Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 172 - 166 Jie Yin Quasi-Saint

Sun Star.

All those who were in the palace gradually began to awaken from the Spiritual Illusion Realm set up by Di Jun.

Donghuang Taiyi was the first to wake up; he nodded to his elder brother before leaving the palace and went under the Fusang Tree to continue his cultivation.

Nuwa and Fu Xi followed closely behind. Without speaking, they paid their respects to Di Jun and then departed from the Sun Star.

Though Di Jun’s Spiritual Illusion Realm had not helped them find the path of a Quasi-Saint, it did enhance their spiritual power.

Xi He and Chang Xi woke up simultaneously, their situation similar to that of Nuwa and her brother, and they too left the Sun Star.

Demon Master Kun Peng and Bai Ze were the last ones to awaken. After thanking Di Jun, both left the Sun Star.

Di Jun had a clear understanding of everyone’s condition, even clearer than they understood themselves.

They might not have realized, but in Di Jun’s view, they all seemed to have been purified of worldly contamination.

Not until all the high-ranking members of the Demon Clan had left the palace, did Di Jun look up at the sky.

He faintly sensed that this mental confrontation was not over and that neither side seemed inclined to give in.

Afterward, Di Jun also left the palace, returning to the Fusang Tree.

Mount Sumeru.

Within the Sea of Consciousness of Daoist Jie Yin, the path that Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had forced upon him, the path taught by the elder Hong Jun, was continuously disassembling and reassembling.

Gradually, it filled in the path he was searching for.

He could feel that his own path had deviated from the way of the Saints, filling his heart with a pang of sadness.

But he did not regret it, for he had no other choice.

As time passed, Jie Yin advanced further along this new path, and his strength grew progressively.

Finally, Jie Yin’s consciousness fully awoke, regaining control of his body.

He did not have time to check his own condition but hurried to inspect Zhun Ti’s state.

Indeed, just as Jie Yin had thought, Zhun Ti could only cling to her original heart, facing the boundless Demon Sea in grave danger.

Without further thought, Daoist Jie Yin immediately activated his spiritual power.

With the inheritance from Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, Jie Yin had also become very adept at utilizing spiritual power.

In an instant, Daoist Jie Yin appeared in Zhun Ti’s Sea of Consciousness, standing with Daoist Zhun Ti, facing the boundless Demon Sea.

Daoist Jie Yin imparted his method to Zhun Ti, also guarding her spirit and mind.

On receiving the message from Daoist Jie Yin, without any hesitation, Daoist Zhun Ti began to recall the teachings originally explained by the Saints.

In the blink of an eye, within this boundless Demon Sea, unusual phenomena emerged, endless golden light clashing with the Demon Sea.

Like Daoist Jie Yin, both aspects were disassembling and reassembling, deriving a brand-new path.

This path was similar to that of Daoist Jie Yin, yet it had its differences.

Jie Yin’s path placed greater emphasis on spiritual power, inheriting most of the Spiritual Demon Path from the Demon Ancestor.

While Zhun Ti’s path put a greater emphasis on the strength of the flesh—no, rather the cultivation of a Golden Body, focusing on the use of Merit.

It was quite normal for the two to have discrepancies in their understanding of both Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and the Saints’ paths, resulting in unique paths for each.

As time meandered, a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye; Daoists Zhun Ti and Jie Yin had survived their crises and were slowly recuperating.

Demon Realm.

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, who was in battle with the elder Hong Jun, could not help laughing upon seeing the state of Zhun Ti and Jie Yin.

"Hahaha, old Hong Jun, even if you hinder me, what of it? The path they seek has already changed."

"From now on, my Demon Path will always lurk within their pursuit of the Dao, even in their system of teaching, until my Demon Path revives again."

"Moreover, these two were born of Mount Sumeru, inherently fated with my Demon Path. Now, having benefited from my Demon Path, whatever outcomes they achieve shall partake of my Demon Path’s influence."

"The karmic ties between me and the Western Primordial shall be slowly paid off by these two!"

"Hahaha..."

After saying this, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou no longer contended with the elder Hong Jun and concealed himself within the Demon Realm.

As Luo Hou concealed himself, the Demonic Qi on Mount Sumeru and the black spatial barrier also vanished into nothingness.

Hong Jun did not pursue, his gaze crossing space itself, landing on Daoists Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

He naturally knew the words just spoken by Demon Ancestor Luo Hou were true.

If all went as usual, the development of events would indeed be as Luo Hou described.

Furthermore, the Demon Path would, like a shadow, accompany both of them perpetually, with turning to devilry being but a momentary thought away.

While it seemed that Zhun Ti and Jie Yin had forged a brand-new path, essentially they were still overshadowed by both the Immortal Dao and the Demon Path.

Moreover, Hong Jun saw that their paths were even more inclined towards the Demon Path, though in a manner somewhat similar to the Immortal Dao.

Otherwise, Hong Jun wouldn’t feel that they were only a thought away from becoming devils.

"Sigh."

With a sigh, the elder Hong Jun retracted his spiritual power, dismissed the distractions, and began preparing for merging with the Dao.

Mount Sumeru.

Zhun Ti and Jie Yin looked at each other, with Zhun Ti calling out excitedly, "Elder brother!"

If initially, upon first encountering this wholly new path, their hearts were full of unrest and worry about the future,

now that they were familiar, excitement was all that remained.

Ineffably, they sensed that the potential of this path was not slight.

The expression of Daoist Jie Yin was not as excited as Daoist Zhun Ti, merely nodding his head.

"Zhun Ti, wait for me for a moment," said Daoist Jie Yin.

Thinking of something, Daoist Zhun Ti looked at Daoist Jie Yin in astonishment and exclaimed, "Elder brother, could it be that you..."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Daoist Jie Yin nodded.

"Excellent! Wonderful! Fantastic!"

"Elder brother, go ahead and break through, I’ll protect the law for you!" exclaimed Daoist Zhun Ti, his face aglow.

Daoist Jie Yin no longer hesitated; his momentum rose without meeting any resistance and he broke through to the realm of Quasi-Saint.

At that moment, Daoist Jie Yin suddenly opened his eyes and said softly, "Fellow Daoist, please reveal yourself."

Suddenly, above Daoist Jie Yin’s Top Three Flowers, an essence-congealed silhouette appeared, landing on the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus.

Shortly after, a fierce and devilish ’Daoist Jie Yin’ appeared before them.

An Evil Corpse.

"Fellow Daoist, I offer my greetings," said Daoist Jie Yin.

"Hmph, we are one; there’s no need for such pretentiously polite greetings," retorted the Evil Corpse.

As the words fell, the shadow of the Evil Corpse merged into the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus.

Daoist Jie Yin felt no annoyance at the Evil Corpse’s words; he calmly put away the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus, and addressed Zhun Ti.

"Zhun Ti, it’s time for us to leave this place," he said.

Zhun Ti glanced at the place which had been completely transformed and immediately replied, "Yes, elder brother."
