Lü Dongbin smiled slightly, and with a light tap of his sword on the water screen, a golden light flashed, and the scene on it changed.
The mirror image showed a patch of darkness, with only a single point of red light shining through.
The red light then grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a bizarre, ghostly flower, which was firmly imprinted on the green skin.
Holy Lord!
Xu Le saw the dark green, rough skin, as ugly as a lizard, and knew without a doubt that it was the Holy Lord.
The dark shadows thinned, revealing the Holy Lord's figure, but only a dragon soul remained. A ghostly flower on the dragon soul emitted a ferocious smile, and vines spread from the flower, slowly wrapping around the Holy Lord's dragon soul. The Holy Lord's dragon soul seemed blind, making no reaction to the ghostly flower's entanglement.
Xu Le vaguely grasped the clues, but still couldn't find the key, so he continued to stare at the water curtain.
In the mirror image, the Holy Lord's dragon soul is rooted and sucked by the Ghost Face Flower, while pink smoke covers its dragon soul, confusing its senses and keeping it in a state of excitement.
Bang!
The water mirror shattered, turning into water vapor and dissipating into the void. Xu Le, seemingly lost in thought, said to the eight solemn-faced immortal gods, "This ghostly flower is karma!"
Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of the eight immortal gods. Among them, Lü Dongbin said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you indeed have a good eye! This is a being that bears the karma of an entire world! Because the Holy Lord altered the history books of time and changed the fate of all things, he must bear the karma of all beings whose fates were changed!"
"Why do you make the Holy Lord bear the karma of the world?"
Xu Le had already guessed the truth and gave orders to Little King Kong through their soul connection.
Lü Dongbin remained unmoved. As the representative of the Eight Immortals, for reasons unknown, he was so kind to Xu Le, who was only at the Void Returning Realm.
Lü Dongbin, like a kind elder, explained enthusiastically, "Since you come from another world, you naturally don't have the same constraints as us. I wonder if you know that there are actually not just eight demons, but thousands!"
"Several thousand, um, I do know a little about them."
Xu Le nodded. His father had mentioned in the animation that thousands of demon mages had appeared in history, but only eight demons survived and ruled the land.
The animation only briefly mentions these thousands of demon mages, and whether or not it is specifically described does not have a significant impact on the animation. However, in the real world, thousands of demon mages have disappeared and been buried by time, which shows how much secret is hidden.
Lu Dongbin also stopped smiling and said in a deep voice, "Actually, the eight of us were just a few of the thousands of demon wizards at that time!" (In episode 13 of the anime, the old man said that there were thousands of demon wizards in history, but only the eight demon wizards, including Shendu, appeared.)
"What!"
Xu Le was genuinely surprised by this news, but he was also puzzled. These eight immortal gods were actually the demon mages from back then, so why did they join humanity and seal away eight demons? Was it because they had a change of heart or were conflicted?
After all, the eight immortal gods did not rule the land after the demons died; instead, they disappeared, indicating that they were not very attached to power, or that the allure of power was not strong enough.
Lu Dongbin noticed Xu Le's confusion, and with a wave of his sleeve, eight monsters in the form of gods and demons appeared, looking down on the world. They should be the same as when they were demon mages, just as he had said before.
"Then you should have realized that there is no immortal in this world!"
Upon hearing this, a heavy feeling appeared in the eyes of the other immortal gods, casting a shadow of gloom over them.
"Immortal!"
Xu Le then realized that this was a low-to-medium level world. According to the nine levels he had defined based on the information provided by the Gate of Myriad Realms, there should be a first level, namely the level of immortals.
However, after Xu Le entered the world of Jackie Chan Adventures, the eight demons' peak strength was only at the Void Returning stage. Even if the eight immortal gods reached the Dao Integration stage, it only surprised Xu Le for a moment.
However, the hierarchy of the world itself has been overlooked. The world of Jackie Chan Adventures seems to be able to accommodate the strongest beings of the first level, but now only eight immortal gods at the Dao Integration Realm are dominating. Is it because they are not talented enough to break through?
Xu Le pondered. These eight immortal gods were among the most ancient demon mages, yet they had become immortal gods but were stuck at the Dao Integration Realm. It seemed that the waters of this world were not shallow.
Xu Le didn't play word games with them and asked directly, "Since you are demon wizards, why did you become immortal gods and help humans seal away demons!"
Lu Dongbin smiled wryly upon hearing this, "Back then, the thousands of demon wizards were the earliest beings in this world. Each of them represented a law of heaven and earth, and it could be said that everyone was like a dragon. The eight of us were the strongest among them and were known as the Eight Monarchs! Each of us has reached the half-step immortal realm!"
Eight Lords! Eight Immortals! Eight Demons!
The number eight runs through the core of the text and seems to have a close connection with the Eight Trigrams.
"Fire, water, heaven, moon, earth, mountain, wind, and thunder—the core elements of the Eight Trigrams, are also the core elements of the world, representing both creation and destruction!"
He Xiangu spoke, and the lotus in her hand slowly danced. It wasn't dancing because it was controlled by telekinesis or magic, but because the gravity in the space where the lotus was located had been altered. After losing gravity, the lotus's light body slowly flew upward.
He Xiangu! Gravity!

The next morning, as dawn broke, the sun appeared behind the mountain peaks, then slowly rose, casting its warm rays upon the earth, dispelling the darkness, and all things gradually awoke.
The little monsters started to get active, and the drunken scorpion demon slowly woke up. He shook his groggy head and looked around. He found himself covered with a blanket, and next to him slept a snake demon dressed in a thin veil. She seemed a little tired and was curled up in a ball, sleeping quietly.
Scorpion looked at her with heartache and wanted to cover her with the blanket in his hand, but as he got closer, a familiar fishy smell entered his nose.
Could it be that he got drunk with his wife yesterday...?
The scorpion demon felt even more guilty. He hadn't expected to be so reckless while drunk, leaving his wife so exhausted. The scorpion demon felt he should find some fresh, live creatures to nourish his wife.
Thinking of this, the scorpion demon tiptoed out of the room. However, he did not see that after he left, the snake demon slowly opened her eyes, looked at the blanket covering her, and was overcome with grief, unable to stop sobbing.

Xu Le sat cross-legged on the stone bed in the cave, visualizing himself with his divine sense. He slowly used the seven-colored divine light he had absorbed from the snake spirit to repair the damaged foundation within his body. The injuries within his body were gradually repaired, and the damaged foundation was repaired a little bit. Although the effect was not significant, it stopped the trend of further damage to the foundation.
Xu Le also learned about the snake spirit's identity yesterday: a descendant of Nuwa. Their ancestor was transformed from a drop of blood from Nuwa, the goddess who mended the sky, and was formed from the essence of heaven and earth. Therefore, their clan has a lofty status.
