As for Late Stage Quasi-Saint to the Quasi-Saint Peak, it requires accumulating countless amounts of magical power.
If we follow the Path of Three Corpses as described by Hongjun, Di Jun and Tai Yi can attain sainthood by merging their Three Corpses.
Unfortunately, the pit that Hongjun had dug long ago was only discovered by Di Jun and Tai Yi after all Three Corpses had been severed.
When they tried to fuse the Three Corpses, they discovered that the Three Corpses, which were inhabited by different source Lingbao, could not be fused at all.
Furthermore, some of the Lingbao used by the two brothers to Severing the Three Corpses conflicted, making fusion impossible.
If they are forcibly merged, it is highly likely that the Three Corpses will self-destruct.
The brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi could only harbor resentment towards Hongjun in their hearts, daring not to voice their grievances.
After all, the second Immortal-Demon War was just around the corner. If word got out, wouldn't the Heavenly Court just explode on the spot?
Besides the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, the Ten Great Demon Sages of Heavenly Court also severed their second corpses, and all of them advanced to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.
These were the other quasi-saints who later joined the Demon Race's Heavenly Court.
Many others, with the support of Heavenly Dao, severed their second corpse and advanced to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.
On the other hand, in the Immortal Court, after receiving the Primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi from Nuwa, the Dong Wang Gong has been in seclusion refining Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Dong Wang Gong tried, the Hongmeng Purple Qi remained unmoved and could not be refined even slightly.
The Dong Wang Gong wasted over 100,000 years, and he only managed to sever his second corpse, at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint level.
They are far inferior to the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi.
For over 100,000 years, the Immortal Court has been managed by four Immortal Emperors: Hong Yun Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi Nuwa.
Fortunately, with the support of the Immortal Court Hunyuan Celestial Venerable, seventeen Primordial Origin Golden Immortal entered the Immortal Court.
In addition, there was the secret support of the Sanqing Twelve Ancestral Witches, as well as the efforts of Hong Yun and the others.
This is why the Immortal Court was not overwhelmed by the Heavenly Court's overwhelming power.
Even so, of the twenty-one Quasi-Saints in the Immortal Court, excluding the Dong Wang Gong, only ten had their Corpse-Slaying Realm members advance to the mid-stage of Quasi-Sainthood.
Compared to the Immortal Court, the power of a mid-stage Quasi-Saint is far inferior.
Although seventeen Primordial Origin Golden Immortal joined the Immortal Court, the cultivation speed of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal is much slower than that of those who have severed their corpses.
The seventeen Primordial Origin Golden Immortal were only at the initial stage.
Fortunately, the combat power of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal is much stronger than that of a Quasi-Saint of the same realm.
If it weren't for the fact that the Early-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal early stage was greater than that of the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Court will undoubtedly win the second Immortal-Demon War.
Fortunately, Hong Yun Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi, Nuwa have all advanced to the Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
The Immortal Court appears to possess immense power.
"Damn it, that Old Thief Hongjun has gone too far in bullying me!"
This Hongmeng Purple Qi is indeed as Nuwa Fellow Daoist Fuxi said, completely impossible to refine.
Now that I have severed my corpse, I can no longer cultivate the Law Path.
"That Old Thief Hongjun has ruined me!"
On Penglai Immortal Island, in the imperial palace where the Dong Wang Gong resided, he finally gave up refining the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
At this moment, Dong Wang Gong's eyes revealed helplessness and resentment.
He was still muttering curses at Hongjun.
After receiving the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Nuwa shared some knowledge about the Hongmeng Purple Qi with the Dong Wang Gong.
Even the Hongmeng Purple Qi requires Hongjun's approval to be refined and one can become Heavenly Dao Saint.
If the Dong Wang Gong is unable to refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
That would mean that Hongjun didn't take him, the one he personally appointed as the head of the Primordial Wilderness Head of Male Immortals, seriously at all.
Even the appointment of Dong Wang Gong as the Head of Male Immortals in the Primordial Wilderness was part of Hongjun's scheme.
Here, Nuwa had naturally schemed against Dong Wang Gong, once again sowing discord between Hongjun and Dong Wang Gong.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi needs the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, not Hongjun.
However, there was no difference for the Dong Wang Gong.
The Dong Wang Gong was already very dissatisfied with what the Old Thief Hongjun had done in the Purple Heavens Palace.
He knew in his heart that Hongjun was plotting against him, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.
Now that he could no longer refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the last glimmer of hope in the Dong Wang Gong's heart was completely shattered.
"That Old Thief Hongjun, you want to scheme against me, and you want to use me to achieve certain goals."
I, the Emperor, will not let you have your way. From this day forward, I, the Emperor, shall be the representative of the immortals.
This Emperor will restrain the Primordial Wilderness world!
"You Old Thief Hongjun are nothing more than Immortal Ancestor; even I, the Emperor, must restrain you."
The Dong Wang Gong roared.
After Dong Wang Gong uttered those words, he immediately felt his mind clear and all the past events became clear in an instant.
When he was preparing to become a disciple of Yin Yang Celestial Venerable, his memories of being influenced and having his thinking altered by the Old Thief Hongjun were also revived.
At this moment, the Dong Wang Gong's face was as dark as charcoal.
"Damn it! If I had taken the Yin Yang Celestial Venerable as my master back then, would I be in this predicament now?"
Old Thief Hongjun, I will fight you to the death! In this Primordial Wilderness, it's either you or me.
This emperor will surely blast you from your position as the Immortal Ancestor.
No, I must utilize every available force.
Only in this way is there any possibility of replacing the Old Thief Hongjun.
Moreover, the Path of Three Corpses can no longer be cultivated; this is simply a huge pit dug by that Old Thief Hongjun!
At this moment, Dong Wang Gong seemed to have been reborn. In the past, everything before his eyes was shrouded in mist, but now his thoughts were clear.
"In this matter, I'm afraid we'll have to ask Fellow Daoist Hongyun and the others for help."
Their initial invitation for me to establish Immortal Court was also part of a scheme.
But Fellow Daoist Hongyun and the others have never mistreated me in the slightest.
Fellow Daoist Hongyun and the others shouldn't stand by and watch me die. Besides, if I were to die, it wouldn't benefit them in the slightest.
"I still have value to them, and they should be willing to lend a helping hand."
Having figured everything out, the Dong Wang Gong immediately headed towards Hong Yun's imperial palace without further hesitation.
It must be said that only now, after his complete awakening from despair, does the Dong Wang Gong truly resemble an Immortal Emperor.
It's as if it's been completely transformed into a different Soul.
Even though he realized he had been used by Hong Yun, he didn't become hysterical.
The current Dong Wang Gong is like a naive person who, after experiencing a major setback, matures completely in an instant.
"Fellow Dong Wang Gong, what brings you here?"
Fellow Daoist, aren't you refining the Hongmeng Purple Qi? Could it be that you've made progress already?
Upon seeing the Dong Wang Gong arrive, Hong Yun spoke with considerable confusion.
Hong Yun looked Dong Wang Gong up and down, and felt that Dong Wang Gong had undergone a complete transformation.
"Please, Fellow Daoist Hongyun, save me!"
Without giving Hong Yun any preparation, Dong Wang Gong knelt down on one knee with a thud and spoke in an extremely sincere voice.
Dong Wang Gong's action startled Hong Yun so much that she jumped up from her seat.
"What is the purpose of this, Fellow Dong Wang Gong?"
Rise quickly! We are both Celestial Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Court; why perform such a grand ceremony?
"If there's anything you need, Fellow Dong Wang Gong, just say the word. If it's Poor Daoist I can help with, I certainly will."
Hong Yun hurriedly tried to pull Dong Wang Gong up, but Dong Wang Gong seemed to be rooted to the spot and could not be lifted at all.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, I already know Poor Daoist."
That Old Thief Hongjun has gone too far in bullying me; he's been plotting against me all along.
Poor Daoist also know that when Fellow Daoist Hongyun came here with Zhen Yuanzi Daoist Zhenyuanzi, they established the Poor Daoist Immortal Clan and the Immortal Court together.
It was all your scheme Fellow Daoist Hongyun.
But Poor Daoist am completely unconcerned about your schemes, Fellow Daoist Hongyun.
Furthermore, from now on, if you, fellow Fellow Daoist Hongyun, simply give the word, Poor Daoist will obey your every command.
