When the Fairy Zi Guang came to pay her respects, she knew that the visitor was Quasi-Sage and a great power.

Long Ling immediately came out of the mountain to greet him.

"Senior Zi Guang, my master already knew of your arrival in advance."

However, the teacher is currently in a crucial period of seclusion for cultivation and is unable to come out to entertain fellow Daoists.

My teacher instructed me to lead you to the Jade Pool, where my teacher's wife will receive you.

Zi Guang was slightly disappointed by Luo Qing's avoidance of him.

However, after hearing Long Ling's words, a glimmer of hope rose again.

He asked, "Is your teacher's Daoist partner the Fairy Xihua?"

Long Ling said, "Exactly!"

Zi Guang and Fairy Xihua had met before.

He nodded, not declining.

"Young friend, please lead the way!"

Fairy Xihua had already been informed by Luo Qing in advance.

For Fairy Zi Guang, all she needed to do was keep them around to entertain them.

After Fairy Zi Guang entered Jade Pool, Fairy Xihua personally received her.

Back then in the Star Sea, they only had a superficial exchange and discussion.

Both are now Quasi-Sage, with Fairy Xihua having already entered the Mid Quasi-Sage.

The two also seemed to share a similar Path of Attaining the Dao.

The Fairy Xihua is limited by her Foundation; she is the Heavenly Dao Mother.

The Path of Attaining the Dao requires passing through the barrier of the Dao Mother.

The Fairy Zi Guang is also the primordial Lord of All Stars in the Primordial World, and the mother of the Star Sea.

He wanted to Attain Sainthood and ultimately reach the pinnacle of enlightenment.

It is only through nurturing stars in the Star Sea that one can embark on the path of becoming Star Mother.

This explains why, even though the demon race was powerful and had invaded the Star Sea.

The main reason why Zi Guang is unwilling to give up on the Star Sea Cluster is because of this.

Once she abandons the stars of the Star Sea, it means that Fairy Zi Guang's Dao Path is severed.

Unless Fairy Zi Guang is willing to change her Great Dao and choose another Dao Path.

This is obviously an extremely difficult task.

Now, Fairy Xihua and Fairy Zi Guang, two goddesses who are both on the Dao Mother, are exchanging Daoist teachings and are naturally having a very pleasant conversation.

Fairy Zi Guang was temporarily and secretly taken in by Fairy Xihua to cultivate in Jade Pool.

The message was not leaked outside.

At this time, in the distant Buzhou Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Marriage between the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress, presided over by Nuwa, has just concluded.

As soon as the Heavenly Marriage was completed, the merits of the Heavenly Dao Merit were divided into three and descended upon Di Jun, Chang Xi, Nuwa.

The fact that Heaven Merit undoubtedly indicates that this marriage of the Heavenly Emperor has been recognized and blessed by Heaven and Earth.

The method of forming Heavenly Marriage between Daoist partners thus became widely known among the guests at the Empress Enthronement Ceremony.

Just as thousands of guests, demons, immortals, and gods were engrossed in the banquet and revelry.

In the main hall of the Heavenly Court on the thirty-sixth heaven, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

As soon as the Demon Saint, including the Old Ancestor Kunpeng, returned to the Heavenly Court, they immediately sensed that something was amiss.

Their loyal subordinates did not switch allegiances.

He was sent away to various parts of the Primordial Wilderness by Di Jun in the name of the Heavenly Emperor.

Having finally endured until the Empress Enthronement Ceremony ended, the Demon Saint, including the Old Ancestor Kunpeng, could no longer contain themselves and launched an attack on Di Jun.

The Demon Saint Gui Che was the first to lose his temper and roared at Di Jun:

"Di Jun, what's going on?"

Without consulting us, you banished our disciples from Heavenly Court.

Is this an attempt to punish us?

Don't you even know who put you on the Heavenly Throne?

Di Jun sat high on the Heavenly Emperor's Throne, with Chang Xi, who had just become the Heavenly Empress, beside him.

Below that are Eastern Emperor Taiyi Nuwa, Empress Wa, and Emperor Xi Fuxi.

Meanwhile, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng and the other seven Demon Saint stood beside the Demon Saint Gui Che.

With their combined momentum, they forced Di Jun to abdicate.

Faced with the roar of the Gui Che, Di Jun remained calm and unmoved.

This time, Nuwa and Fuxi, however, clearly sided with Di Jun.

No longer standing idly by, he subtly aided Di Jun in resisting the nine Demon Saint.

As the Heavenly Emperor, Di Jun could not speak.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not have this concern.

He slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, saying:

"Gui Che, how dare you address the Demon Emperor Heavenly Sovereign by his name? You are far too presumptuous!"

Do you really think the Heavenly Court can't punish you for your great disrespect?

Hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's reprimand, Gui Che became even angrier.

We're all Quasi-Sage, what gives you the right to yell at me?

You should start cursing back.

"You..."

But the Gui Che had just spoken.

An awe-inspiring aura erupted from Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Surprisingly, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had also advanced to the Mid Quasi-Sage.

The immense pressure from the Mid Quasi-Sage immediately silenced Gui Che before he could utter a word.

With the support of Demon Saint like Old Ancestor Kunpeng, Gui Che was able to regain his composure.

However, the nine Demon Saint, including Gui Che, were both shocked and furious.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Di Jun, even Eastern Emperor Taiyi has advanced to the Mid Quasi-Sage.

Demon Master Kunpeng stepped forward with a dark expression.

Facing Di Jun directly, he asked:

"Your Majesty, what a clever scheme! But Your Majesty, is this truly your intention?"

Surely the Heavenly Emperor doesn't think that someone with Mid Quasi-Sage cultivation can subdue us!

Di Jun looked at the Old Ancestor Kunpeng with eyes as deep as the Stellar River.

"One is definitely not enough!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Two more auras of Mid Quasi-Sage power rose from Nuwa and Fuxi respectively.

Together with Eastern Emperor Taiyi, a total of three Quasi-Sage pressures pressed down on Old Ancestor Kunpeng and the others.

This scene made the faces of Old Ancestor Kunpeng, Gui Che, and other Demon Saint even more grim.

All three demon kings have advanced to the Mid Quasi-Sage!

What finally crushed their last shred of will to resist was an even greater pressure of cultivation that suddenly rose from Di Jun's body.

Late Quasi-Sage!

Three Mid Quasi-Sage, one Late Quasi-Sage, plus Chang Xi He and two Moon Fairy.

In this power struggle within Heavenly Court, Old Ancestor Kunpeng and his allies have no hope of winning.

"How did they cultivate so quickly!"

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng cried out in despair in his heart.

It boasted to itself that Primordial Wilderness a divine talent unparalleled in the primordial world, yet it was defeated by Di Jun and the others.

"Ahem! Everyone, everyone."

We are all demons and Quasi-Sage of the Heavenly Court, and we should be on the same path, joining hands to seek the Dao.

Why make things so unpleasant!

The moment his imposing aura was suppressed, the Demon Saint Bai Ze coughed and stepped forward.

"The Heavenly Emperor was elected by us all, and the will of the Heavenly Emperor is our will."

I'm sure the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't let us Demon Saint suffer a loss!

Heavenly Emperor, what are your plans? Please tell me directly.

This will also prevent any misunderstanding among my fellow Daoists."

When Bai Ze yielded, the face of the Old Ancestor Kunpeng couldn't help but twitch.

The other seven Demon Saint also fell silent for a moment.

Seeing Bai Ze back down, Di Jun smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Ze is right; we are all fellow Daoists."

The demon race and the Heavenly Court were established entirely thanks to everyone's support.

How could I, the Heavenly Emperor, dig my own grave and mistreat my fellow Daoists!

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng and the others secretly cursed Di Jun for his treachery.

His expression, however, had softened considerably.

The Heavenly Court is such a huge pie of profit; it's impossible to expect them to actually leave Heavenly Court.

The Demon Saint, including the Old Ancestor Kunpeng, were truly reluctant to part with it.

And so, the fifteen Quasi-Sage the demon race discussed matters for a whole month in the demon race's main hall.

Ultimately, Di Jun used a combination of harsh measures and sweet promises.

They chose to back down.

Of course, Di Jun also gave up some of his profits in the process.

For example, bestowing upon the Heavenly Court's Fortune upon the Demon Saint Demon Saints cultivation.

Regardless, Di Jun has officially completed the initial consolidation of power in the Heavenly Court.

After Di Jun of the Heavenly Court consolidated power, the Demon Race Fortune soared, and its prestige grew even stronger.

Meanwhile, the strength of the Witch Clan in the Northern Domain is also rapidly recovering and increasing.

It is foreseeable that the next battle between the two sides will be even more intense than the last.
