Penglai's Dong Wanggong Establishes the Immortal Court, Xuanxiao Schemes to Establish the Demon Clan

After that, about twenty years passed. The Ancestral Witches brought Dong Wanggong back to Pangu Hall and beat him for a full twenty years. Then, seeing that he had made no progress at all, only Xuanming remarked that kicking Dong Wanggong felt pretty good... Finally, they got tired of beating him and threw him out.

On Kunlun Mountain, Laozi said, "The Ancestral Witches will come to Kunlun Mountain sooner or later to fight us over that so-called Orthodox Descendant of Pangu. What should we do?"

Xuanxiao pondered for a moment before saying, "Eldest Uncle, I have a solution, but it will involve some karma. What do you think?"

Laozi asked doubtfully, "What solution? Tell me about it. Will the karma be serious?"

Xuanxiao said, "The Witch Clan has enormous appetites and often hunts the various races. Most of the races harbor grievances against them. If the various races joined together and formed a clan to resist the Witch Clan, would they still have time to come to Kunlun Mountain and cause us trouble? As for the future... the Witch Clan has no souls, so their cultivation will naturally be slower than ours. It won't matter."

Tongtian said, "Directly gathering the Myriad Races would bring great benefits, but the karma would be substantial too. It's somewhat dangerous, isn't it?"

Xuanxiao said, "Old Father, now you know why I gave up my seat to Taiyi, right? I saw it the first time we met. He and Dijun possess the Nine-Nine Fated Patterns, an incomparably noble destiny. They can lead the Myriad Races."

Laozi nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Nephew, you really do have a way. I'll leave this matter to you. How about it?"

Xuanxiao said, "It's that simple."

While the family on Kunlun Mountain was discussing how to restrain the Ancestral Witches, a major event occurred on Penglai Island: Dong Wanggong began establishing the Immortal Court. Dong Wanggong gathered a portion of the living beings and swore toward the heavens, "Heavenly Dao above, I, Dong Wanggong, was personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the Head of Male Immortals. Today, I establish the Immortal Court on Penglai Island to rule over the Primordial Wilderness."

Rumble! In an instant, merit descended from the heavens, along with a Dragon Head Crutch for Dong Wanggong. And just like that, Dong Wanggong became the Immortal King and embarked on his journey of courting death.

Well, he first went looking for the good-natured couple, Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi. (I'm indulging in a little wicked amusement here.) Now, let's shift the scene to Wuzhuang Temple. Dong Wanggong brought a group of men to the front of Wuzhuang Temple and said, "Brother Zhenyuanzi, I have now established the Immortal Court. Would you be willing to join my Immortal Court and discuss great matters together?"

From within Wuzhuang Temple, Zhenyuanzi's leisurely voice drifted out. "I only wish to cultivate in peace by myself and have no lofty ambitions. I'll have to decline."

Dong Wanggong shouted angrily, "The Dao Ancestor appointed me as the Head of Male Immortals, to rule over the male immortals of the Primordial Wilderness. Brother Zhenyuanzi, are you refusing to respect the Dao Ancestor's command?"

Even the good-natured Zhen Yuanzi became angry. Looking at Hong Yun, he said, "How about we beat him up? The few fellows he brought are only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and who knows where he scraped them together from."

Hong Yun said, "If we beat him while in male immortal form, we'll inevitably offend the Dao Ancestor..."

Zhen Yuanzi frowned and said, "An Innate Demon God can be male or female. How about you change into a female form? At worst, I'll become Dao Companions with you. You can eat as many Ginseng Fruits as you want. How does that sound?"

Hong Yun's eyes lit up when she heard this. She immediately transformed into a stunning beauty in red robes and said, "Beat him up! How dare he bully my Dao Companion? Anyone who dares bully Fairy Hongyun won't be spared."

And so, Hong Yun appeared directly and said, "So what if you're the Head of Male Immortals, Dong Wanggong? I'm not a male immortal anymore. Zhenyuan, let's attack together and beat him up!"

Zhen Yuanzi also attacked. With a single move, Universe in a Sleeve, he took in Dong Wanggong's entire group. Looking at Hong Yun, he said with a beaming smile, "Dong Wanggong is currently the Head of Male Immortals. I can't disrespect the Dao Ancestor and attack him myself, so I'll leave him to you. Oh, and take this Dragon Skin Seven Star Whip. Give him a good whipping." With that, he produced a whip and handed it to Hong Yun. Then he used the Earth Book to wrap a protective membrane around her.

Zhen Yuanzi thought, Attacking the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor would count as disrespecting the Dao Ancestor. But I'm only putting a layer of protection on my wife. That shouldn't be a problem, right?

And so, Dong Wanggong fell into the predicament of being soundly whipped by a certain beauty in red. Meanwhile, the various great powers secretly watching the battle with their Divine Senses were all delighted. Look at Kunlun Mountain—even the normally stern Yuanshi was smiling as he said, "Eldest Brother, Third Brother, Hong Yun's move was truly brilliant. To beat Dong Wanggong, she directly changed careers and became a female immortal. Can that really work?"

Tongtian said, "Why wouldn't it? It's only because we're used to male immortal forms. Otherwise, we could transform too."

Laozi stroked his beard and said, "You'd better settle down. You, transform into a female immortal? What will happen when Xiao'er's mother comes back? Shall we give him two mothers?"

Tongtian recalled his Dao Companion's temper when Xuanxiao had been born. He hastily shook his head, indicating that the thought was too terrifying to imagine. One had to understand that back then, he had never once managed to turn the tables.
