Purple Firmament Palace Distributes Treasures, Duke of the East Establishes Immortal Court

After distributing the Grandmist Purple Qi, Hongjun felt relieved.

He looked at Taiqing and Yuqing, then with a wave of his hand, two supreme treasures landed in their hands respectively.

In Taiqing's hand was the Taiji Diagram, with its black and white colors, representing Yin and Yang, infinitely profound and endlessly creative. It could dissolve all attacks, ignore any defense, and absorb other supreme treasures, possessing immense power. It was formed from a fragment of the Pangu Axe.

In Yuqing's hand was the Pangu Banner, which held the power of chaos, the ability to shatter all heavens and time, the path to endless creation, the mastery of all laws and profound mysteries, and the power to open up heaven and earth. It was a supreme treasure for controlling the power of heaven and earth, for attack and creation, also formed from a fragment of the Pangu Axe.

Taiqing and Yuqing were overjoyed and quickly bowed in thanks.

"We thank Master!"

Just as Dijun, Taiyi, Jie Yin, and Zhun Ti were watching with gleaming eyes, eagerly anticipating.

Hongjun shook his head and sighed.

Looking at the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram in his hands, as well as the Red Embroidered Ball and the Merit Golden Lotus, he felt a hidden sadness!

Suddenly!

Chi Yu, who had returned to Floating Pagoda Island, returned with a smirk.

However, he did not reveal himself directly, but sent a telepathic message to Hongjun.

"Hongjun, your Immortal Slaughtering Swords, Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, Red Embroidered Ball, and Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus have no karmic ties with others, so hand them over to me!"

Without giving Hongjun time to consider, he waved his hand, and the four treasures disappeared from Hongjun's hands, falling into Chi Yu's pocket.

Hongjun was stunned, then he nodded helplessly.

"Yes!"

Actually, Chi Yu had wanted to directly take away that half piece of the Creation Jade Disc, but after thinking about it, with his current strength, that Jade Disc was no longer important, so he would leave it for him.

Chi Yu smiled slightly, then returned to Floating Pagoda Island.

Hongjun looked at the crowd and shook his head.

"Alright! All the treasures I have no use for are in that Treasure Distribution Cliff. You may go and claim them yourselves."

After speaking, Hongjun transformed into specks of light and disappeared from the high platform cushion.

"Respectfully seeing off the Dao Ancestor!"

Dijun, Taiyi, and the others were still in a state of confusion.

Haotian and Yaochi stepped forward!

"The Master has instructed us to take you all to that Treasure Distribution Cliff. Please follow me!"

Dijun, Taiyi, Jie Yin, and Zhun Ti, who had reacted, immediately stood up.

Upon arriving at the Treasure Distribution Cliff, the three thousand guests, like bandits, began to snatch things.

But it was useless; what was yours would belong to you, and what was not yours could not be forced.

After the commotion, the three thousand guests all obtained their own treasures and left the Treasure Distribution Cliff one after another.

Taiqing and Yuqing obtained the most, followed by Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

Dijun and Taiyi were picky, only taking what pleased them.

Yuqing, who left last, glanced at the empty Treasure Distribution Cliff, and with a wave of his large hand,

the Treasure Distribution Cliff transformed into the Treasure Distribution Rock and fell into Yuqing's hand.

He then nodded.

"Elder brother, let's go! We'll return to Kunlun!"

Taiqing nodded. Both of them had gained a lot this time, and they also had the foundation for becoming a saint, the Grandmist Purple Qi. Upon returning, they should refine it properly.

On the other side,

Hong Yun, playing with the treasures he had obtained from the Treasure Distribution Cliff, prepared to leave the Purple Firmament Palace without the slightest bit of vigilance.

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head helplessly, staring intently at the surroundings with an inexpressible look.

"Brother Zhen Yuanzi, let's return to your Five Villages Temple!"

Zhen Yuanzi nodded.

He actually had the same idea. The current Hong Yun was a sweet treat in the eyes of the other three thousand guests, possessing the Grandmist Purple Qi, the foundation for becoming a saint.

Worried that it might be snatched away halfway, Zhen Yuanzi was about to discuss with him not to return to Flame Cloud Cave for the time being, but to go to his Five Villages Temple first.

"Let's go!"

Hong Yun transformed into his true form, carrying Zhen Yuanzi, and flew rapidly towards the thirty-three heavens.

Not long after the two left, Kunpeng appeared.

Looking at the gradually receding Hong Yun, he gnashed his teeth.

"Hong Yun, I, Kunpeng, will not rest until I have my revenge on you. When I find an opportunity, your Grandmist Purple Qi will eventually fall into my hands. Just you wait!"

It is worth mentioning that after the third lecture ended, Hongjun did not mention a single word about establishing a court!

Duke of the East, who was supposed to establish the Immortal Court in Penglai after the second lecture, was now guided by some unseen force to a congenital treasure island.

He was immediately overjoyed and began to refine the great formation!

Thousands of years later, the great formation was finally broken. Inside, immortal energy was ethereal, divine light was like a mirror, and there were many treasures.

Duke of the East excitedly plundered everything!

At this moment, the gnashing-toothed Kunpeng happened to pass by.

He discovered Duke of the East, and then a thought struck him, giving him a plan to deal with Hong Yun and seize the Grandmist Purple Qi in Hong Yun's hand.

He then descended.

"Fellow Daoist Duke of the East, your luck is truly unparalleled, and your opportunities are quite profound!"

Duke of the East was startled!

"Who?"

He then turned around.

"Oh... so it's Fellow Daoist Kunpeng! A pleasure to meet you, a pleasure indeed!"

"Just a small bit of fortune, nothing worth mentioning! Nothing worth mentioning at all! Hahahaha..."

"Fellow Daoist Duke of the East, you are too modest!"

After a round of mutual flattery, Kunpeng began his first step of the plan.

"Fellow Daoist Duke of the East, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it!"

"Oh?"

"Fellow Daoist, feel free to speak!"

"As everyone knows, you, Duke of the East, were formed from the first ray of innate yang energy, a born emperor. But the ones who established the Heavenly Court are Dijun and Taiyi, which is very unfair to you!"

The Duke of the East thought for a moment, then let out a sigh!

Seeing that the Duke of the East seemed moved, Kunpeng continued:

"I see this treasure land is quite good. Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Duke of the East establish a court here? Since Dijun and Taiyi can establish the Heavenly Court, how could you, a born emperor, not be able to establish one?"

The Duke of the East was startled, his heart stirred!

Immediately after, he shook his head again.

"Alas... I am a solitary person, how can I establish one! Fellow Daoist, please don't mention it again, please don't mention it again!"

Seeing that there was a chance, Kunpeng began to speak freely, without any reservations.

After a round of flattery and smooth talk!

The Duke of the East rose up, his heart surging.

"Hmph, Fellow Daoist is absolutely right! Since Dijun and Taiyi can gather a group of demons to establish the Heavenly Court, I, Duke of the East, am no worse than them, and I can establish one."

The corner of Kunpeng's mouth curved slightly, and then he immediately bowed!

"Greetings, Immortal Emperor!"

The Duke of the East was startled, and then burst into laughter!

"Dispense with the formalities! Hahahaha..."

"Good! From this moment on, you are the chief of my Immortal Court, your status second only to this Immortal Emperor."

Kunpeng sneered inwardly! But the surface work still had to continue.

"Thank you, Immortal Emperor!"

Afterward, the two began to make arrangements.

It must be said that this matter was quite strange; indeed, quite a few innate divine beings came to Penglai and joined the Duke of the East's command.

The Primordial Era knows no years!

One day,

"Heavenly Dao above!"

"I, Duke of the East, seeing that the myriad immortals of the Primordial Era lack order, act without rules, and are quite unscrupulous, am willing to be the head of the immortals and govern them."

"Today, I specially establish a palace and court here on Penglai Immortal Island, named the Immortal Court. I shall be the Immortal Emperor, and I shall lead the myriad immortals of the Primordial Era."

"My commands are all decrees, my laws are all rules. Those who do not respect the Immortal Emperor's decree shall be destroyed!"

"I shall suppress the destiny with the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Dragon Head Crutch!"

"May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

Subsequently, a cold and emotionless voice came from the void.

"Approved!"

Following this, merit descended from the heavens. The Duke of the East bathed in the merit and soon successfully severed his second corpse.

His realm continued to rise after severing the second corpse, only stopping when he reached the late stage of Quasi-Sage.

Once he severs his third corpse, he will be able to step into the peak realm of Quasi-Sage.

As for the Dragon Head Crutch, it was naturally obtained by the Duke of the East from the Treasure Distribution Cliff.

As the saying goes, what is meant to be his cannot escape, and what is not meant to be his cannot be taken by force.

Since the Duke of the East stepped into the Treasure Distribution Cliff, the Dragon Head Crutch had a natural resonance and flew into the Duke of the East's hands.

This made the Duke of the East incredibly excited. One must know that it was an Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Coming back to his senses.

After establishing the court, the Duke of the East sent people to find the Queen Mother of the West.

However, the Queen Mother of the West had many considerations and believed that the Duke of the East was being foolish, so she went into seclusion and did not respond.

This matter had to be dropped!

Demon Court.

Dijun heard that the Duke of the East had established the Immortal Court in Penglai and even declared himself the head of the myriad immortals, arrogantly claiming that all immortals were under his governance. He let out a burst of laughter!

"Elder Brother, this Duke of the East is too arrogant and conceited. He wants to stand against our Demon Court. How about I lead the troops and destroy his Immortal Court?"

Taiyi said, feeling displeased.

"Heh heh! No matter, let him show off a bit more. Once I finish refining the treasures from the Treasure Distribution Cliff and that Hongmeng Purple Qi, I will destroy him then!"

Taiyi pouted, then nodded.

Since the Duke of the East established the Immortal Court, the gods and spirits of the Primordial Era had mixed opinions.

However, there were still many rogue cultivators from the Primordial Era who joined his Immortal Court. As his power grew stronger, the Duke of the East also became increasingly arrogant, and his ambition gradually began to surge.

This day,

Kunpeng began his second step of the plan.

"Immortal Emperor, I believe we can seek the Primordial Violet Qi in Hong Yun's hands."

"Oh?"

In fact, Duke of the East had also been thinking about becoming a Saint these past few days. Without becoming a Saint, one was ultimately just an ant!

Back in the Purple Firmament Palace, he had been slighted for not being seated on one of the six prayer mats. Later, when the Primordial Violet Qi was being fought over, he hadn't even touched it. This matter had always bothered him!

This time, with the establishment of his court and his strength greatly increased, his ambition was considerable, and he became increasingly reckless.

With a single glance from Kunpeng, things spiraled out of control.

The two talked until late into the night before leaving the palace to meditate and rest!

As he left, Kunpeng's mouth curved slightly, and he sneered as he looked in the direction of Five Villages Temple.

"Hong Yun, where do you think you'll run this time?"

He then flashed away towards the North Sea. This time, he would return to mobilize his troops and make thorough arrangements. He wanted both the Primordial Violet Qi and Hong Yun's death!

Ultimately, he was still someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

The next day,

Teams of Immortal Soldiers began marching towards Five Villages Temple.

This time, the Immortal Court dispatched several Quasi-Sages, thousands of Great Luo, and tens of thousands of soldiers.

On the other side, Kunpeng had also arranged everything in the rear and then hid in the shadows.

Five Villages Temple.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi was pacing back and forth!

Hong Yun, on the other hand, was calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with him, munching on a Ginseng Fruit.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun! How can you still have the leisure to eat my Ginseng Fruit? That Duke of the East has already come knocking!"

Hong Yun pouted and said,

"Isn't there still Fellow Daoist you! And the great formation in this Five Villages Temple. As long as I don't go out, that Duke of the East can't do anything to me. Why should I be anxious?"

"At worst, I'll just stay here. When those who are besieged tire, they will naturally retreat. It won't be too late for me to go out then."

"Uh..."

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Hong Yun speechlessly.

"Alas... what a sin, how did I, Zhen Yuanzi, end up with an enemy like you!"

Hong Yun rolled his eyes and glanced at Zhen Yuanzi.

"Tch... it was a matter of mutual consent, I didn't force Fellow Daoist you."

Suddenly!

With a loud bang!

The entire Five Villages Temple began to shake.

"Master! This is bad, that Duke of the East has attacked, and is currently forcefully breaking through the formation!"

Qing Feng ran over, panting, to report!

Zhen Yuanzi's brows furrowed tightly, then he looked outside the temple.

"This is going too far!"

He flashed and disappeared from the Five Villages Temple, appearing outside.

"Stop!"

"Duke of the East, what is the meaning of this?"

The Duke of the East arrived before Zhen Yuanzi with an arrogant air, glancing at him condescendingly.

"Hmph, as an immortal, why do you not kneel when you see this Emperor?"

"Bah... you call yourself the Immortal Emperor, do you really think you are the Immortal Emperor?"

"I, Zhen Yuanzi, kneel to heaven and earth, what are you, Duke of the East, that you would have me kneel to you!"

The Duke of the East was stunned, then became furious!

"Audacious, how dare you be disrespectful to this Emperor, then let's see the truth with our hands!"

"Attack, flatten this Five Villages Temple, I want to see how long that Hong Yun will hide."

"You..."

Zhen Yuanzi stopped talking nonsense and instantly launched an attack on the Duke of the East.

Seeing that the attack was not yielding results, the other few Quasi-Sages all attacked Zhen Yuanzi simultaneously.

After a moment, Zhen Yuanzi gradually fell into a disadvantage.

And at this moment, Hong Yun, who was still observing all of this within the Five Villages Temple, finally became restless.

"What to do?"

"What should I do?"

Finally, he was startled!

"Escape!"
