After mimicking the aura, Yun Jin followed the image of the Devouring Demon Tribe she'd seen in the Trial Tower. She then used her Transformation Art to adjust all the details according to their appearance.
In the end, from her looks to her energy attributes, she was indistinguishable from a Devouring Demon Tribe member.
With that, Yun Jin was finally fully prepared.
Her current cultivation: late Tianxian.
She had reached the third stage of the Yin Yang Codex. At the same time, she had completely mastered the Primordial Five Elements.
After a trip to the Void Mirage World, she'd also gained control over three Space Laws.
These formed the core of her power.
With the Sect Master's Residence and the Dao Fruit effects, she had learned many other Laws, but compared to the three above, none were remotely as powerful.
This time she was heading to the Polar Night Demon World.
Yun Jin had two goals.
The first was to find the Wan Dao Saint and rescue him.
The second was to explore the Polar Night Demon World, see if there was a way to weaken its power.
On their side, the interactions among the three small worlds had strengthened, boosting all three sides' power.
That was progress. But it wasn't enough.
The Polar Night Demon World was still too strong. What Yun Jin had to do this time was weaken it. By gradually reducing its strength while they increased theirs, the gap would eventually narrow. Only after a thousand years, when the small worlds merged, would they be strong enough to fight!
Yun Jin's initial strategy was to infiltrate the Devouring Demon Tribe. Then, she'd find a way to spark internal conflict.
Ideally, she could make the Eight Great Demon Gods slaughter each other so she could reap the rewards. Her plan sounded solid, but whether it would succeed depended on how things unfolded.
After briefing Qin Ping and the others on a few matters, Yun Jin closed the secret chamber door.
She didn't tell Tian Po Sword or Master Ji Wusi about Wan Dao Saint still being alive. If they knew, they'd insist on following her to the Polar Night Demon World.
But they couldn't disguise themselves as perfectly as she could. One wrong step there and they'd fall straight into hell. It was better she went alone.
Inside the chamber, Yun Jin sat cross-legged. She adjusted her aura to its perfect state, then opened the Mission Hall.
The Polar Night World was unlocked, but its missions hadn't synced to the hall. She was the only one who could accept them right now.
The Polar Night Demon World's missions refreshed densely. Yun Jin didn't just pick an SSS mission like before.
She skimmed through the massive list, fast. Not because she had time to kill, but because these missions reflected the deepest desires of the demons. Looking at these missions was like holding the key to the demons' innermost secrets.
Each mission represented a secret.
With so many secrets, if used wisely, she could turn the Polar Night Demon World upside down.
[A-Rank mission: The First Step to Dominance. The Third Elder of Stone Forest Mountain has secretly practiced a secret technique and now surpasses the First Elder and Second Elder. Help the Third Elder become the sole leader of Stone Forest Mountain.]
[B-Rank mission: Treasure Hunt. Beneath the lake of Na Cuo Village lies a secret treasure. Dong Lie got the map but lacked the strength to claim the treasure. Help him secure it.]
[S-Rank mission: The Luminous Demon Tribe is secretly raising a batch of peerless beasts behind the Yun Hai Demon God's back. You can choose to help the Luminous Demon Tribe grow secretly, or leak information to the Yun Hai Demon God.]
[SSS-Rank mission: The Abyss Demon God and the Poison-Melting Demon God have long been at odds. Choose a side to completely suppress the other.]
After going through each mission, Yun Jin pictured the overall structure of the Polar Night Demon World.
It wasn't solid and unbreakable.
First, at the top of their food chain were the Eight Great Demon Gods, followed by their tribes.
Below them were the tribes under each Demon God's control.
From the missions, Yun Jin also noticed that the demons under the Eight Great Demon Gods weren't completely loyal. They all kept little secrets, acted behind the Demon Gods' backs.
As long as the Eight Great Demon Gods stayed strong, these tribes could only do minor underhanded stuff. But once the Demon Gods showed weakness, these demons would devour them like wild wolves.
That was the demon race. A species without rules or mercy. Inside the demon world, only strength mattered. As long as you had it, they'd follow you—briefly. Lose it, and they'd bite without hesitation.
On the other hand, the Eight Great Demon Gods weren't a united front either.
She had already seen several SSS missions, all about conflicts among the Demon Gods. Their powers were evenly matched, so despite some friction, they wouldn't fight lightly.
But if that balance was broken?
A glint flashed in Yun Jin's eyes.
If the Eight Great Demon Gods clashed, the Polar Night Demon World would descend into chaos. Better yet, let them fight for a thousand years and weaken each other severely!
Then, a thousand years later, when the small worlds merged, their world would have a chance.
After scanning all the missions, Yun Jin processed the massive amount of information in her mind.
Then, she picked an SSS-level mission.
[SSS Mission: The Devouring Demon God's Dilemma. The Eight Great Demon Gods have conflicts, but their strength keeps them from intervening. To resolve these conflicts, they agreed that every hundred years, each would train a disciple no older than three thousand. After a hundred years, the eight disciples compete in a special arena. The outcome reflects their Demon God's prestige. To maintain face, the Eight Great Demon Gods search for talented demons to train. Normally, the suspense lasts until the last moment. But this time, the Purple Lightning Demon God found a peerless genius. At just two thousand years old, the genius has mastered three Fourth-Level Primordial Forces. The Purple Lightning Demon God proudly announced that this disciple will surely claim first place.
The Devouring Demon God had already trained a disciple, but compared to the genius with three Fourth-Level Primordial Forces, his disciple was far weaker. Resentful, the Devouring Demon Tribe decided to search the entire domain for a genius disciple who could secure victory.
Mission Objective: Help the Devouring Demon God's disciple win first place in the competition.]
Yun Jin chuckled.
The Devouring Demon God's dilemma? A need for a peerless genius disciple?
This mission was practically made for her. She'd help the Devouring Demon God with this, no doubt!
After selecting the region, she hit the teleport button.
-
Polar Night Demon World.
Hei Xi Demon Tribe gathering area.
Wan Dao walked through the area, quietly collecting information, then returned indoors. He waved his hand, raising a spatial barrier.
Then he said in a deep voice, "I've decided. I'll become the disciple of the Abyss Demon God."
The other two: "???"
