The Eastern Sea, Mount Fangzhu, where the Purple Mansion Headquarters founded by East King Duke, Head of Male Immortals, was located. Before Donghua Palace, East King Duke stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the sky with a cold smile on his lips.
"Di Jun? Hah, a mere feathered beast wants to meddle in the affairs of the Primordial Wilderness? I am the Head of Male Immortals, personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. You think you can compete with me? Laughable!"
He glanced disdainfully toward the Thirty-three Heavens, then turned and walked into Donghua Palace, sending a message at the same time to summon all the Purple Mansion's powerful figures for a meeting.
He might have been contemptuous, but he still had to take the threat seriously. After all, Di Jun and Taiyi were powerful in their own right and could not be underestimated. Reality wasn't a novel; people weren't all haughty and invincible. Everyone had a brain.
Mount Buzhou, inside the Ancestral Witch Hall.
"Di Jun is quite something! East King Duke wants to unify the Primordial Wilderness, and now Di Jun has to stick his nose in too. We are Father God's descendants! We are the rightful rulers of the Primordial Wilderness! We should be the ones protecting it!"
Zhu Rong, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches born from Pangu's twelve drops of essence blood, thundered furiously.
"Enough. Let them fight for it if they want. In the end, they'll still be making a wedding dress for us. First, let's use Father God's heart to nurture our people. Once our Witch Clan emerges, everything will be settled."
Di Jiang spoke calmly, his gaze deep and inscrutable.
"Yes."
Zhu Rong said no more and continued working with the other Ancestral Witches, using their own essence blood to nurture and create their people.
Mount Buzhou, Cave of Creation.
Nuwa and Fuxi were drinking tea and discussing the Dao. When they heard Di Jun announce the establishment of the Human Dao Heavenly Court, they both looked up at the sky.
Nuwa seemed moved. A hint of confusion and uncertainty passed through her eyes, while Fuxi's gaze gradually grew resolute.
"East King Duke established the Purple Mansion, and now Di Jun has established the Human Dao Heavenly Court. I can sense the Karmic Tribulation Qi in the world rising. I'm afraid a new tribulation is about to begin. During a tribulation, anyone who fails to prove the Dao is an ant, liable to perish at any moment."
"Little Sister, you are a Heaven-Appointed Saint. Once the opportunity arises, you will certainly prove the Dao. Once you do, you'll transcend the world and escape the tribulation. I want to join a faction and seek an opportunity to prove the Dao."
Fuxi looked at Nuwa and took a deep breath before speaking solemnly.
"Elder Brother, the Dragon-Han Tribulation was so brutal. No one knows what this tribulation will be like. Why not wait until it's over before seeking an opportunity to prove the Dao?"
Nuwa bit her lip, her eyes filled with worry.
"I know my own situation. Tribulations are dangerous, but they also hold boundless possibilities. If I stay out of this one, my chance to prove the Dao will be even more distant. Little Sister, don't try to talk me out of it. I know what I'm doing."
Fuxi smiled faintly.
"Then be careful, Elder Brother. Talk it over with me if anything happens."
Seeing this, Nuwa stopped trying to dissuade him and simply cautioned him.
"I understand."
Fuxi nodded with a smile. "I'm not saying I'll join a major faction right away. I'll watch and see how things go."
"Mm."
Nuwa answered, then looked toward the Thirty-three Heavens again. "I'd like to visit the Heavenly Court too."
"Little Sister, you're a Heaven-Appointed Saint. Why would you need to join a faction?"
Fuxi asked in surprise.
"I'm not joining. I was simply moved by what Di Jun just said about the Human Dao."
Nuwa shook her head.
Mount Kunlun, inside Taiqing Palace.
Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing, who had been transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, were cultivating together. When Di Jun's voice rang out, all three were roused from their meditation and looked toward the sky.
"We are Heaven-Appointed Saints. The turmoil outside has nothing to do with us. Second Brother, Third Brother, focus on comprehending the Primordial Violet Qi and seeking an opportunity to prove the Dao."
Taiqing spoke calmly, his expression indifferent.
"Yes."
"Yes."
Yuqing and Shangqing turned their eyes away without objection.
West Kunlun, Longevity Mountain, the West, the Eastern Sea, and the Sea of Blood.
With Di Jun's establishment of the Heavenly Court, the entire Primordial Wilderness was stirred by undercurrents and rising tides. Countless powerful figures began pondering their next moves, each with their own agenda. The vast Primordial Wilderness seemed to sense a storm on the horizon.
At the same time, in the heart of Chaos stood a palace, indistinct and wreathed in Three Thousand Order Divine Prohibitions, as if it were connected to the Three Thousand Great Daos.
An old Daoist slowly opened his eyes.
This was none other than the renowned Purple Cloud Palace, the origin of the three thousand guests of Purple Cloud Palace!
And the old Daoist was none other than Hongjun, the first Saint in the Primordial Wilderness, the Dao Ancestor, and the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson!
"Di Jun. At last, it's begun. I hope you don't disappoint me."
Gazing into the void, Hongjun's eyes seemed to cross boundless space and settle upon the Thirty-three Heavens. He watched Di Jun establishing the Heavenly Court, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his eyes. Then he closed them again.
The Thirty-three Heavens, the First Heaven.
"The Thirty-three Heavens are too many. Let them be the Nine Heavens."
Sensing that his cultivation had broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm, Di Jun's lips curved in a faint smile as he looked into the void. As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed at the sky.
In an instant, the world trembled. A colossal hand, white as jade and vast enough to blot out the heavens and earth, seemed even more immense than the world itself as it swept toward the Thirty-three Heavens.
The Emperor's Great Dao circulated, and Great Dao Runes appeared in Di Jun's palm. His hand closed, and a series of deafening booms erupted. Rumbling spread in waves, boundless heat swept outward, Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire surged, and streams of Vital Energy flowed. Under the stunned and astonished gazes of everyone present, Di Jun compressed the entire Thirty-three Heavens into the Nine Heavens.
Boom!!!
An intangible sound suddenly rang out. As the Thirty-three Heavens merged into the Nine Heavens, the world, whose order had been incomplete and whose Great Dao had been lacking, was made whole. The entire Heavenly Realm truly entered the Middle Thousand World tier.
"Your Majesty, you've broken through?"
Taiyi's face lit up with delight as he asked excitedly.
Di Jun smiled and nodded slightly, then his expression grew serious again.
"From this day on, the First Heaven shall be called Taihuang Heaven, the Second Heaven Seven Luminaries Heaven, the Third Heaven Taiji Heaven, the Fourth Heaven Xuanming Heaven, the Fifth Heaven Yuanzai Heaven, the Sixth Heaven Taian Heaven, the Seventh Heaven Wuji Heaven, the Eighth Heaven Haoting Heaven, and the Ninth Heaven Daluo Heaven."
His gaze swept across them as Di Jun spoke with authority.
"Yes!!!"
"Yes!!!"
"Yes!!!"
The beings of the Heavenly Court answered in unison.
"Taiyi, you will handle the Heavenly Court's construction and the organization of its various departments. I need to go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation. If nothing urgent comes up, leave me a message. If something urgent happens, notify me immediately."
Di Jun spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Taiyi answered at once.
With a flash, Di Jun vanished from where he stood.
In Daluo Heaven, Di Jun waved his hand and created a palace, then stepped inside.
He sat cross-legged. After sensing the mysteries of the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm, he opened his eyes again.
"As expected of the Method of Dynasty. After gathering the Heavenly Court's power and transforming it into a dynasty, I can directly draw on the Heavenly Court Destiny to deepen my comprehension and cultivation. If the Heavenly Court rises further, I can even bestow that comprehension upon others."
"Directly comprehending the Great Dao and condensing the Great Dao Origin is harder than proving the Dao by Severing Three Corpses, but the strength it brings is far greater, and it leaves no hidden dangers. With the dynasty's support, there's no need to worry that my progress will be too slow."
"But...it still isn't enough!"
His eyelids lowered as countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Di Jun took a deep breath and looked toward the Primordial Continent.
Not enough!
Far from enough!
If he wanted to break free of his shackles, if he wanted to transcend Destiny, how could the Method of Dynasty alone suffice?
"The Method of Mythological Imperial Dynasty."
The words came from Di Jun's lips like a murmur.
