Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 34 Yin and Yang unite, the celestial constellations reach perfection.

"Thank you, Goddess Nuwa, for witnessing my marriage with Xihe."

After the ceremony, having experienced a surge of power, and once Xihe had adjusted, Dijun took her hand and led her to Nuwa to express his gratitude.

"I am of demon race, so naturally I had to make this trip. This is a gift to congratulate you two on your marriage; please accept it!"

Nuwa bestowed upon Xihe a phoenix hairpin, a primordial spiritual treasure. After exchanging a few words with Dijun, Xihe, Taiyi, and Fuxi, Nuwa returned to the outer heavens, to the "Nuwa Palace."

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Sage."

As Nuwa's phoenix chariot took flight, all the great supernatural beings and immortals from all sides in the Heavenly Court rose to their feet.

After the goddess Nuwa left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more relaxed, and the guests present took turns to congratulate Dijun and Xihe.

Li Yunjing, Grand Master Xuandu, and Randeng, representing the leaders of the three religions, also presented congratulatory gifts. Although the Three Pure Ones did not arrive, their actions were extraordinary.

Laozi presented a "Nine-Turn Golden Pill," Yuanshi presented a small bottle of "Three Lights Divine Water," and Tongtian presented a pair of low-grade innate spiritual treasure jade pendants.

"Please convey to the Three Pure Ones that Emperor Jun thanks the three saints for their kindness." Emperor Jun and Xihe smiled when they saw the gifts presented by Li Yunjing and the others. It seemed that although the Three Pure Ones did not come, they had shown their respects and proved that they had no hostility towards the Heavenly Court. This was already a very good result.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is too kind. I will certainly convey your message." As the only Quasi-Saint, it was naturally Ran Deng who answered.

After the guests finished offering their congratulations, many celestial maidens from the Heavenly Court performed songs and dances. Many immortals moved around, constantly exchanging pleasantries with fellow Daoists from all sides. As a quasi-saint and one of the three thousand guests of the "Purple Cloud Palace," Randeng naturally had many old friends. For a time, only Li Yunjing and Xuandu remained around the table, enjoying the Heavenly Court's spiritual fruits, immortal tea, and immortal wine, listening to the celestial music, and watching the many fairies dance gracefully. They were quite peaceful and carefree.

However, this tranquility did not last long. Soon, some experts at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals came to Li Yunjing and Xuandu and greeted them. As disciples of a sage and experts at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, many people naturally stepped forward to curry favor with them.

Li Yunjing welcomed everyone with open arms, smiling and exchanging cups with various immortals. In the midst of their revelry, he got to know many famous figures from the prehistoric world, some of whom had actually escaped the great calamity of the witch and demon, and went on to achieve great success in the years that followed.

Originally, this grand banquet was to be celebrated for three months, but Li Yunjing and his group still took their leave on the third day. As disciples of the sage, their every move represented the sage, so they naturally could not take advantage of the Heavenly Court like ordinary immortals.

When the Three Pure Ones preached to the disciples of the three religions again after three thousand years, the Heavenly Court turned from bad to good and ushered in a period of great development.

Emperor Jun and Xihe were married, and their marriage was arranged by Heaven. The "Taiyin Star" was also completely controlled by the Heavenly Court, and all the stars in the heavens were under the control of the Heavenly Court.

"The 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array,' combining the power of 365 stars, with the Sun and Moon as the main star array eyes, has finally been completed today."

In the Heavenly Court, five quasi-sages—Di Jun, Xi He, Tai Yi, Fu Xi, and Kun Peng—gathered together to continue deducing the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array" using the "He Tu" and "Luo Shu." After 2,500 years, they finally filled in the flaws in the array and brought it to its limit.

Di Jun, full of vigor, laughed and said, "To set up this formation, we need to refine 365 'Great Zhou Heavenly Star Banners' to correspond to the 365 main stars in the sky. Then we need 129,600 'Small Zhou Heavenly Star Banners' and gather the power of billions of demons. Finally, we have upgraded this 'Zhou Heavenly Star Formation' to a level that can rival the power of a saint."

"Finally, we have the ultimate solution. When the Witch and Demon races go to war, we will naturally give the Witch race a surprise!" Even Kunpeng could not hide his joy. With the completion of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array", the Heavenly Court can rest easy. As a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Court, he naturally benefited greatly.

"Kunpeng is right! The legendary 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation' of the Wu Clan has never been used, and it has always been a huge hidden danger for us. But I think that with the power of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation,' even if the Wu Clan uses all their trump cards, they still can't be our match!" Donghuang Taiyi laughed, feeling extremely pleased.

"Now, we must pass on the new 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation' and have the ten marshals of Bai Ze lead various armies in practicing it day and night until they have mastered it completely!" Fuxi said in a deep voice.

"Excellent! While the army practices the new 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation,' we should also gather skilled craftsmen to quickly forge the 'Greater and Lesser Zhou Tian Xing Chen Banners,' using them as a foundation to prepare for future battles!" Emperor Jun exclaimed with delight.

"Yes!" The other four Quasi-Saints nodded repeatedly, feeling that after the Heavenly Marriage, the fortune of the entire demon race had suddenly increased significantly. Everything they did went smoothly, and they all felt that the Heavenly Way was on their side and that great things were bound to be accomplished.

In the blink of an eye, six thousand years have passed. The Three Pure Ones have finished giving their three sermons to their disciples, while the demon race continues to operate at full capacity, preparing for the final battle.

Recently, Di Jun's smile has grown wider and wider. The preparations in Heaven are going smoothly, and Xi He has also given him a huge surprise by giving birth to ten children for his three-legged golden crow clan.

When this good news spread, the entire Heavenly Court was overjoyed. The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun was born from a "three-legged golden crow". The entire golden crow clan consisted of only Di Jun and Tai Yi, making their population pitifully small.

Now, Emperor Jun has an heir, with ten princes born in succession, which indicates that the fortune of the demon race is becoming even stronger.

The entire demon race was thrown into a frenzy of celebration. Di Jun was overjoyed, feeling that this time, the great task was truly accomplished. As long as the witch race was subdued, with the fortune of the primordial world, he might very well be able to attain enlightenment!

At this moment, on Mount Kunlun, at the Sanqing Palace, three bells rang out, signaling the arrival of the millennia-old Daoist conference.

As disciples of the three religions gathered at the mountain peak, the gates of the Sanqing Palace opened with a roar, and the voice of the Taiqing Sage, containing ethereal Daoist sounds, emanated from the main hall.

"The once-in-ten-thousand-year grand discussion has arrived; disciples of the three religions, enter the main hall to discuss the Dao!"

Having received Lao Tzu's instructions, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, led by their respective senior brothers, entered the main hall of the Sanqing Palace in order.

"We pay our respects to our Master, Senior Uncle, and Junior Master!"

Disciples from the three religions knelt and bowed to the Three Pure Ones in turn, daring not to show the slightest disrespect.

"You may rise."

With a wave of his sleeve, the Sage of Taiqing sent a gentle, invisible force to lift up the disciples of the three religions.

"Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves—the three teachings are originally one family. Disciples of the Human, Chan, and Jie teachings should naturally be of one mind and support each other. Today's Three Teachings Discussion Conference aims to allow disciples of the three teachings to verify each other's learning and examine the results of their respective disciples' cultivation."

As soon as the Sage Taiqing finished speaking, the disciples of the three religions were eager to try, all wanting to show off their power in front of the Sage and bring glory to their sects.
