Zhunti Visits the Purple Mansion; Di Jun at Buzhou Mountain
Donghua was truly wary of the power of the Chaos Bell. In his battle with Taiyi, the original body would not have perished if it weren't for the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure.
Tongtian pondered for a moment, and after a long while, shook his head at Donghua and said:
"Other Innate Spiritual Treasure, and even top-tier spiritual treasures, have ways to counter them, but Innate Supreme Treasure are uniquely unsolvable; otherwise, they wouldn't be called supreme treasures."
"Just like my Immortal Slaying Four Swords, they can be said to be the most top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure in the world, but they are not invincible."
"As for my eldest and second elder brothers' Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner, they are truly unsolvable; the only solution is to break them by force."
In fact, Donghua already knew the answer in his heart, but he still asked it out, because compared to Di Jun, he was most wary of Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
No matter how powerful Di Jun is, he can still deal with someone who is also at the Late Stage Quasi-Saint. However, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who wields Innate Supreme Treasure, is the only one who is truly troublesome.
At this point, everyone in the hall fell silent. Tongtian also kept quiet, as he clearly understood the current situation of the Purple Mansion, knowing that it would eventually clash with the Witch and Demon Races.
Seeing everyone's silence, Donghua didn't press further. He smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, let's not talk about it anymore, it'll ruin our mood. Come on, let's play a game of chess."
Donghua and Purple Mansion had already planned how to deal with the Demon Race Heavenly Court. Asking today was simply to add some extra insurance.
After all, the upcoming battle cannot tolerate the slightest failure; it must be foolproof, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain.
If he fails, although he is confident that he will not die, the Purple Mansion will surely perish. As for how many people will survive, it is estimated that very few will survive. This is the price of defeat.
After all, the Demon Race Heavenly Court they were about to face might not be the most powerful Heavenly Court, but it was the strongest.
At its peak, the Heavenly Court dominated the primordial Primordial Wilderness, and the five great Demon Emperor were unparalleled among their peers. Although the five great Demon Emperor are no longer there, Di Jun and Taiyi have become even stronger.
This is the terrifying aspect of Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao: as long as one's fortune is strong enough, one can improve their cultivation level in a short period of time.
Just as the group was chatting and playing chess, a terrifying aura rose from Yuanqiao Island, or rather, from the Wa Huang Realm. Daoist principles flowed between heaven and earth, immortal light filled the East Sea, and all things came into being.
"Is Junior Sister Nuwa also in the Purple Mansion?"
Upon seeing this aura, Tongtian looked at Donghua with a puzzled expression, seemingly quite surprised.
Donghua didn't think it was a big deal and frankly explained the whole story.
"Alas, there are six of us, fellow disciples, but unexpectedly, it was Junior Sister Nuwa who stepped forward first."
Tongtian could sense the terrifying power of this aura; it was in no way inferior to his elder brother's, and perhaps even stronger, far Gao Ming him.
Just as Donghua was about to say something, he sensed another aura and his tone changed as he said, "This time, my Purple Mansion is truly honored, as another fellow Daoist has arrived."
With a flick of his finger, the Purple Mansion Array opened a passage, and a figure landed on the Azure Sea.
It was none other than the Zhunti Daojun came from the Western Region.
Zhunti and Nuwa collided in the Azure Sea!
"Zhunti greets Senior Sister Nuwa. It's been a long time! How have you been, Senior Sister?"
Nuwa asked in confusion, "Junior Brother, instead of enjoying blessings in the Western Region, how come you have the leisure to travel to the East and even visit the Purple Mansion in the East Sea?"
"We are all from the Primordial Wilderness, so why distinguish between east and west? I have come to visit Fellow Daoist Donghua." Zhunti smiled.
The two didn't chat for long before entering Jingyang Palace!
As soon as Zhunti entered Jingyang Palace, he was stunned into silence. Inside the main hall sat six figures: Donghua, Tongtian, West Queen Mother, Fuxi, Longbo, Candle Dragon. Daoist energy flowed around them, and a series of Dao Chess pieces revealed the truth of the Great Dao.
He truly hadn't expected there to be so many people at the Jingyang Palace. After all, once he arrived at the Purple Mansion, he hadn't bothered to investigate further, which was extremely impolite.
Nuwa didn't think much of it and sat down directly next to the West Queen Mother.
"Since Zhunti has arrived, why have you stopped? Are you blaming me for not coming out to greet you?" Donghua gave Zhunti a way out.
After hearing Zhunti, Zhunti chuckled softly, stepped inside, and after taking his seat, said, "How dare I! Our Western Region are poor and sparsely populated. Today, I have suddenly encountered so many Great Powers. I am momentarily stunned and have little experience to show for it."
After he finished speaking, he greeted each of the people present.
"It is truly an honor for Donghua to have fellow Daoists grace our Purple Mansion with their presence today."
Donghua hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I wonder what brings Zhunti Daoist Zhunti here?"
"Nothing of great importance. I simply have some free time today and have come to express my gratitude for your past assistance to the Western Region Dao. I've come to pay you a visit."
Zhunti shrugged, without explaining his purpose, because the occasion was inappropriate; with Tongtian, Nuwa, and others present, how could he reveal his true intentions?
Although Donghua knew that Zhunti's intentions were not so simple, he did not ask any further questions.
"Junior Sister emerged from seclusion today, her radiant light soaring into the sky, her aura overwhelming the East Sea. Has her cultivation made a breakthrough?"
Tongtian turned to Nuwa and asked her a question. He was very curious about this, since Nuwa was already at the Late Stage Quasi-Saint. If she were to break through again, she would be at the Peak Quasi-Saint.
Nuwa smiled and said, "No, that's not true. I've only gained some understanding of the Great Dao, but breaking through in cultivation is extremely difficult."
The group began chatting and playing chess, discussing matters of the Primordial Wilderness, and some profound truths were revealed.
The majestic Buzhou Mountain, reaching to the heavens above and connecting to the earth's veins below, stands tall in the heart of the Primordial Wilderness.
The Pangu Hall, also known as the Ancestral Witch Hall, has an uninvited guest today.
"Di Jun, what brings you here today? Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Dijiang's face was gloomy as he stared at the benevolent corpse of Di Jun opposite him and asked in a deep voice. He also had murderous intent in his heart. Although the Dao Ancestor had said so beforehand, a mere benevolent corpse was nothing to worry about.
Ignoring the question from the other side, Di Jun slowly said, "Dijiang, a life-or-death battle between us is inevitable sooner or later, but not today."
"I won't waste any more words with you. My Heavenly Court is about to launch an attack on the Purple Mansion and destroy Donghua. Is your Witch Clan willing to share in the spoils?"
Upon hearing this, the Twelve Ancestor Witches fell into deep thought and discussed among themselves.
Houtu glanced at Di Jun and scoffed, "What business is it of ours if your demon race wants to attack the Purple Mansion? If you think you can do it, then go ahead. As the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by our teacher, Donghua, our Witch Clan will not send troops."
Di Jun sneered and said disdainfully, "What's so special about the Head of Male Immortals! You dare to hunt down Jieyin and Zhunti, so why should you care about the Purple Mansion and Donghua?"
"Dijiang, what exactly are you thinking? Be concise and give me an answer."
After some contemplation, Dijiang asked the question that had been bothering him, "Di Jun, why did your Heavenly Court drag us into attacking the Purple Mansion? Even if you win, you'll still have to divide the resources equally. Besides, the Purple Mansion is just a small place; you can't possibly take it down?"
Di Jun laughed heartily and mocked Dijiang, "As expected of a brainless fool. You don't actually think the Purple Mansion is that simple, do you? Its strength is no less than ours."
After mocking them, he stopped provoking the Ancestor Witch and sincerely said:
"If we join forces to destroy the Purple Mansion, as for fortune and resources, we'll each rely on our own abilities, how about it?"
Dijiang's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, filled with murderous intent, and a Sha Qi surged into the sky.
However, he didn't make a move for a long time, but simply said, "You can leave now. If you dare to come Mount Buzhou, I won't listen to the words of the Dao Ancestor, and I will make sure you don't leave alive."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun chuckled, and the Golden Crow Cry, transforming into a beam of golden light and disappearing from Mount Buzhou.
Above the Sky Vault, Taiyi stood holding the Chaos Bell Di Jun's true form, waiting for the return of the benevolent corpse.
"Brother, how is it?"
Di Jun smiled and said, "This matter is settled. The Witch Clan will definitely not let us monopolize the Purple Mansion Destiny and Fortune; they will inevitably get involved and want a share."
"Brother, I still can't understand why you wanted to involve the Witch Clan?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi could destroy the Purple Mansion Heavenly Court, so why share some of its fortune with the Witch Clan?
"The destruction of the Purple Mansion is not so simple. We could see from the last Spirit Mountain that many Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness are very tolerant of these Dao Ancestor disciples. If it were just us taking action, Donghua might be able to escape."
"This is a huge hidden danger. So if we're going to destroy the Purple Mansion, we have to do it cleanly. Donghua and West Queen Mother must not survive. Otherwise, even if we obtain the Purple Mansion Destiny and Fortune, it might push them towards the Witch Clan, which would be a greater loss than gain."
Taiyi asked, puzzled, "Does Brother mean that someone might come to the aid of the Purple Mansion?"
"It's not about helping the Purple Mansion, it's about saving Donghua!"
"No one will get involved in the battle between the Purple Mansion and the Heavenly Court, because whether the Purple Mansion is destroyed or not is not important to them, but Donghua and the others will definitely save it!"
Di Jun's expression turned grim as he spoke. Since acquiring the Star Dou Great Formation, he had full confidence in destroying the Purple Mansion, but he was still unsure whether he could kill Donghua. This was the main reason he came to the Witch Clan.
"But why must you choose to involve the Witch Clan, brother? There are so many Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness, including our friends. Why not let them intervene?"
Di Jun smiled and slowly said, "Don't worry about the Witch Clan getting a share of the fortune. They're far from it. They're destined to end up with nothing."
"I chose the Witch Clan because I was worried that the Dao Ancestor would intervene to save Donghua."
"But if the Heavenly Court and the Earthly Court act simultaneously, even the Dao Ancestor cannot intervene to save them, because the alliance between the Witch and the Demon is the will of Heaven. The Dao Ancestor has merged with the Dao, so how can he defy the will of Heaven?"
Upon hearing this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi understood everything.
"Brother's intentions are truly admirable, Taiyi admires them!"
Di Jun gave a helpless bitter smile, "There's no good intention behind it, it's just a last resort. The Heavenly Court needs a victory to wash away all the gloom, we need a victory."
"Brother, rest assured, in the upcoming battle, the might of our Heavenly Court will surely sweep across the Primordial Wilderness once again."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi nodded heavily, and the Chaos Bell in his hand hummed softly, as if it were cheering and jumping for joy.
After Di Jun left, the Twelve Ancestor Witches began to discuss the matter again.
Zhu Rong asked, puzzled, "Brother, what are you thinking? Should we make a move or not?"
Dijiang looked at the Ancestor Witch and slowly said, "This time, our Witch Clan must take action, not only for the Purple Mansion Destiny and Fortune, but also for the future of our Witch Court."
"Now, the Primordial Wilderness chaos is raging, and the great calamity has precisely befallen the Lich King and the Demon Clan, which means that we are bound to have a life-or-death battle with the Demon Clan."
"Therefore, as this life-or-death battle approaches, we must sweep away all unstable factors and avoid repeating the same mistakes, after all, the lessons of the Three Clans are right before our eyes."
"And among the many forces, the Purple Mansion bears the brunt!"
Zhu Jiuyin agreed, saying, "Elder brother is right. If the Purple Mansion intervenes while we are fighting the demon race, it will be a crisis of annihilation for us."
"Yes, I also support you, elder brother. If we let those demon brats monopolize the Purple Mansion Destiny and Fortune, it's aiding the enemy. I, Zhu Rong, will not allow it and must take action to seize the Purple Mansion Destiny and Fortune."
"I support it too..."
After Dijiang finished speaking, he received support from almost everyone.
Only the three Ancestor Witch, Houtu, Gong Gong, and Xuan Ming, remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Dijiang inquired, "Little sister, Gong Gong, Xuan Ming, do you have any different opinions?"
Before anyone could answer, Zhu Rong mocked, "I think Gong Gong is just scared. He's never enthusiastic in any battle and is always the most incompetent. In the last battle at Spirit Mountain, if it weren't for him, we would have won long ago. Why did we end up with nothing?"
Gong Gong exuded an overwhelming aura that swept through the Pangu Hall. His eyes glared angrily at Zhu Rong, and he roared, "Zhu Rong, stop spouting nonsense here! When have I, Gong Gong, ever been afraid? If you're not convinced, let's go outside and have a real fight!"
Zhu Rong slapped his hand and stood up, pointing at Gong Gong, shouting, "Let's fight! Who's afraid of who? Remember, your third brother will always be your third brother, so don't cry later!"
The two were evenly matched, neither willing to concede to the other!
"Enough! What are you trying to do? We are all brothers, born from the blood of the Father God, why are you doing this!"
Dijiang released his aura, instantly suppressing the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong glared at each other before taking their seats.
"Little sister, what do you think of this matter?"
Houtu slowly said, "Elder brother, I understand what you mean, but the Purple Mansion is not so easy to deal with. Moreover, even if we join forces to destroy the Purple Mansion, we may not be able to kill Donghua."
"What should we, the Witch Clan, do if such a situation occurs? That is a Great Powers in the Late Stage Quasi-Saint, whose strength is definitely among the top in the Primordial Wilderness world."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin laughed heartily and said, "Little sister, if you're worried about this, you can rest assured. With the Lich and Demon factions joining forces, even the Three Pure Ones would have to kneel before me."
"Second brother is right. If the witches and demons join forces, who can stand against them? Let alone the mere Purple Mansion Donghua, even the Three Pure Ones would have to bow down!"
"Yes, that's right. Little sister, what you're saying is a bit alarmist."
Dijiang chuckled and said, "Little sister, your worries are unnecessary. With the lich and demons joining forces, how could Donghua possibly survive?"
Having come this far, Houtu couldn't say anything more, and could only say, "Elder brother, you go to the battle this time, I won't go. I have matters to attend to at Mount Tai, so I'll take my leave now."
Houtu finished speaking, she left immediately!
Xuan Ming, who was standing to the side, also got up to take his leave and followed Houtu away.
"In that case, my younger sister and Xuan Ming will not participate in this battle!"
Dijiang exuded the aura of Late Stage Quasi-Saint as he looked at the other Ancestor Witch.
"Yes, sir!"
P. S.: I almost couldn't update today. I was busy with an event until 5 pm and didn't see my phone or computer all day.
