Chen Mu stepped into the White Jade Pavilion, casually picking up a roll of demon skin from the shelf. On it, he saw densely written tiny characters, evidently penned long ago, as some of the ancient fonts were no longer in use today.
"...In the year 157 of the Da Xuan Calendar, a demon invasion occurred in the Outer Sea. The Imperial Court deployed the Azure Dragon and White Tiger armies to the East Proximity to engage the demons. Numerous Great Demons and Demon Kings were slain, and then a tenth rank Heavenly Demon Black Tortoise attacked, causing heavy casualties to the Azure Dragon Army. Before the two armies could encircle it, it retreated into the depths of the Outer Sea, where its whereabouts remain unknown."
Chen Mu carefully examined the text on the demon skin, discovering that this roll documented the traces of all tenth rank Heavenly Demons since the founding of Da Xuan, continuously recorded up to the Da Xuan Calendar, a period spanning over eleven hundred years.
