This opportunity was actually snatched away by me...
A faint sense of apology and a subtle awkwardness lingered in my heart.
"As for Fellow Daoist Fuxi's future path... the trajectory of Heavenly Dao has already changed because of me, and we can only wait and see what happens in the future."
Ultimately, this path, along with myself, has been recognized by the Primordial Wilderness world and has been integrated into the river of laws; this is destiny.
Suppressing these complex emotions, his gaze returned to the Innate Eight Trigrams Compass in his palm, which contained the entire evolution of the Primordial Wilderness.
This treasure can be used to deduce heavenly secrets and avoid misfortune, it can also be used as a formation plate to suppress Luck, and it can also be used for defense. Its functions are comparable to those of Innate Supreme Treasure.
Di Jun's eyes burned brightly, his imperial authority tinged with unprecedented sincerity, and his voice echoed throughout the scorching halls of the Solar Divine Palace:
"Qing Huan Qinghuan, the Primordial Wilderness world is vast and full of great beings, but only you have been able to forge your own path and evolve the Innate Eight Trigrams!"
Such achievements, throughout history, are second only to those of the Dao Ancestor.
The Dao Ancestor once said that there should be nine sages in the Primordial Wilderness.
I observe that even without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, your path to enlightenment is still a smooth one!
Our demon race wishes to honor you, fellow Daoist, and place you on equal footing with my brothers, sharing in the Luck the Primordial Wilderness world! We earnestly hope you will agree!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Xi Huang Fuxi also looked at Qing Huan with bright eyes, full of expectation.
Qing Huan stood still, his Spiritual Sense surging like a deep sea.
The conditions offered by Di Jun were undeniably generous.
Joining the demon race and leveraging their power, the path to spreading the Dharma to all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness, including humans, and obtaining the essence and blood of Di Jun Xi He, has indeed become much smoother.
Furthermore, like Nuwa, it can gather the faiths of countless races.
However, the ominous shadow of calamity hanging high in the sky was also crystal clear—the war between the Witch and Demon King and the Demon King would eventually come to an end, the Luck collapse, and the Heavenly Dao would settle accounts.
Unless... one can attain the indestructible Hunyuan Dao Fruit before the end!
Only in this way can one transcend fate like Nuwa, living freely and unburdened by Karma.
Even if the demon race falls into ruin in the future, by then I will have already attained Saint Position, and my Luck and foundation will not be damaged. I will then be able to preach to all living beings in the ruins.
This path, though fraught with peril, also holds immense potential.
Having considered this, Qing Huan's eyes hardened, and he cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Di Jun's invitation is so kind and sincere. If I were to refuse again, I would be disobeying the will of Heaven."
Alright! I am willing to join the demon race and accept the courtesy due to you, fellow Daoist.
However, I must state beforehand that I will not easily intervene in the conflicts of the Primordial Wilderness unless the survival of the demon race is in danger.
This is not an excuse; I do not wish to be entangled in the Karma of killing. Even with Merit, I fear I may not be able to withstand the calamity of Heavenly Dao retribution. I hope my fellow Daoist will understand."
Di Jun was overjoyed and laughed loudly:
"Excellent! Excellent! It is already a great blessing that you are willing to join the demon race! We will do as you say!"
From this day forward, the demon race will regard me, Tai Yi, and fellow Daoist as the most respected!
Di Jun knew perfectly well that Qing Huan possessed the great Merit and wisdom to create a new path, and his very existence was the supreme pillar of the demon Luck!
These are mere conditions, hardly worth mentioning.
Tai Yi, his face flushed, laughed heartily, "Haha!"
With Fellow Qing Huan joining us, our demon race will rise like the sun, illuminating the Primordial Wilderness! From now on, I shall address you as 'Brother Qing Huan'!
Qing Huan shook his head and said modestly, "Fellow Tai Yi, you flatter me."
We are of the same rank, so let us treat each other as equals. Please don't be too polite to this humble monk."
Qing Huan's thoughts raced, Tai Yi wielded the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, which combined offense and defense, making it impervious to all magic and the number one defensive treasure in the Primordial Wilderness.
Without the abilities of Sage, even with one's own supernatural powers, it is difficult to break through their defenses; this is an indisputable fact.
At this moment, Fuxi, unable to suppress the profound and mysterious stirring in his heart, bowed deeply to Qing Huan, his face showing a mixture of embarrassment and longing:
"Fellow Qing Huan, I... I have a request that I cannot make."
The Innate Eight Trigrams Compass that you have refined contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and has a profound connection with my Dao.
Upon seeing it, one feels a stirring of the soul, a resonance with the Great Dao...
My heart is truly uneasy, and I humbly request that you, fellow Daoist, allow me to temporarily borrow this treasure for some time to study it. Please forgive my abruptness!
Fuxi knew how precious this newly formed natal spiritual treasure was, and that asking for it was almost like forcing his way in. However, the call from the depths of his soul compelled him to speak.
Qing Huan, however, smiled freely and unhesitatingly pushed the radiant Innate Eight Trigrams Compass before Fuxi:
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, why be so polite? Spiritual treasures have their own spirits and should choose their own masters. Since this item is destined for you, you may take it and study it."
I'll lend you one hundred Kalpa; you can return them to me when the time comes!"
Di Jun and Tai Yi were both taken aback, and then their eyes showed even more admiration.
This is a newly born, innate Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures that carries a new Great Dao.
Fellow Qing Huan is so generous and magnanimous, lending out his natal spiritual treasure for Kalpa without hesitation!
Such magnanimity and breadth of vision are truly rare!
Fuxi received the warm, jade-like compass with trembling hands. The moment his fingertips touched the compass, a surge of emotion from the depths of his blood and soul erupted, as if a treasure lost for millennia had finally returned!
Countless profound hexagrams and runes appeared, combined, and were deduced in his sea of consciousness, as if this spiritual treasure was created for him.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, he bowed deeply to Qing Huan, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement and sincerity:
"Fellow Daoist Qing Huan... I will forever remember this kindness and grace! Fuxi, hereby declare that if you ever need my services in the future, as long as it does not violate the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, Fuxi, will gladly die for you!"
Qing Huan smiled and helped Fuxi:
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. It's merely fate."
His gaze turned to Di Jun.
"Fellow Daoists, my journey has lasted quite some time."
I wish to travel through the Primordial Wilderness once more, seeking some opportunities, before returning to my Dao Field for secluded meditation.
If the demon race is truly in danger of collapse, or if you have important matters to discuss with me, you may seek me out at Yingzhou Island in the Eastern Sea."
Di Jun and Tai Yi were startled again.
Tai Yi blurted out:
"Yingzhou Island? It's actually one of the Five Immortals Island overseas, formed from Chaos Fragment in legend?"
Fellow Daoist, you have found such a blessed place!
This island exists outside the Primordial Wilderness order, forming its own Universe. Even if the Primordial Wilderness collapses, chaos will remain forever! Fellow Daoist, your fortune is truly profound and boundless!
His words were full of envy and admiration.
Qing Huan nodded with a smile, his body surrounded by Pure Light.
"Until we meet again, everyone."
Having said that, his figure transformed into a mysterious and ethereal wisp of chaotic energy, instantly disappearing beyond the blazing Solar Star.
Inside the divine palace, Tai Yi withdrew his gaze from the sky, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit:
"Brother! Fellow Qing Huan has joined our clan, bringing with him the supreme Luck of creating the Great Dao. In addition, I wield the Chaos Bell and suppress all the heavens!"
In terms of top-tier combat power, our demon race is now unparalleled in the Primordial Wilderness! Shouldn't the matter of establishing a new race be put on the agenda?
Di Jun slowly shook his head, his expression not relaxed but rather solemn. He traced the River Diagram and Luo Script, which floated before him and displayed endless celestial mysteries, with his fingertips, and said in a deep voice:
"The timing... is still in a state of chaos. I have been calculating day and night, but the secrets of heaven are still unclear and the auspicious day for establishing the clan has not yet appeared."
To build an enduring legacy, how can one be too hasty? However..."
Looking out at the Primordial Wilderness and boundless Starry Sky, the anxiety and longing in my heart burn as fiercely as the Solar True Fire.
