Although Kunpeng agreed, Taichi still said coldly, "Kunpeng, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. If you want us to believe you, hand over a strand of your Primordial Spirit and put it into the Demon-summoning Banner." Then, a yellow-skinned gourd appeared in his hand. It was Nüwa's Demon-summoning Banner.
Kunpeng's expression changed greatly when he heard this. He said angrily, "Taichi, don't go too far. If you do, the Poor Way's life will be in your hands!" Kunpeng cherished his life. How could he put his life in the hands of others?
Taichi said coldly, "Are you sure you don't want to hand it over? Kunpeng, I advise you to think carefully before you make a decision. Don't regret it. " Taichi said as he played with the little bell transformed from the Bell of Chaos in his hand. The mana fluctuations were particularly strong. Although Di Jun still had a smile on his face, it was not difficult to see the strong murderous intent in his eyes.
Kunpeng saw this situation and hesitated for a long time. He gritted his teeth and agreed. He split a strand of his Primordial Spirit and let it be absorbed into the Demon-summoning Banner. His injuries that were not completely healed suddenly became serious. He secretly hated Di Jun, Taichi, and Nüwa. If she did not lend him the Demon-summoning Banner, he would not be in such a situation.
Di Jun saw Kunpeng hand over a strand of his Primordial Spirit and was immediately in a good mood. "Kunpeng Daoist Friend is indeed wise. Since we are close to the Daoist Friend's dojo, Taichi and I will escort you back. Also, this is the Upper Grade Innate Lingbao that we promised Daoist Friend. Please kindly accept it."
Looking at the High Level Innate Lingbao that Di Jun handed over, Kunpeng's expression finally became a little better. He was too lazy to be polite with Di Jun. Since he had already paid such a price, it would be a waste if he didn't accept this Lingbao. However, the hatred in his heart didn't lessen at all.
Di Jun and Taichi 'escorted' Kunpeng back to the Northern Underworld and publicly announced that Kunpeng had joined the Celestial Court and was conferred the title of 'Demon Master'. After that, they brought all the demons of the Northern Underworld back to the Celestial Court, leaving only a small number of demons in the Northern Underworld to guard the Northern Underworld.
Seeing Di Jun's actions, Kunpeng was naturally filled with hatred, but he couldn't refute it. Or rather, he didn't have the right to refute it. After all, his life was still in Di Jun's hands. Fortunately, the Northern Underworld still had some foundation left. Although the demons left behind were of low cultivation, the demons were now very powerful, and he believed that no one would have any ideas about the Northern Underworld.
Tens of billions of demons of the Northern Underworld joined the Celestial Court, and the strength of the demons of the Celestial Court suddenly skyrocketed. Compared to before the Great War with the Liches, they were even more powerful. In an instant, they made up for the losses in the Great War with the Liches, and the morale of the demons of the entire Celestial Court was immediately boosted. The only one who was dejected was Kunpeng.
He didn't get the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and even lost himself. Although he didn't die, what was the difference between that and death? The strength that he had painstakingly cultivated was suddenly swallowed up by Di Jun, and he still had to work for Di Jun. What was the meaning of this? He was now thinking about how to retrieve the Primordial Spirit from the Demon-Summoning Banner. It was not Kunpeng's style to be controlled by others.
No matter what happened to Kunpeng, Di Jun was very happy. However, there was one thing that had always been a thorn in Di Jun's heart, and that was the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Originally, he wanted to snatch the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Hongyun, but in the end, he had to fight with the Wu people and lost billions of demon soldiers for nothing.
Now that the demons' strength had been restored, Di Jun began to think about the Hongmeng Purple Qi again. In the Lingxiao Palace, Di Jun, Taichi, Fuxi, and many other Demon Sages gathered together again. However, this time, Kunpeng was added. Nüwa was not present because she was comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Di Jun opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, today I gathered you here for one thing, and that is the Hongmeng Purple Qi. The Hongmeng Purple Qi is now in the hands of the Ancestor of River Styx. I want to take it back. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Before anyone could speak, Kunpeng was the first to speak, "I agree. Dijun Daoist Friend, as the Demon Emperor, should enjoy the last Holy Position. If we can get the Hongmeng Purple Qi from River Styx, the demons will have two Holy Positions. Then, we won't have to fear the Wu people!"
Kunpeng spoke passionately, as if he was supporting Di Jun. The other Demon Sages all had strange expressions. Kunpeng had been forced to join the Celestial Court and hand over a strand of his Primordial Spirit. Kunpeng had always been at odds with Di Jun and Taichi, but today, he was acting out of character. It was really confusing.
However, Kunpeng's words were reasonable. If Di Jun obtained one Holy Position, the demons would have two Holy Positions. If Di Jun and Nüwa both became Sages, even if the Wu people summoned Pangu's true body, the demons would have nothing to fear. However, all of this was under ideal circumstances.
As the sage of the demons, Jimeng could naturally see the seriousness of the situation. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do this." After Jimeng's words, everyone looked over. Di Jun's expression also became unfriendly. Clearly, he was dissatisfied with Jimeng.
Jimeng ignored everyone's stares and continued, "Your Majesty, River Styx's strength is so strong that he can be said to be the strongest person below the Sages. If we want to deal with him, I'm afraid we can only use the Zhouxing Formation. However, Daozu once said that demons can control the sky and witches can control the earth. We can't fight again for ten thousand years."
"If we mobilize the army to the Blood Sea now, not only will we be going against Daozu's orders, but the Wu people will also do things irrationally. If they use this as an excuse to start another war, how will we deal with them?" After Jimeng's words, everyone fell silent.
Jimeng continued, "Although River Styx's only disciple and mount are in the Blood Sea, don't forget one thing. If the Blood Sea doesn't dry up, River Styx won't die. Furthermore, he has 480 million Blood God Clones. If we don't have the demon army, we have no chance of winning. Instead of offending River Styx for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, we should think about how to deal with the Wu people. If we can become the ruler of the world, Your Majesty can naturally use the fate of the Great Desolation to achieve Origin Dao Fruit."
Di Jun also knew what Jimeng said. In the past, River Styx didn't reveal anything during the Great Desolation. However, as more and more people went to the Blood Sea to search for Spiritual Items or Divine Beast Blood Essences, some information about the Blood Sea was intentionally leaked by River Styx. This was to intimidate the people of the Great Desolation. River Styx didn't want any random person to have any ideas about the Blood Sea.
Although Di Jun was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. River Styx's strength was beyond his imagination. If he could use the demon army to set up the Zhouxing Formation, he naturally wouldn't give up. However, this was the reality and there was nothing he could do.
However, Jimeng's words were reasonable. The demon race was originally slightly inferior to the Wu people. Now that the Wu people had Pangu's True Body, if they provoked an expert like River Styx, the demon race would probably be wiped out. As the leader of the demon race, Di Jun naturally knew what was more important.
Seeing Di Jun give up, Kunpeng felt a little regretful. He naturally knew what Jimeng said, which was why he encouraged Di Jun to find River Styx. Unfortunately, Jimeng saw through him. Kunpeng was also helpless. In fact, he wanted to see how Di Jun would be defeated by River Styx.
To be honest, Kunpeng didn't think highly of Di Jun at all. If there wasn't the demon army and the Zhouxing Formation, even with the help of the Taichi and other demon experts, they probably wouldn't be a match for River Styx. If River Styx wanted to kill them all, he might be able to kill them all. On the other hand, the demon race had no leader, so Kunpeng's opportunity naturally came.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Kunpeng's plan to borrow a knife to kill Di Jun didn't succeed. He could only give up. After all, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Kunpeng had always remembered the grudge against Di Jun, but now wasn't the time. Kunpeng could only endure the humiliation and wait in the Celestial Court for an opportunity to come.
However, when he thought about how to deal with the Wu people, Di Jun also had a headache. It couldn't be helped. Pangu's real body was too abnormal. The Zhouxing Formation couldn't stop him at all. Now, Di Jun could only hope that Nüwa would become a Saint as soon as possible. In this way, the demon race would also rise along with her.
However, Di Jun was also worried. As the leader of the demon race and had a powerful brother like the Taichi, he was naturally the leader of the demon race. Emperor Xi, Emperor Wa, and the Demon Master were all empty titles. All the power of the demon race was in his hands. However, if Nüwa became a Saint, things would be different.
The strength of a Saint was well known. If Nüwa became a Saint, she would be the first Saint of the demon race. One could imagine her status. Di Jun and the Taichi's strength was nothing in the eyes of a Saint. Di Jun was worried about whether Nüwa would seize power.
Although Nüwa didn't care about the affairs of the demon race and focused on cultivation, people would always change. Strength and ambition were directly proportional. As an emperor, Di Jun wouldn't allow others to fight for power with him. However, Nüwa becoming a Saint was the only way to deal with Pangu's real body. For the sake of the demon race, he couldn't stop Nüwa from becoming a Saint. This was the dilemma in Di Jun's heart.
