Chapter 273

The Eight Desolations World is a realm of immortal cultivation, where practitioners—with the exception of Buddhist and Daoist sects—generally do not believe in gods or Buddhas. Even the demon tribes are no exception. After all, when the immense power of cultivation resides within oneself, why bother pinning one's faith on any god? Nonetheless, the Ancient God Sect is an exception. As one of the six major demonic sects of the Great Zhou, it worships the so-called "Ancient Gods" and exerts the greatest influence over Fenghua Province. Although it neither participates in nor interferes with the struggles between the humans of Fenghua and the demons of the Yunming Mountains, it is a power harboring a Deity Transformation Venerable; thus, the Yunming demons maintain a highly vigilant attitude toward it. Certainly, the Yunming demons have their own backing—the Deity Transformation demons of the Tianming Mountains to the north—so they do not fear the Ancient God Sect. Yet, any major move by the Ancient God Sect within Fenghua Province is effectively an act of provocation under the very noses of the Yunming demons. Naturally, the demon tribes cannot sit idly by.
