Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

This particular point actually came in handy for Yang Fu at first.

Feng Zhong tried to divine Yang Fu's movements through celestial calculations, but was affected by the [Concealing Heaven's Secrets] laid out by Yang Genshuo in advance. He deduced that Yang Fu would not return to Sunshine City and then went out to purchase materials with ease, only for Yang Fu to return and dismantle their transmission array.

The demons working on the task all perished.

"If it weren't for Feng Xun burning the True Fire of Dao Foundation and killing those demons back then, perhaps we could have understood their purpose earlier..."

45 years later, Yang Genshuo watched as Yang Feng stepped into the Night Demon Palace seeking the truth.

"The cycles of heaven turn; the matters Feng Xun concealed... his son will ultimately uncover the truth."

"Perhaps this is the will of heaven."

This scene made Yang Genshuo somewhat wistful.

In the end, Feng Xun was not a bad person; during his three years in Sunshine City, he even had a certain mutual respect with Yang Fu.

Night Demon Palace.

A grand and towering great hall!

Though it doesn't have the golden splendor of the Dragon God Immortal Palace, it possesses a unique dark beauty characteristic of Demon World architecture.

Surrounding it are layers of black clouds, which very much carry the aura of the Demon Clan.

Two bare skulls hang by the entrance.

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

The two heads repeated these words, making the scene somewhat eerie.

Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei didn't know the origin of these heads but felt... a pure Demonic Qi emanating from them, of extremely high quality, and it also contained a strong Dao Essence.

Yang Feng licked his lips.

The talent [Swallowing Clouds and Spitting Smoke Technique] from the Cloud Demon allowed him to perceive various items containing Dao Essence.

If these two heads could be refined... they would be many times stronger than that demon pill!

Yang Qiangwei, on the other hand, was somewhat puzzled: "Why do I feel that this head... has life but no consciousness? What kind of demon is it?"

Their knowledge of the Demon World was limited to common sense known by most of the Demon Clan and was not very extensive.

"This object is the molt of a Headless Knight. The Headless Knights must behead themselves during their coming-of-age ritual to achieve their true forms and inheritances. Still, their heads will grow back. Each time they advance, they behead themselves once again. These two are the heads of two Golden Core Headless Knights, which we took."

"Though they lack much wisdom, they possess some spiritual intelligence and can fulfill some simple commands, such as greetings, setting reminders, recording images, and we even taught them to sing ballads."

"Would you like to hear one?"

"No, no, thanks!"

The two quickly waved their hands in refusal. This was just too creepy!

The two heads singing a ballad.

Just the thought made their scalps tingle.

Yang Genshuo was even more astonished.

"What is this, 'Little Love among Students'?"

"My word, what kind of stuff are you dabbling with every day in this Night Demon Palace?"

"Are you really doing scientific research?"

"If you keep this up, you'll be writing code and creating artificial intelligence next, right?"

"Your methods in the Night Demon Palace are just too wild!"

"It wouldn't really be the Wild Demon Palace, would it?"

Seeing that the two were not interested in the Headless Knights' heads, Tiago was slightly disappointed. He had hoped to show off his new research.

At this moment, a group of demons walked out of the great hall.

"The teachers of the Night Demon Palace indeed have sharp eyes. They saw the problem with my cultivation technique at one glance, helped me correct it, and my demonic heart became clear. Once I return, I will go into seclusion and sprint for the Golden Core Stage!"

"I learned a new Demon Planting Technique here. It's said to be adapted from the Human Clan's Spiritual Plant Technique and can accelerate the growth of demon beasts. I'm going to plant these two sections of the Blood Clan's tentacles and hope to grow a few members of the Blood Clan. Later, they can till the land for me..."

"We'll go to the transmission gate another day, do some trading with the Human Clan, get some good stuff, and then come back here to learn!"

Three demons in the Foundation Establishment Stage left together.

But their words shocked Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei.

"Ah?"

"The Night Demon Palace... has so many services?"

Proudly, Tiago responded.

"That's right! Our Night Demon Palace possesses the pure spirit of the Night Demons! We are committed to refined research on all the magic of the world and aspire to become the number one research organization among all clams, encompassing all clan Cultivation Techniques!"

"Ha ha~ Impressive, isn't it?"

Yang Feng: "?"

Yang Qiangwei: "??"

Yang Genshuo: "???"

"Hold on! Have I been cultivating too hastily lately and been invaded by a demonic thought?"

Yang Genshuo calmed his breathing for a moment, but the situation in his divine sense remained the same!

"No children! Night Demon Palace, is this really what you should be doing?"

"Don't tell me you're really claiming to be an organization of justice and peace, that the Feng Family are the great benefactors who fund your scientific research, while making the Yang Family out to be the big villains?"

Yang Genshuo felt his mentality explode.

This was completely different from what he had deduced before.

He guessed about city gate turrets, while Tiago introduced him to hip bone spindles.

Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei followed Tiago around.

The interior of the Night Demon Palace was immensely vast.

In the center was a spacious Gothic-style hall filled with all sorts of strange and bizarre contraptions, just as eerie and yet very scientific as the heads of the two Headless Knights at the entrance...

There was the Evil Eye platform that allowed one to see the situation of distant relatives.

A platform for modifying one's body to have external tentacle armor.

And even a transmission gate for trading with the Human Clan...

"Eh! This is just like the transmission gate of our Yang Family! That's it! That's the one!"

Yang Feng hurried over as well.

But after looking at it, he shook his head.

"That's not our place... It leads somewhere else."

Some members of the Demon Clan were trading with the Human Clan, each taking what they needed; among them, demons could even lend their power to the humans on the other side of the gate.

From afar, one could faintly hear voices from the other side.

"Hahaha~ Today, with the power of the Demon Clan, I have avenged the extermination of my Tang family, my wish is fulfilled, and I die without regrets!"

"But I don't want to fall into the Demon Path..."

"Dad, mom, big brother, second brother, I'm coming to join you!"

Then came the sound of a long sword slicing through the neckline and blood spurting from the other side...

The Demon Clan member conducting the trade was momentarily stunned.

"What the hell?"

"They committed suicide without completing the deal?"

"Another wasted deal, truly unlucky!"

"Some of the Human Clan... look like humans, but are actually beasts."

The big-headed demon grumbled and walked away.

Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei stood there dumbfounded.

"What?"

The mysterious and eerie Demon Clan contracts suddenly... didn't seem so mysterious anymore.

Yang Genshuo was also taken aback.

This scene was like...someone sitting inside an ATM, counting money by hand before putting it in.

The entire hall, all sorts of demons and facilities, looked useful.

Yang Genshuo couldn't help but comment.

"A low-tier research institute?"

Yang Feng couldn't help but ask, "Is this what you Night Demon Palace does?"

"Yeah, don't you think it's very practical? The standard of living for our Demon Clan has been raised over the years because of us, even the Demon Emperor praises us as the light of the Demon Clan."

Yang Qiangwei couldn't help but doubt and asked, "Is it possible... that there's another Night Demon Palace? Are you just sharing the same name?"

She simply couldn't believe that the Night Demon Palace in front of her and the one the Yang Family had imagined for so many years were the same organization.

It was too preposterous.

"I don't think so...never heard of it? But indeed, we have quite a few disciples at our Night Demon Palace."

"Oh? What are your recruitment criteria?"

Yang Feng asked seriously.

"Well... anyone destined can join."

"How do you determine if someone is destined or not?" Yang Feng kept inquiring.

"Those who make it to the Night Demon Palace, they are the destined ones!"

Tiago said as if it were obvious.

Both of them: "..."

"So... the Night Demon Palace has no standards for recruitment, right?"

Yang Qiangwei said in a faint voice.

"Peripheral members are random, but to enter our core... One must possess one of two qualities!"

"Oh?"

"The first is demons who share our philosophy and have a spirit of Refined Research and a unique talent!"

"And the second?"

"The second is like you guys..."

"Us?"

The two were startled, unaware of anything special about themselves.

"Could it be you fancy my heroic and domineering aura?" Yang Feng couldn't help asking.

"Yang Feng, why don't you talk about your battle talent instead of this nonsense?" Yang Qiangwei said faintly.

Yang Feng was decent-looking, but not outstandingly handsome; he was definitely several levels below his brother Yang Qiangyou.

"The second is...those with value for Refined Research, I am very interested in your bloodline."

Tiago grinned, revealing two sharp fangs.
