"Could this be part of the scheme of that Old Thief Hongjun?"
"What strategic gains do they intend to achieve by exploiting internal strife within their own Daoist Tradition to initiate a new Tribulation?"
Inside the Ancestor Reincarnation's Daoist Arena, the Ancestor Reincarnation looked at the wisps of Calamity Qi emanating from outside Penglai Immortal Island and began to make calculations.
The reactions of other Hunyuan Celestial Venerable to Reincarnation are basically the same.
They all began to calculate when they saw the Calamity Qi arise.
"This great war Heavenly Court and the Immortal Court is indeed the prelude to the Witch-Demon Calamity, which was planned and instigated by the Old Thief Hongjun."
Only a few Eon passed since the calamity between immortals and demons, yet a new Calamity Qi has already arisen.
However, this time it's fortunate that you, elder brother, planned ahead; the course of this calamity is no longer under the control of that Old Thief Hongjun."
Within the body of Taichu in Kunlun Mountain, both Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao were somewhat angry.
Once the Tribulation begins, it will bring another catastrophe and destruction to the Primordial Wilderness.
Inside the Purple Heavens Palace, Hongjun watched with satisfaction as the Calamity Qi was generated.
However, after seeing the battlefield situation, Hongjun couldn't help but frown.
On the battlefield, the Demon Race army led by Tai Yi suffered repeated defeats under the siege of the Immortal Court.
One by one, the Demon Race were slain and fed to the fish of the Eastern Sea.
Tai Yi himself was besieged by six quasi-saints and suffered repeated defeats.
It was clear that Tai Yi was about to perish in this first Immortal-Demon War.
However, the other quasi-saints of the Demon Race were completely unable to spare any effort to rescue Tai Yi.
"If I hadn't paid attention for a while, how did the Immortal Court develop into such a powerful force?"
They've actually become able to rival the Heavenly Court!
No, Tai Yi can't die in this battle.
I must step in to protect Tai Yi, and the main force of the Demon Race must also protect him; we cannot afford to lose too many.
Otherwise, the Demon Race's Heavenly Court will suffer a severe blow.
Hongjun's figure flashed and disappeared from the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace. A moment later, Hongjun's figure appeared in the sky above the Eastern Sea.
A divine aura permeated the sky above the Eastern Sea.
At this moment, the six Quasi-Saints of the Immortal Court were preparing to kill Tai Yi.
"My life is over! Brother, avenge me!"
Seeing the six quasi-saints launch their killing moves against him, he realized he was already severely injured and powerless to resist.
Tai Yi let out a mournful cry.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, Di Jun was watching the great battle in the Eastern Sea using the Heavenly Mirror.
Seeing that Tai Yi was about to perish as a Quasi-Saint of the Immortal Court, Di Jun was filled with grief.
"No!"
"Die, Tai Yi! This credit belongs to us!"
The six Quasi-Saints of the Immortal Court looked excited, and their attacks became even more powerful.
That was a desire for achievement.
"Very well, very well! You all deserve the greatest credit for slaying Tai Yi!"
Penglai Immortal Island, the Dong Wang Gong watched the situation outside the gate with immense excitement.
Just when countless powerful figures thought that Tai Yi, the Golden Crow, was about to bathe in the Eastern Sea.
A terrifying divine might pressed down on the Eastern Sea.
Wherever the divine might reached, both the Demon Race and the Immortal Clan race seemed to have time frozen.
Whether they were Golden Immortal or Quasi-Saints, their movements were completely frozen at this moment, with only their thoughts still running.
Hongjun directly used his divine might to freeze the movement of both sides in the battle.
This ability is similar to time freezing or space blocking, but it does not involve time and space.
This is merely one effect of the Saint's Pressure.
This shows that the saying "below the Saint, all are ants" is not an empty phrase.
"The Heavenly Court of the Demon Race and the Immortal Clan Immortal Court of the Immortal Race have arbitrarily started wars and disrupted the order of the Primordial Wilderness."
I, Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao Saint, hereby order you all to immediately cease hostilities and return to your respective territories.
From this day forward, the immortal and demon races shall not wage war again for ten thousand years after the end of my third lecture!
Hongjun's voice rang out in the Eastern Sea, and then spread throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.
Regardless of the reactions from the Immortal Court, the Heavenly Court, and other parties, Hongjun directly swept up all the Demon Race of the Eastern Sea and sent them back to the Heavenly Court.
Hongjun himself quickly returned to the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace.
"This is truly the style of that Old Thief Hongjun; it's obvious he's taking sides."
It seems that the Demon Race is the one that Hongjun truly supports.
Since that's the case, then I will not allow you Hongjun, to succeed.
Hongjun, didn't you want to trigger the Tribulation? What are you plotting within Tribulation?
Well, I'll make sure you don't get your way.
If you want to support the Demon Race's Heavenly Court, then I will support the Immortal Clan's Immortal Court!
Reincarnation, the Five Elements, Yin Yang, Qiankun and Earth—each and every one of these Hunyuan Celestial Venerable understands Hongjun.
After observing Hongjun's actions, some clues emerged.
They directly decided to secretly support the Immortal Clan Immortal Court.
Hong Yun is a disciple of the Five Elements, Zhen Yuanzi is a disciple of Yang Mei, Nuwa is a disciple of Creation, Fuxi is a disciple of Qiankun.
These beings, without needing to discuss it, immediately reached an agreement and decided to secretly support the Immortal Court.
Their disciples could serve as a link for them to support the Immortal Clan Immortal Court.
They'd be more than happy to cause trouble for that Old Thief Hongjun.
The beings of the Primordial Wilderness world naturally saw through Saint Hongjun's biased behavior.
However, they dared not speak ill of the Saint Hongjun in private.
After all, they were just there to watch the show; if they were to discuss Hongjun the Saint in private, Hongjun would be slapped to death by Saint.
Then all their years of hard work would have been in vain.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, Di Jun watched the scene reflected in the Heavenly Mirror with a broad smile.
Not long afterward, Tai Yi appeared in the Heavenly Court with his remaining troops.
Meanwhile, on Penglai Immortal Island in the Eastern Sea, the Dong Wang Gong's expression was extremely grim.
Dong Wang Gong naturally saw through Hongjun Saint's biased behavior.
"Why!? Why is this happening? Why would Saint Hongjun help the Demon Race's Heavenly Court?"
Clearly, I, the Dong Wang Gong, am the Head of Male Immortals in the Primordial Wilderness, personally appointed by the Saint Hongjun!
"If my Immortal Court is defeated, will Saint Hongjun not intervene to stop it?!"
The Dong Wang Gong felt extremely angry, but dared not express it.
If he dared to express his dissatisfaction with Saint Hongjun, he might be slapped to death by Saint Hongjun at any moment.
He had witnessed Hongjun freezing the actions of both the immortals and demons.
He, the Dong Wang Gong Tai Yi, believed himself to be no less than Tai Yi, but also not much stronger.
Even Tai Yi's mobility was easily frozen by the Saint Hongjun, so what could Dong Wang Gong possibly do?
However, Dong Wang Gong always respected Hongjun the Saint and always thought of Hongjun the Saint in everything he did.
Hongjun's actions truly chilled the heart of the Dong Wang Gong.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, why is the Saint Hongjun taking sides and helping the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race?"
Is it simply because the Heavenly Court represents the orthodox way of Heavenly Dao?
Or perhaps, the fact that Saint Hongjun personally appointed Fellow Dong Wang Gong as the Head of Male Immortals of the Primordial Wilderness was all a scheme?
While the Dong Wang Gong feared Hongjun, the other four Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Court did Hongjun.
Just as the Dong Wang Gong was forcibly suppressing his anger, a voice came from outside the main hall.
Its voice came from the Hong Yun.
What seemed unintentional was actually a deliberate act to let the Dong Wang Gong overhear.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, your guess is very likely. Saint Hongjun is probably plotting against Fellow Dong Wang Gong."
The Saint Hongjun likely wanted to achieve some kind of goal through Dong Wang Gong Daoist.
Thanks to the support of Fellow Daoists Fellow Daoist Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, the Immortal Court has become so powerful.
Otherwise, in this Immortal-Demon War and Immortal Clan Immortal Court would likely have already been defeated.
