"The emperor himself is the most sensitive, and this Leopard Room is a place the emperor often visits. The Zhaoo Family will not allow external forces to be placed here..."

"Moreover... to be honest, no one cares about this Leopard Room, as long as the emperor attends the morning court on time, no one will even care about the emperor..."

"Indeed, that’s true."

A voice echoed beside Jiang Ming.

A middle-aged man with a long sword on his back and dressed in a blue python robe stood beside Jiang Ming.

He looked at the token hanging from Jiang Ming’s waist.

"I am Zhaoo Yun, may I ask who you are..."

"Jiang Ming."

Zhaoo Yun glanced at Wuu Quan and said, "Since you have the Imperial Uncle’s Identity Token, you should be a reliable person."

"But in this Imperial Palace, you cannot wander around freely."

Zhaoo Yun did not ask further questions, knowing his boundaries.

However, Jiang Ming pointed to the entrance of the Leopard Room.

Although it is called a Leopard Room, it is quite large, being an entire mountain range.

The Imperial Palace is naturally vast, and this mountain range is not too much; there is even the Celestial Sword Peak extending as the back mountain of the Imperial Palace.

"This Leopard Room?"

"His Majesty may not come here again; it might need to be demolished."

"Oh? Why not leave this Leopard Room to me?"

Zhaoo Yun furrowed his brows slightly but did not ask the reason, simply thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Indeed, it is necessary to give His Majesty some authority, and this Leopard Room cannot be demolished."

"As for what to do with it, I’ll leave it to you."

"I still have some matters, so I will take my leave first..."

Zhaoo Yun soared into the sky and left.

"Why has the scrutiny in the palace increased recently..."

Zhaoo Yun landed in a sedan chair, speaking aloud.

A whisper came from the shadows beside him.

Zhaoo Yun’s expression changed.

"It turned out to be him."

"What does the Phoenix Ancestor mean by sending this person into the Imperial Palace, intending to use their hands to dismantle my Zhaoo Family?!"

"No..."

Zhaoo Yun’s expression calmed slightly.

"That person is not simple..."

...............

Jiang Ming gazed at the Leopard Room before him and stepped inside.

The Leopard Room was a mountain range.

In the midst of the mountains, numerous "Spirit Beasts" roamed.

Originally, the Demon and Monster World did not have something like Spirit Beasts.

Most wildlife had transformed into demons, mountain spirits, or even ghosts, joining a new ecological chain.

However, here, the Zhaoo Family used special methods to seal their spiritual wisdom.

Ironically, they resembled spirit beasts.

Jiang Ming walked between the mountains, moving gracefully among the branches and cliffs.

Mountain beasts, swimming fish, and flying birds all curiously observed Jiang Ming.

The spiritual energy here was abundant, comparable to the spirit vein lands of some Golden Core Sects.

And the resources for demon beasts were plentiful.

"Wuu Quan, withdraw for now."

"Yes, Young Master."

Jiang Ming walked alone in the mountains, soon arriving at the foot of a high peak.

Below the peak was a wooden house.

"Who are you to the Little Emperor?" A hoarse voice came from within the wooden house, as the creature inside sensed Jiang Ming’s movements.

"Divine Treasure?!"

As Jiang Ming approached, a low growl came from the wooden house.

A white shadow flashed like lightning towards Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming reached out with one hand, catching a claw.

Looking again, there was an old ape standing in front of Jiang Ming, no more than half a zhang tall.

The old ape’s fur was gray-white, with two long eyebrows hanging down, but its eyes glimmered with golden light.

"That Little Emperor has taken so much from me, I have nothing left to give you!"

The old ape bristled.

Jiang Ming’s face had a gentle smile.

The old ape, seeing that smile, unknowingly felt his guard lessening.

"You must be the so-called Mountain God..."

"Yes, yes..."

"Your cultivation is not bad, just right." The old ape was stunned.

He had not expected the other party to first notice his cultivation instead of his secrets...

The next moment, a drop of translucent blood appeared before Jiang Ming.

The old ape’s expression changed dramatically as he stared at the blood, completely absorbed.

The old ape’s aura involuntarily spread, attracting several high-cultivation spirit beasts in the mountains, who were also captivated by it.

For a time, no bird or beast called within the Leopard Room; only the faint sound of mountain breezes and flowing water was audible...

..............

[Teach the Demon Cultivation Path, and the number of Demon Cultivators entering the Demon Dao: 11]

......

[Detected that the Leopard Room’s force is a Demon Cultivator force]

..............

[You renamed the Leopard Room to Demon Pavilion.]

[Congratulations, you gained Source Points *0.08]

..............

[Create a force with 500 Demon Cultivators, reward Source Points *0.05]

Time passed quickly.

In the fast-paced Divine Capital, as people saw the snow falling, they realized that half a year had passed again.

"How is it?"

At the highest peak of the Leopard Room, in a small palace on Celestial Palace Peak, Jiang Ming lay casually.

"Young Master Jiang, Divine Buddhas... are truly hard to find."

"My Great Lii was founded three thousand years ago, and Divine Buddhas have only appeared twice, counting the one you encountered, just three times..."

"Moreover, the Phoenix Ancestor once targeted the Divine Buddhas but to no avail..."

Wuu Quan said helplessly.

Jiang Ming nodded.

Slaying a Divine Buddha earned him 0.8 Source Points.

He spent half a year establishing the Demon Pavilion, gaining less than 0.3 Source Points.

This was due to the demon cultivators converting their original cultivation into demon cultivation resources.

Half a year passed, and the outside world became less intrusive into the palace.

Jiang Ming remained extremely low-key, even spending several months visiting the Southern Border again, while his presence in the Divine Capital dwindled.

At least now, no one remembered the Leopard Room.

"Still, a Concealing Breath Array is needed..."

Given the cultivation speed of demon cultivators, it is measured in centuries.

Demon cultivators in the Demon Pavilion progressed swiftly because they were converting their original cultivation into demon power.

Across Great Lii, only the Leopard Room could accommodate so many high-quality "spirit beasts."

In the wild, not to mention the time it would take to find these demon monster mountain spirits, gathering them one by one would consume a lot of time.

Additionally, they would have to avoid others’ notice.

Now, however, the Leopard Room resolved these issues at once.

Besides members of the Zhaoo Family, no one else would infiltrate this place.

Of course, apart from the Little Emperor who persistently wanted to enter the Leopard Room, which was a bit troublesome.

"However... it seems like there’s something with the Phoenix Ancestor..."

"Lord Bai from the Chaofeng Pavilion came looking for me..."

Wuu Quan hesitated slightly but still spoke.

"No matter." Jiang Ming waved his hand.

[The first demon cultivator with awakened bloodline appeared, reward Source Points *0.1]

Jiang Ming’s expression changed slightly.

He soared into the sky, transforming into a sword light and left.

His Divine Sense became a large net, completely covering the anomaly newly appeared below.

An old ape sat cross-legged in the valley.

Behind him, a phantom was slowly taking shape.

Bloodline Primordial Ancestor!

"Indeed..." Jiang Ming murmured.

The demons in this world, like those in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, had bloodlines...

Behind the old ape, a golden shining monkey phantom appeared.

The old ape’s fur shed, replaced by a gray-white sturdy outfit.

Only the fur on his cheeks and tail remained.

The semi-transforming state of a Demon Body Demon Cultivator.

In the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, demon cultivators, one and all, relied on their bloodlines for cultivation, drawing techniques and heritage from their bloodlines.

Demon cultivators could embark on the Demon Cultivation Path by absorbing moonlight in the absence of a sect.

In Great Lii, all demon cultivators relied on Jiang Ming’s demon cultivation heritage to enter the Demon Cultivation Path.

This old ape was exceptional, giving Jiang Ming a pleasant surprise.

This also meant...

Jiang Ming’s Source Points exceeded one...

And Spirit Points, abundant!

Jiang Ming looked at the simulator panel...
