Chapter 104 Establishing the Heavenly Court (1)
Soon, three streams of immortal energy and a rainbow of light headed straight for the Thirty-Third Heaven.
After some discussion, the Three Pure Ones each took the highest position of Heavenly Emperor and handed it over to Yuanshi Tianzun, the Eastern Azure Emperor and handed it over to Laozi, and the Southern Longevity Emperor and handed it over to Tongtian.
Meanwhile, among the thirty-three heavens, the uppermost three heavens are handed over to the Three Pure Ones.
The position of Ziwei Emperor, who governs all the stars in the heavens, is held by Di Jun. The remaining positions of Gouchen Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor, which originally belonged to the ruler of the earth, are divided among the demon race.
In reality, it was about letting Taiyi, Fuxi, and Nuwa divide the remaining two positions of Heavenly Emperor.
After all, among the demon race, there are only a few qualified to assume the position of Heavenly Emperor.
Although Emperor Jun was unhappy about losing his position as Heavenly Emperor, the strength and status of the Three Pure Ones were undeniable, and they could not possibly be subordinate to him. No matter how much ambition Emperor Jun harbored, he would not dare to make the three future saints his subordinates. Even Nuwa, who was always peaceful and had a close relationship with him, was treated as an equal by Emperor Jun, let alone the Three Pure Ones.
Although three mountains have appeared above his head, Di Jun is not afraid.
Compared to the threat posed by the Three Pure Ones to his power, the threat from the Witch Clan was greater.
At the same time, and more importantly, Styx was right.
Outside the Heavenly Court, he couldn't defeat the Witch Clan, but inside, anything was possible. The Three Pure Ones' strategies might be superior in the grand scheme of things; they were on the same level, after all.
"What a pity, if you don't become a saint, you'll remain an ant in the end." Di Jun sighed inwardly.
He dared not even think about the Primordial Purple Qi on the Dao Ancestor's disciple, but the Primordial Purple Qi of the Styx River was something he could hope for.
But now Styx is close to becoming a saint, and he can't do anything about it.
But if in the end, one can rely on the Heavenly Court's fortune to cultivate to the realm of the Three Corpses in One, and see the scenery of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, that would be quite nice.
On the other side, to the west, lies Mount Sumeru.
From afar, Zhunti and Jieyin saw the five-colored radiance of the auspicious clouds of the heavens shimmering, with countless treasures continuously falling from them, bringing more vitality to the western lands wherever they passed.
"Fellow Daoist Styx, what brings him here?" Jieyin asked with some confusion upon seeing this.
-
The creatures of the East fear that the two Western monks will find them and say, "You are destined to be with me in the West." They also fear that powerful beings with great supernatural abilities will come knocking on their door when they have nothing to do.
There's nothing we can do; what opportunities are there to be found in this barren land of the West?
If the people who came to our door weren't after the goods, then it must be because of the two of them.
Especially someone like Styx, with his high cultivation, ruthless methods, strong scheming ability, and Primordial Purple Qi, who could become a saint in the future, is truly impossible to guard against.
"Senior brother, if Fellow Daoist Styx really has come to cause trouble, we can't just turn him away." Zhunti smiled. He was easygoing. After all, they were disciples of the Dao Ancestor and had never offended Styx before. Especially after some calculations, he was certain that there was no karmic connection between them and Styx. Zhunti was even more certain that Styx was not here to cause trouble.
Even if they could, could the River Styx kill them?
"Very well." Jieyin sighed, and then together with Zhunti, one rode on a lotus-shaped cloud and the other sat on a twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit, and they came to the Nine Heavens to meet the River Styx.
"Fellow Daoist Styx, how have you been? We were unable to greet you properly this time in the West. Please forgive us." Jieyin looked at Styx above the auspicious clouds of the heavens and greeted him.
"But I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist Styx to my Western Paradise?"
"If there is anything we can do to help, we will do our utmost." Zhunti looked at the River Styx before him and said in agreement with his senior brother.
There's no way around it; the difference in strength is too great, so we can't afford to be disrespectful.
"Fellow Daoists, I have come to bring you good news," Styx said with a smile, looking at Zhunti and Jieyin before him.
It's not easy to drag Zhunti and Jieyin into this mess while also buying enough time for the Three Pure Ones and Dijun to forcefully establish the Heavenly Court.
Regardless of the final outcome or how successful his plan was, as long as he could drag the Three Pure Ones into the Lich War, that would be enough.
At that time, the dense aura of calamity and the terrifying karmic force and cause and effect will help him resolve everything.
Once the Three Pure Ones have rid themselves of the karmic influence of the Lich War, the Investiture of the Gods War, which would be enough to allow the Three Pure Ones to completely separate, will be around the time.
What he needs to do now is to give Zhunti and Jieyin a thought, a hope.
If a person has never seen the light, then that person may be able to endure the darkness, but if a person sees that ray of light, they will do everything they can to hold onto it and will crave more light.
The Three Pure Ones would never allow Zhunti and Jieyin to enter the Heavenly Court. Let alone such an important place as the Heavenly Court, the Three Pure Ones would never give up even a little bit of Eastern fortune and living beings to others unless absolutely necessary.
He'll be the good guy, and let fellow Daoists Zhunti and Jieyin suffer a bit more; plenty of people will bear the blame.
"What's there to be happy about?" Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance, both somewhat at a loss.
"Haha, don't rush, don't rush." At this moment, facing Zhunti Jieyin, he withdrew the image he had when he was suppressing Dijun in the Thirty-Three Heavens. He simply sat on the Zhutian Qingyun, his blood-red Daoist robe highlighting his handsome face.
"There are many living beings in this Mount Sumeru. Why don't we have a discussion about the Dao here on Mount Sumeru?" Styx said with a smile, looking at Zhunti and Jieyin in front of him.
"Of course, of course!" Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
The creatures in Mount Sumeru are mostly their disciples. They are all exceptionally diligent, and as for comprehension, they are also diligent.
They weren't afraid that the Styx would abduct their disciples from Mount Sumeru; it simply wasn't worth it.
Moreover, only Styx caught up with that final sermon. Styx's understanding of the Way of the Sage was far deeper than those who missed the last five hundred years of sermons. In particular, Zhunti and Jieyin were misled by Lingbao's Dharma Eye and missed the sermon for a whole year.
Discussing the Dao with the Styx would only bring them benefits, not harm.
As they were talking, the three of them entered Mount Sumeru together.
Before long, the three of them each occupied a corner and began to discuss the Dao. As the discussion began, various Daoist principles began to evolve, which captivated many creatures on Mount Sumeru.
You may not understand it, but listening to the sermon is a pleasure.
Styx's cultivation was far superior to that of Zhunti and Jieyin. Before long, their discussion began to resemble Styx preaching. Styx used the Dao of Reincarnation to respond to the Dao that Zhunti and Jieyin were developing. Zhunti and Jieyin were overwhelmed by Styx on their home turf, but they were not angry. They listened to the Dao while discussing it. Zhunti and Jieyin benefited greatly from the discussion and even discovered that the Dao of Reincarnation that Styx was developing was somewhat complementary to the Dao they were cultivating.
This left the two of them even more confused.
