Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 287 - 226 The Failed East King_2

The Three Pure Ones, advancing and retreating together, are not merely speaking idly.

"However, the Immortal Court cannot yet be destroyed by the Witch Clan."

Taiching Laozi said.

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian heard this and couldn’t help frowning.

"Brother, why?"

Shang Qing Tong Tian asked directly.

"Is it because of the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court?"

Yuqing couldn’t help but speak out.

Taiching Laozi gently shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the Demon Clan, nor with the Heavenly Court."

He seemed to have seen through Yuqing Yuanshi’s thoughts and continued, "Currently, the Demon Clan occupies the Primordial Starry Sky and the Heavenly Realm and will not interfere with the affairs of the Primordial."

"The Demon Clan has never meddled with the affairs of the Primordial Continent."

"Yuanshi, as long as the Celestial Heaven Star Formation exists, the Demon Clan will not be destroyed; that is the foundation of the Demon Clan."

Taiching looked at Yuanshi and said earnestly.

"I understand now, brother."

Yuanshi replied.

What happened at the Purple Cloud Palace in the beginning, Yuanshi still remembers to this day.

A slight snort resulted in a serious injury to himself.

"The reason why the Immortal Court cannot be destroyed is because of the presence of the Witch Clan."

"Not only can the Immortal Court not be destroyed, but neither can the Witch Clan."

"Both sides need to maintain balance, at least until we become Saints, after which changes may occur."

Taiching Laozi said.

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian thought for a moment before nodding their heads, coming to an understanding.

Balance.

They are currently unable to confront the Immortal Court or the Witch Clan.

If one side becomes too powerful, it would cause them great trouble.

If they lose their goal and suddenly feel that there should be no Saints in the Primordial Heaven and Earth, would they kill those who possess the Hongmeng Purple Qi?

Especially the Witch Clan, which is a lawless race that only respects Pangu and not the Daoist Ancestor.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Yuqing Yuanshi asked.

"The affairs of the Immortal Court, you need not worry about them, I will handle it."

Taiching Laozi said.

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian both nodded.

Taiching Laozi’s mind moved, and the doors of that palace slowly opened.

"East King, please come in."

Taiching Laozi said.

East King quickly stepped in and immediately said, "Have the three Dao friends come to a conclusion?"

"East King, there’s no need to hurry, please take a seat."

Taiching Laozi said.

"There’s no need to sit down, please just tell me the result directly."

East King had a bad feeling in his heart.

Taiching Laozi did not insist, he looked at East King and said, "We need to comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Qi bestowed by our master as soon as possible, we cannot leave Kunlun Mountain."

Indeed, as expected.

East King thought to himself, which made him feel very disappointed.

"However, though we cannot leave Kunlun Mountain, we can still provide some help to the Immortal Court."

"Such as helping to improve the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, strengthening its power."

Taiching Laozi said in a calm and unhurried manner.

Hearing this, the sense of loss in East King’s heart dissipated by a great deal, and he quickly said, "Thank you, three Dao friends."

Then, East King, without any hesitation, directly presented two difficulties.

One was to improve the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, enhancing the power of the formation, which was of paramount importance.

The other matter was the curse of the Witch Clan; he was looking to find a protective method that could be taught to all beings in the Immortal Court.

Taiching Laozi agreed without any hesitation.

He watched East King leave and couldn’t help but think: What kind of fate is it that he intuitively sensed with East King?

This is also one of the reasons why the Taiching Ancestor chose to support the Immortal Court.

East King left the place where The Three Pure Ones resided, but did not leave Kunlun Mountain; instead, he proceeded towards the Western part of Kunlun Mountain.

"Head of Male Immortals, East King, has come to visit the Head of Female Immortals, The Queen Mother of the West."

The voice of East King entered the Array.

Moments later, the Array opened, and The Queen Mother of the West, leading a group of palace maids, appeared before East King.

"Fellow Daoist East King, please come in."

The Queen Mother of the West invited.

Though their relationship was not close, The Queen Mother of the West could not simply rebuff him and turn him away.

East King followed The Queen Mother of the West and noticed that the cultivation realms of the female practitioners here were not high, which made him slightly frown.

He found that The Queen Mother of the West’s Daoist School was filled with various kinds of Spirit Plants, including Innate Spiritual Plants and Acquired Spiritual Plants.

There were both precious and very common ones.

This place was filled with harmony and vitality. The various conflicts from the outside world had not affected this place at all, making it seem like an idyllic paradise.

The Queen Mother of the West led East King to a pavilion and sat down next to a stone table.

Soon, a palace maid appeared carrying a jug of Spiritual Brew.

"Fellow Daoist East King, try this Hundred Flowers Brew from West Kunlun, concocted from the dew of over a hundred kinds of Innate Spiritual Flowers."

East King drank a cup and said, "The taste is good, but it lacks much of the Innate Spiritual Energy."

"Fellow Daoist East King is right, but the pursuit of this Hundred Flowers Brew is taste, not the Innate Spiritual Energy within it."

East King nodded and then changed the subject.

"The cultivation realms of the female practitioners here seem to be not high."

The Queen Mother of the West did not deny it but said directly, "The palace maids here are life forms seeking refuge. Naturally, their cultivation realms are not high."

"However, on Kunlun Mountain, my cultivation is enough to protect them. Fellow Daoist East King need not worry."

"No, that’s not what I meant, as the Head of Female Immortals..."

Before East King could finish, The Queen Mother of the West interjected, "Fellow Daoist East King, please do not bring up the matter of the Head of Female Immortals any more."

"Chang Xi and Xi He, the two sisters, have higher cultivation realms than I do, and the Wa Emperor Nuwa’s cultivation realm is also higher than mine. What standing do I have to be the Head of Female Immortals?"

"But this title was personally bestowed by the Daoist Ancestor. I am the Head of Male Immortals, and you are the Head of Female Immortals."

The Queen Mother of the West shook her head and said, "Fellow Daoist East King, in Primordial, strength is paramount. I am not fit to be the Head of Female Immortals."

"This..."

East King did not know what to say for a moment.

In Primordial, there were more life forms with higher cultivation than him; should he renounce his title as the Head of Male Immortals?

He was reluctant to do so!

While East King was contemplating, the voice of The Queen Mother of the West rang out again.

"Did Fellow Daoist East King come here just to discuss matters of the Head of Male Immortals and the Head of Female Immortals?"

"No, that’s not it."

East King immediately responded, then pushed the jumble of emotions in his mind to the bottom of his heart.

"This time, I came seeking Fellow Daoist’s assistance in opposing the Witch Clan and preserving the Immortal Court."

Hearing this, The Queen Mother of the West immediately shook her head and said, "Fellow Daoist East King, you’ve come to the wrong person."

"I am not skilled in conflict, and can only provide protection for these palace maids on Kunlun Mountain. You should seek help from someone else."

"Fellow Daoist The Queen Mother of the West..."

"Fellow Daoist East King, I have pressing matters to attend to. Please excuse me."

With that, The Queen Mother of the West stood up and left.

Watching the retreating figure of The Queen Mother of the West, East King could not help but think about forcing her to serve him.

However, he ultimately did not act, for this place was The Queen Mother of the West’s Daoist School.

It was not wise to make a move on The Queen Mother of the West’s home ground.

Moreover, he recalled Daoist Kun Peng; should there be another who outwardly agrees but secretly sabotages the Immortal Court, that would be troublesome.

Having failed, there was no need for East King to stay any longer. He left Kunlun Mountain and headed straight for the Primordial Starry Sky.

Having been rebuffed at both visits on Kunlun Mountain, his gaze had to turn to the Heavenly Court once more.

After numerous reports within the Demon Clan, East King finally arrived at the Palace of the Polestar.

Sitting atop the thirty-three steps were Di Jun and Chang Xi.

Xi He had already returned to the Taiyin Star.

East King directly stated his purpose, hoping that Di Jun would help the Immortal Court repel the Witch Clan.

Di Jun looked at East King with a calm expression and shook his head, saying, "Fellow Daoist East King, my Demon Clan does not interfere with the conflicts within the Primordial Continent."

"Moreover, why should my Demon Clan act and draw the hostility of the Witch Clan? What would my Demon Clan gain from it?"
