The extremely familiar voice reached the ears of Di Jun and Tai Yi, and all twelve Quasi-Saints breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's actually Fellow Daoist Xuanqing!"
Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, how have you been? I didn't expect to see you again so soon.
Back then on Buzhou Mountain, I have to thank Fellow Xuanqing for saving me from that predicament.
Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xuanqing on obtaining three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Di Jun and Tai Yi immediately greeted each other with smiles.
After flying to the side of the twelve Quasi-Saints, including Di Jun and Tai Yi, Xuanqing looked them over and then revealed a shocked expression.
"Di Jun and Tai Yi Dao is truly fortunate, to have attained Quasi-Sainthood in such a short time."
Such talent, such background, such speed of cultivation—I truly envy Poor Daoist.
Xuanqing's shock was feigned.
The twelve Quasi-Saints in Di Jun and Tai Yi's group were able to advance to Quasi-Saint status so quickly.
The reason for this is probably similar to that of Mituo and Bodhi in attaining sainthood.
Understanding the reasons why Di Jun and Tai Yi attained enlightenment also explains why Mituo and Bodhi attained quasi-sainthood.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, you flatter us. We have merely received the opportunity of Saint."
The Saint bestowed his holy blood, which is why we were able to attain quasi-sage status so quickly.
If we were to cultivate ourselves, it would probably take us quite some time to sever our corpses and attain Quasi-Sainthood."
It wasn't until after he attained the quasi-sainthood that Di Jun and Tai Yi realized that without the tacit approval of the Saint Hongjun, he would have been completely lost.
Their act of taking the holy blood from the Purple Heavens Palace was suicidal.
Similarly, without the tacit approval of Saint, they would be even less likely to cultivate with sacred blood.
Therefore, Di Jun felt that revealing this matter would also promote the image of the compassionate Saint Hongjun.
In this way, Di Jun might even gain more recognition from the Saint Hongjun.
In the Purple Heavens Palace, the Old Thief Hongjun's expression turned ugly upon hearing Di Jun's words.
"This Di Jun really speaks without restraint. Although this matter is insignificant..."
But to leak this information like this would be an insult to my dignity Saint.
"Wouldn't Xuanqing think my holy blood is so cheap?"
Di Jun intended to flatter Hongjun, but instead, he ended up flattering the Saint person.
Instead of pleasing Saint Hongjun, it aroused Hongjun Saint.
"The Saint Hongjun is truly generous, even bestowing his holy blood upon you fellow Daoists. You fellow Daoists are truly fortunate."
Xuanqing looked on with envy and spoke, having figured out why Mituo and Bodhi had advanced so quickly.
With the help of the Saint blood of Hongjun, it would be difficult for Mituo and Bodhi not to advance rapidly.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, did you also sense an opportunity upon your arrival?"
After some pleasantries, Di Jun finally asked Xuanqing about his background.
"Fellow Di Jun is right. Poor Daoist have indeed sensed the opportunity here."
"I am truly destined to meet my fellow Poor Daoist, Di Jun and Tai Yi. Every time we part or meet again, it is by chance."
Upon hearing Xuanqing's words, Di Jun and Tai Yi, recalling the events, realized it was indeed true.
"This is fate, a series of coincidences that brought us together and deepened our connection."
Di Jun originally intended to propose a sworn brotherhood with Xuanqing, but at that moment, the auspicious clouds that obscured the thirty-sixth heaven changed.
The auspicious clouds dispersed, revealing a magnificent Jinguang where the clouds had dispersed.
Above the gate were three Jinguang, divine characters: "South Heaven Gate".
The South Heaven Gate is located in the First Heaven the thirty-six heavens Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven.
It is the only gateway to enter the Heavenly Court and the Thirty-Six Heavens.
Of course, besides the South Heaven Gate, which is the only gateway to the thirty-sixth Heavenly Court, there are also the East Heaven Gate, the West Heaven Gate, and the North Heaven Gate.
The four heavenly gates correspond to the four directions of the Primordial Wilderness.
The appearance of the South Heaven Gate was Hongjun's doing, to prevent Di Jun from pledging to become sworn brothers with Xuanqing.
"Although Xuanqing has some value, joining the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race can greatly enhance the Heavenly Court."
But you absolutely must not become sworn brothers with Di Jun!
If this happens, wouldn't that old fellow Reincarnation have a reason to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Court?
Moreover, once they become sworn brothers, that guy from Reincarnation can also enjoy the Heavenly Court's Fortune.
That Destiny/Luck is something I can have in my grasp, and I cannot afford to lose it.
Moreover, once that guy Reincarnation obtains the Heavenly Court's Fortune, his cultivation will accelerate even further.
How will I and the Heavenly Dao deal with that guy then?
This Di Jun is always causing me trouble.
"If you weren't still of any use, I would have shown you the methods of a Saint."
Hongjun, however, harbors resentment towards Di Jun because of this, and it is likely that Di Jun and Tai Yi's future fate will be even more tragic.
"South Heaven Gate! This place is truly a wonderful location. Look at the rich spiritual energy; it's even more terrifying than Penglai Immortal Island."
Fellow Di Jun and Tai Yi, what are we waiting for? We should hurry and explore this treasure land.
"It's getting late, and it will probably attract countless powerful explorers."
After Xuanqing's reminder, Di Jun finally came to his senses and quickly led his ten subordinates into the South Heaven Gate.
The reason why Di Jun was stunned was because when he saw the South Heaven Gate, his Primordial Spirit trembled wildly as a warning.
He sensed that his own path lay within it.
"The Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven! The Thirty-Six Heavens! The Heavenly Court! What a wonderful place, what a wonderful place!"
As soon as they entered the South Heaven Gate, a series of messages appeared in the minds of Di Jun and Tai Yi, and Xuanqing.
The group of powerful individuals quickly grasped the general situation of the Thirty-Six Heavens.
Di Jun's voice trembled when he mentioned the Heavenly Court.
Because when the Heavenly Court was mentioned, the Imperial Way controlled by Di Jun trembled violently.
Moreover, information about the Heavenly Court appeared in Di Jun's mind almost divinely.
The Heavenly Court governs all the heavens from its own location in the thirty-two Heavens of Pingyu Jiayi Heaven down to the First Heaven of Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven.
They even possess the authority to rule over the Primordial Wilderness, primordial starry sky and Primordial Wilderness living beings.
If he could take over the Heavenly Court, Di Jun would definitely be able to wield supreme power.
The group of powerful individuals quickly traversed layer after layer of heavens, arriving at the thirty-second heaven, Pingyu Jia Yitian.
Within Pingyu Jiayi Heaven palaces, with the Lingxiao Treasure Hall standing Pingyu Jiayi Heaven the very center.
Towering into the clouds, as if piercing into the Chaos, it represents the supreme authority of the Heavenly Court.
Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Jinguang, and precious energy overflowed. Countless Innate Spiritual Qi and auspicious clouds swirled around it, and the laws of nature manifested.
Above the imperial throne in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, a large seal imbued with terrifying Destiny/Luck rested on the Emperor's Desk.
That large seal was none other than the Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Emperor Seal, representing the supreme authority of the Heavenly Emperor.
When Di Jun saw the Heavenly Emperor Seal, he was so excited that he trembled uncontrollably.
"The power of the Heavenly Court is truly formidable, with such terrifying Destiny/Luck."
With this Destiny/Luck, Di Jun and Tai Yi are likely to rise to prominence in the future.
However, if they were to establish Demon Race as before, they would likely not escape their ultimate fate.
The Demon Race is not so easy to govern, even though it has great Destiny/Luck after its Demon Race.
But the Demon Race was created by forcibly combining countless races together.
"The Destiny/Luck is incredibly complex; if it cannot be integrated and unified, it will ultimately backfire."
