Chapter 137: The Demon Court Plots for the Primordial World
In the Thirty-Three Heavens, within the Sun Palace.
Di Jun and Taiyi gazed toward the direction of the Primordial World, their brows tightly locked.
Just a moment ago, a rumbling sound came from Mount Buzhou, and the mountain body had actually surged in height once again.
And within that heaven-toppling might, they vaguely sensed a somewhat familiar fluctuation.
"Demon Emperor, that stone man is far too bizarre; capturing a few members of the Wu Clan is enough to cause such anomalies in Mount Buzhou." Baize, standing below, wore a look of confusion.
In the past, Mount Buzhou had often trembled, but they never knew the specifics.
They only saw the might of Mount Buzhou surge greatly, the mountain body rising continuously, and along with it, the Primordial World also expanded quite a bit.
Because of the Demon Emperor's instructions, he had sent many people to investigate, but regarding the root cause of Mount Buzhou's anomalies, there was still no news.
But the current tremors of Mount Buzhou occurred right after Tian Yuan captured Zhu Jiuyin and the other Ancestral Witches.
Associating this with the fact that Tian Yuan had often captured members of the Wu Clan previously, Baize could not help but speculate that the changes in Mount Buzhou were related to the creatures being continuously captured.
Could it be that as long as one captures members of the Wu Clan and throws them into that space, it can cause the might of Mount Buzhou to surge, and incidentally, the stone man's cultivation also rises all the way? Thinking about it in his heart, Baize felt it was somewhat inconceivable.
He had once gone to Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the Dao; there are three thousand Great Daos, yet there is no such bizarre Cultivation Method.
Di Jun and Taiyi did not speak, because they were equally unclear.
This stone man appeared far too strangely, and it was also related to Mount Buzhou.
Up until now, they only knew that Tian Yuan had a very close relationship with Mount Buzhou, but as for his specific origins, they were unclear.
The greatest secret might lie within the space of Mount Buzhou, only they had not yet found a way to enter.
"The Demon Master has arrived." Di Jun raised his head, his gaze fixed toward the direction of the palace gate.
Kunpeng cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Two Demon Emperors, I saw that Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi disappeared on Mount Buzhou along with Tian Yuan. I hope the two Demon Emperors will assist me soon!"
Hongyun plus Zhenyuanzi were already difficult to deal with, and now that even Tian Yuan had intervened, Kunpeng was extremely worried.
The stone man on Mount Buzhou was not only powerful, but the key was that he was also very mysterious.
The unknown meant that there were more variables, and besides, they were currently in the midst of the Great Calamity.
The longer it dragged on, the more worried he became in his heart; after all, that Tian Yuan's cultivation progress was truly too fast.
"Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi went to that space?" Di Jun exclaimed, looking at Taiyi beside him.
After Tian Yuan's battle with the Ancestral Witches ended, they had left and did not see Hongyun and the other appear.
He did not know what was going on with that space on Mount Buzhou; the Demon Emperors and Ancestral Witches captured by Tian Yuan all turned to serve under him. Di Jun found it truly hard to imagine that anyone would voluntarily head there.
Once one is manipulated by Tian Yuan, no one knows what will happen.
"Brother's meaning is, could the growth of Mount Buzhou be related to Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi?" Taiyi understood in an instant, his face solemn.
Di Jun nodded, because Tian Yuan captured several Ancestral Witches and Mount Buzhou immediately had a reaction, so he guessed it was related to Zhu Jiuyin and the others who were captured.
But earlier, during the first great battle between the Witch and Demon Clans, Tian Yuan captured many from both clans, but at that time, Mount Buzhou did not seem to tremble immediately.
Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi were considered famous Innate Sacreds of the Primordial World, but they had nothing particularly outstanding about them.
It was only that Hongyun yielded his seat in Purple Heaven Palace, plus he obtained a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi, which made them known to everyone.
If the anomalies of Mount Buzhou were related to them, then those two were not simple at all.
Standing below, Kunpeng kept a dark face, his expression also very grave.
He also had this conjecture in his heart, which was why he came to seek the two Demon Emperors at the first opportunity.
That space on Mount Buzhou was too mysterious; not only did Tian Yuan's strength surge, but even that group of the Wu Clan all made rapid progress.
Kunpeng was very worried that Hongyun's strength would also skyrocket after entering that space.
With external resistance and his own cultivation not being weak, how could Kunpeng not be anxious?
Thinking of the matters in Purple Heaven Palace, a wave of anger rose in his heart.
If not for this guy, how could there be so many things, and he would not have been inexplicably drawn into the Great Calamity.
If things had gone well, relying on the merit of creating the Demon Script, he might have already comprehended the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Thinking in his heart, Kunpeng hated the fool Hongyun all the more, and could not help but cup his hands and say, "I hope the two Demon Emperors will assist!"
In the current situation, if the Demon Emperors did not take action, it would be impossible for him to snatch the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
It would be one thing if the strength of Sanqing and the others surged, but even the Wu Clan members were all improving their cultivation; he had to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, this Foundation of Sainthood. Kunpeng was very anxious.
Di Jun walked down from the throne and said in a deep voice, "The Demon Master's matter is the Demon Court's matter; I am aware of it, but now that Hongyun has stepped onto Mount Buzhou, we are also helpless."
Powerful Ancestral Witches were swept away with a casual wave; now, I fear no one dares to easily step onto Mount Buzhou.
If that stone man were to disregard martial virtue and communicate with Mount Buzhou to suppress them, even if they luckily escaped, they would certainly be in a wretched state.
Kunpeng naturally knew this, but how could he be reconciled? Besides, Eastern Emperor Taiyi held the Chaos Bell.
With an Innate Supreme Treasure, Kunpeng did not believe the two Demon Emperors had no way.
Seeing that Kunpeng was about to speak again, Di Jun said gently, "Demon Master, now that the Wu Clan has retreated to the Pangu Temple, it is the critical moment for us to govern the Primordial World; this is of the utmost importance."
After speaking, Di Jun continued, "Moreover, if we control the Primordial World, we can also know of Hongyun's whereabouts at the first opportunity, which will also facilitate the Demon Master's actions."
Although he looked down on that Hongyun, the other party was, after all, an Innate Sacred.
The Primordial World is so vast; if the other party does not deliberately reveal his tracks, how could ordinary people easily find him?
Listening, a flash of helplessness appeared in Kunpeng's eyes. What Di Jun said was indeed reasonable. "If the Demon Emperor has any commands, I will obey!" He cupped his hands and responded softly.
How could Kunpeng not understand the meaning in Di Jun's words? Now, it was simply impossible for him to stay out of it.
Once one enters the Great Calamity, many things are beyond one's control.
Di Jun's face showed joy, and he said solemnly, "The Demon Master is righteous. Then, the matter of the Primordial World shall be left to the Demon Master to take charge of; shortly, Demon Saints will arrive to take orders!"
After speaking, he gave a slight instruction to Baize at his side.
The other party did not linger, cupped his hands, and quickly retreated.
Seeing this, Kunpeng also cupped his hands and took his leave of the two Demon Emperors.
Kunpeng knew very well that if he did not show something, Di Jun and Taiyi would certainly not help him easily.
Helping him seize back the Hongmeng Purple Qi—this kind of karma is not small.
Once Kunpeng had left, Taiyi said gloomily, "Brother, the affairs of the Eastern Land are of great importance; should we just leave them to Kunpeng?"
The Wu Clan has retreated, and the affairs of the Eastern Land concern the luck of the Demon Court; this is no small matter.
A large part of the reason their cultivation of the Law of Dao is so fast is because of the luck shrouding the Demon Court.
The more luck gathered in the Demon Court, the faster they cultivate. In the future, they can also rely on Heaven and Earth Luck to take the final step; this is another reason they disdain the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
During the Dragon Han First Tribulation in the past, Hongjun had not yet preached, but Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Shiqilin all relied on luck to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Now that they have gathered the luck of the entire Primordial world, they should be able to become Saints on their own; this is their confidence as Demon Emperors.
They previously regarded the Wu Clan as the great enemy of the Demon Court precisely because the other side dominated the Eastern Land and possessed Heaven and Earth Luck.
Although Kunpeng's cultivation is not weak, he only thinks of the Hongmeng Purple Qi; his earlier entry into the Demon Court was also due to them using power to pressure him.
For such a major matter, Taiyi is somewhat uneasy about leaving it solely to Kunpeng.
Even if they are not overseeing it personally, it should be the responsibility of the Demon Saint Baize.
Di Jun looked toward the Eastern Land and said in a deep voice, "I am worried that that stone man will act recklessly."
During the first battle between the Witch and Demon, Tian Yuan captured many of the Demon Court's Demons. If the Demon Court pours into the Eastern Land, there is no guarantee the stone man won't take action.
Taiyi's face darkened, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
Aside from the matter of Fuxi, the conflict between the Demon Court and Tian Yuan was limited to that battle where Chitie and others were captured; there has been no other interaction.
Could it be that Tian Yuan has not sought trouble with the Demon Court simply because the Demon Court is in the Primordial Starry Sky?
This thought flashing through his mind left Taiyi somewhat puzzled.
The Ancestral Witches do not know the mandate of heaven, and the Wu Clan ravages the Eastern Land, but their Demon Court has not acted this way; why would Tian Yuan need to target them?
Taiyi is not sure, but his brother's worry is not without reason.
Put this way, sending Kunpeng is fine; firstly, to test Tian Yuan's attitude, and secondly, to bind Kunpeng firmly to the Demon Court.
"Since Brother has made arrangements, then I, Taiyi, will go to the Sun Star to see my nephews." Taiyi nodded and said no more; the affairs of the Demon Court are for his brother to handle.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Xihe gave birth to the ten Dajinwu; nowadays, aside from quiet cultivation, Taiyi spends his time guiding his nephews' cultivation.
Hearing Taiyi's words, Di Jun's face also brimmed with a smile.
Although the ten Dajinwu did not inherit their brothers' Great Sun Golden Flame, under the fusion of his and Xihe's Lunar Qi, they were born with Sun True Fire.
The Sun True Fire is slightly weaker than the Great Sun Golden Flame, but it is very suitable for cultivation on the Sun Star.
That an Acquired Spirit Creature could possess such talent is something both Di Jun and Taiyi are very satisfied with.
Taiyi headed toward the Sun Star, and Di Jun also strode out of the great hall.
Before long, Demon clouds rolled across the Thirty-Three Heavens, and many Demon Saints, accompanied by a multitude of Demons, descended toward the Eastern Land.
The Demons of the Demon Court originally belonged to the myriad races of the Primordial world; many only fled to the Primordial Starry Sky because they were forced to avoid the Wu Clan.
Now that the Wu Clan has retreated, the fact that they can return to the Eastern Land naturally excites many Demons.
Amidst the monstrous demonic aura, dense figures fled toward various parts of the Eastern Land.
Kunpeng stood in the firmament, watching the departing Demon Saints, his gaze sweeping toward the direction of Mount Buzhou.
"I hope that fellow Hongyun appears as soon as possible!" Withdrawing his gaze, his figure streaked toward Mount Buzhou.
The Demon Court is in its prime; once the Wu Clan retreats, who else can stop them?
The so-called occupation of the Eastern Land is merely sending the generals of the Demon Court to occupy various immortal mountains and caves, while incidentally subduing the creatures remaining on the Eastern Land.
For these matters, one only needs to instruct the Demon Saints; there is no need for him to act personally.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi on Hongyun is the thing he cannot stop thinking about.
On Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan watched the thick Demon clouds in the sky, his expression indifferent.
"The Demon Court has indeed begun to act; I cannot fall behind!" Tian Yuan muttered softly while rubbing his chin.
The Wu Clan has already cleared and purified one Main Vein, but the Main Vein occupied by the Demon Race has not even had one-tenth completed.
At this speed, one can only rely on the advantage of numbers.
Since the Ancestral Witches will not leave the Pangu Temple, the next targets are to capture the Demon Emperors and Demon Saints.
This is not only to clear the Earth Veins but also to prepare for the Primordial Starry Sky.
