Cosmic Stars Grand Formation (Seeking Further Reading, Seeking Monthly Votes!)

At the sight of such a phenomenon, Dijun and the many great powers of the Solar God Palace, standing amid the void, instantly felt a connection. The Heavenly Realm Ruins were fated to be theirs.

Dijun and Taiyi in particular found that their own fortune vaguely resonated with the space beyond the passage, surging sharply by a great deal.

Within the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruits of the two, the Great Sun Golden Crow dharma forms manifested by the power of fortune swelled to a colossal ten thousand zhang.

"Hahaha, the Heavenly Realm Ruins are fated to my Solar God Palace. This time, our 'Yao Race Heavenly Court' is destined to flourish!"

Golden light flickered in Dijun's eyes as he could not help bursting into laughter. Taiyi beside him and the many great powers of the Solar God Palace were likewise overjoyed.

With the Heavenly Realm Ruins as their foundation, once they established the 'Yao Race Heavenly Court,' they could boldly gather and recruit the Yao Race tribes. Their strength would surely grow by leaps and bounds.

It could be said that, so long as the Solar God Palace under Dijun and Taiyi's leadership did not touch the core interests of Great Divine Ability Users, and merely gathered the lowly-rooted hoofed, scaled, furred, feathered, and shelled creatures Between Heaven and Earth into the Yao Race—

No Great Divine Ability User would dare stroke Dijun and Taiyi's tiger whiskers and make trouble for themselves!

After Dijun and Taiyi finished laughing, rainbow radiance flickered around them. They transformed into two streaks of rainbow light and shot into the passage.

The great powers of the Solar God Palace closely followed Dijun and Taiyi, all stepping upon cloudlight as they entered together.

After passing through the passage, a massive gate appeared before them. Its plaque bore Innate Divine Script, spelling out the three characters: "South Heaven Gate."

Beyond the South Heaven Gate lay the true Heavenly Realm Ruins, whose sights were even more astonishing. As far as the eye could see, ten-thousand-zhang jade steps rose suspended in the air, while three thousand mysterious rays of light cascaded down from the firmament.

Pavilions and palaces were wreathed in immortal qi; ten thousand streams of golden light rolled crimson rainbows, while a thousand strands of auspicious qi spewed purple mist. Crimson gauze robes, resplendent stars; lotus crowns, dazzling gold and jade; jade hairpins and pearl shoes, purple cords and golden seals.

There were also jade doors studded with golden nails, painted phoenixes dancing over vermilion gates, covered walkways and winding corridors, every place exquisitely translucent. Three eaves and four clustered roofs rose Layer Upon Layer, with dragons and phoenixes soaring above them. Atop it all stood a towering purple, round golden, brilliantly gleaming great golden gourd roof—truly imposing beyond compare.

When Dijun beheld the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, he was beside himself with excitement, a smile lingering on his face throughout.

Pointing at the distant expanse, he said, "Hahaha, the Nine Heavens Domains of the Divine Demon Dao Era in the archaic age have actually evolved into the Thirty-Three Heavens today.

"The spiritual qi here is rich, and Starlight Power is abundant. The great realms of the Thirty-Three Heavens are boundless enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of Yao Race cultivators.

"This is Heaven blessing the 'Yao Race Heavenly Court,' allowing my Solar God Palace to obtain this divine artifact. Our 'Yao Race Heavenly Court' is destined to flourish!"

Taiyi, Bai Ze, Ji Meng, Yingzhao, and the other Yao Sages all praised him in unison, their hearts brimming with excitement.

"Each layer of the Heavenly Realm's Thirty-Three Heavens is a great realm in its own right, not one bit inferior to the 'Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.'

"With this 'divine artifact,' the foundation of fortune for our 'Yao Race Heavenly Court' has been established from this day forth!

"Moreover, this Heavenly Court treasure land was the central hub from which the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Emperors ruled heaven and earth during the Divine Demon Dao Era. For the two Imperial Lords to obtain this 'divine artifact' surely means they are Yao Race sovereigns favored by the destiny of the Heavenly Dao!"

Bai Ze's face was full of excitement, and he could scarcely contain his agitation. With every word, he sang Dijun and Taiyi's praises.

Yet Ji Meng, Yingzhao, Jiu Ying, and the other Yao Sages beside him, along with the great powers of the Solar God Palace, rather agreed with his flattering words.

After all, ever since Heavenly Emperor Jiutou Shi had failed in his attempt to break through to Hunyuan and fallen beneath the Hunyuan Dao Tribulation, the Heavenly Realm Heavenly Court Ruins had vanished after the twilight of the gods.

During the Dao Era of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans, they had left no trace whatsoever. The Great Divine Ability Users of the three clans that had dominated the Primordial World turned Buzhou Mountain—and even the central region of the Primordial World—upside down, yet failed to find the slightest scrap of news.

And now, Dijun and Taiyi had taken possession of it. Was this not destiny?

Furthermore, this Heavenly Realm domain had evolved from the Nine Heavens Domains of the archaic age into the present Thirty-Three Heavens, becoming even more vast and boundless, capable of bearing even more living beings.

Was this not perfectly suited to Dijun's great Dao ideal that all things could be transformed into Yao, opening the 'Yao Race Heavenly Court'?

After all, among the living beings under the heavens—the five immortals and five insects—it would be the lowly-rooted yet numerous hoofed, scaled, furred, feathered, and shelled creatures who would become the Yao Race's fresh forces in the future.

Upon Stepping Into the Heavenly Court's central hub, Lingxiao Palace, a dense essence of the Cosmic Stars descended, making the great powers of the Solar God Palace beam with delight.

Even Dijun and Taiyi had smiles in their eyes at this moment, both shocked and delighted.

One had to know that this Cosmic Stars essence was derived from Star Origin, an exceedingly rare Innate Spiritual Item.

Whether it was tempering the Primordial Spirit, enhancing one's Daoxing and divine abilities, or refining the Dao body and forging an indestructible fleshly body, this Cosmic Stars essence could produce miraculous effects.

But if that were all, it would merely grant the 'Yao Race Heavenly Court' some additional cultivation resources. How could it possibly move Dijun and Taiyi, two Great Divine Ability Users standing at the pinnacle of the Primordial World?

What truly left the two both shocked and delighted were the streams of starlight circling the firmament within Lingxiao Palace, resembling the three hundred and sixty-five Cosmic Stars in the Primordial World's starry sky.

"Hahaha, the 'Cosmic Stars Grand Formation,' which suppressed the foundations of the Heavenly Court during the Divine Demon Dao Era of the archaic age and rivaled a Hunyuan grand formation, has actually been passed down as well.

"Heaven truly aids me! The 'Yao Race Heavenly Court' is destined to flourish!

"Originally Thought the 'Cosmic Stars Grand Formation' had been destroyed in Jiutou Shi's Hunyuan Dao Tribulation. It seems this Emperor underestimated that Divine Demon Heavenly Emperor..."

Gazing at the streams of starlight across the firmament of Lingxiao Palace, Dijun laughed loudly.

"Indeed, we are truly favored by the Heavenly Dao..." Taiyi and the great powers of the Solar God Palace gazed at the Star essence before them, joy written across their faces.

One had to know that after Emperor Cangli opened the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court during the Divine Demon Dao Era, the 'Cosmic Stars Grand Formation'—a peerless formation—had been painstakingly deduced by gathering the wisdom of all gods and demons of that era through the Heavenly Dao divine artifact, the Jade Disk of Creation.

Afterward, it underwent constant deduction and refinement through the eras of Earth Emperor Yuejian and Human Emperor Jiutou Shi. It could be said that the 'Cosmic Stars Grand Formation' embodied the wisdom of the entire Divine Demon Dao Era.

Without that, what would outstanding talent, roots, and fortune amount to?

How could a Hunyuan grand formation such as the 'Cosmic Stars Grand Formation' possibly be deduced by a mere handful of Great Divine Ability Users in a short time?

After all, beneath Hunyuan, all were ants!

Having obtained the 'Cosmic Stars Grand Formation,' Dijun was overjoyed. Pointing at the realm of the Thirty-Three Heavens, he declared, "The Thirty-Three Heavens possess rich Innate Spiritual Qi and abundant Starlight Power. They are destined to become the domain of my 'Yao Race Heavenly Court.'

"Hear my command: you are to immediately summon the Yao Race tribes under the Solar God Palace and gather the living beings of the Primordial World, transforming them into Yao Race tribes.

"Once this Emperor reports to Teacher Hongjun, we shall soon formally offer sacrifices to the Heavenly Dao, establish the Yao Race, and open the Heavenly Court!"

"By your command!" The mighty figures of the Solar God Palace all beamed with delight as they bowed in unison to Dijun and Taiyi.

After dismissing the others, Dijun kept behind the two wise men, Bai Ze and Ji Meng. Looking at them with a grave expression, he said, "Bai Ze, Ji Meng, I have kept you two behind because I have an important task to assign. This concerns the rise and fall of the future 'Yao Race Heavenly Court.'"

"Please give your orders, Your Majesty!" Bai Ze and Ji Meng clasped their fists with both hands, their expressions solemn.

"Bai Ze, take my handwritten letter to Fengqi Mountain and sound out Fellow Daoists Fuxi and Nuwa regarding their stance on establishing the 'Yao Race Heavenly Court.'

"If they are willing to join, Taiyi and I will personally invite them and grant Fengqi Mountain two positions as Demon Emperors.

"Ji Meng, go to the Northern Sea and sound out Fellow Daoist Kunpeng's intentions. The offer is a position as Demon Emperor..."

Hearing Dijun's orders, Bai Ze and Ji Meng's expressions grew grave. They knew full well how weighty this matter was.

In the Primordial World, most Gods and Devils with the lineage of innate Beast Gods belonged to one of the three major powers: the Solar God Palace, Fengqi Mountain, and the Northern Sea.

If the Fengqi Mountain and Northern Sea lineages could join the 'Yao Race Heavenly Court,' only then could the Yao Race's destiny be complete.

After all, Gods and Devils with the lineage of innate Beast Gods carried far too much weight in the destiny of the Yao Race Heavenly Court.

Under the notion that all living beings were Yao, the so-called "Yao" were a species Dijun had derived by taking the innate Beast Gods as his model.

"By your command!" After Bai Ze and Ji Meng bowed to Dijun, they left with heavy hearts, carrying his handwritten letter.

Once their figures vanished, Taiyi, who had remained silent beside him the entire time, looked at Dijun and asked, "Big Brother, do you think Fuxi, Nuwa, and Kunpeng will agree to join the 'Yao Race Heavenly Court'?"

Seeing Taiyi's puzzled expression, Dijun gave a mysterious smile. "That will depend on the choices of those three fellow Daoists!

"If they are favored by the Heavenly Dao, they will surely agree to join.

"If they are not blessed by the destiny of heaven and earth, then we will deal with them later. No matter what, the destiny of the 'Yao Race Heavenly Court' must be made complete!"

Kunlun Mountain.

Shangqing Palace, Qingxuan Hall.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes. This time, in comprehending the Way of Earth and Profound Yellow left behind by Yue Jianshi, he had remained in seclusion for a full three thousand years.

Even so, he had merely given it a cursory examination, mainly comprehending the framework and veins of the Way of Earth and Profound Yellow.

As for the detailed transformations of the Great Dao, he had only skimmed across them like a dragonfly touching water.

This Way of Earth and Profound Yellow might have been no more than a branch and leaf of Yue Jianshi's Great Dao, but it was still a branch and leaf of the Great Dao of the Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor, who had once charged toward the Primordial Dao Fruit and commanded awe across the Primordial World.

For a cultivator like Lu Yuan, who had only just attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, it was like a Great Dao forest stretching beyond sight.

If he studied it in detail, not only would it consume vast amounts of time, but it might also warp the Profound Yellow Great Dao he had comprehended himself, harming his own Dao!

This was something Lu Yuan could not tolerate. Naturally, he could only comprehend it roughly and slowly absorb the Way of Earth and Profound Yellow Yue Jianshi had left behind.

At the Golden Immortal realm, one began to condense the Power of the Great Dao. This was precisely the time to lay down one's Great Dao Foundation, and he had to establish the most solid and unshakable Dao foundation possible!

This era belonged to the Witch and Demon Clans. It was not yet Lu Yuan's turn to step forward while sheltered beneath the wings of the Sanqing Daoists.

Since that was the case, why not use this peaceful period to accumulate his reserves and temper his foundation? Only after the Witch and Demon Clans exited the stage, and the great teachings of the Saints cast their might over the Primordial World, would it be time for him to reveal his brilliance.
