The Demon Emperor Hall, as the supreme center of power for the Demon Clan, is also the most magnificent building in the entire Demon Court.

It is located at the center of countless Heavenly Palace treasures, surrounded by 365 towering giant pillars, each inscribed with patterns of stars and various precious birds and auspicious beasts, as if they were alive and ready to break free and howl to the heavens at any moment.

Under the protection of these giant pillars, a majestic and imposing grand hall stands towering amongst the clouds, surrounded by golden light that streams around and shines with a dazzling brilliance within the mist.

The interior of the Treasure Hall is sumptuously luxurious, adorned everywhere with glittering gold and splendid carvings, and directly above sit two colossal thrones inlaid with all sorts of gemstones, exuding exceptional opulence.

At this moment, two young men with similar appearances are sitting upright on these two thrones.

The man on the left is tall and valiant, dressed in a pale golden brocade robe, with a strikingly handsome face, phoenix-like eyes, and an imposing demeanor that naturally commands respect, embodying the aura of a ruler.

The man to the right is slightly slender, wearing a plain white robe embroidered with silver patterns, a masterpiece of exquisite beauty.

His matchlessly handsome features cannot hide a sense of aloof disdain; under a high-bridged nose, his thin lips are lighter than most, revealing a calm yet cold gaze as he overlooks below, his indifferent eyes seeming to isolate everything outside with an innate chill.

"Your servant pays respects to the Demon Emperor! Greetings to Emperor Donghuang!"

Bai Ze, dressed in a white robe and exuding grace, enters the grand hall and respectfully salutes the two young men seated on the thrones.

The Demon Emperor sitting on the left throne speaks with a smile, "My Dao friend, there is no need for such formal courtesy."

Next to him, Emperor Donghuang utters a soft "hm" and then stares at Bai Ze, asking, "Has Red Cloud disclosed the whereabouts of the Hongmeng Purple Qi yet?"

Bai Ze shakes his head, speaking earnestly, "The Demon Master is still interrogating, but Red Cloud insists that the Hongmeng Purple Qi is not with him, even making a heavenly oath to prove it... In my view of his expression, he does not seem to be lying. Therefore, I have come specifically to consult Your Highnesses on how we should proceed next."

"Not with him?"

Demon Emperor Emperor Jun slightly furrows his brow, looking at Bai Ze, "What does the Demon Master think of this?"

Bai Ze hesitates briefly, but still speaks seriously, "Reporting to both Your Highnesses, while we were interrogating that Red Cloud, he mentioned that half a meeting earlier, the Demon Master had already approached him to coerce the location of the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

"Oh, so there was such a matter?"

Demon Emperor Emperor Jun's eyebrows lift slightly, turning his head to Donghuang Taiyi at his side, "It seems the Demon Master had more foresight than the two of us."

"Strange."

Donghuang Taiyi softly grunts, his indifferent gaze sweeping over Bai Ze, and speaks indifferently, "Did the Demon Master say anything else? Like... how did he come to know this matter?"

Bai Ze shakes his head, earnest again, "The Demon Master only said he came across this information unintentionally and sought to press Red Cloud for answers, but to no avail... The Demon Master was also probing from me why Your Excellency is so confident that the Hongmeng Purple Qi is on Red Cloud?"

Hearing this, Demon Emperor Emperor Jun looks at Bai Ze with a smile, "The answer is not only sought by the Demon Master, is it?"

Bai Ze quickly bows and clenches his fists, "I dare not deceive Your Highnesses, I am indeed quite curious... I have the divine talent to know the affairs of the world.

As long as people in the world discuss something, I can almost always be aware of it.

Regarding the topic of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, there has been scarce mention by the Immortal Gods in the recent half-meeting.

That is why I am also curious, why suddenly the two of Your Highnesses are so certain that the Hongmeng Purple Qi is with Red Cloud?"

Emperor Jun glances at Taiyi next to him and noticing the latter's still indifferent demeanor, turns back, looks at Bai Ze with a smile and says, "My Dao friend, you are both mine and my brother's right-hand man, there is no harm in telling you... Recently, I have calculated the Heavenly Mechanism using the River Map and Luo Book and found that a tremendous variable affecting the future had emerged.

Therefore, Taiyi used the power of the Chaos Bell to travel through time and space to search for this variable.

Eventually, in a certain time and space of the future, he saw that during Red Cloud's comprehension of the Daoist Law on Yuanjiao Immortal Island in the East Sea, just as he was about to sever his evil corpse, a noble and indescribable majestic purple Qi astonishingly emerged above Yuanjiao Immortal Island!"

"So that's how it is." Bai Ze suddenly enlightened, "It is rumored that Hongmeng Purple Qi evolved from fragments of the Daoist Law and helps in enlightenment.

It seems that Red Cloud indeed carries the Hongmeng Purple Qi with him, but he may not even know it himself, as it only manifests when contemplating the Daoist Law!"

He does not bother to ask the foolish question of why Donghuang Taiyi, having seen the Hongmeng Purple Qi in the future, did not simply take it.

As a Quasi-Saint with immense power, he had some understanding of the Time Dao Law and knew that any changes to the timeline would incur the Heavenly Dao's punishment.

Moreover, the greater the change, the more severe the punishment the Heavenly Dao bestows.

Like the supreme treasure, the Hongmeng Purple Qi, if it were taken from the future to the present, the originally uncertain future would be as if it was solidified in advance!

This is an event far more severe than altering the past.

At that time, even they, as Quasi-Saints, would not be able to ignore the retribution brought down by the Heavenly Dao.

Emperor Jun nodded slightly, "Correct. The Taoist Ancestor once said that the seventh strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi would choose its own master. It's not impossible that Red Cloud doesn't know he's been chosen.

Now that we know this, we can take advantage while Red Cloud has yet to refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and preemptively seize it!"

Bai Ze nodded and said excitedly to Taiyi and Emperor Jun, "Emperor Donghuang controls the Chaos Bell, capable of freely traveling through time and space, and understands the past and the future; Demon Emperor controls the River Map and Luo Book, able to foresee the enemy's moves and strategize from within the tent...

With the two emperors leading the way, the unification of the Primordial myriad tribes by our Demon Clan Heavenly Court is imminent!"

Emperor Jun smiled indulgently, looking at Bai Ze, "Right now, the Witch Clan, Dragon Clan, and the Independent Immortals led by the East King and The Queen Mother of the West, are not to be trifled with. In recent years, Heavenly Court's expansion has faced many obstacles.

But if we acquire the Hongmeng Purple Qi, our Heavenly Court will have a Saint to stand guard!

Then unifying the myriad tribes of Primordial will be a matter of course!

Therefore, I hope my friend can think of a way to secure the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Red Cloud... Remember, do not speak of this to others, and do not harm Red Cloud's life!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my utmost, worthy of Your Majesty's trust!"

Bai Ze gave a respectful bow, then bowed and took his leave, hastily moving towards the Treasure Hall where Red Cloud Ancestor was imprisoned.

After he left, Emperor Jun said with a smile, "Bai Ze is wise and clever, with him taking action, it's likely we have a chance to snare the Hongmeng Purple Qi. When the time comes, you absorb and refine this strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi and take the opportunity to achieve Sainthood as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly and the indifference that had been on his face finally faded away, replaced by a look of deep surprise.

"Why would my brother give me this chance to achieve Sainthood?"

"It's because you possess greater talent, and with the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, naturally accompanying you, whether in terms of Dao Xing or mana, you are above me…" Emperor Jun said with a matter-of-fact smile: "If you absorb and refine the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the chances of you achieving Sainthood will be even greater!"

A touch of emotion flashed in the eyes of Donghuang Taiyi, but he quickly calmed down.

He looked at Emperor Jun seriously and said, "If I can achieve Sainthood, I will spare no effort to help my brother secure his Saint Position as well!"

Emperor Jun nodded and smiled, "If you and I, as brothers, achieve Dao together, we will be like The Three Pure Ones! But before that, would you consider again the matter I have previously mentioned to you?"

Donghuang Taiyi's eyebrows knitted slightly.

"My brother refers to my marriage with Chang Xi Fairy?"

"Exactly!"

Emperor Jun smiled and said, "You and I, brothers, were born of the Taiyang Star, while Xi He and Chang Xi, the sisters, were nurtured by the Taiyin Star. Our brotherhood and their sisterhood are naturally predestined pairs.

If we brothers can marry the two Taiyin Goddesses at the same time, that would also be a remarkable tale."

"You know me," Donghuang Taiyi said indifferently: "I eagerly seek the Dao and pay little heed to other matters; even this position as Donghuang is for better suppression of the Heavenly Court's fortune... In short, it's impossible for me to take Chang Xi Fairy as my Dao companion."

"You haven't even met her... At least meet her once, right?" Emperor Jun said helplessly.

Speaking, he flicked a speck of spirit light, transforming it into a stunningly beautiful feminine illusion in the air.

Donghuang Taiyi glanced at it, and it seemed as if a spark ignited in his eyes.

"How about... just meeting her once?"

Knowing full well the innate indifference of Taiyi, who had no such expectations, Emperor Jun was slightly taken aback at the words and then quickly got up with a smile, "Then it's settled, I'll go to Taiyin Star and discuss it with Xi He."
