The Merit in His Hand Was No Longer Appealing

Fuxi and Di Jun both possessed great wisdom.

Naturally, they saw at a glance why Great Dao Merit had appeared...

Throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.

Aside from the Witch Clan, perhaps the Three Pure Ones could also summon the Remnant Will of Great God Pangu. After all, they had been formed from the division of Pangu's primordial spirit, and each possessed one-third of the Creation Mark!

But would they?

Obviously not.

Doing so would not only mean merging the Creation Marks in their hands, but also establishing the same great sect...

In the original course of events.

Even when the Three Pure Ones became saints, they had not chosen to do so!

"Enough!"

"Stop dreaming... Hurry and subdue the remnants of the former Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans. The more other races, the better. Bring them all into our Demon Clan!"

"Next will be the third sermon."

"The Dao Ancestor will explain how to become a saint and the method of attaining Primordial Origin. If we can use the fortune of founding our clan to become Quasi-Sages, perhaps we will gain even greater insight..."

Di Jun gave the order with a grave expression.

Taiyi immediately rose to his feet and hurriedly replied:

"Rest assured, Brother!"

"Our Demon Clan was originally an opportunity for all races of the Primordial Wilderness. We shelter them and open the Demon Dao for them. They should be grateful beyond measure. Why would they refuse to join?"

As he spoke.

Taiyi lightly tapped the Chaos Bell with his finger.

At once, the Chaos Bell quietly emitted a heavy, ancient aura, causing Fuxi and Nüwa's expressions to turn solemn. Only then did Taiyi smile and say:

"If there are any who fail to appreciate kindness..."

"First ask whether my Chaos Bell agrees!"

Fuxi could not help frowning.

The affairs of the Demon Clan had ultimately been Di Jun and Taiyi inviting him and his sister to join. The real initiative lay in the hands of the Di Jun brothers, but he still could not refrain from speaking:

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi..."

"We gather the myriad races under the name of Demon, sheltering and teaching them. This is originally an act of merit. I hope you will act with caution. If they truly do not wish to join, then let it be... If you forcibly suppress them, you will inevitably incur karma!"

Taiyi did not agree with this.

But before he could refute him, Di Jun directly smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi is absolutely right!"

"Taiyi, what we seek are like-minded companions, not slaves suppressed by your force..."

What else could Taiyi say?

He immediately cupped his hands toward the three of them!

"I understand!"

Then he departed from the dojo.

Di Jun did not leave. Instead, he sat facing Fuxi and Nüwa and began discussing the Dao. The task of the three of them was to develop cultivation methods suitable for the Demon Clan, to serve as the clan-protecting arts of their Demon Clan...

At the same time.

On Kunlun Mountain, after the strange phenomena between heaven and earth faded, the Three Pure Ones silently descended from the clouds and returned to their dojo!

All three were filled with countless thoughts.

As fellow members of the Orthodox Pangu Lineage, the Three Pure Ones had always felt that the Ancestral Witches acted without restraint, were excessively brutal, and even seemed ignorant of fate, as though they had no brains...

Yet today had deeply shaken them!

Great God Pangu had bestowed blessings upon them;

Then Dao Favor had descended!

In the end, the Heavenly Dao had even bestowed a vast amount of merit...

Although the Three Pure Ones possessed strong Dao hearts, they could not help feeling envious in the face of such circumstances. Their hearts remained unsettled for a long time!

Yuanshi Tianzun fell into thought.

Then he suddenly asked:

"Big Brother..."

"Do you think we might also have a chance to obtain a share of Great Dao Merit?"

Taiqing was stunned upon hearing this.

But he soon slowly shook his head and said to Yuanshi Tianzun:

"Do not think about it..."

"The Great Dao appeared because of Pangu. How are we supposed to summon Pangu?"

As he spoke, he directly looked toward Yuanshi and Tongtian.

The implication was clear: the three of them had been formed from the division of one primordial spirit. Could they possibly merge into one for the sake of Great Dao Merit?

Then Taiqing added blandly:

"Do not think so much..."

"Now that the Heavenly Dao has emerged, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun has attained sainthood, the Heavenly Dao is becoming ever more complete. In this Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao will ultimately govern all. We should cultivate properly and attain sainthood after the third sermon!"

"That is the proper path..."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Tongtian beside him also subconsciously responded. He too envied Great Dao Merit, but his attention had been drawn to another matter, and he muttered inwardly:

"Eh..."

"Where is that Wu Tian? The founding of the clan is such an important matter, yet that fellow did not appear?"

Back at Zixiao Palace.

Tongtian had already become curious. Wu Tian clearly held no low position within the Witch Clan; even the Ancestral Witches vaguely listened to him...

Yet his aura was completely restrained.

He did not possess the dense Baleful Qi of the Ancestral Witches!

Such a special existence had not shown himself when the Ancestral Witches founded their clan. Naturally, Tongtian found it extremely strange.

However, Tongtian was quite tactful.

Knowing that Yuanshi Tianzun was already deeply dissatisfied with Wu Tian and the Ancestral Witches because of what had happened earlier, he simply kept the matter in his heart and did not mention it aloud!

Afterward, the three also began cultivating.

Their conditions were far better than those of others. They did not need to painstakingly search as others did, for they themselves possessed the Great Dao...

Naturally, they had to cultivate properly.

They needed to raise their cultivation as quickly as possible and seize the opportunity of hearing the Dao at Zixiao Palace for the third time!

On Penglai Island.

Watching the strange phenomena between heaven and earth disappear, Duke of the East was stunned for a long time before finally saying to the many beings gathered below to hear the Dao:

"Continue..."

While the Primordial Wilderness was shaken by the Ancestral Witches founding their clan, Duke of the East had been imitating Dao Ancestor Hongjun and explaining the cultivation methods of the Immortal Dao to many beings!

He had originally wanted Queen Mother of the West to join him.

But Queen Mother of the West had firmly refused!

Duke of the East could only announce to the independent cultivators around Penglai and the East Sea that those interested in the Immortal Dao could come to Penglai to hear the Dao. Cultivation methods were scarce in the Primordial Wilderness at this time.

Not everyone possessed Bloodline Inheritance.

Thus, countless beings naturally came!

Just as he was speaking with great enthusiasm.

He was abruptly interrupted...

After resuming his sermon, Duke of the East suppressed the turmoil in his heart and explained the Immortal Dao cultivation methods he had summarized. Countless wondrous phenomena also appeared across Penglai Island!

But when he reached the Mystic Immortal realm.

Duke of the East finally could not hold back any longer. He slowly stopped and calmly said to the many beings below:

"This sermon will end here for now..."

"After I finish hearing the Dao at Zixiao Palace, I will explain the cultivation methods above the Golden Immortal realm to you!"

Though everyone was reluctant.

They did not dare say anything further. They hurriedly kowtowed to Duke of the East, thanking him for the grace of transmitting the Dao and imparting teachings...

Duke of the East could be considered the first person after Hongjun to preach the Dao across the lands of the Primordial Wilderness. Furthermore, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had intentionally supported him. Immediately, the power of the Heavenly Dao surged forth, giving rise to golden-black light.

A large share of Heavenly Dao Merit descended!

Duke of the East gathered this Heavenly Dao Merit, but his mind suddenly recalled the Dao Favor that had abruptly appeared after the Ancestral Witches announced their founding to heaven and earth, as well as the vast merit the Heavenly Dao had bestowed afterward...

The moment he thought of it.

The merit in his hand instantly no longer seemed appealing!

Duke of the East pondered inwardly, and a thought suddenly arose:

"Should I imitate them?"

He did not wish to found a clan.

Rather, he wanted to establish a force and gather many Immortal Dao cultivators on Penglai Island. As the thought arose, inspiration struck him, and Duke of the East softly murmured:

"Celestial Court?"
