Chapter 457: What Great Ambition and Courage!
At the sight of such books, Lu Xuan could not help but sigh as he said, “What great ambition and courage!”
In Lu Xuan’s previous life, Ao Chen was worthy of being an unparalleled leader capable of establishing a country in Australia.
Lu Xuan did not underestimate Ao Chen because of its demonic origins. On the contrary, he only thought Ao Chen was very ambitious.
Ao Chen was the only demon that could truly scare Lu Xuan!
Regardless of their strength, other demons would only be considered goons. However, Ao Chen was not like other demons; it was like an unparalleled leader that would only exist in fantasy.
No matter how strong other demons were, they all could be wiped out. On the other hand, Ao Chen could reign supreme in one fell swoop despite the human beings having the advantage. Thus, demons could get enough space and situations to face the human race on Earth.
Ao Chen spent decades, maybe even hundreds of years, planning everything out. How could such a scheme not move people?
When Lu Xuan saw the resources prepared for the founding of their country, even he could not help but be moved. This was why Lu Xuan did everything he could to bring Ao Chen down.
Ao Chen and Lu Xuan both wanted to suppress everyone with one battle, but Ao Chen was a big obstacle standing in his way.
That battle was essentially two people deliberately trying to destroy each other!
The victory or defeat of these two people directly determined the fates of both the demon and human races.
Human beings had a profound heritage. Even if they failed, they could still hold on to a place. Furthermore, they could still make a comeback in the future.
If the demons were defeated, however, there was no doubt that it would’ve been the end of their race. Considering everything that had happened, human beings would never loosen the control they had over demons.
Unless more external forces interfered, the decadence of demons was the greatest issue at the moment.
Ao Chen did his best with this fact in mind, but he ultimately lost to Lu Xuan.
Their foundation was also completely in Lu Xuan’s hands. Any opposition was killed, as the unified demons had all fallen before they could even rise.
From below where Lu Xuan was, those demons and monsters crept below. They didn’t dare to make a noise.
Lu Xuan casually flipped through the books about cultivation. Ao Chen had sorted these books and manuscripts into categories. Although they had not been completely organized yet, they had all been roughly classified.
Ao Chen truly was ambitious. Lu Xuan believed that these books had more value than all of the cultivation resources combined.
Of course, Lu Xuan didn’t take the time to think hard about what he read.
Even with the knowledge that he accumulated as a Celestial Lord in his previous life, it was impossible to be truly omniscient and omnipotent. Additionally, many of those things seemed to be beneficial now.
However, Lu Xuan saw many things to be connected.
Even so, Lu Xuan never stopped searching for books like these to read. In his previous life, he had never stopped either even in the bleakest period of his life.
Lu Xuan believed that no one could suddenly become successful by using accumulated strength alone.
This was especially true regarding cultivation.
If ordinary people gave him a secret book, he would not be able to understand it or even understand some of the secret arts described. This was due to the normal accumulation of strength.
There was nobody believed to have gained such power so quickly. Lu Xuan had seen many wild geniuses who ruined their cultivation halfway.
This was because there was no system of training. Their talent might be excellent, and they were not inferior to those geniuses with ancient heritages.
However, this would only end in them constantly being beaten by geniuses who were systematically trained.
Lu Xuan’s achievement of becoming the Celestial Lord was considered a complete accident, which could be regarded as a miracle in today’s world. He had essentially finished the journeys of dozens or even hundreds of generations of other families on his own.
It was unknown how many of them had gone astray. Even though he had corrected many of them while he was a Celestial Lord, they had still gone astray in the end. He had been lucky to be able to become a Celestial.
Now that he was given another chance to do so, even if he continued to follow down that same path, he may not be able to become a Celestial Lord even if he went down that same path.
However, this life was different. He wanted to thoroughly correct the wrong path of his previous life. With his vision and knowledge as the Celestial Lord, he would naturally be able to take on the line of cultivation again. However, the general trend of his previous life had already been accomplished. Thus, there was no way to completely correct it.
This time, it was an unprecedented opportunity.
Lu Xuan had spent an entire day looking through the books.
During that time, the demons crawled around behind his back without making a sound.
Lu Xuan then noticed them and then said, “I’ve been reading this stuff for a bit too long. You guys don’t mind, right?”
The demons frantically replied, “Of course we don’t mind!”
They believed that Lu Xuan was merely testing their attitude while establishing his authority.
However, they did not know that Lu Xuan never intended to do any of that. He did not need to establish his authority that way.
Only a person who was not confident enough in themselves would need to establish their authority this way. This was because they would have still seen these demons as a threat.
Lu Xuan did not regard these demons as a threat because they were each under the master-slave contract. If Lu Xuan wanted them dead, he could kill them with just the thought alone.
He didn’t need such a method!
Lu Xuan looked at these demons and said, “Who is your leader?”
A middle-aged man with a handsome face stepped forward.
“Master, this slave is Zhu Wuji. Among these demons, he is one of the original 10 great demon generals in the Myriad Demon Valley!”
With just one glance, Lu Xuan could see that the man who stood out looked like a ferocious bird flapping its wings. Based on the flames burning all over his body, he believed that this man was a descendant of a Vermillion Bird. This man had regained some of his ancestor’s blood after being imbued with spirit qi.
Of course, Lu Xuan saw this bloodline to be very mixed. It was equivalent to some of the worst Jiao Dragons in the dragon race. However, Lu Xuan had seen and even slaughtered the real Vermilion Bird before.
Lu Xuan nodded and began to say, “Very well. Anyway, I have no intention of changing how things work around here. From now on, the Myriad Demon Valley is under my control. As long as you remain loyal and work for me, I’ll give you anything you got from Ao Chen. Otherwise… well, you probably know the consequences by now.”
Zhu Wuji frantically nodded his head. He already understood this master-slave contract once Lu Xuan branded it onto his primordial spirit.
This contract would be handed down between generations of his bloodline until it no longer existed.
Even so, he had no other choice; if he openly disagreed with it, then Lu Xuan might’ve killed him where he stood.
Zhu Wuji knelt halfway to the ground as he said, “My lord, I swear to act as your loyal servant and fight for your cause! From now on, your word is my command!”
Lu Xuan replied, “Very well. Now, I want to know how many demons are under the control of the Myriad Demon Valley. This way, I will also be able to figure out just how big this place is!”
