Di Jun's Scheme

The method of reaching Quasi-Sage had become the hope of these two.

They even thought that after the sermon, they would use the merit they had previously obtained to become Quasi-Sages.

Thinking that aside from the Sages and Nuwa, the emergence of the first Quasi-Sage would further elevate the prestige of their Demon Race.

"If we can become Quasi-Sages, our Demon Race will surely usher in a rise, and at that time, it will be the moment to expand into the Primordial World."

As for now, they dared not do so. Not for any other reason, but simply because the issue of combat strength was a major obstacle preventing their expansion.

To say nothing else, their current Great Luo combat strength was actually quite limited. Compared to the twelve Ancestor Witches of the Witch Clan, it was simply incomparable.

The two flew through the starry sky, figures constantly appearing around them.

After looking around at these figures, Eastern Emperor Taiyi couldn't help but speak.

"These fellows hide too deeply. We've searched for so long and still can't find them."

Di Jun looked at the immortals around him and nodded with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Almost everyone who had been in the Purple Cloud Palace was within the scope of Di Jun's recruitment efforts.

But upon reflection, he realized this matter was not as simple as he had thought.

Not to mention anything else, those guests of the Purple Cloud Palace were all hiding in who knows where.

Searching the entire Primordial World for them was also somewhat troublesome.

And the Witch Clan seemed to know of these beings' existence, yet they did not actively harass them.

This made Di Jun even more irritable.

"Why are these Witch Clan so lucky? They expand their territory so rapidly, yet they haven't disturbed these fellows."

After he spoke, Eastern Emperor beside him was also curious.

"Yes, why is it that they expand their territory so swiftly, yet haven't disturbed these guests of the Purple Cloud Palace?"

The Great Luos who had now joined their Demon Race, such as Bai Ze, had only done so because they saw the Demon Race's current predicament was unfavorable.

In truth, their own disciples had not been disturbed.

That was where the curiosity lay.

As they traveled, Eastern Emperor Taiyi thought of two people.

"Elder Brother, what do you think of Fuxi and Nuwa?"

Di Jun paused slightly, then looked at the starry sky before him, continuing on his way without stopping as he spoke.

"I have also taken note of these two. They must be at Nuwa's master's sect, but we cannot easily provoke them, especially this Nuwa."

"Nuwa's master is someone even the Sages dare not provoke. Such a dangerous person will not be easy to recruit."

"Nuwa also has a conflict with the Sage. That day, the Sage lost face, and this karmic debt will not be easily resolved by the Sage."

"If that's the case, this will surely become another great battle in the future. So for now, we need to watch these two from the sidelines."

"If we bring them into our Demon Race, we might offend the Sage. Then, if we become enemies with a Sage, and Nuwa's master doesn't step in, we will be the ones to suffer."

Upon hearing this, Eastern Emperor nodded. Fortunately, he had asked in advance; otherwise, given his nature, he would have certainly tried to recruit them.

"Then how should the Demon Race develop in the future?"

Di Jun glanced back at the Primordial World, his gaze seemingly already fixed on a target.

He turned back and spoke directly.

"After this sermon, once we break through, first, we will gather the living beings of the Primordial World. Second..."

"As for the Dragon Race, though they have declined since the Three Races of the Primordial Era, if they are absorbed into the Demon Race, our Demon Race's fortune should rise again."

"Even if we just use them as mounts, they are still serviceable."

The Dragon Race had been in decline ever since the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation.

A once-prosperous race, because of that great tribulation of the world, every Dragon born was burdened with karma.

This karma hindered the speed of the Dragon Race's cultivation.

Over time, the Dragon Race was destined to fade away.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi held great disdain for the Dragon Race, but the idea of using them as mounts made things much better.

Though he looked down on the Dragon Race, using them as mounts was still acceptable.

Then, looking at the situation before him, he couldn't help but speak.

"Elder Brother is indeed resourceful. Though the Dragon Race is weak, they are more than adequate as mounts."

After speaking, he looked into the depths of the starry sky, and Di Jun nodded as well.

"This trip to the Purple Cloud Palace is partly to listen to the sermon, but Taiyi, you must also continue to befriend the Great Powers from the Purple Cloud Palace. If there is an opportunity, we can add considerable combat strength to the Demon Race."

As the two flew, they completely ignored Bai Ze behind them.

Bai Ze was like a transparent person at this point, having followed them from the start.

And he continued to follow them even now.

Listening to their conversation, he nodded inwardly.

Joining the Demon Race—saying it was for all living beings under heaven was a bit much.

It was merely for the Demon Race's fortune.

Looking at the current situation, the two emperors of the Demon Race—though Eastern Emperor Taiyi was not particularly shrewd and came off a bit simple-minded—

could still be managed by Di Jun. Moreover, with the supreme treasure Eastern Emperor Bell in hand, his combat prowess was top-tier.

As for Di Jun, his strength was also at the peak, and his strategic mind was no less impressive.

Over the past thousand years of the Demon Race's development, Di Jun had not rushed into the struggles of the Primordial World.

Instead, he continuously absorbed more demons, all to observe the Witch Clan oppressing all beings. If this oppression reached a tipping point, stirring widespread outrage among the Primordial World's creatures, the Witch Clan would become the common enemy of the entire realm.

This approach not only boosted the Demon Race's strength and fortune but also subtly brought some karmic sin upon the Witch Clan.

"Your Majesties, I still have some old friends in the Primordial World. This time at the Purple Cloud Palace, allow me to recruit them into the Demon Race."

The two, who had been flying, were startled. Turning around, they realized Bai Ze had been following them all along.

They then looked back at Bai Ze behind them, their minds settling.

"Bai Ze, we trouble you with this. Rest assured, you are a great contributor to the Demon Race. In the days to come, we will not fail to repay your efforts for the Demon Race and the Heavenly Court."

Bai Ze nodded, and the three of them proceeded together into the Chaos.

Upon arriving at the Purple Cloud Palace, they saw that the area outside was already crowded with people.

But the two were somewhat curious. After looking around, it seemed someone was missing.

Finally, Eastern Emperor couldn't help but ask.

"How strange—Nuwa and Fuxi haven't come. Could they have been delayed by something?"

Di Jun sat there observing, also wondering what trick Nuwa might pull this time. Only now did he realize she hadn't even shown up?

"No matter. Let's not focus on them. There are important matters to attend to."

With that, he walked toward the many guests gathered before the Purple Cloud Palace.

Their main task this time was to recruit the cultivators at the Purple Cloud Palace.
