West Kunlun, beneath the Ren Water Flat Peach Tree.
West Queen Mother propped her chin on both hands, her eyes brimming with deep affection.
Not for immortality, only to wait for your return amidst the mortal world.
A thousand years had passed since their parting at Purple Cloud Palace. West Queen Mother cultivated in her dojo, her realm reaching Late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal as she gradually comprehended the Supreme Yin Law.
"Husband, This Concubine misses you..."
West Queen Mother's red lips parted slightly, her heart trembling, with no mind for enlightenment.
From the moment she met East King Duke, her spring-blooming heart had fallen upon that man.
Just then!
Roar! Roar! Roar!
A dragon's cry resounded, thunder rolling in.
A Divine Dragon spanning hundreds of millions of zhang emerged at the edge of the heavens. East King Duke, stepping upon Qiongqi's head, descended from the Nine Heavens and arrived before West Queen Mother, pulling the beauty into his embrace.
"I've kept you waiting!"
His eyes brimming with affection, East King Duke kissed West Queen Mother's red lips. The two stood like statues beneath the Ren Water Flat Peach Tree, unmoving as peach blossoms scattered around them.
Hundreds of millions of li away, Qiongqi circled at the mountain gate of South Kunlun.
Beyond being a mount, Qiongqi had gained the title of Guardian Beast.
"Husband!"
After a long while, their lips parted.
West Queen Mother gazed dazedly at his broad chest, feeling East King Duke's scorching, warm presence, unwilling to leave his embrace for a long time.
"This Emperor has returned. From now on, we shall never part!"
East King Duke stroked West Queen Mother's head, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips. Only now did he set aside the majesty of an Immortal Emperor, letting his tenderness flow freely.
Just as the two were about to take things further—
Within the boundless starry sky, two majestic, awe-inspiring voices echoed across the Primordial Era.
"The Witch-Demon Tribulation stirs, winds and clouds shift, blood and rain will rise. The Wu Race and the Yao Race have begun to bare their fangs!"
East King Duke halted his movements, wrapping an arm around West Queen Mother's waist.
His gaze, sharp as an arrow, pierced through the vast starry sky and landed upon the Sun Star.
Palaces stood in rows, resplendent and magnificent.
True Sun Fire blazed fiercely. The Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Fusang Tree, shone brilliantly, radiating an unbearably scorching aura.
Dijun bore the River Diagram and Luo Script atop his head, holding the Sun Essence Wheel in hand. His aura was overbearing, a will to dominate all things spreading across the starry sky as countless Yao beings knelt before him.
Beside him, Eastern Emperor Taiyi held the Chaos Bell in his right hand. Spacetime Law and Sun Law manifested abruptly, an endless pressure no weaker than Dijun's.
The Chaos Bell possessed the power to suppress spacetime and the cosmos. Eastern Emperor Taiyi comprehended Spacetime Law from it, and as a spirit of the Sun Star, he naturally bore the Sun Law.
The Sun Law was not Supreme Yang!
Yet it shared a similar essence.
"Heavenly Dao Above, I, Dijun, and my younger brother Taiyi, now sense that the Primordial Era beings contend with one another, the Ten Thousand Races are discordant, and order is in chaos. We wish to establish the Yao Race Heavenly Court to teach and transform all beings, governing the heavenly laws."
"All within the Primordial Era, whether Innate Deities or later-born beings, shall be ruled by our Yao Race Heavenly Court."
"With the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell and the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure River Diagram and Luo Script suppressing the Heavenly Court's destiny, I, Dijun, shall be the Heavenly Emperor, Taiyi the Yao Race Eastern Emperor. Below us, we appoint the Ten Great Yao Saints. May Heavenly Dao bear witness."
Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, leading the Yao race multitudes, knelt in worship. Boundless destiny converged upon the two Demon Emperors, settling upon the Chaos Bell and the River Diagram and Luo Script.
As the words fell—
Within the vast starry sky, golden light of merit flashed, evolving countless auspicious signs that bloomed above the Sun Star like brilliant fireworks.
Then, Heavenly Dao Merit split into several portions, falling upon Dijun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Ten Great Yao Saints, and the Yao race beings.
"Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, achieved!"
Dijun refined the Heavenly Dao Merit, his cultivation surging directly.
What would have required thousands of years of cultivation to break through to Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was accomplished in an instant.
Beside him, Eastern Emperor Taiyi used the Heavenly Dao Merit to comprehend Spacetime Law and Sun Law, his spirit wandering through the void, sinking into enlightenment, wrapped in endless True Sun Fire.
Compared to Dijun using Heavenly Dao Merit to boost his cultivation, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's approach was far wiser—this was also why his combat power surpassed Dijun's.
Yet Dijun, gathering Heavenly Dao Destiny, had already begun to display the majesty of a Heavenly Emperor, and his cultivation would steadily advance.
As long as the Yao race ruled the Primordial Era, Dijun could Prove Dao and Become a Saint through destiny.
With the establishment of the Yao Race Heavenly Court, the reactions of various Innate Deities differed.
Some Innate Deities wished to join the Heavenly Court, but top-tier Innate Great Powers such as the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, and Hong Yun of Huo Yun Cave did not take the Heavenly Court seriously.
The Title of Heavenly Emperor could awe all beings, but it could not force these Innate Great Powers to submit.
Buzhou Mountain, before the Pangu Hall.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches wore grim expressions, their overwhelming killing intent with no outlet.
Now that the Yao Race Heavenly Court had emerged, the Wu Race, as a contender for the Co-Lord of Heaven and Earth, had to display its strength and authority, and not fall short of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage's reputation.
"Big Brother, the Primordial World was created by Pangu Father God, so the authority of the Heavenly Dao should be in the hands of our Wu Race. Those two mixed-feathered birds are simply too arrogant."
"Why don't we attack the Sun Star and wipe out the Yao Race Heavenly Court outright!"
With Zhu Rong's fiery temper, he certainly couldn't stand Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
In his eyes, who cared about Dao Ancestor Hongjun or any other great powers—anyone living in the Primordial World should submit beneath the Wu Race's feet.
Hearing this!
Dijiang's face was heavy; he had to make a decision.
But to resolve on dominating the Primordial World, he had to bear the corresponding cost.
If they failed, the Wu Race would surely be annihilated!
Looking at the expectant gazes of the many Ancestral Witches, Dijiang clenched his fists and made up his mind.
"The Wu Race disrespected the Heavenly Dao, solely revering Pangu!"
"All Primordial Era Beings have received the grace of our Pangu Father God. Today, our Pangu Orthodox Lineage acts on Father God's behalf to govern the Primordial World. If anyone dares to defy Father God's will, they are enemies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and shall be killed without mercy!"
"The Primordial World shall honor the Wu Race as supreme, with the Pangu Hall suppressing the Wu Race's destiny!"
Dijiang led the Ancestral Witches in proclaiming their sovereignty over the Primordial World.
Though he didn't know what use destiny had, seeing the Yao Race's momentum, Heavenly Dao Destiny was likely a great tool for the Wu Race to rule the Primordial World. So Dijiang imitated them, using the Pangu Hall to suppress the Wu Race's destiny.
But the effect was certainly inferior to the Yao Race's.
After all, the Wu Race had disrespected the Heavenly Dao, so they would not receive its blessings. Let alone being granted Heavenly Dao Merit, it was fortunate for the Wu Race that the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder hadn't obliterated their tribes outright.
After the oath, the Twelve Ancestral Witches led the Wu Race's army to conquer the Primordial World.
They pushed outward, slaughtering Yao Race members and suppressing living beings.
In an instant, Sha Qi and karmic consequences surged, while countless streams of blood poured into the Netherworld Sea of Blood, becoming nourishment for Old Ancestor Minghe to raise his cultivation.
West Kunlun.
Inside a boudoir, upon a Jade Couch.
West Queen Mother's clothes were disheveled as she nestled in East King Duke's arms.
"The Heavenly Court is established, the Wu Race expands, but this is not yet the time for This Emperor to act!"
"When both the Wu and Yao are weakened, This Emperor can emerge across the world, in the name of Immortal Emperor, to benefit the Primordial Era Beings and touch that elusive Heavenly Dao Destiny!"
East King Duke muttered to himself, with no intention of contending for the Primordial World.
Of course, Heavenly Dao Destiny was still on his mind, for the path of destiny was among the Three Thousand Great Daos. To refine it, one had to become the universally recognized sovereign of the Primordial Era beings.
[Ding!]
[God-tier Choice System refreshed successfully. Two choices are now presented to the host.]
[Choice One: Establish the Immortal Court, enlighten the Primordial Era Beings, defeat the Wu Race and Yao Race, and be rewarded with the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, Five-Needle Pine.]
[Choice Two: Steadily and cautiously develop, do not participate in the Primordial World's struggle for supremacy, and be rewarded with the Great Dao Yin-Yang Art.]
The God-tier Choice appeared again, filling East King Duke with joy.
The Great Dao Yin-Yang Art was clearly a cultivation method the system gave him to enhance his comprehension of the Yin-Yang Law.
"This Emperor chooses two!"
Immediately, a beam of Yin-Yang chaotic light surged into his Primordial Spirit, and the mysteries of the Great Dao Yin-Yang Art unfolded fully before East King Duke's eyes.
It turned out to be a top-tier Dual Cultivation technique!
When Primordial Spirit and physical body merged, it plunged the Yin-Yang Law into cycles and enlightenment, making it an incredibly profound technique.
Not only could it raise East King Duke's cultivation, but West Queen Mother, who cultivated with him, could also advance her realm.
"Take this Pangu Marrow, then comprehend the Great Dao Yin-Yang Art with This Emperor. It will help us both enjoy the bliss of perfect union!"
East King Duke took out a few drops of Pangu Marrow and fed them to West Queen Mother.
At the same time, he lightly tapped with his right hand, sending the Great Dao Yin-Yang Art into West Queen Mother's Primordial Spirit.
"You're so bad..."
West Queen Mother let out a coquettish hum, yielding to East King Duke's release.
In an instant, the Yin-Yang Law spread out, veiling the spring scene on the Jade Couch.
