Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

Chapter 95 The Celestial Court, Not to be Controlled! Di Jun and Tai Yi Establish the Demon Court

Just as the Yin-Yang Ancestor said.

The Eastern King Duke proclaimed that the Celestial Court, established in the primordial world, was a place to accommodate all living beings, manage the order and rules of the primordial world, and ensure its stability.

This would be of great benefit to the primordial world, and both the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao should, in principle, agree to it.

However, at that very moment...

A majestic shout suddenly resounded from the summit of Longevity Mountain: "The Celestial Court is not to be ruled by anyone!"

The sound was like a great bell, resounding throughout the world.

In a short sentence, it was not a rejection, but rather the Lord of the Earth declaring to the Primordial World that with him present, the Celestial Court was not worthy to rule the land!

With the authority over the underground passage in hand, why should I need the Celestial Court's intervention?

"They're too greedy! The Five Elements and the Eastern King Duke, this master and disciple pair, are far too greedy!"

The Yin-Yang Ancestor's gaze was icy as he muttered, "Not only did he anger so many of us demon gods, but he also coveted the land and actively provoked this Lord of the Earth!"

"This move is tantamount to suicide!"

"However, since he intends to establish this celestial court, then we of Yin and Yang shall certainly challenge him!"

As he finished speaking, the Yin-Yang Ancestor arrived at the ancestral land of a minor race and roared with the power of a Primordial Golden Immortal: "Submit or perish?"

"Our people are willing to submit!"

After accepting this race, the Yin-Yang Ancestor hurriedly went to other races.

Although the Earthly Path was not established by the Celestial Court, the Celestial Court was indeed entitled to manage the order of the primordial world according to the Heavenly Dao.

The heavens surged, and then a stream of merit swept down at lightning speed—it was the Heavenly Dao's merit and fortune!

Golden light, like a stream, poured down from the heavens and enveloped the entire Penglai Island.

This merit is divided into three parts.

Of these, a full 70% fell upon the celestial palaces that evolved from the celestial court established by the Eastern King Duke.

The Celestial Court is not a single race; it is the place that manages order, and naturally, it possesses more merit than any other race!

With this merit, not only did many creatures on Penglai Island make breakthroughs, but the power of the island's protective array also greatly increased!

A magnificent celestial palace appeared, with numerous celestial runes emerging. An invisible pressure spread out, announcing the birth of the celestial court to heaven and earth.

However, the Great Luo Golden Immortal powerhouses who took Huang Zhongji's medicine did not experience any improvement.

Although taking Huangzhongli is beneficial, one's cultivation level will be permanently trapped at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

In addition, two merits were integrated into the body of Dongwanggong, the first Immortal Emperor of the Primordial World.

He already possessed the cultivation level of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. After receiving the blessing of this merit, his bottleneck was instantly and forcefully broken through, and his cultivation level surged to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, just one step away from becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal.

"A Great Luo Golden Immortal—or just a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

Holding the dragon-headed crutch, Dongwanggong felt his cultivation level rise by a minor realm, his face extremely grim. "Why?"

"I did not eat Huangzhong plums, so why did I receive this merit blessing? My cultivation level only increased by two minor realms, and I did not break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm."

""

No one replied to him.

However, the fact that his teacher had achieved one success in the Five Elements made him understand it more clearly than he could have imagined.

My merits and fortune in establishing the Celestial Court have been taken away by my teacher!

The Five Elements Ancestor, who had attained a certain level of virtue, did not experience any increase in his laws or cultivation.

His cultivation level is already at the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. If he wants to improve, relying solely on the merit of establishing an Immortal Court is far from enough.

And he only recently broke through to the next level, so how could he possibly break through again so soon?

The Five Elements Ancestor, sensing the merit and fortune entering his body, looked extremely grim. "Oh no!"

My disciple, the Eastern King, preemptively seized control of the heavens and earth, establishing this Celestial Court. Although he gained immense merit from the Heavenly Dao, this also resulted in the majority of the Heavenly Fortune being allocated to the Celestial Court!

Furthermore, if the path is not properly traversed, the merit gained will be reduced by half!

Thus, the merits I gained compared to those of Qingli and Luo were far, far less!

"This plan—is flawed!"

This move will surely anger Luo and Hongjun—but I have an enhanced island-protecting formation, so what is there to fear?

The Five Elements Ancestor also deeply felt that although this plan was ambitious, it overestimated the strength of the enemy and would inevitably lead to disaster.

Regardless, the Celestial Court was thus established in Penglai.

The moment the Celestial Court was established, all living beings discussed it, some with awe, some with disdain, and some with ridicule!

"A celestial court that manages heaven and earth? Hah~ Heh heh~ The earthly path doesn't work, so the only power left is to rule the heavens!"

"If you cannot control the land, your merit will naturally be halved. Do you think you can use this to strengthen yourself? Wrong! Utterly wrong!"

"To think that this can allow us to contend with the witches and demons is nothing short of a pipe dream!"

"Having angered so many powerful beings, the Celestial Court will likely be destroyed very soon!"

In contrast to the discussions among all the spirits, the Yin-Yang Ancestor, who personally took action, had already quickly "won over" several races, large and small.

He decisively transmitted his voice to his disciples Di Jun and Tai Yi: "I have already helped you obtain tens of millions of beasts and birds. You should act immediately and not delay any longer."

"I will obey my master's instructions."

Di Jun and Tai Yi immediately bowed and accepted the order.

As the two brothers locked eyes, Di Jun's eyes flashed with golden light. "Second brother, the Celestial Court established by the Eastern King Duke is not recognized by the Earthly Dao. Although it is supported by the Heavenly Dao, he cannot claim this fortune for himself."

"We should take this as a profound warning and not establish such a powerful court. Instead, we should first establish a proper clan!"

"What you say is very true, elder brother."

Taiyi nodded in agreement, glancing proudly towards the East Sea. "We really owe a great deal to this Immortal Emperor's guidance." His authority in the Immortal Court was truly enviable, but my brother and I could easily seize it later.

"Now that we have received our teacher's personal assistance, we should establish a clan here!"

"Second brother, don't be anxious."

Di Jun raised his hand to suppress Taiyi's urgency, then suddenly looked up at the heavens, saying, "I have already sensed that this Celestial Court is not merely a Celestial Court. Now that it has gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, it should be considered the Heavenly Court!"

"Since it is the Heavenly Court, its location should not be on earth like Penglai, but rather within the Nine Heavens!"

"Hiss~"

Emperor Jun's words made Taiyi realize something, and he exclaimed with delight, "In that case, my brother and I can even more reasonably seize power in the Heavenly Court afterward!"

"That's right."

Di Jun's golden eyes shone with confidence. "My brothers and I shall ascend to the Ninth Heaven and proclaim the birth of our race to the primordial world!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two brothers transformed into their true forms and, with the incredible speed of the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow, spread their wings and soared into the Ninth Heaven.

Then, in unison, they proclaimed to the primordial world: "I am Di Jun! I am Tai Yi!"

"We brothers are formed from the essence of the primordial sun. Today, we together uphold the order of Yin and Yang, govern the myriad stars of the primordial world, gather the many races that are no longer phoenixes or qilins, and maintain the order and rules of the primordial world!"

"Now, many races have joined together to create one race, named: Demon!"

"All birds, beasts, and spirits—those with cultivation abilities—can become demons!"

"I, Di Jun, shall henceforth be the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race!"

"I, Taiyi, shall henceforth be the Eastern Emperor of the Demon Race!"

"The Way of Heaven—behold the truth!"

When Di Jun and Tai Yi saw that Dong Wang Gong had made a mistake, they immediately learned a lesson.

Not only did they not establish a demon court, they also completely ignored the underground passage and only sought the judgment of the Heavenly Dao!

Since they already had the idea of ​​seizing the Celestial Court and creating the Demonic Court, they naturally would no longer gain the approval of the Earthly Dao.

"Demon! Demon! Demon!"
