The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 260 - 206: The Incident at the Birthday Celebration

Chapter 260: Chapter 206: The Incident at the Birthday Celebration

"Hahaha, Qingmingzi Fellow Daoist, we have been eagerly waiting for you!" As soon as Li Qingming appeared at the entrance of Lingxiao Palace, Di Jun greeted him with hearty laughter.

The rest of the great powers of the Demon Race in the hall also stood up from their seats. They had to stand; this person was too significant to provoke, such that even the Western Two Saints feared him.

Li Qingming smiled and bowed to everyone, saying, "Your Majesties and fellow ministers had to wait for me alone, it is indeed my fault!"

Di Jun quickly supported Li Qingming, saying, "Fellow Daoist, your words are too heavy! Without your help, the Four Seas would have fallen into others’ hands long ago. We have long lives, what harm is there in spending a little more time?"

Li Qingming laughed heartily, "You and I are both of the Demon Race, isn’t it too detached to shirk each other?"

Kunpeng darted from behind Li Qingming and said, "Your Majesties, no more formalities, if we do not start the banquet now, the fellow Daoists in the hall might just cause some trouble!"

Li Qingming and Di Jun exchanged glances and laughed heartily.

Di Jun led Li Qingming into the grand hall and with a wave of his hand commanded, "Xiezhi, go invite the ten princes and the princesses into the hall, order it to be so. Let the banquet begin!"

Soon, a procession of charming maids entered from outside the hall, carrying exquisite trays filled with delicacies and fine foods, the floating fragrant scents filling the air, making fingers twitch and mouths water.

The demons all lifted their cups, talking and laughing with each other, displaying a bold spirit.

At that moment, a sudden "quack quack" sounded from outside the hall, followed by bursts of scorching heat waves and chilling air. They all put down what was in their hands and turned their heads in confusion to look towards the entrance.

What they saw should not be taken lightly; ten Little Golden Crows were frolicking under the verdant Cangqiong sky, occasionally releasing streams of True Sun Fire.

Upon entering the grand hall, they showed no restraint, burning some of the demon ministers to a charred state, each looking formidable in front of their subordinates. However, in the eyes of these princes, these ministers were nothing, merely toys with a bit higher cultivation. Thus, although the ministers were charred and in a sorry state, they dared not complain and could only rue their bad luck.

As for the other great powers of the Demon Race, they had fewer concerns. When the True Sun Fire approached, they simply waved a stream of Mana to envelop themselves, and continued to drink and eat without care.

Seeing the chaos caused by the Golden Crows, even burning the esteemed demons, Di Jun instantly became furious, and with a wave of his hand, he confined them, scolding, "You little rascals, how dare you be so rude, stay here quietly for me!"

Except for Lu Ya who faintly felt that their behavior was a bit improper, the rest of the Golden Crow princes still did as they pleased. It had been several years since their birth, and Di Jun had never been angry with them. The sudden outburst today quite confused these youngsters.

The only one who could speak, the Eldest Prince, was stunned for a moment and then shrieked, "Father Emperor, we are noble princes, merely bullying some subordinates, what’s wrong with that?"

Hearing this, Di Jun became even angrier and raised his hand to slap the Eldest Prince’s head.

Yet Li Qingming, smiling, said to Di Jun, "Your Majesty, do not be angry. The little ones don’t understand, a scolding will suffice, why resort to hitting?"

"Yes, big brother!" Taiyi also chimed in from the side: "Big brother, it’s good for little ones to be mischievous. Look at our youngsters, quiet and obedient enough but too weak! With such characters, how can they survive in this ruthless Primordial Chaos?"

At this time, the Moon Rabbit Princesses had just entered from outside the hall, each holding her instrument, looking extremely adorable.

As the Golden Crows and Moon Rabbits took their seats, Di Jun stood up again and said, "It’s rare that fellow Daoists hold me, Di Jun, in high esteem, and honor our invitation to attend my children’s birthday celebration. Today, let’s not speak of conflicts, only of pleasures. May all the fellows present drink to their heart’s content and return fully satisfied!"

"Alright, since Emperor Di Jun has said so! What are we waiting for? I will first congratulate Your Majesties on the addition to your family, a lineage secured!" This speaker was none other than the Yellow Wind Demon brothers who had just rushed over from Yellow Wind Ridge.

"Thank you, fellow Daoists! Please drink this cup to the full!" Di Jun laughed heartily, lifting his cup and draining it in one gulp.

Thus, with the encouragement of the Yellow Wind Demon brothers, the great demons frequently toasted to Di Jun and Taiyi, and even Li Qingming and Kunpeng could not escape the enthusiastic hold of the demons of the Primordial Land.

While the great powers of the Demon Race were exchanging drinks in the Palace of the Polestar, outside at the South Heavenly Gate, another strong wave of Mana erupted, followed by a hearty roar, "Hahaha, hearing Di Jun and Taiyi host a birthday celebration for their children, we brothers specifically came to ask for a drink of water and wine!"

Hearing this, Di Jun momentarily hesitated, a sharp gleam crossing his eyes, "Gonggong, that youngster?"

"Big brother, today is a day of great joy; is the Witch Tribe up to mischief again?" Taiyi’s brow furrowed slightly, his tone laden with anger.

"Let’s go out and see!" Di Jun pinched his brow between his fingers, stood up, and said, "Fellow Daoists, please continue your meal, I will return shortly!"

After the conversation, they left the Palace of the Polestar, heading towards the outside of the South Heavenly Gate.

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, Gonggong and Zhu Rong, two of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, stood side by side, oddly without a single soldier.

Di Jun and Taiyi exchanged a glance, approached and said, "Gonggong, Zhu Rong, today is the birthday celebration of my son and niece, we do not wish to fight with you! It would be best for you to leave quickly!"

"Nonsense! Who the hell said I’m here to fight with you, can’t you understand human speech? I’m here to celebrate!" Gonggong spat fiercely and said.

"Gonggong, my elder brother is speaking kindly to you, keep your mouth clean!" Taiyi shouted angrily: "Not wanting to fight doesn’t mean we are afraid of you, what’s there for you to be arrogant about!"

Zhu Rong pulled Gonggong aside, exaggeratedly twisted his butt, and said, "Hahaha, if you dare, come hit me! I am asking for it!"

Taiyi’s eyes flashed with fierce light, angrily said, "Seeking death!" Saying so, he took off the Chaos Bell from his waist, golden True Sun Essence spouting, fully infusing into the Chaos Bell.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!" The loud Law Chime Sound emanated from the Chaos Bell, golden ripples washing over Zhu Rong slowly but surely.

Zhu Rong quickly transformed into his Ancestor Witch God form, his body igniting into blazing flames. This flame was called Southern Ming Leaving Fire, reddish-purple in color, concealing hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature, even fiercer than the Sun Essence Fire.

"Good timing!" Zhu Rong roared loudly, the Southern Ming Leaving Fire in his palm took shape and broke free, turning into a blazing Fire Phoenix, lunging towards the ripple-like Law Chime Sound.

"Boom!" The two collided, completely annihilating each other.

"Second brother, wait for your elder brother to help you!" Seeing that Taiyi’s strike missed, Di Jun immediately knew Zhu Rong was tough to deal with, roared loudly, and was about to go forward to battle.

But before he moved more than a few meters, a long howl was heard, followed by a flash of black light before him, Gonggong appeared, with a serpent’s head, body winding around a Black Dragon, covered with black scale armor.

"You guys, the grand Demon Emperor, actually want to fight two against one, isn’t that disgraceful?" Gonggong’s eyes were blood-red, his hands flashed with a dark luster, lunging towards Di Jun’s face.

Having transformed into an Ancestor Witch form, Gonggong’s speed seemed much faster. Seeing Gonggong attack, Di Jun nonchalantly used the River Diagram to block, not expecting that Gonggong’s power would break through.

Unexpectedly, Gonggong, who was close at hand, suddenly flashed behind Di Jun. A Black Tiger Heart-Digging move struck hard on Di Jun’s back. Then his moves changed continuously from Tiger Claw to Leopard Fist, direct attacks towards Di Jun’s head.

Originally not intending to join the battle, Kunpeng sighed, used the Demon Master Palace, and neutralized Gonggong’s move.

Di Jun took this opportunity, jumped aside, lightly coughed, and said, "Cough cough, despicable!"

Gonggong licked his somewhat dry lips, said, "In war, deceit is expected!" After speaking, he attacked again.

Meanwhile, Taiyi and Zhu Rong, each with their own strengths, couldn’t overcome each other for the moment.

Taiyi, caught in a frenzy, roared, "Heaven and Earth!"

As the roar fell, Taiyi’s body suddenly grew to tens of thousands of feet tall, the ancient Chaos Bell emitting a yellowish light screen, firmly wrapping around Taiyi’s flesh. Taiyi simply adopted the Witch Tribe’s fighting technique, exchanging punches with Zhu Rong.

After so many years, since the armistice of ten thousand years between Witches and Demons was lifted, although there were continuous fights, the top powers had never engaged in such combat. This gave the Twelve Ancestor Witches, those violent beings, an irresistible itch. Now, with such a good opportunity to have a full fight, Gonggong and Zhu Rong wouldn’t miss this chance.

The two Ancestor Witches’ eyes brimmed with excitement for battle, their brows revealing joy and satisfaction.

They might be exhilarated, but Di Jun and Taiyi, who were fighting the two Ancestor Witches, were filled with anxiety and helplessness. On a joyful day, while guests were enjoying drinks, these two bothersome fellows suddenly disrupted everything, how could Di Jun and Taiyi not be angry?

"Second brother, let’s not waste more time!" Just then, Di Jun suddenly shouted, breaking away from the battle, and Taiyi similarly exchanged the last punch with Zhu Rong, using the momentum of the punch to move beside Di Jun.

Then, Di Jun raised his palm, his mana surging, all flowing towards the River Diagram and Luo Book in front of him.

On the River Diagram according to the positions of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, fifty-five small light points were arranged, while the Luo Book had forty-four small light points arranged according to the attacking positions. All these light points lit up at once. Then, outside in Primordial Land, the brightest ninety-nine stars suddenly lit up, casting infinite brilliance, all converging on the River Diagram and Luo Book.

This Array was called the Little Cycle Star Formation, developed by Di Jun based on the characteristics of the Star Disk over several Primordial Meetings, a portable Array that could be deployed anytime.(To be continued.
