A magic clock made of neither copper nor iron floated within Lu Changsheng’s Inner World, the external body of the clock was engraved with sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind, while inside depicted mountains, lands, and the myriad tribes of the Demon Realm.

The Chaos Clock emitted five-colored glimmers, turning the surrounding space into chaos.
Upon seeing it, Lu Changsheng immediately knew this was a top-notch Merit Treasure, made of a material not inferior to the Merit Golden Lotus or the Lifespan Grand Seal.
The system also displayed a line of small text.
[Chaos Clock: A Merit Treasure of the Demon Race, endlessly mysterious and creative. If refined to the ultimate level, it can imprison time, suppress space, repel treasures, and ignore Divine Skills. An integrated offense and defense, inherently invincible.]
Sure enough, judging from the introduction, the Chaos Clock really was a top-notch Merit Treasure.
This was a Merit Treasure used by the Demon Race, needing Demonic Qi to activate it, perfectly suited for Ji Xuan who came from the Demon Race.
Once the Chaos Clock was cultivated to its ultimate, its marvelous uses were boundless, powerful enough to suppress the Demon Realm.
The Demon Race’s Goddess and the Demon Race’s Divine Son, competing for the position of the Demon God.
If he supported Ji Xuan to become the Demon God, wouldn’t he become the master of the Demon God?
The Demon God ruled over the Demon Realm, serving as the leader for all tribes within it.
Master of the Demon God, such a title, was even more eye-catching than the master of a Holy Land.
Ji Xuan came to Lu Changsheng’s cave dwelling, where Lu Changsheng, as always, bestowed all sorts of treasures upon her.
As the Goddess of the Demon Race, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan spared no effort in nurturing Ji Xuan, who was not really lacking in treasures; however, she did not refuse them, as they were a gesture of goodwill from her master.
“Although your Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has many treasures, the one your master is about to bestow upon you today is something even your clan does not possess.”
Lu Changsheng’s palm opened, revealing the Chaos Clock within.
The appearance of this treasure made Ji Xuan’s eyes light up as if her soul was being drawn into it.
Ji Xuan had cultivated in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan for tens of thousands of years and had never seen such a high-level treasure.
The master truly lived up to his title, possessing a mighty treasure not even owned by the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
“Master, are you really going to give this level of treasure to your disciple?”
Ji Xuan was both shocked and delighted.
The Chaos Clock was not only coveted by Ji Xuan, a Daluo Golden Immortal, but even the Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Demon Realm would regard it as an ultimate treasure.
“This treasure requires the accumulation of merit for growth. When you return to the Demon Realm, do not forget your initial resolve, and continue to perform good deeds.”
Lu Changsheng believed that the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, with its marvelous uses, was not inferior to the Chaos Clock.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was a Merit Treasure of the human race, while the Chaos Clock was a Merit Treasure of the Demon Race. In the hands of the Demon Race, it could exhibit its greatest potential.
Lu Changsheng’s action had another purpose; he intended to help Ji Xuan become the Demon God so that in the future, he could walk unchallenged in the Demon Realm as her master.
“Disciple will definitely not forget the teachings of Master.”
Ji Xuan energetically began Refining the Chaos Clock.
Her Demonic Qi poured into the Chaos Clock, causing it to emit intense five-colored glimmers. The engraved images of sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, wind, mountains, lands, and the myriad tribes of the Demon Realm came to life.
Dang!
The sound of the Chaos Clock echoed through Yuntai Peak, and all cultivators who heard it felt as if they were listening to the voice of the Dao, entering a brief state of Path Comprehension.
Even Lu Changsheng felt enlightened, achieving a short state of Path Comprehension without the aid of Enlightenment Tea.
Lu Changsheng used this state to ponder over baffling aspects of cultivation techniques such as “One Sword Across Ages,” “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art,” and “Divine Void Steps.”
Lin Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, Tang Ling’er, Dugu Aotian, Chen Yi, Huo Wen, and others, hastily sat in meditation to comprehend the Dao.
Two Quasi-Immortal Emperors from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan exchanged glances, surprised that a single ring of the clock could induce a state of Path Comprehension in everyone nearby.
Such a state was a chance encounter not to be forced. The treasure that emitted this ring was indeed extraordinary.
They too seized the opportunity to meditate and cultivate without delay.
When the sound of the Chaos Clock faded, everyone felt a sense of loss.
Opportunities to comprehend the Dao were rare. Just entering such a state wasn’t easy—otherwise, the Enlightenment Tea of Tai Hua wouldn’t be so coveted by numerous holy places.
“What a great treasure.”
Ji Xuan Refining the Chaos Clock was very in tune with the treasure.
Currently, the Chaos Clock possessed the power of a lower Emperor Soldier, but as long as she continuously accumulated merit and nourished the Chaos Clock with it, its limits were immeasurable. It might even become her Dao-verification treasure someday.
Ji Xuan became the second among Lu Changsheng’s disciples to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, with all other disciples diligently cultivating as well.
These disciples were all exceptionally talented, knowing that any slackness would leave them trailing behind.
“I need to advance my realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, I can’t assist my elder sister or live up to Master’s guidance. I’m close to stepping into the Quasi-Emperor realm. I just need a little more insight. Why not go to Eternal Night and take on an assassination mission against a Great Demon Head? It will also be a chance for life-and-death experience.”
Feeling her cultivation was insufficient, Su Xiaoqi left Tai Hua’s Holy Land and went to the Assassin Sect of Eternal Night.
Su Xiaoqi, now a Heavenly Level Assassin at Eternal Night, could accept missions to assassinate Daluo Golden Immortals.
In the Ancient Constant Divine Territory, the master of a Demon Sect called Tianhuan Sect was watching a group of slaves fight to the death.
These slaves were Elders and Disciples captured alive from nearby Orthodox Sects that the Tianhuan Sect had attacked.
The Sect Leader of Tianhuan Sect was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and a Great Demon Head with a notorious reputation, skilled in the use of poison, with no one within a million miles being his match.
The greatest pleasure of the Tianhuan Sect Leader was to watch these Orthodox Sect members kill each other—masters and disciples, senior brothers and junior brothers—where only one person could survive.
He also enjoyed taking over the wives and daughters of these Orthodox Sects.
To please the Sect Leader, the Elders and Disciples of Tianhuan Sect also followed the Sect Leader’s twisted preferences.
