After the Pangu phantom completely solidified, he shouted,
"Cha!!!"
As the Pangu phantom made a sound, Emperor Jun and the others in the Heavenly Court simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Damn it!!! The Witch Race actually has such a trump card. Is it Heaven's will to destroy my Yao Race?"
Emperor Jun and the others turned pale as they felt the unfathomable Qi from the Pangu phantom.
After the Pangu phantom emerged, he grabbed, but his hands were empty at this moment, so he naturally grabbed nothing.
Seeing this situation, the Pangu phantom reached out and beckoned.
Following the Pangu phantom's movements,
Taiyi in the Yao Race suddenly felt an anomaly from the Chaos Bell in his hand.
"Damn it!!!"
Upon sensing this, Taiyi fully circulated his spiritual power to suppress the Chaos Bell's anomaly.
Meanwhile, Hongjun in Zixiao Palace also felt the anomalies from the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, but Hongjun simply suppressed them with a casual press.
After waiting for a while, the Pangu phantom in the Heavenly Court still didn't receive what he had summoned, and he frowned.
However, he then grabbed into the Void Realm again.
Countless Spiritual Qi condensed in the Pangu phantom's hand, ultimately forming a giant axe.
"Pangu Axe!!!"
Everyone present now completely believed that this figure was truly the Pangu phantom.
After holding the Pangu Axe, the Pangu phantom swung it towards the Yao Race.
A destructive axe light rapidly flew towards the Yao Race.
Upon seeing the axe light, Emperor Jun and the others knew that most of the Yao Race couldn't resist it. They quickly sacrificed their Spirit Treasures, hoping to block the axe light.
However, the Spirit Treasures of Emperor Jun and the others, even the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll and the Chaos Bell, could not block that axe light.
But with the obstruction of these Spirit Treasures, the power of that axe light also decreased.
Nevertheless, wherever the axe light passed, all Yao Race members below the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm perished, and those above the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm were severely wounded.
Emperor Jun and the others were not in a good situation at this moment either.
And this was merely the power of a single axe light from the Pangu phantom.
At this moment, Emperor Jun and the others looked at the Pangu phantom with utter despair.
They knew that the Pangu phantom's next axe would be their death sentence.
And the Ancestral Witches within the Pangu phantom were overjoyed to see the miserable state of the Yao Race.
"Hahahaha, let's see how you block Father God's next attack!!!"
Zhurong's voice came from within the Pangu phantom's body.
His tone was full of mockery towards Emperor Jun and the others.
However, Emperor Jun and the others at this moment had no strength to retort Zhurong's mockery.
The giant axe in the Pangu phantom's hand swung towards the Yao Race once more.
Emperor Jun and the others looked at the axe light, wanting to block it, but they had already exhausted all their strength in blocking the previous axe light. At this moment, they had no remaining strength to block the axe light.
"Damn it, I originally thought the establishment of the Heavenly Court was the beginning of our Yao Race's prosperity, but now it seems to be the beginning of our Yao Race's demise. I am unwilling!"
And the Ancestral Witches within the Pangu phantom's body revealed joyful expressions after seeing the situation of Emperor Jun and the others.
Among the Primordial Land, only the Yao Race could barely contend with their Witch Race. If the Yao Race could be annihilated today, then it would be a matter of course for the Witch Race to govern the Primordial Land.
Taichu in the Sea of Blood was also paying attention to the movements in the Heavenly Court at this time.
Upon seeing the Pangu phantom about to swing the giant axe again, Taichu sighed and shook his head.
"What a pity, Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao will not allow the Yao Race to be annihilated."
The Yao Race encompassed almost seventy to eighty percent of the races in the Primordial Land. Once Emperor Jun and the others fell, the Yao Race would inevitably be annihilated.
Neither Hongjun nor the Heavenly Dao would allow a race like the Witch Race, which was ignorant of heavenly secrets and disrespectful of the Heavenly Dao, to rule the Primordial Land.
Therefore, Taichu knew that Hongjun would definitely choose to obstruct the Witch Race.
Indeed, as the axe light approached the Yao Race, it was blocked by a purple light.
Subsequently, a figure appeared above the Heavenly Court.
This person was naturally Saint Hongjun.
That purple light just now was obviously also emitted by him.
After blocking the axe light, Hongjun looked towards the Witch Race.
"Alas."
"Stop."
The Ancestral Witches within the Pangu phantom's body originally thought that Emperor Jun and the others were about to fall into their hands, but they didn't expect to be intervened by Hongjun.
At this moment, they were all glaring at Hongjun in the Void Realm.
"Hongjun, are you going to help the Yao Race and obstruct our Witch Race?"
Hongjun's eyes seemed to be able to see the Ancestral Witches within the Pangu phantom's body, and he shook his head.
"The Yao Race should not be destroyed. You all, retreat!"
Emperor Jun and the others showed joy upon hearing Hongjun's words.
"Thank you, Saint, for your assistance," the members of the Yao Race shouted in unison to Hongjun.
Now the Yao Race was at its last gasp, and it seemed the Witch Race was about to win. How could the Witch Race be willing to leave at this moment?
Therefore, upon hearing Saint Hongjun's words, the Ancestral Witches became even more enraged.
"Damn it, you want to protect the Yao Race? Then let you, this Primordial Land Saint, try the power of Father God."
Subsequently, the Pangu phantom, wielding the giant axe in his hand, charged towards Hongjun.
Hongjun sighed again when he saw the Pangu phantom charging at him.
Hongjun simply pointed at the Pangu phantom.
"Bang!!!"
The Pangu phantom was forced into the Primordial Land by Hongjun's single finger.
Moreover, the Pangu mark on the Pangu phantom also began to disappear, and in a short while, the Pangu phantom itself dissipated.
The figures of the Twelve Ancestral Witches appeared in their original spots. At this moment, the Ancestral Witch Dharma bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not be maintained.
Clearly, the dissipation of the Pangu phantom was still a great drain on the Ancestral Witches.
Everyone in the Primordial Land was shocked when they saw that the Pangu phantom, which had almost annihilated the Yao Race with a single axe, couldn't even resist Hongjun's single finger.
"How is that possible!!!"
"Is this a Saint?"
"Below a Saint, all are ants!"
Everyone looked at the heavily injured Ancestral Witches with endless emotion.
They knew before that Saints were very strong, but they had never truly seen a Saint personally take action.
Now that Hongjun had made a move, they realized that they had previously underestimated the power of a Saint.
This also made them look forward to Hongjun's third sermon even more.
And Emperor Jun and the others showed joy after seeing that the Ancestral Witches were all heavily injured by Hongjun.
Now that the Ancestral Witches were heavily injured, as long as they seized this opportunity to slay the Ancestral Witches, then the Primordial Land would belong to their Yao Race.
However, just as they were about to act to deal with the Ancestral Witches, they were once again stopped by Hongjun.
"Saint Hongjun!!!"
Emperor Jun and the other demons looked at Hongjun in confusion. They didn't understand why Hongjun, who had just been helping them, would stop them.
Hongjun looked at the Yao Race.
"The Witch Race also cannot be destroyed."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jun and the others felt a bit stifled.
But they knew that no one could defy Hongjun's power at this moment.
Hongjun looked coldly at the Witch and Demon Clans, who finally stopped fighting.
"From now on, the demons shall govern the heavens, and the witches shall govern the earth. The two clans shall cease hostilities for five Yuanhui."
The Witch and Demon Clans looked at each other with unwillingness after hearing Hongjun's words, but they were unable to resist Hongjun's will at this moment.
"We respectfully obey the Saint's decree."
Emperor Jun and the other demons looked at Hongjun and bowed.
And the Ancestral Witches at this moment looked at Hongjun with anger.
Finally, Dijiang suppressed his anger and looked at the other Ancestral Witches.
"Hmph, let's go."
"Big Brother!!!"
Zhurong and the others looked at Dijiang in confusion after hearing his words.
"I said go, did you not hear me?"
Dijiang turned his head to look at the other Ancestral Witches.
Even though Dijiang was furious at this moment, as the leader of the Witch Race, he needed to consider the Witch Race.
Hongjun dispelled the Pangu phantom with a single blow. With such power, even if the Witch Race fought desperately, they would not be able to harm Hongjun.
Therefore, even though Dijiang was incredibly angry at this moment, he could only obey Hongjun's request and leave the Heavenly Court.
Upon hearing Dijiang's words, Zhurong and the others glared fiercely at the distant Yao Race, then left the Heavenly Court under Dijiang's leadership.
And after the Witch Race left, Hongjun's figure also disappeared into the Void Realm.
With the Witch and Demon Clans ordered to cease hostilities for five Yuanhui by Saint Hongjun, the Yao Race in Primordial Land began to migrate en masse to the Immortal Court, while most of the Primordial Land was managed by the Witch Race.
Because the Witch Race's managed territory expanded too much, Dijang and others decided to divide the Witch Race into twelve tribes, with each tribe managed by an Ancestor Witch.
The cessation of hostilities between the Witch and Demon Clans also brought a brief period of peace to Primordial Land.
At this time, Emperor Jun sat in the Immortal Court, cultivating his accompanying Spirit Treasure, the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll.
After Emperor Jun established the Immortal Court, he sensed an anomaly with the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll, but at that time the Witch Race attacked the Immortal Court, and he had no time or energy to deal with these matters; now that the Witch and Demon Clans had stopped fighting, he finally had time to examine the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll.
"Strange, I clearly feel that the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll have been anomalous ever since I established the Immortal Court, but why can't I find the source of the anomaly?"
"What is this? How come I didn't discover that the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll contained a Great Formation before?"
In fact, Emperor Jun did not know that the predecessor of their current Immortal Court, the Thirty-three Heavens, was actually three Innate Sacreds of Primordial Land, named Qingtian, Cangtian, and Huangtian. These three Innate Sacreds were among the earliest born in Primordial Land and were also nurtured from the Primordial Starry Sky.
However, these three had bad Luck and perished during the Vicious Beast Tribulation.
Nevertheless, since the Three Heavens were Innate Sacreds nurtured by the Primordial Starry Sky, after their demise, their true forms transformed into these Thirty-three Heavens.
Because the Three Heavens were Innate Sacreds nurtured by the Primordial Starry Sky, they had the deepest understanding of the Primordial Starry Sky. The Great Formation contained within the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll was actually the famous Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation of later generations.
This Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation was actually formed from the Origin of the Three Heavens.
Now, because Emperor Jun established the Immortal Court in the Thirty-three Heavens and used the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll to suppress Luck, the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation, formed from the Origin of the Three Heavens, was also transferred into the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll.
However, at this time, Emperor Jun was not yet aware of all this.
After tens of thousands of years of research, he was still unable to comprehend the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation within the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll. He reluctantly left the Immortal Court to seek help from Emperor Xi Fuxi, who had the highest Formation Dao strength among the Yao Race.
However, Emperor Jun did not know at this time that Fuxi, whom he sought help from, was also immensely troubled.
Fuxi's troubles came from Nuwa.
Nuwa's attitude towards joining the Yao Race had always been neutral. Her previous agreement to Emperor Jun's invitation to join the Yao Race was mainly because of her elder brother, Fuxi.
However, after experiencing the last great battle between the Witch and Demon Clans, Nuwa began to waver in her decision to join the Yao Race.
For years, she had been persuading Fuxi to return to their Immortal Cave with her and no longer concern himself with the affairs of the Yao Race.
However, Fuxi had truly joined the Yao Race, and thus he was willing to sacrifice for the Yao Race.
"Big Brother, why don't we just go back?"
"Sister, although the situation of the Yao Race is much better now than before, it is still not stable enough. The threats from the Witch Race and Immortal Court remain, and we cannot leave yet. Moreover, after joining the Yao Race, our Cultivate speed has significantly increased. If it weren't for the blessing of the Yao Race's Luck, how could we two have Breakthrough to Quasi-Saint so quickly?
Now, it's impossible for me not to care about the affairs of the Yao Race."
At this time, both Fuxi and Nuwa had simultaneously Breakthrough to Quasi-Saint after the last great battle between the Witch and Demon Clans.
Because they were affected by the Witch and Demon battle, the evil corpse was cut out this time.
Moreover, in the past tens of thousands of years, the number of Grand Immortals in Primordial Land has dramatically increased, and Quasi-Saints have also begun to appear successively.
As the two were arguing, Emperor Jun also arrived at the Emperor Xi Palace in the Immortal Court.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi."
Fuxi and Nuwa stopped arguing after sensing Emperor Jun's arrival.
As soon as Emperor Jun entered the Emperor Xi Palace, he saw the cold-faced Nuwa and the helpless Fuxi.
"Did I come at the wrong time? Or should I come again next time?"
"Demon Emperor, no need. Please speak your mind if there is anything."
"Big Brother, I have something else to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
Nuwa also understood that now was not the time to argue with Fuxi. With a cold face, she ignored Emperor Jun and left with a flick of her sleeve.
"This, Fellow Daoist Emperor Jun, I apologize. My sister has been spoiled by me. Please forgive her."
"No matter." Although Emperor Jun was also a little dissatisfied with Nuwa's attitude just now, he did not show it on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, please take a seat. What brings you here?" Fuxi waved his hand, inviting Emperor Jun to sit down.
Emperor Jun did not directly state his purpose but took out the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll.
"Fellow Daoist, please look."
Fuxi looked at Emperor Jun with confusion.
"Fellow Daoist, isn't this your River Diagram and Luo River Scroll? Has something gone wrong with it?"
After speaking, Fuxi looked at Emperor Jun anxiously, fearing that it was indeed as he thought.
The River Diagram and Luo River Scroll were not only Emperor Jun's accompanying Spirit Treasure but also the Luck Spirit Treasure of the Immortal Court and the Yao Race. If something went wrong with the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll, it would be a disaster for both the Immortal Court and the Yao Race.
That is why Fuxi was so nervous and anxious when he saw Emperor Jun take out the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll.
"Something has gone wrong with the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll, but it should be a good thing. Fellow Daoist, are you willing to enter it with me?"
"Good."
Emperor Jun led Fuxi into the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll. Inside, the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll resembled the Primordial Starry Sky, with each star having its own trajectory.
And Fuxi also discovered the profound mystery within it.
"This is a Great Formation?" Fuxi muttered, a little unsure of himself.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist. Your strength in Formation Dao is indeed terrifying; you saw the hidden mystery here at a glance."
"I'm just guessing, Demon Emperor. Have you comprehended this Great Formation? I feel that this Great Formation can change the situation of Primordial Land."
Emperor Jun sighed and shook his head, "Alas, no. For tens of thousands of years, no matter how I comprehended and observed, I couldn't fully master this Great Formation. I came this time hoping that Fellow Daoist could help me deduce it together."
Fuxi nodded after hearing Emperor Jun's words.
"This matter is of great importance to our Yao Race; I will definitely give my full support."
The two deduced together within the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll, and finally, after one hundred thousand years, they deduced it: "Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation, I never thought there would be such a powerful Great Formation in Primordial Land."
Fuxi looked at the Formation diagram before him and said excitedly,
"Demon Emperor, if our Yao Race masters this Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation, then the wish to unify Primordial Land might be realized."
Emperor Jun was also very excited at this time.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, let's go. This good news should be told to Taiyi and Baize."
Inside Lingxiao Palace.
"Big Brother, you've been staying with Fellow Daoist Fuxi for tens of thousands of years, secretly researching the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll. Now you've suddenly called us all over. Has there been any progress?" Taiyi had barely seen Emperor Jun in the past thirty thousand years, only knowing that Emperor Jun had been researching the River Diagram and Luo River Scroll with Fuxi.
Baize and the others also looked at Emperor Jun curiously.
"Is Xihe not coming?" Emperor Jun frowned, looking at the empty seat beside him.
"Alas, little sister has gone back to her Immortal Cave to Cultivate in seclusion. No need to wait for her." Fuxi sighed.
"Alright then, we won't wait for Xihe."
"Everyone, see for yourselves."
Emperor Jun transmitted the information of the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation to Taiyi and the ten Demon Saints.
"There's actually such a Formation! If our Yao Race masters this Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation, will we still fear the Witch Race?"
"Indeed, if we had mastered the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation last time, would we have let those barbarians from the Witch Race escape?"
After learning about the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation, everyone seemed to already envision the Yao Race unifying Primordial Land.
"Quiet! This matter cannot be widely publicized. After returning, everyone should begin practicing according to the positions of the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation. Next time, we will give the Witch Race a surprise."
"Good! This time, we must let the Witch Race know the strength of our Yao Race."
Within the Immortal Court palace in Zifu Continent, East Sea of Honghuang World, precious light circulated and auspicious clouds lingered, yet they could not conceal the oppressive and solemn atmosphere within the hall.
Eastern King Duke stood with his hands behind his back, his aura surging around him, and his handsome face was full of rage.
"Hmph, the damned Yao Race is going too far!!!" Eastern King Duke suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a jade cup on the table in the hall shattered in response.
"And West Queen Mother isn't anything good either; she and I were both appointed as the leaders of the Immortals by Hongjun Saint, yet she refused my numerous invitations." His words were full of anger and unwillingness.
"None of them are good!" The last sentence was almost squeezed through his teeth.
Eastern King Duke paced back and forth in the palace, his thoughts involuntarily returning to the past.
That war between the Witch and Demon Clans did not make the Witch and Demon Clans.
Instead, it made Hongjun, the Honghuang Saint.
In today's Honghuang, no one doesn't know that Hongjun is the strongest.
And the Immortal Court was precisely the force established by the leader of the male Immortals appointed by Hongjun.
At that time, Eastern King Duke, relying on Hongjun's golden signboard, widely recruited talented individuals.
Especially after Hongjun shattered Pangu's phantom with a single finger in the Heavenly Court last time, many Purple Cloud Guests came admiringly and chose to join the Immortal Court.
The Immortal Court's strength also developed greatly as a result; although it still couldn't contend with the Witch and Demon Clans, it had already become a major force not to be underestimated in Honghuang.
Eastern King Duke himself also successfully Broke Through to the Quasi-Saint Realm with the blessing of the Immortal Court's Luck.
However, the rise of the Immortal Court naturally attracted the attention of the Yao Race.
As one of the two top forces in Honghuang, the Yao Race had many ways to target the Immortal Court.
In recent years, under the Yao Race's deliberate targeting, the Immortal Court's development became increasingly difficult and restricted everywhere, which was precisely the reason for Eastern King Duke's current rage.
Actually, Eastern King Duke was not without ideas to solve the predicament.
The first thing he thought of was West Queen Mother, the leader of the female Immortals, who was also the leader of the Immortals.
After Eastern King Duke left Zixiao Palace, he went around recruiting troops and expanding his strength, eventually establishing the Immortal Court;
However, after West Queen Mother obtained the title of leader of the female Immortals, she became increasingly low-key.
She returned to her Daoist temple in Kunlun Mountain to Cultivate in seclusion, almost never interacting with Honghuang forces, as if she had completely forgotten her identity as the leader of the female Immortals.
Despite this, West Queen Mother still managed to attract the allegiance of some female Immortals with this title, but that small force was truly minuscule in the vast Honghuang World.
Eastern King Duke hoped to win over West Queen Mother and use her prestige as the leader of the female Immortals to recruit more Honghuang beings and strengthen the Immortal Court's power.
But every time he invited her, West Queen Mother would decline with various excuses.
After many times, Eastern King Duke understood that those were all just pretexts, and West Queen Mother had no intention of joining the Immortal Court at all.
"Once I unify Honghuang, I will definitely make all those who looked down on me regret it." Eastern King Duke vented his anger, his gaze coldly sweeping over the crowd below, "Everyone, tell me, how should our Immortal Court Break Through this situation now?"
The palace was silent, and everyone looked at each other, no one daring to speak first.
They had tried various methods before, but in the face of the powerful strength of the Witch and Demon Clans, all their efforts were like an ant trying to shake a tree, completely useless.
Facing Eastern King Duke's inquiry, everyone was filled with helplessness, because they truly couldn't think of any other effective methods.
"What, why is everyone silent?" Eastern King Duke's tone clearly turned cold, full of chill.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they dared not speak even more, fearing that a single misstep would anger Eastern King Duke, who was in a fit of rage.
"A bunch of useless people!!" Eastern King Duke roared, then turned his gaze to Qing Tong Jun in the back of the palace, "Qing Tong Jun, what are your thoughts?"
Qing Tong Jun secretly sighed in his heart; he knew he couldn't avoid it.
As Eastern King Duke's confidant, he had chosen to follow him long before Eastern King Duke became the leader of the male Immortals.
Now, Qing Tong Jun's strength had also reached Great Luo Perfection, and in the Immortal Court, his status was second only to Eastern King Duke.
"Emperor, the disparity in strength between our two sides is too great. The reason the Yao Race hasn't launched a large-scale attack on us now is only because they fear Hongjun Saint; the Yao Race's strength is much greater than ours." Qing Tong Jun slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of worry.
Eastern King Duke frowned, impatiently interrupting, "Don't speak nonsense, say something useful."
Qing Tong Jun's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Although it is difficult for our Immortal Court's own strength to deal with the Yao Race, we should know one thing: what is truly dealing with us now, rather than the Yao Race, is the Heavenly Court led by Emperor Jun."
Eastern King Duke slightly frowned, wondering, "What's the difference between Heavenly Court and the Yao Race?"
Qing Tong Jun shook his head and explained, "Emperor, that's very different.
The Heavenly Court is a part of the Yao Race, but the Yao Race cannot be completely equated with the Heavenly Court.
The Yao Race appears vast and unified, but in reality, it is not a solid block.
Although most of the myriad races in Honghuang joined the Yao Race, many of them chose to submit at that time only because they feared the strength of the Witch Clan, and because the Yao Race's Luck was strong.
But in reality, many races only obey orders but do not follow commands, and are not completely controlled by the Heavenly Court."
After hearing this, Eastern King Duke still shook his head and said, "But even if it's just the Heavenly Court, it's still a big problem for us. The Four Emperors in the Heavenly Court are all Quasi-Saints, and our Immortal Court currently only has me, one Quasi-Saint."
"Emperor, our Immortal Court's strength is not enough, but we can form an alliance with other forces to jointly contend against the Heavenly Court." Qing Tong Jun said with firm eyes.
Eastern King Duke nodded slightly after hearing this, and asked, "Then which forces can we seek an alliance with?"
"Emperor, according to my investigation, there are two forces in Honghuang that are currently strong enough and capable of forming an alliance with us." Qing Tong Jun said methodically.
"The first is the Northern Underworld Palace established by Kunpeng of the Northern Underworld. Kunpeng had already formed Karma with Emperor Jun and Taiyi of the Heavenly Court during Hongjun's first sermon.
Even though Kunpeng has joined the Yao Race now, he has always been very dissatisfied with Emperor Jun and Taiyi.
Especially after Kunpeng Broke Through to the Quasi-Saint Realm, this dissatisfaction became even stronger. Kunpeng's Northern Underworld Palace is a force not to be underestimated, and it is the first force we can win over."
"And the second force is the Dragon Clan in our East Sea." Qing Tong Jun continued.
"Dragon Clan??" Eastern King Duke frowned slightly, showing a suspicious look, "The Dragon Clan is now burdened with monstrous Karma; they have hardly left the East Sea Dragon Palace these years, and do they still have the strength to form an alliance with us?"
Qing Tong Jun smiled and explained, "Emperor, you must not underestimate the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan used to be one of the strongest forces in Honghuang.
And I know that at this time, Zhulong, the younger brother of the Dragon Clan's Ancestral Dragon, has not yet perished. He had already Broke Through to the Quasi-Saint Realm as early as the Three Clans period, and the number of Great Luo powerhouses within the Dragon Clan is also considerable.
The main reason they are so low-key now is because the Dragon Clan is burdened with Karma.
And I heard that the Heavenly Court has also been trying to win over the Dragon Clan these years, but the Dragon Clan has not accepted.
The Dragon Clan's refusal to be won over by the Heavenly Court has already offended the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, many clansmen within the Dragon Clan are quite dissatisfied with the current situation and seem to be seeking change.
I believe that there is a good chance for our two sides to reach cooperation."
Eastern King Duke pondered for a moment, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, and finally said firmly, "Good, the matter of the Dragon Clan will be left to you, and I will personally go to Northern Underworld Kunpeng's side."
Within Zifu Continent, Eastern King Duke was about to make a move when Qing Tong Jun hastily stopped him, saying, "Emperor, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Besides these two factions, we can also try to win over those Innate Sacreds in the Prehistoric World who have broken through to the Quasi-Saint Realm. Perhaps they can add powerful assistance to our Immortal Court."
Eastern King Duke frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of disdain: "Impossible. Those fellows are too self-important, looking down on everyone else. How could they condescend to join my Immortal Court?"
Qing Tong Jun's eyes flickered. After a moment of thought, he said, "Emperor, if you could make a sacrifice, like Emperor Jun of the Yao Race, and share the Immortal Court's Luck with them, it might move them."
Eastern King Duke still shook his head upon hearing this, but a trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes: "That might be worth a try. However, do you have any targets in mind for us to win over?"
Qing Tong Jun's expression brightened. He said, "Emperor, I heard that Nether River from the Sea of Blood came to the Eastern Sea a thousand years ago. I think we can try to win Nether River over to the Immortal Court. He is very powerful. If he joins, our Immortal Court's strength will surely increase greatly."
"Nether River? He is Brother Tai Chu's Senior Brother. Tai Chu had a conflict with me before, so I'm afraid Nether River won't join our Immortal Court."
Eastern King Duke pondered for a moment before shaking his head, remembering how Tai Chu made him feel pain all over his body even now.
Qing Tong Jun, however, was unfazed and continued to persuade him: "Emperor, your conflict with Fellow Daoist Tai Chu isn't actually that significant. Moreover, the Sea of Blood, where Nether River and his Senior Brother reside, is the most defiled place in the Prehistoric World, while our Zifu Continent is a top-tier blessed land in the Prehistoric World, rich in Spiritual Qi.
If we also invite him with two positions as Emperor, promising him supreme honor and power, Nether River might not be unmoved.
Furthermore, I heard that Nether River and Brother Tai Chu have an extremely close relationship. As long as we win over Nether River, Fellow Daoist Tai Chu might also join.
As long as we win over these two Senior Brothers to our Immortal Court, then we won't have to fear the Heavenly Court anymore."
Eastern King Duke pondered for a long time: "Alright, then let us together invite Fellow Daoist Nether River to Zifu Continent for a gathering. I hope we can persuade him."
Qing Tong Jun nodded in agreement. Afterward, everyone in the hall left Zifu Continent together and headed towards the Eastern Sea.
At this moment, Nether River stood above the Eastern Sea, his cold eyes fixed on the surging seawater below, muttering to himself: "Tai Chu said before that there were two immortal mountains in the Eastern Sea no less significant than Mount Penglai that he brought back, but I have searched the Eastern Sea for so many years and haven't found them. Could it be that these two immortal islands are not destined for me?"
Just as Nether River was deep in thought, his heart suddenly stirred, sensing over a dozen auras appearing not far away.
He frowned tightly, his Divine Sense sweeping over them. He discovered that among those auras, the weakest had the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, and there was even a Quasi-Saint powerhouse among them.
Nether River's heart was vigilant. He formed hand seals, and instantly, the Abi Sword and Yuan Tu Sword appeared beside him, their blades emitting a faint, sinister aura. He stood ready, his gaze like an eagle's, fixed on the direction from which the auras came.
Before long, Eastern King Duke appeared not far from Nether River, accompanied by over a dozen Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
Eastern King Duke held his head high, his eyes revealing a hint of pride. This time, he had brought out the Immortal Court's strongest Grand Unity Golden Immortals to fully display the Immortal Court's strength before Nether River and increase his bargaining chips for winning him over.
Eastern King Duke said with a forced smile, "Fellow Daoist Nether River, since you've come to my Eastern Sea, why didn't you give me a heads-up? I could have made some preparations and fulfilled my duties as host."
Nether River looked at the group of Grand Unity Golden Immortals before him, secretly shaking his head.
He pondered: "Alas, this Immortal Court is now a major power, but it's still too late. Eastern King Duke, the head of the male immortals, is already a thorn in the side of the Yao Race. And this Eastern King Duke is still so high-profile, acting in such a way. I'm afraid the stronger this Immortal Court becomes, the faster it will perish."
However, none of this concerned him. He did not want to get involved in the struggle between Eastern King Duke and Emperor Jun and the others.
Nether River responded indifferently, "This poor Daoist is merely passing through the Eastern Sea and has no urgent business, so I didn't come to disturb Fellow Daoist."
Eastern King Duke, however, was persistent: "Fellow Daoist Nether River, you are mistaken. Since you've come to the Eastern Sea, as the host, I must fulfill my duties. I have already prepared a lavish banquet in Zifu Continent, and I ask Fellow Daoist to grace us with your presence."
Nether River's expression was cold, and he directly refused: "No need. This poor Daoist still has matters to attend to, so I won't be going."
Eastern King Duke still wouldn't give up: "Fellow Daoist, what matter do you need to attend to? If this poor Daoist can help, please speak freely. My Immortal Court will surely assist with all its might."
A trace of impatience flashed in Nether River's eyes, and his tone turned cold: "No need. If Fellow Daoist has no other matters, I will take my leave now." With that, he turned directly, ignoring Eastern King Duke and the others, and prepared to depart.
Eastern King Duke's Face instantly stiffened. He never expected Nether River to completely disregard his Face.
Anger surged in his heart, and he almost wanted to flick his sleeves and leave directly.
Fortunately, Qing Tong Jun stopped him with a look in time, allowing him to barely suppress the anger in his heart.
Eastern King Duke stopped Nether River again, trying his best to make his tone gentle: "Fellow Daoist Nether River, since Fellow Daoist has matters to attend to, I will speak frankly. This poor Daoist was personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the head of the male immortals, and we both listened to the Dao together in Zixiao Palace, so we can be considered Senior Brothers, can't we?
How about Fellow Daoist, are you willing to join my Immortal Court? As long as Fellow Daoist is willing to join my Immortal Court, I can let Fellow Daoist become an Emperor of my Immortal Court, with a status no less than mine, and together we will govern the Immortal Court. What do you say?"
Upon hearing Eastern King Duke's invitation, Nether River refused without even thinking: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for thinking so highly of this poor Daoist. However, this poor Daoist is accustomed to being a free and unfettered wanderer, and I have no intention of joining any power. I hope Fellow Daoist will not mention this matter again."
The Grand Unity Golden Immortals beside Eastern King Duke were instantly furious upon hearing Nether River's words. One of them jumped out and loudly reprimanded, "Nether River, the Emperor thinks so highly of you, don't be ungrateful!"
Nether River narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing within them, and sneered, "Eastern King Duke, is this the hospitality of your Immortal Court? So rude!" As soon as he finished speaking, the abi sword in his hand instantly flew out, like a black lightning bolt, heading straight for the Grand Unity Golden Immortal who had just spoken.
"Ah!!!" Before that Grand Unity Golden Immortal could react, his body was directly cut in half by the abi sword. Blood splattered onto the Eastern Sea, staining a patch of seawater red.
Eastern King Duke looked at his subordinate, who had been cut in half, his Face full of anger. Just as he was about to speak, Qing Tong Jun hastily stopped him.
Qing Tong Jun quickly smiled apologetically: "Fellow Daoist Nether River, please forgive us. That fellow just now might have had some Cultivation problems and was talking nonsense. We are sincerely inviting you, and we hope Fellow Daoist will not take offense."
Nether River snorted coldly: "Hmph! This Nether River is not worthy of joining Fellow Daoist's Immortal Court. Our Dao are different, so we cannot conspire together. This poor Daoist takes his leave." With that, he no longer lingered, directly controlling his escape light, and disappeared into the vast Eastern Sea.
Eastern King Duke watched the direction Nether River left, his Face incredibly gloomy, as if water could drip from it.
Qing Tong Jun and the others beside him saw Eastern King Duke's current expression and dared not even breathe loudly, fearing they would provoke Eastern King Duke, who was in a fit of rage.
At this moment, no one noticed a wisp of black Qi flashing in the depths of Eastern King Duke's eyes.
After a long while, Eastern King Duke said coldly, "Qing Tong Jun, you go and deal with the Dragon Clan. I will go to Northern deep to try and win over Fellow Daoist Kunpeng."
With that, Eastern King Duke ignored everyone present and transformed into a rainbow light, disappearing from sight.
In the Honghuang Blood Sea, the Daoist temple of Taichu and Minghe now had earth-shattering changes.
The former Daoist temple had long since disappeared.
Over the years, Taichu had long since moved his Daoist temple into Mount Penglai.
Around Mount Penglai, nine interconnected great formations floated.
The Nine Revolutions Blood Spirit Purification Great Formation was also connected to the netherworld bodhi within Mount Penglai.
This Nine Revolutions Blood Spirit Purification Great Formation and the netherworld bodhi complemented each other, making it the Peak of Taichu's formation Dao.
The Nine Revolutions Blood Spirit Purification Great Formation would absorb the impurities from the Blood Sea into the great formation, and once the impurities entered the Nine Revolutions Blood Spirit Purification Great Formation, the great formation would instantly burst forth with dazzling golden light.
Crimson phantom figures emerged from the great formation, opening their massive mouths to greedily devour the blood waves. The runes on the chains shone brightly, their flickering light completely decomposing the impurities.
Under the mysterious operation of the great formation, these impurities first transformed into wisps of black mist, which were then refined into pure Spiritual Qi and the essence of the sun and moon.
These essences flowed along the patterns within the great formation, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, pouring into the island. This not only brought endless vitality to the island but also erected a shimmering barrier outside Mount Penglai, isolating it from the external impurities.
The essence of the sun and moon gathered in a lake within Mount Penglai.
This lake was formed by the convergence of three lights divine water.
The lake water shimmered with gold, silver, and purple, dazzling to behold.
On the surface of the lake, countless blood lotuses emitting spiritual light floated, each blood lotus containing powerful vitality.
Although these blood lotuses were not Innate Spiritual Root and were merely transformed from the great formation's Spiritual Qi, Taichu had meticulously nurtured them based on the Dao rhythm of the thirty-six-petal creation green lotus.
Therefore, even though they were not naturally formed, their effect after maturation was no weaker than the spiritual fruits produced by an ordinary Medium Grade Innate Spiritual Root.
In the center of the lake, nine massive blood jade lotus flowers slowly rotated, like guardians of some mysterious power. In their lotus hearts, they held a giant egg three zhang tall.
A portion of the Spiritual Qi and purification power from the Nine Revolutions Blood Spirit Purification Great Formation slowly infused into this giant egg.
Inside the egg, a faint but resilient aura slowly circulated like a swimming Dragon, each pulsation causing ripples to spread across the spiritual lake.
Around the lake was a new planting garden arranged by Taichu.
The garden was planted with Medium Grade and Low Grade Spiritual Root, while High Grade Spiritual Root and the two top-tier Innate Spiritual Root, the enlightenment tea tree and Yellow Central Plum, had long been moved by Taichu into the chaos pearl for planting.
At the very top of Mount Penglai, a majestic hall rose from the ground. Above the hall's entrance, the characters "Mixed Yuan Limitless Hall" were written with powerful strokes, as if containing endless Dao rhythm.
The hall's entrance was forged from the Fusion of Innate Chaos gold essence and the Origin of the Blood Sea. The door panels were carved with star charts of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, with each star inlaid with purified Blood Sea spirits, shimmering with an eerie yet sacred light.
Pushing open the hall's entrance, the internal space surprisingly formed a Minor Thousand Worlds of its own. Above the dome, the sun, moon, and stars slowly revolved, and the Milky Way cascading between the stars transformed into liquid Spiritual Qi, flowing along the channels within the hall, eventually converging into a small spiritual pool.
All four walls of the great hall were crafted from Innate Pure World Jade, with Dao patterns that purified all evil flowing across their surface. Whenever Blood Sea impurities were transformed into Spiritual Qi by the great formation, these Dao patterns would become a touch more enchanting.
This Daoist temple was the crystallization of Taichu's painstaking efforts over many years.
At this moment, inside the Hun Yuan Creation Hall, Taichu sat cross-legged at the very center, his eyes closed, and a mysterious and powerful aura emanating from his body.
Suddenly, as if sensing a special aura appearing in the Blood Sea, a hint of joy appeared on his usually calm face. He abruptly opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "Oh. He's back. It seems the time has come!"
Subsequently, Taichu stood up and went outside the hall, his gaze fixed on the distance.
Soon after, a figure streaked across the Void Realm and appeared beside Taichu. If any living being in Honghuang were to see this figure, they would surely recognize his identity—Wen Dao Ren.
Upon seeing Wen Dao Ren's return, Taichu smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect you to collect all the Great Dao Text of the Myriad Races of Honghuang so quickly."
Wen Dao Ren nodded slightly, then transformed into a ray of light and entered Taichu's body.
This Wen Dao Ren was quite famous in Honghuang, but his fame was not due to his powerful Grand Unity Golden Immortal strength, but rather his strange behavior.
Since his appearance in Honghuang, he disliked discussing the Dao with Great Almighty Ones and did not place much importance on the various Opportunities in Honghuang.
He merely wandered among the Myriad Races of Honghuang, communicating and exchanging ideas with various races, and often discussed their Legacy Text with them.
Since their birth, the Myriad Races of Honghuang have had their own unique Legacy Text. These patterns contain the secrets and powers of each race, and only members of that race can understand their mysteries.
Therefore, many beings did not understand why this Wen Dao Ren was so persistent in studying the Legacy Text of various races.
Before the establishment of the Yao Race, Emperor Jun personally invited Wen Dao Ren to join the Yao Race. With Emperor Jun's status and position, such an invitation was enough to make countless beings flock to him, yet Wen Dao Ren remained unmoved. Even with Emperor Jun's personal invitation, he did not choose to join the Yao Race.
Moreover, Wen Dao Ren rarely made a move in Honghuang, acting in a low-key and mysterious manner, making him unfathomable.
No one would have thought that this Wen Dao Ren actually had intricate connections with Taichu.
In fact, Wen Dao Ren was the Mosquito Daoist born from the Blood Sea.
After the Mosquito Daoist was controlled by Taichu using the Soul Dao and the Puppet Dao, he transformed into Wen Dao Ren and traveled throughout Honghuang, secretly collecting the Legacy Text of various races.
Now, Wen Dao Ren had already comprehended two thousand nine hundred and ninety-six Great Dao Text. These Great Dao Text encompassed the Myriad Races of Honghuang, containing endless mysteries.
However, to reach the three thousand Perfection mark, he still lacked the Great Dao Text contained within the Dragon Clan, Phoenix, and Qilin.
However, obtaining the Great Dao Text of these three races was not so simple.
The Legacy Text of the Dragon Clan, Phoenix, and Qilin were condensed by the three races onto three Legacy items.
Therefore, if Taichu wanted to comprehend the Legacy Text of the Dragon Clan, Phoenix, and Qilin, he had to obtain the Legacy items of the Dragon Clan, Phoenix, and Qilin.
The Legacy Text of the Dragon Clan was the dragon crest jade disc that Taichu had previously obtained from the Dragon Clan.
And Taichu had already thoroughly comprehended the Dragon Clan's dragon crest jade disc, which meant that Taichu now controlled two thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight Great Dao Text. He only needed the Great Dao Text of the Phoenix and Qilin to create a script suitable for all living beings in Honghuang.
At this moment, three treasures appeared in Taichu's hand.
Although these three treasures did not have an Innate aura, they contained a rich power of the Great Dao.
These three treasures were naturally the dragon crest jade disc that Taichu had previously obtained, and the Phoenix Jade and Qilin Stele that Wen Dao Ren had obtained through trade.
To obtain the Phoenix Jade of the Phoenix and the Qilin Stele of the Qilin, Wen Dao Ren had expended a massive amount of Taichu's Karma power.
However, if Taichu could truly create a script, then all his previous losses would be worth it.
Taichu first set aside the dragon crest jade disc. He had already comprehended the Great Dao Text of the Dragon Clan. Now, he needed to comprehend the Phoenix Jade and Qilin Stele that Wen Dao Ren had brought back.
