Chapter 307 Niu Ben goes into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal
Inside the Lingxiao Palace in the Heavenly Realm of the Demon Clan.
Emperor Jun sat upright on the throne, looking as if he were deep in thought.
"That bull... it's really lucky!"
"He also got a share of the credit for Cangjie's invention of characters."
Thinking of the scene where Niu Ben gained merit, Di Jun felt displeased.
Back then, Niu Ben had a very unpleasant falling out with the demon race in order to protect the two goddesses, Xi He and Chang Xi.
This incident later prompted the Holy Goddess Nuwa to personally intervene.
Originally, Di Jun thought that with the intervention of the Sage Nuwa, Niu Ben would have no choice but to obediently hand over the two Taiyin Goddesses.
Who would have thought that at the crucial moment, the Three Pure Ones would descend and side with Niu Ben.
In an instant, the demon race fell below.
After all, Niu Ben had three sages backing him up. Even Nuwa, the sage, was helpless and was eventually tricked out of a primordial spiritual treasure by Niu Ben.
Whenever he thought about this, Di Jun felt extremely resentful.
Since he took control of the demon race and became the Demon Emperor, he had never felt so frustrated.
Fortunately, thanks to the subsequent arrangements of the Sage Nuwa, he still managed to marry the Tushan Blood Fox from Qingqiu, thus completing their celestial marriage.
With the blessing of divine merit, his cultivation level also reached the level of a sub-saint.
Di Jun originally thought that Niu Ben, as the Imperial Master, would be involved in the war between humans and demons.
If that's the case, he can then rightfully teach Niu Ben a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Niu Ben did not participate in this battle; instead, other disciples from the three religions assisted the human race.
Today, Niu Ben has received a share of the credit for Cangjie's invention of characters.
In Di Jun's view, with this merit, Niu Ben's strength would surely improve, hence his worried expression.
After all, Niu Ben displayed unparalleled power in the battle of the East Sea, and even his second brother, Donghuang Taiyi, who was wielding the Donghuang Bell, a treasure he was born with, was defeated and forced to flee.
"Huff huff..."
Thinking it over, Di Jun took a deep breath and spoke in a light, cold voice:
"Even if one gains merit, so what?"
"Now that my cultivation has reached the Quasi-Saint level, suppressing him is a piece of cake!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure descended outside the Lingxiao Palace.
When they looked again, the Kunpeng man had already strode confidently into the main hall.
Upon approaching, Kunpeng bowed deeply to Dijun:
"Kunpeng pays respects to the Demon Emperor!"
"Um?"
Upon seeing Kunpeng arrive, Dijun frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and asked:
"If the Demon Master isn't cultivating in the North Sea, how can he have time to come to the Heavenly Realm?"
Although Kunpeng is a demon master of the demon race, he rarely comes to the Heavenly Realm and always cultivates in the Demon Master Palace in the North Sea.
Upon hearing Di Junyan's question, Kunpeng didn't beat around the bush and answered directly:
"Report back to the Demon Emperor."
"I have recently been comprehending the Great Dao, but my own cultivation has become somewhat stagnant."
"Your Majesty possesses the Hetu and Luoshu, which encompass all things and contain the wonders of the celestial sphere. I have come here to earnestly request to borrow these treasures to assist me in deduce my cultivation techniques, so that I may advance further."
As he spoke, Kunpeng looked straight at Dijun, his eyes full of pleading.
"Um?"
"Borrowing treasure?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Di Jun's eyes.
This Hetu and Luoshu are his most precious treasures, how could he easily lend them to others?
However, after thinking about it, Di Jun hesitated again.
In the past, he had invited Kunpeng to join the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, promising him the position of Demon Master.
In addition, Di Jun promised Kunpeng that he would help him obtain the Primordial Purple Qi from Hongyun.
It was under these conditions that Kunpeng agreed to let Dijun join the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.
Subsequently, with the help of several demon gods, Kunpeng intercepted and killed Hongyun.
Who would have thought that a series of unexpected events would occur?
Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi also made a move, trying to intercept and seize the Primordial Purple Qi from Hongyun's body.
There is also the Styx Ancestor.
Finally, even the incarnations of the Sage Tongtian and the Sage Zhunti joined in the struggle for the Primordial Purple Qi.
But no one expected it.
The wisp of primordial purple energy emanating from Hongyun was ultimately stolen by a giant tortoise.
In Di Jun's view, this matter was indeed a debt of karma that the demon race owed to Kunpeng.
If we lend this treasure to Kunpeng, it will be a good way to settle this karmic debt.
Moreover, if Kunpeng's strength increases, it will also be a good thing for the demon race.
After thinking it over, Di Jun came to his senses, a resolute glint in his eyes, and immediately said:
"Since it is what the Demon Master needs, I, the Emperor, shall grant it."
"The Hetu and Luoshu should be lent to the Demon Master!"
After saying that, Di Jun waved his hand casually, and two streams of light flew straight down in front of Kunpeng. They were Di Jun's innate treasure, the Hetu Luoshu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."
Upon seeing this, Kunpeng was overjoyed and solemnly accepted the Hetu and Luoshu.
Next, Kunpeng did not return to the North Sea, but instead chose a place in the Heavenly Realm and began to use the Hetu Luoshu to deduce and comprehend the demon race's script.
It draws upon the power of the stars to temper its divine will, combining its profound understanding of the demon race's bloodline, supernatural powers, and heritage with the trajectories of stars and the runes of heaven and earth.
"Boom boom..."
Gradually, countless nascent demonic runes appeared and disappeared like stars in Kunpeng's sea of consciousness.
Next, they began to try to extract the unique written symbols that best represent the origin of the demon race.
This process is extremely complex and extensive.
Without the invaluable deductive treasures like the Hetu and Luoshu, it would have been extremely difficult to complete.
……
Meanwhile, Niu Ben had returned to the Netherworld and immediately summoned the Five Ghost Emperors to come and pay their respects.
The main hall of Fengdu City.
Five powerful figures descended in succession, and then respectfully bowed to Niu Ben:
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
These five people were none other than the Five Ghost Emperors of the Underworld.
The Central Ghost Emperor Xuandu, the Eastern Ghost Emperor Huanglong, the Western Ghost Emperor Jinling Shengmu, the Southern Ghost Emperor Chijingzi, and the Northern Ghost Emperor Minghe Laozu.
Niu Ben nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the five people, and said calmly:
"I have summoned you here because I have important business to discuss."
"I have recently sensed that the opportunity for the Great Dao is approaching, and I need to go into seclusion for a period of time. All matters concerning the Underworld shall be decided jointly by the five of you."
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not disturb my seclusion!"
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, the five emperors were all startled and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Our senior brother has now reached the Quasi-Saint level. Is his current seclusion perhaps to attempt to break through to the... Saint realm?"
Xuan Du secretly suspected something, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Niu Ben.
At the same time, Huanglong Zhenren had the same idea as Xuandu.
"Is he going into seclusion to attain sainthood?"
"That's not right!"
"The eldest brother does not possess the primordial purple aura necessary for sainthood, so how can he become a saint?"
Master Huanglong muttered to himself, unable to understand what Niu Ben was doing in seclusion.
Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirits appeared to be deep in thought.
After a moment's thought, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes, and he exclaimed inwardly:
"Could it be that our senior brother intends to forge a different path, deviating from the Heavenly Dao, to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"
Upon realizing this, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit was greatly alarmed.
After all, attaining the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal is no easy feat.
