With that, Dijun turned and departed.
Earlier, after inviting Nuwa and Fuxi to join the Demon Race Heavenly Court, Dijun had enfeoffed them as Wa Huang and Xi Huang.
Nuwa's Dao Field was established beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven, in the Great Purity Heaven, on the Wilds of Li Guang, at Wa Huang Palace.
Soon, Dijun arrived at Wa Huang Palace.
The entire palace was built against a cliff.
With the rugged cliff face as its foundation and the vast sea of clouds as its curtain.
Radiant with five-colored light, auspicious mists swirled in profusion.
Dijun pressed down his cloud and landed outside Wa Huang Palace.
Just then, a small child, exquisitely carved like jade, walked out from the palace.
The child was named Ling Zhuzi.
His original form was an Innate Spiritual Stone. When Nuwa encountered it, she gathered the essence of heaven and earth, nourished it with the radiance of the sun and moon, shaped it into form, and accepted it as her personal disciple.
Though this little one was dressed as a Daoist acolyte, spiritual light swirled around him, and his aura pulsed with profound Dao resonance, clearly indicating no weak cultivation.
Seeing Dijun arrive in person, Ling Zhuzi bowed respectfully:
"Greetings, Yao Emperor!"
Dijun nodded slightly and inquired:
"Is Wa Huang present?"
Ling Zhuzi blinked and replied in a crisp, clear voice:
"The Yao Emperor has come at an unlucky time. My master left the Dao Field yesterday, saying she would travel the Primordial Land to seek the opportunity for attaining sainthood."
"Oh?"
Hearing Ling Zhuzi's answer, Dijun furrowed his brow slightly and sighed inwardly:
"Wa Huang is not at her Dao Field—truly an unlucky turn."
Earlier, Dijun had intended to come and discuss matters with Nuwa.
Now, the situation in the Primordial Land was growing increasingly unstable.
Especially the Immortal Court of Purple Mansion Prefecture, under East King Duke, which was pressing the Demon Race aggressively.
"Hoo..."
After pondering for a moment, Dijun took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Ling Zhuzi:
"In that case, when Wa Huang returns, please inform her that This Emperor came to visit."
Ling Zhuzi smiled faintly and cupped his hands toward Dijun:
"Rest assured, Yao Emperor. Ling Zhuzi will remember!"
After that, Dijun did not linger and turned to leave.
Leaving Wa Huang Palace, Dijun was about to return to the Demon Court when he was halted midway by a clear, resonant voice:
"Yao Emperor, please stay!"
Startled, Dijun looked back.
He saw a man in a green robe, with a refined and scholarly countenance, riding a cloud toward him. It was none other than Nuwa's elder brother, Fuxi!
"Daoist Fuxi?"
Dijun was somewhat surprised.
Soon, Fuxi landed before Dijun.
"What brings the Yao Emperor to Wa Huang Palace today?"
Fuxi inquired.
Dijun did not conceal his purpose and replied:
"This Emperor came today originally to discuss some important matters with Wa Huang."
"Unfortunately, Wa Huang has gone to the Primordial Land to seek the Saint-Making Opportunity."
Fuxi smiled faintly; he naturally knew that Nuwa was traveling the Primordial Land.
After exchanging pleasantries, Dijun prepared to leave, but who would have thought that Fuxi would call him back again: "Yao Emperor!"
"Hm?"
Dijun paused mid-step, turned to look at Fuxi, and asked with a puzzled expression:
"Does Xi Huang have something else to say?"
Fuxi pursed his lips lightly, as if he had something difficult to speak of.
Seeing Fuxi's expression, Dijun spoke up:
"Daoist Brother Fuxi, if you have something to say, feel free to speak plainly!"
"We are all members of the same Demon Court; there's no need to stand on ceremony."
Upon hearing this, Fuxi let out a long sigh before finally speaking:
"Yao Emperor, I wish to borrow your River Diagram and Luo Book for a time."
At Fuxi's words, a flicker of surprise flashed through Dijun's eyes.
One must know that the River Diagram and Luo Book were Dijun's Companion Treasures, both ranked as Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
They were used to deduce the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, for astrology and divination.
Among them, the River Diagram contained the patterns of the stars and the principles of Heaven and Earth's numbers, while the Luo Book primarily governed defense.
What slightly surprised Dijun was this—
Fuxi actually wanted to borrow his Companion Treasures!
After a brief pause, Dijun narrowed his eyes slightly and probed:
"Daoist Brother Fuxi, what do you intend to deduce?"
Fuxi did not hide his intent and answered directly:
"A few days ago, I observed the movement of the All Heavenly Stars and comprehended a Formation Prototype."
"But it remains one thread short of perfection."
"I heard that the Yao Emperor's River Diagram and Luo Book encompass all things, so I wished to borrow them for study."
Hearing Fuxi's explanation, Dijun's thoughts turned swiftly.
After all, Fuxi was also the Xi Huang of the Demon Race.
Now that he had comprehended a Formation Prototype, if he lent him the River Diagram and Luo Book, perhaps he could complete his opportunity and help him perfect the formation.
Perhaps, in the future, the formation Fuxi created might prove greatly useful.
After a moment of deliberation, Dijun nodded lightly, waved his hand casually, and a scroll blazing with starlight and a mysterious jade slab appeared before him.
These were precisely his Companion Treasures, the River Diagram and Luo Book!
"Since Daoist Brother Fuxi has spoken, This Emperor naturally grants your wish."
Seeing Dijun agree, Fuxi was overjoyed.
Earlier, he had worried that Dijun might refuse—after all, these were two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and Dijun's own Companion Treasures at that.
Anyone would be reluctant to lend them out lightly.
In his delight, Fuxi solemnly accepted the River Diagram and Luo Book, his face full of gratitude:
"Thank you, Yao Emperor! This kindness, Fuxi will remember!"
Dijun smiled faintly and lightly waved his hand, signaling Fuxi not to mind.
"It's nothing. You and I are both of the Demon Race; we should help each other."
Though he said this aloud, Dijun had other thoughts in his heart.
Fuxi was already skilled in deduction; if he could win him over through this opportunity, it would greatly benefit the future of the Demon Race!
Afterward, Dijun did not linger and took his leave.
Meanwhile, at Qin Mu's secluded cultivation site.
After leaving Kunlun Mountain earlier, he had originally planned to head directly to East Sea Jin'ao Island.
But halfway there, he set up a formation and opened a Large Red Packet.
Who would have thought that after opening the packet, he would receive the reward of the Great Law of Self-Transformation into Freedom.
Coincidentally carrying a drop of Xing Tian's Quintessential Blood and the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir gifted by Taishang, Qin Mu simply began closed-door cultivation within the formation.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a vast aura surged into the sky, instantly scattering the clouds for ten thousand li in all directions!
But soon, this aura converged, becoming impossible to detect further.
Within the formation, Qin Mu slowly opened his eyes; his pupils were like sun and moon, profound beyond measure.
"Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!"
Qin Mu said excitedly.
Having consumed Taishang's Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, and using that drop of Xing Tian's Quintessential Blood to interpret the Great Law of Self-Transformation into Freedom, his cultivation had soared.
He had broken through directly from the Early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage to the Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage.
Beyond the rise in cultivation, what made Qin Mu even happier was this—
In using that drop of Xing Tian's Quintessential Blood to interpret the Great Law of Self-Transformation into Freedom, he had successfully condensed Xing Tian's Transformed Body.
With a thought, Qin Mu activated the Great Law of Self-Transformation into Freedom.
The next moment, a towering giant several zhang tall with bulging, knotted muscles appeared beside him.
This was the "Transformed Body" condensed from Xing Tian's Quintessential Blood.
It was no ordinary dharma body or clone; the figure formed was hardly different from Xing Tian's true body.
Beyond condensing Xing Tian's Transformed Body, Qin Mu had gained an even greater harvest.
His exclusive Great Dao Level Cultivation Method had advanced further, solidifying a second leaf of the Innate Green Lotus Sword Leaf within his body!
And with the solidification of the second sword leaf, Qin Mu obtained a secret technique.
That was, he could condense three Dao bodies: one of the past, one of the future, and one of the present.
These three bodies existed independently, yet could also merge. Each could cultivate on its own and also nourish the main body.
They were unlike the clones from Slaying the Three Corpses, which could not increase cultivation.
Instead, they could infinitely elevate cultivation.
Moreover, if the main body fell, it could be resurrected through the three great avatars!
