Chapter 90: The Great Demons & Celestial Demons

Like I thought...the twelfth order seems to be more or less equivalent to the First Class, just below the God King level. Tang San calculated silently in his mind. It made sense.

The lineage of Wind Wolves was only at the fourth tier, not even reaching the third. Guan Longjiang's specific mention of Wind Wolves was for him to hear.

Guan Longjiang continued, "The demon clans of the third and fourth tiers constitute the main force of the demon world. They are the most numerous and the most active. The demons we usually encounter belong mostly to these tiers.

"As for the second tier, that's again another different world. The demons of the second tier can be called great demons. Their lineage is also known as a great demon bloodline. Beings of the second and first tiers have the potential to cultivate to the twelfth order of ancestral great demons. Of course, the potential is just potential; whether one can cultivate it to that level depends on effort and luck. But at least the potential is there.

"The most important aspect of the second tier is the golden bloodlines of the major powerful clans. Golden bloodlines are a characteristic of the second tier. They are the purest ancestral bloodlines from ancient times, and the ones who possess them inherit immense power. Those of the second tier often possess the strength of the eighth or even ninth order at birth. They are mighty beings, and nearly all of them reach the god level when they mature, so they are at the very apex of the pyramid.

"Their leaders are the hegemons of the demon clans, and they control the entire demon race. Only those of the second tier and higher, after all, are eligible to enter the Ancestral Court. They are the true Great Demons, and right now, these demons are beyond our ability to contend with. If humanity wishes to rise in the future, we must have individuals who can cultivate to this level to stand a chance."

As he spoke to this point, a certain melancholy was evident in his expression. It spoke volumes of the extreme difficulties that humans faced in reaching this level.

“The first tier...” Guan Longjiang paused for a moment. “Sometimes, the first tier is also referred to as Great Demons. But the true beings of the first tier, progenitors of ancient bloodlines, are called Celestial Demons. For true Celestial Demons, their cultivation order at birth is not important. What matters is their inheritance of special bloodlines of the demon race. They are beings who can shift the course of history. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"First-tier demons rarely leave the Ancestral Court, and all the second-tier Demon Kings see it as their duty to guard them. Their numbers are scarce, but their individual abilities are beyond incredible. Being born at the first tier means that as long as they grow normally, they can certainly cultivate to the twelfth order, even to the pinnacle of the twelfth order.

"But you must understand vassals and the true demons are different. We don't possess their innate immense strength. The power we can achieve depends entirely on the amount of effort you put into it, and those who don’t cultivate get nothing. Moreover, our vassal bloodlines are generally much weaker than those of the same type in the demon clans. It's challenging to cultivate to their level."

Tang San listened intently to Guan Longjiang's lecture when Du Bai, sitting beside him, nudged him lightly.

Tang San turned to look at him with a questioning look on his face.

Du Bai chuckled softly and whispered, "Hey, you may want to think again about becoming my guardian. There's still time, you know. I am the only one among us who inherited a first-tier bloodline."

Tang San's heart stirred as he was struck by the realization that the origin of Du Bai’s bloodline was one of the Seven Celestial Demons. Could the potential of the Celestial Fox Vision reach such a level?

Seeing Du Bai's smug expression, Tang San smiled and continued listening to Guan Longjiang.

Cheng Zicheng, who was sitting on the other side of Tang San, spoke in a low voice, "Don't listen to his boasting. Yeah, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor is one of the Seven Celestial Demons. But the problem is, Du Bai’s Celestial Fox bloodline is really weak. Otherwise, why can't he even break through to the fourth order? Celestial Foxes may not be strong at birth, but as they grow up, they don’t even know what a bottleneck is."

“You shouldn’t poke at someone’s weakness, Zicheng. You won't make friends that way," Du Bai said irritably.

Cheng Zicheng rolled her eyes and ignored him.
