Chapter 129 Seven Mountains
"Master, do you have any plans regarding the defection of Jieyin and Zhunti from the sect?" Tongtian felt the Qingping Sword in his hand stirring with desire, wishing he could personally kill these treacherous disciples who betrayed their master and ancestors.
"I had long anticipated the matter of Jieyin and Zhunti. The Buddha is the Tao, so there's no need to concern ourselves with them. Let them do what they want." Hongjun knew the reasons behind this. The operation of fortune and the Heavenly Dao would give him the most direct feedback. In any case, his fortune was rising rather than falling.
“Buddha is the Tao,” Lao Tzu said, frowning in thought. After a moment, he slowly smiled. “Thank you, Master, for your guidance.”
Hongjun smiled meaningfully. He was the Dao Ancestor, and everything learned in the prehistoric world was the Daoist tradition he had passed down. No matter how it changed, it was all the same thing, just a different name for the same thing.
It's not that Hongjun looked down on Zhunti and Jieyin; they simply lacked the necessary understanding. Although their perseverance was commendable, they found it difficult to escape the circle he had drawn.
"The Demon Court has thirty-three heavens, and the Three Pure Heavens are prepared for you by the Heavenly Dao. You may build your respective palaces there."
"Or perhaps you could learn from your teacher and create one in the Chaos Realm as a place of tranquility." Hongjun's gaze fell upon Tongtian, clearly speaking to him.
Laozi and Yuanshi also turned their heads and glared fiercely at Tongtian.
"Thank you for the reminder, Master. I will consider it." Tongtian also knew how attractive a saint was. There were many people who wanted to become his disciples, whether they were sincere or just wanted to use his name for protection. He thought that after today, there would be a constant stream of people coming to Kunlun Mountain to become his disciples.
"Go back, I suppose you can't stay here any longer." We should call Chang Hao up to discuss this. Now that all the sages of the Primordial World have appeared, the Primordial Purple Qi that he extracted from Luo Hou has also shattered. Tianyan Forty-Nine, no one knows where the body that escaped is. Pangu didn't even give it to the Three Pure Ones, so who can we entrust the last hope of the Primordial World to?
Seeing that Hongjun was still lost in thought, the Three Pure Ones had no choice but to take their leave.
"Second Brother, what kind of riddles were you and Eldest Brother playing? Can you tell me now?" As soon as he returned to Kunlun, Tongtian couldn't wait to ask.
"Do you really want to know? If you do, you'll have to do your part." Yuanshi glanced at Tongtian, who had practically delivered himself to their doorstep.
“Of course, we are brothers. There are things that the eldest brother knows that I cannot know,” Tongtian said matter-of-factly.
"Actually, it's nothing," Yuanshi Lao said calmly. "We're just discussing how to help Chang Hao replenish his primordial spirit. This primordial spirit is different from others, so I'm thinking of using the Qi of Jade Purity to supplement the Qi of Supreme Purity to refine a replenishing primordial spirit pill. Third brother, would you like to contribute?"
Tongtian's face turned ashen. The Three Pure Ones were formed from pure energy, and this was like tearing out their own flesh.
"Second brother, I must have been adopted." Tongtian was completely puzzled as to why his cold-hearted second brother would treat Chang Hao so well. Although he also liked Chang Hao, he was not like his second brother, who seemed unable to live without Chang Hao.
"Enough with the nonsense, I'm not forcing you to give it to me." Yuan Shi snorted, he could do it himself.
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t give it to him, but second brother, are you sure our pure energy can replenish Chang Hao’s primordial spirit? I’ve only ever heard of things that can be replenished by those of the same origin, I’ve never heard of our pure energy working.” Tongtian caught up with him.
Yuan Shi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm only 50% sure."
"Fifty percent? Fifty percent is quite a lot," Tongtian stroked his chin. "What about the other fifty percent?"
"Use the light of the sun, moon, and stars to draw upon the primordial power from the abodes of the various star lords. I will personally take action, and there will be no mishap." This formula, devised by Yuanshi after witnessing Chang Hao's transformation, is the most gentle and appropriate.
"Then you'd better be careful, Second Brother," Tongtian teased. "It would be awkward if Dijun found out."
"The Three Pure Ones Heaven," Yuanshi said succinctly, "I've decided to build a Jade Void Palace there, and of course, I'll build one for you and your elder brother as well."
“Di Jun will hate you to death,” Tongtian said, rubbing his forehead. “The Thirty-Three Heavens are all in Di Jun’s hands. Even when Nuwa became a saint, Di Jun was unwilling to give her one of the heavens. Isn’t it a bit unfair for us to take away three of them directly like this?”
"What's wrong with it?" Yuanshi sneered. "Back then, Dijun plotted against me, almost causing my death and annihilation. I've never settled that score with him."
"Second brother, you've never been one to hold a grudge. Di Jun treated you like this, yet you remained silent. Could it be that you're planning to retaliate against him later?" Tongtian asked incredulously. He always sought revenge on the spot.
Yuan Shi felt a pang of sadness when he thought of the two golden crows. He silently turned and left. It wasn't that he didn't want to take revenge, but he didn't want to put Chang Hao in a difficult position.
Although Chang Hao didn't say it, Yuan Shi could see clearly that Chang Hao treated the two golden crows very well.
This time, however, he doesn't want to kill Di Jun, Tai Yi won't desperately stop him, and Chang Hao will stand by and watch.
Yuanshi went to the Three Pure Ones Heaven without informing anyone, and then went to the various Star Lords' Palaces to extract the power of origin. With the help of the sages, everything was gathered silently, and only the Qi of the Three Pure Ones was needed to complete the elixir.
The Thirty-Three Heavens are divided into six realms. The sixth realm, the Great Luo Heaven, borders the Chaos Realm. To show respect for the Dao Ancestor, Emperor Jun simply left this realm vacant, so that no one but the Dao Ancestor could go there.
The fifth realm is the Three Pure Heavens: Jade Pure Heaven, Supreme Pure Heaven, and Upper Pure Heaven. When Di Jun first saw the names of the Five Realms and Three Heavens, he understood their affiliation, but he pretended not to know. Since the Three Pure Ones did not come, he could not voluntarily give them away.
Looking at the Jade Pure Realm of Qingwei Heaven, the Tai Pure Realm of Dachi Heaven, and the Upper Pure Realm of Yuyu Heaven hanging above the Three Pure Heavens, Di Jun had anticipated this day, but he did not expect it to come so soon.
"Big brother, calm down." Taiyi pressed down on Dijun's shoulder.
Di Jun closed his eyes for a long time before opening them again. "Taiyi, I'm fine, don't worry." He had expected it, but seeing him again still made him feel uneasy.
“Taiyi, the Three Pure Ones are already very powerful. Even before they became saints, we had to give them some respect. Now, my elder brother is just a little tired.” Di Jun was exhausted. As the Demon Emperor of the Primordial World, he had several untouchable Heavenly Venerables above him. He felt very frustrated.
"Brother, you must cheer up. We've already overcome the most difficult times. Governing the prehistoric world is not something that can be done overnight. The Demon Court's current state is all thanks to you. You are our backbone," Taiyi comforted him.
Di Jun smiled bitterly. This was the most difficult time. He had seven mountains weighing on his mind, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them. These days were extremely difficult.
"Taiyi, I need to go into seclusion for a while. You and Fuxi can discuss the affairs of the demon race here." Dijun was full of worries. The demon race must have a trump card so that they can not be at a disadvantage even in a battle with a sage.
In the past, Di Jun had already conceived a rough idea in his mind, but he was always busy with other matters and had been delaying it. Now, however, he could no longer afford to delay.
“Brother, you can go and break through with peace of mind,” Taiyi said without doubt. “I, Fuxi, will handle the matters of the demon race. There will be no chaos.”
"Alright, I'm entrusting everything to you. I promise, after we emerge from seclusion, the demon race will no longer have to be beholden to anyone." Di Jun flicked his sleeves and returned to the Sun Star. With seven mountains looming over his head, even the Dragon and Phoenix were not as miserable as he had been back then.
"Brother," Taiyi said with a heavy heart, "do not be attached to anything. The Three Pure Ones are detached from worldly affairs and will never interfere in the affairs of the prehistoric world."
Di Jun remained silent; he had too many things weighing on his mind, not just matters concerning the Sage.
