Above all spirits

Chapter 357 The Situation in the Demon Realm

"of course."

Following Lu Wushuang's instructions, Gu Yun made an oath. Under the rules of this world, an oath is considered a rather heavy promise. However, although Gu Yun would not teach this skill to others without authorization, in order to be unrestrained, Gu Yun's oath focused on the soul.

For example, if one violates this rule, one's spirit and body will be destroyed, and one will never be reincarnated again.

Lu Wushuang was somewhat speechless at Gu Yunxia's heavy vow, because the beings in the lower realm have always believed that they can be reincarnated on the other shore. Although most cultivators have been to the other shore, the beautiful longing remains constant.

Finally, the two exchanged ideas and discussed their experiences further.

Gu Yun quickly learned the core techniques of hidden force. In fact, instantly transferring force was only a necessary process in learning hidden force.

As for Tai Chi, it's not that easy.

This is a mythical skill in the world of martial arts novels on Earth. Zhang Wuji was able to defeat the Xuanming Elders after only a short period of instruction from Zhang Sanfeng.

How could Gu Yun replicate it so easily? But having a rough idea in his mind was a good start.

Although there are claims on Earth that Tai Chi is inferior to 'Innate Skill'.

But in this world.

If one can master Tai Chi, it will absolutely crush the Innate Skill.

In this world, perhaps any saint-level mental cultivation manual could surpass the Innate Skill.

But Tai Chi, which represents the pinnacle of skill, is not one of them.

At least without the power of the rules, Gu Yun felt that Tai Chi was more than enough.

no way.

The power of the rules is too abnormal.

Unless one's half-baked attempt at Tai Chi also rises to the level of established rules.

this...

is it possible?

...

After this minor incident, Gu Yun took Lu Wushuang to Lucifer, and the three of them discussed the current situation in the Demon Realm. Gu Yun wanted to unify the Demon Realm, and there was no doubt that he could do it.

At worst, he will descend as a tyrant, yet he can still command the submission of all.

The question is how to achieve unification while minimizing casualties.

This is what Gu Yun wants to resolve right now, otherwise Gu Yun's Heavenly Demon Emperor Intent will still be affected to some extent before he advances into the Upper Realm.

In situations where voices are not unified, death and injury are inevitable, and such death and injury...

Gu Yun was particularly worried that the loss of the Demon King would directly cause the Heavenly Demon Emperor to drop a level.

However, Lucifer told Gu Yun that there was no need to worry about this too much.

His explanation also resolved Gu Yun's initial doubts.

Those are the Demon Kings who once appeared on the Demon Stage as candidates for the Demon Emperor's Will. Because they had some impression of the Demon Emperor's Will, they do not belong to the definition of 'base number'.

Instead, he, like Gu Yun, became a beneficiary of the 'base'.

No wonder the Star Alliance guys didn't wipe out all the Demon Kings in one fell swoop, or even completely ignore them. This was not only because the Demon King was a powerful pseudo-innate being with a portion of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will, and the physical strength of the Demon race was generally stronger than that of the human race, but also because it would be meaningless to eliminate these Demon Kings even if they went to great lengths to do so, as the birth of the Heavenly Demon was not based on this.

This relieved Gu Yun a lot.

Although these demon kings would inevitably have followers, killing them would not affect Gu Yun in any way.

Otherwise, Gu Yun would still have some concerns.

At least until we travel to the upper realms to expand our territory.

Afterwards, Lucifer and Lu Wushuang explained the current situation in the Demon Realm to Gu Yun. Although each generation of Heavenly Demons has seven contemporary Demon Kings who can be granted part of the power of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will, in fact, there are not many first-generation Demon Kings like Lucifer who have survived to this day.

The first Jealousy and Wrath, one perished in the initial war between humans and demons, and the other died of old age.

The second generation's rage was also extinguished in the Second War between Man and Demon.

Perhaps it is related to the inner demons of the rage lineage, making it easy to act impulsively, but it is undeniable that rage is also the strongest, 'Limitless', an ability that can raise one's own power level by one level.

The first Greed Demon King, along with the Gluttony Demon King and the second Greed Demon King, have now joined forces. The entire Greed Demon Clan is clearly speaking against Gu Yun. As for the first Gluttony Demon King, since he has been a good friend of the Greed Demon King for many years, he also stands on the side of Greed.

Upon hearing this news, the coldness in Gu Yun's eyes deepened even further.

The first and second generations of Sloth did not care about the situation in the Demon Realm; they only cared about their own little territory. If Gu Yun, as a Heavenly Demon, returned to the Demon Realm, they would most likely attach themselves to him, but that was not absolute.

The first generation of Lust killed a young master of the Ming family of the Star Alliance at that time, and is still on the Ming family's kill order. His whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps he has been captured by the Ming family. Even if he has not been captured, he has already died of old age. After all, hundreds of years have passed by now, and even a pseudo-innate person has almost reached the upper limit of human lifespan.

The second generation's lust and gluttony are a married couple. Their power is not great, perhaps because they have families and clans. They also rarely have conflicts with the outside world. At the same time, Lucifer asserted that the two must have surrendered to Gu Yun, because having a family creates a bond. Under the pressure of Gu Yun's Heavenly Demon identity, they would not risk standing against Gu Yun.

As for the jealousy of the second generation, it is said that they joined forces with the jealousy of the first generation. The demonic energy is a special product developed by these two. Gu Yun knows this. Everyone knows that they are alive, but no one knows where they are.

This is the current situation of the entire Demon Realm.

From this perspective, the situation isn't actually that bad.

As for the gray market, before Gu Yun made his statement, all the demons had gotten involved, including Lucifer. This was driven by profit, and without the support of the Heavenly Demons, even if they disagreed, the Star Alliance would force them to agree.

If you don't do it, plenty of others will.

After Gu Yun made his statement, apart from the three who opposed him, almost all the demons outwardly restrained themselves, but it was impossible to completely suppress them in the short term, a fact that Gu Yun was well aware of.

Because it can be summed up in just one sentence.

If you forbid certain demons from doing this, then what can they do?

The reputation of demons is so bad that they are considered inferior no matter what other profession they switch to.

Apart from...

Assassination.

This is one of the routes Gu Yun plans to take to break through in the Demon Realm. The killing in the burning, killing, and looting that Gu Yun stopped was indiscriminate killing, not organized and disciplined assassination.

There are assassination organizations in the demon realm, but they are basically all operating independently, making their own money and operating in a very chaotic and disorganized manner. They accept almost any kind of job.

Gu Yun plans to integrate these organizations.
