Chapter 571: Chapter 340: The Battle of Transcendence, Resurrecting an Old Friend!

Emperor Huang smiled.

“Your praise is too much!”

“The Demon Clan Heavenly Court established by my Dao friend in the past, cutting through eternity, dominating heaven and earth, making Myriad Races submit!”

“Later on, even if the whole world became an enemy, it still stood strong through tens of thousands of years in eternity!”

“Such feats, I cannot compare!”

Emperor Huang did not boast in the presence of Dijun; the Heavenly Court he established was not as strong as the Demon Clan Heavenly Court in a strict sense.

The Heavenly Court established by the Demon Race in the past was built through their own efforts, while the Heavenly Court he established was built through the miraculous powers of the Hong Meng Sealing God List.

Although the purposes of both were the same, the difficulty of the process was vastly different.

Now, the master of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, Dijun, has returned and praised the strength of the Heavenly Court he established, yet Emperor Huang dared not to take pride seriously.

Because the man before him dominated the entire Primordial era, relying on his own strength to sever the connection between the entire Primordial and the Boundary Sea, nearly cutting off the path of transcendence for all Primordial Beings.

He truly couldn’t compare to such achievements!

“All those are past deeds, not worth mentioning!”

Dijun waved his hand, indicating Emperor Huang not to flatter him, those deeds had become history, not worth bringing up.

Now was Emperor Huang’s era.

His era had passed!

Emperor Huang raised an eyebrow.

He felt that Dijun was being modest in a ‘Versailles’ way.

Although there was no evidence, all signs pointed to Emperor Huang showing modesty in a ‘Versailles’ manner.

“Demon Emperor truly is a Demon Emperor, such magnanimity, I admire!” Emperor Huang took a deep breath and said gravely, “Dare you fight me?”

Dijun was startled, then started to laugh.

“Why should I not?”

Emperor Huang was the Heavenly Emperor, and so was he.

He who is the Heavenly Emperor.

Fears no challenge.

“How about a discussion on the Dao in Da Luo Heaven in three days’ time?” said Emperor Huang.

“Agreed!”

Dijun looked directly at Emperor Huang, without a trace of fear.

“I will await you in Da Luo Heaven!”

Emperor Huang nodded.

Then he stepped forward.

And vanished within the twenty-ninth layer of heaven.

A few breaths later.

The Four Imperial of the Heavenly Court arrived.

Taiyi, seeing Dijun who had returned to his original state standing in the void of Da Luo Heaven, suddenly felt his eyes redden, “Brother, is it you?”

His voice was slightly choking, as if unable to control his own emotions, touching to those who heard.

The corners of Dijun’s mouth curled up slightly, sketching a faint smile, saying, “It is me!”

“Brother…”

Unable to control his emotions any longer, Taiyi flew to Dijun’s side, with tears blurring his vision he said, “I just knew…”

“I just knew that Brother, peerless and unparalleled, could not fall so easily!”

“Ha ha ha~”

“Brother…”

Taiyi wept tears of joy.

His feelings at the moment were beyond words.

So happy!

So excited!

So…

When Dijun fell back in the day, he felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Everything had lost its luster.

If it weren’t for the need to take care of the youngest of the Golden Crows, he would have followed Dijun long ago!

Now Dijun has returned from his tribulations.

He finally released the emotions suppressed in his heart for tens of thousands of years, crying like a child, completely unlike the mighty and domineering Gouchen Venerable that reigned over the heavens.

“Alright!”

“Brother has returned!”

“No more crying!”

“You are already the Gouchen Venerable! Such behavior does not befit your esteemed reputation!”

Dijun understood Taiyi’s feelings.

The two have been together since their birth in Ancient Times, later creating the Heavenly Court together… cutting across numerous epochs… facing the world as enemies.

At last, he perished in self-destruction, and Taiyi, along with the tenth Golden Crow, was sent away by him.

Since then, the two have been eternally separated, with no chance of reunion (excluding the occasion when Hong Jun invaded ten thousand years ago and the Corpse severed Dijun’s Harmonization).

Now that they have reunited, Taiyi’s suppressed emotions are naturally released, and he weeps with joy.

He understands Taiyi’s feelings.

Thus, he raises his hand to pat his shoulder, smiling and consoling, “Your colleagues are here, don’t cry, lest you be laughed at!”

Having said that, he turns to look at Houtu beside him, nods with a smile, and says, “Fellow Daoist Houtu, we meet again!”

The decline of the former Heavenly Court was directly related to the Witch Clan.

Later, by Integrating Body and Dao, he cut across countless epochs, severing the chance for beings to achieve Transcendence, facing the world as enemies, with the Witch Clan once more opposing him, and slaughtering countless members of the Demon Race.

This deep grudge cannot be explained away with just a word or two.

However, upon his return, seeing his former enemy Houtu, he harbors no animosity but instead looks upon her like an old friend, his face brimming with nostalgia.

A single smile dissolves all past hatred and grievances!

Whether this is true or not, only Dijun himself knows!

When Houtu sees Dijun, her expression hesitates slightly, but she quickly regains her composure and says with a smile, “Greetings to the Demon Emperor!”

She does not refer to Dijun as the Heavenly Emperor, but rather as Demon Emperor.

She is now one of the Four Imperial Authorities of the Heavenly Court; there can only be one Heavenly Emperor Supreme, and that is Emperor Huang.

To refer to Dijun as the Heavenly Emperor would be to disrupt the proper protocol.

Even though Emperor Huang would not mind, she, as a subordinate, needs to be mindful to not upset the established order.

“Time flies, the years slip by like a shuttle!”

Dijun, having once been a Heavenly Emperor, naturally grasps the implication behind Houtu’s manner of address. He smiles lightly and says, “The title of Demon Emperor belongs to the past! Fellow Daoist Houtu may as well just call me Daoist Dijun!”

“Hmpf!”

Houtu nods her head.

Afterwards the two exchange pleasantries for a moment and then fall silent.

Dijun smiles faintly, unconcerned.

He and the Witch Clan are sworn enemies, and although he does not seek revenge upon his return, the relationship between them remains what it is. Managing to exchange a few words is already good enough; he could hardly ask for more.

He glanced at Taiyi by his side, then turned to Yu the Great and the Shennong Clan, saying, “Although the Heavenly Court is said to have gathered members of the Primordial Clans, its essence is still that of the Heavenly Court of the Human Race.

Below the esteemed position of Heavenly Emperor, two of the Four Imperial Authorities are Human Race Great Emperors, while many other key positions are also mostly occupied by strong Human Race figures, holding authority in the Heavenly Court and higher.

The Human Race of this era has Transcended even the most glorious times of the historic Demon Race!”

Perhaps his words were too sharp, causing Yu the Great and the Shennong Clan to become cautious, their gazes towards Dijun no longer as friendly as before.

Seeing this, Dijun quickly explains, “There’s no need for alarm, I simply marvel at the strength of the Human Race and meant no other implications!”

“And besides, I have already arranged with Emperor Huang!”

“Three days later, we shall discuss the Dao in the Da Luo Heaven!”

“At that time, all of you may come to witness the event!”

Yu the Great frowns slightly, a look of surprise on his face, and says, “You and Your Majesty are going to debate in the Da Luo Heaven?”

“That is correct!”

Dijun nods.

Yu the Great wants to say more but is stopped by a look from the Shennong Clan. He holds back his inquisitive words.

The Shennong Clan speaks up with a chuckle, “A contest between Transcendent beings, we would naturally be honored to witness it. We will surely be there in three days!”

“Very well!”

Dijun nods.

He invites Yu the Great and the Shennong Clan to witness the event, as a natural way to bring Taiyi with him.

Otherwise, bringing Taiyi along might appear disrespectful to Emperor Huang, the master of the event.

He then lifts an eyebrow and speaks into the Void, “Emperor Huang, I wish to borrow the Taiyin Star for a use, may I?”

His voice is not loud, but it clearly reaches into the Da Luo Heaven.

“Granted!”

After a short while.

The voice of Emperor Huang comes down.

“Thank you!”

Dijun expresses his gratitude.

He borrows the Taiyin Star in order to resurrect friends from the past; if it weren’t for Emperor Huang’s consent, it would have been difficult for him to proceed directly.

Later, after exchanging a few words with Yu the Great and others, he takes Taiyi towards the Taiyin Star.

He has now stepped into Transcendence.

Resurrecting old friends before leaving, perhaps, is his way of resolving the regrets in his heart!
