Chapter 40 We are both demons, how can we submit to others? We should rule the demon race and be kin
Di Jun was shocked by Niu Ben's superior bloodline. His cold and stern face melted like ice and snow: "Young friend, I am Di Jun of the demon race. I have come today to pay my respects to my Supreme Senior Brother!"
Niu Ben recognized the newcomer's identity just now; in the entire prehistoric world, there were only two three-legged golden crows.
There will be ten more little golden crows in the future, but according to the timeline of the prehistoric era, the Demon Emperor and the Moon Goddess Xihe have not yet achieved their heavenly marriage, so naturally those ten little golden crows do not exist.
However, Di Jun's attitude surprised Niu Ben somewhat.
Legend has it that both the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were extremely domineering, and seeing them today, I can see that the rumors are indeed unreliable.
Niu Ben returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Master just informed me that distinguished guests have arrived and specifically asked me to wait here!"
Di Jun couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart. He hadn't expected that the Supreme Lord had already foreseen that he would come to find him and had specially ordered someone to wait for him here. Would this matter succeed?
He looked at Niu Ben with anticipation, his attitude becoming even more amiable: "Please lead the way, young friend!"
"please!"
Niu Ben made an inviting gesture, and then led Di Jun to the Supreme Daoist Temple.
The Supreme Lord was already waiting there, exuding a rich aura of the Dao and nature.
"Di Jun greets his Supreme Senior Brother!"
As he performed the ceremony, Di Jun was still deeply shocked. Just moments before, he had discovered that the three corpses on the platform had been severed, and the aura emanating from them was extremely terrifying.
To him, the aura of the Supreme Being was like the vast and profound endless chaotic sea, something he could only look up to.
Is this the Supreme Being, the head of the Three Pure Ones?
Have Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian also severed their three corpses?
The Three Pure Ones share the same origin and are born from the same source, just like him and his younger brother, Donghuang Taiyi. Their cultivation levels are almost the same, and both of them have severed their two corpses. His younger brother even has the Chaos Bell, a treasure born with him, so his true combat power may be even higher than his.
The brothers' fate was largely due to the luck of the demon race.
The path to sainthood by severing the three corpses requires extremely high luck.
The stronger one's luck, the faster one's cultivation speed.
The Three Pure Ones did not rely on luck, but only on their own abilities; no wonder they became divinely ordained saints.
They are simply three terrifying beings.
At this moment, his resolve to win over the Three Pure Ones became even stronger.
Taishang just now intentionally revealed his cultivation level. He had no intention of participating in the conflicts of the primordial world; he only wanted to attain the Great Dao.
It was something he had expected that the demon emperor Jun would come looking for him.
Now that the Purple Mansion Celestial Court has won over the two from the West, once they become saints, they will surely take revenge on the Demon Clan Heavenly Court. If they do not have a powerful backer and cannot produce a saint belonging to the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, they will inevitably be severely suppressed, and may even be wiped out in one fell swoop.
The Three Pure Ones became the biggest target for the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race to win them over.
Taishang knew perfectly well what was going on, but pretended not to know anything and instead asked with a smile, "Dijun, what brings you to my Kunlun Mountain?"
Di Jun didn't hide anything, and besides, he couldn't hide it anyway, so he might as well get straight to the point and show his sincerity.
He cupped his hands in a respectful bow, directly demonstrating his abilities.
"Senior Brother Taishang, we have come to invite the Three Pure Ones to join our Demon Clan's Heavenly Court!"
"If the three senior brothers agree, the Demon Clan Heavenly Court can allocate three of the thirty-three heavens as the Three Pure Ones' Daoist temples. At the same time, they can share the Demon Clan's fortune and have the same status as the Demon Emperor of our Demon Clan Heavenly Court!"
The conditions he offered were more sincere than those offered by the Eastern King.
Sharing status means that the Three Pure Ones can sit and stand on the same level as the two great demon emperors, and the fortune of the demon race will also be shared.
Di Jun went all out.
Niu Ben, listening from behind, secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. He truly deserved to be called a born emperor, far superior to that unlucky Dong Wang Gong.
He was also curious about what the Supreme Lord would choose.
Di Jun's heart was in his throat, his eyes filled with anticipation.
He has shown the utmost sincerity.
Even if the Supreme Lord makes more outrageous demands, he can consider them appropriately. Right now, the Demon Clan Heavenly Court is looking for a legitimate backer.
At the same time, it was also to find a legitimate reason.
The Supreme Being's joining them not only meant that the future Heavenly Court of the Demon Race would have three more destined saints, but also demonstrated an attitude.
The Dao Ancestor merely bestowed upon him the position of the head of the male immortals of the Eastern King Palace.
The Three Pure Ones were the three direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor. When they openly joined the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, the Eastern King Duke no longer held the moral high ground. The Demon Clan's Heavenly Court took direct action, and no one could say anything about it.
The Supreme Being smiled gently: "No need!"
"We three brothers are used to a life of quiet cultivation and dislike the strife of the primordial world. That is not the way of the Three Pure Ones. Junior Brother Dijun, you should go back!"
Upon hearing this rejection, Di Jun felt disappointed, but the Supreme Lord had already made it very clear that the Dao of the Three Pure Ones did not lie here, so it was impossible for them to join the Purple Mansion Immortal Court of the Eastern Duke.
This is good news amidst bad news!
"Niu'er, see the guest out!"
Niu Ben escorted Di Jun to the entrance of Kunlun Mountain.
Di Jun pondered deeply, his gaze fixed on Niu Ben, growing increasingly alarmed with each passing moment.
Judging from Taishang's attitude just now, this ox must be a page of Taishang. We can try to win him over. Moreover, with his powerful bloodline and background, even if he can't become a saint in the future, he will at least be a quasi-saint.
With the Supreme Being as his backer, anyone who dares to target him is courting death. This ox will certainly not fall, and becoming a Quasi-Saint is only a matter of time.
Moreover, if Niu Ben joins the party, others will assume that it's a sign of the Three Pure Ones' attempt to favor one side, unless they deliberately explain it.
"Young friend, I see you're also a demon. How about it, are you interested in coming to the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court?"
"If you are willing to join me, I can grant you the status of a Demon God. In the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, the Demon God's status is second only to the Demon Emperor, and he will command hundreds of millions of demons."
Niu Ben truly did not expect that the Demon Emperor Jun, having failed to win over the Three Pure Ones, would turn his attention to him instead.
Good heavens, those abacus beads are practically hitting his face.
Once he chose to join, it was tantamount to dragging the Three Pure Ones into the quagmire as well.
Just as he was about to refuse.
Suddenly, the system's voice came from his mind.
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, Master, for triggering a god-level choice]
[Option 1: Agree to Di Jun's request to serve as an official in the demon race, and you will receive a top-tier innate spiritual vein!]
[Option 2: Refuse. As a fellow king of the demon race, how can I submit to others? I shall reign supreme over the demon race and become king. You will receive a Spirit Treasure Forging Scroll!]
Niu Ben's lips twitched slightly when he saw the options provided by the system.
A top-tier innate spiritual vein is indeed an excellent cultivation resource, but with a system in his body, why bother with the arduous task of cultivation on his own? That would make him seem foolish.
Besides, is he someone who lacks those little resources?
It is backed by a blessed land of saints, and is merely a spiritual vein.
Moreover, even if he doesn't get a reward for option two, he will still choose option two without hesitation.
How brainless must he be to want to join the demon race?
The Lich Wars that followed were a cataclysmic event!
Will I benefit from joining this myself?
