Primordial Era: I, Huanglong, have refined all the heavens, and will not join the Chan Sect.

Chapter 93 The Demon Race is Defeated and Seeks External Aid

Buzhou Mountain.

"Houtu, we shouldn't have let these hairy beasts go!"

As Gonggong watched Dijun transform into a blazing sun, leading the people of the Sun God Temple away towards the Sun Star, his eyes were filled with extreme resentment.

In his view, now that the two sides are enemies, they should not let the Temple of the Sun leave so easily.

Given the strength of the Earth element, if it were to deliver another axe blow, even if it couldn't save Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, the Ten Demon Generals would still have to pay a price.

"Mount Buzhou cannot be offended. Let's spare their lives for now, and besides..."

Zhu Jiuyin frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. After a moment's pause, he said in a deep voice:

"Moreover, something seems amiss here. Judging from the appearance of Di Jun and the others, they don't seem to be faking it. I'm worried that someone is sabotaging this, trying to make us fight to the death with the Temple of the Sun, so that they can reap the benefits."

"Hmph! I think this is all a trick orchestrated by those feathered beasts themselves. Without their orders, how dare those bastards from the Temple of the Sun be so audacious?"

Gonggong snorted coldly, not finding Zhujiuyin's speculation difficult, but he didn't say anything more.

He knew very well that Zhu Jiuyin was a wise man of the Wu tribe, and he was far inferior to him in terms of strategy.

However, he had the most volatile temper. After fighting with the Temple of the Sun for so many years, and now being attacked by Di Jun and others at Buzhou Mountain, it would be strange if he was in a good mood.

He wanted to kill any creature that had a grudge against the Wu Clan or offended Mount Buzhou, including those from the Temple of the Sun, the Celestial Court, and other races in the prehistoric world.

"The Temple of the Sun dared to offend Mount Buzhou, so this matter cannot be left unresolved. However, to avoid others reaping the benefits, we should refrain from any major conflict until the matter is thoroughly investigated."

Zhu Jiuyin also understood that, at this point, it was difficult for the Witch Clan and the Temple of the Sun to reconcile.

The only thing he can do now is to slow down the scale of the war to avoid being outmaneuvered and taken advantage of by others.

"Zhu Jiuyin is right. This matter needs to be considered carefully. Our strength is already quite different from that of Di Jun and the others. If it weren't for Hou Tu's breakthrough this time, we might have suffered a setback."

As the eldest of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Dijiang quickly calmed down and supported Zhujiuyin's actions.

If Houtu hadn't fought Donghuang Taiyi alone, even if the twelve Ancestral Witches had been able to retreat to Buzhou Mountain, the Witch Clan members stationed outside would have suffered enormous losses.

Thinking of this, Dijiang felt a chill of fear, and his gratitude towards Huanglong deepened even further.

Unfortunately, they knew nothing about Huanglong's whereabouts or the location of his temple, so they had no way to repay this kindness.

"Alas! Fellow Daoist Huanglong gave Houtu such a great opportunity, yet he asked for nothing in return and left nothing behind, just like that. This is truly the mark of a highly accomplished Daoist."

"Those self-proclaimed cultivators are not even worth a single hair of Fellow Daoist Huanglong!"

Di Jun couldn't help but sigh, and made up his mind that next time he heard news of Huang Long, he would go and thank him properly.

The other eleven Ancestral Witches shared the same idea.

……

at the same time.

Cloud Dream Immortal Island.

"Such a strong fluctuation..."

Feeling the violent tremors coming from an unknown source, Huang Long frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.

Now that Hongjun's second sermon is almost over, the two sides that caused this great war are likely the Witch Clan and the Temple of the Sun.

It is estimated that when Di Jun and others returned to the prehistoric world, they discovered that all the beings in the Sun God Temple had been massacred by the Wu Clan, and even lost much of their territory. This is why they took action against the Wu Clan in anger.

However, the problem is that after listening to the second sermon, Di Jun and the others had already become quasi-saints.

Without the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, how could the Wu Clan possibly be a match for the Temple of the Sun? And how could they cause such a commotion?

"Could it be that the transmigrators' memories of the prehistoric era are not entirely accurate? Or perhaps..."

"My suggestion to Houtu led her to open the gate to Hunyuan and enter the Quasi-Saint realm? Is that what caused this unexpected turn of events?"

Thinking of this, Huang Long felt both happy and worried.

Fortunately, if Houtu did indeed improve her cultivation because of his suggestion, causing the Sun Temple to fail to gain an advantage over the Witch Clan.

Therefore, Houtu and the Wu tribe both owe Huanglong a huge debt of karma.

In the future, the obstacles encountered when planning matters concerning the underworld will be greatly reduced.

If handled properly, he might be able to manipulate things regarding Houtu's reincarnation, preventing her from falling into a situation beyond her control.

The concern is that if his actions cause a change in the situation between the Lich and Demon races, it might prompt Hongjun to intervene and cause some unknown changes.

But then Huang Long realized he was overthinking it.

"If I want to become a saint and revitalize the Underworld, then the future will inevitably change, so why worry about such things?"

Huang Long chuckled self-deprecatingly, saying that being timid and cautious are not the same thing.

Afterwards, he used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in Taoist practice) to return to the Cloud Hidden Taoist Temple and cultivate in seclusion, focusing all his efforts on refining the essence blood of the Ancestral Dragon.

Huanglong has done everything he could here. Whether the innate mirage can successfully take human form and become an innate deity depends entirely on his own destiny.

……

The Sun Star, the Temple of the Sun God.

Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the ten demon generals sat facing each other.

"Now that Houtu has broken through her cultivation level, her realm is higher than yours and mine. If she wants to gain the upper hand in the future battles with the Wu Clan, she must seek strong allies."

Di Jun frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then continued:

"The Dragon Clan is an ancient and powerful clan. Now that some of the problems with the Sea Eye have been resolved, their situation has improved, and they can send some dragon warriors to conquer the prehistoric world."

"The cultivation levels of the Four Seas Dragon Kings have almost recovered to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. If we can bring the Dragon Clan into the Sun God Temple, we can restrain several Ancestral Witches. What do you all think?"

"inappropriate!"

As soon as Di Jun finished speaking, Kunpeng shook his head. As a creature of the North Sea, he had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the dragon race.

"It is true that the Dragon Clan's situation has improved somewhat after the problem of the Sea Eye was partially resolved, but the Four Dragon Kings have at most just recovered to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection level."

"Furthermore, based on my understanding of the dragon race, the four sea dragon kings are currently unable to leave their respective sea areas, so the dragon race is not a suitable partner."

Upon hearing Kunpeng's explanation, Dijun couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

He had originally thought that the Temple of the Sun had indirectly helped the Dragon Clan in repairing the Sea Eye, overcoming the obstacles brought by various races in the prehistoric world.

In addition, given the friendship between Donghuang Taiyi and Huanglong, winning over the dragon clan will be much easier.

However, if the Four Dragon Kings cannot leave their respective seas, then there is no need for the Dragon Clan to prioritize winning them over. It is sufficient to maintain the status quo and prevent the Dragon Clan from joining the Celestial Court.

Since the dragon race is not the best choice, the only remaining targets for recruitment are powerful beings.

Di Jun, together with Kunpeng and Donghuang Taiyi, with the help of the power of the Luoshu and Hetu, made a decision after some deduction and deliberation.

"Let's go to Phoenix Perch Mountain!"

He then left the Temple of the Sun with Donghuang Taiyi.

Fuxi and Nuwa were among the most powerful beings in the primordial world. During Hongjun's second sermon, their cultivation advanced further, and like them, they opened the gate of primordial chaos and became quasi-saints.

If these two can be recruited into the Temple of the Sun, then in terms of high-end combat power, the Temple of the Sun will be able to rival the Witch Clan.

Of course, since Fuxi and Nuwa were renowned quasi-saints, Dijun would have to pay a sufficient price and share some of his authority if he wanted to bring them into the Temple of the Sun.
