Primordial Era: I, the Spiritual Stone Monkey, was born ahead of schedule to seize the throne.

Chapter 45 Merit Reappears in the Late Stage of Quasi-Sainthood

Bai Ze and Ji Meng exchanged a glance inside the hall, but did not respond.

It's obvious that Yuanshi is trying to sow discord between their demon race and Qitian.

Although they knew that Qi Tian and their demon race were at odds, they still dared not interfere in these matters.

If they misunderstand, they can't afford the consequences.

However, they remained silent, but Zhunti suddenly spoke up:

"He really puts on airs, making so many of us wait for him alone. Does he think he's the Dao Ancestor? I think the demon race should remove this futon; leaving it here is disrespectful to the Dao Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged bewildered glances, but no one spoke.

His eyes, however, looked somewhat strange.

Like Yuanshi, it seems that Zhunti has a grudge against more than just Qitian.

These words implied something about the demon race, suggesting a deeper meaning.

Could there be some unexpected event on the day of the Demon Emperor's wedding?

The cultivators' eyes immediately lit up with gossip.

"Junior brother, watch your words!"

At this moment, Jieyin lightly rebuked Zhunti.

Just when everyone thought he was worried about offending the demon race or the Dao Ancestor,

Suddenly the topic changed again:

"How can Qi Tian be compared to the Dao Ancestor? Since the demon race has done this, they must have their reasons. Let's not interfere!"

"Senior brother is right, I also believe in the demon race."

Listening to the back-and-forth between Jieyin and Zhunti, Bai Ze and Ji Meng's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

His complexion also looked rather unwell.

These words seem to be directed at Qi Tian, ​​but they're putting the demon race in a very difficult position.

If today weren't the day of the Demon Emperor's wedding, they would never have let this go.

Just as the atmosphere inside the hall became somewhat awkward, another loud shout came from outside:

"The Demon Emperor Jun and the Demon Queen Xihe have arrived!"

With this loud shout, the atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed.

"Phew, finally here!"

"Yes, it's so oppressive! I feel like I'm suffocating!"

"Let's get started quickly, I want to go back to the dojo!"

"."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Di Jun and Xi He walked in hand in hand from outside the palace.

Emperor Jun wore a nine-dragon imperial robe and an imperial crown, exuding an aura of majesty and domineering power.

Xihe, standing beside him, was dressed in a phoenix robe, exuding a noble and dignified air.

Further on, there are Donghuang Taiyi, Xihuang Fuxi, and the demon master Kunpeng.

A group of demon gods and numerous demon kings followed closely behind.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, Fu Xi, and Kun Peng are all at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

Xihe was in the early quasi-sage period.

Three of the nine demon gods have advanced to the Quasi-Saint level, while the rest are all Great Luo Golden Immortals.

The terrifying and overwhelming power caused everyone in the hall to shrink their pupils.

This demon race has become so powerful without anyone noticing.

He secretly resolved that he must never provoke the demon race again.

However, the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti felt a strange sense of crisis.

One side represents the true lineage of Pangu, while the other side represents a powerful Western being.

Moreover, he was the future sage personally designated by the Dao Ancestor.

They also had some plans and ideas for what would happen after they became saints.

But now it seems that their plans were a complete joke in the face of the demon race.

Not to mention the witch clan, which is no weaker than the demon clan.

This made the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti start to plot.

Just as everyone's thoughts were racing, Di Jun and Xi He had already arrived and stood before the throne.

Di Jun glanced at Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, a hint of killing intent rising in his heart.

He had already noticed everything inside the hall.

These people seemed to be acting in Yao Ting's best interests, but they were actually putting Yao Ting on a pedestal.

This is an attempt to make his demon court offend the Dao Ancestor!

Its heart is awkward!

However, it's his big day now, so it's not appropriate for him to act out.

I could only keep this matter to myself and deal with it later.

With a thought, Di Jun smiled and looked at the cultivators:

"Today is the day of my wedding with Xihe. I am deeply grateful to all my fellow Daoists for coming to congratulate me. My Demon Court is extremely grateful."

"Fellow Daoist's wedding is a grand event in the primordial world; we have come to offer our congratulations!"

"That's exactly right!"

"You're too kind, Demon Emperor!"

"."

The cultivators all replied politely.

Di Jun's face showed satisfaction:

"Haha, please wait a moment, everyone. After this is over, I will discuss the Dao with you fellow Daoists."

At this moment, Nuwa suddenly stood up and walked between Dijun and Fuxi amidst everyone's confusion.

He then unleashed the red embroidered ball, and an invisible ripple spread out, instantly disappearing into the void of the sky.

At the same time, he shouted loudly:

"Heaven above, I feel that the primordial world is incomplete; isolated yin cannot give rise to yang, and isolated yang cannot give rise to yin. Therefore, I use the precious red embroidered ball to establish a heavenly marriage for Emperor Jun and Xihe, to establish the balance of yin and yang, and may Heaven bear witness!"

Di Jun and Xi He also bowed nine times to the heavens:

"We, Emperor Jun and Xihe, today wish to become Daoist partners, hoping that Heaven will witness our union!"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavens and earth trembled.

A huge golden cloud of merit gathered above the palace.

The golden light illuminated the Lingxiao Palace, making it appear magnificent and resplendent.

Immediately, everyone in the hall erupted in shock and exclamations:

"Ah! It's good karma!"

Why does the Heavenly Court bestow merit upon a grand wedding?

"What's going on?"

"I'm going back to get married too!"

"Let's pledge our allegiance!"

"."

At this moment, the golden cloud of merit above split into four.

One-tenth of it fell into the red embroidered ball, turning it into a meritorious spiritual treasure, thus increasing its power.

One-tenth of it disappeared into Nuwa's head.

The remaining two portions, each forty percent, were shot at Di Jun and Xi He respectively.

This scene made everyone extremely envious.

This is the second time that Di Jun has received divine merit.

Are the demon race truly destined to be the protagonists of heaven and earth?

The aura of Di Jun and Xi He, who had gained merit, surged instantly.

Xihe's magical power was the first to reach the peak of the early stage of Quasi-Saint.

He then unleashed the supreme innate spiritual treasure—the Taiyin Divine Needle.

He unleashed pure energy from his own primordial spirit, which merged with the spiritual treasure, and then severed his benevolent corpse, thus advancing to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

At this moment, a long sword imbued with imperial aura appeared above Di Jun's head.

The Heavenly Emperor Sword, a supreme innate spiritual treasure nurtured by the Heavenly Court.

With a slash at Di Jun's primordial spirit, pure energy emerged and merged into the Heavenly Emperor Sword.

Soon a figure emerged from the Heavenly Emperor Sword, bowed to the main body, and merged into the primordial spirit, becoming one with the final human flower of the Three Flowers.

Severing the Three Corpses from One's Own Corpse, late-stage Quasi-Saint!

Emperor Jun's magical power surged instantly, and his majestic aura caused the Lingxiao Palace to tremble.

"Hiss!"

Everyone in the hall gasped in shock.

They never expected that Di Jun would be able to use the merit bestowed by the Heavenly Marriage to sever his third corpse, his own self-corpse.

It should be understood that good and evil are easily born, but the self is difficult to sever.

To sever one's ego, it's not enough to rely solely on accumulating merit; one also needs clear thinking and a profound understanding of one's true nature.

"As expected of the Demon Court Emperor, his talent and charisma are unmatched!"

"Truly a ruthless and ambitious man!"

"Congratulations to the Demon Emperor and Demon Empress on another breakthrough! Double happiness!"

Upon seeing Di Jun's breakthrough, everyone naturally offered their congratulations.

However, many people are not what they mean.

Di Jun knew this, of course, but he didn't care at all.

With this breakthrough, he has become the undisputed number one person below the sage.

He felt as if he were standing at the pinnacle of the heavens, looking down upon all living beings.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor on your breakthrough."

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi, and the other demon gods and demon kings were also greatly excited, roaring loudly.

"Haha, everyone, no need for such formalities!"

"I was fortunate to be here. Thank you all for coming to witness the ceremony. Now that the heavenly marriage is complete, please enjoy the celestial wine and spiritual fruits. There's no need to be shy."

"Thank you, Demon Emperor!"

The cultivators immediately expressed their gratitude, and the hall became lively with clinking glasses and toasts.

Of course, some people are happy, while others are resentful.

At this moment, Yuan Shi was burning with jealousy, because Di Jun had advanced to the late stage of Quasi-Saint before him.

This was a slap in the face for him once again.

This made him secretly resentful.

Of course, not only Yuanshi, but also Taiqing Tongtian Jieyin Zhunti and other great beings felt uneasy.

Heaven's will is too biased towards the Demon Court.

They had never encountered merit, but Di Jun had already received it twice.

Moreover, he successfully severed his corpse twice with the help of merit, and is now the first late-stage Quasi-Saint below the Dao Ancestor.

That's so enviable.
