Visitors Arrive One After Another
"Can."
The illusory image of the Heavenly Dao nodded slightly, its voice echoing in the void.
Hongjun's tense body relaxed slightly; her relationship with Chu Feng as Dao Companion had been recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
The next moment, an immense and boundless pressure surged from Hongjun's body, descending upon every corner of the Primordial World.
"I am Hongjun, and today I hereby proclaim to the primordial Primordial World that I have become Dao Companion with Chu Feng!"
Hongjun's voice resounded deep within the true spirits of every living being in the Primordial World.
All the great beings of the Primordial World, whether hidden or present, lost their composure at this moment, their hearts churning with monstrous waves.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun actually had Dao Companion?
Who exactly is this man named Chu Feng?
How could it possibly move the ruthless and desireless Dao Ancestor to worldly desires?
Shouyang Mountain, Eight Views Palace.
"Elder brother, the Witch Clan is now very powerful, and the Demon Clan may not be their match. If the Demon Clan is defeated, you may fall from the Saint Position," Yuanshi said.
Upon hearing this, Laozi sighed softly, "Alas, how could I not know?"
"Alright, now that our teacher and Chu Feng have become Dao Companion, let's offer our congratulations and ask our teacher what to do next."
"Good!"
The two figures flashed and headed towards the Purple Heavens Palace.
Throughout the Primordial World world, countless divine thoughts intertwined in the void, searching, yet they could not find a trace of Chu Feng.
The name Chu Feng was known most clearly only to the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace; the rest were from the Human Race.
In the void, Hongjun, who had proclaimed his authority to the world, withdrew his power and looked at Chu Feng with a complex expression.
"Now that the matter is settled, let's hasten our attainment of the Dao."
The voice of Heaven was icy cold.
"Heavenly Dao, rest assured, the matter is settled, I will merge with the Dao as soon as possible."
Hongjun nodded slightly, readily agreeing, then turned and returned to the Purple Heavens Palace.
Seeing this, Chu Feng prepared to leave, but was stopped by the Heavenly Dao.
"Chu Feng, you stay here for now."
The illusory figure of Heaven looked at Chu Feng indifferently, without the slightest expression.
Chu Feng's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm as he asked with a puzzled look, "Heavenly Dao, what important matter do you have with me here?"
Meanwhile, in the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.
The Demon Empress Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi had grim expressions.
Beneath the magnificent palace, countless Demon God trembled in fear.
Not long ago, their assembled demon army was defeated by the Witch Clan army; the demons' supernatural powers appeared utterly weak in their presence.
"Elder sister, the Witch Clan is powerful; if this continues, our Demon Clan will be in grave danger!"
Donghuang Taiyi looked worried.
Di Jun sighed helplessly, "I didn't expect Dijiang to be so strong after Zhujiuyin enlightenment. Unless Master intervenes..."
Donghuang Taiyi's eyes lit up. "Master just got married. Why don't we go and offer our congratulations, and while we're at it, ask Master for some guidance?"
"That's exactly right!"
Di Jun immediately made the decision, "Prepare generous gifts, and my sister and I will go to the Purple Heavens Palace together!"
The two hit it off immediately and headed to the Purple Heavens Palace.
Outside the Purple Heavens Palace, the Daoist aura flowed.
Just as Di Jun and Taiyi descended from the auspicious clouds, before they could even speak, two golden beams of light rushed in from the west, revealing the figures of Jieyin Zhunti.
The two nodded slightly upon seeing Di Jun and his companion.
Immediately afterwards, the figures of Laozi and Yuanshi also quietly appeared.
The group exchanged greetings, each with their own thoughts.
Clearly, the earth-shattering event of the Dao Ancestor's wedding, along with the pressure from the Witch Clan, made them restless.
Hongjun appeared before the palace gates, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, but he remained silent.
Congratulations on your marriage, teacher!
Di Jun and Tai Yi were the first to bow in respect.
Jieyin Zhunti, had faces full of flattery.
Zhunti said, "Master and Grandmaster are a match made in heaven, a cause for celebration Primordial World!"
My Western land is barren, and I have only these two Bodhi Seed to express my heartfelt wishes. May my teacher and grandmaster's path be everlasting and indestructible!
Laozi and Yuanshi also presented some Nine-Turn Golden Elixir that they had personally refined as a congratulatory gift.
Hongjun's gaze swept lightly over the spiritual fruits and golden pills they offered, and he said indifferently, "I appreciate your kindness, but please take them back."
The Four Saints felt a chill in their hearts, especially Jieyin and Zhunti. Their flattery had backfired, leaving them extremely embarrassed and forced to awkwardly withdraw their gifts.
"Di Jun, what brings you two here?"
Hongjun turned his gaze to them.
Di Jun dared not conceal anything and laid bare the war between the two races and their predicament, pleading, "Please, Master, have mercy and show my demon race a clear path!"
Hongjun said calmly, "There is Array Formations in the River Diagram and Luo Shu that is no weaker than the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation. After you comprehend it, you will be able to deal with the Witch Clan."
Hongjun was referring to the Myriad Stars Array, something they had discussed before.
Even if Chu Feng wanted to protect both the Witch and Demon races, he still had to follow the prescribed method of calamity.
Hongjun's advice to the demon race was also beneficial to them.
Firstly, to enhance strength.
Secondly, it would prevent them from being suppressed by the Witch Clan.
The most important thing is to train both races.
This is why Chu Feng raised Di Jun and the others' cultivation to the Saint Sixth Heaven.
The River Diagram and Luo Shu?
Di Jun and Taiyi exchanged a glance, and instantly understood!
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"
Overjoyed, the two bowed respectfully and transformed into two golden streaks, swiftly returning to the Heavenly Court to comprehend the great formation.
Only the Two Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West remained in front of the palace gate.
Hongjun turned his gaze to Laozi and Yuanshi: "And you, what brings you here?"
Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti took their leave.
Yuanshi stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to the teacher, the Witch Clan is now running rampant and does not respect the sages. If this continues, it may disrupt the Primordial World order established by the teacher."
"Although my elder brother and I are sages, we are still troubled by the combined forces of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. We humbly request guidance from our teacher."
They thought even deeper: once the demon race comprehended the great formation, they would inevitably engage in a final battle with the Witch Clan.
How should they deal with this?
Should we intervene and help the demon race?
After all, their fate was already tied to that of the demon race.
The demon race lost, and their fortune was damaged.
The demon race won, but even though they are strong, problems will arise.
Most importantly, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi have become saints!
Saints are untouched by karma and can be resurrected by the Heavenly Dao. How then will the war of saints begin?
As long as Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi live, the Wu and Yao races will likely continue fighting, and the Great Tribulation may never end.
Hongjun's eyes suddenly deepened, and he slowly spoke, "The Witch-Demon Calamity is ordained by Heaven."
"Di Jun, although Taiyi is a sage, he is caught in a calamity. If he perishes in the great battle, Heaven will not intervene to revive him."
What!
Laozi and Yuanshi's pupils suddenly contracted!
The sage's primordial spirit resides in the Dao of Heaven, making him immortal and indestructible.
This is an ironclad rule in their minds!
But now Hongjun actually says that a saint who is in the midst of a great calamity is truly dead once he dies!
This statement completely overturned their understanding and sent chills down their spines.
They had initially harbored some thoughts of gaining something from it, but those thoughts had vanished completely.
When Heaven spoke to Hongjun, the shock was no less than theirs.
However, since Heaven wanted to set things right, it naturally wouldn't use its power to revive Di Jun and the others.
"You need only let nature take its course, observe the changes calmly, and not easily get involved in the karma of witches and demons. You may leave."
Hongjun waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Laozi and Yuanshi exchanged a glance, bowed deeply, and then turned to leave.
In the Endless Void.
The illusory figure of the Heavenly Dao looked at Chu Feng and asked calmly, "What is your purpose in repeatedly disrupting the process of the Great Tribulation and interfering with the operation of the Heavenly Dao?"
