Donghua Immortal Palace.
Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu faced the two from the west, their eyes full of confusion.
"Fellow Daoists Jieyin and Zhunti, you're not here at Donghua Immortal Palace because you want to join, are you?" Donghua Daoist asked, raising an eyebrow as he took a small sip of spiritual tea.
"We have one purpose for coming. Some time ago, you two must have also seen the purple energy spanning thirty thousand miles across the Demon Court, and the heavenly bestowed merit. My brother and I have deduced it to no avail, so we wanted to ask if Daoist Donghua knows anything about the situation."
Jieyin Daoist said with a smile.
Hearing this, Donghua Daoist's heart stirred.
So it wasn't just me who couldn't figure it out; these two fellows were the same.
For a moment, he didn't feel so embarrassed anymore and said directly, "Actually, this Immortal Head also didn't deduce the result, but the result will be out soon."
"Oh?" Zhunti Daoist responded.
A moment later, Nine Heavens Profound Lady arrived at Donghua Immortal Palace in a hurry and whispered something in Xi Wang Mu's ear.
Xi Wang Mu's expression brightened, and she stood up, cupping her hands. "Everyone, please excuse me, I have something to attend to."
"Tu Shan Qing is back?" Dong Wang Gong transmitted.
"Indeed, he brought back news. I'll go ask first and be back shortly," Xi Wang Mu replied.
A moment later, Xi Wang Mu arrived in a side hall and saw Tu Shan Qing. She immediately asked, "Tu Shan Qing, what news have you brought back?"
"Immortal Head! This is a disaster."
"The Demon Court has newly appointed three Demon Emperors: Nuwa, Fu Xi, and Li Mo."
Tu Shan Qing said rapidly.
"Li Mo?" Xi Wang Mu's crescent eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Nuwa and Fu Xi joining the Demon Court wasn't too surprising.
After all, during the treasure hunt at Buzhou Mountain, they had helped Di Jun and the others. It was within expectations that they would become Demon Emperors now.
But who was this third Demon Emperor, Li Mo? How did she not know?
"Who is Li Mo? A Primordial God? And where did that celestial phenomenon come from?" Xi Wang Mu asked.
"Immortal Head, these celestial phenomena, the purple energy spanning thirty thousand miles, and the heavenly bestowed merit, were all because of Li Mo."
"During the appointment of the Demon Emperors, every word Li Mo spoke was a golden saying."
"It caused the Heavenly Dao to tremble, and celestial flowers rained down. Those celestial phenomena were all because of this matter."
"Not only that, his cultivation advanced from the mid-Mystic Immortal stage to Grand Unity, directly approaching Quasi-Saint."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xi Wang Mu felt a buzzing in her head.
How could this be?
That kind of celestial phenomenon was actually triggered by a mere mid-Mystic Immortal?
What right did he have?
And his cultivation advanced from mid-Mystic Immortal to Grand Unity?
How was this possible?
For others to cultivate from mid-Mystic Immortal to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, approaching Quasi-Saint, how many of them didn't require billions of years of cultivation?
Yet Li Mo, after saying a few words during the appointment of the Demon Emperors, achieved such a remarkable result?
This was too incredible.
Xi Wang Mu pondered for a moment and quickly asked, "Is what you're saying true? Where did you hear it?"
"Bai Jiu, the clan leader of the Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox Clan, and Bai Ze of the Demon Court. One is Li Mo's father-in-law, and the other is Li Mo's master. If the words came from their mouths, they are definitely not wrong."
"Moreover, they said that many members of the Demon Race witnessed it at the Demon Court that day."
"Li Mo personally issued an order that anyone who knew about this matter was to be silenced and not allowed to speak of it, treating it as the Demon Race's trump card."
Tu Shan Qing replied with a solemn expression.
"Alright, I understand this matter. You may go down now." Xi Wang Mu waved her hand. After Tu Shan Qing left, she immediately went to see Dong Wang Gong.
When she informed Dong Wang Gong of this matter, Dong Wang Gong's eyes nearly bulged out.
This news was simply too explosive.
Three newly appointed Demon Emperors.
One of them, a mid-Mystic Immortal, triggered such celestial phenomena and reached Quasi-Saint, which was truly terrifying.
Seeing Dong Wang Gong's wonderfully expressive face, Jieyin Daoist couldn't help but ask, "Daoist Donghua, why do you have such an expression? What has happened?"
Dong Wang Gong's hand trembled, splashing some tea. He gasped, realizing that these events were not good news for their Donghua Immortal Palace.
"To be honest with you two, the reason for the Demon Court's celestial phenomena has been discovered," he said.
"What? So quickly? Daoist Donghua's informants seem to have infiltrated the Demon Court's interior!" Zhunti Daoist praised.
"Daoist, would you be willing to tell us what this phenomenon was all about?" Jieyin pressed.
"The phenomena are all because of the Demon Race's fifth Demon Emperor, Li Mo."
"According to reliable information we've received, when he spoke that day, every word was profound truth, causing the heavens and earth to shake."
"That's why there were thirty thousand miles of purple qi, ten thousand brocade lanterns, and heavenly merit descending."
"Not only that, but Li Mo himself went straight from the mid-stage Mystic Immortal realm to the Quasi-Saint realm!"
"Alas! This is not good news for us at Donghua Immortal Palace."
Donghua Daoist frowned deeply, his face etched with worry, and said.
"What? The Quasi-Saint realm? Such celestial phenomena were actually triggered by a mere Mystic Immortal? Are you kidding me?" Zhunti Daoist didn't believe it at all, shaking his head repeatedly.
Jieyin Daoist also curled his lips. Why didn't you say the other party achieved sainthood on the spot and is already on par with Dao Ancestor Hong Jun?
However, he didn't say it aloud. Instead, he shook his head and said, "This is absolutely impossible. I suddenly recall that when we were listening to the Dao, Li Mo also followed the Di Jun and Tai Yi brothers to Zixiao Palace."
"In front of everyone, Di Jun bestowed a Spiritual Treasure upon him. At that time, he was indeed just a True Immortal, and only later did he break through to Mystic Immortal."
Speaking of this, Donghua Daoist and the others also recalled the appearance of this unknown nobody.
That Spiritual Treasure back then was a gift from Tongtian Daoist.
"My two fellow Daoists, this matter is absolutely credible."
"If it is true, why would the top powers of the Great Desolation like Di Jun want to establish Li Mo as the Demon Emperor?"
"Think carefully, if Di Jun and Tai Yi aren't sharp, are Fu Xi and Nuwa also not sharp?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Moreover, the one who revealed this matter is Li Mo's father-in-law, Bai Jiu, and his master, Bai Ze!"
Xi Wang Mu said with a solemn expression. After a period of careful consideration, she came to this conclusion.
"This..." At these words, even Jieyin and Zhunti, who were standing nearby, didn't know how to respond.
After all, they couldn't figure out any results from the perspective of Di Jun and Tai Yi.
"It seems this matter is indeed true. However, whether the cultivation realm is true is still worth questioning. After all, the Dao Ancestor has not spoken of the path to becoming a Saint, how could he have become a Quasi-Saint?" Jieyin Daoist narrowed his eyes and said.
"My elder brother speaks wisely," Zhunti Daoist said.
Afterward, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and immediately got up.
"My two fellow Daoists, my brother and I will take our leave. The time for lecturing the Dao is approaching, and you two are also busy with your affairs. We shall not disturb you further. Farewell!"
With that, the two left Donghua Immortal Palace.
As soon as they left the vicinity of Donghua Immortal Palace, Jieyin said excitedly, "Opportunity, it is indeed a great opportunity! Li Mo is fated to be with us in the West!"
"Elder brother, I feel the same way. After this event, Li Mo will definitely go to Purple Heaven Palace again. At that time, my brother and I will pull him into the West, and the strength of our Mount Sumeru can be greatly increased."
Zhunti spoke as if he had already seen Li Mo become one of them.
