Red Lotus Taoist used the twenty-first grade Red Lotus of Hellfire as his main body, so his defense was already amazing. Unlike the Qiankun Taoist, the Map of the Universe's defense was to absorb attacks into the world inside the map and use the power of the universe to wear them down. If the attack was too strong, the world of the universe would be damaged. On the other hand, the Red Lotus of Hellfire defended against attacks. River Styx only needed to hand over Yuan Tu and Avici to Red Lotus Taoist.
River Styx's strength had improved tremendously since the Good and Evil Corpses had been slain. Since there was still a long time before the third sermon, he was ready to go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation. Moreover, his original body deduced the law with the Good and Evil Corpses, which was three times more efficient than before. The Law of the Universe and the Law of the Soul were still at the Middle-stage of Quasi-saint.
Moreover, time waits for no man. By the time Hongjun gave the third sermon and conferred the position of Saint, it would only be tens of thousands of years before Nüwa became a Saint. He had to seize the time and at least have the strength to protect himself in the hands of a Saint.
… ….
Ever since the Dao of the Three Corpses was spread out, the Great Desolation had been stirred up. Any news of an Innate Lingbao had become a fuse that triggered a massacre. Among the three thousand people who attended the sermon in the Purple Cloud Palace, there were very few who had an Innate Lingbao. It was considered good if there was one in ten.
However, one needed an Innate Lingbao to slay corpses, or at least an Innate object. Using an Innate object to slay corpses would greatly affect the cultivation of the Three Corpses. However, at least the original body could break through the Quasi-saint realm. Many Daluo Jinxian who did not have an Innate Lingbao chose to use an Innate object to slay corpses.
However, they gradually found that even if they used an Innate Lingbao to slay corpses, their cultivation would directly break through to the Middle-stage of Quasi-saint. However, if they used an Innate object to slay corpses, they would only break through to the Early-stage of Quasi-saint even if they broke through to the Daluo realm. Moreover, the corpses slayed corpses were very weak. Some of them were only in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
There was a huge gap between the Early-stage of Quasi-saint and the Middle-stage of Quasi-saint. After entering the realm of Quasi-saint, it was very difficult to improve one's cultivation. and the Innate Lingbao. Object to slay corpses not only affected corpses' cultivation, but also the Three Corpses's corpses's cultivation.
Ever since they realized this, these Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and even Sages-to-be began to crazily snatch Primordial Spiritual Treasures. Possessing Primordial Spiritual Treasures was no longer a blessing, and it could also bring disaster to oneself. Killing others to snatch their treasures was nothing new since ancient times, not to mention that this was a major event related to cultivation!
… ….
In the Grand Hall of Divine Wind of the Celestial Court, the powerful figures of the Demon Clan gathered. The two people sitting at the top were naturally the Demon Emperor Di Jun and the Demon Emperor Taichi. At this time, the two of them were much stronger than before. If River Styx was here, he would be able to tell that the two of them had already slain corpses.
That's right. After obtaining the Dao of Three Corpses, Di Jun and Taichi, like River Styx, went into seclusion as soon as they came back. With the help of the merit of establishing the Demon Clan, the two of them had successively slain their Good Corpses. The Demon Clan was rich and powerful. As the emperors of the Demon Clan, how could they lack Lingbao?
However, they also knew that slaying corpses would damage the origin of Lingbao. Naturally, the two of them were reluctant to use He Tu, Luo Shu, and the Bell of Chaos to slay their corpses. Instead, they each used an upper-grade Innate Lingbao to entrust their good thoughts. With the help of the merit of establishing the Demon Clan, they slashed their Good Corpses. Their cultivation immediately improved by leaps and bounds.
However, slaying corpses was not an easy task. Take Jimeng and the other Ten Great Saints of the Demon Clan for example. Although they were also in the early stage of the Quasi-saint realm and had Innate Lingbao, they still could not slash their Good Corpses. It could only be said that the time was not right.
Di Jun sat upright on the Dragon Throne, looking dignified without being angry. Taichi sat beside him. Although he seemed absent-minded, he still put a lot of pressure on the Demon Saints below. In terms of combat power, Taichi had the Bell of Chaos, a Primordial Treasure. He was not inferior to Di Jun at all, and could even surpass him.
Di Jun had gathered all the Demon Saints this time to finish what he had not said before. When the Celestial Court was first born, Di Jun's plan had only reached the second point. After that, the Demon Clan migrated to the Celestial Court. Di Jun was busy with government affairs, so he could only put his idea aside for the time being.
But now, Di Jun and Taichi had both broken through to the middle stage of the Quasi-saint realm. It was time for him to bring up his original idea. "Everyone, I have called you here today because I want to talk about the third point of the solution to the Demon Clan."
Hearing this, the Demon Saints discussed animatedly. It was no wonder that they had forgotten that Di Jun had only talked about the second point last time. It happened to be the birth of the Celestial Court, and after that, the Demon Clan had a lot of things to do. Who would have thought that Di Jun had a plan to improve the Demon Clan's situation?
Jimeng asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that you want to recruit the powerful figures of the Demon Clan and the hermits?" Hearing this, Emperor Jun could not help but look at Ji Meng with admiration. Ji Meng deserved to be called the sage of the Demon Tribe. He could even think of the same thing as Emperor Jun. He was a genius, no, a demon genius.
Di Jun nodded. "That's right. We Demon Clan have occupied the Celestial Court for thousands of years. We have been recuperating, and our strength is increasing day by day. We also have you, Jimeng, and other Demon Saints in the early stage of the Quasi-saint realm. Now that Taichi and I have severed our Good Corpses, our strength has advanced to the middle stage of the Quasi-saint realm, it is time to start this plan."
Hearing this, the Demon Saints all nodded. With Di Jun and Taichi's strength, it was enough to subdue the powerful figures of the Demon Clan who had not yet submitted to the Celestial Court. A burly man walked over. It was Demon Saint Fei Lian. Fei Lian shouted, "Your Majesty is right. We should immediately announce this to the world and summon all the powerful figures of the Demon Clan to the Celestial Court."
Fei Lian had an impatient temperament and was not good at thinking. This was somewhat similar to Zhu Rong Zu Wu. Jimeng immediately felt that Fei Lian's words were inappropriate. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, I think Fei Lian's words are inappropriate. Our Demon Clan has just stabilized, and our strength has not yet reached the level where we can deter all the powerful figures of the Demon Clan and the hermits. If we do this, I'm afraid we will offend many powerful figures."
Fei Lian heard Jimeng's objection. Although he felt that it was reasonable, he still glared at Jimeng and unwillingly retreated. Di Jun also felt that Jimeng's words were reasonable. There were many powerful figures of the Demon Clan who were Quasi-saint. If they did as Fei Lian said, it would be easy to offend others.
Di Jun asked Jimeng, "Jimeng, do you have a solution?" Jimeng thought for a while, then said, "There are many powerful figures of the Demon Clan who are hermits. Fuxi and Nüwa of Buzhou, Kunpeng of the Northern Underworld, Thunder God of Leize, and so on. There are many Quasi-saint experts among them. If we want to recruit them to the Celestial Court, I'm afraid we will have to pay a high price."
Di Jun asked, "What price?" As long as he could strengthen the Demon Clan of the Celestial Court, he could afford to pay this price. Jimeng hesitated for a while, then said, "Fuxi and Nüwa of Buzhou Mountain had already reached the Quasi-saint realm when they listened to the sermon in the Purple Cloud Palace. However, the two of them live in seclusion in Buzhou and have no power. Your Majesty only needs to use the Demon Clan's righteousness and the position of Emperor Xi and Empress Wa, as well as His Majesty Taichi, to recruit the two of them to the Celestial Court."
When the Demon Saints heard this, they immediately felt unhappy. In this way, they would have two more powerful figures above them. Not to mention the Demon Saints, even Di Jun frowned slightly. In the Demon Clan, Di Jun and Taichi were the most powerful figures. In the Demon Clan, the fate of the Demon Clan of the Celestial Court belonged to the two of them. That was why their cultivation was so smooth.
If he invited Fuxi and Nüwa, one as Emperor Xi and the other as Empress Wa, wouldn't that mean that he and Taichi's fate would be divided? Between the gains and losses, Di Jun had to think carefully. The fate of the Demon Clan was not something that could be decided just by talking about it.
Jimeng also saw that Di Jun was thinking about the gains and losses, so he advised, "Your Majesty, there are gains and losses. Although Emperor Xi and Empress Wa are important figures, Fuxi and Nüwa are not interested in power. They are just empty positions. However, if we can invite the two of them, firstly, the Demon Clan will have two more Quasi-saint masters. Secondly, it can also express Your Majesty's sincerity in recruiting them. There will definitely be some individual cultivators in the Great Desolation who will be tempted."
When Di Jun heard this, his eyebrows relaxed. He nodded and said, "Alright, let's do as Jimeng says. After the court is dismissed, Jimeng will come with me to Mount Buzhou to invite Fuxi and Nüwa." Di Jun personally invited them, which was enough to show his sincerity. In fact, he could also send Taichi, but Taichi was arrogant by nature. Only Di Jun could suppress him. If Taichi went, it would probably backfire.
Di Jun asked again, "Then how do we recruit the others?" With a good start, Di Jun naturally wanted to recruit more masters. The Twelve Zu Wu of the Wu people were too difficult to deal with. The Demon Clan had been defeated several times by the Wu people because they had too few masters. He and Taichi could not stop the Twelve Zu Wu. The remaining Demon Saints, including Jimeng and the other Demon Saints, were no match for the Zu Wu.
