Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 59 Red Cloud's Death Tribulation, Zhang Zhiwei Makes His Move

Hongjun frowned, and the core of the Heavenly Dao shook with him.

"No, this Donghua is too strange. We still need to find a way to suppress it."

He muttered to himself, as if he had thought of something.

"The only way forward now is for our disciples to improve their strength; only then will we have a sliver of hope."

Hongjun spoke, fully aware of the situation.

Unless he takes action himself, no one can stop the arrogance of the Eastern King Duke now.

However, he has already attained the Dao and cannot act arbitrarily; he can only rely on others to do so!

The next moment, the core of the Heavenly Dao began to shake violently.

After a period of time of merging with the Dao, he can now, to a certain extent, represent the Heavenly Dao in doing some things.

For example, granting them access to the Heavenly Dao and providing them with special training would make it easier for them to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and thus accelerate their growth in strength.

That's what he's doing right now.

In the primordial world, the Three Pure Ones and others were cultivating when they suddenly felt their minds become clear, as if enlightened by a sudden awakening.

"Um?"

The Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West exclaimed in surprise, quickly realizing what was happening.

"How has the workings of Heaven become so clear and transparent?!"

They felt that their comprehension speed had increased several times over, and they couldn't help but show their joy.

Soon, they guessed that it was Hongjun, who was in the Dao Integration Realm, who had made the move.

Looking up at the sky, they worshipped from top to bottom.

"Thank you for your help, Master. We will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Demon Court.

After the Heavenly Court thwarted their last attempt to annihilate the human race, the Demon Court was in a state of depression for a period of time.

The enormous gap in strength left them breathless.

However, Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun were, after all, heroes of the primordial world.

Despite this pressure, they are still trying to find ways to break through.

Soon, they found Kunpeng.

As fellow demons, and possessing formidable strength, they are a valuable asset to the Demon Court.

Initially, Kunpeng didn't like the Demon Court either.

After all, the Heavenly Court is currently at its zenith, and the Demon Court is its enemy. Although Kunwu is arrogant, he does not want to oppose the Heavenly Court!

To oppose the strongest sage among Hongjun's disciples—are you tired of living?

However, this time, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were clearly prepared. They offered to help attack Hongyun as a pledge of loyalty and recruited Kunpeng into their group.

Furthermore, after the matter was accomplished, Kun Yuxian comprehended the Primordial Purple Qi.

Such a tempting reason ultimately made Kun Zhe unable to resist, and he accepted the request.

Ultimately, Kunpeng was appointed as the Demon Master of the Demon Court, a position of extremely high rank, ranking below the Bing Demon and above all other demons.

Before long, the three secretly set off towards the Fire Cloud Cave.

This time, they were fully prepared and would not give Hongyun any chance to escape.

Three Quasi-Saints were besieging Hongyun, a Quasi-Saint, and they had almost no chance.

Just one Kunpeng is enough to give Hongyun a hard time.

However, they overlooked one thing.

That is the Eastern King Duke.

Within the Heavenly Court, the Eastern King Duke sensed the actions of Chang Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the others in an instant.

He immediately smiled slightly.

Everything is under control.

"A sneak attack on Hongyun? Fine, Hongyun helped our Heavenly Court resist the Demon Court back then, so we still owe him a debt of gratitude. This time, we should protect him. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the Heavenly Court?"

The next moment, the Eastern King gave a soft shout, summoning Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Zhiwei was startled and flew over quickly.

"Your humble servant Zhang Zhiwei greets Your Majesty!"

"What are Your Majesty's orders?"

Zhang Zhiwei knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

The Eastern King nodded and waved his hand.

In an instant, a golden edict flew out and hovered in front of Zhang Zhiwei.

"Bearing this imperial decree, proceed immediately to the Fire Cloud Palace."

Zhang Zhiwei looked bewildered, nodded, and accepted the imperial edict.

The next moment, his eyes cleared, and he understood what he had to do.

Soon, he bowed deeply and disappeared from the Heavenly Court!

In the primordial wilderness, there is a fairyland, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, where cranes fly, mythical beasts roam, and spiritual herbs grow everywhere, spreading for thousands of miles.

A waterfall cascades down and flows into a lake.

Among them, red lotus blossoms appeared in abundance, and unusual phenomena proliferated.

Hidden within this fairyland lies a palace.

It is called "Fire Cloud Palace".

Among them lived a powerful innate being, who was also one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao and possessed primordial purple energy.

It was none other than Taoist Hongyun.

He sat cross-legged, his body emanating red energy, constantly tempering his physical body and divine consciousness.

A wisp of primordial purple energy floated above his head, blessing him.

After a long while, he stopped cultivating and sighed.

"Alas, what a pity. After obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi for so many years, I am still so far from attaining enlightenment..."

Hongyun looked dejected and planned to put away the Primordial Purple Qi.

Suddenly, he felt a jolt in his heart and sensed something.

The next moment, he pushed off the ground and jumped to the side!

boom!

A magic seal slammed into the spot where Hongyun had been sitting cross-legged, producing a loud boom.

The Fire Cloud Palace then cracked open and instantly turned into ruins.

"Who?!"

Hongyun was furious and looked into the distance.

Three figures slowly emerged, their faces bearing cold smiles.

It was none other than Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Kunpeng!

"Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi? And... Kunpeng?!"

Hongyun was stunned.

He knew both Di Jun and Tai Yi very well; they were the two demon emperors of the Demon Court.

However, Kunpeng's memory was not very deep, but he did remember sitting on the futon next to him in the Zixiao Palace.

However, he later gave up the prayer mat, and Kunpeng was also coerced into giving it up as well.

"Fellow Daoists, what do you mean by this?"

"I, Hongyun, have no grudge against any of you. Why have you attacked me?!"

Hongyun said with a gloomy expression.

"Enough with the nonsense, hand over the Primordial Purple Qi!"

Kunpeng grinned ferociously, transformed into a giant roc, and spread its wings to attack.

The speed was astonishing!

Hongyun calmly responded, taking out the Nine-Nine Red Cloud Soul-Scattering Gourd and holding it in front of him.

Kunpeng had no innate magical artifacts to offer, and Hongyun couldn't do anything about it for the time being.

Hongyun fought and retreated, slowly moving backward.

If it were just a Kunpeng, he would certainly not be afraid.

However, behind Kunpeng, there were two peerless quasi-saints, Donghuang Dijun and others, watching, forcing him to deal with them with caution.

"Trying to leave?"

Donghuang Taiyi sneered and summoned the Chaos Bell.

The melodious chimes echoed out, freezing the surrounding space.

Hongyun felt as if she were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move.

Moreover, the surrounding space was sealed off, making it impossible for him to even escape.

"Red Cloud brat, today is your death day."

Kunpeng's face was contorted with rage. Seizing the opportunity, he struck with ruthless cruelty.

Di Jun also stood behind him, occasionally throwing out the Hetu Luoshu. The power of this innate spiritual treasure alone was enough to cause trouble.

Hongyun, fighting against three opponents, gradually found herself unable to hold her own.

"Could today truly be my death day?"

Hongyun was somewhat desperate.

Looking back, he was a kind person throughout his life and never deliberately made enemies.

Unexpectedly, today I am about to die.

"stop!"

At this critical moment, a shout rang out.

Holding the Heavenly Belt and Magic Hat bestowed upon him by the Eastern King Duke, Zhang Zhiwei arrived with an aura of righteousness and solemnity!

His voice seemed to possess a mysterious power that made his words come true, causing people to unconsciously do as he said.

"Who goes there?!"

The four stopped fighting and looked at Zhang Zhiwei.

"Cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

The four looked at each other.

With their quasi-saint cultivation level, they could tell at a glance that Zhang Zhiwei was just a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, judging from his appearance, he exudes righteousness and is quite extraordinary.

Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Kunpeng Renren frowned deeply as they looked at Zhang Zhiwei, seemingly sensing something.

"This human seems to possess a power that can restrain our demon race."

Sensing the unprecedented aura emanating from Zhang Zhiwei, they spoke at the same time.

As a Celestial Master, Zhang Zhiwei was a successor of the Taoist tradition of subduing demons and eliminating evil spirits.

Now, he has been bestowed the title of the First Celestial Master of the Celestial Masters Sect by the Eastern King Duke, and has received additional blessings from the underworld.
