98: Chapter 98 Lord of the Stars, Doumu Yuanjun

On Jidu Star, Dijun and Taiyi remained silent for a long time before finally making up their minds.

They had this idea, but they hadn't started implementing it yet.

No, to be more precise, it was only in the preliminary stages of implementation.

Coming to Daoist Jidu was precisely because they wanted to realize their grand ambitions.

In this situation, they would be fools not to welcome Jidu, an Innate Sacred Being who possessed both financial resources and strength.

What did the Heavenly Court need most right now? Wasn't it exactly this?

Thinking of this, Dijun looked excited and burst into loud laughter.

“Haha, with Fellow Daoist Jidu joining us, my Heavenly Court is destined for glory. Since you have said so, though we are not wealthy, we cannot treat you poorly for nothing.”

“This is a branch of the fusang tree; please accept it, Fellow Daoist.”

Dijun took out a tree branch, which radiated an incomparably powerful, searing heat.

Daoist Jidu looked at the branch but didn't take it to heart. Instead, he slowly spoke:

“Fellow Daoist Dijun is being too polite. Such a thing is truly too precious. How about this? I heard that you have the Peak Innate Spirit Treasure, the river chart and luo book.”

“I wish to borrow the power of these two Magic Treasures to deduce some things. I wonder if you are willing to grant this. Do not worry, just a few Yuanhuis will suffice.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Dijun’s heart skipped a beat. He understood that this person's goal might very well be this Magic Treasure.

However, he let out a long sigh of relief. If it was just borrowing the treasure for comprehension, it wouldn't be a big deal, especially if it could exchange for the loyalty of an Innate Sacred Being.

To him, it could be considered a good trade.

Without hesitation, Dijun spoke magnanimously:

“No problem. You can comprehend it for as long as you want.”

As he spoke, he handed the treasure over to Daoist Jidu.

Daoist Jidu took the treasure and said slowly to Dijun:

“Fellow Daoist, please don't leave yet. This is your Magic Treasure after all. If you lend it to others at will and another Innate Sacred Being leaves some hidden measures behind, wouldn't that be troublesome for you?”

“I will comprehend it right here and return it to you once I am finished.”

Without hesitation, he immediately began his comprehension in front of Dijun and Taiyi.

A look of shame appeared on Dijun's face. He had harbored suspicions that the person before him wanted to use this method to seize his treasure.

Now it seemed he had overthought it. For such a Fellow Daoist to understand him so well, he was truly ashamed!

To have had such thoughts, thinking of Daoist Jidu as someone so despicable and shameless.

“Sigh, for such a Fellow Daoist, I actually doubted him. I truly deserve to die!”

Dijun was overcome with shame, thinking to himself.

Daoist Jidu, however, looked joyful. From the moment Dijun proposed the idea, his goal was to use the name of the Heavenly Court to secretly develop the Demonic Path.

To actually be able to comprehend the river chart and luo book as well was simply a massive gain.

As for the issue of resources, were all those Demonic Path Daluo useless?

Did they really think he wouldn't make use of them and use these Demonic Path Daluo for other things?

Although the cost of nurturing a Demonic Path Daluo was currently quite high, requiring a large portion of power of merit, he didn't lack power of merit. He could just continue nurturing them.

Furthermore, there was another point: his Incarnation had already successfully entered that Xuanhuang World.

That world could be said to be extremely mysterious, and its creator, the Xuanhuang Dao Venerable, had not perished.

It could be said that he had nurtured many powerful experts.

That guy was an old schemer; he had already controlled Jidu's Incarnation and planted various measures, still not fully trusting him even now.

He even wanted to send some experts from the Xuanhuang World into the Primordial World to investigate the situation.

The experts of the Xuanhuang World who reached the level above Peak Daluo did not follow the Great Dao of fusing with the world, but rather severed the shackles of the Xuanhuang World.

It was a path of establishing one's own Dao and continuously becoming stronger.

When the time was right, it would be difficult for the experts of the Demonic Path to steal the Great Dao of the Chaos Demon Gods, but wouldn't it be easy to steal the Great Dao of those beings?

Jidu had already thought of many ways for the future development of the Heavenly Court.

He glanced at the self-reproaching Dijun, paid it no mind, and began to wholeheartedly comprehend the river chart and luo book... Time passed slowly, and after ten Yuanhuis, a look of satisfaction appeared on Jidu's face.

Regarding the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, he finally had some ideas in his mind.

Then, he looked at Dijun and Taiyi before him and spoke seriously:

“Thank you, Fellow Daoists. This time has truly been very rewarding for me.”

“I wonder how the recruitment of experts in the Endless Starry Sky is going? Do you need my help?”

“If there is a need, I will not hesitate.”

Dijun and Taiyi looked at each other and said with bitterness:

“Fellow Daoist, you may not know, but the Endless Starry Sky has many experts. There is even an old-guard Innate Sacred Being known as the Star Mother Supreme Sovereign. Our words carry little weight, and we simply cannot command the same conviction as an old-guard existence.”

Daoist Jidu smiled and said nothing. Back then, when his true body commanded the Primordial World, he indeed hadn't subdued all existences.

For example, he was very aware of that Old Ancestor Junkun of the North Sea, as well as this Star Mother Supreme Sovereign of the Boundless Starry Sky.

This Star Mother Supreme Sovereign was a true Innate Sacred Being, a supreme existence nurtured by the Boundless Starry Sky.

Compared to him, she was not weak.

This person had even glimpsed a trace of the Primordial Chaos Dao, though the path she took was different from theirs. It was similar to 'Reduction to Emptiness,' wanting to find an existence to merge with everything she had.

Including her status and Great Dao.

The one who could obtain everything of hers would reach the pinnacle below Primordial Chaos in an instant.

However, this person also had a flaw. With no one outside the Primordial World, how could her true spirit and her own insights into the Great Dao be brought outside the Primordial World?

But his true body, Rahu, could!

Without hesitation, Jidu looked at Dijun and Taiyi and said calmly:

“Fellow Daoists, I am untalented but possess some wealth. Why don't I go and handle the recruitment? While I might not be able to persuade that supreme existence, I am confident about the others.”

“Fellow Daoist Jidu, then we shall trouble you. Since you are confident, we will take our leave first and try to recruit other Innate Sacred Beings.”

Dijun said excitedly, and then without hesitation, he left this star.

Jidu certainly had his secrets, but since he was willing to join the current Heavenly Court, what else could they say?

After Dijun left, Jidu turned his gaze toward the Endless Starry Sky, looking at an unknown space-time.

Taking a step forward, he spoke to a certain supreme existence in that space-time:

“Fellow Daoist, it must be unpleasant to hit a Bottleneck. How about I come and help you?”
