Tai Yi walked through the universe for three hundred years before collecting all the materials needed by Di Jun for the Star Flags.
After Tai Yi finished collecting, he immediately returned to the Demon Court.
In the main hall of the Demon Court, Di Jun saw Tai Yi return, his face etched with weariness, and his heart ached. He said, "Tai Yi, why don't you rest for a while before refining those Star Flags!"
Tai Yi smiled carelessly and replied, "Big Brother, it's alright, I can do it. Besides, I collected three sets of materials for each Star Flag, so there's no fear of ruining them. It's been a long time since I last opened my furnace since we arrived here, so it's good to practice. I have nothing else to do anyway!"
After Tai Yi finished speaking, he hurried back to his residence. Chang Xi, having known Tai Yi had gone out, had been waiting for him there.
Tai Yi saw Chang Xi and asked, "Chang Xi younger sister, why are you here? Aren't you and Xi He elder sister in seclusion, absorbing the insights from the teachings?"
Chang Xi looked at Tai Yi's weather-beaten face and said with concern, "Look at you, running off for hundreds of years without returning, what have you done to yourself!"
Tai Yi looked at himself. He admitted that he had become a bit disheveled in his pursuit of these materials over the years. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing, I'm a man, what's this little thing?"
Chang Xi chuckled at his words and said, "Alright, alright! Our Tai Yi brother is a big man!"
Tai Yi smiled and said, "Alright, Chang Xi younger sister, brother has things to do. I'll come find you after I'm done, okay?"
Chang Xi replied, "Okay! It's a deal, you must come find me!"
Tai Yi nodded and said, "Mhm, I will definitely come to find Chang Xi younger sister!"
After Tai Yi finished speaking, Chang Xi left Tai Yi's Eastern Emperor Palace. As soon as Chang Xi left, Tai Yi immediately rushed into his refining hall to begin forging the Star Flags!
The refining hall of Tai Yi had not been opened since Tai Yi entered it.
Seven hundred years later, the door of the refining hall slowly opened, and Tai Yi emerged, looking haggard.
Tai Yi arrived at the main hall of the Demon Court and with a wave of his hand, numerous flags appeared in the hall. Tai Yi said tiredly, "Big Brother, they are done, all of them are here. I'm going to rest now."
Before Di Jun could reply, Tai Yi turned and left.
Di Jun looked at the flags on the ground and then at Tai Yi's retreating figure. He sighed and said in a voice only he could hear, "Tai Yi, you've worked hard!"
Di Jun rose and approached the pile of flags, picking up the two largest ones for inspection. On the golden flag, the words "Sun Star" were inscribed. He then looked at the flagpole of the other flag, where the words "Lunar Star" were indeed engraved.
Seeing that the Star Flags, which could attract the power of the Star Dou, had been refined by Tai Yi, Di Jun immediately summoned the Twelve Demon Generals and ordered them to select three hundred and sixty-five Da Luo Golden Immortal realm demon cultivators.
Next, all the demon cultivators in the Demon Court were to be summoned to the Demon Court.
The Twelve Demon Generals were surprised by the grand scale of Di Jun's arrangements and, not daring to delay, immediately went to make preparations.
After Di Jun gave his orders, he collected all the Star Flags and waited outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Di Jun did not wait long before the Twelve Demon Generals arrived behind him, and the demon cultivators of the Demon Court also gathered before the Southern Heavenly Gate.
The three hundred and sixty-five Da Luo realm demon cultivators that Di Jun had ordered the Twelve Demon Generals to find also stood behind them.
Di Jun surveyed the crowd and noticed there were only three hundred and fifty-three individuals. He frowned, but with the addition of the Twelve Demon Generals, it made exactly three hundred and sixty-five.
Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Di Jun announced, "All Da Luo realm Great Demons, step forward!"
As soon as Di Jun finished speaking, the Twelve Demon Generals and the three hundred and fifty-three Great Demons behind them stepped forward, responding in unison, "Your subordinates obey!"
With a wave of Di Jun's hand, the three hundred and sixty-five Star Flags flew towards them. Di Jun declared, "Today I will demonstrate a formation. You shall obey orders without question. Those who disobey will be executed without mercy!"
As Di Jun spoke, an immense killing intent emanated from him!
The demon cultivators of the Demon Court shivered and quickly responded, "We respectfully obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree!"
Di Jun nodded, highly satisfied, and said, "These three hundred and sixty-five Star Flags correspond to three hundred and sixty-five stars. A full circuit will complete a Great Heavenly Cycle, which is the key to this formation's operation. You must not make any mistakes!"
The three hundred and sixty-five Great Demons quickly responded, "Yes!"
Their imposing auras were like a surging tide, magnificent and immense! Su Dan Novel Network
Di Jun waved his hand again, and the fourteen thousand eight hundred small Star Flags floating in the air flew towards the assembled demons. Di Jun controlled these flagpoles to land in the hands of the higher-cultivation demons. Then, Di Jun shouted again, "All demons holding Star Flags, step forward!"
The demons holding Star Flags quickly stepped out.
Di Jun looked at them and said, "Infuse your spiritual power into the Star Flags. They will guide you to your positions!"
Upon hearing this, the demons immediately poured their spiritual power into the Star Flags. The Star Flags then led the demons to positions behind the Great Demons. The Great Demons were also separated by their own Star Flags. After they stopped, some Great Demons had thirty-eight small demons behind them, while others had forty...
The fourteen thousand eight hundred small demons each found their Great Demon commanders.
Seeing this, Di Jun continued, "Daoist Fuxi, I will trouble you to command this Lunar Star Flag!"
Fuxi stepped forward and accepted the Lunar Star Flag handed to him by Di Jun.
Di Jun himself held the Sun Star Flag.
Fuxi, upon receiving the Lunar Star Flag, immediately infused his spiritual power into it, only to be repelled!
Fuxi frowned and looked at Di Jun. Di Jun was equally puzzled. Just as they were unsure what to do, Xi He emerged and said, "Let me command this Lunar Star Flag!"
Di Jun looked at Xi He and said, "So be it!"
Fuxi then handed the Lunar Star Flag to Xi He!
Xi He took the Lunar Star Flag and immediately channeled her spiritual power into it. Immediately, a surge of Lunar Star power emanated from the Lunar Star Flag.
Seeing this, Di Jun also channeled his spiritual power into the Sun Star Flag. The Sun Star Flag similarly emitted the power of the Sun Star!
As the Sun Star Flag and the Lunar Star Flag released their respective powers, a surging, malevolent aura suddenly erupted from this grand formation.
The great powers of the Primordial World were all startled and gazed towards the Demon Court.
On Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian, sensing the immense malevolent aura, remarked, "This malevolent aura is no less than my Immortal Slaying Array! It also contains the power of the stars, so it must be a grand formation! I just don't know its name!"
Yuanshi also said, "This malevolent aura carries the scent of the exotic treasure, the Star Flag. Could it be Tai Yi's doing?"
Taishang shook his head and replied, "Tai Yi is not adept at formations. This must be Di Jun's work!"
