Di Jun's Decision
Time flies.
Since making the promise with his ten nephews, Taiyi has been keeping his word.
Every so often, whenever the Little Golden Crows made even a slight improvement in their cultivation, he would select the one who performed best and take him out for a trip as a reward.
Today, the appointed day has arrived once again.
This time, Sixth Golden Crow have emerged, the most lively and unrestrained of them all.
"Uncle, let's hurry!"
"The Primordial Land is so much fun! Much more interesting than the Heavenly Court!"
The Sixth Golden Crow transformed into a long golden Long Rainbow, weaving through the clouds at incredible speed, their voices brimming with barely concealed excitement.
Taiyi followed behind him, a gentle smile on his face, letting him run around freely.
"If you like it, that's good."
"But remember, you can't wander off; you must stay close to me."
"Uncle, I understand!" Sixth Golden Crow nodded obediently.
The Sixth Prince verbally agreed, but his speed did not decrease at all.
The vastness and vitality of the Primordial Land fascinated him immensely.
Everything here is far more interesting than the cold, impersonal palaces of Heavenly Court.
He would sometimes swoop down, skimming over the massive mountains, startling a flock of birds into flight.
Sometimes Yunxiao, playing with the fierce winds.
They were having a blast.
Taiyi simply followed quietly behind him, protecting him and ensuring that no danger would occur.
Just as Sixth Golden Crow was having a great time, he suddenly stopped.
His gaze was drawn to a colossal peak that seemed to reach the Tongtian and the earth in the distant sky.
The towering peaks soared into the clouds, majestic and magnificent, as if supporting the entire world.
"Uncle! What mountain is that?"
"So tall! So big! It's almost piercing the sky!"
"Let's go take a look!"
He pointed to the colossal pillar, his face filled with longing.
However, Taiyi's expression turned serious the moment he saw the giant pillar.
"You're not allowed to go!"
His tone was sterner than ever before.
The Sixth Golden Crow were startled and looked back at Taiyi with some grievance, not understanding why their Uncle was reacting so strongly.
"We absolutely cannot go there!" Taiyi's expression turned extremely serious.
"Why?" Sixth Golden Crow asked, puzzled.
"Because that's Buzhou Mountain."
"That's the territory of the Wu Clan."
Sixth Golden Crow was taken aback. He had heard his Father Emperor and Uncle mention the term "Wu Clan" many times, and each time their expressions were very solemn.
Taiyi's expression was very serious.
"The stronghold of the Wu Clan, now the largest clan in the Primordial Wilderness, is located there."
"Remember my words: from now on, no matter which of you comes to the Primordial Wilderness to play, you are absolutely not allowed to approach Buzhou Mountain even half a step."
"And you absolutely must not clashed with any member of the Wu Clan, do you hear me?"
To emphasize the seriousness of the matter, he added another sentence.
"Do you know that the original entrance to our Demon Clan's Heavenly Court was located atop Buzhou Mountain?"
"It was precisely to avoid unnecessary friction with the Wu Clan that your Father Emperor and I expended Great Dharma Power to move the entrance to the Heavenly Court to the Nine Heavens Above."
"Just so I can stay far away from them."
The Sixth Golden Crow nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Although he was young, he knew that his Father Emperor and Uncle were the most powerful beings in this Primordial Wilderness.
The strength of a race that inspires such fear in them is unimaginable.
"Are the Wu Clan... really that powerful?"
He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Uncle, you just said that the Wu Clan is the largest clan in the Primordial Wilderness, so what about our Demon Clan?"
Where do we rank?
This question caused Taiyi to fall silent for a moment.
He gazed at Buzhou Mountain and slowly uttered two words.
"Second."
"Apart from the Wu Clan, no one in the entire Primordial Wilderness dares to easily offend our Demon Clan."
"Therefore, you must remember my words."
"Never provoke the Wu Clan."
Sixth Golden Crow nodded vigorously.
"Uncle, I'll remember that!"
Although he was disappointed that he couldn't go to the most fun places, he also realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Alright, don't think about it so much. Your Uncle will take you to other places to play."
"Yay!"
Upon hearing that they could go out and have fun again, Sixth Golden Crow immediately put the matter of the Wu Clan out of his mind.
"Uncle, let's go take a look to the east! I've heard there are huge fish in the East Sea!"
"Okay, let's go to the East Sea."
Taiyi smiled, leading the Sixth Golden Crow, which transformed into two Long Rainbow and flew eastward.
Just as Taiyi was taking the Sixth Golden Crow to travel and enjoy themselves on the Primordial Land.
Heavenly Court.
After finishing his day's work, Di Jun suddenly felt like checking on his sons' progress in their cultivation.
However, when he entered the palace, he found the nine little ones chasing and playing around, showing no signs of cultivation whatsoever.
Di Jun's face immediately darkened.
What are you doing?!
Why aren't you cultivating properly!
The nine little Little Golden Crow were startled by the sudden reprimand and all stopped in their tracks, looking at their Father Emperor in fear.
Di Jun glanced around, and his brows immediately furrowed.
Where's the sixth brother?
The Little Golden Crows looked at each other, and finally the Great Golden Crow, steeling itself, stepped forward and answered in a low voice.
"Reporting to Father Emperor, my sixth brother... was taken out to play by Uncle."
"Going out to play?"
Di Jun's face instantly darkened.
"Taiyi!"
"Great! Excellent!"
"I asked him to supervise your cultivation, and this is how he supervised it?"
"How dare they bring them down to the mortal realm without permission!"
"This is utter nonsense!"
The Little Golden Crows trembled with fear at Di Jun's wrath, each lowering their heads and daring not to utter a word.
Di Jun ignored them.
He turned and walked out of the palace, standing outside and waiting quietly.
He wanted to see when his dear younger brother would finally be willing to come back!
I don't know how much time passed.
Two Dao Body appeared on the horizon; they were Taiyi and the Sixth Golden Crow.
"Uncle, today was so much fun! You have to bring me again next time!"
The Sixth Golden Crow were still savoring the day's journey, chattering away incessantly.
Taiyi smiled and agreed.
"Alright, as long as you cultivate diligently, your Uncle will bring you again next time."
The two flew towards the palace, chatting and laughing.
But when they saw Di Jun standing at the palace gate with a gloomy expression, their laughter stopped abruptly.
"Elder Brother..."
Taiyi's heart skipped a beat.
The Sixth Golden Crow were so frightened that they hid behind Taiyi, only daring to peek out a small head and timidly call out.
"Father Emperor..."
Di Jun didn't look at Taiyi; he stared intently at the Sixth Golden Crow.
"You actually know how to come back?"
Did you have fun?
His tone was calm, yet it sent shivers down Sixth Golden Crow's spine.
"I... I was wrong, Father Emperor."
"Wrong?"
Di Jun sneered.
Where did you go wrong?
The Ninth Prince stammered and couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Di Jun's anger finally erupted.
He suddenly turned to Taiyi and shouted at him sternly.
"Taiyi!"
"Is this the result of your supervision?"
"I told you to watch them cultivate! And you, instead, took him to the Primordial Continent to live a carefree life!"
Taiyi quickly explained.
"Elder Brother, listen to me."
"Sixth Brother has been cultivating very diligently lately and has made great progress. I just wanted to reward him a little; work and rest should be balanced..."
"Taiyi, you've disappointed me so much!"
"You're simply not fit to teach them!"
Your overindulgence will only harm them.
"From today onwards, you no longer need to worry about those ten."
Taiyi was startled upon hearing this.
"Elder Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Di Jun looked at him coldly and said, word by word.
"I have decided to send all ten of them to Tanggu Valley!"
"What?!"
Taiyi gasped in shock.
"Elder Brother! No! The environment in Tanggu Valley is so harsh; they are just children, how can they endure it!"
Tanggu Valley, the core of the Sun Star, is the birthplace of the two brothers, and is filled with the most Origin Essence and violent True Sun Fire.
"You have to bear it, even if you can't!"
"Only in that kind of place can they grow up the fastest!"
Di Jun's attitude was absolutely resolute.
"When they can control their own True Sun Fire at will, then they will be allowed to return to Heavenly Court!"
"Elder Brother!" Taiyi wanted to persuade him again.
"You don't need to say anything more!"
"That's settled then."
Di Jun stared at him coldly.
After saying that, he waved his sleeve and directly swept up the Sixth Golden Crow hiding behind Taiyi, sending them back to the palace.
Then he turned around and left without looking back.
Taiyi out his hand, wanting to say something, but the words turned into a powerless sigh.
He knew that once his Elder Brother made a decision, no one could change it.
