After Qin Xuan returned to Pangu Temple, he didn't delay and immediately began closed-door cultivation, fully deducing the grand formation.
Years are unrecorded in Primordial Chaos, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years passed.
On this day, in the east of the Primordial Chaos continent, above the East Sea, two figures suddenly soared into the sky.
It was none other than Duke Dong, the leader of male immortals personally appointed by Hongjun, and Queen Mother of the West, the leader of female immortals.
They stood above the nine heavens, their majestic voices rolling out, resounding throughout Primordial Chaos:
"Heavenly Dao is above! I am Duke Dong, the leader of male immortals!"
"I am Queen Mother of the West, the leader of female immortals!"
"Today, we establish the Immortal Court here, to lead the male and female immortals of Primordial Chaos, manage the affairs of Primordial Chaos, maintain the order of heaven and earth, and use the supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Dragon Head Staff, to suppress the Immortal Court's fortune!"
"Immortal Court, established!"
As soon as the words fell, the voice of the Heavenly Dao echoed from the void of Primordial Chaos:
"Approved!"
As the voice faded, boundless golden light of merit poured down from the nine heavens, transforming into a thick golden pillar of light.
Its scale and momentum seemed even grander than when the Demon Court was first established!
Sixty percent of this golden light of merit merged into the bodies of Duke Dong and Queen Mother of the West respectively, and twenty percent entered the Dragon Head Staff.
The remaining twenty percent fell upon the immortals who followed the two and made the announcement together.
"Good self, behead!"
Just as the merit was bestowed, Duke Dong and Queen Mother of the West simultaneously let out a low shout.
Immediately afterward, two figures resembling their own appearances appeared and then merged into their bodies.
In an instant, the auras of Duke Dong and Queen Mother of the West soared wildly, directly stepping into the Quasi-Sage realm.
And within the Immortal Court, all the immortals bathed in the golden light of merit also experienced a great surge in their cultivation under the blessing of this merit.
Duke Dong's figure rose into the air, full of vigor. He channeled his Quasi-Sage mana, and his voice rolled out:
"Our Immortal Court is established in accordance with the will of the Heavenly Dao!"
"The Demon Clan is tyrannical and without morality, wantonly harming living beings, causing grief and desolation to spread across the Primordial Chaos."
"All those who are unwilling to be bullied by the Demon Clan and cannot live in peace can come and join my Immortal Court, and the Immortal Court will protect you!"
This vast voice, carrying the pressure of a Quasi-Sage and the fortune of the newly established Immortal Court, spread to every corner of Primordial Chaos.
Countless creatures and races who had suffered greatly from the oppression of the Demon Clan, upon hearing these words, began to rush towards the direction of the East Sea.
However, amidst the grand momentum of the Immortal Court's initial establishment.
Deep within the Primordial Chaos void, a wisp of extremely subtle and barely perceptible tribulation energy had already begun to quietly spread.
At the same time, in the west of Primordial Chaos, within Mount Sumeru.
Jieyin looked at the soaring golden light of merit in the east, his eyes flashing with a hint of blood-red, and said with a face full of envy:
"Junior Brother, so much merit!"
"What do you say, should we brothers also announce to the Heavenly Dao and establish a sect? Could we get some merit?"
In Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Duke Dong and Queen Mother of the West successfully establish the Immortal Court.
He thought to himself:
"Fortunately, the arrangement on the Immortal Court's side didn't go wrong..."
However, he hadn't completely relaxed yet.
In the next moment, Hongjun's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he directly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He heard two more grand declarations coming from the void:
"Heavenly Dao is above! I am Jieyin!"
"I am Zhunti!"
"Now, we see that all living beings are suffering, without support, and suffering endlessly. Therefore, we establish the Western Sect, willing to save all living beings, guide people towards goodness, and seek the path of liberation!"
"Western Sect, established!"
Hongjun was completely numb!
He only felt his head buzzing, a chaotic mess.
How did Jieyin and Zhunti, those two idiots, create the Western Sect?
He trembled with anger, then his lips moved slightly, as if he said something to the Heavenly Dao.
Mount Sumeru.
After their announcement, both Jieyin and Zhunti stood there looking utterly bewildered.
"Where's the merit?"
"What about the Heavenly Dao merit we were promised?!"
"Why hasn't it descended yet?"
Just as they were puzzling over this, the void of Primordial Chaos suddenly churned again, and a vast, indescribable pressure descended.
The next moment, a gigantic, utterly emotionless Heavenly Dao eye manifested, hovering in the sky above Mount Sumeru.
Jieyin and Zhunti's faces lit up with joy.
The merit was about to descend!
They were overjoyed and immediately soared into the air, ready to bathe in the golden light of merit.
However, the expected golden pillar of light did not appear.
The Heavenly Dao eye merely flickered slightly, and a cold, purple light flashed within it.
Immediately afterward, endless Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, carrying an aura of world-destroying power, crashed down!
Like a torrential rain, it slammed down on the two of them.
The crackling thunder echoed incessantly, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
The lightning illuminated Mount Sumeru.
It was unknown how long passed before the raging thunder gradually dissipated.
The Heavenly Dao eye in the void also faded away.
The figures of Jieyin and Zhunti reappeared.
At this moment, they were charred black, their clothes tattered, black smoke billowing from their mouths, and their bodies twitching uncontrollably.
They exchanged a glance, both utterly bewildered.
Why?
Why did Duke Dong and Queen Mother of the West get merit and a surge in cultivation for establishing the Immortal Court?
And all they got for establishing the Western Sect was a lightning strike?
Wasn't this Heavenly Dao being a bit too unfair?
Jieyin, his face covered in soot, spat out a mouthful of black smoke and said to Zhunti, "Junior Brother, since we can't get any merit from the Heavenly Dao, why don't we go to that Immortal Court and see if we can snag some benefits?"
Zhunti nodded and said, "Senior Brother is right. We still owe Duke Dong karma; we can't let it go to waste!"
With that, the two endured the intense pain in their bodies, flashed, and headed towards the East Sea, looking utterly disheveled.
Kunlun Mountain. Yuanshi, who had originally intended to establish a sect as well, sheepishly retracted his actions after sensing the commotion in the West.
Pangu Temple.
Qin Xuan was directly amused.
These people were truly bold, trying to fleece the Heavenly Dao itself.
At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Hongjun had no choice but to support the Immortal Court to counter the Demon Clan.
It seemed there was hope of surviving the calamity.
With a thought, a scroll with a yin-yang fish pattern appeared in his hand, the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram.
In ten thousand years, he had successfully deduced the method of using the Taiji Diagram to set up an array.
With a flash, he disappeared directly from the Pangu Temple.
In a short while, he had already appeared at the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
