When Di Jun and Taiyi the Two were in the Sun Star, re-establishing the Order the Primordial Desolation Stars, the Circulating Stars shone brightly. In particular, when the Sun Star successfully replaced Ziwei and became the central hub guarded by all the stars, the Purple Qi aura that had traveled 30,000 miles eastward above Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea was suddenly torn apart by a beam of Golden Light.
The Dragon Head Cane in the East King Duke's hand trembled violently, and the Starwatching Platform in front of the palace exploded with a roar— the Heavenly Cycle Stars actually rearranged their trajectories on their own, all shifting towards the direction of the Sun Star.
"How dare you, you brat Di Jun East King Duke was furious. The Golden Book of Immortal Court Golden Tome of Fortune moved without wind, revealing the extraordinary phenomenon of the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens Demon Race Fortune surging.
As the Queen Mother of the West calculated with her fingertips, the Pure Water Bowl reflected the dramatic changes in the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky: "The Sun Moon Central Star, Demon Clan has completely occupied the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky. Their next move, I fear, will be to seize my Immortal Court's Heavenly Mandate of 'Rule the Three Realms'!"
The Immortal Court hastily summoned all the immortals to hold Myriad Immortals Conference to discuss countermeasures against the Demon Clan race's next move.
At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, the Twelve Ancestral Witches rushed together to the Pangu Hall.
As Dijiang tore through space to appear, he heard the excited roar of the Fire God Zhurong: "These feathered beasts have become demons after ascending to the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens! Now they have completely occupied the Primordial Desolation Starry Sky and are even preparing to hold a Demon Court Ceremony to declare their dominion over the Primordial World sky. They are truly courting death!"
As Rushou's Metal Law intensified. "While they are still establishing their Demon Court, let's all storm the Heavenly Realm!"
Gonggong chimed in agreement, "Yes, let's storm the Heavenly Realm! Those two three-legged birds on the Sun Star are truly overestimating themselves. This Primordial World was created by our Father God. Now that we, their descendants, have been born, how can it be their turn to rule the sky!"
Houtu, however, stopped Gonggong, saying, "The Heavenly Cycle Stars have now become a powerful weapon for the Demon Clan race. Moreover, the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens only has Four Heavenly Gates facing outwards, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. A direct assault would likely result in heavy casualties."
When the other Ancestral Witch saw that Dijiang had arrived, they all turned their gazes to him. Dijiang was the Eldest Brother recognized by everyone, and such an important matter still needed him to make the final decision.
Dijiang pondered for a moment, but didn't make a hasty decision. Instead, he looked at Zhujiuyin and asked, "Jiuyin, what's your opinion? Have you observed any important information?"
Upon hearing this, Zhujiuyin remained silent. He closed his eyes, and a silver Innate Divine Runes on his brow emitted the light of the Time Law. Blurry images flashed by rapidly under the influence of the power of time.
At one moment, he seemed to perceive some important information from the vast fragments of time. In the future fragments manifested in the River of Time, he could only vaguely see the scene of golden and silver liquids falling on the earth. "The Demon Clan seems to have Divine Creation Artifact..." Just as he was about to take a closer look, the fragments of time shattered with a bang, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. This was because he had touched a taboo and was being devoured by the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Before the words were even finished, the fragmented footage was already destroyed by the True Sun Fire.
Upon seeing Zhujiuyin cough Essence Blood, the others immediately became anxious. "Second Brother, are you alright?"
Dijiang also cast a concerned glance at him.
Zhujiuyin expelled the residual power of the Heavenly Dao from his body, calmed his surging blood and qi, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's nothing, just a trace of the Heavenly Dao backlash. I'm used to vomiting all the time!"
"Eldest Brother Dijiang, the Demon Clan's preparations for establishing Demon Court are quite thorough. From the River of Time, I vaguely saw the Demon Clan sprinkling some kind of Spiritual Nectar of Creation upon the earth during the grand ceremony. This must be some kind of tactic they're using against us; we must be on guard!"
Upon hearing this, Dijiang pondered for a moment, then looked at his brothers and said, "After Di Jun led the Demon Clan to conquer the Starry Sky, he dared to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, desiring to rule the Primordial World sky. Our Witch Clan has always dominated the earth, and we can also offer sacrifices to our Father God, declaring that our race rules the Primordial Desolation Earth."
After some discussion, the Twelve Ancestral Witches decided that on the day of the Demon Clan's Grand Ceremony, they would also gather their clansmen to worship Pangu in Buzhou Mountain, and declare to the four directions that the Witch Clan would rule the earth.
Meanwhile, based on the information that Zhujiuyin had previously detected, they also secretly made preparations and left themselves a backup plan:
First, they instructed their people to capture ferocious beasts on the Primordial Desolation Earth and extract their Essence Blood for use in the Blood Sacrifice.
This time, by offering the Essence Blood of One Hundred Thousand Chaos Demon God-Bloodline Fierce Beasts as a sacrifice to Pangu, we are bound to draw upon the will of the Father God to strengthen the earth's authority within the Bloodline of our people.
Secondly, as the Twelve Ancestral Witches deepened their understanding of their Bloodline, they obtained a Great Formation from their Bloodline information—the Dutian Divine Fiend Formation. This array, based on the twelve of them, can gather the Earthly Fiend Qi and Fiendish Qi of the Primordial Desolation World to strengthen themselves. At its peak, it can even summon the projection of the Father God's will, gathering the Laws within the twelve people's Bloodline to Great Dao of Strength, making it unparalleled in attack and destruction.
This formation can serve as the Ballast Stone and Clan-Protecting Great Formation for their Witch Clan. It should not be activated lightly unless absolutely necessary. They secretly practice the projection of the Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array in normal times, and can strike Qiankun when the critical moment arrives.
Finally, Dijiang prepared to gather everyone's strength to unleash the Earth Sealing, activating the Earth Vein Power to seal the Heavenly Pillar of Buzhou Mountain, severing the passage between the Demon Clan and earth, and cutting off the connection between the demon race and the earth. Although this move would not have much effect on some powerful cultivators, since those with strong cultivation could directly pass through dangerous places like the Nine Heavens Gale and Primordial Desolation Starry Sky, it would undoubtedly sever the contact between the numerous lower-level cultivators and the Demon Clan race, weakening the Demon Clan's prestige on earth. This approach would drastically increase the difficulty for the Demon Clan to launch a counterattack against the earth in the future.
Apart from the Immortal Court and the Witch Clan, who reacted strongly to the commotion caused by the Demon Clan, other forces in the Primordial World did not show much reaction.
When the Immortal Court was established last time, most of the Primordial World Powers in the prehistoric world attended the ceremony out of respect for Old Ancestor Hongjun. This time, however, the Demon Clan is going to establish the Demon Court above the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens, so the reaction has been much less enthusiastic. If one were to attend the ceremony, it would mean acknowledging the Demon Court's rule over the Primordial World sky, which would require taking sides. Who would be willing to do this without any benefits?
In the Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones heard about the Demon Court. The Daoist Yuanshi swept his Jade Ruyi, and a star chart of the Heavenly Cycle Stars appeared in the air.
The Sect Master Tongtian's Qingping Sword emitted a sword cry. From this star trajectory calculation diagram, he discerned the rudimentary form of a Great Formation—no, it should be Half-Finished Product, but it seemed not far from being Great Formation formed!
"Di Jun actually comprehended such Great Formation through the laws of the Heavenly Cycle Stars. He's truly remarkable!" Tongtian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. However, he was unaware that this formation originated from Jiang Yun's Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.
Laozi also opened his eyes and looked at the unformed Great Formation. After a long while, he closed his eyes again and said, "In any case, we don't need to go to this Demon Clan Grand Ceremony. The conflict between the Whirlpool King, the Witch-Demon, and the Immortal Court has only just begun. We must not get involved. Our priority should be to meditate and improve our cultivation!"
After hearing this, Tongtian and Yuanshi agreed and then closed their eyes to meditate.
