Is This Targeting Our Witch Tribe? The Ancestral Witches Storm the Purple Heaven Palace!

The Dao Sound fell, spreading throughout the Primordial Wilderness!

After hearing Old Ancestor Hongjun's words, every living being in the Primordial Wilderness was shocked and awestruck!

They were all deeply shaken!

And at that moment, the Heavenly Dao responded!

A vast Dao Sound descended from the sky, infused with waves of Dao Rhyme.

Then, streaks of Golden Light spread across the horizon, seemingly confirming the legitimacy of Hongjun's words through this method.

This once again left the Primordial Wilderness' countless living beings profoundly shaken.

Because they could all see it—

This was "Heavenly Dao Certification"!

Old Ancestor Hongjun had issued an edict in the name of the Heavenly Dao...

If the Heavenly Dao did not permit it, punishment would surely descend.

But the Heavenly Dao had not punished him!

Instead, it had used that method to lend momentum to Old Ancestor Hongjun.

This was enough to prove that Old Ancestor Hongjun had not lied.

What he had just spoken of truly had been relayed on behalf of the Heavenly Dao!

Therefore—

This edict now possessed sufficient legitimacy!

No matter what Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xuan Yang on the Sun Star thought...

They had to obey the Heavenly Dao Edict.

Unless—

They intended to oppose the Heavenly Dao!

But no normal person would do such a thing.

After all, living in the Primordial Wilderness yet choosing to oppose the Heavenly Dao...

No matter how one looked at it, that was an incomparably foolish course of action!

Of course—

After the brief shock, many living beings across the Primordial Wilderness fell into wild ecstasy.

Because they felt they had been saved!

As for who became the Demon Emperor or whatever...

The living beings of the Primordial Wilderness did not care in the slightest.

But before Old Ancestor Hongjun's Heavenly Dao Edict had been announced...

The living beings of the Primordial Wilderness had no concept of "demons."

They had merely been ordinary living beings of the Primordial Wilderness, constantly hunted and devoured by the Witch Tribe...

But soon, once Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xuan Yang established the Demon Race, they would become demons!

And by then, Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xuan Yang would also establish the Demon Court.

Surely they would protect ordinary living beings like them, right?

As Demon Emperor, East Emperor, and West Emperor personally appointed by Old Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao...

Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xuan Yang should bear that responsibility!

Thus, at this moment, many living beings across the Primordial Wilderness who had spent years hiding and suffering the Witch Tribe's oppression and slaughter felt immense surprise and joy.

Elsewhere.

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

The Eleven Ancestral Witches besides Houtu were all gathered here.

At this moment, the Eleven Ancestral Witches had all learned about Old Ancestor Hongjun issuing an edict on behalf of the Heavenly Dao.

Every one of them looked extremely displeased.

Zhu Rong snorted coldly. "The Demon Race? They're nothing more than a bunch of food, yet they're specially establishing a race?"

"Demon Emperor? East Emperor? West Emperor? Aren't they just three Miscellaneous Birds? Putting on airs..."

Zhu Jiuyin looked toward Di Jiang. "Eldest Brother, what do Old Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao mean by issuing this edict? Are they trying to target our Witch Tribe?"

Lou Gong's face was filled with confusion. "Target our Witch Tribe? What makes you say that?"

Zhu Jiuyin replied irritably, "These so-called demons have always been rations and food for our Witch Tribe's children."

"But before this, there was no Demon Race, and no one had the concept of 'demons'..."

"So our Witch Tribe could slaughter and devour them as we pleased."

"But now that Old Ancestor Hongjun's edict has been issued... the Demon Race will be established."

"When our Witch Tribe's children continue hunting the Demon Race, it will inevitably provoke retaliation."

Zhu Rong immediately flew into a rage. "They've got some nerve! The entire Primordial Wilderness was created by Father God!"

"Our Witch Tribe eating the Primordial World's Myriad Things is perfectly natural and justified."

"For them to serve as rations for our Witch Tribe is their honor!"

"And they dare resist? When the time comes, I'll wipe them all out."

Zhu Jiuyin at his side said, "That may be so, but I am wondering what exactly Old Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao intend by doing this."

Di Jiang pondered briefly as well, but failed to think of anything and could only reply,

"We still do not know the details. Why not wait until Sister Houtu returns before discussing this?"

"Among all us brothers and sisters, she has the quickest mind. We can hear her thoughts."

"Besides, she went to listen to Old Ancestor Hongjun's Sermon, so she was present."

"We can ask her about the details once she returns."

Zhu Jiuyin nodded at this. "That works."

But Zhu Rong at the side grew somewhat impatient. "Why don't we just go straight to Purple Cloud Palace? Waiting around here is too unbearable!"

Di Jiang nodded. "That works too. Then let us go..."

After making their decision, the Eleven Ancestral Witches rushed toward Purple Cloud Palace together.

Because of their impatient natures, they traveled at Full Power.

In an instant, they soared into the clouds of the nine heavens, filling the sky with surging Malevolent Qi.

Elsewhere.

Inside Purple Cloud Palace.

The people who had come to hear the Sermon naturally had no idea how great a stir Old Ancestor Hongjun's Heavenly Dao Edict would cause in the Primordial Wilderness...

They merely stared at Old Ancestor Hongjun before them in shock.

Under their gazes.

Old Ancestor Hongjun finally looked toward them.

He did not explain in the Slightest Bit why he had issued the edict.

He merely glanced at them calmly.

Then, after once again emphasizing that the next Sermon would take place one kalpa later, he vanished into the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud.

The cultivators looked at one another and began discussing matters again.

But now, hardly anyone spoke again of Slaying the Three Corpses.

Instead, they heatedly discussed the "Demon Race," the "Demon Court," and the "Heavenly Dao Edict."

Of course...

Among these discussions.

The overwhelming majority envied Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xuan Yang of the Sun Star.

After all, in their eyes—

All enlightened beings of the Primordial Wilderness were demons. How powerful would the Demon Race become?

And after the Three Golden Crow Brothers—Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xuan Yang—received Old Ancestor Hongjun's appointment, they could rightfully rule the Demon Race...

How prosperous and powerful would they become in the future?

Thus, many cultivators present were deeply envious.

Especially East King Gong!

He had always harbored ambitions of dominating the Primordial Wilderness.

Moreover, Old Ancestor Hongjun appointing him Head of Male Immortals in the Primordial World during the previous Sermon had given him tremendous confidence.

That was why Old Ancestor Hongjun had so easily drawn out his idea of establishing the Immortal Court before.

But the successive events of this Sermon had given him a powerful sense of crisis.

First, when the Cushions were being contested, Old Ancestor Hongjun had not favored him and had given the seats to Zhunti and Jieyin...

And now, Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xuan Yang were to command a massive race like the Demon Race...

Had he already become one of Old Ancestor Hongjun's discarded pawns?

Did Old Ancestor Hongjun intend to nurture Di Jun, Taiyi, and Xuan Yang, making them his own force?

Otherwise, why had he not given the title of Demon Emperor to him?

Di Jun could become Demon Emperor?

Couldn't he, East King Gong, do the same?

He was the Head of Male Immortals in the Primordial World!
