Chapter 37 Backed by the Dao Ancestor? Who dares to disrespect the Eastern King?
"Yes, brother, we really should go and congratulate them."
Donghuang Taiyi's eyes were also filled with anticipation. He had a fiery temper and also possessed the innate treasure, Chaos Bell.
The Eastern Emperor Bell is also known as the Chaos Bell!
Legend has it that when Pangu separated heaven and earth, his axe split into three.
The axe blade transforms into the Pangu Banner, primarily for attack and destruction, capable of tearing through space and time.
The back of the axe transforms into a Tai Chi symbol, representing balance and capable of transforming Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
The axe handle then transformed into the Chaos Bell.
When Donghuang Taiyi was born, the Chaos Bell was born with him, so he was invincible as long as no sage appeared.
With a supreme innate treasure in hand, one can be said to be virtually invincible in defense, and only a saint can break through it.
The Chaos Bell's attacks are equally terrifying, primarily suppressing spacetime and combining offense and defense.
In terms of combat power among the demon race, Di Jun appears to be the strongest, but in reality, it is him...
Donghuang Taiyi is stronger than Dijun.
Emperor Jun, seated on his throne, glanced at the ten demon gods below, then at his younger brother, Donghuang Taiyi, shook his head, and said in a deep voice:
"No need!"
As soon as this word comes out,
In an instant,
All the demons in the hall cast puzzled glances at Di Jun.
Why?
This is a rare opportunity!
This would be an opportunity for the Eastern King to lose face in front of countless powerful figures.
Simultaneously,
It's also a way to showcase the strength of their demon race.
But even with such an opportunity, Di Jun ordered them not to make a move.
They simply couldn't understand what Dijun was thinking.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the demons, Di Jun slowly explained, "A mere Eastern King Duke is not worthy of being a great enemy of our demon race. Moreover, if we send people to cause trouble, it will only make countless prehistoric creatures laugh at us, thinking that our demon race is petty and narrow-minded."
"Brother, the purpose of the Eastern King Duke's Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly is very likely to win over powerful figures from all walks of life and strengthen the power of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court."
"If we don't make any statement, wouldn't we be giving him what he wants?"
Donghuang Taiyi frowned, still not understanding why his elder brother did what he did.
If it were up to his temperament, he would have preferred to do it himself.
Holding the Eastern Emperor Bell, he descended upon the Purple Palace to present a grand gift to the Eastern King Duke.
Di Jun revealed a contemptuous smile: "Don't worry, we don't need to lift a finger, someone will take care of him."
"Do you really think those powerful beings are after him?"
"It's just to give face to the Dao Ancestor. Even if he's been appointed the head of the male immortals by the Dao Ancestor, so what?"
"Those truly powerful beings don't take him seriously at all. Besides, we need to make him even more arrogant and domineering so that we can accelerate the unification of our demon race."
Di Jun was a demon emperor and a strategist.
How could they not guess what the Eastern King was thinking?
Their demon race's Heavenly Court already possessed the strength to crush their opponent, but they did not take direct action, partly out of consideration for the Dao Ancestor's reputation.
On the other hand, there is a need for such a troublemaker.
Without the Eastern King Duke forcing those neutral prehistoric demon races to make a choice, the demon race's path to growth might still be somewhat troublesome.
He personally forced those ancient races to join the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, and that was completely different from joining voluntarily.
at this time.
Inside the Purple Mansion Celestial Court.
After several rounds of drinks, everyone was in high spirits.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Dong Wanggong prepared to reveal the true purpose of this gathering.
He stood up, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile, "I invited you all to the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly today because there is a very important matter I would like to discuss with you."
The words were spoken.
The conversation among everyone present also stopped.
When the Eastern King noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, he glanced around before speaking.
"As you all know, I am the head of the male immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor, and I have the responsibility to maintain the stability of heaven and earth. However, I have discovered that there are some forces in this primordial world that are going against the Dao Ancestor's will."
Every cultivator who had ever been to Zixiao Palace scoffed at it.
They really know how to make a mountain out of a molehill!
Dongwang Palace paid no attention to the gazes of others. He raised his wine cup and continued, "Everyone, as the head of the male immortals, I am holding this gathering of ten thousand immortals today to invite you to join my Purple Mansion Immortal Court and work with me to maintain the order of the primordial world."
He spoke with an arrogant expression.
He's already brought up the Dao Ancestor. Even if these people are obedient to orders but not to summons, they still have to send petitions to the Dao Ancestor and choose to join his Celestial Court.
With so many powerful figures joining, the mere demon race's Heavenly Court is nothing to fear.
He had already made up his mind that once the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly ended, he would immediately set off to attack the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, and in one fell swoop, destroy Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun, those two scruffy birds, to the point of complete annihilation.
We must make all living beings in the primordial world understand who truly calls the shots in this world.
At this moment, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, and then turned their attention to the direction of the Three Pure Ones.
They were also considering it in their hearts.
The Eastern King Duke was clearly using his power to intimidate people, borrowing the Dao Ancestor's influence to try and get them to join the Celestial Court. If they were to refuse outright, it would be disrespectful to him.
Moreover, everyone knows the nature of a villain like Dongwanggong, and they might even go directly to Daozu to complain about them.
Among those present, the Supreme One is the eldest disciple personally taught by the Dao Ancestor.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian were both direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor.
If the Three Pure Ones join, they will definitely follow without hesitation. Perhaps this is the general trend of heaven and earth. Even if they look down on the Eastern King Duke's character, at least they have to save face.
Moreover, with the Three Pure Ones in charge, joining the Celestial Court is like clinging to a powerful force.
Everyone is waiting for the Three Pure Ones to make a statement.
Their attitude determined everyone's choice.
Niu Ben couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Dong Wanggong said. Dong Wanggong was truly the number one person who courted death.
If he had simply remained the head of the male immortals and hadn't sought fame or fortune, perhaps his fate wouldn't have been so tragic. After all, the Queen Mother of the West, who was also appointed the head of the female immortals, lived a peaceful and stable life.
Sure enough, as soon as Dong Wanggong said this, Taishang's brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, and his face still had that natural and gentle smile.
He rose, lightly flicked his whisk, and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong, the three of us are accustomed to quiet cultivation and will not participate in the grand schemes of the primordial world. Thank you for your hospitality today. We still have matters to attend to at Kunlun Mountain, so I will take my leave now!"
Niu Ben had already guessed the Supreme Emperor's attitude.
His form changed instantly, transforming him into his original form.
The Supreme Being floated up.
Niu Ben carried Taishang away from Zifu Continent.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian followed closely behind.
The two of them, along with Guang Chengzi and Duobao, didn't even say hello.
They came here to give face to the Dao Ancestor, not for Dong Wanggong. Besides, their status is much higher than Dong Wanggong's; they are the Dao Ancestor's personal disciples.
At best, Dongwanggong is merely the head of the male immortals who has been appointed. He is narrow-minded and arrogant. Even if he were given a higher status, he would hardly achieve anything great.
Their attitudes have made it clear to everyone how to choose.
At this point, some people couldn't help but sneer, but they didn't make a sound.
Everyone understood that the Eastern King Duke wanted to use them to deal with the demon race's Heavenly Court.
None of them are fools. If the Three Pure Ones were in charge, they would definitely be willing to take action. This would also signify the legitimacy of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court and represent the attitude of the Dao Ancestor.
Now, Lao Tzu is showing no respect whatsoever to the Supreme Lord. His words implied that he was only there to attend a banquet, and that the rest of the matter had nothing to do with him.
I will not participate in any major historical events.
He didn't even give Dongwang a chance to speak, and just made up an excuse to turn around and leave.
The connection between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian is even more direct.
Especially his eyes, which were filled with disdain and mockery.
Tongtian's indifference seemed to be a declaration to everyone that if he weren't the leader of the male immortals, he might have already drawn the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The Eastern King was grinding his teeth to powder, and the anger in his heart was surging uncontrollably.
But he was only angry for a moment.
He still managed to force a smile, but the wine glass he held up betrayed his embarrassment.
