Nan Ji knew that, in the end, the Immortal Court would still be destroyed.
But that didn't stop him from getting angry.
Those two who looked down on people, Nan Ji grew more and more furious the more he thought about it.
So, he bid farewell to the Three Pure Ones and came to the back hall of his own Changsheng Hall.
He had to complain to Hongjun and see what Hongjun's attitude was.
Thus, wiping Hongjun's image, arranging spiritual fruits, and lighting incense and candles was done in one go.
Watching the incense and candles begin to burn, Nan Ji started to grumble, "My Ancestor Master, please open your eyes and see, that Immortal Court..."
On the other side, on the Sun Star.
Di Jun, who had returned from listening to the Dao in Purple霄 Palace, finally broke through to the early stage of Quasi-Saint cultivation.
But after consolidating his cultivation, he didn't choose to come out of seclusion immediately. Instead, he took out a treasure crucial to his grand plan—the Treasure Dropping Coin.
As he broke through to Quasi-Saint, he felt even more strongly that his Dao was the Dao of the Emperor.
Therefore, he couldn't wait to refine the Treasure Dropping Coin. As the refining process gradually completed, his expression became more and more unsightly.
"Pfft!"
The moment Di Jun finished refining it completely, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of vital blood.
At the same time, the Treasure Dropping Coin was completely refined, turning into a stream of light and flying into Di Jun's body.
"Big Brother!"
Tai Yi rushed forward and said.
Di Jun ignored Tai Yi, his brows still tightly furrowed, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
Especially the hands placed on his legs began to shake uncontrollably, and the sweat dripping from his forehead fell like a light rain.
Seeing this, Tai Yi didn't dare to startle Di Jun any further.
Instead, he extended his right hand, summoned the Eastern Emperor Bell, and then tossed it towards Di Jun's head.
As the Eastern Emperor Bell reached above them, it continued to grow larger, enveloping them both.
Hum~
Hum~~
Hum~~~
Three consecutive bell tolls emanated from the Sun Star, echoing throughout the Great Desolation, sparking curiosity in many powerful beings.
But then, they found that their divine senses couldn't penetrate the Eastern Emperor Bell, so they all gave up on the idea.
It was Di Jun, however, who, with the boost from the Eastern Emperor Bell, gradually recovered his contorted expression.
"Hoo..."
Di Jun let out a long sigh before slowly opening his eyes.
"Big Brother, how do you feel? Does this treasure have a problem?"
Tai Yi said with a face full of malevolence.
"Yes and no."
Di Jun nodded, but also shook his head, and then said, "This is a good thing for both of us brothers."
"Then this..." Tai Yi was confused by Di Jun's words.
Then, Di Jun told Tai Yi the mystery of the Treasure Dropping Coin.
It turned out that after Di Jun finished refining it, he discovered that a massive amount of karma had been transferred from the Treasure Dropping Coin to him.
And this karma was generated by the Karmic Demon God before the creation of the world.
Therefore, in that instant, Di Jun almost couldn't bear it, and it was only with the help of the Eastern Emperor Bell, one of the three treasures of creation, that he gradually adapted to the monstrous power of karma.
Of course, Nan Ji didn't know any of this.
He also didn't know that Xiao Sheng, whom he thought he had a good relationship with, actually wanted him to bear this karma.
However, Di Jun never feared difficulties. On the contrary, the Treasure Dropping Coin indeed had a miraculous effect.
Especially now that the Dao Ancestor had passed down the method of "slashing the corpse with spiritual treasures" to the beings of the Great Desolation, this spiritual treasure would have a miraculous effect in leading the demon race.
Thinking this, Di Jun's previously vague ideal became even clearer.
"Let's go, come with me to the chaos to find Teacher!"
Since they were not taken in as disciples by Hongjun, they could only call Hongjun "Teacher" based on their experience of listening to the Dao in Zixiao Palace.
"Big Brother, you..."
Tai Yi was a little stunned. Although he also understood the miraculous effect of the Treasure Dropping Coin, what did it have to do with the Dao Ancestor?
"If you and I want to unify the demon race, we must establish a power. But your brother worries that there will be conflicts with East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West, so we must obtain Teacher's approval," Di Jun patiently explained to him.
"But... isn't it too early now?"
Tai Yi naturally knew Di Jun had wanted this for a long time, but their current cultivation levels were only at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal for one and early Quasi-Saint for the other.
"If we don't find a way to attract destiny to suppress this karma, my cultivation will be stuck."
"But this treasure is the opportunity. It will definitely allow us to collect many spirit treasures for our demon race to use for severing corpses."
As Di Jun explained, Tai Yi's eyes lit up.
Thus, the two brothers hurried towards the chaos.
On the other side, as Nan Ji muttered before Hongjun's statue, he noticed a beam of light emanate from the statue, which then pulled him in.
"Oh my, I never realized your feelings for this old Daoist were so deep. Amazing."
It was the same familiar formula, the same familiar feeling.
Nan Ji chuckled awkwardly and shamelessly said, "Ancestor Master, your disciple was just feeling extremely wronged and had no choice but to pour out his troubles to you?"
Upon hearing this, the Dao Ancestor revealed a hint of a sneer. "What, you want to make a move against East King Duke? With your current cultivation, your ambitions are quite lofty! This old Daoist admires you, truly admires you!"
Speaking of his meager cultivation, Nan Ji felt a pang in his heart.
Originally, he was someone who diligently cultivated, following the proper steps. But after the Ren Water Immortal Peach and the Dao Ancestor's sermon to improve his cultivation, who would still be willing to toil away in arduous practice?
Therefore, Nan Ji didn't hide anything from the Dao Ancestor and stated frankly, "Dao Ancestor, at best I can only reach the peak of Quasi-Saint. What's the use of cultivating further?"
Seeing Nan Ji's honesty, the Dao Ancestor nodded. "Actually, there really is an opportunity for you!"
"How?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Ji's eyes widened in excitement.
"Come sit by my side!"
"Alright!"
Hearing the Dao Ancestor's words, Nan Ji didn't refuse. He took off his shoes and was about to climb onto the high platform where the Dao Ancestor was sitting.
"Hiss, whose pickled vegetables are ready? The aroma~ is so pure."
Nan Ji knew this meant the Dao Ancestor disliked him taking off his shoes.
So, he smiled sheepishly and put his shoes back on.
Hongjun saw that Nan Ji had already sat beside him. With one hand, he lifted it towards the void, and a massive mirror appeared before them.
The Haotian Mirror!
Seeing the mirror, Nan Ji's mouth watered. "Ancestor Master, this mirror is too conspicuous here. Why don't you give it to your disciple for protection?"
Hongjun ignored Nan Ji's words and said in a low voice, "Watch carefully."
Seeing that the Dao Ancestor wasn't acknowledging his request, Nan Ji gave up the idea and focused intently on the Haotian Mirror.
Within the screen, Di Jun and Tai Yi were continuously moving through the chaos.
Countless streams of chaotic energy brushed past them, but only left faint scratches.
After all, the Eastern Emperor Bell was protecting them.
"Ancestor Master, your disciple is angry at East King Duke. Why are you making me watch these two guys?"
After watching for a long time, Nan Ji found it boring and couldn't help but complain.
However, Hongjun calmly tossed an object towards Nan Ji and said slowly, "If the Demon Court is not established, how can the Immortal Court be destroyed?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Ji's eyes lit up.
That made sense.
Then he saw what the Dao Ancestor had casually tossed over. Looking at it, Nan Ji's eyes widened.
A scan with his divine sense made Nan Ji so shocked his jaw nearly dropped.
This was because the object was the Jade Disc of Creation!
