System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"Hmph, revealing the name of our ancestor will give you a fright!"

The golden eagle, recalling the relevant content in the Demon Transformation Manual, proudly declared, "The top leaders of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain are naturally Lord Bai Li and Elder Xuan!"

Bai Li had long disliked the golden eagle's arrogant demeanor, and seeing it start boasting again, she was about to swat it with her little tail once more. But upon hearing the name it gave, she instantly stopped.

"Bai Li and Xuan Shuize?" Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly when he heard the name of the top of Wan Yao Mountain, revealing a smile as he spoke.

"How dare you address me, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, by my name! Do you have a death wish?" The golden eagle roared angrily at Chen Xuan, its eyes wide. "You must use a respectful title!"

"Ahem—ah, little one, your ancestor Bai Li... has to say a few words." Just then, Bai Li cleared her throat and instantly transformed into a petite loli with long white hair. She spoke in an old-fashioned manner to the golden eagle whose pupils had suddenly dilated, "Do I look familiar to you?"

The golden eagle saw a small black snake suddenly transform into a petite girl in white. A flicker of amazement crossed its eyes, followed by a complete blank in its mind. Then, the image of Ancestor Bai Li on the first page of the Demon Transformation Manual clearly appeared in its mind.

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you impersonate the number one ancestor of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain!" Just as the golden eagle was filled with rage.

"hold head high!"

A huge, winding black dragon, hundreds of meters long, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Ancestor, Ancestor Bai Li, can transform into a hundred-meter-long black dragon, and in human form she is a girl in white... Ancestor!"

How could the art of transformation easily fool the golden eagle? After all, within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, there are many powerful fox clan members who can easily use transformation techniques to deceive others.

But as Bai Li's true form as a black dragon appeared, the powerful aura of a great demon of the Myriad Manifestations Realm also spread out, instantly confirming her identity.

The golden eagle stared in shock, its whole body trembling uncontrollably. Seeing Bai Li transform back into human form, it was so excited it could barely speak.

"Am I, Jin Da, about to bring glory to my ancestors?" The golden eagle looked at Bai Li tremblingly, its eyes gleaming with excitement. "Father, your son has brought you honor!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan and Bai Li nearly coughed up blood.

"Hmph, you don't know what's important." Bai Li rubbed her throbbing head and said irritably, "This is my master."

"What?" Upon hearing the word "master," the golden eagle was taken aback at first, but then immediately recalled a person's name and appearance.

"Lord Chen, Lord Chen Xuan!" When the golden eagle once entered the demon realm, it had caught a glimpse of the enormous stone statue standing in the square of the Dragon Xia Clan Palace. Although it was only a distant glance, it was still deeply shocked by the statue's heroic and domineering aura.

At this moment, the golden eagle looked at Chen Xuan's appearance and compared it with the appearance of the stone statue in its distant memories. It was instantly petrified, squeaking and tears welling up in its eyes.

Chen Xuan was also a little annoyed. He looked at the golden eagle's wide-open beak and said irritably, "So, you haven't even given me a second glance all this time, have you?"

Today, Chen Xuan is the spiritual leader of the entire Qushan people and has long been sung about as a mythical figure. The golden eagle's awe-inspiring appearance is more or less related to this, mainly because there are too many legends about Chen Xuan.

Who would have thought that we would actually see the living Chen Xuan today?

"Let's go back to Zelinhai first."

After Chen Xuan gave the order, Bai Li released the spiritual energy restraints on the golden eagle. The golden eagle was quite clever and immediately asked to carry Chen Xuan and Bai Li on their way.

Chen Xuan had been flying on his sword the whole way, which wasn't too taxing, but it was still quite a bit. So, he simply agreed to the golden eagle's request, since he also had some questions he wanted to ask it.

"Tell me, when was this Ten Thousand Demon Mountain established, and what was its original purpose?"

The golden eagle's flight speed wasn't particularly fast; in fact, it was rather slow. However, since they were already within the territory of Qushan, Chen Xuan wasn't in a hurry.

"I dare not conceal the truth. According to the Demon Transformation Manual, Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was established less than a year ago. Its initial purpose was for the Ministry of National Defense to block all potential and direct threats outside Zelin Sea as much as possible. Because a year ago I was just an acquired demon beast, I don't know exactly what happened back then."

In just one year, Qushan has undergone such a tremendous change. All of this is because the Silver One Squad sneaked into Zelinhai without anyone noticing, directly threatening the safety of Longxia Jiucheng in Zelinhai.

After Yin Yi and the others left, the generals who participated in national defense construction, along with Xuan Shuize and the Jiang family's high-ranking officials, discussed and came up with the Wan Yao Mountain that exists today.

"So what are your daily tasks?" Chen Xuan nodded, seemingly having already guessed some things.

"Hehe, because of my low strength, I was assigned to patrol and guard this area after joining the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. My wife and I are mainly responsible for patrolling the border area and preventing aerial threats. If we encounter flying demon beasts, we can drive them away or kill them if we are weak; if we encounter humans, we must use the communication talisman to send a message and block them!"

When asked about its mission, the golden eagle immediately raised its head and puffed out its chest, its face beaming with immense pride.

"How many flying beasts like you, responsible for aerial security and vigilance, are there in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain?" Chen Xuan asked with interest.

"I'm not sure about the exact number, but our group is responsible for about three thousand in the area. We never dare to ask about the other areas because the team leaders are different."

"The air defense network has been initially completed." Chen Xuan nodded slightly, gaining a clearer understanding of the situation at Wan Yao Mountain.
