Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 99 Purple Mansion, Clay Chickens and Earthen Dogs

Just as Donghua was struggling in the long river of fate, a message spread throughout the primordial world.

"Have you heard? The Eastern King of the Purple Mansion has given up cultivating the path of destiny and imperial power."

"You're only finding out now? I've known for a long time. I even heard that the Eastern King Duke has sided with the Witch Court."

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could the head of the male immortals, Dongwanggong, possibly submit to the Witch Court? Your news is utterly unbelievable!"

"Don't you believe me? I heard it's because this Eastern King Duke has taken a liking to the Ancestral Witch Houtu that he's willing to abandon the Great Dao and be at the beck and call of the Witch Court!"

"How could that be? The Eastern King Duke of Zifu and the Western Queen Mother of Kunlun have long been Daoist partners. How could they possibly be involved with the Ancestral Witch Houtu of the Wu Clan? Their Daos are not compatible at all."

"You know what, I've heard about this too. My master's fellow Daoist's disciple's master's friend's disciple is cultivating at Wanshou Mountain. I heard it was said by Ancestor Hongyun."

"Ancestor Hongyun? Really? Is there really a story between the Eastern King Duke and the Ancestral Witch Houtu?"

"Everyone, I think this is pretty much true; after all, there's no smoke without fire."

"Moreover, I've also heard that even the honest and kind-hearted Immortal Zhen Yuanzi said that the Eastern King Duke is a role model for us, a romantic Eastern God."

"Hiss, it seems this is true. I still trust the reputation of the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi."

"That's right, that's right. I thought Di Jun was already quite the ladies' man, marrying two goddesses of the moon, but this Donghua Shangdi is no less than Di Jun. One is the Queen Mother of the West, the head of the female immortals, and the other is Houtu, the goddess of the earth. They are even better than him."

"Ha ha……"

……

"bump!"

A decorative vase shattered, its ethereal aura dissipating, and the Queen Mother of the West's rage reached its peak.

"Bluebird, investigate this! I need to know who is spreading these rumors!"

The four divine beasts standing to the side trembled and dared not utter a single word.

The expression on the face of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden watching a show.

The bluebird stammered, unable to speak, and slowly said, "Your Majesty, this matter was told by Daoist Hongyun of Fire Cloud Cave. It was spread during his travels in the prehistoric world, when he was visiting friends. Now it has spread throughout the entire prehistoric world."

The Queen Mother of the West roared, "Hongyun, I am your sworn enemy!"

"Tell me, is this real or fake?"

The bluebird quickly said, "Your Majesty, I think this is definitely false, just a rumor. Your Majesty is so beautiful, how could the Emperor possibly take a fancy to Houtu?"

The Queen Mother of the West raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, "I didn't realize before that Donghua was such a person. He could even win the heart of the Ancestral Witch by repairing a Western ley line."

"That's truly an amazing skill!"

"You may all leave!"

The group quickly fled the main hall.

"Brother, why did you go to Mount Tai? What happened?"

The Queen Mother of the West was genuinely angry, but not because of the rumors. At their level, the Dao comes first in all things, and the emotions between men and women are utterly insignificant.

The biggest reason she and Donghua became Daoist partners was that their Daos were interdependent, and secondly, their sincere feelings for each other had always been the reason.

What really angered her was why Donghua would associate with the Witch Clan. These days, the Witch and Demon Clans are people that these innate deities would avoid at all costs, so how could he possibly get involved?

She got angry because she couldn't understand it!

……

At the thirty-third heaven of the Heavenly Court, all the top-ranking members of the Heavenly Court were located inside the hall!

Di Jun spoke first, asking, "Tell me, what are your thoughts on the matters of the Purple Mansion and the Witch Court?"

Fuxi laughed and said, "I think we don't need to pay any attention to it, because it's impossible. The Purple Mansion can ally with anyone, but it's definitely not the Witch Court. How could a group of people who don't cultivate immortality possibly ally with the Purple Mansion?"

The Demon Saint Ci Tie snorted coldly and said fiercely, "Your Majesty, I think it's quite possible. That Eastern King Duke is just a lustful man who has lost his mind. For the sake of the so-called Peach Banquet of the Western Queen Mother, he actually handed over the Peach Spirit Root bestowed by the Dao Ancestor. Now, his actions are not without basis!"

Ci Tie's words were full of disdain and mockery towards Dong Wang Gong; he still couldn't forget the time he almost died at Dong Wang Gong's hands.

Although he couldn't defeat the Eastern King Duke, he would be overjoyed if he could persuade the entire Heavenly Court to send troops to the Purple Palace today.

"Shut your mouth. Don't embarrass yourself by revealing your petty plans." Kunpeng's sinister gaze swept over Ci Tie, directly revealing his inner thoughts.

Ci Tie quickly shut his mouth, for he both admired and feared Kunpeng.

The worship stems from Kunpeng's creation of the demon script, which was widely disseminated among the demon race.

The fear stemmed from Kunpeng's ruthlessness.

Everyone in the hall was well aware of the feud between Ci Tie and Dong Hua, and no one said much. Unexpectedly, the usually taciturn Demon Master spoke up today.

Di Jun also looked at Kunpeng and asked in a deep voice, "Now that the Demon Master has spoken, how should we respond? What should our Heavenly Court do next?"

Kunpeng paused for a moment, then said after thinking for a while, "Heavenly Emperor, the greatest enemy of our Heavenly Court is definitely the Witch Court. The Purple Mansion is not worth worrying about. Including the Queen Mother of the West, they only have two top experts. As for the rest, hmph, they are nothing but clowns."

Fuxi nodded slowly, agreeing, and said, "I also agree with the Demon Master's words. After all, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother are the heads of male and female immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. We don't need to target them."

"Moreover, the Eastern King Duke does not cultivate the Imperial Way of Destiny now, so there is no conflict between him and our Heavenly Court."

As soon as Fuxi finished speaking, the people in the hall began to discuss among themselves.

"Your Majesty, Demon Master, I have a different opinion from yours," Bai Ze said, standing up.

"The emperors are all in high positions, and they believe that the identity of the head of male immortals is merely a status in the immortal path, but in fact, it is quite the opposite."

Bai Ze looked around the hall and slowly said, "Although the title of Head of Male Immortals is not a rank, it was personally conferred by the Dao Ancestor and is widely known throughout the prehistoric world. It is highly respected among the lower and middle-level cultivators in the prehistoric world."

"The Eastern King has not raised his banner yet, but countless Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Daluo Golden Immortals are flocking to the Purple Mansion. Even some innate saints and guests from the Purple Cloud Palace have joined the Purple Mansion."

"If the Eastern King Duke raises his banner, many hesitant forces and powerful figures will surely join him, and he will definitely be a major threat to our Heavenly Court."

After hearing Bai Ze's words, everyone in the hall looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say.

Di Jun's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, he said, "My previous plan was to target the Purple Mansion, but now that it has been confirmed that the Eastern King Duke does not cultivate the Emperor's Path of Destiny, I am also a little unsure."

"But can a mere head of male immortals truly possess such great prestige?"

Bai Ze: "Your Majesty, I, Bai Ze, am adept at seeking advantage and avoiding harm, and I listen to the voices of the world. I am absolutely infallible."

"Second brother, what do you think?" Di Jun turned around and asked Taiyi, who was sitting on the left.

Taiyi opened his slightly closed eyes and said domineeringly, "The Purple Mansion is nothing but a bunch of worthless wretches. As for the Eastern King Duke, he does have some ability. As for how to proceed, brother, you can decide!"

"Besides, Zhunti has already revealed the full extent of Zifu's power to us, so what's there to worry about? Destroying him will be a piece of cake!"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun burst into laughter and mocked, "The Eastern King Duke is indeed as stupid as a pig, actually believing that shameless Zhunti."

He then changed the subject, saying, "However, Zhunti is indeed a ruthless person. One moment he was cooperating with Dongwanggong, and the next he betrayed him for the power of the Zhou Tian stars. Our Heavenly Court must be careful in the future!"

Taiyi snorted coldly and said, "If Zhunti dares to have any designs on my Heavenly Court, I will definitely lead my men to destroy his so-called Spirit Mountain and turn it into a true 'spirit' mountain."

Everyone inside the hall burst into laughter!

Kunpeng stepped forward and said, "Heavenly Emperor, I have a method to test the Purple Mansion's attitude."

"speak!"

Kunpeng said solemnly, "I plan to wage war against the North Sea Dragon Clan during this period to completely occupy the North Sea. At that time, there will definitely be a battle with the Dragon Clan."

"If the Purple Mansion sends troops to support us, we'll have a convenient excuse to eliminate them without worrying about the Eastern King's status. If they don't send troops, we can take advantage of the situation and occupy the Four Seas, at which point they'll be no threat!"

Di Jun thought for a moment, his golden eyes sweeping over Kunpeng, scrutinizing him for a while, seemingly lost in thought.

Not long after, he said, "Then it's settled. You are the Lord of Beiming, and you will only send troops on behalf of Beiming first. If Zifu joins the battle, our Heavenly Court will naturally take action and destroy Zifu in one fell swoop."

"yes!"

Upon hearing Di Jun's decision, no one objected. In any case, they supported whether or not to fight.

Only Fuxi's eyes flickered, lost in thought, and no one knew what he was thinking!
