Nether River Establishes Asura Cult, Fuxi Discusses Heavenly Marriage

As the Three Pure Ones were accepting disciples and preparing to compete at the "Dao Discussion Conference" ten thousand years later, another extremely sensational major event occurred in the Primordial Desolation.

It turned out that Nether River had clashed with Eastern Emperor Taiyi and was at a severe disadvantage. After failing to secure Old Ancestor Hongyun, he returned to the Sea of Blood, healed his injuries, and pondered deeply, unsure of the path to enlightenment!

He carefully analyzed the methods by which the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa achieved enlightenment, all of which were closely tied to the newly created Human Race. He realized that Nuwa's Human Creation was the simplest. Since he, Nether River, also possessed great divine power and could create life, this gave him hope for enlightenment.

Ultimately, Nether River created the Asura tribe in the Sea of Blood. This race was fond of slaughter, with males being ugly and females beautiful. With the birth of this new race, Nether River succeeded, and Merit descended. He successfully severed the second corpse, but was still far from becoming a Saint.

Nether River's failure made a multitude of great divine abilities users realize that without the "Primordial Violet Qi," becoming a Saint was impossible, plunging the entire Primordial Desolation into despair.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun had said that "Primordial Violet Qi" was the foundation for becoming a Saint. If they hadn't understood before, they all understood now: without "Primordial Violet Qi," there was no hope.

This made everyone even more eager for "Primordial Violet Qi." Currently, among the six Saints personally appointed by Hongjun, only Jieyin and Zhunti had not yet become Saints. Although no one had yet targeted the Western duo, countless great divine abilities users, intentionally or unintentionally, focused their gaze on the West.

Temporarily deterred by Dao Ancestor Hongjun's might, if these two continued to fail to become Saints, it was not impossible for great divine abilities users to forcefully intervene and kill Jieyin and Zhunti!

Even with their profound cultivation and protective treasures, if a group of Quasi-Saints joined forces, they might not be able to kill them!

And at this moment, in the Heavenly Court, within the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"The Age of Saints has arrived, and our days will be difficult. We must be careful from now on," Di Jun sighed.

Everyone below a Saint is an ant. As Saints widely accepted disciples, once these third-generation disciples of Xuanmen rose to prominence, they would surely traverse the Primordial Desolation and conflict with the Witch and Demon races. These disciples had top-tier backing, and even the powerful Witch and Demon races would find it difficult to deal with them.

"Big Brother, many old fellows have been eyeing Jieyin and Zhunti lately. Should we intervene?" Eastern Emperor Taiyi asked, a killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The Age of Saints had arrived. Although their Demon Race was powerful and had a Saint overseeing them, the Three Pure Ones held great influence, and Nuwa might not necessarily staunchly support the Demon Race. Thus, the two brothers had to ensure at least one of them achieved enlightenment.

Therefore, Eastern Emperor Taiyi also began to set his sights on the Western duo.

Jieyin and Zhunti possessed two Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, but their mana was mediocre. Eastern Emperor Taiyi was confident that he alone could defeat them. With his elder brother and the mobilization of the Heavenly Court's forces, they would definitely have a chance to capture Jieyin and Zhunti all in one net!

"We naturally need to pay attention, but we cannot act rashly. We were too slow with the matter of Hongyun last time. This time, we must watch for the right moment. Strive for a swift kill!" As the Heavenly Emperor, Di Jun, who ruled the Primordial Desolation, was not one to be trifled with. With the major event of becoming a Saint upon them, he couldn't afford to offend Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Indeed! We missed the opportunity last time! It's truly hateful!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi gritted his teeth, especially dissatisfied with the Demon Master Kunpeng. For his own selfish gain, this individual had even attacked Old Ancestor Hongyun without reporting it, showing that he was not truly aligned with the Heavenly Court.

Sitting below them, Emperor Xi and Demon Master Kunpeng heard this. Fuxi felt regret, while Kunpeng shrank his head, not daring to interject. He knew he had offended the Heavenly Emperor and Eastern Emperor.

However, with the great enemy of the Witch Clan outside, Di Jun and Tai Yi couldn't do much to him. After all, the Heavenly Court still needed to be closely united to deal with the complex situation in the Primordial Desolation.

After pondering for a moment, Di Jun said, "What we lack now are means to counter Saints. We can only continue to deduce the 'Grand Formation of the Stars' and elevate its power to a level that can withstand the attacks of Saints!"

"Yes!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Fuxi, and Kunpeng nodded in agreement.

A while later, Fuxi said, "Heavenly Emperor, I recently had an epiphany. With the perfection of Heaven and Earth, there is also the Merit from the Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man. When yin and yang harmonize, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is complete, this Heavenly Marriage is perfectly suited for you to undertake."

"Oh? There's Merit? Emperor Xi, explain in detail!" Di Jun's eyes lit up upon hearing about Merit, and he quickly asked.

Fuxi smiled, "The Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man are when Heaven, Earth, and Man, through the witnessing of Heaven and Earth, establish a marriage bond. Those who can represent them are all individuals with strong destiny. As for the Heavenly Marriage, fellow Daoist Di Jun is the most suitable. You are the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the Emperor of all demons in the Primordial Desolation. This Merit rightfully belongs to you, the Heavenly Emperor. Why wouldn't you take it?"

Fuxi's explanation finally made everyone understand.

Fuxi added, "Perhaps after the Heavenly Marriage, the Heavenly Emperor can use the Merit of the Heavenly Dao to perfect his Quasi-Saint realm. At that time, with the Heavenly Emperor and Eastern Emperor joining forces, even the Twelve Ancestral Witches would not be your match. Our Heavenly Court would then have the upper hand in the decisive battle with the Witch Clan in the future."

Di Jun and Tai Yi, as top experts in the Primordial Desolation, had both severed two corpses and advanced to the late Quasi-Saint stage. If the Heavenly Marriage could be achieved, Di Jun might even have hope of severing the third corpse.

"Good! Since there's such a good thing, I'll trouble fellow Daoist Fuxi to help arrange it," Di Jun said with a smile. He naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He was determined to have this Heavenly Marriage.

Fuxi then said, "The Heavenly Emperor's Heavenly Marriage can also bring a powerful expert to join our Demon Race. Why wouldn't we do it?"

"Big Brother, I think it's excellent! This matter must be handled with haste!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi said eagerly.

"Indeed! This matter is good for both public and private reasons! We should indeed hurry!" Kunpeng, who had been keeping a low profile, quickly agreed, while inwardly seething with jealousy. All the good things seemed to fall to others.

By now, who in the Primordial Desolation didn't know the importance of Merit? Why didn't he, Kunpeng, have such good fortune?

Smiling on the surface but cursing inwardly, Kunpeng was almost driven mad. He, Kunpeng, had also severed one corpse, yet he had no treasures, no Merit, and even no power within the Heavenly Court. He hadn't even been enfeoffed as an Emperor.

The entire Heavenly Court was the domain of the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Emperor Xi Fuxi. These three emperors ruled over billions of demons in the Primordial Desolation, leading the universe.

Di Jun composed himself and asked, "May I know who I will be united with? Surely the identity of this female immortal cannot be low?"

"Hahaha! Naturally! The Heavenly Emperor is the most noble person in the Primordial Desolation, so the future Empress of Heaven must also be a top-tier female immortal!" Fuxi laughed heartily.
