Primordial Era: Become a Disciple of Laozi, I Refine Mythical Golden Elixirs

Yuanshi raised an eyebrow and said, "Naturally, I'm not satisfied. This is the Witch-Demon Calamity, why are these humans meddling?"

Tongtian remained noncommittal and replied, "The Demon Race has been oppressing the Human Race for many years. It's understandable for humans to act this way."

Yuanshi glanced at Laozi, who remained silent, and said, "Since Luo Xuan is Big Brother's head disciple, he naturally represents us, the Three Pure Ones."

"If others know he's involved in the Witch-Demon Calamity with humans, how will all beings in the Great Desolation view us?"

Tongtian stroked his chin and retorted, "Humans help the Witch Clan refine pills, and the Witch Clan protects humans. This is a good thing for both sides. I think it's quite good."

"Luo Xuan is a person who values loyalty and righteousness, with a broad and clear Dao heart."

Yuanshi couldn't reach an agreement, so he looked at Laozi and asked, "Big Brother, what do you think?"

Laozi stroked his beard and said, "Third Brother makes sense."

"Moreover, merely helping humans refine pills is insufficient. Helping the Witch Clan refine pills might allow for further advancements in the Pill Dao."

Yuanshi felt a bit helpless.

Ever since Laozi accepted Luo Xuan as his disciple, it was like a turtle looking at a green bean – they just clicked.

Even after their cultivation sessions, Laozi would mention Luo Xuan with all sorts of praise.

"Big Brother, Luo Xuan is involved in the Witch-Demon Calamity. Aren't you worried about any accidents happening to him?"

Laozi smiled indifferently and said, "Without trials and tribulations, how can one strive for progress? It's good for young people to face some setbacks."

Yuanshi asked curiously, "We all know Luo Xuan's talent. What if Di Jun makes a move against him?"

"How dare he! Luo Xuan is my head disciple, which represents the face of us, the Three Pure Ones."

Laozi said expressionlessly, "If he truly makes a move against Luo Xuan, I think the Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Court should be replaced."

Yuanshi was rendered speechless.

At this moment, a large number of demons had gathered in the Heavenly Court, and many more were flocking in.

News of the Demon Race's defeat by the Witch Clan had already spread throughout the Heavenly Court.

All the demons were dispirited, unsure why Di Jun had summoned them.

As they wondered, Di Jun, clad in imperial robes, appeared before them.

"Sons of the Demon Race, not long ago, our Demon Race was defeated by the Witch Clan. Are you willing to accept this?"

"We are not willing!"

Di Jun's words were met with a thunderous roar.

Di Jun nodded and asked, "Do you know why we lost?"

"Because of the humans!"

As the words fell, a commotion erupted among the demons.

They thought they had misheard.

Was it the humans they were thinking of?

How could that be?!

"You heard correctly, it is precisely because of the humans!"

"They refined pills for the Witch Clan, which caused our Demon Race to suffer a great loss."

"Kill them all!"

Upon thinking of the humans they had always lorded over, who were now helping the Witch Clan, all the demons let out roars.

Di Jun raised his hand to calm the crowd and said, "Humans were created by Empress Wa, and they are members of our Demon Race."

"This expedition to Shouyang Mountain is to bring the humans into our Demon Race."

Gui Che stepped forward and said, "The pills of the Human Race can make the physical bodies of the Witch Clan resilient."

"If they refine pills for our Demon Race, destroying the Witch Clan will be as easy as flipping our hands!"

The demons' eyes lit up.

Many among the demons had participated in the previous battle and could deeply feel that power.

The thought of them also possessing such formidable strength made all the demons' blood boil.

Di Jun gazed at Shouyang Mountain and said in a deep voice.

"Anyone unwilling to refine pills for our Demon Race will be killed without mercy!"

"Roar!!!"

All the demons became even more excited, their eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light. Chapter 23: What Did the Humans Do?

Seeing the demons' fervor, Di Jun nodded slightly at Tai Yi.

Tai Yi understood immediately and unleashed the Chaos Bell.

"Clang!"

The heavy bell tolls echoed through the heavens, and all the demons flew out of the Heavenly Court in a mighty exodus.

Such a massive commotion from the Heavenly Court thoroughly alarmed the entire Primordial Era.

Countless powerful beings opened their eyes.

"Di Jun and Tai Yi, what a grand display."

"So many demons, are they intending to duel the Witch Clan?"

"No, judging by their direction, they seem to be heading towards... Shouyang Mountain."

Everyone felt a sense of bewilderment.

Some powerful beings were even more shocked.

Di Jun and Tai Yi were both quasi-saints. With so many demons accompanying them, even the Witch Clan would have to be cautious.

If it were them, they wouldn't be able to last even half a moment.

How could the Human Race have offended the Heavenly Court to warrant such a powerful force being deployed?

Di Jun's eyes held a hint of pride, completely unfazed by the gazes of the powerful beings.

He even wished more people would witness this.

He wanted everyone to know the consequences of opposing his Heavenly Court!

Soon, the demon army arrived at Shouyang Mountain.

All the humans were stunned.

"The Demon Race..."

They had never seen so many demons before. They stood frozen in place, their expressions filled with the terror of seeing the apocalypse.

The Three Ancestors appeared immediately, their faces grim as they surveyed the scene.

"You are the Three Ancestors of the Human Race?"

With a flash, Gui Che appeared before the Three Ancestors, hatred flashing in his eyes.

If it weren't for the Human Race, he wouldn't have been so humiliated in front of Kuafu.

Suiren Shi nodded. "Indeed. What does your Heavenly Court intend to do?"

Gui Che let out a cold laugh. "Human Race, from this moment on, you will surrender to my Heavenly Court."

At this moment, Gui Che had already envisioned dozens of ways to torment the Human Race.

He wanted the humans to refine pills for the demons day and night!

If they were slow, he would make their lives worse than death!

Suiren Shi's gaze sharpened, and he shook his head. "Impossible!"

Gui Che's eyes narrowed instantly, and killing intent permeated the air.

"Human Race, our Demon Emperor of the Heavenly Court is watching from above. I'll give you one more chance."

"Submit, or be destroyed."

Suiren Shi shook his head without hesitation. "We remember everything the Demon Race has done to us."

"Our Human Race will never coexist with you. Do a bunch of beasts really think we'll surrender!"

Suiren Shi's tone was firm.

"You court death!"

A cold glint flashed in Gui Che's eyes as he struck out at the Three Ancestors with a palm.

A giant palm phantom materialized in the air.

The Three Ancestors' expressions changed, and they each summoned their Merit spiritual treasures.

Ziyi Clan manifested a divine armor and took the brunt of the attack, while the other two circulated their internal magical power to resist.

"A glow of firefly, daring to compete with the brilliant moon?"

A sneer flashed in Gui Che's eyes.

"Boom!"

As the auras clashed, the Three Ancestors were sent flying backward, their eyes glazed over.

Gui Che clearly had no intention of letting them go and pursued them.

Just then, Gui Che's eyes caught sight of something flying towards him, and a sense of alarm immediately arose in his heart.

Gui Che decisively stopped his advance.

The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler flashed past him.

"Old Ancestor!"

Luo Xuan immediately flew out, catching the three of them.
