Chapter 62 Reversing the Heavenly Gang, Hongjun is Enraged (2)
"Please inform us, fellow Daoist, that the cultivators Di Jun and Tai Yi from the Sun Star have come to pay their respects to the Immortal Leader." Di Jun looked at the follower of the Eastern King Duke and spoke in a gentle tone, showing no change in expression despite the other party's rudeness.
A general with a sword does not slay ants. The other party's rudeness was instigated by the Eastern King. To get angry now would be beneath one's dignity, and it is neither worthwhile nor necessary.
"In that case, please wait here for a moment, I will go back and report to the Immortal Lord." Seeing that Di Jun and Tai Yi were not angry as expected, but rather quite polite, the follower of the Eastern King Duke felt embarrassed to continue being rude, so he turned and left, returning to Penglai Island to report to the Eastern King Duke.
"Elder brother, why won't you let me—" Taiyi was indignant and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Dijun.
There was no way around it; as Taiyi, it was naturally unbearable to be treated so disrespectfully.
With Taiyi's current cultivation level, he could easily capture Dongwanggong and bring him to Dijun if he rushed into Penglai Island alone. As for his followers, not to mention that Taiyi has now entered the Quasi-Saint realm and his Corpse-Slaying Spirit Treasure is the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure with boundless power, even if Taiyi were still at the Daluo realm, he would not take them seriously.
"Sigh." Di Jun sighed deeply, but ultimately remained silent.
However, the Eastern King Duke, who was originally driven to the brink of despair by Di Jun and Tai Yi, is now able to have Di Jun and Tai Yi, who have already reached the Quasi-Saint level, waiting outside Penglai Island. This is indeed somewhat contrary to the Heavenly Gang.
Meanwhile, the follower went straight to see the Eastern King Duke as soon as he entered Penglai Island.
"Immortal Leader." That follower was also a powerful figure who had listened to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, but his cultivation was not high. He was not even as good as Ran Deng. He could only be described as a cultivator at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, but that was all.
"Immortal Master, Di Jun and Tai Yi have come here, seemingly with important matters to discuss with you. Why don't we invite them to Penglai Island for a chat?"
"The two of them have not acted in the slightest disrespectfully. Letting them wait outside Penglai Island would tarnish the reputation of the Immortal Leader." The man looked at the Eastern King Duke and respectfully suggested.
If it weren't for the Eastern King Duke's request, he wouldn't have wanted to be too disrespectful to Di Jun and Tai Yi. After all, as a Great Luo Golden Immortal who had been to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the reputation of the Great Sun Golden Crow brothers.
"You may step back now. I am currently in seclusion, seeking to comprehend the method of severing the three corpses and break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Let the two of them wait!" Dongwanggong looked at the man and shook his head.
He deliberately slighted Dijun and Taiyi, even hoping that they would back down when faced with difficulties.
This was not because Dongwanggong was rude, or looked down on or disliked Dijun and Taiyi. On the contrary, Dongwanggong greatly admired Dijun and Taiyi.
Taiyi took human form while holding the Chaos Bell, and was among the top of the three thousand guests of Zixiao. Dijun was even more magnanimous, able to befriend powerful figures from all sides and connect with all races. He even came uninvited when Styx created characters, thus gaining some fame along the way.
But the fact that even someone like himself, who also possesses a supreme destiny, can appreciate the other is precisely what makes Di Jun and Tai Yi worthy of his fear.
Dongwanggong knew clearly why Dijun and Taiyi had come, but he was also aware of the limits of his own abilities!
Why did Di Jun come at this particular time of year?
In order to deal with the witch clan.
Having the same supreme destiny, Dongwanggong felt that no one understood Dijun better than him; only one supreme being could truly understand another.
If Di Jun still harbors even the slightest ambition to dominate the prehistoric world, he would never accept the situation where the twelve ancestral witches unify the prehistoric land. At that time, all races in the prehistoric world would be subject to the control of the witch clan.
If Di Jun has the heart of a supreme ruler, does Di Jiang not?
But here's the question: can he fight against the Twelve Ancestral Witches?
No.
If it were anyone else, Dongwanggong would be confident that he could use his reputation as the Immortal Chief to contend with them, but facing the Twelve Ancestral Witches—
How could a Great Luo Golden Immortal who hadn't even severed his corpse contend with the Twelve Ancestral Witches?
How can we fight back?
Although he is the leader of the immortals, shouldn't he also make plans for the living beings on Penglai Island and the many fellow cultivators who follow him?
Among those powerful followers who followed him, some were moved by the name of the Immortal Leader, but most were his close friends who had known him, the Eastern King, for many years. These people entrusted their lives to him, so how could he use the lives of these friends as his entry ticket?
How could he just let his followers become shields for Di Jun and Tai Yi?
Let alone that he doesn't care about the living beings of the prehistoric world, even if he did, and fought the Twelve Ancestral Witches to the death, Di Jun and Tai Yi are not people who will stay under someone else's thumb for long. At that time, wouldn't they stab him, the Immortal Leader, in the back?
Can the Dao Ancestor manage this?
Even if the Dao Ancestor really intervened, he's already dead, so what's the use?
Let Dijun and Taiyi wait and see how long they can wait.
Thus, Dongwanggong continued his seclusion and cultivation, attempting to sever his three corpses and enter the quasi-saint realm. Meanwhile, Dijun and Taiyi guarded Penglai Island day and night, year after year, until ten thousand years, and even a whole era, passed. Finally, at the invitation of Fuxi and Nuwa, Dijun and Taiyi had no choice but to leave.
This matter was then spread throughout the entire prehistoric world, and people said that the Eastern King was arrogant, while Emperor Jun had the well-being of all living beings in the prehistoric world in his heart and was benevolent and righteous.
At this moment, above the Netherworld Blood Sea, Styx had just emerged from the Chaos Pearl.
His new physical body was in the form of an innate Dao body, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, quite handsome and dashing, wearing a blood-red Dao robe, and standing on a twelfth-grade karmic fire red lotus, making him incomparably handsome.
"Hahaha—." Styx laughed loudly, casually waving his Taoist robe. Boundless power instantly swept across the sea of blood. This feeling was wonderful.
Once this new physical body is fully formed, it will reach the realm of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
"Indeed, my idea was right. The combination of Pangu's essence blood and turbid energy can give birth to living beings, which means that Pangu's essence blood is enough to control turbid energy, so there is no reason why it cannot control chaos."
This is the power of chaos.
This power surpasses the pure and spiritual energy that ordinary beings rely on for cultivation, and it also surpasses the malevolent and turbid energy required for the cultivation of the witch clan. This power—
"It is my power!" Styx was confident. Even without considering his primordial spirit cultivation at the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, just looking at his physical body at the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, he was invincible in the prehistoric world except for Hongjun. After all, this physical body, which possessed the laws of heaven and earth and the power of chaos, was no joke.
For Styx, nothing could make him happier than improving his cultivation level.
At the same time, as Styx traveled through the primordial world with this new "divine body," Styx's fortune surged once again. This surge in fortune came from Pangu's fortune. After all, Styx already had the title of a descendant of Pangu. Now, he had forged a divine body with Pangu's essence and blood. Moreover, this body possessed both purity and turbidity, and could control chaos and create the universe.
If it was somewhat far-fetched before that Styx claimed to be a descendant of Pangu, now it's not far-fetched at all!
That kind of fortune should also belong to the River Styx!
