Establishing Immortal Islands and Palaces, Contending for the Primordial World's Great Fortune
"Mystic Turtle fellow daoist, please speak! Six-Eared will certainly tell you everything and express my best thoughts!"
Six-Eared Macaque already saw Beichen as a great benefactor, and he would never hold back when speaking.
"Beichen wants to ask fellow daoist Six-Eared, will Dao Ancestor Hongjun's forces participate in the Witch-Demon calamity?"
After this question was asked, Six-Eared Macaque pondered for a long time before shaking his head, "Dao Ancestor Hongjun's forces, apart from fellow daoist Nuwa, will probably not actively participate in the Witch-Demon calamity!"
"However, if fellow daoist wants his disciples to fall into this calamity, it's not impossible to use a little trickery, stir up trouble, and forcibly pull them in."
"For example, among the Sanqing, Primordial Lord of Heaven always has great opinions about the Demon Race. And those inner disciples Jieyin and Zhunti have some secret and wonderful karmic connections with the Primordial World's demon and beast races."
"It won't be difficult to pull them into the water with the help of some events. However, regarding how to do it, Six-Eared doesn't have the ability to say. I'm afraid only Mystic Turtle fellow daoist himself has that capability!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Beichen hadn't even thought of this himself!
Finding a way to pull Hongjun's disciples into the water was a rather insidious idea.
He hadn't expected Six-Eared Macaque to come up with such a method immediately!
"Heh heh, this poor daoist might be corrupted by this monkey!"
Beichen chuckled inwardly.
Just then, Six-Eared Macaque's brows furrowed slightly, "Mystic Turtle fellow daoist, Six-Eared has also deduced some things. Dao Ancestor Hongjun might create some puppet-like forces to disrupt the Primordial World, in order to compete for resources for himself!"
"After all, the Primordial World is full of countless magical treasures and vast resources. During the Witch-Demon war, many powerful magical treasures will emerge. Although Dao Ancestor Hongjun already controls many magical treasures, who would have a grudge against magical treasures?"
"Oh, please elaborate, fellow daoist Six-Eared. Who will that person be?"
Six-Eared Macaque shook his head, "I'm not too sure, but it must be a guest of the Purple Heaven Palace, and someone who has reached the peak of Grand Unity by relying on Hongjun's Dao! I only deduced that this existence resides at the two extremes, east and west!"
"The two extremes, east and west?" Beichen's eyes widened, "In that case, that should be two people!"
As they discussed, the Mystic Turtle shell had already deduced, "East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West!"
During Dao Ancestor Hongjun's first sermon, nearly thirty Dao cultivators in the Purple Heaven Palace had reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal perfection or above. The more dazzling ones were Beichen, Zhen Yuanzi, and then Dao Ancestor Hongjun's seven disciples.
After that, there were those seated in the second row, but who appeared somewhat low-key: East King Duke, Queen Mother of the West, Old Ancestor Minghe, and the attendant Haotian, among others.
Furthermore, among those relatively low-key immortal cultivators back then, the stir caused by reaching Grand Unity perfection was more significant for East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West.
When those two reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal perfection, it drew more than a few glances from Hongjun and a crowd of cultivators.
The aura of East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West was even stronger than that of Dijun, Taiyi, Xihe, and Changxi!
Just as Beichen's astonished voice fell, from the Purple Firmament Palace, shrouded by the vast Heavenly Dao, a void-like Dao sound spread throughout the entire Primordial World.
"After a thousand years of preaching, the Dao Ancestor bestows the Dharma! I decree East King Duke of the Eastern Extremes as the head of male immortals, to lead the male immortals and establish the Immortal Court, strengthening our Dao's influence. I also decree Queen Mother of the West as the head of female immortals in the world, to manage the female immortals and await orders!"
"Mystic Turtle fellow daoist's Dao is profound, actually foreseeing the specific immortal cultivators!"
This Dao sound clearly reached the Three Immortal Islands, drawing much praise from Six-Eared.
"Heh heh, it's just that fellow daoist Six-Eared didn't enter the Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the sermon, so you don't know the situation back then. If Dao Ancestor Hongjun wants to choose his consorts, these two would be the first to be considered!"
In the Eastern Extremes, East King Duke was overjoyed. He immediately accepted Dao Ancestor Hongjun's decree, and by himself, considered himself important, beginning to gather the immortals and establish the Immortal Court.
In this part of the Primordial World, there were not a few immortal cultivators with cultivation levels similar to East King Duke. Many immortal cultivators did not obey his command, delaying and refusing to join the Immortal Court, clearly adopting an attitude of "I don't want to be managed by you."
Of course, there were also some cultivators who quickly contacted East King Duke, trying to gain favor with Dao Ancestor Hongjun through him.
Among them was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's attendant, Haotian. Although Haotian was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's attendant, he was not highly valued. Now, he was also eager to respond, wanting to show his loyalty to Hongjun.
However, what he didn't know was that Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't care about this.
Queen Mother of the West accepted the decree without much joy. Instead, she began to ponder why Dao Ancestor Hongjun wanted to create heads for male and female immortals, and what the purpose of doing so was.
She was not in a hurry to act, but gradually sought out Nuwa, Moon Star Goddess, Houtu, and others to chat and hear their thoughts.
Within the Three Immortal Islands, Beichen smiled and muttered to himself, "If I remember correctly, in the future, there will be several major battles between this East King Duke and my two disciples, which will make them quite weary. I'll find time later to meet East King Duke and see what kind of person he is!"
"Mystic Turtle fellow daoist, what are you thinking about?" Six-Eared Macaque said anxiously, "The suggestion Six-Eared made is an extremely important matter concerning our future. I hope fellow daoist will consider it carefully!"
"Oh, there's no need to consider this matter! Starting today, we will establish an Immortal Palace and contend for the destiny of this Primordial World, in order to rival Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the future!"
Beichen readily agreed to Six-Eared's proposal.
He wasn't necessarily trying to conquer the world; he just felt that hiding away and living a leisurely life on the Three Immortal Islands would not be conducive to his cultivation.
Now was the time when the destiny of the Primordial World was scattering. He should come out to "compete for fame and fortune." Pressure would bring motivation, which would definitely allow him to improve his cultivation faster, and perhaps also provide opportunities to obtain powerful innate magical treasures!
Besides, Beichen had no intention of getting personally involved. He wanted to be a behind-the-scenes magnate, navigating this Primordial World.
"Fellow daoist Six-Eared is meticulous and knowledgeable about the rules. The matter of establishing the Immortal Palace will be entirely your responsibility. For the heavenly spiritual materials needed, you can find Mo Yuan, Yan Lie, and Ling Cair. In the past few thousand years, they have accumulated quite a bit of innate material, all of pure and high quality!"
"Since Mystic Turtle fellow daoist has entrusted me with this important task, Six-Eared will not refuse. Six-Eared will certainly not fail this trust!"
Six-Eared Macaque was grateful and had good character. From their previous conversation, Beichen also knew of his talent. Establishing the palace could be considered an underutilization of his abilities.
Beichen was absolutely confident in his ability to handle this matter!
Immediately, Six-Eared Macaque called the three guardians of the Three Immortal Islands. With Beichen's consent, they established the Immortal Palace on Yingzhou Island, the farthest from Penglai Immortal Island. This would allow Beichen to stay in his cave dwelling on Penglai Immortal Island and control everything without being disturbed by the noisy cultivators if he wished.
The more thoughtful Six-Eared was, the more at ease Beichen became.
Just as Beichen finished contemplating the construction of the palace, a familiar voice suddenly called out, "Fellow Mystic Turtle, Kunpeng has come to pay his respects!"
Kunpeng was seen rushing from Beiming, landing on the island, "Fellow Mystic Turtle, how have you been lately?"
Beichen glanced at Kunpeng, noting that he had only just entered the late stage of Grand Unity, which was a bit too weak.
Earlier, Liu'er had said he could be the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons, not based on his cultivation, but on his origins.
Although Kunpeng was not strong enough now, in terms of origins, he was one of the rare powerful beings in the Primordial Era.
"Old Ancestor Kunpeng, why have you only come now? Beichen has been waiting for you for a thousand years!"
Beichen let out a wry smile.
"Fellow Mystic Turtle, please forgive my tardiness. It's because something major happened in my Beiming, which caused me to be late. Let Kunpeng explain slowly!"
