Di Jun and Tai Yi Establish Demon Sages, East King Duke Plots the Immortal Peach Banquet

At this very moment, feeling the awe of all beings in the Great Desolation looking up at him, Di Jun nodded with satisfaction.

Then, with a shift of his magic power, he and Tai Yi instantly transformed into golden-yellow robes, and two enormous Golden Crow phantoms appeared behind them, letting out two piercing cries in the sky.

Following this, Di Jun and Tai Yi were heard loudly proclaiming, "Heavenly Dao above, today Di Jun and Tai Yi, following the decree of the Dao Ancestor, shall rule all demons in the Great Desolation. The Demon Court is established!"

This declaration could not help but shock everyone in the Great Desolation.

One had to know, there were countless demon races in the Great Desolation, and from now on, they would only be led by these two.

"What does this mean? Are we all going to listen to Di Jun from now on?"

"What about East King Duke then..."

"But this is the Dao Ancestor's decree."

For a time, an atmosphere of defiance, anger, and fear spread across the Great Desolation.

Meanwhile, in the East Sea, on Penglai Island...

East King Duke was listening with a grim expression to the report from True Person Ziyang and Bihai Yuanjun.

Suddenly, he heard about this stunt Di Jun was pulling and angrily smashed the stone chair he was sitting on.

"This is too much!"

"Di Jun is going too far!"

"Dao Ancestor, how can this be fair."

East King Duke shouted with wide eyes, completely disregarding any consequences.

Upon hearing East King Duke's words, True Person Ziyang was so frightened that he immediately collapsed to the ground, trembling, and said, "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."

Bihai Yuanjun waved her sleeve, cleaning up the shattered stone fragments before saying, "Your Majesty, why the haste? No matter what Di Jun does, he is still a male immortal. Your Majesty is the leader of the male immortals in the Great Desolation, personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. Di Jun can only bow down and serve Your Majesty."

Bihai Yuanjun's words cut to the heart of the matter, and only then did East King Duke's expression soften.

He thought to himself: Indeed, even if Di Jun rules all races, so what? He is still a male immortal of the Great Desolation.

With this thought, East King Duke felt relieved and couldn't help but praise Bihai Yuanjun, "Elder, you truly are the pillar of my Immortal Court."

However, a moment later, a heavy Heavenly Dao pressure swept across the entire Great Desolation, causing all beings within it to tremble.

"Approved!"

Along with the Heavenly Dao's cold voice, immense auspicious clouds of merit began to condense in the sky, splitting into two streams and descending upon the two.

As the merit touched Di Jun, he no longer suppressed the karma and karmic forces, and black energy like surging waves emanated from his body.

Seeing this, Tai Yi also directed the merit that rightfully belonged to him towards Di Jun.

When the merit and karma came into contact, it was like ice water poured onto a raging fire, boiling and dissolving each other simultaneously.

But the Heavenly Dao merit in the sky seemed inexhaustible, completely eliminating all the karma Di Jun had accumulated from the Treasure Dropping Coin.

Feeling that there was still remaining merit, Di Jun and Tai Yi also used it to break through.

After the merit entered their bodies, Tai Yi's cultivation advanced like a rocket.

Late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal, early-stage Quasi-Saint...

"Sever!"

"Sever!"

With a great shout from Di Jun and Tai Yi, they actually severed their good corpses with the help of the merit.

All the beings in the Great Desolation fell silent upon witnessing this scene, realizing the immense power of merit gained from establishing the Demon Court.

Di Jun felt the destiny of the entire demon race, as if it were condensing from various demon tribes and then converging upon him and Tai Yi.

Just then, after the brothers had completely absorbed all the merit, a rumbling sound echoed through the sky.

Following this, a secret realm slowly appeared before their eyes.

The Demon Court Secret Realm!

Di Jun's mind immediately received information from the Heavenly Dao, and seeing this, he beamed with joy and continued, "Today, I wish to appoint Bai Ze, Ji Meng, Ghost Chariot... as the Ten Great Demon Sages of the Demon Race. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness."

This was also part of Di Jun's plan.

Upon hearing Di Jun's declaration, the ten demons immediately flew to the side of the Sun Star, and the Heavenly Dao still bestowed a considerable amount of merit upon them.

They also used this opportunity to break through to the late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

The benefit of merit is its speed; it's incredibly fast and has no side effects.

They didn't even need to consolidate their cultivation.

The ten Demon Sages, having received the benefits, all said, "We pay homage to the Demon Emperor, the Eastern Emperor!"

Di Jun accepted their obeisance with satisfaction and then addressed the Great Desolation, "Now that the Demon Court is newly established, I wish to invite all races of the Great Desolation to gather at the Demon Court in ten years. All tribes that serve the Demon Court will be bestowed with innate treasures."

Hearing this, all the races of the Great Desolation erupted in excitement.

Whether intentional or not, the timing coincided exactly with that of East King Duke of the Immortal Court.

On Penglai Island, East King Duke first saw the descent of merit, and then Di Jun's provocation, which enraged him to the point of his face turning ashen and his eyes becoming bloodshot.

"This King will go find the Dao Ancestor right now!"

"And ask him if this Great Desolation is managed by him, Di Jun, or by me, the East King Duke."

"How can this be so unfair?"

Normally, the East King Duke wouldn't dare, but this time he was truly furious.

The Dao Ancestor had appointed him as the leader of the male immortals, bestowing upon him only two symbolic treasures.

But look at Di Jun, he received both merit and access to the Demon Court's secret realm. The difference was so obvious.

Ziyang no longer dared to speak. Bihai Yuanjun, however, gave the East King Duke a tender look and continued, "Your Majesty, do not rush. I have a plan."

With Bihai Yuanjun present, the East King Duke knew she could see clearly. He briefly calmed his emotions and said, "Elder, what is your wise counsel? Please speak quickly."

"Let's not even mention whether Di Jun can produce ten thousand innate treasures. Your Majesty, you have the treasure bestowed by the Dao Ancestor to lead all immortals."

Seeing that the East King Duke hadn't reacted yet, Bihai Yuanjun prompted, "The Ren Water Immortal Peach."

"Right!"

That Ren Water Immortal Peach could enhance cultivation. Thinking of this, the East King Duke excitedly slapped his thigh and shouted.

Then, after some thought, he said, "Then I will ask Elder and Ziyang to make a trip to Kunlun and tell our fellow Daoist, the Queen Mother of the West, that our Immortal Court's audience in ten years must be prepared with sufficient Ren Water Immortal Peaches."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Di Jun's announcement was made, he led the Ten Great Demon Sages to explore the Demon Court's secret realm.

Inside, the spiritual energy was so dense it was like liquid, and countless pavilions and towers were hidden within.

This made Di Jun even more satisfied. After taking out his Treasure Dropping Coin and explaining its use, he said, "This time, you all go down to the mortal realm and search. You must produce ten thousand treasures by ten years from now."

Upon hearing the marvelous use of the Treasure Dropping Coin, the Ten Great Demon Sages became full of confidence in the future of the Demon Court.

However, Ghost Chariot, upon seeing the appearance of the Treasure Dropping Coin, was startled. A wave of regret then surged into her heart.

How could she not recognize it? That was the item of Xiao Sheng from Wuyi Mountain from years ago.

She regretted returning this treasure to Nan Ji, and she didn't know why it had ended up in the hands of the Demon Emperor Di Jun. Thus, a subtle, different gleam inadvertently appeared in her eyes.

In Kunlun Mountain.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, at least say something."

"What are we going to do?"

Tongtian paced anxiously back and forth in the Jade Void Palace, his face full of worry.

The appearance of the East King Duke was already troublesome enough, and now Di Jun had popped up.

Yuanshi asked displement, "Are you from the demon race? Why are you meddling?"

"But Di Jun is no different from the East King Duke. We, the dignified Three Pure Ones, should be the ones to lead all races in the Great Desolation..."

Laozi ignored their bickering and interrupted Tongtian to ask the silent Nan Ji, "Nan Ji, what do you think of this matter?"
