With a smile, Guan Kong helped Jiao Yue up and said, "You little rascal, have you learned your lesson this time?"
Jiaoyue pouted and retorted, "Senior Sister, this time it's not my fault!"
Next, she recounted the whole story.
It turned out that after visiting Guan Kong, she was about to travel in the prehistoric world for some time. However, she had not flown far when she sensed a glimmer of opportunity and followed that sense to a mountain.
As a result, they collected a Moonlight Pearl in the mountains.
This pearl was formed from the essence of moonlight absorbed by a river clam over millions of years. Although it is not a primordial spiritual treasure, it contains the essence of the moon and can be used not only to refine spiritual treasures but also to make pills. It can even directly increase one's magical power after being ingested.
However, just as she was retrieving the treasure, the snake-tailed demon king also found her by a faint sense of her presence, and as expected, things turned out this way...
Guan Kong shook her head after hearing what had happened. It was just for a Moonlight Pearl; she had thought it was for a Primordial Spiritual Treasure.
However, she did not say these words aloud. She only told Jiaoyue to be more careful in the future and not to start killing unless absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, if too much bloodshed is accumulated, even the seventh-grade Pure White Lotus she sent out wouldn't be able to suppress the malevolent energy, and that would be a huge problem.
Jiaoyue nodded solemnly in agreement; of course she knew what was good and bad...
Guan Kongjian seemed to have taken it to heart and didn't say anything more.
After all, she was just the senior sister, not the teacher himself, so she shouldn't say too much, lest Jiaoyue get annoyed and ruin their friendship.
She looked up at the sky, where a copper bell was hanging in mid-air, emitting a faint glow.
She raised her hand and took the Soul-Snatching Bell into her palm, then wiped away the primordial spirit imprint inside the treasure. She then handed the red gourd and the Soul-Snatching Bell to the Red Jade Boy and the Bright Moon, respectively.
"These two magical treasures are quite mysterious; you two can take them and play with them."
The two women did not refuse; after thanking them, they readily accepted the treasure.
"If there's nothing else, you two should go back to Heaven. I also need to go back and continue my cultivation."
Guan Kong gave the two a few words of advice, then beckoned a cloud and rode away.
Jiaoyue and Hongyu Tongzi watched Guankong's figure disappear into the horizon before putting away their magical treasures and flying together towards Buzhou Mountain...
On this day, the two finally returned to the Heavenly Court and went to Yaochi to pay their respects to Hu Le.
After returning the bamboo staff, the Jade Boy left the main hall.
Hu Le didn't say much to Jiao Yue, only telling her to be more careful in the future.
Next, he taught her some Taoist magic and supernatural powers, and then ordered her to go down and cultivate on her own.
After all, what Jiaoyue encountered was nothing out of the ordinary in the primordial world; he himself had experienced something similar in the past...
After the moon set, Hu Le re-entered the Cosmic Light Diagram and began to comprehend and cultivate the Great Dao of Space...
In the blink of an eye, several hundred years have passed. Nothing major has happened in the primordial world, and the great supernatural beings have not made any significant moves, seemingly waiting for the second sermon to begin.
On this day, outside Phoenix Perch Mountain, Di Jun transformed into a rainbow light and landed. Without waiting for an announcement, he was welcomed into the mountain by a female immortal.
Then, he met Fuxi and his sister in the Nuwa Palace.
At this time, Nuwa had already stabilized the Earthly Sovereign Dao Fruit and was in a very good mood. When she saw Di Jun arrive, she greeted him with a smile.
Di Jun first presented gifts to congratulate Nuwa on achieving the Dao Fruit of the Earthly Sovereign.
After exchanging a few more polite words, he finally revealed the purpose of his visit.
It turns out that Di Jun actually wanted to hold a conference of the innate gods and came to invite the two of them to support him.
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled. Since the fall of Taiyi and his wife, the Primordial God Clan had been leaderless and had long since stopped holding such grand gatherings.
Fuxi frowned and asked, "Why does Fellow Daoist need to convene this grand meeting?"
Di Jun shook his head and smiled, "Since the fall of His Majesty Taiyi, the position of Emperor of our God Clan has been vacant for a long time. Now that the Xuanmen is coming on strong, it is time for someone to step forward to take this position and lead the God Clan to fight against the Xuanmen."
The brother and sister exchanged another glance, and they immediately understood what the man was thinking.
No matter how eloquently he speaks, all he wants is to use this to ascend the throne of the Emperor.
They all shook their heads inwardly. Although Di Jun had great ambitions and his reputation and strength among the gods were not bad, he could not overpower the gods like Emperor Taiyi and was respected by almost all the gods.
If any innate deity lacks his own pride, how could he possibly submit to Di Jun? After all, he was repeatedly defeated by Hu Le of the Heavenly Court in the past. He couldn't even subdue the Heavenly Court, yet he still wanted to become the Heavenly Emperor. He must be dreaming.
"Fellow Daoist, could it be that you have designs on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?" Fuxi asked directly.
Di Jun was not a hypocrite, so he nodded with a smile: "I am indeed interested in this, and I hope that you two can give me some support."
Fuxi did not refuse, but said with a smile, "Although my brother and I have some reputation among the gods, if you want to ascend to this position, the support of my brother and I alone is far from enough!"
“Hehe… Fellow Daoist Fuxi is too modest. Before you two, I also persuaded a highly respected senior to support me. Why don’t you two guess who this person is?” Di Jun smiled and kept them in suspense.
Fuxi pondered for a moment. There were really very few people in the entire Primordial God Clan who could be considered highly respected.
That is, only a handful of people, including Hongjun Daoren and the Three Pure Ones.
However, these individuals had all broken away from the Primordial God Clan and opened up their own Xuanmen Path, so naturally they would no longer get involved in the affairs of the God Clan.
The rest is easy to guess...
"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps referring to Elder Zhulong?!" Fuxi asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha... No wonder everyone says that Fellow Daoist is wise beyond compare. Indeed, it is that old man."
Fuxi and Nuwa exchanged a glance, both showing some curiosity.
Zhulong was the most senior among the gods and had a great reputation. He was known for his kindness in mentoring younger generations.
Even before Fuxi and Nuwa attained enlightenment, they had received guidance from the old Zhulong.
If he can really stand up and support Dijun, Dijun might actually have some opportunities.
However, since the Heavenly Emperor's lineage is within the Heavenly Court, Di Jun's actions might offend that person. If the other party intervenes and interferes, Di Jun will likely still find it difficult to succeed.
After all, he was the direct descendant of Taiyi, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, the master of the Chaos Bell, and had achieved the position of Human Emperor.
Although Di Jun can be considered a senior, he is clearly inferior in comparison.
Moreover, I doubt that person would simply stand by and watch the throne be lost from their lineage.
Therefore, Fuxi spoke directly: "Even if you, fellow Daoist, persuaded Elder Zhulong, what if that fellow Daoist did not agree..."
He pointed towards the Heavenly Court, then shook his head and continued, "Fellow Daoist, your good fortune is unlikely to come to pass..."
