Attack the myths of the heavens and create the Taoist Tibetan wilderness!.

He tried to take a step, but felt as if he were carrying the entire primordial world on his back, unable to move an inch.

The Azure Lotus Child's originally calm expression turned to surprise. He clearly felt that the power contained in the halo had exceeded his understanding of the great formation.

Di Jun stood with his hands behind his back, his tone indifferent.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like to try again?"

Luo Hou's expression shifted repeatedly before he finally let out a long sigh.

"It is I who have been living in a well and looking at the sky too narrowly."

He withdrew his demonic energy, and the halo dissipated.

Qinglian Boy couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Where did Fellow Daoist Luo Hou's imposing manner go? I thought I was going to see you display your divine power."

Luo Hou's face flushed slightly, but he didn't bother to refute and asked anxiously.

"Just what level is this Chaos Array? How could it possibly trap a fifth-level Grand Luo Golden Immortal?"

Di Jun gently flicked his sleeve, and chaotic energy flowed through his fingertips.

"The upgraded Chaos Array cannot be broken by anyone who is not at the ninth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, both Rahu and the Green Lotus Boy changed color.

The ninth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm? What a realm that is! Since the beginning of the primordial world, no living being has ever reached such a height.

Luo Hou took a deep breath and looked at Di Jun with a complicated expression.

"How did you manage to do that, fellow Daoist? Even the Dao Ancestor might not be able to set up such a grand formation."

Di Jun's gaze was deep.

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one escapes. This Chaos Array has captured that one that escaped."

He said no more and turned to look towards the East China Sea.

"Now that the Celestial Court has been established, a great calamity is about to begin. Fellow Daoists, you should prepare yourselves well."

Luo Hou, now devoid of his previous arrogance, solemnly cupped his hands in greeting.

"I will return to the Demon Realm to reorganize my troops and await your orders, fellow Daoist."

Having said that, it vanished in a demonic shadow.

Qinglian Boy seemed to be deep in thought.

"It seems that Luo Hou has been completely convinced by you, fellow Daoist."

Di Jun shook his head slightly.

"How could the Demon Ancestor be easily subdued? He was merely intimidated by the great formation and temporarily restrained himself."

He changed the subject.

"It seems that Taiyi has other plans."

The image of the sun star appeared in the water mirror. Taiyi's body was filled with surging true sun fire as he was refining a primordial spiritual treasure.

The magical artifact had a strange shape, resembling neither a bell nor a cauldron, and exuded an eerie aura.

Qinglian Boy frowned.

"This is... a fragment of the Chaos Bell? Taiyi actually wants to reforge the Chaos Bell?"

Di Jun's gaze narrowed slightly.

"The Chaos Bell is a supreme treasure from the creation of the world, and even a fragment is extraordinary. It seems that Taiyi wants to use it to try to gain a glimmer of hope in the great calamity."

At this time, in the Eastern Sea Celestial Court, the Eastern King was receiving the immortals and gods who came to pay homage.

Ao Lie transformed into human form and stood beside him, his dragon eyes sweeping over everyone present as he secretly transmitted his voice.

"Fellow Daoist, can you sense that many of these immortals and gods carry demonic energy?"

The Eastern King Duke remained expressionless and responded with divine thought.

"We already noticed. But the Celestial Court is newly established, and it's not wise to alert them. As for the Dragon Clan, have everything been arranged properly?"

Ao Lie nodded slightly.

"The dragon clan's elite forces have been secretly deployed throughout the East Sea, ready to activate the Ten Thousand Dragons Formation immediately should any changes occur."

He paused.

"Just now I sensed a terrifying fluctuation coming from the direction of Mount Sumeru, as if Fellow Daoist Dijun is practicing some kind of grand formation again."

The Eastern King's eyes flickered slightly.

“Fellow Daoist Di Jun is unfathomable. You and I only need to proceed according to the plan.”

He raised his wine cup and addressed the assembled immortals and gods in a loud voice.

"Today, the Celestial Court stands, and we shall drink this cup together with you all!"

The immortals raised their cups, and for a moment, the celestial light shone brightly, and the sounds of Taoism lingered.

However, beneath this peaceful facade, undercurrents are surging.

The immortals and gods, imbued with demonic energy, exchanged cryptic glances, while some righteous cultivators wore expressions of worry.

Deep within the void, a figure silently observed all of this.

If Di Jun were here, he would surely recognize this as one of the great beings who listened to his teachings in Zixiao Palace back then. The figure murmured to himself.

"The great calamity is approaching, and all sides are making their plans, but little do they know how much more dangerous this calamity will be than the Dragon-Han Great Calamity..."

At this moment, on the Sun Star, Taiyi finally finished refining that spiritual treasure.

The fragment of the Chaos Bell transformed into a small golden bell and landed in his palm, radiating a heart-palpitating aura.

"Di Jun, since you have chosen to ally with the demons, don't blame your brother for finding another path."

Taiyi's gaze was cold.

"Although this Chaos Golden Bell is not even a fraction as good as the Chaos Bell, it is enough to protect me during the great calamity."

He looked up at the primordial land and saw that the aura of a great calamity had begun to spread, the secrets of heaven were in chaos, and countless threads of cause and effect were intertwined, foreshadowing an imminent catastrophe.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm, Rahu returned to the Demon Palace, his face grim. His four demon generals bowed and awaited orders, but dared not ask any questions.

"Pass down the order: all demons are to lie in wait and await further instructions. No one may act without my written order."

"Luo Hou said coldly."

"Also, investigate the origin of Di Jun's Chaos Array."

The four demon generals accepted the order and left.

Rahu sat alone in the Demon Palace, his fingertips caressing a black jade talisman.

"Only a ninth-level Primordial Golden Immortal can break this formation... Di Jun, just how much strength are you still hiding?"

A demonic glint flashed in his eyes, which ultimately turned into a long sigh.

"It seems I should also start preparing soon."

In the heart of Mount Sumeru, the Azure Lotus Child is playing chess with Emperor Jun. The black and white pieces on the chessboard are intertwined, seemingly in harmony with the workings of the Heavenly Dao.

"Taiyi is refining fragments of the Chaos Bell, Luo Hou is secretly investigating the origin of the great formation, and Dong Wanggong and Ao Lie are also making plans early on."

The Green Lotus Boy placed a move.

"Fellow Daoist doesn't seem worried?"

Di Jun gently tapped the chessboard with a white piece.

"The trend is overwhelming and cannot be stopped by one person alone. Let them prepare as they please."

His eyes held a deep, profound light.

"The important question is, when a great calamity occurs, who can truly transcend it?"

Just as the Azure Lotus Boy was about to reply, he suddenly sensed something and looked into the depths of the void.

“There are powerful beings at the Primordial Chaos level watching this place.”

Di Jun smiled calmly.

"It's just some old friends who can't sit still anymore. Let them see what's going on; it'll let these people know that Mount Sumeru is not something they can covet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chaos Array began to operate slightly, an invisible wave rippled out, and several muffled groans came from the depths of the void. The prying divine thoughts immediately dissipated.

"The Green Lotus Boy exclaimed in admiration."

"Fellow Daoist, this great formation is indeed profound. I'm afraid even those below the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal wouldn't have the qualifications to even peek at it."

Di Jun frowned slightly.

"There is a divine thought that can actually bypass the detection of the great formation."

The moment he finished speaking, a beam of azure light fell from the void, transforming into a jade slip that floated in the air.

The jade slip contained no aura, yet it gave off an unfathomable feeling.

Di Jun reached out and took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression changed slightly.

"Qinglian Boy asked curiously."

"Who sent this jade slip?"

Chaotic energy surged in Di Jun's palm, and the jade tablet turned into ashes.

"An old friend. It seems this great calamity is even more dramatic than we imagined."

He rose and walked to the edge of the cliff, gazing at the endless void. "Pass down the order: proceed with all plans ahead of schedule. The Great Tribulation... is about to begin."

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire prehistoric world seemed to tremble.

The secrets of heaven were in complete chaos, and countless powerful beings sensed this and awoke from their seclusion.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered over the Eastern Sea Celestial Court, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Wan Xian looked up at the sky with surprise and uncertainty, only to see a faint blood-red color emerging from the dark clouds.

Dong Wanggong and Ao Lie exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

The Great Tribulation has begun.

Luo Hou and Qinglian Tongzi exchanged a glance, both seeing unbelievable shock in each other's eyes.

Only a ninth-level Primordial Golden Immortal could break this formation. If such a formation were set up around the Demon Realm, even the Dao Ancestor himself would probably find it difficult to break through.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun is truly a man of great hidden talent."

Luo Hou sighed, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.

"With this great formation protecting us, the Demon Realm can be kept safe."

The Azure Lotus Boy clapped his hands and laughed.

"Not only is there no danger, but even if the Dao Ancestor wanted to investigate the true nature of the Demon Realm, he would have to go through some trouble."

He turned to Di Jun.

"With your abilities, fellow Daoist, you're probably not far from reaching the ninth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, are you?"

Di Jun smiled calmly, without answering, but his gaze was directed towards the East China Sea.

"The millennium is approaching, the Celestial Court will be established, and the real show is just beginning."

Strange phenomena have occurred continuously over the East China Sea for thousands of years.

The ethereal music, the emergence of golden lotuses, and the sprinkling of spiritual rain transformed this sea area into the most spiritually potent paradise in the primordial world.

All living beings knew this was a sign that the Celestial Court was about to be established, and they flocked to pay homage, making the shores of the East Sea teeming with people.

On this day, the protective array of Penglai Island suddenly shone brightly, and a giant portal spanning the heavens and earth slowly opened.

Dongwanggong led nine Great Luo Golden Immortals out of the sky, with Ao Lie in human form among them. Behind them was a square formation composed of countless living beings, with banners waving and Daoist energy flowing.

"Today, in the name of the Eastern King Duke, I hereby establish the Celestial Court's lineage!"

The voice of the Eastern King Duke resounded throughout the primordial world, and his pure Yang energy soared into the sky.

"Based on Penglai, it gathers all the spirits of the primordial world and proves the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos!"

The Heavenly Dao responded to his words, and a crack suddenly appeared in the void, revealing a huge eye of the Heavenly Dao.

A cold, ruthless gaze swept over Dong Wanggong, and then a golden light entered his body, indicating approval.

Instantly, the celestial court's fortune condensed into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon, which roared to the sky.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred—countless black wisps surged from the depths of the East Sea, coiled around the golden dragon of fortune, and emitted a piercing hiss.

"It's karma!"

The knowledgeable old monk exclaimed in surprise.

"The karma accumulated by the East Sea Dragon Clan is so profound!"

Ao Lie and the other dragons were pale-faced, their eyes filled with despair.

They knew that this karma originated from the Dragon-Han Great Calamity, and they thought it had dissipated with the passage of time. Unexpectedly, it was triggered by the fortune of the Celestial Court's establishment of the Dao today, and it erupted completely.

The people of the primordial world were in an uproar, and cultivators who originally wanted to join the Celestial Court stopped to watch.

Everyone knows the consequences of being burdened by karma; at best, one's cultivation will be completely destroyed, and at worst, one's soul will be scattered.

If the Celestial Court is corrupted by such karma, all those who have joined will likely be implicated.

"As expected, accepting dragons comes at a price."

A powerful being in the void sneered.

"Does the Eastern King Duke think that establishing a celestial court is child's play?"

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, the Eastern King Duke suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Mere karma is nothing to speak of!"

As soon as he finished speaking, auspicious light suddenly shone brightly in the sky, and a million acres of auspicious clouds of merit gathered, shining with golden light and surrounded by Taoist chants.

This is Heaven's reward for establishing the Celestial Court. Such a massive amount of merit is enough to allow the Eastern King Duke to directly advance to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

To everyone's surprise, the Eastern King Duke waved his hand to block the auspicious clouds of merit, letting them circulate in the air without absorbing them.

"Since I am the master of the Celestial Court, I shall advance and retreat together with the Celestial Court."

The Eastern King Duke's voice was as loud as a bell, and his gaze swept over all living beings below.

"Today, I wish to use the merit of these million acres to offset the karma of the East Sea Dragon Clan, and to prove the Celestial Court's commitment to education for all!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeve, and a million acres of auspicious clouds of merit transformed into a golden torrent, heading straight for the golden dragon of fortune that was entangled by karma.

The golden light collided with the black mist, producing a deafening roar that shook the entire East China Sea.

Ao Lie stared in disbelief, his voice trembling.

"Fellow Daoist, why have you gone to such lengths!"
This merit of a million acres is enough to make you…

The Eastern King Duke waved his hand to interrupt.

"Merit is easy to gain, but faith is hard to find. If we cannot cleanse the dragon clan's karma today, the foundation of the Celestial Court will surely be damaged."

His eyes were firm.

"Since we have sworn to teach without discrimination, we cannot allow any living being who joins the Celestial Court to bear the burden of past sins."

The golden light of merit clashed fiercely with the black aura of karma. In the void, the laws of the Dao shattered and reformed, and countless Dao runes were constantly being destroyed.

All the onlookers held their breath, waiting for the final result.

At this critical moment, Di Jun's voice came from Mount Sumeru.

"Since Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong has such courage, I will lend you a hand."

A wisp of chaotic energy crossed the void and merged into the golden light of merit.

Suddenly, golden light shone brightly, and the karmic black energy retreated steadily, eventually being completely purified.

The golden dragon of fortune broke free from its restraints, roared to the sky, and its size tripled, its body radiating golden light without a trace of impurity.

Amidst the dragon's roar, the celestial court's fortune and the East Sea Dragon Clan's fortune completely merged, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Ao Lie led all the dragons to kneel on the ground.

"The Dragon Clan swears to serve the Celestial Court to the death; if they harbor any disloyalty, may they be punished by Heaven and Earth!"

The countless creatures below were all awestruck by what they saw.

The cultivators who had been observing stepped forward and swore an oath to join the Celestial Court.

The Celestial Court's fortune surged once again, and the golden dragon's size increased several times over, almost covering the entire East Sea.

In the void, some reclusive powerful figures nodded in agreement.

"With what the Eastern King has done today, the Celestial Court will surely prosper."

However, some powerful figures sneered.

"Too idealistic, in the course of countless eons, compassion is often a path to death."

On the Sun Star, Taiyi silently watched all of this, the Chaos Golden Bell in his hand vibrating gently.

"I underestimated this Eastern King Duke. But once the great calamity begins, let's see how many people you can protect."

In the Demon Realm, Rahu clapped his hands and chuckled.

"Interesting, truly interesting. Such a person is certainly worth my serious attention."

Qinglian Boy looked at Dijun.

"Fellow Daoist, weren't you afraid of revealing your strength just now?"

Di Jun said calmly.

“Since we are going to push forward the Great Tribulation, someone has to stand in the open. Since the Eastern King has chosen this path, it is only right that we lend him a helping hand in secret.”

At this time, the Celestial Court was officially established in the East Sea.

The Eastern King Duke appointed Ao Lie as the Dharma Protector Dragon, while the other eight Great Luo Golden Immortals each performed their respective duties.

The arrival of ten thousand immortals was a magnificent spectacle, several times more powerful than a thousand years ago.

However, just as the celebration was in progress, a streak of blood-red light suddenly came from the west and headed straight for the Golden Dragon of Fortune.

The blood-red light contained a terrifying curse, causing the void to shatter and all things to wither wherever it passed.

"Demon curse!"

Those with broad knowledge exclaimed in surprise.

The Eastern King Duke remained expressionless as the Pure Yang Mirror flew out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a beam of golden light that blocked the bloody light.

However, the power of the curse was extremely strange, actually penetrating the defense of the Pure Yang Mirror and continuing to rush towards the Golden Dragon of Fortune.

At this critical moment, Ao Lie let out a long roar, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon, directly shielding the golden dragon of destiny with his own body. (End of Chapter)
