Chapter 67 Reactions from All Sides, the Demon Clan's Xi Huang

Hongyun comprehended the primordial purple energy, attained sainthood, and descended to the East Sea to establish a Buddhist land.

The battle between the liches ended abruptly.

The once turbulent land has fallen into an eerie calm.

Both the demon race and the witch race selectively forgot about the previous battle and silently gathered their people together.

heaven.

Emperor Jun and Emperor Taiyi sat in their seats, looking down at the countless demons below, their faces grim.

"Brother, now that Buddhism has been established, how should we face that ancestral Buddha?"

Donghuang Taiyi's tone was filled with worry.

Previously, their demon race had made quite a show of their presence in the prehistoric world in search of the Primordial Purple Qi on Hongyun's body.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, I offended that Buddha.

Even if that person was kind-hearted before becoming a saint, they couldn't possibly pretend nothing had happened when faced with such a life-or-death situation.

Moreover, they were both very clear about the cause and effect between the Demon Master and that Ancestral Buddha.

Since the Buddha's descent into the world, Kunpeng, who harbored resentment towards Emperor Jun, has disappeared without a trace.

This left Di Jun, who had originally planned to take Kunpeng to the East Sea, extremely disappointed.

Di Jun pondered for a long time, but faced with a sage, he felt utterly powerless.

Although they had not witnessed the battle between the two Dao Ancestors in the chaos.

But the overwhelming power of that battle was something that even quasi-saints like them couldn't withstand.

Facing an immortal saint, Di Jun finally said in a deep voice, "My demon race still has one path!"

After saying that, he looked toward Mount Buzhou.

"The divinely ordained sage, Nuwa!"

······

While Di Jun was plotting against Nuwa.

Inside the Ancestral Temple of the Witch Clan, the twelve Ancestral Witches also wore somber expressions.

After several discussions, they decided to mobilize the entire clan to expand towards the East China Sea.

Completely conquer the ancient Eastern world.

The surging witch tribe marched forward with all its might.

Under the gaze of all the sacred beings in the primordial world, they recklessly expanded their territory.

It possessed the aura of unifying the primordial world, almost causing the demon race to go to war with the witch race again.

Unlike them, the demon race expanded towards the northern world of the primordial wilderness.

The Lich and Lycan races launched a war in two different directions.

The immense energy of the calamity hidden in the void increased dramatically.

When faced with the protagonist of the Great Calamity, they all avoided him.

Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Pure Ones sat silently in the main hall.

The fact that Hongyun became a saint had a huge impact on them.

As the true descendant of Pangu, we inherit Pangu's legacy and have a profound lineage.

I never expected to be surpassed by someone else, someone who was never taken seriously by his three brothers.

This kind of thing is like a knife to the heart.

Finally, Shangqing Tongtian couldn't help but speak up, "With a sage emerging, where is our chance to attain enlightenment?"

Yuqing Yuanshi's face was gloomy. He tried to speak several times, but in the end, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

Only the Taoist Taiqing remained calm, his tone even, saying, "The time is not yet ripe; there is no need to worry."

"We are destined saints, and we will attain sainthood sooner or later; but is this the kind of sainthood you desire?"

After speaking, she quietly looked at her two younger brothers.

Yuan Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What do you mean, elder brother?"

Tongtian also looked puzzled.

The Taoist Taiqing observed the flow of Yin and Yang forces and set up a Yin-Yang array to seal off the Sanqing Hall.

Then he slowly spoke, "Under the Heavenly Dao, the sages entrust their primordial spirit to the Primordial Heavenly Dao, thus becoming immortal and indestructible."

"To coexist with heaven and earth, and to be revered by all spirits."

"We are blessed by the Father God and should do our duty to ensure the smooth functioning of the universe."

"One's destiny can be suppressed by outsiders, and one will eventually be forced to merge with heaven and earth, be bound by heaven and earth, and be supervised by the Dao of Heaven."

"Having lost our freedom, we are utterly without ease; the vast天地 (heaven and earth) are like a cage, imprisoning us here. Is this the kind of saint we truly desire?"

After these words, Yuanshi fell silent, and Tongtian remained silent.

"In the primordial world, there were nine divinely ordained saintly positions. That Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, leaving eight saintly positions. Of the six saintly positions, the three of us brothers occupy three."

"My third brother possesses the Four Swords of Zhuxian, which cannot be broken by any but the Four Saints. We, the Three Pure Ones, are one, and my third brother is already invincible."

"How could such a thing be allowed?"

Taiqing continued, "Even if we become saints, we will still face a great calamity~~~"

Yuanshi and Tongtian shuddered, their auras nearly becoming disordered.

"Elder brother, how should we conduct ourselves..."

"Yuanshi said in a deep voice."

After a moment of silence, the Taoist Taiqing said, "I have observed that the Ancestral Buddha has attained sainthood and has already made some guesses about it, but the time is not yet right."

"When the time comes, we can become saints in an instant; since that person wants us to become saints, let us comply with him for now."

"Our destiny is suppressed, so we will use the primordial destiny of all living beings to break free of these shackles!"

"Let's take on apprentices...find a suitable time..."

Buzhou Mountain.

Fuxi looked at his younger sister sitting motionless in the cave with a calm expression. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Little sister, Dijun has been waiting outside for three thousand years."

"If he wants to wait, then let him wait."

"As the main protagonist of this great calamity, the demon race will eventually withdraw from the prehistoric continent, just like the three races."

"Those who participate in their struggle, even if they achieve sainthood, will be punished by Heaven due to karmic entanglements."

Nuwa slowly opened her eyes, and the energy of creation flowed into her beautiful eyes.

Upon hearing this, Fuxi said, "First, the Wu tribe became powerful and slaughtered the demon tribe, and now the Ancestral Buddha has become a saint; Emperor Jun is in a hurry."

"Offending a sage, and being entangled by endless karmic forces; Emperor Jun, holding the Hetu and Luoshu, may have already seen through the secrets of heaven."

"What we are doing now is simply following the will of Heaven."

Nuwa frowned slightly, and after a long while, she slowly spoke, "Elder brother, the situation in the primordial world is ever-changing. Although I am a destined saint, once I become a saint, I will be bound by the Heavenly Dao. You and I have special identities, and under the targeting of the Heavenly Dao, it may be difficult for us to protect ourselves."

Fuxi remained calm, saying, "As long as you, little sister, can transcend this, you can come back to guide me then."

"Since Dijun wants to find his little sister as a backer, I, as her brother, will go and scout the way for her first."

With that, he turned and walked outside.

At this moment, Di Jun stood outside, his expression calm and without the slightest anxiety.

Upon seeing Fuxi emerge, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face. "I wonder how Nuwa is?"

Fuxi shook his head. "My little sister is single-mindedly focused on attaining enlightenment and has no interest in anything else; please ask me to thank the Demon Emperor on her behalf."

Di Jun was not disappointed. "Indeed, the descent of the Buddha of the East Sea signifies the beginning of a great trend. As a divinely ordained saint, one should aim to become a saint."

"How is His Excellency Fuxi?"

He looked at Fuxi with expectant eyes.

Fuxi remained silent for a moment, and a large array appeared in his palm.

The grand formation was mysterious and complex, with starlight twinkling, faintly connecting to the primordial starry sky.

"After observing the primordial starry sky, I comprehended a formation called the Zhou Tian Star Array, which can enhance the foundation of the Heavenly Court."

Di Jun's eyes narrowed, and his expression changed slightly.

"What a great formation!"

"Our Heavenly Court gains another emperor, the Heavenly Emperor Xi!"

Meanwhile, in the Western world...

Cracks covered the bodies of Jieyin and Zhunti, and their entire bodies were about to dissipate, showing a faint sign that they were about to turn into nothingness.

This is a sign that the Dao has been stripped away, its foundation has been destroyed, and it is about to dissipate into the world.

In other words, Jieyin and Zhunti are about to die.

At the critical moment, an exasperated voice appeared on Mount Sumeru.

"Two good-for-nothings!"

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light appeared and merged into their bodies, reshaping their physical forms.

Jieyin and Zhunti slowly awoke from their near-death, dying state.

He stared blankly eastward, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Where is the Way...?"
