124: Chapter 124 The Head of Male Immortals, Demonic Schemes

Inside Zixiao Palace, Hongjun hesitated slightly. His gaze swept across the Innate Sacred Beings below, a hint of resolve flashing in his heart.

Regarding certain external matters, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to make that decision.

He was unwilling to destroy a treasure like the jade disc of creation, nor did he dare to gamble with his life like Rahu, taking the entire Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World out of the Primordial World.

Once an accident occurred, it would be a true fall, turning to ash and smoke, with no chance of a comeback.

Given the current situation, if he continued like this, there would only be one outcome: the gains of the non-Demonic Path Innate Sacred Beings would be far inferior to those of the Demonic Path.

In that case, it would be better to keep the majority of beings at the same level.

With this thought, the speed of his preaching became even more fluid.

From time to time, he even used his own Saint Dao to evolve the path of a Quasi-Saint.

Jidu felt this Great Dao and also communicated with his original body.

It had to be said that Hongjun's methods were extremely sophisticated.

The path of a Quasi-Saint lay in the Three Corpses; by severing them, one could see their true nature and take a step further.

Each time a corpse was severed, the speed at which one fused with the Heavenly Dao would increase, and the Three Corpses severed by Innate Spirit Treasures would carry the Great Dao one had fused with.

Once all Three Corpses were severed, it was equivalent to completely fusing with a full Great Dao, becoming an Incarnation of that Great Dao within the Primordial World.

However, there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

What exactly was the Dao that Hongjun fused with? Was it the Dao of Balance contained within heaven and earth, or the Immortal Dao he had created himself?

Now that the Quasi-Saint Realm was achieved, what level was a Saint, and how mysterious was it? Furthermore, was this path truly without flaws?

He continued to deduce as time slowly passed, and Hongjun finally finished explaining the path of the Quasi-Saint.

His gaze fell upon the Innate Sacred Beings, then the Demon Lords of the Demonic Path, and finally toward East King Duke.

This one still couldn't be abandoned. Logically, if he chose the Wu Clan and let them compete with the Heavenly Court, the chances were indeed quite high.

With Rahu's methods, he could probably fool them into a daze.

There were far too few members of the Wu Clan skilled in calculation; they relied on their fists at the same Realm, and at different Realms, they relied on Karma and Pangu's legacy.

With these things, even he would have to consider the price before taking action against the Wu Clan.

Falling from the Saint position would be the least of it; otherwise, he might even face Heavenly Punishment.

As for other races and beings, most had no ability to contend with the Heavenly Court at all.

For the few exceptions, the original Dijun and Taiyi would have been good for dealing with Jidu.

But That One had directly pulled them onto the same boat, which made things a bit difficult.

As for the remaining beings, wanting to suppress the development of the Heavenly Court... heh.

Those with good Aptitude joined the Demonic Path and were already members; the useless ones with poor Aptitude, even if he was a Saint and gave them cheats, couldn't match the foundation the Demonic Path had built over countless years.

East King Duke, no matter what, was the best among the mediocre.

Thinking of this, a hint of determination appeared in his eyes; he still had to nurture him after all.

Even if his strength was still insufficient after being nurtured, as long as it slowed the growth of the Demonic Path, it would be enough.

Otherwise, if the Demonic Path unified the Primordial World at extreme speed and usurped the position at the last moment, replacing the Heavenly Heart with their own heart and perfecting the position of Heavenly Emperor, not even he, a Saint, or even the Heavenly Dao could suppress them.

He looked at the Innate Sacred Beings below and said in a deep voice:

"The world is in chaos, and races large and small are filled with slaughter. As a Saint of this world, my heart is deeply pained."

"If this continues, the Primordial World will surely grow weaker. I have decided to choose a manager to oversee the many immortals and gods of the Primordial World. East King Duke, from this day forward, you shall be the Head of Male Immortals."

"Thank you, Saint."

East King Duke said with an excited face. With the Saint's public appointment, his establishment of the Heavenly Court would be truly legitimate.

Hongjun didn't stop there. He looked at a female immortal and spoke slowly:

"Queen Mother of the West, you shall be the Head of Female Immortals, assisting East King Duke in managing the Primordial World. I do not wish for this chaos to continue."

"Today, I shall bestow upon you two Magic Treasures."

As he spoke, he took out a dragon head staff and an ancient mirror. Both treasures radiated the aura of an Innate Spirit Treasure.

East King Duke looked at the Magic Treasure in his hand with great satisfaction, his Peak Daluo aura flaring out, pressuring the surrounding Innate Sacred Beings.

Only Jidu had a smile playing on his lips. Interesting, truly interesting.

He, for one, would ignore this command.

Male immortals, female immortals—what did that have to do with them, the Innate Sacred Beings?

Innate Sacred Beings had no inherent gender; they could be Yin or Yang, male or female, depending on which form they were accustomed to.

The Demon Lords below also showed faint smiles.

They were familiar with how to deal with this tactic; the Succubus Clan had used it before, and they were the least rigid when it came to the concept of gender.
