Di Jun Meets a Setback
"Stop acting recklessly; I have not yet achieved enlightenment."
Hongjun pushed Chu Feng aside and said calmly.
Chu Feng carefully examined her, but found nothing unusual so far.
Could it be that I'm overthinking it? Is there something wrong with the way of Heaven?
Chu Feng stopped thinking about it and asked, "What brings you here?"
Hongjun chuckled softly, feigning mystery. "The Heavenly secrets have not yet been revealed; it is too early to discuss them now. You should rest assured and stay here. In two days, the truth will become clear."
Chu Feng rolled his eyes. "Playing coy, fine, I'll wait for you here for two days."
Hongjun nodded slightly and began chatting with Chu Feng.
Meanwhile, on the Sun Star, Demon Emperor Hall.
Di Jun sat high on his throne, his face ashen.
Since taking over the three clans, her cultivation has been stuck at a bottleneck, and she has been unable to break through it for a long time.
What worries her even more is that the fortune of the entire Demon Clan Heavenly Court is as if bound by an invisible shackle, growing at an unusually slow pace.
In contrast, the Witch Clan were all brimming with vitality and their strength was growing stronger day by day.
In recent years, although the friction between the Lich and Demon races has become increasingly serious, resulting in several battles, millions of low-level cultivators from both races have died.
Although the Twelve Ancestral Witches listened to Chu Feng and did not intend to participate in the Witch-Demon Calamity, there was nothing they could do.
This is the inevitable trend of Heaven. Even if the Twelve Ancestral Witches do not intervene, the other members of the Witch Clan will fight against the Demon Clan.
Dijiang could only turn a blind eye to this.
"Demon Master, esteemed Demon God, our demon race rules over the celestial sphere and governs the Heavenly Court; we should be the protagonists of heaven and earth."
"Our luck is bad right now, and it's hard to advance in cultivation. Do any of you have any good ideas?" Di Jun asked.
Bai Ze stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the way of Heaven is cyclical; isolated Yang cannot produce life, and isolated Yin cannot grow."
Although my Demon Court occupies the Heavenly Realm and enjoys unparalleled glory, it is ultimately a case of yang dominating yin, which is a flaw.
If this continues, one's fortune will naturally be difficult to achieve.
"Oh?"
A glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes. "What are your thoughts?"
Bai Ze smiled slightly, confident. "Does Your Majesty know about the Taiyin Star?"
"Of course I know."
Di Jun nodded. "The Taiyin Star is the transformation of the Taiyin Origin. There is Moon Laurel Tree on it, which nurtured the two primordial goddesses Xihe and Changxi."
Bai Ze repeatedly said, "That's right! Your Majesty is the essence of the sun, the ultimate of Yang, while the two goddesses Xihe and Changxi are the essence of the Taiyin, the ultimate of Yin."
If Your Majesty can become Dao Companion with the two goddesses, emulating the union of Yin and Yang, and thus achieve Heavenly Marriage, then Yin and Yang will be united, Heaven and Earth will be in harmony, and immeasurable merit will surely descend upon you.
At that time, Your Majesty's cultivation will be able to break through in one fell swoop with this merit, and the fortune of our Demon Court will also be at its zenith, completely overshadowing the Witch Clan!"
Upon hearing this, all the Demon God in the hall had their eyes light up.
Donghuang Taiyi nodded repeatedly. Although the Primordial World was now full of female immortals, she and her sister cultivated the Law of Fire.
If Changxi Xihe could join the demon race, harmonizing yin and yang, their cultivation could indeed advance further.
Di Jun was even more excited. He slammed his hand on the throne and laughed loudly, "This plan is brilliant! The union of Yin and Yang is a match made in heaven; it is the will of Heaven!"
Bai Ze quickly added, "Your Majesty, although this is a match made in heaven, we must still follow the rules of etiquette."
Nuwa was bestowed Red Embroidered Ball by the Dao Ancestor. If we can ask her to act as matchmaker and go to the Taiyin Star to mediate, this matter will surely be accomplished smoothly.
Di Jun agreed wholeheartedly and immediately began to deduce the secrets of Heavenly secrets in order to find Nuwa's whereabouts.
A moment later, her face darkened.
The Heavenly secrets indicate that Nuwa is currently in the territory of the Witch Clan, discussing the Dao with the Ancestral Witch Houtu. Going to her at this time would clearly be inappropriate.
"Hmph, time waits for no one!"
Di Jun snorted coldly and stood up. "Why bother with others for a mere marriage proposal? Taiyi and I will go ourselves. As the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan, are we not worthy of these sisters?"
Di Jun felt that since they were all female immortals, marriage was just a formality.
With this in mind, Di Jun made up his mind and decided not to delay any longer.
Donghuang Taiyi nodded and said, "Sister is absolutely right. Our personal visit will show our sincerity."
The two sisters acted immediately, transforming into two golden rainbows that tore through the void and headed straight for the Taiyin Star.
On the Taiyin Star, Moon Laurel Tree, Xihe and Changxi, the two sisters, were sitting facing each other, enjoying tea.
Suddenly, a scorching and domineering aura descended from the sky.
"I am Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan, and I have come with my younger sister Donghuang Taiyi, to pay a special visit to fellow Xihe and Changxi."
Di Jun's voice echoed above the Taiyin Star.
Xihe frowned. She was aloof and proud, and disliked such flamboyant and domineering people the most.
She and her sister Changxi stepped out, looked up at Di Jun and Taiyi floating in the air, and said coldly, "What brings the Demon Emperor here?"
Upon seeing Xihe and her sister appear, Di Jun immediately said, "We have come to propose Heavenly Marriage. If this is successful, you will become Heavenly Empresses and share the destiny of the Demon Court with me. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Xihe's pretty face turned frosty, her phoenix eyes widened, and she sternly rebuked, "What a fine 'representative of Heaven'! Di Jun, you feathered beast, you've only obtained a little bit of fortune, yet you dare to presume to call yourself supreme and speak of Heavenly Marriage?"
My lineage of Taiyin Star is pure and free; how dare you defile it? Get out of Taiyin Star at once!
"You!"
Di Jun had never been insulted like this before, and he was immediately enraged, revealing his murderous intent.
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! I've given you face, but you don't know what's good for you! Today, I'll show you sisters what the might of the Heavenly Emperor truly is!"
Before she finished speaking, the River Diagram and Luo Shu behind her flew out, transforming into a vast star array that descended upon Xihe and Changxi.
With a gentle shake of the Chaos Bell in his Donghuang Taiyi unleashed a devastating wave of energy that shattered space wherever it passed.
Xihe and Changxi's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly summoned their companion spiritual treasures, activating the power of the Taiyin Origin to resist.
In an instant, the Solar True Fire and the divine water of the Taiyin collided fiercely in the starry sky, their laws intertwined, and divine light burst forth.
However, Di Jun and Taiyi were, after all, late-stage Quasi-Saint, and possessed supreme treasures, while the two sisters were only early-stage Primordial Origin Golden Immortal. Even with the advantage of terrain, they gradually became no match for them.
Just as Di Jun was smugly sneering, thinking that the overall situation was settled...
Suddenly, an extremely clear and cold voice emanated from the deepest part of the Taiyin Star.
"Presumptuous!"
As soon as the words fell, a hand as white as jade appeared out of thin air, and with a gentle flick, the aftershocks emanating from the Chaos Bell were instantly dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure descended, and a white-clad figure appeared before them—it was Wangshu.
"Wang, Wangshu?"
Di Jun's pupils suddenly contracted, his face full of confusion.
Didn't she already perish?
Little did Di Jun know that Wangshu had been saved by Chu Feng, and that her cultivation had even recovered to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
They were only at the late stage of Quasi-Saint level; with Wangshu's strength, she could easily suppress them both.
Wangshu glanced at them indifferently and said, "Changxi Xihe are already my disciples. You may leave."
Upon hearing this, the two dared not linger for a moment, transforming into two golden rays and hastily fleeing from the Taiyin Star.
The Sun Star.
"Sister, what should we do now?" Donghuang Taiyi asked.
