Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation
Chapter 584 - 374 Dong Hua? Immortal Court?_2
CHAPTER 584: CHAPTER 374 DONG HUA? IMMORTAL COURT?_2
However, right after that, Shang Qing Tong Tian once again asked a question.
"Elder brother, have you already selected this spokesperson?"
Following that, Yuqing Yuanshi also immediately asked: "How exactly is this spokesperson going to control the Primordial Continent? Have you comprehended it, elder brother?"
Taiching Laozi, with a calm expression, did not speak, but waved his hand casually, and a silver-white water mirror appeared before everyone.
The mirror displayed a scene, a Human Clan life instructing another life in the path of cultivation.
Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian watched this scene and recognized that the Human Clan life was none other than their own elder brother’s only disciple, Xuan Dou.
And when they saw the other life, the two of them couldn’t help but whisper: "East King."
This being looked extremely similar to East King, even their aura was identical to that of East King.
At this moment, Taiching Laozi immediately said: "This is not East King, but my registered disciple, Dong Hua."
"He is a pure strand of East King’s Primordial Spirit, possessing some essence of East King, yet he does not have the memories of East King."
Following Taiching Laozi’s words, Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian had also deduced the origins of this Dong Hua, just as their elder brother had said.
"What does elder brother intend?"
Yuqing Yuanshi inquired.
Taiching Laozi’s expression remained placid as he looked at Shang Qing Tong Tian and slowly said: "Dong Hua is the spokesperson I have chosen."
Upon hearing this, Shang Qing Tong Tian, looking at his elder brother, couldn’t help but express doubt: "This Dong Hua is merely at the Golden Immortal Cultivation Realm, is he truly capable of bearing the heavy responsibility of being a spokesperson?"
Shang Qing Tong Tian naturally could perceive Dong Hua’s cultivation realm, and even deduce his potential.
Being originally a strand of East King’s Primordial Spirit, the Origin is not complete, and reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal level is mostly his limit, to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm would be even more arduous.
It was precisely for this reason that he was not optimistic about East King becoming the spokesperson in control of the Primordial Continent.
In his view, a spokesperson should at least be at the Quasi-Saint Realm to better control the Primordial.
"It doesn’t matter, I have already cultivated the Nine-Turn Golden Core, which can elevate his cultivation realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm."
"Once he can control the Primordial Continent, relying on the augmentation of fate, breaking through to the Quasi-Saint Realm is not impossible."
The Taiching Saint spoke calmly.
"Elder brother..."
Shang Qing Tong Tian seemed to want to say something more, but Taiching Laozi interrupted him, saying.
"Tong Tian, among the three sects of our teachings, is there a more suitable candidate?"
"Do we let my disciple Xuan Dou take up the role, or your disciple Duo Bao, or perhaps Yuanshi’s disciple Guang Chengzi?"
At this point, Shang Qing Tong Tian and Yuqing Yuanshi both stopped speaking.
After all, taking up the position of spokesperson is not necessarily a good thing; naturally, they were reluctant to let their chief disciples assume such duties.
In fact, Yuqing Yuanshi had another candidate in mind, one of the three thousand guests of the Purple Cloud Palace from the Chan Sect, the Vice Sect Hierarch Daoist Ran Deng.
However, considering that Daoist Ran Deng’s Dao heart seemed to have issues, and he himself was not favored by Yuqing Yuanshi, he did not speak up.
Moreover, it was more important that he felt a strong sense of resentment in Daoist Ran Deng’s heart, uncertain at whom it was directed.
Appointing him as the bearer of the responsibility of spokesperson was something Yuqing Yuanshi did not feel assured about.
Seeing that Shang Qing Tong Tian had stopped speaking, Taiching Laozi then turned his gaze towards Yuqing Yuanshi.
And Yuqing Yuanshi had already guessed in his heart, upon hearing his elder brother deciding on Dong Hua as the spokesperson.
"Yuanshi, I plan to let Dong Hua re-establish the Immortal Court, righteously inheriting the original three Immortal Islands: Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fang Zhang, using them as the foundation to control the entire Primordial Continent."
Taiching Laozi said.
Indeed, this was elder brother’s method of controlling the Primordial Continent?
Yuqing Yuanshi thought to himself.
Immortal Court, Immortal Court...
Yuqing Yuanshi, looking at his elder brother, began to persuade: "Elder brother, occupying the three Immortal Islands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fang Zhang does not necessarily require the name of the Immortal Court."
"Moreover, the Immortal Court has already perished; its reappearance might lead to adverse effects."
Yuqing Yuanshi paused for a moment before continuing to speak.
"Moreover, let’s not even mention the many Witch Clan members within Earthly Hell, those two Sages there would also have objections."
"Elder Brother, perhaps we should consider using a different name."
Yuqing Yuanshi suggested.
"No need."
Though Taiching Laozi spoke in a calm tone, the resolve in his words was clear.
He originally didn’t want to explain, but seeing Yuqing Yuanshi’s hesitation, he couldn’t help but speak.
"Now that the Witch Clan has withdrawn from the Primordial Continent, since they have withdrawn, they have relinquished the Fortune of Primordial, and are not to be feared."
"As for the two Sages in Earthly Hell, even if I do not establish an Immortal Court, my relationship with them could never be mended."
Having said this, a hint of coldness flashed across Taiching Laozi’s face.
Under such circumstances, Yuqing Yuanshi knew that his elder brother’s mind was made up, and it was impossible to persuade him otherwise.
Perhaps, the initial planning of the Immortal Court in relation to the Witch Clan did have a significant impact on his elder brother.
However, Taiching Laozi did not stop there, continuing to say, "With the existence of the Immortal Dao, the Immortal Court should not fall."
"Therefore, with the old Immortal Court fallen, a new Immortal Court, belonging to us, should be established."
Having said that, Taiching Laozi’s gaze fell upon Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian, and he spoke again.
"In the past, the mighty beings within Primordial knew that behind the Immortal Court stood I, Taiching Daoist Heavenly Venerate."
"Now in Primordial, with the reconstruction of the Immortal Court, inheriting the will of our Master, standing behind it are we three."
"We do not stand in the forefront, yet our presence is so evident, knowing that Dong Hua serves as our spokesperson."
"As he is the spokesperson, it’s right for the Primordial Beings to know who stands behind him."
Taiching Laozi said with a determined expression.
Although Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian understood Taiching Laozi’s intentions, they felt it was too radical.
But seeing their elder brother’s manner, they knew that no matter what they said, his mind was made up.
Perhaps, they should have stopped their elder brother from planning things with the Immortal Court and the Witch Clan in the first place.
Just like the Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint of the Western Primordial, they should have just waited quietly.
At this time, Taiching Laozi spoke again: "This time, in rebuilding the Immortal Court, we will not engage in the strife for dominance in Primordial but will control the power within the Primordial Continent."
Saying this, Taiching Laozi couldn’t help but look towards the Primordial Starry Sky.
"Perhaps, we should learn from the Demon Emperor, seek out the power that exists within Primordial, and take control of it in our hands."
Hearing this statement, Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian looked at each other and both nodded in agreement, saying, "Elder Brother makes a fair point."
The power controlled by the current Heavenly Court, though it requires fulfilling duties, remains the foundation of the Heavenly Court, blessed with Merit.
Just the many Star Gods of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, marking the passage of time, establishing the seasons, and so on, serve as a vast and vital foundation.
Taiching Laozi naturally wanted to emulate, and Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian greatly agreed.
They had long coveted the various powers within the Heavenly Court, which represented an endless flow of Merit and Fortune.
It was also because the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan were too entangled with each other that their Fortunes were entwined, with the Demon Name List immersed in Fortune, constantly being purified.
Just one more step, and it could become the Supreme Treasure of Fortune for the Demon Clan.
In fact, there was also something else Taiching Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Shang Qing Tong Tian had all considered but had yet to articulate it.
That was whether the establishment of the Immortal Court could affect or even usurp the power of the Heavenly Court.
Especially with the approval of our teacher Hong Jun, could they possibly force the Demon Emperor to give way?
This expectation was hidden in their hearts.
After all, that is the teacher, an existence in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, surely the Demon Emperor cannot refuse?
The Three Pure Ones exchanged looks, silently understanding each other.
Seeing this, Taiching Laozi said, "When Dong Hua achieves the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, I would request that you both join me in visiting our Master at the Purple Cloud Palace."
