Chapter 26: The Black Turtle of the North Sea
But Emperor Jun's Taiyi gathered the elite of the demon clan from all over the world and arrived at the Sun Star, numbering in the tens of millions. It was indeed the largest force in the vast wilderness, but two high-ranking officials of the demon clan did not come. One was Kunpeng hiding in Beiming, and the other was Nüwa.
The consequences of the dispute within the Purple Palace are now apparent, Kunpeng, the third-ranking figure in the demon tribe, has completely faded out of the decision-making layer of the demon tribe. Nüwa, relying on her identity as the direct disciple of the Taoist ancestor, is no longer afraid of Emperor Jun and Taiyi. However, Nüwa is still alone and weak after all, Fuxi is still in the Sun Star, and does not dare to offend Donghuang, the Demon Emperor, to death.
In the grand hall, Emperor Jun and Fuxi Haichao Laozu were chatting happily, as if nothing had happened before. However, what each of them was thinking in their heart was known only to themselves.
As the guests had almost all arrived, Emperor Jun stood up and said: "I think that since our demon tribe was established, its momentum has been growing stronger day by day. Under everyone's efforts, our demon tribe will surely become even more powerful. However, in the past three hundred years, I've heard that some of our demon cultivators have abandoned their own brothers and joined the Eastern King Gong, becoming a party of scattered immortals. It's truly regrettable. For this reason, the Eastern Emperor and I have thought of a good method, a way to make our demon tribe forever strong and united."
Indeed, as Emperor Jun said, many cultivators who saw Hongyuan support the Eastern King and Western Queen in charge of the vast wilderness had a change of heart, abandoned their demonic tribe and defected to the Eastern King's camp. However, the Eastern King was arrogant and did not know how to manage, and his old friend, Lei Ze, loved to beat and scold his subordinates, so some of the more senior cultivators were not very obedient, and very few went.
After Emperor Jun finished speaking, he looked at the crowd of demons inside and outside the main hall, waved his hand, and a small flag appeared in his hand. On the flag were three big characters "Recruiting Demon Flag". When these demon cultivators saw this, their primordial spirit had a subtle urge to jump, and they were shocked, not knowing what kind of treasure it was.
Di Jun smiled slightly, "This is a pre-heavenly calabaza I've collected, with infinite uses. I refined it using the true fire of the sun and created this demon-attracting banner. This banner has infinite uses, from now on, our demonic cultivators only need to attach a strand of their divine soul to it, and they will never have to worry about falling again. This treasure will also exert its infinite power, comparable to that of a supreme treasure."
Who doesn't understand Emperor Jun's words? He said that placing one's yuan Shen on it is to prevent falling, but this banner is in Emperor Jun's hands. With just a thought from him, it will be reduced to ashes. Moreover, cultivators value their yuan Shen the most, who would be willing to split their own yuan Shen? All the elites of the demon race are clever and wise, and for a moment, they were weighing the pros and cons.
Taiyi stepped forward, striking the Donghuang Bell with a light tap, and although it wasn't very forceful, to the cultivators present, the sound was no less than thunder.
"We brothers are absolutely for the good of all, and we guarantee that as long as no harm is done to the demon clan, my brother will not hurt your primordial spirits. However, if someone has ill intentions towards the demon clan, I won't hesitate to turn him into ashes right now, no need to even take his primordial spirit." Taiyi's words were full of overbearing arrogance.
For most masters, they do not have the qualifications to compete with Emperor Jun, and it is actually beneficial to hand over a thread of yuan Shen, which can avoid being destroyed in shape and spirit during the struggle. The ones who are truly threatened are Fuxi, Nüwa, Kunpeng, Haitao and other powerful beings who can contend with Emperor Jun. Therefore, Emperor Jun's purpose is also to intimidate these people and stabilize the demon clan, so that he can thoroughly control everything of the demon clan.
Haitao Laozu is a clever person, thinking about it makes sense. After careful consideration of his own solitary and isolated situation, he cannot compete with Emperor Jun, so he proactively separates a strand of his primordial spirit and hands it over to Emperor Jun.
"The Demon Emperor's profound plans and considerations for our demon tribe are truly admirable. I, Xiaodao, am willing to offer up my primordial spirit."
Di Jun hurriedly bowed his head and thanked Hai Chao, putting a strand of Hai Chao's yuan Shen into the demon-summoning banner. As Fuxi was Nüwa's older brother, he had always been dissatisfied with Di Jun Taiyi, but he didn't dare offend them. Nüwa, as the daughter of the Daozu and a mere woman, made it difficult for Di Jun to be too harsh on her, but he wouldn't go easy on himself either. Moreover, even Nüwa's so-called direct disciples hadn't had a single conversation with their teacher alone, who knew if this teacher was reliable or not?
Fuxi was in an awkward situation, so this time Emperor Jun summoned the monster, he had to come forward. He didn't expect that Emperor Jun would actually refine the summoning flag, and once his primordial spirit entered it, he would probably be controlled by Emperor Jun and become his slave. However, he couldn't think of a way to refuse.
Haitang Laozu handed over his primordial spirit, and Fuxi became even more restless. Taiyi was staring at him with a fierce gaze, and he was afraid that if he didn't agree, Taiyi would summon him with the Donghuang Bell. Seeing that the situation was not in his favor, Fuxi also obediently handed over his primordial spirit.
They took the lead, and soon Di Jun collected all the yuan gods of the demons present. The demon flag was originally made from the heavenly calabaza vine, with infinite mystery. Under the circumstances where Di Jun and Taiyi did not spare the sun's origin, it became a rare treasure. With so many demonic yuan gods nourishing it, it could reach the level of an extreme pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, already taking shape and becoming the key to commanding the demons in the future.
The primordial spirits of these demonic cultivators were just a primer, only beginning to reveal the wonders of this treasure. Emperor Jun was overjoyed at this time and raised the Demon- Summoning Banner, preparing to massively harvest the primordial spirits of all the demons in the world. The small Demon-Summoning Banner transformed into a gigantic banner that reached heights of ten thousand meters, flying up onto the Sun Star. For a moment, all the demons in the world, regardless of their realm, felt a thread of their primordial spirit leaking out and flying to the outer heavens.
Innumerable yuan gods merged into the Demon Attracting Flag, and for a time, the black light of the flag surged greatly, reaching a size of tens of millions of feet, quietly approaching the Treasure Realm.
At this time, on the North Sea, I am picking up and flying leisurely on the North Sea, enjoying the scenery.
Jie Yin brought Zhunti back to Mount Xumi, all the way Zhunti complained that Jie Yin was too weak and deceived, why not teach those two beasts a lesson. Jie Yin wasn't really weak, first, the Dao hadn't merged yet, Jie Yin didn't want to expose too much, secondly, he wanted to make Emperor Jun suffer more than death, but it couldn't be done yet.
Some words are not good to say, and it's better to have a plan. The guide thought about it secretly and found that he still lacked a mount. There were many strange beasts in the vast wilderness, but few could be used as mounts for saints, such as Laozi's green cow or Tongtian's kuiniu, which were not good mounts anyway. The guide then thought of the Xuanwu turtle, and also wanted to take the opportunity to find the demon master Kunpeng and plot against Emperor Jun.
He had been traveling along the road, not in a hurry, when he suddenly saw an unusual change on the Sun Star. Using the Great Way of Cause and Effect to calculate it, he knew that this was a rare opportunity. He didn't look for the Black Turtle anymore, but instead rushed straight to the nest of Kunpeng.
Kunpeng took the cave mansion and refined it into a treasure, named You Shi Gong, and pressed it under the North Sea. He led the way to see that there was no one guarding the gate outside You Shi Gong, so he waved his hand with a clear bamboo to open the forbidden area of You Shi Gong, and entered the palace. You Shi Gong is not too big, and the layout is extremely simple. Except for Kunpeng, there is no one else.
At this time, the demon master was using his great magical power to resist the attraction of the demon flag from the sun star on the couch, preserving his own primordial spirit. His face was covered with sweat as big as beans, looking extremely exhausted.
Di Jun refined the Demon-Subduing Banner, which was born to restrain all demons in the world. At the critical moment when he was about to absorb countless primordial spirits and transform into a treasure, Kun Peng, as a demon master, was also affected by the heavenly numbers. His primordial spirit was about to fly away, so he hurriedly used his magical powers to suppress it. However, the more magical power Kun Peng used, the stronger the other party's suction force became. Kun Peng was in agony, but in fact, he made a mistake at this time. He was resisting this suction force with brute force, which was equivalent to competing with all demons in the world. As a result, even Kun Peng's cultivation was not enough. Fortunately, this force did not completely fall on Kun Peng; otherwise, his primordial spirit would have left his body long ago.
It was like this that Kunpeng also couldn't hold on, and the guide saw the situation and had a plan, taking out the twelve-product merit golden lotus to protect Kunpeng's head.
"Brother Dao, I didn't expect you'd end up like this." Jie Yin looked at Kun Peng with a smile full of meaning.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior fellow practitioner. However, I implore you not to mock me anymore. Who would have thought that Emperor Jun's methods are so ruthless? He wants all the demons in the world to become his slaves! If this evil treasure is born, what chance of survival will other demon clans have?" Kun Peng's expression turned gloomy. The guide couldn't help but think that although Kun Peng was clearly worried about his own safety, he spoke with righteous words and a stern tone, which was quite impressive.
"Brother Kunpeng, at this juncture of life and death, are you willing to believe me?"
"Please lead the way, friend, and speak clearly. If you can save my life, I, Kunpeng, will surely repay you heavily in the future."
He took out a red lotus seed and smiled: "Everything is on this object."
After leaving the palace of the demon master, he searched for dozens of years on the North Sea and finally found a turtle with a size of over 10 million miles, its body shape was similar to that of a small island in the vast wilderness, floating on the North Sea.
Friends, show some support! There's another chapter coming up soon, new year, new atmosphere, haha.
