Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 120 A Master and Disciple Worthy of the Little Golden Man

"Now you should understand, possessing the Hongmeng Purple Qi doesn't mean you can achieve sainthood. Perhaps he is merely a temporary possessor of the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

"If you don't become a saint, you'll end up being an ant. Even if he holds great power, what good will it do? Doesn't the fate of the Duke of Dong prove something?"

Hongjun looked in the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea and spoke to Di Jun with an expressionless face.

This also made Di Jun instantly understand the meaning of Hongjun's words. That is, even if he gave the Hongmeng Purple Qi to the demon master Kunpeng, he might not be able to achieve the Tao and become a saint.

As long as the demon master Kunpeng cannot achieve enlightenment and become a saint, what good will it do even if he possesses the same power as himself in the demon clan's heaven?
After figuring out the key, Di Jun bowed to Hong Jun and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. I now know what to do."

Emperor Jun did not hear Daozu Hongjun's voice again. When he looked up again, Hongjun was nowhere to be seen.

Knowing that Hongjun had returned to Zixiao Palace, Emperor Jun ordered someone to notify the demon master Kunpeng and asked him to come to Lingxiao Palace to see him immediately.

At this moment, Demon Master Kunpeng had just returned to the Demon Master Hall in Heaven. He was secretly delighted because the Styx Patriarch had failed to prove his Dao.

After all, the failure of the Styx Patriarch to prove his truth also brought some comfort to the wounded heart of the demon master Kunpeng.

On the contrary, if the ancestor of the Styx succeeded in proving his Dao, the Dao heart of the demon master Kunpeng would probably be shattered at this time.

Suddenly, someone came to report that Emperor Jun had asked him to go to Lingxiao Palace. Demon Master Kunpeng already knew what Emperor Jun wanted him to do.

Although his plan to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi failed, he had to do what he promised Di Jun.

However, at this time, Demon Master Kunpeng had no enthusiasm for establishing a demon cult. He was even just trying to fulfill his promise and was ready to do it perfunctorily.

So even though Demon Master Kunpeng came to Lingxiao Palace, his face was still full of disappointment. He first bowed to Emperor Jun, then spoke.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Dijun. Since I have already promised you, I will not break my promise. Once I have made some preparations, I will establish a demon cult and gather luck for the demon race."

Di Jun reached out and pulled Demon Master Kunpeng, bringing him directly to his throne. He then asked Demon Master Kunpeng to sit down with him.

This inevitably made Demon Master Kunpeng suspicious. Although on the surface, he was on par with the Four Emperors of the Demon Clan, that was only on the surface.

It can even be said that even the other three of the four emperors of the demon clan cannot compare with Di Jun in terms of their status in the demon clan.

Therefore, apart from Emperor Jun, not even Donghuang Taiyi would sit on the throne in Lingxiao Palace. To do so would be considered a crime of disrespect.

So Demon Master Kunpeng quickly stood up and said, "Fellow Daoist Dijun, what do you mean by this? Do you think I'm trying to compete with you for your position?"

Di Jun smiled and shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, what are you talking about? I let you sit with me because you have made great contributions to the demon race."

"Tomorrow, I will announce in Lingxiao Palace that you saw through Emperor Donghua's ambitions and eliminated the greatest traitor for my demon clan."

"He also established the Demon Cult to gather luck for our demon clan. From now on, your status in our demon clan is equal to that of this emperor."

"When Fellow Daoist Kunpeng attains sainthood, you and I will jointly rule the demon race. Let the demon race become the true overlord of the prehistoric world."

Hearing Di Jun mention the path to becoming a saint, Demon Master Kunpeng couldn't help but sigh and said, "Daoist friend Di Jun, please don't laugh at me."

"I couldn't even obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so how could I become a saint..." Then, the demon master Kunpeng briefly narrated to Di Jun the whole process of how he killed Emperor Donghua.

Although Di Jun had long known that Demon Master Kunpeng had not obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he could not help but show shock on his face when he heard Demon Master Kunpeng mention it.

"The Hongmeng Purple Qi actually disappeared out of thin air? Could it be that, as Master said, this Hongmeng Purple Qi already has a home?"

"In this case, the Hongmeng Purple Qi must have returned to Master. This emperor will accompany fellow Daoist Kunpeng to find Master in Zixiao Palace."

After saying this, he dragged Demon Master Kunpeng with him without hesitation, left Lingxiao Palace, and headed directly towards Zixiao Palace in the chaos.

When the two arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace, the gates were tightly shut. The overwhelming pressure prevented them from even climbing the steps.

Di Jun could only bow at the bottom of the stairs and say, "Master, I am your disciple Di Jun. I have something to ask you. Please open the door and let me in."

As soon as Di Jun finished speaking, the gate of Zixiao Palace opened. Hongjun's voice also rang out from within Zixiao Palace.

"Since you're here, come in?"

With Hongjun's permission, Dijun led the demon master Kunpeng up the stairs. This time, they were not stopped by any pressure and entered the Zixiao Palace smoothly.

After paying great respects to Hongjun again, Di Jun told Hongjun the purpose of his visit without reservation.

To complete the trick, Di Jun naturally portrayed Emperor Donghua as a traitor who wanted to seize the Heavenly Palace. Demon Master Kunpeng had no choice but to kill him in order to protect the demon clan.

As for him and the demon master Kunpeng, the purpose of coming to Zixiao Palace this time was to hope that Hongjun could circulate the lost Hongmeng purple energy and give it to the demon master Kunpeng.

The reason for bestowing it upon Demon Master Kunpeng was naturally because he had made great contributions to the demon race. And that primordial purple energy should have originally belonged to the Heavenly Court.

At this moment, Demon Master Kunpeng was extremely nervous. After all, he had no idea that Hongjun could actually cooperate with Emperor Jun and put on a show for him.

Therefore, at this moment, Demon Master Kunpeng kept praying in his heart, hoping that Di Jun's words would make Hongjun make the decision to give him the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

At this time, Hongjun naturally cooperated very well and stretched out his hand to grab at the void. Then he saw a primordial purple air flying in from outside the Zixiao Palace.

"Although I am in the midst of chaos, I know everything about the ancient world. There are some things you don't need to hide from me."

"Kunpeng killed Emperor Donghua, although he had the intention of eliminating the evil spirits of the demon race. But his real purpose was to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

"Logically speaking, not only should I not bestow the Primordial Purple Qi upon Kunpeng, I should even hold him accountable for killing my registered disciple."

"However, the fate of the Heavenly Dao rests with Kunpeng. He needs him to establish a demon cult for the demon race and stabilize the demon race's destiny."

"Therefore, this primordial purple energy will be temporarily handed over to Kunpeng for safekeeping. If Kunpeng is unable to use the primordial purple energy to achieve enlightenment within a kalpa, your master will take it back."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand at Kunpeng, and the primordial purple energy was directly injected into Kunpeng's body.

At the same time, they were sent directly out of Zixiao Palace. The gate of Zixiao Palace was closed again.
