Chapter Summary: "Shadows in Dijun's Eyes—Establish the Heavenly Court"

Key Plot Points & Events

1. Lu Yuan explores Kunlun Mountain alone — After leaving seclusion and finding the Dao Field empty (Senior Brother Duobao and Saint Mother Jin Ling in seclusion, Nanji traveling, Three Pure Ones still digesting the Purple Xiao Palace sermon), Lu Yuan explores Kunlun Mountain's vast territory for 1,300 years, gathering spiritually precious plants and mineral veins, finding many treasures already extinct in later eras.
2. Fengqi Mountain accepts the invitation — Demon Saint Bai Ze visits Fuxi and Nuwa on Fengqi Mountain to deliver Dijun and Taiyi's invitation to join the Demon Race Heavenly Court. Fuxi divines the heavenly secrets and concludes accepting the Demon Emperor positions will benefit their cultivation, so Nuwa agrees.
3. Kunpeng rejects the invitation — Demon Saint Ji Meng visits Kunpeng Palace in the Northern Sea, but Kunpeng furiously drives him out, still holding a grudge over being ridiculed into losing his front-row seat at Purple Xiao Palace. He refuses to subordinate himself to the Dijun-Taiyi brothers.
4. Dijun's realization — Discussing with Taiyi, Dijun suddenly realizes they had acted against their own interests at Purple Xiao Palace (sabotaging their courtship of Kunpeng for no reason), suspecting their thoughts may have been secretly manipulated by a higher power (the Sage or Heavenly Dao). He decides to hide this suspicion even from Taiyi.
5. Sacrifice to Hongjun — Dijun and Taiyi travel beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens into the chaos, construct an altar, and sacrifice to Hongjun's sacred statue, seeking permission to establish the Demon Race and Heavenly Court to regulate karma and sinful power.
6. Hongjun grants permission with a warning — Dao Ancestor Hongjun allows the founding of the Heavenly Court but warns that the Heavenly Emperor's karmic burden is heavy—if they act against the natural order, ruin awaits. Dijun and Taiyi, ecstatic, ignore the warning. Hongjun privately laments afterward that Dijun "lacks the favor of the times."
7. Acceleration of the plan — With permission granted, Dijun and Taiyi rapidly gather the Demon Race from Solar God Palace, convert various primordial creatures into the Demon Race, and visit Fengqi Mountain to divide interests in advance.
8. The Twelve Ancestral Witches notice but dismiss it — Because they gained nothing from Hongjun's sermon (their pure physical-body cultivation cannot use Primordial Spirit Dao), they never entered seclusion. They observe Solar God Palace's movements but ignore them, viewing the lowly-rooted creatures as beneath their notice.

Character Developments

• Lu Yuan: Lays out a cautious, long-term cultivation strategy; demonstrates transmigrator's foresight by valuing treasures others ignore; shows patience and planning rather than rushing for quick success.
• Dijun: Shows genuine wisdom and suspicion (detecting possible external manipulation of his mind), but also fatal pride—so elated by Hongjun's approval that he ignores the explicit karmic warning.
• Taiyi: More hot-headed and aggressive—wants to eliminate Kunpeng outright; values decisiveness ("one drumbeat to finish the charge").
• Kunpeng: Proud and vengeful; values sovereignty over alliance; deepens his grudge against Dijun and Taiyi.
• Fuxi: Trusted advisor figure; his divination abilities are established as peerless among primordial great powers.
• Hongjun: Grants permission but shows subtle disapproval/worry; sighs that Dijun "lacks the favor of the times," hinting at future tragedy.
• Twelve Ancestral Witches: Arrogant and short-sighted; their disdain for "lowly roots" blinds them to the threat forming.

Significant Themes

• Fate vs. Free Will: Fuxi divines destiny; Dijun suspects his choices were manipulated; Hongjun hints Dijun lacks heavenly favor despite his virtue.
• Karma and Consequence: Hongjun explicitly warns that the Heavenly Emperor's position carries heavy karmic debt—those who violate the natural order will face tribulation and fall.
• Pride and Foresight: Contrast between those who plan carefully (Lu Yuan, Dijun's strategy) and those whose pride blinds them (Kunpeng, the Twelve Ancestral Witches).
• The Unseen Hand: The suggestion that even great powers like Dijun can have their thoughts altered without knowing—raising questions about whether the Heavenly Dao or Sage manipulates events.

• Dijun ↔ Taiyi: Brotherly counsel; Taiyi's bloodthirst tempered by Dijun's broader vision; Dijun conceals his suspicions from his own brother.
• Dijun & Taiyi ↔ Hongjun: Formal petition; Hongjun's terse approval with warning; his private lament marks the first sign of the Heavenly Court's eventual tragedy.
