Chapter 129 The Celestial Court is Established, and the Six Heavenly Emperors Vow to Kill the Eastern King Duke (2)
"But what do we, the witch clan, need to give in return?"
After all, Fellow Daoist Zhunti doesn't seem like the type to leave empty-handed. Houtu looked at Zhunti in front of her and said with a wry smile.
"You all only need to watch over and assist Dongwang Gong, and keep the Heavenly Court in check. If there is anything that the Wu Clan needs to pay—when it comes to feeding on living beings in the future, try to prioritize the races that have submitted to the Heavenly Court."
Speaking of which, this matter has another benefit for the Wu Clan. The Thirty-Three Heavens are vast and rich in spiritual energy, enough to support the cultivation and survival of a large number of beings. However, if Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong succeeds, he can leave behind many beings on the prehistoric land. "Zhunti looked at Houtu in front of him and continued.
There's one more thing that Zhunti didn't say: if all living beings were to enter the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Heavenly Court, what would the consequences be? The Wu Clan should probably think about it themselves.
What are you talking about repaying?
It would be enough to delay the Three Pure Ones from accumulating merit and fortune, and slow down their path to sainthood.
If there is truly a reward, and if there truly is a day when the Four Sages rule the world, then just don't expose him.
"This matter is of great importance, and I need to discuss it with my brothers and sisters. However, Fellow Daoist Zhunti's suggestion is excellent—" Houtu said, looking at Zhunti in front of her. Zhunti's plan to support the Eastern King Duke was indeed a good way to weaken the Heavenly Court.
"Although I don't know if it will succeed, I will do my best to make this happen." Looking at Zhunti, who was "working hard" at this moment, Houtu gave her assurance, which made Zhunti feel a little better.
"Fellow Daoist Houtu has such a heart, which is truly a blessing for all living beings in the prehistoric world. However, this matter must be accomplished quickly, and we must not let the news leak out, otherwise the Heavenly Court will surely take drastic measures."
Moreover, although Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong still possesses the destiny of a supreme being, his position as the head of the immortals has been abolished, and his fortune is truly insufficient to establish the immortal court. At that time, the assistance of the Wu tribe will be necessary.” Zhunti looked at Houtu in front of him and instructed her.
"Alright, how can we help?" Houtu asked, looking at Zhunti in front of her.
"Jumang, Zhurong, and other ancestral witches who have been in charge of the four seasons and heavenly tribulations should be appointed to positions in the Celestial Court." Zhunti looked at Houtu in front of him and said that nowadays everyone in the witch clan calls themselves earth immortals. Although he did not know how they could be called immortals without a primordial spirit, the Heavenly Dao had already recognized the merits of the twelve ancestral witches in creating the world. It was not Zhunti's place to worry about this.
"You want my brothers to submit to the Eastern King?" Houtu asked, her expression changing drastically. Her murderous aura began to condense, drawing out boundless malevolent energy.
Now that Houtu, in her immortal form, is united with the earth veins of Buzhou Mountain, when she is enraged, she says, "If this strategy is implemented, in the eyes of many prehistoric beings, Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong will become a puppet of the Wu Clan. If you want to gain something, you must first give something. If you want to change the situation, the Wu Clan must find a capable person to help you govern the prehistoric land and stand against the Heavenly Court." Zhunti looks at Houtu in front of him and says neither humbly nor arrogantly. Even when faced with the boundless evil energy that Houtu brings, his expression does not change in the slightest.
Everything at this moment was within his expectations. Those words were appropriate for Houtu and Dongwanggong, and they were also appropriate for him.
The Eastern King Duke needs to pay a price to reclaim his supreme destiny, and the Witch Clan also needs to pay a price to divide and rule the myriad races of the primordial world.
He, Zhunti, wanted to stir up chaos in the ancient East to buy a chance for the West, but he would have to pay a price.
Thinking of the four direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor who were all Heavenly Emperors in the Heavenly Court, and looking up at the "Heaven" that had now been merged with the Dao Ancestor, Zhunti couldn't help but feel a bit gloomy.
Is the current state of affairs in this primordial world a coincidence, or is there truly an invisible hand pulling everything together from behind the scenes?
Zhunti didn't know, but even in this Heavenly Court, there are still six Heavenly Emperors who are truly the "great trend" of the Heavenly Way. He entered the game himself, and what he sought was just to "win half a move against Heaven."
"I understand. Fellow Daoist, please wait here for a moment. Whether it succeeds or not, our Wu Clan will give you an explanation. Regardless of the outcome, our Wu Clan appreciates your good intentions." Houtu looked at Zhunti and said solemnly.
Zhunti nodded and began to cultivate on the spot, deducing the secrets of heaven, and said no more. After Houtu finished speaking, she left the tribe to find other ancestral witches.
Meanwhile, in the Thirty-Three Heavens...
Inside the Sun Palace, Tongtian and Taiyi were together trying to comprehend the mysteries of the Chaos Bell.
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Fellow Daoist Taiyi is truly a remarkable person." Tongtian looked at Taiyi in front of him, clapped his hands and laughed. As a master of array formations, he could naturally see how ingenious Taiyi's idea was.
The walls of the Chaos Bell are engraved with the stars of the heavens, which are the Daoist essence left behind at the time of creation. Taiyi was able to use them as a foundation to comprehend a great array that was enough to sweep across the primordial world. This truly impressed Tongtian and made him very happy.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Tongtian is the true master of array formations. My actions have truly made me a laughingstock. I hope Fellow Daoist Tongtian will not laugh at me." Upon hearing this, Taiyi felt quite pleased with himself. Although the "Zhou Tian Star Array" was still only in its embryonic form, it had condensed his hard work and was worthy of praise, especially from Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones.
With his noble status, esteemed position, and mastery of array formations, being praised by such a person naturally delighted Taiyi.
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi is too modest. Your methods are truly admirable." Because Tongtian was a master of array formations, he was amazed by Taiyi's idea: to refine a postnatal spiritual treasure and use it to join forces with many powerful beings to set up an array, thereby mobilizing the power of countless stars in the boundless primordial starry sky to fight the enemy. If this array can truly be completed, then with the current strength of the Heavenly Court, only a saint could withstand it.
Without knowing the existence of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, it can be said that for Tongtian, unless Styx truly becomes a saint, once this Zhou Tian Star Formation is successful, the Heavenly Court will be completely invincible in the prehistoric world!
"In that case, I shall take my leave. I wish Fellow Daoist Taiyi a speedy success." Tongtian looked at Taiyi in front of him, smiled and said, and then prepared to leave.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian is a master of array formations. In terms of array formations, apart from that one who has already attained Dao, no one in the prehistoric world can surpass him. Even the Styx River, when it comes to array formations, is no match for Fellow Daoist Tongtian."
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, why not stay and lend me a hand? If we work together, we can make the Zhou Tian Star Array appear sooner!" Taiyi looked at Tongtian and laughed.
"No, no!" Tongtian waved his hand and said, "This Zhou Tian Star Array requires the Zhou Tian Star Array as its foundation. The Chaos Bell is your life-bound treasure. How can I possibly comprehend it from the side?"
"Furthermore, the Zhou Tian Star Array is already taking shape. We only need to proceed step by step; its completion will be a matter of time. Why should I share in your contribution?"
"Haha, since Fellow Daoist Tongtian says so, I'm even more eager for you to stay and join us." Seeing Tongtian's straightforwardness, Taiyi also said with delight, "Although it has a rudimentary form, with your help, we don't know how much effort and time we can save. Fellow Daoist, time waits for no one."
