The Moon Deity was the benefactor that had allowed the demon race to tread on the road to power.
After that event, the first batch of demons attained intelligence and started cultivating. They established the day when the Moon Deity bestowed Moon Essence as a Sacrificial Ceremonial Day to worship and express their gratitude to the deity.
This was an activity participated by the entire demon race. No matter how hostile the tribes were with each other. They would all put down their enmity and sincerely set their minds on the Full Moon Sacrificial Ceremony when it arrived.
In the beginning, the hosting of the ceremony would rotate between tribes. However, some tribes started to wane and decline, whilst others rose up in power. The ceremony’s host became the qualification of the most powerful tribes and rotated amongst them.
The last ceremony was hosted by the Lion Demons. This time, it was the Bird Demons who were hosting.
Moreover, with the Lion Demon’s powerful influence now, they became the first co-host together.
Since a few days ago, everyone tacitly agreed to stop fighting to participate in the ceremony.
To Bai Chen Feng, this event held even more significance.
This was the first time he would debut as the Lion Demon Emperor in front of all the demons. If he performed well and obtained the Moon Deity’s acknowledgment, he would get a genuine firm standing amongst the demons.
However, if a slight mistake were to occur, he would be pulled down by those ambitious demons eyeing his position. They can publicize that he has no right to be in the Demon Realm as the Moon Deity did not acknowledge him. Only difficulties would await him even if he remained in the Lion Demon Territory.
That was why Bai Chen Feng beheld the event with great importance.
The location of the Full Moon Sacrificial Ceremony had never changed. It was the Sacred Mountain of Demons.
This was a unique land where no demon had power over.
During regular times, the Sacred Mountain would be in a sealed state.
Only lesser demons with mild temperaments who decided to dedicate their remaining lives to worship the Moon Deity would stay and maintain the mountain.
The mountain would only open once per century. Unless one wishes to continue closed-door seclusion, all demons will make a trip to worship.
From the mountain peak to foot was several hundred miles, it was filled with demons.
The more powerful the tribe, the closer they would be to the mountain peak. It was said that if one were lucky and sincere in their worship, they could obtain the Moon Deity’s blessing on the day of the ceremony.
Bai Chen Feng had brought Lord Little Yan and arrived at the Sacred Mountain ten days before the day of the ceremony, staying at the peak of the Sacred Mountain.
On the Sacred Mountain Peak was a plaza made from Moonstone. When the moon rises, the Moonstone will radiate and exchange light with the moon, creating a shocking scene.
At the center of the plaza was a giant altar. Other than that, there were only several stone huts constructed at the edge of the plaza. These were lodgings for the host and co-hosts of the ceremony.
Logically speaking, Lord Little Yan cannot be allowed to stay in the acmodations. However, Bai Chen Feng could not feel assured enough to let her leave his sight and live in the lower regions.
Wicked people were having ill intentions towards Lord Little Yan!
That was why he stubbornly brought her along.
When bringing Lord Little Yan, it was only natural that the damnable eyesore, Carrot Demon, would e along.
It was said that the Golden Roc Demon Emperor was not the host of the ceremony this time, as the latter had been in closed-door seclusion for several years.
Instead, a Clan Leader of the Bird Demons took up the role, an Eagle Demon King.
This demon did not possess any ferocious aura like that of an eagle. His human form was like a middle-aged scholar, having a calm and peaceful expression.
When he saw Bai Chen Feng dragging an entourage with him, he only smiled and did not make things difficult.
As he knew the importance of this ceremony to Bai Chen Feng. Knowing that this was the latter’s first time here, he actively instructed Bai Chen Feng on some crucial details to look out for during the ceremony.
When he met Lord Little Yan, there was a trace of uncertainty and pondering that appeared in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
