Honghuang Town Yuanzi.

Chapter 62 Sealing off the Celestial Stars (Combined Chapter)

Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the sky, revealing a woman in palace attire.

The woman was dressed in a white palace gown, with a purple bodice embroidered with pale purple begonia flowers, a long skirt with a hundred flowers around her waist, and a light purple gauze shawl draped over her arm. A pearl hairpin adorned her hair, revealing her graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone. The pleats of her skirt flowed like the radiance of snow and moonlight, cascading lightly to the ground, trailing more than three feet long.

This woman was none other than the Queen Mother of the West.

When the Queen Mother of the West passed through the southern part of the prehistoric world, she saw a spiritual light emanating from this place and descended on auspicious clouds to investigate.

However, what she didn't expect was that Zhen Yuanzi had already taken the lead.

"Who am I to have gotten there first? It turns out to be you, fellow Daoist." Looking at Zhen Yuanzi in the valley, the Queen Mother of the West was slightly surprised, then stepped forward.

As soon as she entered the valley, the Queen Mother of the West caught a faint fragrance and exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of celestial treasure is this, that it has such a wonderfully delicate fragrance?"

Upon seeing that it was the Queen Mother of the West descending on auspicious clouds, Zhen Yuanzi smiled, stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Fellow Daoist, your arrival is perfectly timed. Please sit down and enjoy a cup of spiritual tea!"

As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi invited the Queen Mother of the West to sit down at the table. Then he took out a white jade cup, picked up the stove, and poured the emerald green spiritual tea into the cup, which faintly reflected a emerald green radiance.

"Fellow Daoist, please!" Zhen Yuanzi invited, pointing to the white jade cup on the table.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West stretched out her delicate hand, picked up the cup, and took a sip. She felt her primordial spirit become clear, and she faintly entered a state of enlightenment. She immediately closed her eyes and quietly savored the profound taste.

After a long while, the Queen Mother of the West opened her eyes and praised, "What a wonderful Enlightenment Tea! Fellow Daoist, you truly have a great opportunity."

"If you like them, fellow Daoist, you may wish to pick some to take back." Hearing the praise from the Queen Mother of the West, Zhen Yuanzi smiled and pointed to the Enlightenment Tea Tree not far away.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West examined it closely. She noticed that the Enlightenment Tea Tree faintly emanated wisps of creation energy, seemingly embodying the mysteries of nature. She exclaimed in surprise, "Such a wondrous acquired spiritual root exists in this world!"

At this point, the Queen Mother of the West seemed to show a hint of regret.

Zhen Yuanzi merely chuckled in response, not continuing the conversation, but instead asked, "Fellow Daoist, why have you come to the southern part of the prehistoric world instead of cultivating in seclusion overseas?"

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, the Queen Mother of the West put down the jade cup in her hand, sighed softly, and said, "Ever since the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu tribe stationed their troops at Buzhou Mountain, the overseas lands have become increasingly noisy and restless."

"I have come to this primordial world to find a blessed land of immortals for quiet cultivation."

Speaking of this matter, the Queen Mother of the West was quite depressed. Since the emergence of the witch and demon races, the originally quiet overseas lands have gradually become more and more prosperous as a large number of primordial beings and cultivators have flocked in.

However, with so many living beings and cultivators, all sorts of conflicts inevitably arise, such as vying for spiritual objects or seizing immortal islands, turning overseas lands into a chaotic mess.

However, the Four Seas Dragon Clan not only ignored the matter, but also began to associate with a group of spiritual cultivators, frequently holding banquets and exchanging various spiritual items and treasures with them through barter.

"I see." Seeing the Queen Mother of the West's slightly annoyed expression, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but chuckle.

That overseas land, which was known as a sacred place for overseas cultivation in its previous life, was so prosperous that it even seemed to surpass the primordial wilderness.

The three fairy islands of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou have not yet emerged, and the overseas lands are far from being truly prosperous.

"If you are looking for a secluded immortal mountain to cultivate in peace, I do know a place!" Zhen Yuanzi said.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West was initially taken aback, but then looked at Zhen Yuanzi with delight and asked, "Where is the place you mentioned?"

"In the past, I encountered a sacred mountain in the southwest, called the Kunlun Mountains. It has two places where the earth veins converge, one in the east and one in the west. Both are rare and blessed sacred mountains."

"Now, the Eastern Kunlun region has been occupied by the three Daoist friends Taiqing, Shangqing, and Yuqing as their Daoist temples, but the Western Kunlun region has not yet been occupied by any great supernatural being."

At this point, Zhen Yuanzi smiled at the Queen Mother of the West and said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you go to West Kunlun and become neighbors with the Three Pure Ones!"

"Xi Kunlun!" A hint of joy flashed in the Queen Mother of the West's beautiful eyes. She vaguely felt that this Xi Kunlun was destined to be with her, and she couldn't help but rise and bow to Zhen Yuanzi, saying, "This humble one thanks you, fellow Daoist!"

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

Since the last battle at Qingqiu Mountain, when Dijun and Taiyi returned to the Heavenly Court, they have continued to recruit Great Luo Golden Immortals and refine the Zhou Tian Star Banner, while also gathering a group of demon saints and demon gods to practice the Zhou Tian Star Array day and night.

In addition, Di Jun and Fu Xi continuously improved the Zhou Tian Star Array with the innate spiritual treasures Luo Shu and He Tu. In addition to the 365 Great Luo Golden Immortals and 365 Zhou Tian Star Banners, they added 14,800 demon kings with Taiyi cultivation and 14,800 Lesser Zhou Tian Star Banners to enhance the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

"Your Majesty, now that all 365 Great Luo Golden Immortals and the Zhou Tian Star Banner are in place, we can set up the Zhou Tian Star Array at any time to sever the connection between the Zhou Tian Stars and the Primordial Land, thereby weakening the strength of the Primordial Races and the Cultivator lineage." In the Lingxiao Palace, the Demon Saint Bai Ze said to Di Jun and Tai Yi in the hall.

Whether they are primordial beings or cultivators, all need to cultivate using the essence of the stars in the heavens.

Once the connection between the celestial stars and the primordial land is severed, over time, it will inevitably weaken the overall strength of the primordial races and the cultivator lineage.

"The purpose of setting up the Zhou Tian Star Array to seal off the Zhou Tian Stars is twofold: firstly, to demonstrate the divine might of our demon race's Heavenly Court; and secondly, to subdue the various primordial races, seize the immortal mountains and blessed lands, and thus strengthen the Heavenly Court's power." Di Jun's gaze sharpened as he said in a deep voice, "Therefore, this matter cannot be allowed to fail."

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the dojos of those great supernatural beings?" Ji Meng stepped forward and asked.

Di Jun pondered for a moment and said, "There's no need to seal off the dojos of those with great supernatural powers."

This move was intended to strengthen the Heavenly Court, not to create conflict with powerful beings.

Moreover, twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan were also watching them intently from the side.

"In addition..." Ji Meng suddenly became somewhat hesitant.

Upon seeing this, Di Jun frowned and asked, "Ji Meng, the Demon Saint, do you have any objections?"

"Your Majesty, besides the dojos of the great supernatural beings, there are also some immortal mountains and blessed lands with extraordinary origins that are difficult to deal with." As Ji Meng spoke, he took out a landscape map, which marked the terrain of a number of ancient immortal mountains, including the territory of the Wu Clan and the locations of the dojos of the great supernatural beings.

Ji Meng pointed to a sacred mountain above and said, "For example, this Peach Blossom Cave on Nine Immortals Mountain is the Daoist temple of Guang Chengzi, a disciple of Daoist Yuqing, and this Jade Pillar Cave on Zhongnan Mountain is the Daoist temple of Yun Zhongzi, a disciple of Daoist Zhenyuanzi."

Upon hearing Ji Meng's words, Di Jun's expression changed. No wonder Ji Meng said it was difficult to handle; it turned out to be the Daoist temple of Yuqing Daoist and the disciples of Zhen Yuanzi.

The other demon saints also changed their expressions. They had already witnessed the power and supernatural abilities of the Three Pure Ones and Zhen Yuanzi last time.

Even now that they can set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, they still don't want to provoke them easily.

However, before Di Jun could speak, Ji Meng continued to point to several immortal mountains and said, "In addition, there are Yunxiao Cave on Taihua Mountain, Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain, and Jinxia Cave on Yuquan Mountain. These blessed lands are all the Daoist temples of the disciples of Yuqing Daoist."

As Ji Meng finished speaking, Di Jun's face darkened, and a surge of anger welled up within him. He said, "Yuqing Daoist and the disciples of Zhen Yuanzi occupy blessed lands and grotto-heavens. Could it be that they intend to make things difficult for our Heavenly Court?!"

Seeing Di Jun's unfriendly expression, none of the demon saints and demon gods dared to speak up to advise him. Only Taiyi had no such concerns and said, "Brother, it would be best if we did not provoke Daoist Yuqing and Zhen Yuanzi this time."

Taiyi once fought with Zhenyuanzi, but even with the help of the innate treasure Donghuang Zhong, he still couldn't gain the upper hand.

It is evident how domineering Zhen Yuanzi's Chaos Undying Body is, comparable to the Ancestral Witch's True Body of the Witch Clan. Moreover, Zhen Yuanzi is wealthy, possessing several innate spiritual treasures to protect him, and can even set up an innate Yin-Yang Grand Array, making him truly difficult to deal with.

The Three Pure Ones are of the same lineage, each possessing extraordinary supernatural powers and abilities, making them equally difficult to deal with.

"Furthermore, the Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi, and the three great supernatural beings, Dong Wanggong, Xi Wangmu, and Hongyun, have very deep connections. Not to mention Xi Wangmu and Hongyun, Dong Wanggong's innate pure Yang Daoist techniques and innate pure Yang sword techniques are extremely extraordinary. Apart from my brother and me, even the Ten Great Demon Saints working together could not withstand him," Taiyi continued.

In the past, Taiyi had heard of the Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi, Dong Wanggong, west Wangmu, and Hongyun joining forces to suppress the Netherworld Demonic Sect, which shows the friendship between them.

The demon saints and Emperor Jun in the palace had also heard about this matter, and naturally knew that the Three Pure Ones and Zhen Yuanzi were not to be trifled with. Otherwise, Emperor Jun would not have given up so easily when he last attacked the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan of Qingqiu Mountain.

"Let's follow your advice, my brother. For now, let's ignore Daoist Yuqing and the disciples of Zhenyuanzi." Dijun took a deep breath and said, "All demon saints and demon gods, listen to my command! Immediately set up the Zhou Tian Star Array to seal off the Zhou Tian Stars."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Di Jun's tone was murderous, as if it contained supreme killing intent.

Clearly, this is not as simple as just sealing off the stars in the heavens.

They might even take this opportunity to attack and conquer various ancient creatures and races, and seize the blessed lands of immortals.

"We humbly obey Your Majesty's decree!" all the demon saints and demon gods shouted in unison.

At that moment, Di Jun and Tai Yi, along with a group of demon saints and demon gods, began to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array to seal off the Zhou Tian stars.

Even Zhen Yuanzi and west Wangmu, who were far away in the southern part of the prehistoric world, could clearly feel the divine light of the Zhou Tian stars spreading in the void, separating the three hundred and sixty-five Zhou Tian stars from the prehistoric land.

Then, with a loud "boom," beams of divine light from the stars of the heavens suddenly fell from the thirty-three outer heavens, striking the sacred mountains and blessed lands and breaking the protective formations.

"Di Jun and Tai Yi have a good idea. By blocking the Zhou Tian Stars, they can take the opportunity to attack a number of immortal mountains and blessed lands." Zhen Yuanzi looked at the void above and saw that beams of divine light from the Zhou Tian Stars were falling from time to time. He didn't know how many protective formations of immortal mountains and blessed lands were being broken by the Zhou Tian Stars Formation.

The mountain-protecting formation is nothing more than connecting the power of the stars in the heavens above and the primordial earth veins below, using these as its foundation.

However, now that Di Jun and Tai Yi have sealed off the Zhou Tian Star Formation with the Zhou Tian Star Formation, these mountain-protecting formations are unable to draw down the power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation and have already broken down by more than half. In addition, with the attack of the descending Zhou Tian Star Divine Light, they will be broken in an instant.

At this moment, even the Taiyin Illusion Moon Formation of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan of Qingqiu Mountain dimmed, losing most of its profound power. Only the dojo of the Great Supernatural Being remained unscathed.

"Di Jun and Tai Yi, they are planning to conquer all the races and cultivators of the prehistoric world!" The Queen Mother of the West frowned. After this incident, the overseas lands would likely become even more chaotic.

The more chaotic the primordial land becomes, the more beings and cultivators will venture overseas.

This is also why overseas territories are becoming increasingly prosperous.

"This move is probably not just about conquering the myriad races and cultivators of the prehistoric world, but rather about absorbing and integrating them into the demon race, since the demon race was originally formed by integrating the myriad races of the prehistoric world." Zhen Yuanzi thought of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan of Qingqiu Mountain and could easily guess Di Jun and Taiyi's plans.

Their aim was simply to annex all the races of the primordial world, integrate them into the demon race, make them members of the demon race, and strengthen the power of the demon race's heavenly court.

The demon race is both a unified whole and can be divided into a group of ancient races, including birds, beasts, scaled creatures, and even strange creatures such as plants, trees, rocks, and other beings that have attained enlightenment, as well as ferocious beasts, cultivators, etc., which can also be counted as demon race.

In short, anyone willing to join the demon race and obey the orders of the demon race's heavenly court can be incorporated into the demon race.

Otherwise, how could Di Jun and Tai Yi have gathered 365 Great Luo Golden Immortals?

"After this battle, not even one in a hundred of the myriad races of the primordial world will survive," Zhen Yuanzi sighed.

If the demon race makes a move, the witch race will naturally not remain indifferent. They will likely also launch campaigns against the myriad races of the prehistoric world, seize the sacred mountains and blessed lands, and expand their tribes.

This can be considered a clearing operation before the second war between the Lich and the Lich races.

This war between the Witch and Demon races is vastly different from the last one. Whether it's the Demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array or the Witch race's Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Array, their power far exceeds the imagination of the great supernatural beings. It is bound to be an earth-shattering battle.

This is not something that can be avoided by the mutual restraint between the Lich race and the Lich race.

When the immeasurable calamity begins, apart from saints, all living beings and cultivators who are caught in the calamity and entangled by its aura will be unable to resist it.

Not to mention the Lich and Witch races, who are the main characters.

The immeasurable calamity is also a calamity for all living beings. Countless beings and cultivators in the primordial world absorb and exhale innate spiritual energy every day. However, these beings and cultivators have extremely long lifespans, and their numbers are increasing.

Over time, countless calamities naturally arise, causing boundless slaughter and reducing the number of cultivators in the primordial world. Those cultivators who perish in the calamities can return to the world, achieving balance between heaven and earth.

This is something that even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not change.

Of course, with fifty in the Great Dao and forty-nine in the Heavenly Evolution, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Even if it cannot change the overall trend of the Lich and Demon races, it can postpone the outbreak of the Lich Calamity.

As long as Di Jun and Tai Yi refine the chaotic energy with the Zhou Tian Star Array to replenish the deficiencies of the primordial world, they can not only accumulate merit and fortune, but also postpone the outbreak of the Lich Calamity. In the future, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race may not be unable to preserve a trace of its vitality.

However, instead of doing so, Di Jun and Tai Yi used the Zhou Tian Star Array to seal off the Zhou Tian Stars, slaughtered all races in the prehistoric world, and formed a karmic bond with billions of living beings in the prehistoric world.
