Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 286 - 226: The Failure of East King

Compared to Di Jun, East King felt that The Three Pure Ones from Kunlun Mountain seemed more capable of helping his Immortal Court.

After all, it was Taiching Laozi who had intervened twice to save himself and the Immortal Court during crises.

East King came to Kunlun Mountain and soon found the location of The Three Pure Ones within this vast mountain.

He looked at the Array in front of him and shouted loudly, "Immortal Court’s East King has come to visit Taiching Daoist Friend, Yuqing Daoist Friend, and Shang Qing Daoist Friend."

Taiching Laozi opened his eyes, his expression calm and undisturbed.

Yuqing Yuanshi looked towards the outside of the Array and softly said, "Immortal Court’s East King."

Shang Qing Tong Tian also opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing.

The Three Pure Ones left their own cultivation spots and came to their common hall for deliberation.

Cultivation is actually a private affair, and since the three of them pursued different paths of the Immortal Dao, they naturally cultivated separately.

As The Three Pure Ones met, Yuqing Yuanshi directly looked at his elder brother Taiching Laozi and asked, "Shall we let the Immortal Court’s East King come in?"

Shang Qing Tong Tian also directed his gaze towards his elder brother.

After all, they both knew and valued the acts of help their elder brother had previously extended to the Immortal Court.

Taiching Laozi, still with a calm demeanor, said, "Since East King Daoist Friend has already found his way here, let him come in first."

Upon hearing their elder brother’s words, both Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian nodded without speaking.

Just after Taiching Laozi’s words fell, East King, outside the Array, heard Taiching Laozi’s voice.

"East King Daoist Friend, please come in."

The Array guarding The Three Pure Ones opened, creating a pathway.

Seeing this, East King couldn’t help but show a hint of joy on his face and immediately walked in.

Following the path created by the Array, East King went straight to the hall where The Three Pure Ones were.

The grand doors of the hall were open, and East King could see The Three Pure Ones seated inside.

East King did not hesitate and stepped into the hall.

"I have seen Taiching Daoist Friend, Yuqing Daoist Friend, Shang Qing Daoist Friend."

"We have seen East King Daoist Friend."

The Three Pure Ones said in unison.

"East King Daoist Friend, please take a seat."

Taiching Laozi said with an unchanged expression.

Once he saw East King seated on the cushion, he immediately asked, "East King Daoist Friend, why are you not cultivating on Penglai Immortal Island but instead came to Kunlun Mountain?"

East King spoke straightforwardly, with a troubled expression.

"I won’t hide from the three Daoist friends, I came here seeking your aid."

"The power of the Witch Clan is vast now, and my Immortal Court is struggling greatly."

"I plead for the aid of the three Daoist Friends on the basis of the Immortal Court being the inheritance of Daoist Ancestor, to help fight against the Witch Clan and preserve the Immortal Court."

East King looked at The Three Pure Ones with hopeful eyes, wishing they would intervene.

With The Three Pure Ones, his own Immortal Court, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, they should be able to counterattack the Witch Clan.

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian remained silent but looked towards Taiching Laozi.

Taiching Laozi’s face remained expressionless, and his calm voice rang out again,

"East King Daoist Friend, this matter is of great significance, allow us brothers to discuss it privately."

East King could not refuse and only replied, "Please give a response as soon as possible."

"East King Daoist Friend, please wait a moment; we will soon give you an answer."

"East King Daoist Friend, please."

Although Taiching Laozi’s voice was calm, East King could still feel an undeniable authority.

East King said no more, stood up, and left the hall to wait outside.

Yuqing Yuanshi raised his hand, and the doors of the palace slowly closed.

Seeing this, all East King could do was watch silently, expressionless.

"Yuanshi, Tong Tian, what are your opinions on this matter?"

Taiching Laozi asked blandly.

"Hmph! East King clearly wants us three brothers to exert ourselves and help him defeat the Witch Clan."

"He is indeed making a smart calculation; without the Witch Clan as an adversary, his Immortal Court could swiftly dominate the Primordial Land. What would we three brothers gain from that?"

"I think we should not interfere in this matter, and instead prioritize contemplating the Hongmeng Purple Qi to achieve sainthood sooner."

Shang Qing Tong Tian spoke straightforwardly.

His impression of East King was not very favorable.

Taiching Laozi, hearing the words of Shang Qing Tong Tian, remained unexpressive and looked towards Yuqing Yuanshi before speaking again, "Yuanshi, what about you?"

"I think what Tong Tian Junior Brother said makes sense. Our status as three brothers is highly dignified, naturally, we cannot be troubled or engage in conflicts for the sake of East King’s Immortal Court."

"Once we start fighting the Witch Clan on behalf of the Immortal Court, we become subordinated to the Immortal Court and will then be governed by it."

"What rights does East King have to govern us three brothers?"

"Moreover, his Immortal Court being recognized as the inheritance of Daoist Ancestor was merely stated by our brother, without the acknowledgment from Daoist Ancestor himself."

"Besides, as Tong Tian Junior Brother mentioned, our most important task now is contemplating the Hongmeng Purple Qi to achieve sainthood soon."

Yuqing Yuanshi also disagreed with helping East King.

Hearing Yuqing Yuanshi’s words, Taiching Laozi’s expression remained unchanged.

"Both younger brothers are right, we indeed should fully concentrate on contemplating the Hongmeng Purple Qi and not be distracted by the affairs of the Immortal Court."

Hearing Taiching Laozi’s words, Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if their elder brother insisted on helping East King, they could not ignore his decision.
