"Fellow Daoists, I didn't expect you four to arrive so early!"

"To think we'd meet again like this. What a coincidence!"

As Di Jun spoke, he seemed to signal to the people behind him.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of azure light flashed, and Fuxi and Nu Wa arrived as well.

Seeing the delight on Di Jun's face, Fuxi and Zhen Yuan Zi burst into laughter.

"Zhen Yuan Zi greets you, fellow Daoists!"

Hong Yun, Hou Tu, and Xuanming followed suit, greeting them as well.

Calling it a coincidence or fate was a bit of an exaggeration!

At the Third Sermon, unless you chose not to come,

sooner or later, wouldn't you run into one another?

Still, Hong Yun didn't dislike the way Di Jun spoke.

Regardless of what might happen in the future, he and Di Jun, the brothers, Fuxi, and Nu Wa had no conflicting interests at present.

Besides, he quite liked their personalities.

Around the Zixiao Palace, the other people waiting had also gathered in twos and threes.

Di Jun thought for a moment.

He raised a hand, and a golden light flashed. A barrier enveloped their group,

shielding them from outside gazes!

At once, Hong Yun sensed a trace of True Sun Fire.

Di Jun was a Three-legged Golden Crow, born from the Sun Star after bathing in True Sun Fire.

With every movement, he naturally carried its influence.

Di Jun smiled and said,

"Everyone arrived early this time. I wonder when the gates of the Zixiao Palace will open."

"We may have to wait here for a while."

"But that does give us a chance to gather!"

Di Jun smiled warmly, his eyes brimming with delight and friendliness.

After the Second Sermon, he had originally invited Zhen Yuan Zi, Hong Yun, and the others to discuss the Dao.

But Hong Yun had worried about getting mixed up in the establishment of the Demon Clan,

so he'd made an excuse and declined!

Di Jun had no idea what Hong Yun was thinking. He and Fuxi and the others had gathered to discuss the Dao and made a vow.

They wanted to create a path of cultivation that would let all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness cultivate according to their innate forms.

If they could invite more powerful cultivators to pool their wisdom and find a solution together,

wouldn't that make things go faster?

Besides, he now saw that Zhen Yuan Zi and the four others had all reached the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Their progress since their last meeting was remarkable.

It made Di Jun's eyes light up even more!

For now, he hadn't considered forming the Demon Clan.

But his innate nature made him instinctively forge ties with people he regarded highly and draw them closer.

In Di Jun's eyes, Zhen Yuan Zi and Hong Yun were worth befriending.

As for Hou Tu and Xuanming, though they followed a different Dao, the strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches was enough to earn Di Jun's respect!

With that in mind, Di Jun told them what they had discussed while expounding on the Dao at Bu Zhou Mountain.

"What do you fellow Daoists think? Is this feasible?"

When he finished, Di Jun stared intently at them.

Fuxi and Nu Wa listened attentively as well, eager to hear their thoughts.

After hearing him out, Zhen Yuan Zi clapped his hands and exclaimed,

"What noble aspirations, fellow Daoist!"

But he had no confidence about whether this direction would work.

"I think it's feasible. Everything in existence has its own Dao!"

"Didn't Saint Hongjun also say that the Primordial Wilderness has more than just the Immortal Dao as a path to proving Primordial Unity?"

"Still, there isn't an established path right before us!"

"I imagine it won't be easy."

When he finished, Zhen Yuan Zi looked toward Hong Yun. He didn't have any particularly constructive suggestions.

They could only count on Hong Yun!

Hong Yun gave Zhen Yuan Zi a helpless look.

Come on, don't stare at me like that!

Zhen Yuan Zi's eyes gleamed with certainty, as if convinced Hong Yun could offer a proper answer.

That made Di Jun and the others pay closer attention, too.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Hong Yun has any insights. Please, don't hesitate to enlighten us!"

Fuxi was the most eager of them all. He hurriedly cupped his hands toward Hong Yun and asked.

Now that everyone was looking at him, Hong Yun couldn't very well say nothing.

But he truly had no idea what to say.

He did know that Di Jun and Taiyi would join forces with Fuxi and Nu Wa to establish the Demon Dao and found the Demon Clan!

The Demon Dao was a path of cultivation created specifically for the Demon Clan.

The Primordial Wilderness contained three thousand Great Daos!

Hongjun taught the Immortal Dao, while the laws of heaven and earth gathered to form the Heavenly Dao.

Later, when humanity was born, there would also be a Human Dao!

When the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared and the netherworld was established, there would also be the Earthly Dao.

Even the Witch Clan's path of cultivation could be called the Witch Dao.

How could the Demon Clan possibly have no Dao of its own?

Naturally, there would also be the Demon Dao!

But in the end, the strongest Daos in heaven and earth were the Three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

The Witch and Demon Daos, meanwhile, nearly vanished into the river of history!

Other paths, such as the Immortal Dao, the Golden Core Dao, the Talisman Dao, the Sword Dao, the Formation Dao, and even the Confucian Dao later created by humanity, would all continue to flourish.

They would remain active throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

That was all because of teaching and transmission!

Should Hong Yun tell them now that they needed to contend for providence and teach the Primordial Wilderness?

Thinking of how many members of the Demon Clan would later lose their teachings and be forced to transform into Innate Dao Bodies to continue cultivating,

and how, even after achieving success in their cultivation, they still couldn't shed the title of demon immortal,

he couldn't help but feel it was a pity!

Ultimately, the reason was that no one truly powerful had taken charge of this path.

Nu Wa would become a Saint, but she would prove the Dao through the Way of Creation.

Fuxi, meanwhile, would be reborn into humanity and attain the Dao through the Primordial Eight Trigrams!

As for the true emperors of the Demon Clan, Di Jun and Taiyi, they would clash with the Witch Clan.

They would die, their souls extinguished!

From then on, the Demon Dao would decline.

Hong Yun thought of all this in an instant, and a regretful look unconsciously crossed his face.

Di Jun caught it, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

He hurriedly asked:
