Honghuang Town Yuanzi.

Chapter 45: Troops Deployed at Buzhou Mountain (Combined Chapter)

As he walked along, Zhen Yuanzi vaguely noticed that the palaces of the Heavenly Court seemed to be arranged according to the number of the Zhou Tian (a system of celestial bodies), corresponding to the 365 stars of the Zhou Tian, ​​and could vaguely be arranged into a formation.

"The Great Array of the Celestial Stars!" Zhen Yuanzi sighed inwardly. Di Jun possessed the innate spiritual treasure Luo Shu He Tu and was skilled in deduction, while Fu Xi was skilled in the way of array formations. With the combined strength of the two, they would be able to comprehend the Great Array of the Celestial Stars sooner or later.

Then, by refining 365 star banners with the essence of stars, and placing them on 365 celestial stars, a grand celestial array can be set up to isolate the celestial stars.

At that time, apart from the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, only a few powerful beings in the prehistoric world will be able to draw upon the essence of the stars to cultivate. As a result, if any race of prehistoric beings wants to cultivate with the essence of the stars, they will have no choice but to join the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, this Zhou Tian Star Array is one of the three great killing arrays in the primordial world. With this array protecting it, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race is as solid as a rock.

However, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu Clan is also one of the three great killing formations in the prehistoric world, and its divine power is boundless.

When the Lich and Demon races launch a massive war, the Heavenly Court will be difficult to preserve.

Zhen Yuanzi thought of the Heavenly Court in his previous life, which not only lacked the Zhou Tian Star Array, but also couldn't draw down the essence of the Zhou Tian stars, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

At this moment, the palace maid leading the way respectfully said, "Esteemed Immortals, this is the Lingxiao Palace. Please enter."

The group nodded and stepped into the main hall. The interior was vast and magnificent, with countless celestial clouds and mists swirling around it, and seven-colored rays of light swirling above the palace, radiating boundless brilliance.

This is the legendary Lingxiao Palace, with golden nails adorning its jade doors and colorful phoenixes dancing on its vermilion gates. The covered walkways and corridors are exquisitely crafted; the three eaves and four clusters of roofs are adorned with layers of soaring dragons and phoenixes. Above is a magnificent, round, and gleaming golden gourd-shaped dome; below, celestial maidens hang their hand fans, and jade maidens hold their celestial handkerchiefs.

There were rows of tables on both sides, on which various spiritual fruits and delicacies were displayed. Guests came and went, taking their seats, some enjoying the fruits and delicacies, others chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.

In the center of the main hall, groups of palace maids and fairies danced gracefully, their light silk fans and white orchids adorned with delicate jade belts and celestial veils. Their smiles were more dazzling than the stars, and they were all exceptional beauties selected from among thousands of demons.

It's dazzling and overwhelming.

"Di Jun and Tai Yi certainly know how to win people's hearts." Zhen Yuanzi guessed Di Jun and Tai Yi's thoughts with just one glance. They were simply taking the opportunity to show off the power of the demon race and win over a group of cultivators in order to strengthen the demon race's power.

"However, the benefits of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court are not so easy to obtain," Zhen Yuanzi said calmly.

In the future war between the Witch and Demon races, these cultivators who have been recruited by the Demon race will likely perish in the great calamity.

"Does it really take the demon race so easily to rule the primordial world?" Daoist Yuqing sneered and said, "In the future, countless karmic conflicts and disputes will inevitably arise. These cultivators who have been won over by the demon race may already be trapped in a calamity without even realizing it."

"What you say is very true, fellow Daoist." Dongwanggong wholeheartedly agreed with what Yuqing Daoist said.

Let alone a few Taiyi cultivators, even a group of great supernatural beings would be in danger of perishing if they were caught in the calamity.

Of course, Di Jun and Tai Yi went to great lengths to win over the cultivators this time, not only bringing out a host of rare spiritual fruits, immortal treasures and materials, but also some cultivation methods and supernatural powers passed down by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

For ordinary cultivators, this is nothing short of an opportunity, and they naturally flock to it.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Dijun and Taiyi, each dressed in golden robes and wearing purple-gold imperial crowns, smiled with a hint of majesty as they personally welcomed the great primordial beings.

Upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi, the Three Pure Ones, and the Eastern King Duke enter the main hall, Di Jun greeted them with a joyful expression, acting as if they were old friends he hadn't seen in years. "Haha, thank you all for coming, fellow Daoists! Please take your seats!"

"Greetings, fellow Daoist! Congratulations on establishing your Heavenly Court!" Zhen Yuanzi and Dong Wanggong bowed in unison, offering their praise, while the Three Pure Ones merely nodded.

Di Jun seemed completely unconcerned about this. Instead, he personally invited Zhen Yuanzi and the others to sit down before taking his leave and then greeting the other guests who arrived later.

As soon as Zhen Yuanzi, the Three Pure Ones, and the Eastern King Duke sat down at the table, several palace maids came over with jade platters, displaying spiritual fruits and delicacies.

One of the spiritual fruits had a very peculiar appearance. It was about the size of an infant's fist, perfectly round, and shimmered with wisps of starlight, looking just like the stars in the sky.

"What a strange spiritual fruit! It doesn't seem to have been produced by an innate spiritual root?" Dong Wanggong murmured, finding the spiritual fruit on the table quite peculiar.

"This is indeed rather strange." Daoist Taiqing picked up a spiritual fruit, examined it briefly, and then looked up at Zhen Yuanzi, asking, "Fellow Daoist, do you know the origin of this spiritual fruit?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhen Yuanzi.

The Three Pure Ones and the Eastern King knew that Zhen Yuanzi possessed the Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the Ten Great Primordial Spiritual Roots, and that he had always enjoyed collecting various spiritual roots and immortal herbs, and was extremely knowledgeable about various innate spiritual roots.

"This humble Taoist only knows a little about it." Zhen Yuanzi recognized at a glance that the origin of this spiritual fruit must be the fruit produced by the star spiritual root nurtured by the three hundred and sixty-five stars of the heavens.

"Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist!" asked Daoist Yuqing.

"This spiritual fruit is called the Star Spiritual Fruit, and it grows on the Star Fruit Tree."

Zhen Yuanzi pointed to the Star Spirit Fruit on the table and said with a smile, "This Star Spirit Root is not innate, but a spiritual root nurtured by three hundred and sixty-five stars in the heavens. It can produce three hundred and sixty-five fruits each time. Its wonders are no less than my ginseng fruit tree."

Although the Star Fruit Tree is not one of the ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world, it is similar to the Enlightenment Tea Tree, both being extremely rare spiritual roots and highly sought after.

The Star Fruits that grow on this Star Fruit Tree can not only enhance one's cultivation level and purify demonic energy, but also condense a Star Body and cultivate Star Divine Powers.

"So it's a Star Spiritual Root!" A look of understanding appeared in Taiqing Daoist's eyes, clearly indicating that he had heard of the name Star Spiritual Root.

"These Di Jun and Tai Yi are truly fortunate to have obtained such a stellar spiritual root," Yu Qing Daoist couldn't help but sigh.

"We certainly cannot underestimate Di Jun and Tai Yi." Zhen Yuanzi picked up a Star Spirit Fruit, put it in his mouth, and chewed it gently. He immediately felt a rich essence of the stars flowing into his lungs and couldn't help but sigh, "Besides this Star Spirit Root, I have heard that Di Jun and Tai Yi also have a Primordial Spirit Root. It is clear that the two have extraordinary opportunities."

Despite the fact that the Demon Clan Heavenly Court has only been established for a short time, it not only possesses the Star Spiritual Root, but also a Primordial Spiritual Root.

In addition, Di Jun possesses the innate spiritual treasure Luo Shu He Tu, and Tai Yi has the innate supreme treasure Dong Huang Zhong. They are all very wealthy, far surpassing many other great supernatural beings.

Innate spiritual root!

Daoist Yuqing paused for a moment, then asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, what innate spiritual roots do Dijun and Taiyi possess?"

"The Fusang Tree!" Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed with a glint of cunning as he mentioned the Fusang Tree. He thought that once the Wu and Yao clans were both severely weakened, he might be able to seize it.

"The Fusang Tree, one of the Ten Great Primordial Spiritual Roots!" Dongwanggong looked surprised. The Fusang Tree is a Primordial Fire Spiritual Root, which is of great benefit to the Primordial Pure Yang Dao.

Unexpectedly, the Fusang Tree was in the hands of Dijun and Taiyi.

"A mere demon child possesses such an opportunity!" Upon hearing about the Fusang Tree, Daoist Shangqing frowned.

"Junior Brother, be careful what you say." Daoist Yuqing glanced at Daoist Shangqing and said, "The rise of the demon race is the will of Heaven, and thus they have their own opportunities and fortune. Why should we envy them!"

The Taoist Shangqing naturally understood the Taoist Yuqing's meaning and immediately stopped mentioning the matter.

At this moment, Daoist Shangqing glanced at the guests in the main hall and did not see Hongyun, nor even Fuxi and Kunpeng, who were also great saints of the demon race. However, he did see Nuwa not far away.

"Why hasn't Fellow Daoist Hongyun come over?"

"Could it be that he is still refining a spiritual treasure?" Shangqing Daoist was slightly surprised. Given Hongyun's temperament, how could he miss such a grand event?

"I suppose Fellow Daoist Hongyun is currently refining a Dao-enhancing magical artifact," Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said, "That's why he didn't come."

Refining spiritual treasures is different from creating magical artifacts. The former can be refined at will, and if necessary, it can be refined again later.

However, the artifacts used for achieving enlightenment are different; once forged, they cannot be regretted, and must be carefully refined.

"Not only is Fellow Daoist Hongyun absent, but neither is the Queen Mother of the West nor any of our fellow Daoists." The Eastern King also glanced at the guests in the main hall and saw that he had never seen eight or nine out of ten of the cultivators who had come before.

Seeing this, everyone felt a bit bored and closed their eyes to rest.

However, it only took a short while.

"Fuxi greets fellow Daoists!" Fuxi entered the main hall and saw Zhen Yuanzi, the Three Pure Ones, and the Eastern King Duke resting with their eyes closed. He then walked over.

Upon hearing that it was Fuxi who had come, everyone naturally stood up and greeted each other.

"Fellow Daoist, why have you only arrived now?" Zhen Yuanzi noticed that Fuxi seemed to have a trace of the power of the stars in the heavens, and couldn't help but make some guesses.

"To be honest, fellow Daoists, I was comprehending the celestial bodies earlier, which almost made me late." Fuxi did not hide the fact that he was comprehending the celestial bodies.

"I see." Zhen Yuanzi looked enlightened.

After exchanging a few words with everyone, Fuxi took his leave and sat down next to Nuwa.

As all the guests arrived, the demon saints of the demon race entered the main hall together and paid their respects to the powerful beings. Emperor Jun and Taiyi then conferred titles upon the demon saints and demon gods.

Among them, the ten great demon saints, namely Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Fei Dan, Fei Lian, Jiu Ying, Shang Yang, Bai Ze, Qin Yuan, Ci Tie, and Gui Che, each commanded a group of demon soldiers and generals to guard a region. Below them were three hundred and sixty-five demon gods and a group of demon kings who each occupied a blessed land and ruled over a group of demons in the prehistoric world.

The next moment, the fortunes of all the demon races converged, and the fortunes of the demon heavenly court surged.

Such is the appearance of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

The guests in the main hall were all shocked, realizing that the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court had gained momentum.

While they may not be said to truly rule the primordial world, they are comparable to the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans, capable of dominating the primordial world.

........................

Di Jun and Tai Yi established the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, which was witnessed by the Heavenly Dao. They also invited a group of powerful beings to pay their respects and planned to confer titles upon a group of demon saints and demon gods, who would then govern countless immortal mountains and blessed lands in the prehistoric world. This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Wu Clan.

Among them, the ancestral witches Qiangliang, Shebishi, Tianwu, Yanzi, and Zhurong were all furious and clamored to teach the demon race a lesson.

"Hmph, the demon emperors Di Jun and Tai Yi established the Heavenly Court and appointed a host of demon saints and demon gods, vainly attempting to rule the primordial world." The ancestral witch Qiang Liang said angrily, "Could it be that they also intend to control our witch clan?"

It is perfectly acceptable for the demon race to establish a Heavenly Court and bestow titles upon a host of demon saints and demon gods.

However, Di Jun and Tai Yi's plan to take control of the primordial world angered the Wu tribe.

Once the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court takes control of the primordial world, there will likely be no place for the Witch Clan to hide.

"You little demon brat, you've gone too far!" The ancestral witch Zhurong, with a fiery temper, roared, "This time, we witches will teach the demons a lesson!"

"Let Di Jun, Tai Yi, and other demons know that this primordial world is not something that demons can control."

Zhu Rong's words were agreed upon by the ancestral witches Qiang Liang, She Bi Shi, Tian Wu, and Yan Zi.

"Brothers, the demon race has five Great Saints in charge, each of whom is a great supernatural being, as well as ten Demon Saints, who also possess the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. They are also on good terms with a group of great supernatural beings from the primordial world. They should not be underestimated." At this moment, the Ancestral Witch Jumang spoke of the strength of the demon race, and was especially wary of the group of great supernatural beings from the primordial world.

Although the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan possessed extremely powerful physical abilities, the great witches of the clan were also superior to the ten demon saints of the demon clan.

However, he still found it very difficult to deal with a group of powerful beings from the primordial era.

The other Ancestral Witches felt that Jumang's words made some sense. The strength of the demon race was indeed not to be underestimated, and they were on good terms with a group of great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world. It was not advisable to start a war lightly.

However, if the Witch Clan remains indifferent this time, wouldn't that embolden the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court?

"Although Di Jun and Tai Yi are acquainted with a group of great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world, our Wu clan has a legitimate reason for this attack and it has nothing to do with those great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world. Moreover, the five great saints of the demon clan have always been at odds with each other, and the Kunpeng of the North Sea never interferes in the affairs of the prehistoric world."

At this point, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming seemed to glance at Houtu and continued, "Moreover, the fact that Dijun and Taiyi have occupied Buzhou Mountain has already angered the Three Pure Ones. Those great supernatural beings such as Zhenyuanzi and Dongwanggong will definitely not help the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race."

Seeing this, Houtu also spoke up, saying, "As long as our Wu clan doesn't get involved with those great supernatural beings of the primordial world, I think those great supernatural beings won't care about the conflict between the Wu and Yao clans."

"No matter what, we, the Wu clan, cannot remain indifferent and allow the demon race's Heavenly Court to rule the primordial world," Xuanming said to Dijiang in a deep voice.

"Xuanming is right. Even if the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court has a group of powerful beings from the primordial era to help us, what do we, the Witch Clan, have to fear!" The Ancestral Witch Gonggong was furious when he heard Jumang's words. Why should the Witch Clan care about the attitude of a group of powerful beings from the primordial era?

Then they saw the ancestral witches Zhurong, Gonggong, Jumang, and Xuanming arguing.

Dijiang finally couldn't help but speak, saying, "Since our birth, although our Wu clan has fought with the demon clan, we have always been tolerant to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans in the past."

"But this time, Di Jun and Tai Yi have established the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, actually wanting to take control of the primordial world. If we do not react, I fear that in tens of millions of years, there will be no place for the Wu Clan to exist in the primordial world."

At this point, Dijiang's gaze sharpened, a hint of fighting spirit flashing within him. He said, "Brothers, immediately summon the great shamans of your clan and deploy your troops at Buzhou Mountain. Let the demon clan's Dijun and Taiyi know that our shaman clan is not to be bullied."

As Dijiang made his decision, all the ancestral witches rose and left the Ancestral Witch Hall, returning to their respective tribes to gather their great witches and the witch army, and began to converge on Buzhou Mountain.

In just a few days, the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan not only personally led the witch clan army towards Buzhou Mountain, but the other witch clan great witches also each led hundreds of thousands of witch clan troops to begin besieging and annihilating a group of demons.

The witch clan launched a sudden attack, catching the demon clan off guard and resulting in heavy losses.

Before the demon race could figure out what was going on, the twelve Ancestral Witches had already led their armies from all directions toward Mount Buzhou.

Along the way, they slaughtered all the demons, leaving the remaining demons to desperately retreat towards Buzhou Mountain.

In an instant, across the vast and desolate land, the two races unleashed boundless killing intent, their murderous aura soaring to the heavens, and the cries of battle echoing endlessly.

Inside the Heavenly Palace, halfway through the banquet, Zhen Yuanzi, the Three Pure Ones, the Eastern King Duke, and other powerful beings all stared in the direction of the Southern Heavenly Gate, their eyes filled with shock.

The sky was filled with malevolent energy, and the killing intent stretched for billions of miles, indicating that strife had broken out again in the primordial world.

"Such a dense aura of malevolence and killing intent! Could it be that the Witch Clan has stirred up a conflict?" A glint of light flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes. The last time he saw a similar scene was during the great battle between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.

Before the words had even finished, Di Jun and Tai Yi roared in unison, "How dare you, Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan, act like this!"

The next moment, Di Jun and Tai Yi each unleashed a burst of divine solar light that shot into the sky, shouting, "All you demon saints, quickly follow me to the Southern Heavenly Gate to meet the enemy!"

Di Jun and Tai Yi disregarded the guests in the main hall and led a group of demon saints and demon gods towards the South Heavenly Gate.

Upon seeing this, the guests in the Lingxiao Palace looked at each other, somewhat confused, while some cultivators who had been won over by the demon race turned pale and trembled uncontrollably.

"This is the attack of the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan!" Dongwanggong suddenly remembered the witch clan he had discussed with Zhenyuanzi earlier.

At this moment, it seems that the strength of the Witch Clan is indeed formidable, daring to attack the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan at this time.

The three Pure Ones all smiled.

"Haha, the Wu Clan has certainly vented our anger for the three of us." Shangqing Daoist couldn't help but chuckle.

"Ahem, junior brother, be careful what you say." Master Yuqing coughed lightly with a smile.

Despite Yuqing Daoist's words of caution, a smile appeared on his face, as if he were watching Dijun and Taiyi make a fool of themselves.

"Fellow Daoists, why don't we take a trip and see what supernatural powers the Wu and Yao races possess?" Zhen Yuanzi invited. "Furthermore, this primordial world does not belong to the Wu and Yao races. We must not allow the two races to shatter the primordial world. I have no desire to sort out the earth's veins again."

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Taiqing Daoist nodded and said, "What you say is quite right, fellow Daoist. We should make the trip."

The Eastern King Duke, the Jade Purity Daoist, and the Upper Purity Daoist all nodded in agreement.

The group then got up together and headed towards the South Heavenly Gate.
