Dijun and Xihe Divorce
Just as the Purple Mansion was developing rapidly, the entire Primordial Wilderness fell into silence. The Demon Race Heavenly Court was unusually quiet and did not fly into a rage over the loss of some rare and precious materials, as if nothing had happened.
However, one thing still circulated: it is said that the Golden Crow Eighth Crown Prince, was reincarnated and started cultivating again after suffering a qi deviation.
Originally, this was a very secretive matter, but it spread Primordial Wilderness throughout the world, and almost everyone knew about it, as if an invisible hand was pushing it forward.
The Sun Palace, where Di Jun cultivated, was bustling with people today; almost all the Grand Unity Quasi-Saint of the Heavenly Court were here.
"This is outrageous!"
At this Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Great Dao was in turmoil, and his domineering True Sun Fire instantly burned away the surrounding space.
Meanwhile, Di Jun, standing directly in front, remained expressionless, showing no joy whatsoever. He didn't try to persuade Taiyi, but instead stared at Bai Ze and asked:
"Does Fuxi not want to come?"
Stared at like that by Di Jun, Bai Ze felt as if he were being watched by a Desolate Ancient Fierce Beasts. He felt a chill run down his spine, and his body trembled involuntarily. He then respectfully replied:
"Your Majesty, Xi Huang said that Wa Huang's injuries have not yet healed, and he needs to protect her, so he cannot leave Phoenix Perch Mountain."
Di Jun was not disappointed upon hearing this, as if he already knew the answer in his heart, and sighed, "In the end, we are not on the same path!"
Then Di Jun faced the crowd, emanating a powerful aura that made everyone present tremble.
"The reason I have gathered you all here today is to discuss the great principles of our Heavenly Court. The Witch Clan is now relying on the Dutian Great Formation to suppress us, and our Heavenly Court is even in danger of destruction."
At this point, Di Jun looked around, and an invisible sadness emanated from him; everyone could feel the desolation emanating from Di Jun's Great Dao.
"The news you heard is correct. Xiao Ba is dead. I killed him with my own hands. This is also why the Witch Clan was willing to withdraw their troops in the past."
"What?"
"His Majesty..."
"This..."
Upon hearing this, almost everyone looked incredulous, staring at Di Jun in shock. They opened their mouths as if to say something, but no words came out!
Only Nine Infant stepped forward, looking at Di Jun with disappointment and saying with pity, "Your Majesty, are we cowards? We would rather perish together with the Witch Clan. Why must we go to such lengths?"
Di Jun was not angry at these words, but calmly looked at Nine Infant.
This was his old subordinate, the first person to follow him besides Bai Ze, and the second among the Ten Great Demon Sages to truly break through to the Quasi-Saint.
"Nine Infant, do you remember how we met? How long have you been following me?"
Nine Infant was puzzled, but still answered earnestly, "Your Majesty, I am a member of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, but I was born with nine heads and a powerful bloodline, different from ordinary clansmen, and can be considered Primordial Wilderness beast."
"But precisely because of this, the Celestial Serpent Ancestor wanted to seize my divine body to refine an external avatar. Fortunately, I was saved by Your Majesty, the Eastern Emperor, and Bai Ze. In the end, the four of us joined forces to kill the Celestial Serpent Ancestor. I swear that from now on, my life belongs to Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Di Jun suddenly laughed and sighed, "Yes, I remember when I was unwilling to submit to the Ziwei Great Emperor, so I left for the Sun Star with Taiyi. First, I met Bai Ze, and later I met you."
"Back then, we were so weak. A mere quasi -Quasi-Saint in terms of magical power forced the four of us to fight to the death. But back then, we feared neither heaven nor earth."
At this point, Di Jun's voice suddenly became heavy, and he said sternly, "But things are different now. We have established the Demon Race, we have the Heavenly Court, and you have all become Quasi-Saint, and I also have Dao Companion and offspring."
"Brothers, it's not that I, Di Jun, am afraid of death or want to use my offspring to save myself, but it's simply not worth it."
"Now, almost everyone in the Primordial Wilderness is watching our Heavenly Court. Even during our great battle, people come to the Heavenly Court to plunder rare and precious materials, Heavenly Court about as if they own nothing."
"There are still some forces eyeing us covetously, waiting for us and the Witch Clan to weaken each other so they can take advantage of the situation and divide up our Heavenly Court."
"I, Di Jun, am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of dying a pathetic death. Even if I die, I will die on the path of enlightenment, on the path of charging forward!"
At this moment, Di Jun's eyes were bloodshot, making him look like Fierce Beasts would devour people.
"I'm sorry to Xi He, I'm sorry to Chang Xi, I'm sorry to Xiaoba, but I, Di Jun, have done right by each and every one of you."
"The last battle was a disgrace to me Di Jun, a disgrace to you all, and a disgrace to the Heavenly Court."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Heavenly Court felt deeply ashamed. Di Jun's actions were indeed worthy of each and every one of them; the only ones he had wronged were Xi He and Chang Xi.
As for the Golden Crow Eighth Crown Prince, everyone chose to ignore him. In fact, it could be said that if he weren't Di Jun's son, some members of the demon race would probably want to kill him!
Don't assume that the demon race doesn't worship Pangu. Although they are not as devout as the Witch Clan, they absolutely respect Pangu from the bottom of their hearts.
Pangu is the embodiment of the tangible Dao and the creator of the Primordial World. To respect Pangu is to revere the Dao.
Therefore, as long as there are people in the Primordial Wilderness, there is no one who does not respect Pangu, except for that landlord's foolish son, the Golden Crow Eighth Crown Prince.
Nine Infant said with shame, "It was my senility that led me astray. Please accept my condolences, Your Majesty!"
Di Jun waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I know Xiao Ba has committed grave sins. It's my fault for not guiding him properly, which has led to this disaster."
"But he is my son, Di Jun, and I will never let him die in vain. As long as the Witch Clan is destroyed, I will not allow him to be reincarnated. I will use Dijiang's blood to Jieyin Xiao Ba back!"
The crowd shouted in unison, "We are willing to assist Your Majesty and vow to annihilate the Witch Clan!"
The emotions of the people in the Heavenly Court were once again stirred up by Di Jun, and all their dissatisfaction was directed at the Witch Clan, turning into deep hatred.
While Kunpeng, positioned to Di Jun's right, was shouting, his eyes remained calm, clearly indicating that Di Jun's words had not pleased him.
Finally, someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Witch Clan has the help of the Dutian Great Formation, we are simply no match for them. What can we do?"
Di Jun glanced at Kunpeng, and that glance sent a chill through Kunpeng as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Demon Master says makes sense. We are indeed no match for the Witch Clan right now, but it's not like we have no way out," Di Jun said meaningfully.
The oppressive feeling vanished instantly. Kunpeng felt alive again, and any lingering resentment in his heart disappeared without a trace. He thought to himself, "Is this Late Stage Quasi-Saint is like? Truly terrifying!"
"Through our research over the past few years, Eastern Emperor and I have finally found a way to deal with the Dutian Great Formation: to counter it with another formation."
Bai Ze asked in confusion, "A battle formation? What kind of formation is it?"
Di Jun hummed in agreement and continued, "I name this formation the Star Dou Great Formation. It can be used to condense the source of stars, draw upon the Power of Stars, and then utilize the River Diagram and Luo Book..."
Di Jun slowly explained the Star Dou Great Formation that he had comprehended, and everyone was overjoyed upon hearing it. Even Kunpeng laughed out loud.
Ci Tie laughed loudly, "Haha, truly Heaven has not forsaken our demon race! Your Majesty was able to comprehend such a formation at such a critical moment; it is fitting that we rule the Primordial Wilderness!"
"Your Majesty is truly a man of great talent!"
"My demon race will surely rule the Primordial Wilderness!"
Everyone in the hall praised Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
However, Di Jun did not revel in joy. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "The Heavenly Court will be sealed off from now on. You are allowed to enter but not leave. I will then impart to you the mysteries of the Star Dou Great Formation!"
"Taiyi, your task is to select 365 main star gods, a weighty responsibility indeed. I will also have Bai Ze assist you!"
Taiyi's eyes shone brightly, and he said solemnly, "Don't worry, brother, I can't wait to annihilate the Witch Clan. I, Taiyi, have never suffered such a great loss since I was born."
Di Jun stepped forward, patted Taiyi on the shoulder, and said, "I understand how you feel, but our next target is not the Witch Clan, but the Eastern East King Gong of the Purple Mansion!"
Hearing this, everyone was puzzled, except for Ci Tie, who showed an excited expression.
Di Jun explained again, "Even with the Star Dou Great Formation, our strength is not much different from that of the Witch Clan. Therefore, if we want to increase our strength again, only the Luck Power can meet the requirements in a short period of time."
"East King Gong is the Head of Male Immortals, the Eastern Wood Duke, and the Purple Mansion is also a top-tier Immortal Dao power, where a large amount of Primordial Wilderness Luck Power is gathered. Therefore, as long as we destroy the Purple Mansion, we can widen the gap with the Witch Clan in a short period of time."
"Finally, we will launch an attack on the Witch Clan, unify the Primordial Wilderness, and establish the great power of our Heavenly Court!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze stepped forward and said, "I support Your Majesty's decision!"
Ci Tie also quickly stepped forward and said, "I also support Your Majesty's decision!"
"I support..."
After the Heavenly Court meeting ended, Di Jun strolled to Xi He's residence, but instead of going in, he lingered outside the hall, hesitant and undecided.
At one point, Di Jun made up his mind and was about to go in when he was stopped by a maid at the door.
The maid, with a desperate expression, whispered, "Your Majesty, the Empress does not wish to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun was about to get angry, but seeing such a lowly maid at the True Immortal Realm, he felt it was unnecessary. He then helplessly waved his hand, signaling her to leave.
Then she walked in without a second thought. The maid didn't say anything more, after all, she had already mustered all her courage to say those words.
When Di Jun entered the hall, he found Xi He sitting cross-legged on the Cloud Bed, meditating with her eyes closed.
"Xi He, I..."
Before Di Jun could finish speaking, Xi He opened her eyes, emanating an aura.
"Who let you in? Get out!"
"Guards, beat the maidservant outside the palace to death with a stick!"
Di Jun, shameless as ever, slowly stepped forward to meet Xi He's imposing aura, but the closer he got, the stronger Xi He's aura became.
Di Jun did not offer any resistance, allowing his powerful aura to pass through the divine body until it reached Xi He.
At this moment, golden blood was already flowing from the corner of Di Jun's mouth.
"Chang Xi is gone, Xiao Ba is gone, and my heart is bleeding too, but as the Heavenly Emperor, I have no other choice."
"Xi He, you're all I have left!"
Hearing this, Xi He was also moved, and she was no longer as heartless as before; her face was full of sorrow.
"Don't say anymore. I understand you. You are a qualified Heavenly Emperor, but the former Xi He is dead. From now on, you are the Heavenly Emperor, and I am merely the Empress. There is no other!"
Xi He's words were cold, carrying a nameless sorrow and resolute determination.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun smiled helplessly, a smile that no one could understand, for it contained too many meanings.
He then strolled out of the main hall without saying anything more.
Xi He has made it very clear that the two of them are no longer related, meaning they are no longer Dao Companion.
Because the Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of Heaven and Earth, and the Empress is also the ruler of Heaven and Earth, the two manage Yin-Yang respectively, just like collaborators.
Di Jun slowly walked out of the main hall, his heart undisturbed. He looked up at the Starry Sky and said, "Perhaps this is the greatest punishment for me!"
A brief conversation contained a great deal of information, and the relationship between the two changed.
Perhaps this is a matter of give and take.
It's a pity about that maid; she lost her life because of it!
