Xuanqing's Mention of Great Merit Was Also a Grand Scheme

Seeing Xuanqing staring at the Mobilization Platform with shining eyes, Di Jun couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

My initial slight concern about Tai Yi's expedition has also shifted.

"Poor Daoist was thinking that the Primordial Wilderness is vast and boundless, and if we could refer to this Mobilization Platform."

To refine a Lingbao or a grand formation that can help Primordial Wilderness creatures travel quickly.

This should be a Great Merit.

Xuanqing's eyes darted around before he directly shared his thoughts.

Since the Demon Race is being secretly supported by the Old Thief Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.

Perhaps we can use the power of the Demon Race to research the Lingbao or grand formations he envisions.

In this way, the development of the Demon Race can be slowed down without consuming the resources and magical power of the Witch Race.

It can also attract the attention of some of the Heavenly Dao and the Old Thief Hongjun.

This move can be described as a win-win situation.

Moreover, the research results might be leaked due to some unforeseen circumstances.

Then the leaked results were obtained by the Witch Race, who first used them in the Primordial Wilderness.

The Witch Race will also receive the Great Merit of developing such a beneficial project for the Primordial Wilderness.

Although the Demon Race will also gain some merit, Xuanqing's goal will have already been achieved.

Sure enough, as soon as Xuanqing finished speaking, both Di Jun beside him and Hongjun, who was eavesdropping in the Purple Heavens Palace, had a glint in their eyes.

This was something they had never even considered before.

According to Taiqing's memories, even later, neither Di Jun nor the Old Thief Hongjun had ever considered such a thing.

Both Di Jun and the Old Thief Hongjun became extremely interested in this matter.

Or rather, it's not that I'm extremely interested in the matter itself, but rather in the immense Great Merit of accomplishing it.

Both Di Jun and the Old Thief Hongjun are currently in dire need of merit points.

In particular, the Old Thief Hongjun had most of his opportunities to Daoism stolen by the seventeen Hunyuan Celestial Venerable.

Furthermore, he has not yet received the three most valued disciples Sanqing Ones.

Even Nuwa, the main target who would reap the benefits of Destiny/Luck after attaining enlightenment, was taken away.

He, Hongjun, lamented that he had no opportunity to gain merit.

Now that Xuanqing has proposed such an idea that could potentially bring Great Merit, how could Hongjun remain unmoved?

Looking at Di Jun's reaction, and feeling the reaction of the three Life-saving Hair on the back of his head.

A faint smile appeared on Xuanqing's lips.

Di Jun and that Old Thief Hongjun have indeed been fooled.

This time, Xuanqing was going to teach Di Jun's Demon Race Heavenly Court and the Old Thief Hongjun what it meant to be a wage slave.

Once Di Jun's Demon Race Heavenly Court and the Old Thief Hongjun begin researching something like Teleportation Array...

That means you're working for him, for the Witch Race.

The fruits of that labor will then be reaped by the Witch Race.

"Indeed, bringing Xuanqing into the Heavenly Court was the most correct decision ever."

I never expected that Xuanqing would present me with such a great gift so soon after the Heavenly Court was established.

Even I'm a little reluctant to kill Xuanqing; perhaps he'll come up with even more brilliant ideas in the future.

Since that is the case, I hereby issue a decree ordering Di Jun's Demon Race Heavenly Court to devote all its efforts to researching such Lingbao or grand formations.

I am confident that I can assist in this matter.

When that Lingbao or grand formation is unleashed, the Great Merit will belong to me.

"At that time, thanks to my merits, I might be able to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao many Eon earlier."

Inside the Purple Heavens Palace, Hongjun immediately devised a plan, and a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

"Xuanqing, blame yourself for revealing this matter directly."

This is the only opportunity I can seize from you.

For the sake of this fortunate encounter, and after I have attained the Dao and broken free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, I may consider sparing your life.

As for your master, that old bastard Reincarnation, I will naturally send him to his death."

Before anything even started, that Old Thief Hongjun was already celebrating.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, this idea is simply brilliant! This is absolutely an incredible opportunity."

If we can accomplish this, we will surely gain immense merit.

"This emperor will now..."

Di Jun spoke excitedly, but what he meant to say was that he would order the entire Heavenly Court to cooperate with Xuanqing in studying this matter.

Then a divine decree carrying holy power descended from the Chaos.

Hongjun timed it perfectly.

If Di Jun successfully issues the order, then the power to take control will shift to Di Jun, not Hongjun.

"The imperial decree commands Di Jun to lead the Demon Race Heavenly Court, in coordination with the Great Emperor Xuanqing of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the Central Pole, to fully calculate this path for the sake of the entire Primordial Wilderness."

In that decree, the voice of the Saint Hongjun resounded throughout the Heavenly Court.

At the same time, holy might emanated from the decree.

The Demon Race that remained in the entire Heavenly Court, whether it was the Heavenly Di Jun, other quasi-saints, or weaker Demon Race.

Under this divine might, they were all forced to kneel.

Xuanqing, on the other hand, had three Life-saving Hair on the back of his head that emitted rays of light.

The holy might of the Old Thief Hongjun could not affect Xuanqing at all; Xuanqing was also the only living being in the entire Heavenly Court who remained standing.

Hongjun had naturally anticipated this scene, and with a cold snort, he paid no further attention.

As long as Xuanqing can help Hongjun figure out what he's talking about, Hongjun naturally won't care about these details.

Of course, it's also because he was powerless against the Ancestor Reincarnation at that moment.

At this moment, Di Jun lowered his head, his face filled with resentment and unwillingness.

In this way, wouldn't such a great opportunity and Great Merit deed become the property of that Old Thief Hongjun?

Unfortunately, Di Jun dared not express his dissatisfaction in the face of the Saint's decree.

"Di Jun respectfully obeys the decree of the Saint."

Even though Di Jun was extremely unwilling and angry, he had no choice but to agree to this.

If he dares to utter even the slightest dissent, his reign as Heavenly Di Jun, will likely be over today.

But at this moment, a thought descended upon the Heavenly Court once more.

"Old Thief Hongjun, this matter was devised by my disciple Xuanqing. What business is it of yours, Old Thief Hongjun?"

How dare you steal the great opportunity and Great Merit of my disciple Xuanqing!

I will not allow this!

If you don't give me an explanation, the situation from that day will probably repeat itself."

The will of the Ancestor Reincarnation suddenly emerged from the three Life-saving Hair on the back of Xuanqing's head.

Di Jun and the Demon Race bowed again.

The Ancestor Reincarnation didn't seem to care much about the etiquette of Di Jun's Demon Race and Heavenly Court.

His words were full of threats against the Old Thief Hongjun, and he even called Old Thief Hongjun directly.

The events described in the Reincarnation naturally refer to the time when the gates of the Purple Heavens Palace were blocked.

The third lecture at the Purple Heavens Palace hasn't even started yet.

"Hmph! Reincarnation Daoist Friend, why didn't you speak up before I issued the decree?"

This Holy One has already issued a decree, and the Heavenly Dao Rules have recorded this matter.

This holy man cannot concede on this matter; at most, I will only share a portion of the merit with you.

The Heavenly Court is under my command, and the deduction of this Dao was also completed by my subordinates.

"If you don't agree, I will simply ensure that none of us receive this benefit."

Before the Heavenly Court, Hongjun still wanted to maintain his dignity Saint.

However, despite his desire to be powerful, Hongjun didn't really have much leverage to exert himself in front of the Ancestor Reincarnation.

Who told him to be weak? Who told him to be controlled by the Reincarnation?
