Chapter 25: Di Jun Summons the Demons

  "Is that all for today's sermon? Do you have any questions?" Hongyuan's voice was extremely ethereal, as if it had floated in from the horizon. The various great divine cultivators were all still immersed in the mystical process of the sermon they had just heard, and for a moment, they didn't even know what to ask.

  As the Emperor of Demons, Di Jun's thoughts were naturally different from those of other cultivators. Instinctively feeling that the incredibly powerful Hong Jun was a threat to himself, he asked: "May I ask, Teacher, what realm are you in?"

  "Sage's Boundary"

  "May I ask the teacher again, what is a sage?"

  "The sage's body is the supreme mixed yuan realm, his body is in harmony with heaven and earth, his magical power is boundless, his Tao is limitless, he coexists with the world for a long time, and it is difficult to perish. As soon as Hong Jun's words came out, the great gods present were extremely surprised, this sage was so accomplished, and for a while everyone's heart became eager."

  "Excuse me, teacher, how can one become a saint?" This was asked by Taiyi. Taiyi and Emperor Jun were both transformed from the three-legged golden crow, but Taiyi was different from Emperor Jun. He was focused on cultivation and his thoughts were relatively simple. He was extremely eager about cultivation matters. Moreover, he now knew that the founder of Taoism was the one who had fought against Luohou back then. At present, Taiyi himself did not possess the divine power of the founder of Taoism back then. Now that the founder of Taoism spoke of the realm of saints, it must be that the founder of Taoism had made further progress. Taiyi very much wanted to understand this method of becoming a saint.

  "It's not the right time, saying more is useless." Hong Jun refused to answer with eight words, and Tai Yi didn't dare ask again. However, each of the great divine cultivators had different thoughts, but in fact, most of them were thinking about Sheng Ren's question and forgot to ask.

  Hong Jun swept his gaze around and said, "I, the poor Taoist, will teach and transform the vast expanse of the universe. I should take in some disciples to pass on my teachings and glorify the Mystic Gate." Many powerful beings heard this and couldn't help but hope that they would be taken in by Hong Jun, who was now the greatest backer in the vast expanse of the universe. One by one, their eager gazes met Hong Jun's sweeping gaze, hoping to be accepted as his disciple.

  Hongjun's gaze finally fell on Sanqing "Pangu Sanqing, with great merit and virtue, profound in morality, brilliant in achievements, I wonder if you would be willing to surrender under me?"

  Hong Jun spoke, and the three Qing showed a joyful expression. Even Lao Zi had a smile on his face. He stood up and bowed down, saying in unison: "Disciples Lao Zi (Yuanshi Tianzun) pay respects to Master, wishing Master eternal longevity."

  The Taoist ancestor immediately fixed his eyes on three disciples, and the crowd looked at the Three Purities with envy, jealousy, and hatred, hoping that the Taoist ancestor would take a liking to themselves. Hongjun's gaze fell on the sixth seat, where Nüwa was sitting. He said: "Nüwa has great luck, she should also enter my sect."

  Nüwa heard Daozu mention her own name, and for a moment she was overjoyed, the grievances of competing for seats also came up together, and she was somewhat moved, bowing down to pay respects, wishing the teacher a long and sacred life.

  Four disciples have been chosen, Hong Jun is not saying much, the crowd is also paying attention, and it's unknown who else Hong Jun will accept. Kun Peng, because of his poor seating arrangement, has embarrassed Nüwa and Emperor Jun, knowing his own awkward situation, seeing an opportunity, he quickly got up and bowed down "Teacher above, disciple Kun Peng is willing to inherit the great teachings for the teacher, asking the teacher to accept the disciple."

  Kunpeng took the initiative to ask, and the various great gods may have despised Kunpeng in their hearts, but they all knelt down and begged Hongjun to accept them.

  "You and I have no master-disciple relationship." Hong Jun spoke, and the crowd of powerful beings didn't dare to speak further. The Dao Ancestor paused for a moment, "However, this humble one observes that the two Dao friends have great willpower and great opportunities. Are you willing to become my nominal disciples?"

  As soon as he saw himself, he also stood up with Zhun Ti and bowed down to pay his respects, thus becoming a nominal disciple. Hong Jun made the disciples settle down, then spoke out: "The matter here is settled, three thousand years later the Purple Mist Palace will open again, you all should carefully comprehend the Heavenly Way."

  Everyone suddenly understood that this seat was actually prepared by the Taoist ancestor for his own disciples. If they had known earlier, how could they have let it go? How could they have let it go themselves?

  Emperor Jun's mind was not on this, from the beginning he was extremely uneasy in his heart, Hongjun was absolutely unable to catch up, now Hongjun had also accepted a disciple, if Hongjun wanted to take over the Primordial Chaos, what would happen to himself, the demon emperor? Thinking of this, Emperor Jun thought of speaking out to probe.

  "Master, I have something to ask. Although the vast land of Honghuang is relatively peaceful as a whole, conflicts are constant and there are endless killings every day. I humbly request that Master use his great power to stop the killings."

  Jie Yin listened to Emperor Jun's words on the side and couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Emperor Jun was actually trying to steal his own Demon Emperor from Dao Zu. Let's see how Dao Zu would make his move.

  "I, the poor Taoist, am spreading the heavenly way to enlighten all living beings. As for some killings and battles, they are just natural phenomena of the universe's operation. I won't intervene in these matters. However, Heaven has a benevolent virtue, so I plan to choose two fellow Taoists from among you to govern the Vast Expanse and bring blessings to all creatures."

  Di Jun heard Dao Zu's words and was extremely excited in his heart. Hong Jun didn't care about the killing, which meant that his own authority as the Demon Emperor would not be undermined by Dao Zu. And then he heard that two people were to be selected to manage the Primordial Chaos, wasn't it himself and Tai Yi?

  "Thank you, Daozu." Emperor Jun was extremely excited as he waited for Daozu's appointment.

  "Eastern King Gong, Western Queen Mu, the two Taoist friends have arrived." Hong Jun spoke up, looking for Eastern King Gong and Western Queen Mu. Emperor Jun was momentarily at a loss for words to describe his feelings, as if a burning fire had turned into icy coolness, almost losing control of his emotions. Eastern King Gong and Western Queen Mu hastily knelt down at Hong Jun's feet.

  "You were born with the innate yin and yang energy, and your body has a great auspicious aura. I, the poor Taoist, bestow upon you today the Dragon Head Staff and the Purifying Water Bowl, two precious treasures. May you use them well and bring blessings to the vast wilderness." With that, Hong Jun raised his hand, and from his sleeve flew out the two treasures, landing in the hands of the two Daoists.

  Hongjun finished speaking and the baby disappeared. The clear voice of a young boy came: "The lecture is over, please leave Zixiao Palace quickly." The crowd of powerful people got up and left, with extremely complicated feelings in their hearts. Except for some onlookers, the most uncomfortable person was Emperor Jun. He had no seat, no disciples, and his own share was gone. After all his hard work, he had helped East King Gong instead. The extreme frustration was enough to drive Emperor Jun mad.

  Dong Wang Gong was furious, holding the dragon-headed cane and glared at Emperor Jun before standing up with Lei Ze Da Shen and returning to the East Sea. San Qing, Nü Wa, and Fu Xi also left one after another, while Kun Peng rushed back to his old nest, afraid of being seen by Emperor Jun.

  The mood of the guide is not bad, originally the two Western saints were calculated by Hong Jun on the seat, owing the cause and effect to Red Cloud. Now the guide has thoroughly messed up the cause and effect, burying the seeds of struggle, waiting for the opportunity to kill these great gods and enjoy the holy position.

  Just as the Queen Mother of the West was about to leave the Purple Heaven Palace, she was blocked by Emperor Jun and Taiyi.

  Jie Ying still smiled and first paid his respects, "Junior Daoist has met with Emperor Yao and Dong Huang, the two of you must have some instructions for Junior Daoist, I will listen respectfully."

  "Hmph, stop pretending to be innocent. You've taken our seats, don't you have anything to say?" Tai Yi said with a sarcastic tone.

  "It's unjust, I'll let the Daozu decide, in my opinion both of you are leaders of the demon tribe, the Daozu will surely choose one of you, who knew it would be like this, however, the Demon Emperor can't wrong a good person." The guide's face didn't redden, his heart didn't skip a beat as he faced off against Di Jun.

  "You're a real person who doesn't speak falsely, yet you wag your tongue and stir up discord among our demon clan. What's your true intention?"

  Zhun Ti listened to Tai Yi's words on the side, feeling that these two did not take their elder brother, the master of Xī Mì in the west, seriously. He spoke out and said: "Emperor Jun Tai Yi, you are so shameless! As a ruler of a clan, you can't even manage your own subordinates, yet you come to question us instead? Are we supposed to be easy targets for bullying?"

  Di Jun was already angry, and this time he intercepted Zhunti and Jieyin just to find fault with the two of them. Kunpeng ran too fast, so Jieyin sat in those two positions, which made Di Jun feel embarrassed, but it was also acceptable for him. As for Zhunti, his Taoist skills had advanced greatly, and he was also a famous disciple of the founder of Taoism, so he wasn't afraid of Di Jun or Taiyi either.

  "Alright, you can't be compared to the previous one, you are just a nominal disciple of the ancestral district, don't think you're anything special." Emperor Jun took out the Hetu and Luoshu, wanting to take action, while Taiyi also took out the Donghuang Bell, watching with a fierce gaze.

  "Two fellow Taoists may have heard this sentence, 'to repel the external must first stabilize the internal', you still have energy to see how to deal with the internal affairs of the demon tribe." The guide sneered on the side "You want to make a move again, anytime welcome." As soon as the guide spoke out, Emperor Jun woke up a lot, the high-level demon tribe was completely messed up this time, Emperor Jun had offended both Kunpeng and Nuwa and Fuxi, these were all big troubles. Moreover, the Eastern King's ancestor was favored by the Taoist founder, in charge of the group of immortals, and became an external threat. At this moment, Emperor Jun really shouldn't be conflicting with the guide again.

  Di Jun understood all this and said fiercely, "We brothers will go to Mount Sumeru to ask for advice in the future." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

  The four people who were supposed to meet at Mount Mi did not show up, and only Emperor Jun and Taiyi returned to the Sun Star. Thinking of the internal and external troubles they faced, they were deeply worried and sought a solution. Emperor Jun was also a wise person, so he took out a calabaza that he had obtained earlier and used it with Taiyi to continuously refine the true fire of the sun for three hundred years. After coming out of seclusion, Emperor Jun issued a holy decree, ordering all demons, immortals, and cultivators above a certain level to gather at the Sun Star, as he had an important announcement to make.

  First chapter is out, another one tonight, resuming updates, won't enter the palace, thanks for everyone's concern, happy new year to all.
