Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 68 The underground passage is perfected, and the Heavenly Court is established within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Seeing Pan Huang's reaction, Empress Pingxin nodded. She had been worried that Pan Huang might harbor resentment, but now it seemed that her thirteenth brother could understand her actions.

"Thirteenth Brother, Da Yi's true spirit has been obliterated, and the Ten Kings of Hell are still missing three. Do you have any suitable candidates?" Empress Pingxin asked Pan Huang.

"Let's find the remaining three from the Asura clan," Pan Huang said after thinking for a moment.

He couldn't find a suitable candidate, but adhering to the principle of keeping the benefits within the family, he ultimately recommended Styx.

"Alright!" Empress Pingxin nodded.

"Now that I know all my brothers are alright, I'll head back. There are still many things waiting for me in the human race," Pan Huang said to Lady Pingxin.

"Go!" Empress Pingxin nodded.

After returning to Shouyang Mountain, Chang Xi and Xi He went there. During the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, they returned to Taiyin Star, which was also Pan Huang's request.

They originally wanted to help the Wu tribe, but Pan Huang refused, because they were also in danger of perishing if they were not careful.

So after the Lich War, they came to Shouyang Mountain immediately. At that time, Pan Huang was blaming himself, so he ignored them.

Now that Pan Huang has emerged from the shadow of self-blame, of course they want to come and visit him.

"Why are you here?" Pan Huang asked upon seeing Chang Xi and Xi He.

"We're worried about you!" Chang Xi's eyes still held a hint of concern.

"It's all in the past, everything is in the past," Pan Huang said with a smile.

"Yes! It's all over now." Xihe nodded heavily.

……

"The focus of development from now on will be on the human and demon races. I don't need to worry about Seventh Sister and Fellow Daoist Styx in the Underworld," Pan Huang muttered to himself.

When Xihe and Changxi came to visit Panhuang, Panhuang took them out for a walk to relax. This was partly to ease their tension caused by the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, and partly to let them see how the human race was living now.

Because the next period will be the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, we need to plan carefully then. As for sages? Sorry, without absolute benefits, Pan Huang would never allow sages to interfere in the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period.

As for the development of the demon race, it's because of Little Golden Crow and his group. Now that Di Jun and Tai Yi have perished, Little Golden Crow and his group are the rightful heirs of the Demon Court, and all demons must take them as their leaders.

What the little golden crows need to do now is to gather the remaining power of the demon race, then recuperate and quietly serve the human race.

Nuwa Palace.

"Goddess Nuwa, my father has fallen. My brothers and I should return to gather the remaining demon generals and recuperate," the Great Golden Crow said to Goddess Nuwa.

"Go!" Nuwa nodded as she looked at the giant golden crow before her.

"Thank you, Goddess Nuwa." The Great Golden Crow bowed to Goddess Nuwa, then led the other Little Golden Crows away from Nuwa Palace.

After leaving Nuwa Palace, the Great Golden Crow and his companions headed straight for the Demon Court.

Upon arriving at the Demon Court, as expected, all the surviving demons were there, including the four demon saints Bai Ze, Ji Meng, Ci Tie, and Shang Yang.

"Greetings, Your Highness, and all the princes." Upon seeing the Great Golden Crow and his companions, all the demons seemed to have found their leader, and they excitedly bowed to the Great Golden Crow and the others.

"Why are you here?" the Great Golden Crow asked upon seeing Bai Ze and the others, his voice filled with anger.

In fact, the Great Golden Crow and the others knew that this was a legacy left to them by Emperor Jun, but Emperor Jun had never told them, so the Great Golden Crow and the others had to show this kind of emotion.

"Your Highness, this is the Demon Emperor's plan," Bai Ze quickly said upon seeing the Great Golden Crow's reaction.

Explain yourself!

"We are the foundation that the Demon Emperor left for the Crown Prince and all the princes to rise to power," Bai Ze said.

He then recounted the plan that Di Jun had discussed with them, and the Great Golden Crow and the others showed expressions of surprise and guilt at just the right moment.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" After the deaths of Di Jun and Tai Yi, Bai Ze's mind seemed to be a little fuzzy.

"First of all, we can't stay in the Demon Court anymore." The Great Golden Crow glanced at the still intact Demon Court and sighed.

In fact, if he had a choice, he really wouldn't want to give up the Demon Court, but he knew that the Demon Court was a hot potato right now, and he couldn't stay there no matter what.

"We can't stay in the Demon Court anymore? Then where do we go?" Ci Tie asked.

"Mount Ten Thousand Demons!"

Wan Yao Mountain is a mountain peak in the northern part of the prehistoric world. The northern part of the prehistoric world is the main base of the demon race. Wan Yao Mountain is actually the second stronghold of the demon race. However, since there was a demon court before, Wan Yao Mountain was not very famous.

Now that the Demon Court is no longer a viable option, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is an excellent alternative.

"Your Highness, the Demon Court is the foundation of our demon race. Are we just going to give it up so easily?" Ji Meng asked.

"Then what should we do? The demon race is no longer able to protect the demon court. If we continue to occupy this place, only extermination awaits us," the two golden crows said to Ji Meng.

"Let's go. His Highness is right. We can't stay in this Demon Court anymore," Bai Ze said calmly.

"Bai Ze, gather all the demons in the Demon Court. Let's set off now," the Great Golden Crow said to Bai Ze.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Big brother, are we about to start developing the demon race?" the little golden crow said to the big golden crow in his mind.

"Yes! But we can't be open about it now, otherwise, if we are exposed, things will get complicated for the main body." The Great Golden Crow thought to itself.

"All right!"

Soon, all the demons in the Demon Court gathered at the Lingxiao Palace.

Looking at the demons in front of them, the little golden crows were all surprised. Emperor Jun's generosity was quite impressive. Did he really leave such a rich legacy for the little golden crows?

"Your Highness, these are the star lords of the Zhou Tian Star Array. The original star lords who died were replaced by them. This is the foundation left to you by the Demon Emperor," Bai Ze said, looking at the Great Golden Crow.

"Hmm!" The Great Golden Crow nodded.

Subsequently, the demons left the Demon Court in batches. If they acted together, they would be discovered by the myriad races of the prehistoric world. Those races that were on good terms with the human and witch races might seek revenge for the witch race if they saw that the demons had such a powerful foundation. In that case, it would be a loss for them.

Upon arriving at the Primordial Demon Mountain, the Great Golden Crow immediately concealed the Star Lords of the Zhou Tian Star Array. They could not be exposed yet, as the Demon Race's current state had to be the same as the Witch Race's.

"Let's seal off the mountain. We won't leave Wan Yao Mountain for ten thousand years." The Great Golden Crow looked at the demon race in the northern part of the prehistoric world and a bitter smile appeared on its face. They were partly responsible for the mess that the demon race had made.

It's going to be difficult to develop it again now! Fortunately, we have the memories and experience of the original body. As long as we have enough time, it shouldn't be too difficult to develop the demon race again.

The news of the demon race sealing off the mountains quickly spread throughout the prehistoric world. Upon hearing this news, all the races of the prehistoric world knew that the era of the witch and demon had come to a complete end.

The primordial world may enter a relatively stable phase in the future, but there is also a possibility that it will enter an era of great strife, since there are ambitious races, not none.

After the demon race sealed off the mountain, a smile appeared on the face of Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao, who was far away in Zixiao Palace. Although his face was full of smiles, there was endless cold light in his eyes.

Because of Xuanmen Hongjun, he was unable to interfere with Buzhou Mountain, which resulted in Buzhou Mountain not collapsing. Pangu's will still exist in the prehistoric world, only now Pangu's will is not as strong as before.

"Come to Zixiao Palace immediately for a meeting!" After composing himself, Heavenly Dao Hongjun transmitted his voice to the group of saints.

After receiving the message from Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao, Laozi and Nuwa were the first to set off, as they were the only two saints who were not affected by the Lich War, while the rest were all affected by it.

After hearing the message from Hongjun, Yuanshi and Tongtian gave a bitter smile and dragged their heavily injured bodies to Zixiao Palace.

The Western Sect, including Jieyin and Zhunti, had only just recovered their physical bodies and their original essence had not yet been restored when they received a message from the Dao Ancestor. Helpless, they could only drag their heavily injured bodies to Zixiao Palace.

After arriving at Zixiao Palace, they sat on the prayer mats in the same order in which they had listened to the sermon.

Seeing that Yuanshi and the others were still seriously injured, Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao waved his hand, and several beams of white light flew into their bodies, and their injuries and essence recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

69 new books

In just a dozen or so breaths, their complexions became rosy, and their breathing gradually stabilized.

Laozi and Nuwa were shocked to see this. They thought that by becoming saints, they had narrowed the distance between themselves and the Dao Ancestor, but now it seemed that there was still a great distance between them and the Dao Ancestor.

They were far inferior to Daozu just now. That was a saint's original essence was damaged, but Heavenly Dao Hongjun restored their original essence with just a wave of his hand. What a terrifying ability that is.

"Thank you, Master!" After Yuanshi and the others recovered from their injuries, they stood up and cupped their hands in thanks to Tiandao Hongjun.

"I called you here today to discuss matters concerning the Demon Court," Hongjun said calmly, looking at Laozi and the others.

Laozi and the others exchanged glances. They remained silent, for they did not know what the Dao Ancestor meant, and therefore dared not say anything more.

"Now that the demon race has declined and Di Jun and Tai Yi have perished, the demon court cannot be without a master. I would like to know your opinions," said Tiandao Hongjun to Laozi and the others.

"What outcome do you desire, Master?" Laozi asked, seeing everyone bowing their heads in silence. He knew that if he didn't say something now, the Dao Ancestor would be displeased.

"This Demon Court concerns all living beings in the primordial world, and it possesses great fortune. It should not be neglected. What are your thoughts?" Heavenly Dao Hongjun said calmly.

"Master, as the leader of the Demon Sect, I will not comment on this matter." Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Laozi gave a bitter smile.

In reality, he meant to let the demon race continue to control the demon court, but seeing what the Dao Ancestor said, he knew that there was probably no hope for him.

"Teacher! I will teach the Antarctic Immortal to be a True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue, who can serve as the master of this Heavenly Court." Yuanshi hurriedly said, even referring to the Demon Court as the Heavenly Court.

Since the demon race no longer controls the Demon Court, it's no longer appropriate to call this place the Demon Court. Let's just call it the Heavenly Court instead.

"Master, my eldest disciple, Duobao, is exceptionally capable and can serve as the ruler of the Heavenly Court." Not to be outdone, Tongtian immediately brought up his eldest disciple.

"Teacher, my Western Medicine Master and Maitreya are my disciples with exceptional talent and high comprehension. They are also capable of serving as the rulers of the Heavenly Court," Zhunti quickly said, afraid that if he finished speaking, the Dao Ancestor would accept the opinions of Yuanshi and Tongtian.

"Nuwa, what do you think?" Seeing that Nuwa did not speak, Hongjun asked.

"Teacher, I do not establish my own teachings, and I only have one attendant and one maidservant under my tutelage, so it is inappropriate for me to participate in the discussion. However, I will always support your opinion," Nuwa said with a smile.

"In that case, I have some ideas. Please listen to them first." Heavenly Dao Hongjun nodded.

Then he waved his hand, and Haotian and Yaochi appeared in front of everyone.

"Greetings, Master! Greetings, fellow disciples." After Haotian and Yaochi appeared, they first bowed to Tiandao Hongjun, and then bowed to Laozi and the others.

Heavenly Dao Hongjun nodded, pointed his hand, and Haotian and Yaochi transformed from delicately carved little Daoist boys into a handsome young man and woman with extraordinary bearing.

"Haotian and Yaochi are my attendants. They have been with me for several eons. I intend to appoint them as the rulers of the Heavenly Court. Do you have any thoughts on this?" Hongjun asked, squinting at Laozi and the others.

"I will obey my teacher's command," Lao Tzu said first.

Nuwa then cupped her hands in a gesture of respect without speaking. She had already stated before that she would always support the opinions of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

"And you?" Heavenly Dao Hongjun looked at Yuanshi and the others.

"We will obey our teacher's orders!" Yuanshi and Tongtian quickly replied.

Jieyin and Zhunti struggled for a moment, still wanting to try, but when they saw the narrowed eyes of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, their hearts tightened, and they also bowed and pledged their support.

"Haotian, Yaochi, are you willing to take over the Heavenly Court and become its rulers?" Heavenly Dao Hongjun turned his gaze to Haotian and Yaochi.

"Master, your disciple is willing," Haotian said excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.

"Master, Yaochi is willing." Yaochi also bowed. She wasn't particularly excited, mainly because she didn't crave power as much as Haotian did.

"In that case, Haotian will henceforth be the ruler of the Heavenly Court, known as the Jade Emperor, and Yaochi will be the mother of Yaochi, known as the Queen Mother." Tiandao Hongjun said with a smile, directly deciding on the titles of the two.

"Haotian, this is the Kunlun Mirror, which I bestow upon you. Yaochi, this is the Ren Water Peach, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, which I bestow upon you. I hope that you will manage the Heavenly Court well in the future and bring blessings to all living beings in the primordial world. Do not disappoint me!"

"Master, your disciple will definitely manage the prehistoric world well and will not let you down," Haotian quickly declared.

Seeing this, Laozi and the others inwardly complained, but dared not say it aloud. The Heavenly Dao Hongjun calling them Laozi was actually announcing their arrival, not discussing anything with them.

"From now on, you will assist Haotian and Yaochi in managing the Heavenly Court and leading all living beings in the primordial world. Do you understand?"

"Yes, teacher!" Laozi and the others replied.

"Go! Haotian and Yaochi should go too, to take over the Heavenly Court." Heavenly Dao Hongjun nodded.

"Disciple takes his leave!" Laozi and the others rose, bowed, and then left Zixiao Palace with Haotian Yaochi.

"I hope my fellow disciples will continue to help me in the future. I am deeply grateful." Outside Zixiao Palace, Haotian smiled and cupped his hands to Laozi and the others.

Nuwa completely ignored Haotian and disappeared from the spot. Laozi gave them a cold look and also disappeared from the spot. You occupied my Demon Court and still want me to help you?

Yuanshi simply snorted coldly and then disappeared from the spot.

"My Jie Sect is full of unruly people. You'd better not come looking for my Jie Sect again," Tongtian said coldly before disappearing outside Zixiao Palace.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, gave Haotian a mocking look, and then disappeared from the spot.

After the saints left, Haotian's face instantly darkened. He looked at the place where the saints had disappeared, his eyes practically spitting fire.

He was appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the ruler of the Heavenly Court. These sages actually showed no respect to the Dao Ancestor. He would definitely report them to the sages when he had the chance, so that they would know the consequences of offending him.

"Haotian, let's go. Let's go to the Heavenly Court first." Seeing Haotian like this, Yaochi sighed in her heart and then spoke.

"Let's go!" After hearing Yaochi's voice, Haotian took a deep breath and calmed down.

Upon arriving at the Heavenly Court, Haotian was deeply attracted by the magnificent buildings before him. Looking at the buildings, something called ambition appeared in his eyes.

"This will be where we live from now on, hahaha!" Haotian laughed wildly.

After visiting the Heavenly Court, the first thing Haotian did was not to recruit soldiers, but to demolish some of the buildings that the Demon Court had built and rebuild them according to his own ideas.

In Haotian's words, the Demon Court is a thing of the past, and from now on this place will be called the Heavenly Court, so any trace of the Demon Court must not be left behind.

And so, Haotian worked alone for over five hundred years, and finally, a brand new Heavenly Court appeared beside him and Yaochi.

To be fair, Haotian had a very high aesthetic sense. After his redesign, the Heavenly Court was more magnificent and majestic than before.

"Yaochi, let's start recruiting soldiers now. I believe that it won't be long before the Heavenly Court becomes lively again." Sitting in Yaochi, Haotian held Yaochi's hand and said.

Soon, news of the reopening of the Heavenly Court spread throughout the prehistoric world. When they learned that the current ruler of the Heavenly Court was appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and was also a Daoist attendant by Dao Ancestor's side, the rogue cultivators in the prehistoric world took the lead in making their move.

Now that the Heavenly Court has just been established, if they join now, they might be able to get a fairly satisfactory position. If they join too late, they probably won't get anything.

Those independent cultivators also had another idea: joining the Heavenly Court was equivalent to indirectly joining the Purple Cloud Palace, since the current ruler of the Heavenly Court was a pageboy by the Dao Ancestor's side!

In this way, within less than a hundred years, most of the positions in the Heavenly Court had been filled. However, Haotian did not release some important positions, since the current people were not yet qualified to hold those important positions.

"Has the Heavenly Court been established? It seems the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is not far off," Pan Huang muttered to himself on Shouyang Mountain.

Upon receiving this news, the Great Golden Crow of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain thought the same as Pan Huang: with the Heavenly Court established, it wouldn't be long before the Heavenly Dao Hongjun would summon the Sages again to discuss matters, and then the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would arrive.
