Once the Primordial Chaos River Luo Great Array and the Myriad Immortals Formation were broken, both sides suffered backlash from the Great Formation and fell from the sky.
The Myriad Immortals Formation was broken this time because the East King Duke had too few experts under his command and the Demon Clan in the formation were of low cultivation. Otherwise, the Myriad Immortals Formation alone might not have been able to break the formation.
Both sides suffered some damage due to the backlash from the Great Formation.
With so many people involved in the formation of the Myriad Immortals Formation, the damage was not too great as it was shared among everyone. On the other hand, although the Demon Clan on the other side were all elites of their clans with powerful cultivation, their numbers were ultimately too small. Therefore, the Great Formation caused them far more damage than the demons. Only Eastern Emperor Taiyi, protected by the Chaos Bell, was spared from injury.
"Di Jun, Taiyi, I know that the Saint favor me and have entrusted me with the management of the Heavenly Dao order, which has aroused your jealousy, Demon Clan."
Today I wish to establish Immortal Court and carry out the Heavenly Mandate, but you harbor rebellious intentions and attempt to suppress me.
"However, now that things have come to this, what doubts do you still have about the strength of my Immortal Court?"
Looking at the group of the Demon Clan he had injured with his Great Formation, East King Duke spoke with a sense of pride.
"Hehe~, East King Duke, you used the power of ten thousand immortals to attack us, but we were only a few dozen people, and you still couldn't win. Yet you still have the nerve to talk about suppressing us. Your Immortal Court is nothing more than this."
I've become somewhat interested now, and I want to see how you manage to maintain Order in the Primordial World right under the noses of the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens Demon Clan and the Primordial Desolation Earth Witch Clan. You mustn't disappoint me!
This attempt to test the Immortal Court has not only humiliated them but also revealed their true strength.
The Immortal Court established by the East King Duke has some ability, but it is not enough. When they enter the Primordial Desolation Earth, the first to be affected will be the Witch Clan. The two will inevitably clash. Meanwhile, the Demon Clan is still in the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens, where they can watch the two tigers fight and reap the benefits!
"East King Duke, we have a long future ahead of us!"
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Di Jun stopped pursuing the matter and turned to lead the Demon Clan away.
With the great battle over, the scattered immortals on the Immortal Court's side all breathed a sigh of relief, including the East King Duke.
Despite his earlier tough demeanor, he had actually realized that the group of rogue cultivators under his command were significantly weaker than their opponents.
The Demon Clan had fought a great war with the Witch Clan in the Primordial World for tens of thousands of years. They were both bloodthirsty warriors who had been forged in blood and fire. The mere condensation of their killing aura could easily intimidate some people of the same realm. The difference between them and the rogue immortals under his command who had not been tempered by much war and had always lived a carefree life was too great. Those were the true elite warriors who had experienced a hundred battles.
Seeing that the Demon Clan had all left, the Queen Mother of the West was relieved. She had previously been in charge of the female immortals and had not been keen on participating in the management of the Immortal Court. If it hadn't been for the East King Duke revealing the Myriad Immortals Formation, she wouldn't have known that the Immortal Court had such a foundation!
However, the battle that Di Jun and Taiyi caused at the ceremony made her realize the power of the Demon Clan race. This reminded her of the Witch Clan, which was the race that had suppressed the Demon Clan race in the past. Compared to that, the Immortal Court probably couldn't control them at all!
After a moment's thought, she became even more determined to stick to her original idea: to be a good mascot in the Immortal Court, to stay out of trouble, to build good relationships with all the great gods, and to use this precious place to cultivate wholeheartedly!
The many Primordial World cultivators on the Viewing Platform were also very excited.
They came to witness the ceremony and broaden their horizons, and now they have truly seen a grand spectacle. Not to mention the rare sight of the Great Luo Dao Lord among the attendees, the banquet of the ceremony was also quite unique. Even more remarkable was the power struggle between the two major forces and the duel Quasi-Saint Mighty Being. These are all things that cannot be sought after.
Jiang Yun and his fellow disciples witnessed the entire battle between the two forces. To be honest, some of the bizarre Secret Art really opened his eyes, especially the Heaven-Fishing Technique used by Ao Ji, which could even fish out Primordial Spirit and Laws. It was truly amazing and broadened his horizons.
During the subsequent battle of the Great Formation, the way both sides controlled the Great Formation, as well as the application of the principles of the I Ching such as the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, Twelve Yuan Chen Branches within the Formations, gave him a lot of inspiration.
No wonder the Witch Clan loves to fight; fighting can stimulate an individual's potential, allowing them to improve rapidly in a short period of time, and can also unleash more inspiration when their adrenaline surges.
However, after the battle ended and he calmed down, Jiang Yun began to reflect on his earlier thoughts, realizing how incredibly dangerous they had been!
"I must have been influenced by the atmosphere of the battle. How could I have such dangerous thoughts? Honestly farming and developing is the most in line with the development philosophy of the Primordial Desolation World! Otherwise, why did those warlike races all end up badly?" Jiang Yun silently reflected in his heart.
After the Demon Clan left, the East King Duke arranged for people to replace all the items on the Viewing Platform.
After everyone was seated again, he continued the topic that had been interrupted earlier in the ceremony.
"Fellow Daoists, today, my fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West and I wish to carry out the Heavenly Mandate. Therefore, we hereby offer this sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, and ask you all to bear witness."
With that, he and the Queen Mother of the West bowed to the crowd to thank them for watching the ceremony, and then began the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven.
Both of them wore solemn expressions and looked dignified.
They bowed towards the sky, rose, and said:
"By the will of Heavenly Dao, I, the East King Duke (Queen Mother of the West), uphold the Heavenly Dao Will, receive the decrees of the Saint, Maintain Heaven and Earth Order, carry out the blessings of Heavenly Dao, regulate the changes of Yin Yin-Yang Yang in the Qiankun, and protect the peace of all races in the Primordial World."
"I hereby establish this Immortal Court to govern the Primordial Desolation World and bring blessings to Primordial World living beings. I hope Heavenly Dao will bear witness!"
"Immortal Court, stand!"
As the words fell, thunder rumbled in the sky, followed by nine consecutive booming claps.
Immediately afterwards, beams of Golden Light poured down from the Firmament, dyeing the entire East Sea yellow. Boundless auspicious energy appeared in the clouds, spreading in all directions, and the vast and immense Aura of Merit Heavenly Dao merit gradually gathered in the sky.
Finally, it cascaded down like a waterfall of the Star River, falling onto Penglai Immortal Island.
Thirty percent of it was distributed among the immortals who followed the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West the Two to join the Immortal Court.
As the Aura of Merit was absorbed, some of the scattered immortals had their Karmic Retribution washed away, their bodies felt unobstructed, and their minds clear. Some directly broke through their bottlenecks, improved their cultivation, and Stable Foundation. Others had their Aura of Merit retained, transforming into protective Merit Golden Light merit with endless wonders. In short, they all received considerable benefits, and everyone was overjoyed!
The remaining seventy percent of the Merit was divided in two, falling into the hands of the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West, with the Queen Mother of the West receiving three percent and the East King Duke receiving four percent.
Faced with the current state of the Immortal Court, the two chose to absorb the Heavenly Dao Merit they had acquired to enhance their cultivation.
Under the nourishment of Heavenly Dao Merit, the aura of the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West suddenly surged, and an aura above the Great Luo Realm slowly began to appear on their bodies.
