Upon seeing Xuan Ming and the other two, the Demon God-Ape initially mistook them for having obtained the relics from the ancient battle between gods and demons...
Although there were still many doubts, such as why the three were so powerful, it seemed that only this could explain their origins!
After all, strictly speaking, the area where the Southern Continent was located was the inner perimeter of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, an unknown distance from the outer perimeter. If an outer god were to infiltrate, it would surely be detected by the gods and demons guarding the various demon territories along the way.
Just as the Demon God-Ape's mind was racing.
Xuan Ming had already obtained some basic information about the Demon God-Ape from the River God and Mountain and River King, and couldn't help but nod as he looked at it: "Do you have a name?"
As soon as Xuan Ming's divine voice fell, the Demon God-Ape suddenly came back to its senses.
"This little god does not have a name. In the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, only the main priest of the demon territory can bestow a divine name upon a newly born god or demon. However, the Southern Sky Demon Territory has not had a main priest in office for thousands of years, so this little god does not have a name."
The Demon God-Ape answered without concealment.
"Oh? What is a main priest? And what is a demon territory? Furthermore, why did you previously bring fierce beasts to invade the Southern Continent?" Xuan Ming transformed his divine power into a divine throne, sat upon it, and examined the Demon God-Ape from a high position.
Sensing the pressure from above, the Demon God-Ape lowered its head slightly.
"The Ten Thousand Demon Mountains are vast and rich in resources, with many demon gods. They are divided into eight regions, known as the Eight Great Demon Territories. Each demon territory is assigned a main priest, who is responsible for protecting the safety of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. At the same time, they will lead the gods and demons within their respective demon territories to expand their territories in the outer heavens or other Heavenly Void Realm civilizations, plundering more resources for the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains..."
"Previously, this little god wanted to collect some blood food to cope with the war in the outer heavens. Our demon gods are enormous, and once we fight, we consume a great deal of our own energy and blood. Before the battle, we replenish our energy and blood, so we dared to invade the Southern Continent."
The Demon God-Ape lowered its head, its divine body trembling slightly.
As expected, the reason it was captured today was because of the incident when it brought fierce beasts to harvest human blood food that day.
Eight Great Demon Territories!
Main Priest!
War in the Outer Heavens!
Harvesting Blood Food!
Expanding Territory!
Xuan Ming leaned back on the divine throne, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Sure enough, from this god, he learned many secrets about the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.
Before this, the Divine Profound Dynasty, and even the entire Southern Continent, knew very little about the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, as if a circle of mist surrounded the Southern Continent. Now, this mystery has finally been unraveled a little.
"The Southern Sky Demon Territory has not had a main priest for thousands of years, and thousands of years ago, the Southern Continent circulated legends of gods and demons, could it be?" Xuan Ming stroked his chin, thinking of some of the history of the Southern Continent.
"Thousands of years ago, did a battle between gods and demons break out in the Southern Sky Demon Territory?"
Xuan Ming continued to ask.
"Indeed, the Southern Sky Demon Territory does not come into contact with other civilizations in the Heavenly Void Realm, so it mainly targets the outer heavens. However, thousands of years ago, the main priest of the Southern Sky Demon Territory disappeared in the outer realm, causing infighting among the gods and demons under his command, which ultimately led to a great change in the cultivation environment of the Southern Sky Demon Territory. Compared to other demon territories, this place has become a wasteland."
"At that time, the Southern Continent where you adults were located was also affected."
The Demon God-Ape answered truthfully.
It sensed the dangerous aura on Xuan Ming's body. Obviously, resistance was not the way out. Obedience might offer a glimmer of hope for survival.
Therefore, it didn't intend to hide anything.
"Hmm." Xuan Ming nodded. This time, Xuan Ming's many doubts were resolved, and the historical evolution of the Southern Continent was also explained.
"This little god is willing to join your command, and is willing to serve you as the main priest of the Southern Sky Demon Territory. I hope you can spare this little god's life!" Just as Xuan Ming was pondering slightly, wanting to ask other questions, the Demon God-Ape suddenly knelt on the ground, deeply kowtowing towards Xuan Ming.
It could clearly feel that the two gods who had captured it earlier were quite respectful to Xuan Ming, and it was obvious that Xuan Ming was the leader here.
"You may rise. Tell me about the matter of the main priest, how does it come about?"
Xuan Ming's mind moved slightly, and he put aside the other questions in his mind for the time being, and asked.
What this god said, that he could be made the main priest, made Xuan Ming feel puzzled.
From the Demon God-Ape's words, it could be understood that the position of main priest was probably extremely high in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. In the entire Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, there were only eight, and he guessed that those who could become main priests were probably demon gods and demon devils, but now it seemed that this was not the case.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, the main priest is the lord of the demon territory of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. According to the rules of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, as long as the main priest is strong enough to withstand the pressure from other demon territories, can lead the gods and demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to expand their territories, and can maintain the common interests of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, whether or not they are beast clans, they can serve as the main priest."
"Essentially, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains is a gathering force of a league nature, but for a long period of time, only gods and demons of the beast clan have served as the main priest. The Southern Sky Demon Territory is also the same. If there had not been a battle between gods and demons that led to a great change in the cultivation environment, I am afraid that a beast clan main priest would have been born again here, rather than being vacant for thousands of years."
The Demon God-Ape replied.
In the eyes of the gods and demons of other demon territories, the Southern Sky Demon Territory has now become a wasteland, and it is difficult to have any benefits. In addition, they each face the pressure from the outside world, and the Southern Sky Demon Territory has been vacant, with no demon territory force involved in this place.
"So that's how it is!"
Xuan Ming's eyes widened slightly, and he nodded.
The rules of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains are very applicable to him and the Divine Profound Dynasty today.
“Lord, becoming a Chief Priest not only allows you to rule over a region of demon territory, but also to receive the assets of this demon territory accumulated over ten thousand years, such as the coordinates and dominion of outer worlds. However, most of these were lost during the war between gods and demons.”
“This small god also accidentally found a coordinate connecting to an outer world within my own territory. That outer world belonged to the Southern Sky Demon Territory a thousand years ago, but it contained a Divine Stone vein. Without the rule of the Southern Sky Demon Territory, a god-demon was born among the natives and became independent in the outer world. This small god has always wanted to conquer it.”
“This is only one possibility. Perhaps there are other coordinates connecting to outer worlds within the Southern Sky Demon Territory, but this small god has never discovered them!” The Demon God-Ape said respectfully.
This information was all he had gathered in the past millennium.
Originally, he planned to conquer that outer world and, after becoming stronger, search for other outer worlds, gradually climbing to the position of Chief Priest of the Southern Sky. But now, he has lost that qualification.
Seemingly afraid that Xuan Ming wouldn't understand how to become a Chief Priest.
The Demon God-Ape continued, “If the Lord wishes, there is a boundary marker in the Southern Sky Demon Territory that can be refined. However, it requires the cultivation of a perfect Earth God. After refining it, you can imprint your divine name on the boundary marker of the Southern Sky Demon Territory. At that time, the entire Myriad Demon Mountain Range will know that the Lord has become the Chief Priest of the Southern Sky.”
The demon territory boundary marker is similar to the God Ranking of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.
Every demon territory has one.
Once made public, it will inform the entire Myriad Demon Mountain Range.
At the same time, the Chief Priest can also selectively imprint the divine names of the gods and demons under their command on it. This boundary marker will rank the gods and demons according to their strength.
It is a divine object formed from the power of the earth in the Southern Sky Demon Territory.
Previously, the reason for the disappearance of the Chief Priest of the Southern Sky Demon Territory and the subsequent war among the gods and demons to seize the position of Chief Priest was because those gods and demons realized that the Southern Sky Demon Territory boundary marker was not in a refined state, and they believed that the Chief Priest of the Southern Sky had fallen in the outer world.

Afterward, Xuan Ming interrogated the Demon God-Ape for a while.
“The Chief Priest position of the Southern Sky Demon Territory…”
Xuan Ming rubbed his brow.
He had to admit that the Chief Priest position mentioned by the Demon God-Ape did indeed tempt Xuan Ming.
Once the boundary marker is refined and the Southern Sky Demon Territory is controlled, there will be an opportunity to take over everything from the Southern Sky Demon Territory of a thousand years ago, including those outer worlds.
However, it is still too early.
The special situation of the Southern Sky Demon Territory makes other demon territories unwilling to touch this place. And here, according to the Demon God-Ape, the power possessed by the Southern Continent has basically reached the highest level, unmatched by anyone.
Should he directly become the Chief Priest of the Southern Sky in the current situation and contact other demon territories and even outer worlds?
Or should he wait for a while, until he has more gods and demons under his command, or even gods and demons in the Celestial God realm, before revealing himself to the world and unifying the Myriad Demon Mountain Range?
Xuan Ming considered this for a moment and ultimately chose the latter.
In the world of cultivation, there is no absolute invincibility.
Exposing himself too early would not bring much benefit.
Of course, this does not mean that Xuan Ming will not contact everything from the former Southern Sky Demon Territory just because he does not become the Chief Priest of the Southern Sky.
It's just that, unlike the former, Xuan Ming and the Divine Xuan Dynasty will continue to lie low, secretly annexing everything in the Southern Sky Demon Territory. Only after everything is under control will it be time to become the Chief Priest.
After all, although that Demon God-Ape said that any race of Chief Priest of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range could take the position, if it really came to that time and aroused the displeasure of the other seven Chief Priests, it would inevitably cause many troubles, which would outweigh the benefits.
“Where is that outer world you spoke of now?” After Xuan Ming thought it over, his gaze once again fell upon the Demon God-Ape.
“Reporting to Lord, it is in the heartland of the mountain domain under this small god's control.” The Demon God-Ape said respectfully.
“Mm.”
“From now on, you will follow under the command of Lord River God.”
Xuan Ming nodded and instructed.
The Demon God-Ape is an extreme-level existence in the Earth God realm, not weak in strength. He is considered the first non-system summoned god-demon under Xuan Ming!
If used well, the role it plays for the dynasty will definitely be significant.
However, the other party is, after all, a member of the ferocious beast race.
He has only met this Demon God-Ape today.
Whether he has sincerely submitted remains to be discussed.
Letting him follow River God's side allows River God's incense divine power to erode him.
After a long time, this god will naturally become usable.
Not yet, now.
“Yes, Lord.” The Demon God-Ape respectfully knelt. When he raised his head again, only the figure of River God remained above the entire Weishan Mountain.
“Strange?”
Hundred miles outside Weishan Mountain, Bianlang County.
The young Meng Xingchen was concentrating on drinking the water of the Wei River.
Suddenly, an old and puzzled voice sounded in his mind.
“What's wrong, teacher?” The young Meng Xingchen stopped drinking water.
“The spiritual energy in the river water of this Wei River is getting richer and richer, and it has just become a bit richer than usual. It's really strange. It seems that the divine medicine in that mountain is probably growing to a certain age.”
The old voice sounded in the ring, and a virtual figure condensed in front of the young Meng Xingchen, gazing in the direction of Weishan Mountain.
He could feel that there was some movement in that mountain domain.
And because Xuan Ming's four gods and demons gathered, causing the spiritual energy of Weishan Mountain to flourish, the water of Tianhu Lake contained sufficient spiritual energy, flowing down, allowing this remnant soul of the Earth God to perceive the abnormality.
“After this disciple breaks through to the Connate realm, can I find an opportunity to go in and venture in?” Hearing this, the young Meng Xingchen asked.
“Perhaps!” The old voice pondered for a moment and finally said.
Divine medicine, even when he saw it in his previous life, he was quite moved.
