The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 39 Inquiring of the Dao Ancestor, Nuwa Invites Her

"Brother, are you referring to... the Dao Ancestor?"

Taiyi paused for a moment before speaking.

“That’s right! Let’s go straight to the Dao Ancestor.”

A hint of worry flashed across Di Jun's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. During the last war between the Lich King and the Demon King, when the Demon King was defeated, the Dao Ancestor suddenly appeared, stopping the Lich King's attack and saving the Demon King. Although the Dao Ancestor saved them, Di Jun noticed something amiss. The Dao Ancestor had attained enlightenment and shouldn't be concerned with matters in the primordial world anymore, since the Heavenly Dao is impartial.

When Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, he said, "Hongjun is the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is not for Hongjun." However, Dao Ancestor intervened in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King. Although Dijun was the beneficiary, he discovered something amiss: the Heavenly Dao was being biased!

Whether it was due to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun or a problem with the Heavenly Dao, it all caused Dijun to worry.

The Way of Heaven should instinctively maintain the operation of the universe and not interfere with the development of the world. But what would happen if the Way of Heaven acted selfishly is something even Emperor Jun does not know.

However, Di Jun knew that the Heavenly Dao was biased, which was not a good thing for the prehistoric world.

In fact, Di Jun had another purpose in asking Dao Zu this time: to verify his guess.

Under normal circumstances, the Dao Ancestor would not see him.

If the Dao Ancestor meets with him and agrees to let him slaughter the human race, it means that the Heavenly Dao has truly changed. In that case, he will have to inquire about the six sages to see if they are being restricted by the Heavenly Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun really plots against the demon race, then Dijun is not someone to be trifled with!
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Di Jun's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and continued talking to Taiyi.

"After consulting the Dao Ancestor, as long as the Dao Ancestor doesn't object, it will be much easier for us to persuade the Sage. If the Dao Ancestor doesn't agree, then there's no need for us to go through all this trouble."

Taiyi remained silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go to Zixiao Palace and inquire about it."

So Di Jun and Tai Yi headed towards the Zixiao Palace in the chaos.

Because the Thirty-Three Heavens where the Heavenly Court is located is on the edge of chaos, although the Purple Cloud Palace is located deep in the chaos, Di Jun and Tai Yi are both top-level supernatural beings and possess protective spiritual treasures, so their speed is still very fast. Before long, they arrived outside the Purple Cloud Palace.

However, the gates of Zixiao Palace remained tightly closed and did not open despite the arrival of the two.

Upon seeing this, Di Jun bowed deeply to the Zixiao Palace and slowly began to speak.

"The demons Di Jun and Tai Yi request an audience with their teacher!"

Taiyi also bowed and waited quietly.

After a long while, a sigh came from Zixiao Palace.

"Alas! Fate brings both beginnings and endings; humanity faces this calamity! Let us go back!"

The sound was ethereal, like the voice of Tao, penetrating straight into the soul; the surrounding chaotic energy shifted in response to the sound.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Zixiao Palace and the surrounding chaotic energy returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Di Jun and Tai Yi bowed deeply, and then flew towards the prehistoric world.

"Brother, the Dao Ancestor has agreed. Let's go back and start taking action!"

Taiichi said excitedly.

Di Jun's face was expressionless, but a hint of seriousness flashed briefly in the depths of his eyes.

"No rush. Let's go and visit the sages first and tell them about this. I believe that with the Dao Ancestor's approval, the sages shouldn't object. I just don't know if the sages have any requirements."

Although we have the consent of the Daoist Ancestor, we cannot ignore the sage's opinion. It's just a trip, and it won't take much time.

The sages are ultimately in the primordial world; it's best not to offend them if possible. This isn't a bad thing for you, me, or the demon race.

Di Jun explained to Taiyi, then led the way towards Nuwa Palace. Taiyi hesitated for a moment, then followed. Nuwa Palace

The goddess Nuwa sat at the head of the table, contemplating the Dao of Heaven. Suddenly, she sensed something and opened her eyes.

"Jin Ning, two emperors from the demon race have arrived. Go outside the palace to greet them."

"Yes, ma'am."

A beautiful and noble female immortal responded and respectfully withdrew from Nuwa's Palace. This was none other than Nuwa's mount, the Azure Phoenix Fire Phoenix Jin Ning. Jin Ning was the son of the Phoenix Heavenly Maiden, the younger sister of the Primordial Phoenix, possessing pure blood and lineage. Born at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Jin Ning had devoted himself to cultivation after joining Nuwa's fold, and had now reached the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, only one realm away from becoming a Great Divine Power.

When Di Jun and Tai Yi arrived at Nuwa Palace, Jin Ning was already waiting at the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has been waiting in the palace for a long time. Please follow me."

Jin Ning smiled and spoke to Di Jun and Tai Yi, then led the way for them.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Di Jun thanked her and followed Jin Ning into Nuwa's Palace with Tai Yi. Although Jin Ning was Nuwa's mount, she was still Nuwa's person, and her cultivation was not weak. Moreover, she was a princess of the Phoenix Clan, so even Di Jun had to take her seriously.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought."

"Well, back off!"

"Yes, madam!"

Jin Ning bowed deeply and withdrew.

"What brings you two fellow Daoists here today?"

Nuwa has been cultivating recently and has not been paying attention to the affairs of the prehistoric world, so she is unaware of the intentions of Dijun and Taiyi.

"Your Majesty, Dijun has come to apologize on your behalf!"

Di Jun bowed to Nuwa.

"Your Majesty, what is it that requires such a gesture from Your Majesty?"

Nuwa was somewhat puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the demon race needs the essence and blood of the human race to break the physical bodies of the witch race."

"Human blood essence can restrain the physical body of the witch race? Then I will instruct the human race to donate a portion of their blood essence to the demon race."

Nuwa frowned. Although she wasn't entirely sure that human essence blood had such an effect, since Dijun had brought it up, she might as well lend a hand. It was just essence blood; taking a little wouldn't cause any problems. At most, the human would be weak for a while, and she would reward them with some spiritual fruits to help them recover quickly.

“Your Majesty, because we need to fight against the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan, we need a large amount of essence blood. We can only carry out a massacre, and we have to be fast. If we are not fast enough, the barbarians of the Witch Clan will definitely come to stop us.”

As Di Jun spoke, his eyes were also carefully observing Nuwa.

Nuwa was taken aback at first, then her expression turned rather unpleasant as she spoke with a somewhat cold look.

"Your Majesty, such rampant slaughter of living beings is against the natural order and will also affect the fortune of the demon race. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Nuwa, her face still bearing anger, directly and tactfully rejected Dijun.

"Your Majesty, Taiyi and I had already paid our respects to the Dao Ancestor before we came, and the Dao Ancestor approved our plan."

Di Jun spoke calmly, as if the bowing to Nuwa just now had never happened.

Although he knew Nuwa was somewhat annoyed, Dijun was not moved by her anger; on the contrary, he felt relieved by her rage.
