if they were facing a towering and insurmountable mountain.

His injury finally recovered completely.

At this time, the Queen of Wei, Zhu Linlang, came to visit.

After the guards of Fang Yue's mansion informed him, Fang Yue was a little surprised, but he still dressed up and went to the front hall to greet them. When he entered the front hall, he saw Zhu Linlang wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head. She looked solemn but majestic, followed by a group of attendants and guards.

"I am Fang Yue, your humble servant. I am honored to meet you, Your Majesty. I wonder what brings you here today?" Fang Yue bowed respectfully.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Zhu Linlang raised her hand slightly, motioning Fang Yue to excuse herself from the formality. She looked Fang Yue over, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Fang Yue, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your aura is so strong now. It seems that you have gained a lot from your retreat."

Fang Yue bowed slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have made some breakthroughs during this retreat, and it is also to better deal with the upcoming crisis."

Zhu Linlang frowned slightly, worry evident on her face, "I came here today precisely because of this crisis. In recent days, I have heard a lot of rumors about the demon tide in the demon world. It is said that the demon tide is powerful and has caused great damage to the demon world. If this demon tide spreads further, I am afraid that the human world will not be spared."

Fang Yue's heart moved. He didn't expect Zhu Linlang to be so concerned about the affairs of the demon world. "Your Majesty is right. The threat of the demon tide is far beyond imagination. Now the demon world is in dire straits. If we sit back and do nothing, the human world will surely suffer."

Zhu Linlang nodded gently and paced in the hall. "I am well aware of the seriousness of this matter. Fang Yue, you have always been a pillar of our Great Wei. Now facing this crisis, do you have any plan to deal with it?"

Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "Now we can only deal with it as it comes!"

Fang Yue knew the truth about the demonic tide, but this disaster that originated from the source of all living things could not be completely resolved simply by using tyrannical force.

He looked up at Zhu Linlang, his eyes full of worry and determination, "Your Majesty, the demon tide is not a simple disaster in the demon world. It is rooted in the greed, anger, ignorance and hatred of all living beings. It is a concrete manifestation of the dark side of human hearts. As long as these negative emotions of all living beings continue, the demon tide will be like weeds. Even if it is suppressed for a while, it will grow again in the spring breeze."

Zhu Linlang frowned, her expression solemn, "So, even if we help the demon world to temporarily repel the demon tide, it will only be a temporary solution, not a permanent one?"

Fang Yue nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is wise. But the most urgent thing now is to curb the spread of the demon tide and block it in the demon world. As for completely solving the demon tide, we can only find another way."

Zhu Linlang nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "Fang Yue, no matter how difficult it is, we must try our best. Oh, by the way, a few days ago, the Great Chu Dynasty sent a message saying that several nodes in its territory were destroyed and monsters appeared there."

Fang Yue was slightly startled, thinking secretly in his heart, the appearance of demons in the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty, and the destruction of multiple nodes, may be inextricably linked to the demon tide.

"Your Majesty, the appearance of demons in the Great Chu Dynasty is quite strange. In my opinion, this is most likely related to the Demon Tide. The Demon Tide is raging in the demon world, and the demons have a hard time surviving. Perhaps some of the demons are willing to risk entering the Great Chu in order to survive. And those nodes have been destroyed. Maybe the Demon Shadow Society is behind this, trying to disrupt the order of the human world and create conditions for the further spread of the Demon Tide."

Zhu Linlang nodded slightly and said solemnly: "This matter is indeed difficult. If the changes in the territory of Da Chu are not investigated, there may be chaos. Since you know something about the demonic tide and are meticulous, I can only ask you to investigate the truth of this matter."

Fang Yue said firmly: "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will not fail in my mission."

After bidding farewell to Zhu Linlang, Fang Yue quickly prepared to go to Da Chu.

He selected several confidants who were agile and wise, and set out on the journey to Da Chu together. Along the way, Fang Yue and others rode at full speed, crossing mountains and rivers, traveling day and night.

A few days later, they finally arrived at the border of Da Chu.

The border of Da Chu is heavily guarded. The soldiers are vigilant and carefully check passers-by.

After Fang Yue and others revealed their identities and presented their customs clearance documents, they successfully entered the territory of Da Chu.

After entering Da Chu, Fang Yue found that the atmosphere here was extremely tense.

There were few pedestrians on the streets, and most shops had their doors and windows closed. Occasionally, a few people could be seen hurrying around, their eyes filled with fear and worry.

Fang Yue asked the local people about the destruction of the nodes and the appearance of the monsters, but most of them avoided the topic and looked fearful.

After some twists and turns, Fang Yue finally found an old man who was willing to speak.

The old man took Fang Yue and the others to a secluded corner. After looking around, he whispered, "Dear guests, you'd better not ask about this matter. I heard that the monsters are very powerful, appearing and disappearing at will, and they also know magic. They destroyed several of our important nodes. The government has been investigating, but there is still no result. Moreover, there have been many terrible rumors in the city recently, saying that this is a sign of a great disaster."

Fang Yue frowned and asked, "Old man, do you know where those monsters came from? Have you seen their whereabouts?"

The old man shook his head. "I don't know either. I only know that they come and go without a trace. However, I once heard a few soldiers say that they saw some strange shadows near the abandoned mine in the north of the city. They seemed to be the demon tribe."

After thanking the old man, Fang Yue and the others immediately headed for the abandoned mine in the north of the city. Along the way, they were cautious and alert to the movements around them.

When we arrived outside the abandoned mine, an eerie atmosphere hit us in the face. A faint black mist filled the air around the mine, making people feel depressed.

Fang Yue signaled everyone to be careful, and then walked into the mine first.

The mine was dark and damp, filled with a foul smell.

They walked slowly along the tunnel of the mine, and from time to time they could hear the sound of water dripping and faint strange noises. (End of this chapter)
