The Primordial Free-spirited Kunpeng

Chapter 18 Heavenly Court Declares War on Ferocious Beasts

twilight

The gods of the Southern Sea Heavenly Pool all looked up, only to see ripples constantly spreading in the void, with islands passing through the depths of space. The water god of the Southern Sea Heavenly Pool was wary; even a celestial being as powerful as him did not possess such spatial control.

The famous Chinese toon tree, which took root on the island in the South China Sea, recently defeated the Vermilion Bird's clone and killed a celestial-level ferocious beast.

The Great Toon Tree did not take on a different form, nor did it choose the body of Pangu; it simply maintained its original form.

Kunpeng, dressed in black robes, surveyed his surroundings with his divine sense. After the great battle, he chose to move away from the South Sea Heavenly Pool.

"Having successfully defeated the Vermilion Bird's clone and established your authority, you can settle down at the Southern Sea Heavenly Pool. Why move away?"

When asked, Kunpeng simply replied, "It's best to be careful; things haven't been peaceful in the prehistoric world lately."

The great ailanthus tree sighed softly, "Alas, you are too cautious. You already have the fire god Zhurong as your backer!"

After destroying the celestial-level ferocious beast, the Southern Heavenly Court acknowledged Kunpeng's choice, at least it wasn't a mindless degeneration into a ferocious beast.

Defeating the Vermilion Bird clone had a significant impact. Kunpeng had expected the Vermilion Bird itself to appear, but it was dispelled by Zhu Rong.

Although she participated in the rescue of Gonggong, it was over, and Zhurong couldn't keep an eye on things all the time.

With the rise of the Demon God in the Northern Wilderness, the Demon Master Kunpeng has value in winning him over; he truly has value in uniting the people.

The old ailanthus tree remained puzzled.

In its eyes, Kunpeng had created a miracle, becoming a demon master on its own, with the great god Hongjun as its backer.

Furthermore, the friendship of the twelve witch gods will greatly enhance their power, preventing them from facing too many calamities.

"The South China Sea is vast, and the safest place is near the Southern Wilderness Continent, with the Southern Sea Heavenly Pool being the best."

Kunpeng said seriously, "We can't get close to the Southern Wilderness. Let's go to the depths of the South Sea, where there are fewer conflicts in remote places."

"Da Chun, you must remember one thing: in the primordial world, you can only rely on yourself!"

The South China Sea is vast

However, only the sea areas near the Southern Wilderness Continent are teeming with life, while the deep sea is the least vibrant, making it arguably the most desolate place in the primordial wilderness.

Innate deities are rare, and acquired deities are almost nonexistent; traces of innate beings are extremely rare.

Kunpeng constantly moved around its nest, guarding against possible retaliation from the ferocious beast clan and a possible siege from the Phoenix clan.

They usually stand guard with Da Chun, and spend half of their time cultivating.

Studies on divinity, demonic nature, and inherent nature.

He often went to Kunlun to listen to the Dao. His relationship with the Three Pure Ones was just so-so. His best relationship was with Shangqing Lingbao.

Listen to the teachings, preach the teachings, and cultivate yourself.

Even though he lived in seclusion deep in the South China Sea, he was still found by Nuwa, who, according to legend, often sent him invitations.

Enjoying flowers, drinking tea, discussing philosophy, etc.

Even Kunpeng wouldn't go, and his image of being aloof and unsympathetic spread.

However, they cannot remain completely low-key because the demon gods of the Northern Wilderness are truly ferocious, and the more dangerous the situation, the more faith they receive.

The Red Dust Guest of Zixiao Palace on Kunlun Mountain wields considerable influence; Shangqing Lingbao personally commented that "Kunpeng is the fastest among those of the same realm."

The proud Yuqing Yuanshi did not object, the arrogant Taiqing Daode nodded in approval, and Nuwa also agreed.

There was controversy at first, but after Fuxi trusted Nuwa's judgment and Dijiang personally admitted that Kunpeng was the fastest in the same realm, there was no more debate!

Kunpeng cultivates alone, ignoring the opinions of the mortal guests of Zixiao Palace; a group of monsters cannot be trusted.

The great ailanthus tree often received various messages, and it asked in great confusion, "I have also been to Kunlun, and I have also listened to the teachings at Zixiao Palace, so why is your evaluation of me so high?"

Kunpeng calmly reassured him: "It's just empty fame, why bother with it!"

The great ailanthus tree sighed, "The recognition from the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, Dijiang, and others! These beings are terrifying, second only to the Nine Heavens..."

A powerful being is always powerful.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, and others, after creating the world, were at least in the second tier.

Kunpeng could hardly explain to Dachun that these beings would be even more powerful in the future, beyond the imagination of the gods.

A year, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years—the vast expanse of time is meaningless.

The Northern Demon God has established a firm foothold and now has 360 divine kingdom strongholds. His power of faith is comparable to that of the Taiyi God King.

Beings born from the heavens are so special that they can create miracles simply by contributing some faith power. After all, they are the first generation of all living beings transformed from the great god Pangu.

The power of faith in the Northern Wilderness is as vast as the sea, and there are also many tribes in the South Sea who worship demon masters. Kunpeng is surrounded by scenes of sacrifices by eight hundred divine kingdoms.

The power of faith can lead to godhood, but Kunpeng did not choose to become a god later in life; instead, he stored the power of faith in his island lair.

By mobilizing the power of faith, he is now on par with the Taiyi God King and finally has the strength to protect himself.

However, my research on the Dao of Freedom is not deep enough, and the discovery of my true nature takes time. There are no shortcuts on this path.

Demonic and divine qualities are represented by each feather and scale.

The Kunpeng flapped its wings, its wind and thunder wings moving at incredible speed, and with each wave of its hand, it was further empowered by the Great Dao of Space and the Void Laws.

Comparable to gods and demons, the Great Dao of Freedom also has god and demon levels.

The Great Toon Tree made very little progress; it had been trapped in the Taiyi Divine King Realm for many years, and its faith power was insufficient.

"Dragon Master Fuxi, Divine Master Nuwa, Demon Master Kunpeng—no wonder you were willing to spread your teachings in this region; the power of faith is so difficult to gather!"

Kunpeng calmly remarked, "While the belief in deification is commendable, it also involves too many karmic consequences."

"Hongjun's teachings are too obscure. I don't know if it's because his level is insufficient, or if my comprehension is lacking!"

The Great Chun Tree doubted itself and Hongjun, but reached no conclusion.

While both were listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, Kunpeng made rapid progress, while Dachun stagnated, and some even regressed. It's really hard to say why.

The peaceful life was soon shattered. Kunpeng frowned slightly; a new storm had begun.

"All gods of the South, heed my command! Begin today to eradicate the ferocious beasts in all regions. The Southern Heavenly Court is ready to provide support at any time."

"Gods of the West, heed my command! Gods of the North, heed my command! Gods of the East, heed my command!"

"All gods of the Central Wilderness, heed my command! The Central Heavenly Court is ready to support all directions at any time. The primordial ferocious beasts should be destroyed."

The decree from the Nine Heavens descended

Auspicious colors shone brightly in the sky, divine light shone infinitely, and lotus flowers emerged from the earth.

The Heavenly Court declared war on the ferocious beasts directly, without any prior warning, which caused most of the gods to break down their defenses.

The innate divine beasts were not notified either. The gods' mounts felt insulted, having served the gods for so long, yet they were not even qualified to participate in the final decision-making!

Kunpeng had been preparing for battle for many years and heard many secrets in Zixiao Palace.

"Master Hongjun is very angry! The Heavenly Court's army to exterminate the ferocious beasts has no place for acquired deities to intervene!"

"Even the progenitors of the divine beasts were dissatisfied. Although they could participate in the great battle, they could only act according to the plan set by the Heavenly Court."

"The Heavenly Court will spare no effort to destroy the ferocious beasts, even if it affects the acquired deities and results in the loss of innate divine beasts!"

What about beings born naturally?

The Heavenly Court doesn't care; if a primordial being dies, it dies, and it's not a factor influencing their decisions.

The White Tiger Ancestor slammed his fist on the table, and the Black Tortoise Ancestor tried to bargain, but was directly banished by the Heavenly Court to the army of punitive expedition.

The gods of the day after tomorrow are not worthy of being included in the Heavenly Army.

Innate divine beasts are not worthy of questioning decisions.

Innate beings were completely ignored.

Kunpeng was holding a meeting in the Kunlun Mountains. He had no desire to participate in the war, but the outcome after the war began was uncertain!

Yuqing Yuanshi solemnly said, "The Divine Path of the Post-Heaven must strive for excellence. Since the Heavenly Court's army cannot join us, we can form our own army to fight independently."

Shangqing Lingbao said excitedly, "As long as our battle record catches up with that of the Innate Divine Path, then the Acquired Divine Path will be on par with us."

Taiqing Daode solemnly declared: "This proves the power of the acquired divine way, and that the Heavenly Court is no longer solely ruled by the innate divine way, but is now more equitable."

Kunpeng remained silent, observing the situation. Was it too far-fetched that the acquired gods would participate in the war simply to gain recognition from the innate gods?
