During his time living at the Myriad Ancient Sect, Demon King Zilin had truly changed. What changed him wasn’t just the delicious food, but also various special training methods.

As a member of the beast race, he naturally didn’t need to cultivate martial arts techniques. However, the existence of the Molding Room allowed him to temper his physical body, and the first floor of the Tempering Tower was equally effective.

What Demon King Zilin did every day was simple: open the main gate early in the morning, then eat breakfast, go to the Molding Room to train all morning, eat lunch and visit the Tempering Tower, eat dinner and go to the Spirit Gathering Array to absorb spiritual energy, then return to his room to sleep.

Although this routine three-point lifestyle was monotonous, it allowed him to gradually feel his physical strength changing bit by bit.

Even when he recovered to his pre-sealed strength, his power would definitely see tremendous improvement.

Free food and lodging, plus the ability to grow stronger.

How could Demon King Zilin’s mindset not change?

Moreover…

During this period of contact, the things Jun Changxiao did greatly amazed this member of the beast race.

Monopolizing a mineral vein in the valley, challenging two third-rate evil sects atop Mount Hua, and completely clearing the Ten Directions Deadly Tower that had existed for ten thousand years.

All these events made Demon King Zilin realize that this young man would definitely not settle for mediocrity, and would certainly become someone capable of daring great deeds!

Since he had previously mentioned a human-demon combination, he could completely consider joining forces with him, using the Myriad Ancient Sect’s resources to enhance the overall strength of the beast race.

Therefore, Demon King Zilin compromised and became a Myriad Ancient Sect disciple. In reality, he was biding his time. Anyone who said “the beast race will never be slaves, unless food and lodging are provided” would definitely get into a fight with him!

As for Old Bull and the other spirit beasts, after eating the Beast Pills, they all mindlessly supported their king!

In just a few days…

The hundreds of thousands of fierce beasts from Death Valley all moved to Tielgu Mountain.

To show his sincerity, Jun Changxiao improved the isolation array, expanding its range so they could all enjoy the land of spiritual energy revival.

With pills that eliminated the need to eat for ten days, and heavenly and earthly attributes many times stronger than the outside world, at that moment, every fierce beast that entered considered Tielgu Mountain their home!

Of course…

Just eating Beast Pills wasn’t very interesting.

Jun Changxiao found some time and gathered all those spirit beasts who had taken human form with strength comparable to Martial King and Martial Emperor levels, ordering Liu Wanshi to cook a meal.

“Heavens! I never imagined that human grains could taste better than meat!”

“Give me another… ten bowls!”

“Wuwuwu, it’s so delicious, so fragrant!”

A group of spirit beasts who ate meat every day, after tasting the fried rice made by Liu Wanshi, felt their lives had reached their peak!

Jun Changxiao wouldn’t let them eat and drink for free. After successfully capturing their appetites, he began conducting a census.

Lions, tigers, leopards, wolves…

All types of fierce beasts were present in abundance, and in very large numbers.

Initially, Jun Changxiao considered assigning high-level wolf beasts to the Wolf Cavalry Hall, but after consideration, he decided to establish a hall primarily composed of fierce beasts.

Although five hundred thousand fierce beasts had already settled on Tielgu Mountain, their spiritual leader remained Demon King Zilin, so having this fellow serve as hall master was undoubtedly the best choice.

“Disciple or hall master—you choose.”

“Hall master!”

Demon King Zilin’s mind was still sound. He knew that hall master ranked much higher than disciple!

Jun Changxiao said seriously, “Since you’ve become a hall master of the Myriad Ancient Sect, you must shoulder the responsibilities of a hall master.”

“No problem,” said Demon King Zilin.

“Then it’s settled.”

Jun Changxiao said, “This seat will announce it tomorrow.”

The next day…

The Spirit Beast Hall officially opened.

Demon King Zilin served as hall master, Old Bull as vice hall master, and the other spirit beasts became the first batch of members.

The Myriad Ancient Sect’s membership numbers increased again.

Although they weren’t human, they still counted as members and still earned contribution points.

Jun Changxiao had realized that whether human or beast, all could join the Myriad Ancient Sect and become his disciples.

“That’s right.”

“This seat wants to establish the strongest sect. How can the disciples recruited be limited to only humans!”

Martial cultivators and demonic cultivators—present.

Humans and beast race—also present!

My Myriad Ancient Sect is a sect that encompasses all things, a paradise of bliss in this vast world!

Old Bull and the others had considerable strength. More than ten were comparable to Emperor level, and fifty were comparable to King level. This was definitely a very powerful force!

“If we count them, wouldn’t we just need to recruit disciples to the standard to advance to third-rate?”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes immediately brightened.

The system threw cold water on him: “They are, after all, only beast race. Although they have strength comparable to human levels, they lack realm auras, so the Authentication Hall definitely won’t acknowledge them.”

“…” Jun Changxiao fell silent.

“Sect Master!”

Liu Wanshi pointed at the newly hung plaque and blinked, saying, “If the character for ‘beast’ falls off or fades, won’t it become ‘Spirit Hall’?”

The little girl’s thinking was unique, her angle peculiar!

…

With the Spirit Beast Hall established, Demon King Zilin transformed into a hall master.

The gate-opening duties were entirely delegated to He Wudi, so he now held two positions, becoming the Myriad Ancient Sect’s true gatekeeper disciple.

“So comfortable.”

The next day, Demon King Zilin sat in the hall’s large chair, a trace of satisfaction appearing on his face.

“Hall Master Zi.”

Shortly after, Xue Rengui walked in, smiling as he said, “I’d like to discuss something.”

“Speak.”

Demon King Zilin replied arrogantly.

Heh.

Just promoted to hall master and already putting on airs.

Xue Rengui smiled, “My Wolf Cavalry Hall lacks over three thousand wolf beasts. Could you allocate some?”

“No!”

Demon King Zilin flatly refused, “The beast race will never be slaves, will never be ridden!”

“Hall Master Zi.”

Xue Rengui said seriously, “You and I are both Myriad Ancient Sect hall masters now. Everything must prioritize the sect’s interests. Besides, transferring the wolf beasts over is also to help them become stronger.”

“…”

“Moreover, speaking narrowly, this is… and speaking broadly, this is…”

Half an hour later…

Xue Rengui returned happily.

In a daze, Demon King Zilin issued his first order as hall master, sending the best wolf beast breeds to the Wolf Cavalry Hall.

A few days later…

After deep consideration, Jun Changxiao announced that the Wolf Cavalry Hall would be renamed the War Cavalry Hall, with Xue Rengui and Tao Yuan continuing as head and vice hall masters. The hall would have Tiger Cavalry Regiment, Lion Cavalry Regiment, Leopard Cavalry Regiment, and Wolf Cavalry Regiment.

Zhenyang Commandery had the four great military corps of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The Myriad Ancient Sect had the four great cavalry regiments of lions, tigers, leopards, and wolves.

From this change and the establishment of the four regiments, it was clear that Jun Changxiao intended to use the fierce beast groups to establish a major hall capable of conquering battlefields.

“Hall Master Zi.”

After the War Cavalry Hall was established, Xue Rengui came to the Spirit Beast Hall again, smiling, “Could you allocate some more lion beasts, tiger beasts, and leopard beasts to my War Cavalry Hall?”

“No!” Hall Master Zi said firmly.

He had figured it out—Jun Changxiao made him Spirit Beast Hall master just to conveniently allocate various breeds of mounts to the War Cavalry Hall!

Cunning human.

This king will definitely hold firm this time!

Unable to get what he wanted after repeated requests, Xue Rengui finally had to summon the sect master.

“Snap.”

Jun Changxiao came to the Spirit Beast Hall and placed a spatial ring containing hundreds of thousands of Beast Pills on the table, saying, “Will you give them or not?”

“I’ll give them!”
