The Treasure Dropping Coin Shows Its First Might, Nan Ji Plays with the Jade Disc in Chaos

Nan Ji knew that, in the end, the Immortal Court would still fall.

But that did nothing to soothe his anger.

The more he thought about those two snobs, the angrier Nan Ji became.

So he bid farewell to the Three Pure Ones and returned to the rear hall of his Changsheng Hall.

He had to air his grievances to Hongjun and see what Hongjun's attitude was.

Thus, he swiftly wiped down Hongjun's statue, laid out spiritual fruits, and lit incense and candles.

Once the incense and candles began to burn, Nan Ji started muttering, "My Ancestor Master, please open your eyes and take a look. That Immortal Court..."

Elsewhere, on the Sun Star.

Di Jun, who had returned from listening to the Dao at Purple Cloud Palace, had finally broken through to the initial stage of Quasi-Saint.

Yet after consolidating his cultivation, he did not immediately leave seclusion. Instead, he took out the treasure crucial to his grand plan—the Treasure Dropping Coin.

Having reached the Quasi-Saint realm, he sensed even more clearly that his Dao was the Dao of the Emperor.

Therefore, he could not wait to refine the Treasure Dropping Coin. As the refinement gradually neared completion, his expression became increasingly grim.

"Pfft!"

The instant Di Jun fully refined it, he could not help spitting out a mouthful of essence blood.

At the same time, the Treasure Dropping Coin finished refining and transformed into a streak of light that flew into Di Jun's body.

"Big Brother!"

Tai Yi hurried forward and called out.

Di Jun ignored Tai Yi. His brow remained tightly furrowed, and his body began trembling uncontrollably.

Even the hands resting on his knees started shaking. Beads of sweat rolled from his forehead like a light rain.

Tai Yi saw it all, yet he did not dare disturb Di Jun again.

Instead, he stretched out his right hand and summoned the Eastern Emperor Bell, then tossed it above Di Jun's head.

As the Eastern Emperor Bell rose above them, it continuously expanded and enveloped the two of them.

Buzz~

Buzz~~

Buzz~~~

Three consecutive bell chimes rang out from the Sun Star, echoing throughout the entire Great Desolation and stirring the curiosity of countless great powers.

But they soon discovered that even their divine senses could not penetrate the Eastern Emperor Bell, so they abandoned the idea.

As for Di Jun, after receiving the Eastern Emperor Bell's support, his twisted expression gradually eased.

"Huu..."

Di Jun let out a long breath before slowly opening his eyes.

"Big Brother, how do you feel? Is there something wrong with this treasure?"

Tai Yi asked with a sinister expression.

"Yes, and no."

Di Jun nodded, then shook his head. "For us brothers, this is also a good thing."

"Then this..." Tai Yi was thoroughly confused by Di Jun's answer.

Di Jun then explained the mysteries of the Treasure Dropping Coin to Tai Yi.

After fully refining it, Di Jun discovered that an enormous amount of karma had been transferred from the Treasure Dropping Coin onto himself.

This karma had been produced by the Karmic Demon God before the creation of heaven and earth.

Thus, in that instant, Di Jun had nearly been unable to bear it. Only with the Eastern Emperor Bell, one of the Three Treasures of Creation, had he gradually adapted to that overwhelming karmic power.

Of course, Nan Ji knew none of this.

Nor did he know that Xiao Sheng, whom he believed he got along with quite well, had actually intended to make him bear this karma.

But Di Jun had never feared hardship. On the contrary, the Treasure Dropping Coin truly possessed miraculous effects.

Especially now that the Dao Ancestor had taught the beings of the Great Desolation the method of using spiritual treasures to sever the three corpses, this spiritual treasure would be immensely useful for ruling the demon race.

With that thought, Di Jun's previously vague ambition became increasingly clear.

"Come, follow me into Chaos to find our teacher!"

Since Hongjun had not accepted them as disciples, the two could only address Dao Ancestor Hongjun as their teacher because they had listened to his teachings at Purple Cloud Palace.

"Big Brother, you..."

Tai Yi was somewhat bewildered. Though he understood the Treasure Dropping Coin's wondrous effects, what did that have to do with the Dao Ancestor?

"If we brothers wish to unite the demon race, we must establish a faction. But I fear conflict with East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West, so we must obtain our teacher's approval," Di Jun patiently explained again.

"But... isn't it too early?"

Tai Yi naturally knew that Di Jun had long wanted to do this. Yet their current cultivations were only Grand Unity Golden Immortal perfection and initial-stage Quasi-Saint.

"If I do not find a way to draw in providence to suppress this karma, then my cultivation will be unable to advance a single step."

"But this treasure is the opportunity. It will surely allow us to take in countless spiritual treasures for our demon race to use in severing their corpses."

With Di Jun's explanation, Tai Yi's eyes immediately lit up.

Thus, the two brothers hurried into Chaos.

Elsewhere, as Nan Ji muttered before Hongjun's statue, the statue emitted a burst of light and drew Nan Ji away once more.

"Oh my, I never realized your feelings for this old Daoist ran so deep. Impressive, truly impressive."

It was still the same familiar formula, still the same familiar flavor.

Nan Ji smiled awkwardly and shamelessly said, "Ancestor Master, wasn't your disciple-grandson feeling utterly wronged? I had no choice but to come complain to you, Elder."

The Dao Ancestor sneered. "What, you want to make a move against East King Duke? With that cultivation of yours, you certainly have lofty ambitions! This old Daoist admires you—admires you greatly!"

At the mention of his fatal cultivation level, Nan Ji felt a pang in his heart.

Originally, he had been someone who cultivated diligently and steadily. But after the Ren Water Immortal Peach and the Dao Ancestor's lecture had raised his cultivation, who would still be willing to cultivate bitterly?

Thus, Nan Ji did not hide anything from the Dao Ancestor and said frankly, "Dao Ancestor, at most I can reach Quasi-Saint perfection. What use is cultivation to me?"

Seeing Nan Ji be so candid, the Dao Ancestor nodded. "Actually, there really is an opportunity for you!"

"What?"

Nan Ji's eyes widened with excitement.

"Come sit beside me!"

"Sure!"

Hearing this, Nan Ji did not decline. He directly took off his shoes and prepared to climb onto the platform where the Dao Ancestor sat.

"Hiss, whose pickled cabbage has finished fermenting? What an authentic aroma~"

Nan Ji knew the Dao Ancestor was complaining about him taking off his shoes.

So he smiled sheepishly and put them back on.

Seeing Nan Ji already seated beside him, Hongjun raised one hand toward the void, and a massive mirror appeared before them.

The Haotian Mirror!

The moment Nan Ji saw the mirror, he drooled with envy. "Ancestor Master, this... this mirror is such an eyesore sitting with you. Why not give it to your disciple-grandson for protection?"

Hongjun ignored Nan Ji's words and merely said softly, "Watch carefully."

Seeing that the Dao Ancestor was ignoring his request, Nan Ji put the thought aside and carefully looked at the Haotian Mirror.

Within the image were Di Jun and Tai Yi, continuously advancing through Chaos.

Countless chaotic currents brushed past them, yet only left faint wounds on their bodies.

After all, the Eastern Emperor Bell was above their heads.

"Ancestor Master, I'm angry at East King Duke. Why are you showing your disciple-grandson these two?"

After watching for a long while, Nan Ji found it dull and could not help complaining.

Hongjun remained calm as he tossed something to Nan Ji and slowly said, "If the Demon Court is not established, how will the Immortal Court fall?"

Nan Ji's eyes lit up at once.

That made sense.

Then he looked at the object the Dao Ancestor had casually tossed over. The instant he saw it, Nan Ji's eyes widened.

When he swept it with his divine sense, Nan Ji was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped.

For this object was the Jade Disc of Creation!
