Chapter 260 Demon Extermination Court!! Heavenly Palace
Within the Sixth Ring Road of the Primordial World.
There is a sacred mountain called Fangchu Mountain.
At the summit of the mountain, a magnificent and naturally formed celestial palace has appeared, seemingly without any prior knowledge.
This celestial palace is made entirely of white jade, and each piece of white jade is carved with countless mysterious runes that shimmer with light.
As the runes flickered, wisps of Daoist charm flowed within them.
Faintly, one could see countless stars twinkling within the celestial palace, seemingly depicting the rise and fall of the world.
Within the celestial palace, celestial mists swirled.
That was not just simple mist, but a manifestation formed by the convergence of countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth.
Like a light veil, it floats gently, and with just a breath, it makes you feel as if every pore on your body is cheering with joy.
Within the celestial mist stood dozens of figures.
Each of them was hundreds of thousands of feet tall, and the aura they exuded was enough to make even a Golden Immortal's mind tremble and their primordial spirit collapse.
And the Eastern King Duke stood tall in front of everyone.
He is now wearing a purple robe.
Embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and seas, it fully displays the nobility and domineering presence of the Eastern King Duke.
Beside her stood the Queen Mother of the West, also dressed in magnificent robes, with an indifferent and aloof expression.
The Eastern King Duke gazed solemnly at the group of Great Luo Golden Immortals before him.
He spoke in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, I believe you all share my view that the Demon Court is burdened with heavy karma and is no longer qualified to rule the Thirty-Six Heavens!"
He paused briefly, then continued, "We have gathered here today for only one purpose: to work together to drive the Demon Court out of the Thirty-Six Heavens and restore a bright and clear world to them!"
As soon as the Eastern King Duke finished speaking, the crowd present became excited.
"Yes, that demon court is really unfair. Why should they control the thirty-six heavens set up by the Daoist Master? What gives them the right?!"
"Yes, those Thirty-Six Heavens were specially arranged by the Daoist Venerable because he felt that it was not easy for the beings of the primordial world to obtain treasures. Now, since the establishment of the Demon Court, they have been controlling it. If we want to enter a Heavenly Palace and obtain a spiritual treasure, we have to join the demon race first. Putting aside how the demon energy can compare with our immortal energy, just based on the fact that the demon race has such heavy karma, only a fool would join!"
"I refused to join the Demon Court back then because I couldn't bear the thought of joining the demon race! Now it seems that my decision was correct. If I had joined the Demon Court back then, I might have already perished at the hands of the demons and fallen into the cycle of reincarnation!"
Listening to the indignant remarks of the assembled Grand Immortals, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother exchanged a subtle glance.
They all saw a hint of joy deep in each other's eyes.
The establishment of the Celestial Court by the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother was a significant decision.
After all, the Demon Court has developed for so many years, and with its location in the Thirty-Six Heavens, it has a lot of spiritual treasures.
The two of them were really not confident that they could fight against the Demon Court.
Fortunately, the Demon Court is now deeply mired in a great calamity.
Even leaving the Thirty-Six Heavens wouldn't be an option now; this is their only chance.
If they seize this opportunity, their Celestial Court might very well be able to take its place.
However, there was another crucial reason why the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother established the Celestial Court.
That is, ever since the two of them went to the Demon Court, they had a vague feeling that they would have a battle with the Demon Court in the future.
You should know that before they were even born, they had received guidance from the Daoist Master!
Given the Daoist Master's level of cultivation, it's impossible for him to bestow blessings and enlightenment upon the two of them for no reason.
It is very likely that Dao Zun knew long ago that they would one day fight against the Demon Court.
That's why they were specially granted good fortune.
Their purpose was to have the two of them deal with the demon court.
After figuring out the reasons, the two began preparations to establish a Celestial Court after leaving the Demon Court.
The news circulating in the primordial world that Di Jun and the Demon Court were no longer qualified to control the Thirty-Six Heavens was also spread by these two.
In retrospect, this method was indeed effective.
It should be known that the actions of the Demon Court have long been seen as unacceptable by many living beings.
After all, under the control of the Demon Court, one must join the demon race to take over the Thirty-Six Heavenly Palaces.
Joining the demon race requires switching to cultivating demonic energy.
This also caused some beings, even those who were interested in the Heavenly Palace, to hesitate and give up!
However, because the Demon Court was so powerful, they dared not speak out even if they had grievances in their hearts.
Now that the Demon Court is deeply mired in a great calamity, they can no longer tolerate it.
This is the reason why their Celestial Court is able to gather so many Great Luo Golden Immortals!
He sensed that the dissatisfaction of the people towards the Demon Court had reached its peak.
Without further hesitation, Dongwanggong declared in a deep voice, "Since the Demon Court is so shameless, then we will wait until the Demon Court and the Demon Clan have finished their battle, and then, when they are weak and exhausted, we will declare war on the Demon Court!"
"Once we have taken control of the Thirty-Six Heavens, I, the Eastern King, hereby swear that I will never let down any of you present here. At that time, you will all be elders of my Celestial Court, and each of you will have your own celestial palace!!!"
The Eastern King's words were very straightforward.
But he knew why these people had gathered there.
All they want is to take over the Heavenly Palace.
Therefore, the Eastern King Duke did not waste any words and directly expressed his opinion, responding to what everyone was thinking.
As expected, everyone's faces lit up with joy upon hearing Dong Wanggong's words.
They chose to come here precisely so that, after expelling the demon court, they could take over a heavenly palace!
Immediately, all living beings became excited and echoed the call.
"Exterminate the Demon Court!! Seize the Heavenly Palace!!"
"Exterminate the Demon Court!! Seize the Heavenly Palace!"
"Exterminate the Demon Court!! Seize the Heavenly Palace!"
The sound waves rose higher and higher, as if they were about to break through the clouds and shake the heavens and earth.
However, amidst this surging outcry, a small minority still maintained some semblance of rationality.
They frowned slightly, looking worriedly at the Eastern King Duke standing in front of them.
With a hint of skepticism, he inquired, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong, although the Demon Court is currently mired in the Tribulation of Inner Demons, it still occupies the Thirty-Six Heavens. Not only does it possess countless spiritual treasures, but it also has the terrifying existence of a Primordial Treasure. I'm afraid this Tribulation of Inner Demons will at most only cripple them, not completely annihilate them. In that case, we must consider how to deal with the Primordial Treasure in the hands of Dijun and the others. Do you have any strategies to counter this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the once lively and enthusiastic scene was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and he suddenly fell silent.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their excitement fading and replaced by deep worry and doubt.
The previous enthusiasm was gone.
Yes, although they are equally wary of top-grade innate spiritual treasures, they might still have a chance to escape in the face of their power.
If they were facing a supreme innate treasure, they would have a hard time escaping.
Not to mention Di Jun and Tai Yi in the Demon Court, each possessing several innate treasures.
These two alone could probably take on everyone present.
After all, the difference between a supreme innate treasure and a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is like heaven and earth.
Moreover, it's in the hands of that demon court.
There isn't just one innate treasure.
Even when the Demon Clan and the Demon Court went to war, they first had to erase a portion of the power of the innate treasure.
But the problem is, the Demon Clan has a Demon Ancestor behind them.
They have nothing behind them.
There is only one Eastern King Duke!
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother.
I hope to get some comfort from them.
If even the Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother are helpless in this matter...
Why don't they take advantage of the fact that they haven't yet clashed with the Demon Court... and withdraw first?
