125: Chapter 125 Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, you should think this through carefully.

Inside Zixiao Palace, the experts of the Demonic Path said no more, watching East King Duke's excited expression with a hint of mockery in their eyes.

This fellow had only one true purpose: to prevent Daoist Jidu, an Incarnation of the Demon Ancestor, from becoming the true Heavenly Emperor.

To cause trouble for him and prevent the Demonic Path from developing so quickly in the shadows.

This was the most important role for this Lord Immortal Emperor.

Otherwise, did he really think the Immortal Court could contend with the Heavenly Court, which had the Demonic Path as its backing? Unless the Immortal Emperor were Hongjun himself.

He knew this, so the purpose of establishing the Immortal Court was not to determine a winner against the Demonic Path.

In this regard, the Immortal Court was not worthy.

Inside Zixiao Palace, Hongjun still felt something was amiss. He looked down at the Innate Sacred Beings; aside from those from the Demonic Path using alternate identities, the others were not few in number.

Most of these beings had no future path to follow.

By practicing step-by-step, there was a slim chance of becoming a Quasi-Saint, but becoming a Saint was completely impossible.

In the realm of Saints, there is a fixed number of positions in this world. One must gather infinite Luck, combine it with the Dao they have fused with, and condense the power of a supreme status.

This is the position of a Saint; once ascended, one can achieve the realm of a Saint.

Thinking of this, he looked at the Innate Sacred Beings and spoke indifferently:

"I hope you all will follow the lead of East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West, assisting them in properly managing the Primordial World."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of many ordinary Innate Sacred Beings below immediately lit up.

Since he said so, this Saint was clearly showing support for East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West. With the support of these two, how could the Immortal Court not flourish?

Their gazes turned toward East King Duke, their minds already made up to join the Heavenly Court.

Daoist Jidu watched this scene, his expression remaining normal. If it were just relying on a waste like East King Duke, it would be far too boring.

Hongjun's support might bring a glimmer of life to the development of his Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, without competition, if the Heavenly Court had no rivals, what use would it be?

Sometimes, battle and competition are also a form of Opportunity.

After the struggle of the Innate Fierce Beasts and his tribulation to reach Hunyuan, how many more powerful beings had emerged?

The more competition and the fiercer the battles, the more they would hold the advantage in low-level combat when the Xuanhuang Great World was brought into the Primordial World in the future.

It was not even impossible for a few Hunyuan beings to emerge at the very end.

However, this matter was not easy at all. That Xuanhuang Dao Venerable had brought the Xuanhuang Great World and several other worlds to the Outer Great Chaos, not far from the Primordial World.

Yet they showed no sign of urgency, only making full preparations.

The act of immediately pushing a world to merge upon encountering another was not very common in Chaos.

Such a situation would only occur if the other world had no powerful experts presiding over it.

Otherwise, every Hunyuan Expert and every World Master is extremely cautious. Under normal circumstances, even if they knew the coordinates of the other world, they would not let the two worlds collide.

At this moment, in Zixiao Palace, with the announcement of the Head of Male Immortals, this sermon officially ended. As for the next one, that would be after three thousand Yuanhuis.

Only Dijun had a trace of unwillingness on his Face, though he knew in his heart that if Hongjun gave East King Duke a boost, he would certainly be no match with his current means.

After all, he was extremely clear about the situation of the Heavenly Court; it was almost divided into two factions, and for him, the Lord Heavenly Emperor, it was purely optional.

Those Innate Sacred Beings of the Endless Starry Sky followed him as their lord on the surface, but in reality, they centered around Daoist Ziwei under the Star Mother Supreme Sovereign.

As for the rest, those so-called Loose Cultivator Daluo under Jidu, he had even less control over them; they completely followed the instructions of Daoist Jidu.

Within the Inner Chaos, Dijun looked at Jidu beside him and asked very humbly:

"Fellow Daoist Jidu, as the grand steward of the heavenly court, are you really going to watch my Heavenly Court decline like this?"

"That East King Duke has received the Saint's favor. I fear many Innate Sacred Beings will join his Immortal Court. By then, my Heavenly Court will be at a disadvantage."

Daoist Jidu chuckled, "Haha, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, there is no need to worry. So what if he has these? East King Duke has no power base under him, and his only Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land is Penglai."

"Heh, it looks good, with dense Spiritual Qi and even the lingering Dao rhymes of Chaos, but has Your Majesty forgotten that the cultivation of us Innate Sacred Beings lies in Karma and Luck?"

"With just him, where would those things come from?"

There was a hint of disdain in Jidu's tone. Among those ordinary Innate Sacred Beings, how many were top-tier? The truly top-tier ones, such as Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones, had all joined the Demonic Path.

Dijun and Taiyi had also been pulled onto the ship of the Heavenly Court by him. Even if there were any others left, they were extremely rare.

The current Heavenly Court looked like the Heavenly Court, but in reality, it was the base of his Demonic Path.

East King Duke's so-called advantage now was just that; it couldn't even be considered a real advantage.

Moreover, how could his Demonic Path lack foundation? If he wanted to, he could go directly to the West and win over a large number of Innate Sacred Beings, and the Formation shrouding the entire West would completely recover once again.

No matter how many advantages there were, so what?

East King Duke was merely someone Hongjun used because he didn't want Jidu to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, but Jidu himself had no intention of sitting in that position.

After all, as the current grand steward of the heavenly court, whatever he did in the Primordial World that caused great damage to the world, the one who would suffer the most would be the one at the top.

He could bear the remaining cost.

Once he truly became the Heavenly Emperor, he would have to be the one at the front.

At this moment, while he was communicating with Dijun and Taiyi, East King Duke's voice rang out in the Chaos.

"Fellow Daoist Jidu, I trust you have been well. Your strength is formidable; are you willing to be used by me?"

In the Inner Chaos, Dijun and Taiyi were stunned. East King Duke was actually inviting Jidu? How did he dare? Was he not afraid the Immortal Court would be shaped into Jidu's image?"

Jidu looked toward a certain spot in the Inner Chaos, and East King Duke's figure slowly emerged.

Looking at the smug and confident East King Duke before him, he gave a faint smile.

"Heh, I think I'll pass. How can I serve two masters? Fellow Daoist East King Duke, you should give up on this idea."

Jidu said with a faint smile. East King Duke ultimately failed to understand the situation and didn't know the inside story. Did he really think the Heavenly Court was created by Dijun and Taiyi?

Did he really think the Heavenly Court was under their control, and that he could just come and poach the grand steward of the heavenly court?

He was the true controller of the Heavenly Court. If he left, what would happen?

Upon hearing this, East King Duke's expression turned gloomy. This Daoist Jidu really gave him no Face.

At this thought, he said coldly:

"Fellow Daoist, you should think carefully. I hold the position of the Head of Male Immortals, which was personally recognized by the Saint, who even bestowed the dragon head staff."

"He said that the many Innate Sacred Beings present should cooperate with me and help me to the best of their ability. Are you showing contempt for the Saint?"

Hearing this, the aura around Daoist Jidu became mysterious, and he burst into laughter.

"Ridiculous. For someone who claims to be the Head of Male Immortals, you can't even tell what kind of immortal I am. The Saint's appointed Head of Male Immortals is a blind man, it seems."

As he spoke, she emanated the aura of a female immortal.

Innate Sacred Beings were just that unreasonable. Gender was only something that became important because the Immortal Dao was established and emphasized Yin and Yang, causing those who practiced the Immortal Dao to gradually value it.

For ancient ones like them, they were never restricted by gender.

At this point, East King Duke's Face turned livid. After a long while, he looked toward a certain spot in the Inner Chaos and said deeply:

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, why don't you come and lend me a hand?"

From the Inner Chaos, a female immortal walked out and bowed to Daoist Jidu.

"This humble Daoist, the Queen Mother of the West, greets Fellow Daoist Jidu."

Daoist Jidu looked at the Queen Mother of the West before him; her composed expression could not hide a trace of fear in her eyes.

This one seemed to know his identity. Was it the kunlun mirror? By observing the past with this Innate Spirit Treasure, then this time, it should also be related to Hongjun.

That One had given the Queen Mother of the West an order.

At this moment, he was no longer grinning or as peaceful as before. He took a step forward and said expressionlessly:

"Head of Female Immortals... what a fine Head of Female Immortals. So you were waiting for me here. However, I've heard that the Inner Chaos is not very safe right now."

"With Innate Beast Kings appearing, if Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West is here and doesn't return quickly, I'm afraid encountering a few hundred Innate Beast Kings might cause even you to perish once."

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, you must consider this carefully."

He emphasized the word "consider."
