"Elder Brother, this is Ji Meng, this is Ying Zhao, this is Fei Dan, Fei Lian, Jiu Ying, Shang Yang, Bai Ze, Qin Yuan, Ci Tie, and Gui Che. Some of these brothers you have met, and some I recruited while you were in seclusion. Their cultivation levels are all at the early Great Luo."
"Aside from that, the total number of living beings we have recruited exceeds one hundred billion. Among them, countless are in the Earth Immortal Realm, close to ten billion are in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, hundreds of millions are in the True Immortal Realm, hundreds of thousands are in the Mysterious Immortal Realm, over a thousand are in the Taiyi Realm, and nearly a hundred are in the Golden Immortal Realm."
"I also checked the minor worlds on Mount Buzhou that you asked me to investigate before going into seclusion. There are thirty-three heavens in total, connected as a whole and combined by an Innate Grand Formation. They are about the middle thousand level, and the world rules and operation of the Great Dao are all close to perfection."
Outside the palace, Taiyi introduced to Di Jun.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The ten powerhouses shouted, cupping their fists.
"Fellow daoists, there is no need for such formalities. With our faction not yet established, I cannot yet be called Your Majesty."
Looking at those later known as the Ten Great Demon Sages before him, Di Jun wore a faint smile and said warmly.
Although the challenges he faced were huge, fortunately he was not a commander of a barebones army; he still possessed a bit of foundation and a few underlings, which provided a small measure of comfort.
"Yes."
The ten Demon Sages smiled knowingly and said.
"Elder Brother, let's hurry up and start, otherwise we won't be able to catch up to the Purple Mansion, let alone contend for hegemony across the Primordial Wilderness. According to what we agreed upon earlier, we will first establish the demon race, and then establish the Heavenly Court."
Taiyi said eagerly.
"The demon race?"
"No, we are not establishing the demon race."
Di Jun slowly said.
Hearing this, Taiyi's expression froze in astonishment, and the ten Demon Sages were also slightly taken aback. Before they could ask, Di Jun calmly said: "The scope and concept of the demon race are far too limited. Since we are going to contend for hegemony over the Primordial Wilderness and unify it, how can we limit ourselves to a single race? That would be binding our own hands and feet, and it would restrict us as well."
Hearing this, Taiyi and the others instinctively nodded. It seemed like it really made sense, didn't it?
"Then—"
Taiyi opened his mouth as if to speak, but Di Jun continued: "If we Innate Beings transform, we immediately take the Innate Dao Body. Every stroke written represents a human. Humans are the leaders of all spirits and the source of all races."
"Whether they are clad in scales and armor, or plants transformed into spirits, including mountains, rivers, and streams—no matter who it is, all living beings are considered human. That being the case, if we establish an orthodoxy, it should naturally be the Human Dao! We shall establish the Human Dao and set up the Human Dao Heavenly Court!"
After these resolute and forceful words, whether it was Taiyi or the ten Demon Sages, all felt an inexplicable surge of blood and a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Human... Dao...
Murmuring sounds escaped from the lips of everyone present. Looking at Di Jun, everyone's gaze turned strange; they only felt that Di Jun was even more majestic than before, and grew increasingly unfathomable and hard to fathom.
"Since the foundation is set, Taiyi, convey my order: all members belonging to our Human Dao Heavenly Court shall head to the Thirty-three Heavens, and immediately begin establishing the Human Dao and building the Heavenly Court!"
With a wave of his broad sleeve, Di Jun took a step forward. The Great Dao flowed, and his figure directly plunged into the void and vanished, leaving only that deep and majestic voice echoing between heaven and earth.
"Yes!"
Taiyi instinctively replied.
The Thirty-three Heavens, the First Heaven.
In a realm of nothingness and chaos, Di Jun temporarily conjured a platform and stood with his hands behind his back. The Innate Beings recruited by Taiyi arrived one after another, and soon, more than one hundred billion living beings stood upon the vast platform.
Countless living beings gathered here, their auras intertwining and colliding. Heaven and earth changed color, and continuous loud noises rang out, as if a storm was about to arrive, a majestic momentum sweeping across the face of everyone. One after another, terrifying divine and demonic apparitions and immense pressure were born in the void.
"I am Di Jun. Since you are all willing to enter my command, I naturally make a promise to you: as long as I do not die, I will definitely lead you to step upon the ultimate peak, unify the Primordial Wilderness, and even experience the myriad phenomena and catch a glimpse of all the heavens and myriad domains."
"If one day I become the supreme, every single one of you shall transcend."
"If one day my Heavenly Court resides as the very center of everything."
"If one day where I go is what you hope to see."
"Today, I, Di Jun, establish the Heavenly Court in the Thirty-three Heavens. Heaven means the firmament and the Heavenly Dao; Court means the imperial palace of heaven, the Heaven of Great Luo, and the realm of Xulu, executing authority on behalf of the Heavenly Dao and operating on behalf of heaven and earth."
"It monitors the order of all heavens, regulates the evolution of all realms, serves as the dwelling place for all holiness, and is the source of all heavenly watchtowers."
"Human means the leader of all spirits, the head of all races, the root of all sentient beings, and the source of all things."
"It is the Human Dao Heavenly Court!"
"The root of order for all living beings and things, the source of all heaven and earth evolution."
"As the Heavenly Emperor, I suppress the Heavenly Court and guard all order. Only I am immortal, only I endure forever. I grasp the order of the Heavenly Court's succession and rotation, and set the Qiankun of heaven and earth and all eight directions."
Rays of sacrificial texts and Dao sounds issued from Di Jun's mouth. With a majestic expression and solemn demeanor, the Dharmic power compressed from his comprehension of the Great Dao was manipulated by Di Jun, every single word and phrase seeming to carry the Heavenly Constitution, as if pregnant with infinite profundity.
The entire Thirty-three Heavens vibrated amid Di Jun's words, as if erupting with unspeakable profundity, seemingly extending the profundity of myriad phenomena from the dark unknown.
In an instant, Heavenly Flowers Falling, Earth Gushing Golden Lotuses, brilliant multicolored rays of light, and purple Qi soaring into the air appeared. Streams of auspicious Qi fell from the firmament, countless immortal flowers danced wildly in the wind, and infinite might seemed to converge upon Di Jun's body, carrying the profundity of ultimate sublimation and endless transformation.
"We pay respects to Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"We pay respects to Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
"We pay respects to Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
All the Innate Beings wore fanatical expressions with surging emotions, all dropping to one knee and shouting loudly. The roar was so loud it shook the Thirty-three Heavens, echoing across the azure firmament, such that even the Primordial Continent outside the Thirty-three Heavens faintly transmitted the sound, and dazzling golden light even appeared in the firmament of Mount Buzhou.
As if guided by Vital Energy, Di Jun expressionlessly operated the Method of Dynasty while casting his gaze toward Taiyi. Taiyi understood tacitly, flipping his palm to summon the Chaos Bell.
"Use the Chaos Bell to suppress the Heavenly Court's destiny."
"Human Dao Heavenly Court, emerge!"
The Chaos Bell fell into the boundless swirling mist. As Di Jun finished his final word, when the Method of Dynasty was operated to the absolute limit, boundless destiny gathered and surged.
In an instant, it felt like an ultimate sublimation. From the dark void, infinite destiny gathered within Di Jun's body, and the Heavenly Dao felt it, causing Di Jun's voice to spread across the entire Primordial Continent at this moment.
Boom!!!
An invisible, heaven-splitting roar erupted from within Di Jun's body. Through endless leaps and ultimate transformation, bolstered by majestic destiny, Di Jun directly broke through the bottleneck and entered the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm!
Not a Quasi-Saint, but the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm!
"Human Dao Heavenly Court."
At the same time, all Primordial Great Powers and powerhouses were startled. Hearing Di Jun's words—"Human Dao Heavenly Court, emerge!"—countless gazes focused upon the Thirty-three Heavens.
The realms of the Primordial Wilderness were briefly introduced in the first line of this chapter, but let's explain them in detail~
From low to high, they are Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Taiyi, Golden Immortal, Great Luo, Quasi-Saint (Primordial Golden Immortal), and Sage (Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal).
