Hey I have read many things about this ability, but it is nowhere to be found in the codex... (or maybe I am blind...? ^^')

Any help where I can find official rules to that?

Thanks!!

I think it's in the Demon Codex.

This ^

Bear in mind with a new daemons codex inbound it might not exist soon.

There is a WARP LOCUS keyword on a couple models in the CSM book. While it may not tie to summoning it likely ties to the impending daemon book in some way.

Okay, so this is an old ability and out of date?

Daemonic Ritual

Through dark pacts and blasphemous rituals, a champion of Chaos weakens the fabric of reality, opening a gateway to the warp through which daemonic allies can pour to rend and tear the enemies of the Dark Gods.
Instead of moving in their Movement phase, any CHAOS CHARACTER can, at the end of their Movement phase, attempt to summon a unit with this ability by performing a Daemonic Ritual (the character cannot do so if they arrived as reinforcements this turn, or if they themselves have been summoned to the battlefield this turn).

If they do so, first choose one of the four Chaos Gods – KHORNE, TZEENTCH, NURGLE or SLAANESH. A CHARACTER who owes allegiance to one of the Dark Gods can only attempt to summon the units of their patron – for example, a KHORNE CHARACTER could only attempt to summon a KHORNE unit.

Roll up to three D6 – this is your summoning roll. You can summon one new unit with the Daemonic Ritual ability to the battlefield that has a Power Rating equal to or less than the total result so long as it has the same Chaos God keyword you chose at the start. This unit is treated as reinforcements for your army and can be placed anywhere on the battlefield that is wholly within 12" of the character and more than 9" from any enemy model. If the total rolled is insufficient to summon any unit, the ritual fails and no new unit is summoned.

If your summoning roll included any doubles, your character then suffers 1 mortal wound. If it contained any triples, it instead suffers D3 mortal wounds.

If that's what's in the current demon codex, its up-to-date - until the new codex arrives.

Yep, this. The current rumor going around is there will be a traveling player esque rule for including Daemons in other Chaos armies, but we won't know for sure until either a Warcom Preview (Which could be wrong anyway...) or the Dex is released.
