Scheming Old Man Wears Small Shoes, Di Jun and Tai Yi Establish the Demon Court

This, it's the Jade Disc of Creation!

Nan Ji, who had been holding the jade disc casually, quickly cupped it with both hands.

He asked in disbelief, "Ancestor Master, this, this is for me?"

Hongjun glanced at Nan Ji as if he were an idiot and then said, "Hiss, as expected of my eldest grand-disciple, willing to merge with the Heavenly Dao in place of this old man. Such filial piety."

Merge with the Heavenly Dao?

"No, no, no," Nan Ji, terrified, quickly tossed the Jade Disc of Creation back to Hongjun.

After all, in the Great Desolation, there were only a few Calamities that were truly interesting.

If he merged with the Dao, how could Nan Ji continue to play?

"Brilliant, truly brilliant."

Hongjun took back the jade disc with dissatisfaction and began to control it with his divine sense.

The chaotic void within the Haotian Mirror, which had been relatively calm, immediately began to boil like hot oil splashed with water.

Then, seemingly under Hongjun's control, countless elemental forces of earth, fire, wind, and water began to assail Di Jun and Tai Yi.

"This old Daoist remembers that this scoundrel bullied you before. Relying solely on schemes and repaying kindness with resentment is not the way."

Hongjun manipulated the jade disc while speaking calmly to Nan Ji.

Although Di Jun and Tai Yi had the Eastern Emperor Bell protecting them, with their current cultivation, it was like holding a small umbrella in a torrential downpour.

The countless boiling elemental forces soon tormented the two into a sorry state.

Upon seeing this, Nan Ji suddenly understood.

"Ancestor Master, let me, let me!"

Saying this, Nan Ji took the Jade Disc of Creation from Hongjun's hand and discovered that it could control the direction of the chaotic air currents in the void and the evolution and extinction of the elemental forces.

He wondered if this was the authority of the Heavenly Dao or the effect of the Jade Disc of Creation itself.

For a time, Nan Ji, imitating several popular games from later generations, set up countless obstacles for Di Jun and Tai Yi.

The two of them suffered greatly in the chaotic void.

Di Jun's hair bun came undone, his clothes were torn, and he even lost one of his shoes.

Tai Yi was even more miserable. His clothes were almost tattered, resembling those of a beggar, and his body was covered in small wounds. He and Di Jun struggled to endure, barefoot.

Seeing this, Nan Ji felt a pang of pity and said, "Ancestor Master, how about..."

Hongjun interrupted Nan Ji, sighing, "What? Is the great philanthropist Nan Ji going to show great mercy? It seems the position of the leader of the Western Sect should be given to you."

Fine!

Nan Ji knew that he had indeed formed karmic ties with the two of them in the past.

And his Ancestor Master was taking revenge for him.

He felt a bit too saintly.

Thus, Nan Ji continued to control the Jade Disc of Creation.

Seeing this, Hongjun took out the Enlightenment Tea Nan Ji had given him and poured himself a cup.

While slowly sipping it, he said, "These two are full of ambition and deserve this tribulation."

As if fearing Nan Ji would continue to be too merciful, Hongjun added, "Back then, Zhunti and Jieyin had it much worse! And yet, they still rebelled against the Xuanmen later."

As he spoke of these matters, Hongjun made it sound like trivial occurrences.

This gave Nan Ji a new perspective on Hongjun: it was likely that his Ancestor Master had a hand in Zhunti and Jieyin's late arrival back then. This old man was quite cunning! But thankfully, he was only like this towards outsiders...

Time flowed unmarked in the void. After a long while, Hongjun finally put down his repeatedly refilled teacup and said, "That's enough."

Upon hearing this, Nan Ji reluctantly returned the Jade Disc of Creation to Hongjun.

Honestly, this thing was incredibly useful, and tormenting the two of them had genuinely been satisfying for Nan Ji.

Hongjun took back the Jade Disc of Creation, and then, through the Haotian Mirror, Nan Ji saw the Purple Heaven Palace appear before the two of them.

"Why are these two your enemies? It's not easy to come to the Purple Heaven Palace!" Hongjun sighed with some regret.

Nan Ji glanced sideways at Hongjun, thinking to himself: If you truly wanted them to come, why put them through such hardship.

However, Nan Ji dared not speak these words aloud. Instead, he asked Hongjun, "Ancestor Master, next..."

"Just watch!"

After speaking, Hongjun leisurely poured Nan Ji another cup of Enlightenment Tea.

Taking the Enlightenment Tea, Nan Ji's eyes revealed joy and excitement.

Although this tea was his, he had experienced the Dao Ancestor brewing tea for him.

Who else had such treatment?

As if seeing through Nan Ji's thoughts, Hongjun said faintly, "This batch of Enlightenment Tea was picked by that unfilial disciple of mine, Laozi. When the next batch ripens, place it on the offering table for this old Daoist to enjoy."

Slurp

Cough, cough, cough...

Nan Ji almost choked to death on Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words but could only endure it, saying with a dejected face, "Yes, Ancestor Master."

Di Jun and Tai Yi finally found the Purple Firmament Palace in the chaos.

This scene was so unfamiliar, yet it felt like déjà vu.

The two prostrated themselves on the floor tiles outside the Purple Heaven Palace, instinctively embracing each other, tears welling up in their eyes.

Suffering~

So much suffering.

The chaos they had passed through several times before had inexplicably become so violent.

Even if it was violent, it attacked them in ever-changing ways.

In that chaos, the two were like fallen duckweed, at the mercy of its attacks.

Furthermore, the sunless chaos had wounded them both physically and mentally.

Finally, they found the Dao Ancestor!

But Di Jun didn't forget his important task and quickly knelt and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple Di Jun, seeks an audience with Teacher!"

"Tai Yi seeks an audience with Teacher!"

Silence.

Quiet as always.

Di Jun didn't dare to get up and continued, "Seeks an audience with Teacher!"

Nan Ji, inside the Purple Heaven Palace, looked at Di Jun kowtowing to "himself" in the Haotian Mirror and felt unaccustomed, saying, "Ancestor Master, this..."

Hearing Nan Ji's words, Hongjun glared at him, "Are you expecting this old man to answer? Can't you even imitate this old man's voice? Do you need this old man to teach you such a small matter?"

These three questions made Nan Ji's heart leap with anxiety.

However, unlike other mighty beings listening to the Dao in the Purple Heaven Palace, he was either known as the third-generation chief disciple of the Xuanmen, or he had been with Hongjun for a long time.

Nan Ji naturally didn't worry that Hongjun would harm him; on the contrary, Hongjun was exceptionally kind to him, even helping him hold grudges... Thinking of this, Nan Ji immediately understood.

For him, who was at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, this matter was not difficult.

Seeing that Hongjun hadn't appeared after his long kowtow, Di Jun, outside the palace doors, hardened his heart and spoke directly, "Reporting to Teacher, disciple sees that the demon race in the Great Desolation is in disarray. I wish to establish a demon court to unify the demon race. I hope Teacher will permit it."

Tai Yi looked at his elder brother, his heart pounding like a drum, and cautiously said, "Big Brother, Teacher I fear..."

At this very moment, Nan Ji's imitation of Hongjun's voice came from the Purple Heaven Palace, "A trivial matter, don't bother me."

Even with Hongjun's amplification, the voice faintly carried the might of the Heavenly Dao, causing Di Jun and Tai Yi to momentarily lose their senses.

The two, regaining their senses, looked at each other.

Tai Yi's eyes were filled with confusion, while Di Jun's eyes showed unconcealed joy.

Thus, Di Jun quickly bowed and thanked him, "Many thanks, Teacher, for your fulfillment!"

Tai Yi stared blankly at Di Jun, "Big Brother, this can..."

But before he could finish his question, Di Jun swiftly took him away from the Purple Heaven Palace.

After all, Di Jun had schemed against Hongjun; his silence meant agreement, allowing Di Jun to establish the demon court.

Naturally, he ran extremely fast.

"Tsk tsk, these two..."

Nan Ji watched Di Jun and Tai Yi in the Haotian Mirror, running as if chased by dogs, and for a moment, he couldn't find words to describe them.

To say they were stupid, yet they came to scheme against Ancestor Master Hongjun.

But to say they were smart, yet they were schemed against by their own Ancestor Master.

Hongjun glanced at Nan Ji, impatiently waved his hand, and a formation appeared behind the high platform.

"Remember to bring Enlightenment Tea next time."

After speaking, Nan Ji felt himself being swept into the formation.

When his vision returned, Nan Ji found that in the back hall of his Changsheng Hall, in a corner, a similar formation had appeared.

When Di Jun and Tai Yi returned to the Sun Star, Di Jun, without any hesitation, used his magic power and origin power with Tai Yi to communicate with the Sun Star.

In an instant, the Sun Star grew exceptionally large.

The temperature emitted by the scorching True Sun Fire caused all living beings in the Great Desolation to look up in awe.

And at this very moment
