"Emperor Xi, stop keeping us in suspense. Which female immortal would be suitable?" Seeing that Fuxi was still keeping him guessing, Eastern Emperor Taiyi grew anxious.
At the same time, Di Jun and Kunpeng were both watching Fuxi. They were clearly eager to know which female immortal could possibly be worthy of the supreme Heavenly Emperor.
"The Heavenly Emperor was born from the primordial spirit of Solar True Fire. He is Utmost Yang. As the saying goes, yin and yang must be combined, so naturally, it should be one of the two goddesses of the Moon Star." Fuxi smiled smugly and slowly explained.
"The Moon Star—Fellow Daoist Xihe? Or... Changxi?" Di Jun froze. He had indeed felt mutually drawn to Fairy Xihe before, but for the sake of the Witch Race, he naturally had no time for romance. Over the years, they had lost contact.
Now that the subject had been raised, he naturally thought of Xihe, the woman who held an immense attraction for him.
"Hahaha! So the Heavenly Emperor already has someone in mind!"
Di Jun's words made Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Emperor Xi Fuxi laugh. Kunpeng did not dare to act so freely; he merely gave two dry laughs along with the two supreme emperors.
"Then it's Fairy Xihe—the future Heavenly Empress Xihe of the Heavenly Court!" Fuxi declared.
"Heh heh, then I'll trouble Emperor Xi to make the trip for me." Di Jun smiled awkwardly.
"Very well! For the sake of the Heavenly Emperor's happiness—and for the future of our Witch Race. I'll go to the Moon Star and propose on your behalf. If Fellow Daoist Xihe can unite with Fellow Daoist Xihe, not only will you obtain merit, but our Witch Race will also gain another powerful expert." Fuxi smiled.
"Those words are absolutely right!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Kunpeng nodded. Xihe was also a mighty expert, one of the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace and a Quasi-Saint-level powerhouse whose strength was no weaker than Kunpeng's. If she joined the Heavenly Court, it would naturally be an excellent development.
While the Witch Race was discussing the Heavenly Marriage, the Witch Race was far from peaceful either. No matter how rough or arrogant they were, they too felt tremendous pressure at the arrival of the Saint Era.
The closed-door meetings in Ancestral Witch Hall had been held so many times that no one knew the exact number anymore. The Twelve Ancestral Witches often gathered together to practice the Grand Formation of the Fiend Gods. They had even taken out some relics that Great God Pangu had once left behind from Ancestral Witch Hall.
After repeated cultivation, every one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches had reached at least the mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm, with some in the late stage or beyond. The Witch Race had not been idle while the Monster Race's strength grew stronger. In particular, the current Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Formation had, thanks to the increased strength of its users, reached an unbelievable level.
Within the sealed world of Ancestral Witch Hall, not even the Heavenly Dao could sense anything that happened there.
The formation summoned Pangu True Body once more. Its power was so great that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were confident it was absolutely no weaker than the Monster Race. The pressure brought by Nuwa becoming a Saint was also greatly reduced.
"Big Brother, what should we do? The Monster Race has grown stronger, and the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa have also become Saints. Our control over the Primordial World has already weakened considerably. If this continues, the Dao Ancestor's claim that the Witch Race would govern the land will become nothing but empty words!" Zhu Rong slammed the table, losing his temper.
"Zhu Rong, sit down. What good will panicking do? The ten great epochs have not yet passed. Could you possibly declare war on the Heavenly Dao?" Gonggong frowned and shouted.
"That's enough! Stop arguing! From today onward, everyone will study a simplified version of the Grand Formation of the Fiend Gods suited to their respective tribes and pass it down. We must increase the strength of our entire race. As for those Great Witches with immense potential, we must focus on nurturing them. If even one of them can advance to the Quasi-Saint realm, it will relieve some of our pressure."
Looking at Zhu Rong and Gonggong arguing the moment they met, Dijiang rubbed his brow with a trace of helplessness before issuing the latest arrangements.
Over the years, aside from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, some of the Great Witches had performed exceptionally well and displayed superior strength. People such as Hou Yi and Kuafu were experts even among Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and could even sweep aside all other Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
Before long, Fuxi left the Heavenly Court and rapidly traversed the boundless starry sky. He soon arrived at the Moon Star. The arrival of Fuxi, Emperor Xi of the Heavenly Court, left Xihe and Changxi utterly surprised.
"Why has Fellow Daoist Fuxi come to my Moon Star today? I wonder what brings you here?" Xihe asked.
The Primordial World had already endured two World-Ending Tribulations, and tens of thousands of great epochs had passed. From the time they had been weak to the present, when they shook the Primordial World, the two sides had never interacted. They truly had no idea why Fuxi had come.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoists Xihe and Changxi. I naturally came today with a tremendous piece of good news to discuss with Fellow Daoist Xihe." Fuxi hurriedly smiled.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you state your purpose? My sister and I have never interfered in the war between the Witch Race and the Monster Race. If you have come to ask us to join your Monster Race, you may return." Xihe spoke.
Any mighty expert with enough self-awareness would not dare to become deeply involved in the conflict between the Witch Race and the Monster Race. It was a place that could cost them their lives; billions of years of painstaking cultivation could be destroyed in an instant.
"Heh heh, rest assured, Fellow Daoists, it isn't that! Fellow Daoist Xihe, this truly is an excellent opportunity—a chance to obtain merit!" Fuxi smiled awkwardly. Over the years, he had repeatedly recruited people for the Heavenly Court, but these mighty experts were all extraordinarily crafty and naturally would not easily board the Monster Race's pirate ship. Now that Xihe and Changxi had bluntly pointed it out, even Fuxi felt his face flush.
"Oh? Merit?" Xihe froze. Could such a good thing really fall to her?
"Your Monster Race is full of talented people, and you already don't have enough resources to go around. As for something as precious as merit, how could it possibly be my sister Xihe's turn?" Changxi said bluntly.
"Hahaha, that is normally true. However, what if Fellow Daoist Xihe became a high-ranking member of our Monster Race?" Fuxi asked.
"Hmph!" Xihe grew angry as soon as she heard that. "I already said that my sister and I will never join the Monster Race. If Fellow Daoist Fuxi has nothing else to say, then please leave!"
Fuxi chuckled. "Fellow Daoist Xihe, don't be angry. It won't be too late to decide after hearing me out. It's like this: for the Primordial World to reach perfection, it requires the Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Fellow Daoist Di Jun possesses the Utmost Yang of the Solar Star, while Fellow Daoist Xihe possesses the Utmost Yin. If the two of you unite and establish the Heavenly Marriage, you will certainly obtain merit."
Fuxi repeated the words he had spoken to Di Jun. This matter would also benefit him greatly, so he naturally did everything he could to bring it about.
"Ah? Is that really so?" Fairy Xihe's pretty face flushed slightly as she thought of Di Jun. His aura and Dao resonance of Utmost Yang had indeed stirred her heart. Moreover, if the Way of the Moon were combined with Di Jun's Great Dao of the Sun, Yin-Yang Harmony would be achieved, and the two of them could truly advance their cultivation greatly, just as Fuxi had said.
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun holds Fellow Daoist Xihe in high regard, which is why he entrusted me to bring you two together. In addition, everyone in our Monster Race hopes that Fellow Daoist Xihe can unite with Fellow Daoist Di Jun in yin and yang and establish the Heavenly Marriage." Seeing that Xihe seemed moved, Fuxi continued.
