Chapter 37: Spirit Official_1

That night, in the dilapidated temple amidst the mountains.

Yibai coiled his body and gazed at the Monkey Demon, quietly waiting for it to tell the story of the broken temple.

He was curious to hear what kind of story had occurred for the temple to possess the power to safely endure the day of the Summer Solstice.

"Dragon offspring, listen carefully. This place of wanton worship once enshrined a Great Demon that devoured humans. This Great Demon has shed its monstrous form and refined it into a human body, advancing into shape-shifting. Would such a being be worthy of the title 'Great Demon'?"

The Monkey Demon chuckled mischievously.

"Of course it would."

Yibai agreed.

To coalesce a Demon Core is to reach a significant milestone; it earns one the title 'Great Demon,' let alone the ability to shape-shift.

The Mountain Lord of Dayin Mountain who was at the zenith of its Demon Core was able to change the fate of a region, giving a glimpse into the sheer power of a shape-shifter.
