Poor East King Duke

Looking again at the Sun Star, Di Jun threw back his head and laughed. "Taiyi, how did you think to throw out that line? After that one sentence, even if East King Duke doesn't die, he'll be stripped of a layer of skin."

Yun Ting directly jumped out and said, "Mm, I was the one who told Fellow Daoist Taiyi to say it. Hehe, you have to know, our goal is to establish the Demon Court. We're bound to clash with East King Duke's Immortal Court, so it's good to let him start fighting the Wu Clan first..."

Di Jun nodded. "But... the Wu Clan won't be impulsive enough to kill that fellow, will they? After all, he's the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. Though my second brother and I find that bastard thoroughly irritating, we still didn't dare go so far as to kill him."

Yun Ting stroked his chin. "How about this? If the Wu Clan doesn't kill that bastard East King Duke, I'll kill him. I had some karmic entanglements with him back then. Even if killing him deducts Merit, it won't affect me much—I can withstand it. After all, I don't intend to take the path of Severing the Corpse."

Hearing this, Taiyi asked in confusion, "Could it be that you intend to... attain Dao through Laws?"

Yun Ting nodded, then looked at Taiyi. "Naturally. I was born with innate wisdom, and my mastery of the Dao is profound—even greater than my father's. Why can't I attain Dao through Laws?" After saying that, he even gave an honest, guileless smile.

Yun Ting then directly communicated with the system. "Check Taiyi's traits."

[Name: Emperor Taiyi]

[Cultivation: Late Quasi-Saint]

[Traits: Demon Race Emperor (Red), Chaos Bell Control (Red), Taiyi Rotation (Purple), Demon Emperor's Might (Purple), Ruler of the Heavenly Realm (Purple, Unactivated)...] These traits are powerful. Though he is not fated to possess Primordial Violet Qi, if he cultivates properly, a Primordial Great Luo is within reach. Current trust level: 70. Cannot be extracted; can be copied.

The system's voice rang out in Yun Ting's Sea of Consciousness.

Hearing the system say this, Yun Ting immediately asked, "How can I help Taiyi increase his strength?"

"I have the general outline of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Great Law, but... you'll have to complete later tasks to obtain it. For now, focus on planning for Merit and traits." The system answered casually.

Hearing this, Yun Ting immediately took the advice and said to Di Jun, "During this attack on the Wu Clan, I discovered a problem. Without the Twelve Ancestral Witches present, it was still difficult for us to directly crush the Wu Clan completely. It seems our Demon Race's combat strength is still insufficient."

Taiyi shook his head. "Big Brother told me not to directly slaughter all the Great Wus of the Wu Clan, lest those barbarians go mad."

Di Jun nodded. "Exactly. If we really slaughtered them all, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches went mad, even East King Duke alone might not be enough to hold them back. Besides, the Wu Clan has only physical bodies and does not cultivate Primordial Spirits. This time, we left every one of them wounded. To recover, they can only slowly heal using Earth Veins Sha Qi. It'll take at least one Yuan Hui. With their minds constantly battered by Sha Qi... they'll definitely grow stupider and stupider. Isn't that a good thing?"

Yun Ting wore a baffled expression. "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Di Jun thinks the Wu Clan is too smart even now? That they need to become even stupider? Why do I feel that isn't really necessary?"

Di Jun chuckled. "With one Yuan Hui for development, the Wu Clan reproduces slowly. But as for our Demon Race... how many more experts can we produce?"

Yun Ting was immediately shocked upon hearing this, thinking, Heh, Di Jun truly is one of the Demon Race's rare wise men. His brain really works... System, help me check Di Jun's traits.

"Ding, Di Jun's traits are as follows:

[Name: Di Jun]

[Cultivation: Quasi-Saint Peak]

[Traits: Heavenly Emperor's Majesty (Purple, Unactivated), Solar Divine Fire (Red), Di Jun's Divine Eyes (Red), Heavenly Realm Laws (Gold), Demon Race Wisdom (Gold)...]

"

"Holy shit, System, can't you find me someone whose wisdom I can extract? I want to get myself a brain that works too." Yun Ting asked the system.

"Ahem, this... this system is powerless to help. Who told you that, in terms of intelligence, you take after your father? If you took after your mother, you might be much better off... Er, I didn't say anything just now." As it spoke, the system realized it had let something slip and instantly shut up.

"Er, I have a mother too? Does this body of mine have some secret?" Hearing this, Yun Ting hurriedly followed up on what the system had said.

"Er... I really can't say. I promised someone I wouldn't tell you, so stop asking. Task issued: establish the Demon Court, travel beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, and find the location of the Demon Court. Reward: three Sword Dao Law Fragments." The system hurriedly changed the subject and issued the task.
