Zhunti Makes a Move

Tanggu Valley.

The core of the Sun Star, the place where the Fusang Divine Tree took root.

This is the source of endless flames, filled with the most violent Primordial Sun Power.

Even Daluo Golden Immortal wouldn't dare to set foot here lightly.

Di Jun remained expressionless, and with a wave of his hand, he set up layers of Restrictions, completely sealing off the entire Tanggu Valley.

The array's light flowed, isolating the inside from the outside.

"From this day forward, you ten shall cultivate diligently here!"

"Only when I can control my own True Sun Fire at will can I leave this place."

Subsequently, he dispatched tens of thousands of elite Demon Clan to garrison the area.

They were strictly ordered to guard this place and not allow the Ten Crown Princes to step out of Tanggu Valley.

Having done all this, Di Jun returned to the Heavenly Court with a cold face and without looking back.

The ten little Little Golden Crow watched their father's departing figure, then looked at the raging world of flames before them.

Silently, it flew up to the enormous Fusang Divine Tree and perched on a branch.

In the Primordial Wilderness, years were not recorded.

Ten Thousand Years passed in the blink of an eye.

For the first ten thousand years, Di Jun and Taiyi were still worried.

He would personally visit Tanggu Valley once every thousand years.

They watched as the ten Little Golden Crow gradually adapted to the harsh environment and their cultivation improved day by day, and only then did they gradually feel at ease.

Thus, the frequency of visits gradually changed from once every thousand years to once every ten thousand years.

Each visit reinforced Di Jun's belief that his decision was correct.

Only through such trials can they truly mature and shoulder the heavy responsibility for the future of the Demon Clan.

All of this was clearly seen by a pair of eyes in the distant the West.

Mount Sumeru.

The Daoist Zhunti sat cross-legged, his face revealing undisguised excitement.

The opportunity has finally arrived!

He had been waiting for this day for far too long.

From the moment Di Jun sent his ten sons to Tanggu Valley, he knew that his opportunity had arrived!

But he was very patient.

He was like a Gao Ming hunter, lying in wait, observing every move of his prey.

He had figured out the pattern of Di Jun and Taiyi's visits, which had changed from once every thousand years to once every ten thousand years.

He waited for tens of thousands of years.

After Di Jun and Taiyi finished visiting the Little Golden Crow and turned to leave, Zhunti could no longer hide the smile on his face.

But he still didn't act immediately.

He patiently waited for another thousand years.

A thousand years is but a fleeting moment for beings like them.

But for Zhunti, this thousand-year wait was to ensure absolute success!

A thousand years later, the time has come for Zhunti to confirm.

"Senior brother, the Shichen has come; I must make my move."

Zhunti spoke to Jieyin beside him.

Jieyin a long sigh.

"Junior brother, be careful in everything you do."

If anything is incorrect, return it immediately; do not force it.

"Don't worry, senior brother!"

Zhunti was full of confidence.

"A mere Restrictions can't stop me."

After saying that, his figure disappeared silently from Mount Sumeru.

The next moment, they appeared outside Tanggu Valley.

Looking at the powerful Restrictions set up by Di Jun himself, Zhunti's face showed a hint of disdain.

"A trivial skill."

If it's a direct confrontation, he might have to put in some effort.

But it only quietly opened a small gap...

For Saint like him, it was as easy as turning his hand.

He didn't break the formation with brute force; he simply extended a finger and gently tapped the void.

At his fingertips, the Law flowed, silently tearing open a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through in the seemingly impregnable formation.

The entire process did not cause the slightest energy fluctuation, and even the guarding Demon Clan were completely unaware of it.

Within the Tanggu Valley.

On the Fusang Divine Tree, ten little Little Golden Crow were perched on the branches, chatting idly.

"Ugh, so boring!"

"When will this ever end?!"

The most lively of the Sixth Golden Crow spoke first, his tone full of annoyance.

"All I do every day is cultivate, I'm going crazy! I really want to go out and have some fun!"

"That's right!"

The Seventh Golden Crow immediately echoed this.

"The Primordial Continent is so vast, with so many fun places, yet we're stuck in this wretched place!"

"Say less, everyone!"

The leading Great Golden Crow frowned and reprimanded.

"Father Emperor did this for our own good."

"Haven't you noticed how much stronger our control over the True Sun Fire has become compared to before?"

"Once we have complete control over the True Sun Fire, we will naturally be able to leave!"

"Brother, stop with the high-sounding words!"

Second Golden Crow curled his lip.

"Do you dare say you don't want to leave? Do you dare say you're not tired of staying here?"

The other Golden Crow also joined in the commotion.

"I..."

The Great Golden Crow was rendered speechless by their words; how could he not want to leave?

But he dared not disobey his Father Emperor's orders.

Just as the ten brothers were arguing, a gentle figure appeared silently in front of them.

"Who?!"

The ten little Little Golden Crow instantly became alert, flames rising Surrounding Body as they all turned to look at the newcomer.

To their horror, they discovered that the visitor was a Daoist priest with a somber expression, dressed in a Daoist robe, whom they did not recognize at all.

"Who are you?!"

The Great Golden Crow questioned sharply.

"How did you get in?!"

Zhunti his hands together, a compassionate smile on his face.

"Your Crown Prince, there is no need to panic."

"This humble Daoist has come here specifically on the orders of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor Your Majesty."

"My Father Emperor's orders?"

The Great Golden Crow looked on in disbelief.

"Why would my Father Emperor send you? We don't even know you!"

"There are heavy guards outside, how did you get in!"

Upon Zhunti this, Zhunti's smile deepened.

He spread his hands, looking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Your Crown Prince, this is precisely the crux of the matter."

"The Restrictions here were personally set up by His Majesty the Your Majesty Heavenly Emperor, and their power is boundless."

"If I hadn't been acting on His Your Majesty's orders and with His Your Majesty's permission, how could I have entered this place so quietly?"

Upon hearing this, all ten little Little Golden Crow were stunned.

yes...

Who, besides him and his Uncle, could possibly enter the formation set up by his Father Emperor?

Since this person was able to get in, it means... he's telling the truth?

Zhunti took in their expressions and knew they were already seven-tenths convinced.

He continued in that seductive tone.

"His Your Majesty is well aware of the arduous training these Crown Prince are undergoing, and he cannot bear to see them suffer like this."

He said, "I was indeed too harsh on you before."

"Therefore, I have specially ordered you to come and break the Restrictions, allowing you to go out and have some fun, as compensation."

As he said this, a slight hint of his Saint aura was revealed.

An invisible, bewitching aura of Saint quietly emanated, enveloping the ten little Little Golden Crow.

"Really? That's great!"

The little ones, who were already eager to go out and play, immediately cheered.

"Did Father Emperor really let us go out and play?"

"Of course it's true."

Zhunti nodded with a smile.

"How dare this humble Daoist priest falsely convey His Your Majesty's decree?"

"Very good!"

"I knew Father Emperor still loved us!"

Apart from the Great Golden Crow and a few others who still had doubts, most of the Little Golden Crow were already cheering with joy.

"But..."

The Great Golden Crow still felt something was amiss.

"My Uncle made an agreement with us before, that even when we go out to play, only one person can go at a time."

"Ten of us going out together... this isn't the rule!"

Upon hearing this, the Little Golden Crows, who had just been so excited, suddenly hesitated again.

Zhunti, however, waved his hand calmly and smiled.

"Your Crown Prince is overthinking it."

"Times have changed."

"The past is the past, the present is the present. His Your Majesty has personally granted permission for you Ten Crown Princes to travel together in the Primordial Wilderness!"

"This... this is a reward for your years of arduous training!"

His words completely dispelled the last shred of doubt from all the Little Golden Crow.

"Very good!"

"Let's go! I can't wait!"

"The Primordial Continent! Here I come!"

The ten little Little Golden Crow, like ten little suns freed from their confinement, excitedly rushed Zhunti the gap in the formation that Zhunti had opened for them.

Watching them leave, the sorrow and gentleness on Zhunti's face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold smile.

With a wave of his sleeve, the gap in the Restrictions instantly returned to its original state, showing no trace of damage.

Then, he used a magic hand seal to completely erase all traces of his presence from the area.

After doing all this, he was still not at ease, so he used the Saint to completely disrupt the Heavenly Secrets of this place.

In this way, even if Saint were to arrive in person, he would have no chance of figuring out what exactly happened here.

"Hehe... Go ahead, have fun!"

"The bigger the commotion, the better..."

"Please, don't disappoint me."

After speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot, following closely behind the ten small suns, heading towards the direction of the Primordial Continent.

He wanted to personally oversee every step to ensure that nothing went wrong.
