Di Jiang awoke from his cultivation.

He spread out his senses, noticed that the Witches were cultivating, and nodded.

The other Ancestral Witches were cultivating as well.

At this rate,

Di Jiang felt that Zhu Jiuyin and the others would not be far from breaking through to the Chaos Golden Immortal realm.

As he pondered this, a vast aura of Earth Law suddenly emerged within Pangu Hall.

"This is...!"

A look of surprise appeared on Di Jiang's face.

In the blink of an eye, the aura of Earth Law became increasingly complete.

A powerful aura condensed.

Hou Tu slowly emerged from the depths of Pangu Hall, surrounded by the aura of Earth Law. When she saw Di Jiang, a smile appeared on her face as she said,

"Big Brother! Why are you here?"

Di Jiang smiled at Hou Tu and said,

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Chaos Golden Immortal realm, Sister Hou Tu!"

"You broke through much faster than your other brothers and sisters."

Thinking about it carefully, that made sense. Hou Tu was affected by relatively little baleful aura. Among all the Ancestral Witches, only Di Jiang himself and Hou Tu could develop Primordial Spirits.

However, according to the original course of events, Di Jiang did not cultivate his Primordial Spirit and allowed it to be worn away by baleful aura. Hou Tu only manifested her Primordial Spirit when she attained the Netherworld Sage realm, becoming Lady Ping Xin.

Hou Tu smiled and said,

"It is all thanks to the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique bestowed by Big Brother."

"That is why I was able to break through so quickly."

Di Jiang smiled, then said,

"Since your cultivation has broken through, come with me to take care of something."

"Your other brothers and sisters will not break through so quickly."

Hou Tu asked curiously, "Big Brother, what is it?"

Di Jiang said, "Just come with me!"

The two Witches then left Pangu Hall.

They transformed into streaks of light and swiftly flew westward.

Seeing their direction, Hou Tu asked curiously,

"Big Brother! Could we be heading for Mount Sumeru?"

Di Jiang shook his head.

"No! We are going to the Netherworld Blood Sea!"

"And for you, the Netherworld Blood Sea holds a great opportunity!"

Hou Tu was full of curiosity. What kind of opportunity could it be?

Just as Hou Tu was wondering what this opportunity was,

on the Sun Star,

Dijun and Taiyi sat facing each other.

Blazing Solar True Fire continuously coiled around them.

After a thousand years of cultivation,

their injuries had healed.

Moreover, their cultivation had reached the Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

They were only one step away from breaking through to the Quasi-Sage realm.

A blazing golden light shone in Dijun's eyes as he slowly said,

"Second Brother! Are you ready?"

Taiyi nodded solemnly.

"The Demon Clan under our command has already assembled!"

"They have now entered the Thirty-Three Heavens at Kunlun Summit."

"We need only wait for Big Brother's command to announce it to the Heavenly Dao, establish the Demon Court, and seek boundless fortune to attain Sainthood."

Dijun nodded, rose to his feet, and said with a majestic bearing,

"Good!"

"Second Brother! Once we attain Sainthood, go reclaim the Chaos Bell yourself!"

Taiyi stood as well, baleful energy filling his brow as he said,

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Dijun left the Sun Star and headed directly to the Thirty-Three Heavens. His golden hair fluttered as he looked down upon the many Demon Clan members kneeling below.

Taiyi stood one step behind Dijun, his bearing equally imposing.

They had discovered the Thirty-Three Heavens by chance. When they first found it, they had been immensely excited. Dijun in particular had felt that destiny was on his side.

Within the Soaring Heaven Palace of the Thirty-Three Heavens, the demons knelt upon the ground. The atmosphere was solemn, and no one spoke, though their expressions were filled with excitement.

Dijun swept his imperial robe and nodded to Taiyi beside him.

Then the two spoke in unison, their voices ringing out,

"Heavenly Dao above, today, within the palace of the Thirty-Three Heavens above Mount Buzhou, I, Dijun, and I, Taiyi, establish the Demon Court. I, Dijun, shall serve as the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court, while I, Taiyi, shall serve as its Eastern Sovereign. With the Primordial Spirit Treasure Taiyi Sword and the top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure River Chart and Luo Script, we shall suppress the fortune of the Demon Court. We hereby announce this to the Primordial World."

Taiyi's Eastern Sovereign Bell—or rather, the Chaos Bell—had already been seized by Di Jiang.

Now, Taiyi could only bring out his other accompanying spiritual treasure, the Taiyi Sword.

The Taiyi Sword was likewise a Primordial Spirit Treasure and possessed the ability to suppress fortune.

It was merely that the Chaos Bell had once been too overwhelmingly powerful, causing the Taiyi Sword's purpose to be overlooked.

As Dijun and Taiyi announced their declaration to the Heavenly Dao,

the Heavenly Dao responded in an instant. Vast pressure spread across the entire Primordial World, while golden fortune emerged from the void and surged toward Dijun and Taiyi.

Sixty percent of the fortune descended upon them, twenty percent fell upon the Taiyi Sword and River Chart and Luo Script, and ten percent settled upon the Soaring Heaven Palace in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The remaining ten percent scattered outward, drifting down upon the demons within the Soaring Heaven Palace and stirring them into commotion.

The forty percent of fortune allowed Dijun and Taiyi's realms to break through.

An aura surpassing that of Great Firmament Golden Immortals spread from their bodies.

The phantoms of two Golden Crows emerged behind them.

The Solar True Fire blazed with incomparable intensity.

Dijun's golden hair flew in the wind, and his golden eyes radiated boundless majesty.

Taiyi was the same!

The two each summoned a Primordial Spirit Treasure.

They began severing their Good Corpses and Evil Corpses, entrusting them to those Primordial Spirit Treasures.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Both of their Good Corpses and Evil Corpses were severed.

Borrowing the fortune generated by the establishment of the Demon Court, they pushed their cultivation in one stroke to the Quasi-Sage Middle Stage. The terrifying pressure forced the demons in the Soaring Heaven Palace to kneel on the ground.

The demons within the Soaring Heaven Palace all prostrated themselves and roared hoarsely at Dijun and Taiyi in the sky,

"We pay respects to Your Majesty and Lord Eastern Sovereign!"

Dijun was brimming with high spirits as he said,

"Good, good, good!"

"Rise, all of you!"

The scene of Dijun establishing the Demon Court caught the attention of the Innate Divine Saints throughout the Primordial World.

Each of the Innate Divine Saints had their own thoughts.

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun, who had been cultivating, sensed something. He opened his eyes, took out the Creation Jade Disc, and began calculating. Stroking his beard, he nodded with a smile at the corner of his lips.

"It has finally returned to the proper course!"

"The Witch-Demon Calamity is also about to officially begin..."

"No!"

Suddenly, the smile on Hongjun's face froze. Unwilling to accept it, he took out the Creation Jade Disc again and began calculating.

The Creation Jade Disc was practically belching black smoke.

Yet Hongjun's face still showed disbelief.

"How is this possible? Where is the Witch Clan? Where is such a massive Witch Clan?"

"Could it be that the Ancestral Witches did not use their own essence blood to establish the Witch Clan?"

"How could that be possible!"

"If there is no Witch Clan, how can the Witch-Demon Calamity begin?!"

He had been busy cultivating all this time in order to merge with the Dao as quickly as possible, yet now he was being told that such a massive Witch Clan had vanished.

All these signs revealed a strange air.

In a daze, he felt that someone must be plotting behind the scenes.

"Could this be another contingency left behind by Pangu?"

Hongjun thought blankly.

At this moment,

Di Jiang and Hou Tu, who were heading toward the Netherworld Blood Sea,

naturally witnessed the entire scene of Dijun and Taiyi establishing the Demon Court.

Di Jiang watched the founding of the Demon Court with a faint smile. The Witch Clan has yet to be established. Hongjun, let's see how you can stir up the Witch-Demon Calamity now.

Hou Tu said,

"Big Brother! Is Fortune Attainment truly so profound?"

"It actually allowed Dijun and Taiyi to break through from the Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm to the Quasi-Sage Middle Stage in one stroke?"

Hearing this, Di Jiang merely smiled and said,

"Fortune Attainment progresses quickly in its early stages, but cultivation becomes increasingly difficult the farther one goes."

"Most importantly, the Heavenly Dao will not permit all the fortune of the Primordial World to belong to a single person."

When he spoke of the Heavenly Dao, a faint cold smile rested on Di Jiang's lips.
