Primordial Era: The Pure White Lotus, purifying all laws.

Chapter 21: The Demon Court's Overbearing Power, the Immortal Court's Rise to Power

The terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao surged into Wuchen's body along with his divine thoughts, attempting to disrupt his Dao heart and impact his meridians.

Wuchen quickly withdrew his divine sense, and a great purifying divine light shone around his body.

"Buzz!"

The power of Heaven clashed with the divine light of purification, and the invincible divine light of purification was swiftly annihilated at that moment.

Fortunately, the power of the Heavenly Dao contained in the Primordial Purple Qi was not very strong.

Just as the purifying divine light on Wuchen's body was about to completely extinguish, the power of the Heavenly Dao also dissipated.

Wuchen's expression was slightly solemn.

He almost couldn't block the power of the Heavenly Dao contained in the Primordial Purple Qi. After Hongjun merged with the Dao, how could he possibly block it?

"Daoist Master?"

Seeing Wuchen's solemn expression and unsteady breathing, Nuwa and the other two quickly asked him what was wrong, their hopes fading slightly.

Wuchen waved his hand, indicating that he was unharmed.

He slowly closed his eyes, calming the chaotic Dao energy within his body, his heart filled with solemnity and helplessness.

The Heavenly Dao is ultimately not Hongjun; for him to try to resist it with only the strength of a Dao Venerable is nothing short of a pipe dream.

A moment later, Wuchen opened his eyes again, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Perhaps I can resolve this once I take a further step, but for now, there is nothing I can do. If I force it, you will be annihilated, your souls scattered."

Upon hearing this, the last vestiges of hope in the three hearts were completely extinguished.

How easy is it to attain enlightenment?

Wuchen may be powerful, but it is obviously not something that can be done in a short time if he wants to attain enlightenment. How many years will it take for him to attain enlightenment?

Are they truly destined to become mere pawns of Heaven, manipulated by Hongjun for their entire lives?

Wuchen looked at Nuwa and said, "It's not entirely hopeless. You all should know that there are heavens beyond heavens."

Although the Great Way has receded into the background, it can still be summoned by a great force.

When your time to attain enlightenment arrives, you may be able to peel away that purple aura through the Great Dao, but success or failure is uncertain.

After Houtu attains enlightenment, she may also be able to help it peel away the Primordial Purple Qi.

However, since Hongjun has already made his move, he may not give them the chance to wait for Houtu to attain enlightenment. In the end, they can only rely on themselves for some things.

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's hope was rekindled.

Laozi saw that Wuchen was only speaking to Nuwa, and knew that the same method might not work on them.

So he asked, "May I ask, Venerable Daoist, what about the two of us?"

Wuchen patiently explained, "Your chance to attain enlightenment will surely come after Nuwa. If she succeeds, you two will naturally be safe."

Laozi and Tongtian were both startled upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Nuwa's opportunity to attain enlightenment would actually be before those who were the true descendants of Pangu. They had underestimated her.

But no matter what, it's still a glimmer of hope, isn't it?

With hope in their hearts, the three of them were no longer so desperate.

The three then inquired about the Great Luo realm, and Wuchen repeated what he had said to the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"You must remember that cultivation is about cultivating the self, but it is about cultivating the one true self."

Even the path of severing the three corpses will eventually lead to unification, and within this path lies hidden danger; a single misstep can result in total defeat.

Wuchen subconsciously applied some eye drops to Hongjun.

Although the three of them kept Wuchen's words firmly in mind, they did not pay much attention to them. It was impossible for them to cultivate Hongjun's Three Corpses Severing Path.

Hongjun has persecuted them to this extent, how can they possibly follow his path?

They would rather follow the old path of Hunyuan and try the path of cultivating the Dao than touch Hongjun's bullshit path of severing the three corpses.

Of course, if possible, they would still like to try to find their own path.

Having asked the questions that needed to be asked and received the answers that needed to be received, the three of them felt it inappropriate to stay on Fangzhang Island any longer, so they got up to take their leave.

After the three left, Wuchen took out the Pangu Banner and began to refine it.

The Pangu Banner was transformed from the blade of Pangu's axe. It is a rare innate treasure in the primordial world, containing the complete laws of power and the Dao of creation.

Unfortunately, it's just a rule, not a set of regulations.

Wuchen secluded himself in seclusion, ignoring worldly affairs, and devoted himself to refining the Pangu Banner he had just acquired, comprehending its laws.

With the return of the three thousand mortals from Zixiao Palace, the long-silent prehistoric continent once again became lively.

The first to stir up the primordial world were Di Jun and Tai Yi, among others.

After the Wu tribe withdrew from Buzhou Mountain, Di Jun and others established the Demon Court in this first divine mountain of the primordial world, preparing to formally establish the Demon Court.

On this day, Di Jun's oath to Heaven resounded throughout the entire prehistoric world.

"Heaven's will prevails!"

"I, Emperor Jun/I, Taiyi, feel that the order of the primordial world is incomplete and all spirits are without support. Therefore, I hereby establish the Demon Court to govern all spirits of the primordial world and restore the order of heaven and earth."

"The Yellow River Map and the Luo River Writing, along with the Eastern Emperor Bell, are used to suppress the flow of fortune, and Heaven will bear witness to this."

"Demon Court, stand guard!"

As soon as Di Jun and Tai Yi finished speaking, the world suddenly changed color.

Boundless merit descended from the heavens.

Although no Daoist voice was transmitted, the boundless merit was the best answer.

Boundless merit is divided into five.

The two largest portions were absorbed into the bodies of Di Jun and Tai Yi respectively. If they had not been lost on their path ahead, the two would have been able to break through to the Great Luo realm in one fell swoop by relying on their merits.

Then two more merits were incorporated into the Eastern Emperor Bell and the River Chart and Luo River Book, respectively.

The last portion was distributed among all members of the Demon Court.

The dazzling golden light of merit filled the sky, attracting all living beings in the primordial world to stop and look up, their eyes filled with envy and greed.

In other words, merits have an owner and cannot be stolen; otherwise, there would be no shortage of brave and fierce people.

Di Jun and Tai Yi stood in front of the newly completed Ten Thousand Demon Palace, looking at the ten demon generals, powerful demons, and thousands of demon soldiers, without a trace of pride in their eyes.

They knew that there was only one chance to become a saint, and to seize this opportunity, they had to clear away all obstacles and eliminate all potential competitors.

Thus, less than three thousand years after its founding, the Demon Court embarked on a path of conquest that swept across the primordial world.

Emperor Jun and Taiyi personally led the demon army, with the ten demon generals each leading their own forces. Wherever they went, all the creatures of the prehistoric world who refused to submit were slaughtered.

The Demon Court acts tyrannically and ruthlessly, even surpassing the previous Witch Clan in its cruelty. Wherever it goes, it causes widespread suffering and resentment among the innate beings of all races.

All living beings in the primordial world were filled with righteous indignation.

The Eastern King Duke of Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea seized this once-in-a-millennium opportunity and immediately spoke out, calling out to all the spirits of the primordial world.

He did not speak of attacking the witches, but only said that the Demon Court was cruel and wanted to devour all the spirits of the primordial world. Only by uniting all races and fighting against the Demon Court could they preserve the foundation of their own races.

These words were exactly what all the creatures of the primordial world wanted to hear. Those innate beings who had suffered greatly from the invasion of the Demon Court flocked to the Eastern King Duke's camp with their clans.

The tyranny of the Demon Court ironically benefited the Eastern King.

His forces quickly gathered numerous powerful figures, and his influence surged dramatically.

Seeing that the situation was already under control.

Following the example of Emperor Jun and Taiyi, Dongwanggong built a celestial palace on Penglai Immortal Island, intending to formally establish a celestial court, proclaim himself the master of the celestial court, and rule over all living beings in the primordial world.

"Heaven's will prevails..."

The oath of the Eastern King resounded throughout the primordial world, enraging Di Jun and his men who had just freed themselves to deal with them.
