East King Duke Visits Hua Tian Peak Again
When the East King Duke descended upon Kunlun Mountain, Luo Qing had already noticed the arrival of this "old friend".
They saw that the East King Duke was heading straight for Hua Tian Peak.
Luo Qing was still thinking to himself when the second sermon at the Purplexiao Palace ended.
Shouldn't this guy be preparing to establish Immortal Court and compete with Di Jun's Demon Court?
Why come to Kunlun Mountain to find him at this time?
"Are you planning to recruit me into the Immortal Court?"
After much thought, Luo Qing could only come up with this one answer.
However, Luo Qing did not actually refuse the visit of the Quasi-Sage, the East King Duke.
He wanted to see what the East King Duke was up to.
When East King Duke arrived outside Hua Tian Peak and addressed him as "fellow Daoist"...
Luo Qing also arrived at the reception area on Hua Tian Peak and activated the protective array of Hua Tian Peak.
They invited the East King Duke into Hua Tian Peak.
Luo Qing and He East King Duke sat facing each other, exchanging simple greetings.
Then East King Duke, "Fellow Luo Qing, it feels like just yesterday that we parted ways at Kunlun Mountain."
Your Hua Tian Peak Dao Field is becoming more and more magnificent! Wonderful, truly wonderful!
As he spoke, East King Duke's eyes revealed admiration and envy.
When he first came to Kunlun Mountain, Kunlun Mountain and Hua Tian Peak were just ordinary, Primordial Wilderness immortal mountains and rivers.
He didn't even consider it a good match.
Who could have imagined that several Kalpa Cycle pass?
This Kunlun Mountain has actually become a top-tier Spirit Mountain Immortals land of Primordial Wilderness primordial world.
If he had known this would happen, he would have settled down in the Kunlun Mountain back then.
Luo Qing laughed and said, "I am ashamed to say that I am merely enjoying the blessings of Fellow Three Pure Ones and Fairy Xihua."
When it comes to blessed places for cultivation, Kunlun Mountain is indeed considered the best in the Primordial Wilderness.
Luo Qing and East King Duke chatted and laughed, exchanging ideas on law and discussing the past and present.
The conversation then turned to the recent Saint Preaching at the Purplexiao Palace.
More than half a month passed in this manner.
Seeing that the two had finished catching up, Luo Qing decided not to waste any more time with East King Duke.
He asked directly:
"I wonder what important matter brings Fellow Daoist Donghua to Kunlun Mountain to visit me this time?"
The East King Duke had been looking for an opportunity to mention the establishment of the Immortal Court to Luo Qing.
Now that Luo Qing had asked, the East King Duke no longer hesitated and directly stated his purpose.
"What do you think of the Demon Court established by Di Jun, Fellow Daoist Luo?"
Luo Qing smiled inwardly, thinking to himself, "So, the East King Duke really came for this matter."
In response to the East King Duke's inquiry, Luo Qing certainly could not praise the Demon Court.
"These worthless wretches are not worth mentioning!"
"Hahaha! Daoist Luo, we share the same view, like gods."
A bunch of beasts with fur and horns dared to call themselves the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor, attempting to rule over Primordial Gods.
This makes no sense!
Hearing the arrogant words of the East King Duke, Luo Qing rolled his eyes inwardly, but smiled and remained silent.
Does this make no sense?
I wonder who's being so nonsensical?
When the topic turned to the Heavenly Court, the East King Duke stopped beating around the bush.
"Fellow Luo Qing, I am the Chief of All Male Immortals appointed by the Sage Hongjun, and I am the most revered among Ten Thousand Immortals."
"Are you interested in setting things right and joining me in creating a legitimate Primordial Wilderness Immortal Court to rule over Primordial Myriad Spirits?"
As East King Duke spoke, his gaze was fixed intently on Luo Qing.
They eagerly awaited Luo Qing's enthusiastic agreement.
Unfortunately, this disappointed the East King Duke.
Luo Qing simply smiled and shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist Donghua is too kind. This god is used to a life of leisure and cannot bear the hard work of creating some kind of Immortal Court."
What I yearn for is Great Ease and unfettered ease; my ambition lies not in the Immortal Court!
Upon hearing Luo Qing's words, East King Duke's bright eyes immediately dimmed considerably.
However, I was also truly relieved.
He thought to himself, "This is for the best."
If Luo Qing really did participate in the creation of the Immortal Court, then his position as the Lord of the Immortal Court might not be so secure!
Inviting Luo Qing to the Immortal Court was originally just a side effect.
The East King Duke's true target was the "Fairy Xihua," the Chief of All Female Immortals.
"What a pity! I originally wanted to create a new era with Fellow Luo Qing."
The East King Duke said it was a pity, but his tone immediately changed.
"Then, Fellow Luo Qing, could you please introduce me to Jade Pool Fairy Xihua?"
She was also the Chief of All Female Immortals appointed by the Sage Hongjun; it would be a real pity if she didn't participate in the Immortal Court.
Upon hearing the words of the East King Duke, Luo Qing's mind went blank for a moment.
What?
Invite Fairy Xihua to join a Immortal Court that only has a name?
Luo Qing instantly understood the purpose of the East King Duke's visit to Kunlun Mountain.
She was just pretending to invite him; her real intention was to steal him away!
In that instant, Luo Qing mentally sentenced East King Duke to death.
Even if Di Jun and Tai Yi do not destroy East King Duke in the future.
Luo Qing will also have the East King Duke buried with him along with the "Immortal Court" he so desperately desires.
However, he was indeed appointed by the Sage Hongjun as the "Chief of All Male Immortals".
Luo Qing kept his murderous intent to himself and did not immediately break off relations.
"I'm sorry, the Lord of Jade Pool is currently in seclusion and has no time to join the Immortal Court!"
The East King Duke's request was flatly rejected, leaving East King Duke surprised and furious.
He truly hadn't expected that Luo Qing would refuse even such a small favor as introducing him to someone.
The two parted on bad terms.
On Hua Tian Peak, Luo Qing watched as the East King Duke walked away with a grim expression.
A cold smile crept across his lips.
Originally, he did not want to get involved in the conflict between the Demon Court and the Immortal Court.
Now, he has changed his mind.
Regardless of whether the Demon Court changes its strategy to annihilate the Immortal Court, the East King Duke is definitely not going to live to see the next time Saint Preaching at the Purplexiao Palace.
After leaving Hua Tian Peak in anger, East King Duke didn't even go to Jade Pool or Jade Void Mountain.
He knew that Luo Qing had refused, and the other two places definitely wouldn't join the Immortal Court either.
"The plan to win over Fairy Xihua has failed; it seems we need to find another partner."
The East King Duke sighed and immediately transformed into light, disappearing beyond the Kunlun Mountain.
Over the next few thousand years, East King Duke visited the sacred sites and Dao Field of the Top Deity on the sacred mountains.
He intended to use his position as the Chief of All Immortals to invite all the gods and immortals to join his so-called "Immortal Court".
Unfortunately, the weight of this Chief of All Male Immortals is rather light.
Even if it was appointed by the Sage Hongjun, very few powerful immortals and gods would acknowledge it.
Few of the Primordial Immortal Gods, who revered a carefree and unrestrained life, accepted the invitation from the East King Duke.
However, as the East King Duke's visits increased, so did his footprints.
The East King Duke wishes to invite all the gods to jointly establish Immortal Court.
News of the desire to challenge the Heavenly Court and set things right spread throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
In the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun, who was both the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court and the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, was among the first to receive news of the East King Duke's intention to establish Immortal Court.
Di Jun's face immediately darkened.
A secret order was sent among the demons to closely monitor the movements of the East King Duke.
"The Immortal Court? To set things right? They're truly courting death."
"It just so happens that since the establishment of my Heavenly Court, we have been lacking an object to establish our authority."
A murderous intent flashed across Di Jun; anyone who challenged the Heavenly Court was an enemy.
East King Duke was unaware that he had already been targeted by the Demon Emperor Di Jun.
Over thousands of years, the East King Duke Duke's attempts to recruit people have yielded meager results.
This made the East King Duke somewhat disheartened.
Just then, an uninvited guest arrived at the East King Duke.
They wanted to support him in establishing Immortal Court.
