Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 60 - 55 Facing Rejection

60: Chapter 55: Facing Rejection

60 -55: Facing Rejection

Di Jun was contemplating how to decline East King’s offer.

East King, seeing Di Jun not speaking for a long time, thought it was because he hadn’t offered enough.

After all, when removing Daoist Li Huo’s residual soul just now, it was Di Jun who spoke of compensation first, let alone for such a significant matter.

“Daoist Di Jun, as long as you join my forces, your position will be like mine.”

East King looked at Di Jun and said.

This was the compensation East King had prepared; in his view, he had already made a considerable concession.

After all, the power in Zifu State was something he had started to build since the end of the Dao-Demon conflict.

To be able to share this with Di Jun was truly not easy.

Di Jun listened to East King’s words and also sensed the conflict within East King’s heart.

He knew that ultimately, East King was reluctant to let go of that position.

“Daoist East King, I think the Sun Star is quite fine, and I have no intention of getting involved with the affairs of the Primordial Continent.”

Di Jun tactfully declined.

East King naturally wasn’t content, especially after witnessing a part of Di Jun’s strength.

“Daoist Di Jun, don’t you want to establish a force as splendid as the Dao’s?”

“Don’t you want to become a figure like Hong Jun Ancestor, Yin Yang Ancestor, Qian Kun Ancestor, Dian Dao Ancestor?”

“With your strength, the current situation in Primordial is a great opportunity for you to demonstrate your abilities.”

Hearing East King’s words, Di Jun wasn’t tempted at all.

Instead, he said,

“Daoist East King, our chosen paths had already diverged during the Dao-Demon conflict.

“I am aware of your ambitions.”

“However, I am without such ambitions.

I prefer to cultivate peacefully and not get involved in the various affairs of the Primordial Continent.”

“And don’t forget, Hong Jun Ancestor was the final victor of the Dao.”

East King, seeing Di Jun’s regal bearing, didn’t believe Di Jun’s words.

“Daoist Di Jun…”

Before East King could finish, Di Jun directly interrupted.

“Daoist East King, let’s end our trip down memory lane here.

I hope there will be an opportunity for us to sit down and chat like this again in the future.”

East King gave Di Jun a profound look, knowing that even with the greatest compensation he had prepared, it still hadn’t moved Di Jun.

“Daoist Di Jun, this time it was I who disturbed you, I shall take my leave.”

Since he hadn’t achieved his main goal, East King felt no need to stay any longer.

“Taiyi, please see Daoist East King off for me.”

As Di Jun’s voice fell, Taiyi appeared beside East King.

“Let’s go.”

Taiyi said.

Without any hesitation, East King followed Taiyi and left.

Di Jun watched East King’s departing figure, with no ripples in his heart.

The images of countless lives eaten by the Witch Clan in the past hadn’t shaken Di Jun, much less East King’s promises now.

If really to join Zifu State, it would be better to establish the Demon Clan himself and become the Demon Emperor known from memories of his past life.

Nevertheless, Di Jun still appreciated East King for having brought him a moment of pleasant time.

At this moment, the Fusang Tree once again brought Di Jun a cup of Taiyang Spirit Essence, which Di Jun slowly savored.

East King followed Taiyi and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

He indeed felt significant pressure facing Di Jun, worried that if Di Jun actually agreed, East King’s status in Zifu State might sharply decline.

But facing such a powerful being as Di Jun, East King couldn’t resist the urge to align himself with him.

However, Di Jun’s decisive refusal truly allowed East King to relax.

But there was another issue to contend with—where could he gather a group of beings to help him directly confront the Witch Clan?

East King’s gaze unconsciously landed on Taiyi, and he couldn’t help but entertain an idea.

Di Jun’s brother, with a Realm Cultivation not lacking, possessing a brother like Di Jun, his strength should also be considerable.

Taiyi led East King to the edge of the Array, and East King couldn’t help but speak up, “Daoist Taiyi, with such strength, why do you stay within the Sun Star?

Why not venture into the Primordial Continent and carve out a name for yourself?”

“Daoist East King, know your limits.”

East King had just finished speaking when the sound of Di Jun’s voice reached his ears.

“Hmph!”

Feeling his Primordial Spirit tremble, East King couldn’t help but let out a stifled grunt.

At the same time, the surrounding Taiyang Fire surged, seemingly wishing to engulf East King.

Seeing the expression on East King, Taiyi knew that his elder brother has made his move, and without concealing his disdain, he sneered and then turned back to the Array.

East King naturally observed Taiyi’s demeanor, and flames of anger burned in his heart.

Yet more overwhelming was the fear; he had already overestimated Di Jun’s strength, but he had still underestimated him.

Di Jun, to what extent has his Cultivation reached, that I feel no capacity to resist against him?

East King couldn’t help but ponder this in his heart.

East King observed the Taiyang Fire seemingly surging towards him and didn’t dare to linger any longer, nor did he dwell on the matters concerning Taiyi.

He left the Sun Star without hesitation.

The moment East King left, Di Jun was already aware.

Taiyi returned to the Sun Star and, seeing Di Jun sitting at the stone table, couldn’t help but say, “Brother, I…”

Before Taiyi could finish speaking, Di Jun cut in, “When your physical strength matches your Cultivation Realm, then you may travel the Primordial Continent.”

Hearing Di Jun’s words, Taiyi joyfully said, “Yes, brother.”

His current Realm Cultivation was that of a Daluo Golden Immortal, and under his brother’s training, his physical strength was just slightly lacking.

With some effort, it wouldn’t be long before he could venture into the Primordial Continent.

Thinking of this, Taiyi became even more vigorous in drawing upon the Star Qi to refine his body, with the Chaos Bell continuously aiding him from within.

Di Jun looked at Taiyi’s diligent figure and nodded.

Taiyi had desired to venture into the Primordial Continent a long time ago, as if the continent had an inexplicable allure.

However, in the end, Di Jun suppressed that desire.

Under Di Jun’s suppression, Taiyi could truly focus on refining his own Cultivation and physical body on the Sun Star.

Now, after East King’s remarks, the ideas in Taiyi’s heart had once again surfaced.

This time, Di Jun did not intend to keep suppressing Taiyi any longer.

He had already traversed the Primordial, experienced many things, and amassed sufficient accumulation.

But Taiyi was different; moreover, he was not of a disposition to enjoy stillness.

Staying always in the Sun Star wasn’t conducive to Taiyi’s growth.

After his training, there should be a few beings in the Primordial Continent that could threaten Taiyi’s life.

Furthermore, Taiyi had the protection of the Chaos Bell.

Besides, after such a long period of suppression, it’s time for a breakthrough.
