The Seventeenth Group of Demons Gather at the Heavenly Court

  Nüwa, as the saint of the demon clan, was able to praise Kunpeng, which was already a great honor for Kunpeng. But what she didn't expect was that Kunpeng would leave Tian Ting directly without giving her face, and she couldn't help but feel very dissatisfied with Kunpeng in her heart. Among the people present, except for Fuxi Daxian and a few others who sympathized with Kunpeng, most of them stood on the side of the two demon emperors.

  The demon emperor Jun saw that the atmosphere was a bit cold, and said: "The nature of the demon master is like this, everyone should not blame him, we continue to discuss how to deal with the witch tribe in the future."

  Nüwa felt a sense of relief in her heart when she heard Emperor Jun's words. However, Fuxi looked down on Emperor Jun, thinking that as the ruler of his tribe, he couldn't even be just, which was the greatest failure for someone in power. The future of the demon tribe under such an emperor was indeed uncertain, just like Kunpeng had said.

  Fuxi Dasheng was somewhat satisfied with the demon emperor Jun, but he was different from Kunpeng and would not ignore the demon tribe. So he could only do his best to help the demon emperor Jun, hoping to make the demon tribe prosperous.

  Nüwa knew this, so she suppressed Kunpeng and supported Emperor Jun and Taiyi. However, her actions made Kunpeng completely give up on the demon tribe. Nüwa was a relatively selfish person, and since Kunpeng couldn't get along with her, she couldn't let him develop and grow stronger. Moreover, Kunpeng had humiliated her in front of so many people, how could she not harbor resentment?

  Fuxi said: "The departure of the demon master Kunpeng can be said to be a great loss for our demon tribe. Looking at his performance today, he wants to completely break with our demon tribe. We will not be able to ask for his help in the future. Although the witch tribe lost their ancestor Hou Tu and was injured, they did not hurt their tendons and bones. Moreover, the Daozu has ordered that the two tribes cannot fight within 2,000 years, and now it is only 1,000 years. The time of 1,000 years is enough for them to make up for the gap left by Hou Tu. Our demon tribe is far inferior to them. Although we have the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array', do you really think that with 1,000 years of time, you can fully master such a profound array? This is obviously impossible. This array was created by the demon master, and if he were in charge of this array, it would not be impossible to confront the complete 'Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array'. But you have made the demon master completely break with our demon tribe for a temporary dispute. Do you think this is worth it?"

  Fuxi's words made everyone present have some thoughts. Ah! If they were in the position of the demon master Kunpeng, would they be able to make such a great sacrifice for the demon tribe like him? The answer is no, the preciousness of the innate spiritual treasure is well known to all, and no one is willing to give up an innate spiritual treasure.

  At this time, the demon emperor Di Jun also felt that he had done something excessive, but unfortunately, things could no longer be undone. However, he also found a glimmer of inspiration from Kun Peng's actions. He then said: "The departure of Demon Master Kun Peng is already a foregone conclusion, and even if we regret it now, it's useless. I have gained some insight from the demon master's actions, and I would like to discuss with everyone whether it is feasible."

  Dong Huang Taiyi said, "Big brother, if you have any ideas, just say it straight out. My demon clan isn't going to die without Kunpeng, we still have Nüwa Niangniang. Nüwa Niangniang has already become a saint, what can Kunpeng do to compare with her?" Dong Huang Taiyi was belittling Kunpeng while also flattering Nüwa Niangniang at the same time.

  The Demon Emperor Jyun said, "Since the demon master Kunpeng can think of a way to let the ancestor witch Houtu reincarnate in the six paths, can't we also think of a way to make other ancestors fall? In this way, we can weaken the power of the witch tribe and reasonably avoid the law of the Taoist ancestor Hongjun. What do you all think?"

  Everyone who heard the suggestion of Emperor Jun's demonization applauded, but they never thought that it was precisely because of this suggestion that the demon clan's fortune suffered a great loss.

  Nüwa had already attained enlightenment and understood the workings of heaven, knowing that the downfall of the Youyao tribes was predetermined by fate. However, she still wanted to use her own power to save the You tribe. The You tribe's leaders, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, were the mainstays of the tribe, while Kunpeng, although talented, had far less prestige within the tribe than Dijun and Taiyi, which was also one of Nüwa's main reasons for giving up on Kunpeng.

  Fuxi Daxian said, "This plan is good, but you must not forget about Hou Tu. Although she has transformed into the six paths of reincarnation and cannot take a step out of the underworld, this does not mean that she cannot communicate with the Wu tribe."

  Dong Huang Ta Yi said doubtfully: "Has Fuxi Dasheng been overthinking, the Wu tribe has never cultivated their yuan Shen, how can they calculate our actions?"

  Fuxi the Great Sage said: "The ancestral witch Hou Tu transformed into the six paths of reincarnation, seeking a thread of life for the countless living beings in the vast wilderness. Such great merit is second only to Pangu's opening of the sky. After absorbing such great merit, her current cultivation should have already allowed her to attain enlightenment and become a saint. However, because her body has transformed into the six paths of reincarnation, she cannot attain enlightenment and become a saint. But this does not mean that she cannot possess the same calculating abilities as a saint."

  Dong Huang Taiyi's heart moved slightly after hearing Fuxi's words, and he said: "Fuxi Dasheng's words are reasonable, but we have missed one person, that is the demon master Kunpeng. This person has a narrow mind, and he also has an old relationship with Zu Wu Hou Tu. I'm afraid he will secretly support the witch tribe, if so, my demon tribe will be in danger."

  Fuxi Dasheng, upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, was thoroughly disheartened by him. He had never thought that as the Demon Emperor, Donghuang Taiyi would still think of taking advantage of the situation to exact revenge on Kunpeng.

  Fuxi said: "Is it the intention of the Eastern Emperor to severely punish the evil master?"

  The Eastern Emperor Taizhen said with a serious face: "For the sake of the demon clan's future, it can only be this way."

  Everyone who saw Dong Huang Taiyi's expression couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "What are you pretending to be, you just want to take the opportunity to strike back at Kunpeng, saying it's for the sake of the demon tribe."

  Fuxi sighed, "If the Eastern Emperor really wants to do this, then the demon tribe will be exterminated without waiting for the battle with the witch tribe. If you really want to act unilaterally, then I will withdraw from the Heavenly Court, so as not to be implicated."

  The Jade Emperor Jun saw Fuxi wanting to leave the Heavenly Court and hurriedly said, "Fuxi Dasheng, don't be like this. Taiyi is just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously. However, with Kunpeng's power, it seems that it can't shake the Heavenly Court."

  Fuxi said: "The Eastern Emperor gave birth to this thought, the Heavenly Way must have a response. The demon master Kunpeng has high attainments, but after all, he is not a saint. Relying on his own strength, it is impossible to contend with the heavenly court. But none of you have thought about how much merit and virtue the demon master Kunpeng has accumulated over the years. If he didn't lack the great way, he would have become a saint long ago. He has such great merit and virtue protecting him, whoever kills him will suffer heavenly punishment, even saints dare not kill him."

  Nüwa nodded and said, "That's right. With great virtue protecting his body, no one dares to move Kunpeng, not even a saint. Under the heavenly punishment, even saints can fall."

  Dong Huang Tai Yi said, "Kun Peng only obtained the merit of protecting humanity, the merit of the six paths of reincarnation should be obtained by Hou Tu, how can his merit compare to that of Nüwa?"

  Fuxi said, "Dong Huang's words are different. Kunpeng's merits in protecting the human race are indeed not as good as Nüwa's, but Hou Tu's reincarnation was facilitated by Kunpeng alone, and he also gave up a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure for this. He has at least three successful merits. After Hou Tu's reincarnation in the six paths, it wasn't long before the Heavenly Way bestowed another great merit. We don't know how much of this merit Kunpeng got, so his many merits are second only to Nüwa."

  The Emperor Jun asked: "The Taoist founder once said that without the great Tao's machine, one can also become a saint. Why hasn't Kunpeng become a saint with such great merit?"

  Nüwa said: "Having the Great Dao's mechanism and not having the Great Dao's mechanism, both can become saints, but the requirements for becoming a saint are different between the two. Under the same circumstances, having the Great Dao's mechanism can become a saint, so Kunpeng's merits are many, but he has not become a saint. Moreover, I observe that he should be walking the path of cutting off the three corpses to become a saint, and the merits bestowed by the Heavenly Dao have not been absorbed by him. From this, it seems that he is probably trying to use these merits to refine a post-heavenly treasure to suppress his own destiny."

  Fuxi said, "I also think that Kunpeng has this idea, so I once wanted to borrow his merits to suppress the aura of my demon clan, but unfortunately Kunpeng completely broke off relations with my demon clan."

  Dong Huang Taiyi said: "The luck of the demon clan is already enough to be suppressed by Nüwa Niangniang and my 'Hundun Bell', whether there is Kunpeng or not makes no difference."

  Fuxi shook his head and said, "It can't be said that way. With Kunpeng around, we have an extra chance of winning against the Wu tribe. The Wu tribe was transformed from Pangu's essence and blood, and they already have the merit of Pangu opening up the sky to suppress their aura. Moreover, with Houtu transforming into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, their aura is much more powerful than that of my demon tribe."

  Nüwa nodded and said, "The Taoist ancestor has an order that we cannot intervene in the struggle between the Wu and Yao tribes. Moreover, I have absorbed all the merits I have obtained, so I am unable to help the Yao tribe suppress the aura of the Wu tribe. The departure of Kunpeng is indeed a great loss for our Yao tribe. However, since I have become a saint, although I cannot directly lend a hand to assist the Yao tribe, I can cover up the heavenly mechanism, making it impossible for them to calculate the actions of the Yao tribe."

  Di Jun heard Nüwa say so, and excitedly said: "Then I'll have to trouble you, goddess."
