59: Chapter 54 Reunion 59: Chapter 54 Reunion When the Taiyang Fire spread to East King’s Primordial Spirit, East King still did not feel any scorching heat.
East King was very surprised in his heart: Could it be that Di Jun’s control over the Taiyang Fire had reached this extent?
In fact, to achieve this effect, Di Jun’s control over the Taiyang Fire was only part of the reason; another part was that Di Jun had integrated the Power of Taiyin into it.
After a long time, Di Jun can now freely control the Power of Taiyin.
A scream echoed from inside East King’s body, filled with hatred in the voice.
Di Jun did not care about this, he had already secretly calculated with the River Map and Luo Book that Daoist Li Huo had truly fallen this time.
East King’s complexion turned ugly in an instant, although he had some guesses, when he actually found out, he still felt uncomfortable.
Di Jun did not care about this and under his control, the Taiyang Fire quickly dispersed.
A bright red glow surged from East King’s body, still wrapped in the Taiyang Fire.
Feeling that bright red glow, East King sensed the presence of Daoist Li Huo.
Not only that, East King felt that his own cultivation had actually declined.
“Daoist East King, this Residual Soul of Daoist Li Huo is connected to your Divine Soul, and a portion of your cultivation achievements has been devoured by him.”
East King’s face looked even uglier.
Di Jun looked at East King’s ugly expression, feeling somewhat speechless in his heart.
If East King had been a Daluo Golden Immortal at that time, dealing with the Residual Soul of Li Huo wouldn’t have been as easy as it was for him, but it wouldn’t have been particularly difficult either.
If East King had tried to devour the Residual Soul of this Daluo Golden Immortal when he broke through his realm, such a situation would not have occurred.
The reason for this result was that East King rashly tried to devour a Daluo Golden Immortal as a mere Golden Immortal.
Unable to digest, it could only become a part of the Primordial Spirit, and might even backfire on East King.
However, at this moment, East King noticed that he seemed to have lost some restrictions and felt more at ease.
Though his cultivation had declined, it had also become more solid.
Thinking of this, East King felt it was not unacceptable, and his expression eased slightly.
“This time, thank you, Daoist Di Jun.”
East King said sincerely.
“You’re too polite, my friend.
You also paid a price.”
Di Jun said with a smile.
Hearing Di Jun’s words, East King felt that he might have difficulty achieving his original goal.
However, he thought about the conditions he had prepared and couldn’t help feeling confident.
Then East King and Di Jun truly reminisced, discussing the old times.
Di Jun was happy to do this, giving control of the topic to East King, going along with East King’s words.
He had cultivated for countless years, seldom having free time.
Now being able to reminisce with East King was a kind of pleasant leisure.
East King and Di Jun talked about their first encounter, sharing the feeling of nearly becoming enemies at the time.
The two talked about the years following Wang Shu, and both revealed their nostalgia for Wang Shu.
Unfortunately, Wang Shu had fallen just like those early Primordial Golden Immortals had indeed.
Afterward, East King kept praising Di Jun, admiring his talent at the time, as he was quick to learn anything.
And Di Jun also praised East King from other aspects, such as East King’s exceptional support.
The conversation between the two carried a sense of mutual flattery often found in business dealings.
However, both were engrossed in it, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.
Di Jun didn’t take the words of East King seriously, it was just a way to relax and there was no need to delve too deeply.
As for whether East King had taken it seriously, Di Jun didn’t know.
Then, East King couldn’t help but recount the brilliant deeds of Di Jun during the clash between Dao and Demon.
“Daoist Di Jun, the legends about you have been circulated among the Golden Immortals for quite some time.”
“Among the Golden Immortals, you had no equal, fighting to a draw with Wu Tian, the disciple of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.”
“Being able to escape from the hands of Wu Tian, who had already become a Daluo Golden Immortal.”
While East King was recounting these events, his expression was filled with both envy and admiration.
He truly envied Di Jun’s abilities, thinking that if he had them back then, he wouldn’t be in the Sun Star now.
From the moment Di Jun helped him erase the traces left by Daoist Li Huo, he felt the unfathomable depth of Di Jun’s cultivation.
Di Jun listened to East King’s words, smiled, and said nothing.
To be honest, from Di Jun’s current perspective, everything he did as a Golden Immortal was in the past.
Higher-level matters were unknown to East King.
For instance, during the final battle of the Dao and Demon clash, Di Jun nearly burned Wu Tian alive with the Taiyang Fire.
Had it not been for the oath of the Demon Ancestor, all demonic cultivators turned into Outer Heaven Demons, Wu Tian would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
Even after Wu Tian became an Outer Heaven Demon, didn’t Di Jun still retain part of his Origin?
Compared to these, the deeds done as a Golden Immortal hardly mattered.
Di Jun then also praised East King, reminiscent of former colleagues flattering each other at work.
“Daoist Di Jun, it’s just that the two of us only caught the tail end of the Dao and Demon conflict, not having lived through many years.”
“If we had existed in the same era as Hong Jun, perhaps you and I would also be the ancestors of Daoism,” said East King.
Di Jun didn’t quite agree with East King’s statement in his heart.
Although confident, Di Jun truly didn’t think he could reach the level of Hong Jun.
But since they were reminiscing, Di Jun naturally wouldn’t voice such a dispiriting remark, instead he said: “What East King says is very true.”
East King, emboldened by Di Jun’s affirmation, immediately said: “Daoist Di Jun, the conflict between Dao and Demon has passed, but now is a great era for the Primordial World.”
“With your ability combined with my forces, we can surely recreate the former glory of Daoism.”
East King finally revealed his true intention.
Hearing this, Di Jun instantly understood the true purpose behind East King’s visit to the Sun Star.
The reminiscence he had assumed was just a heart-to-heart connection East King sought to establish with him.
This was somewhat awkward.
Di Jun was enjoying some rare leisure time, chatting with East King and reminiscing about the past.
Meanwhile, East King was sharing his heartfelt thoughts, seemingly poised to unfold grand ambitions together with Di Jun.
The goals of their conversation were different, yet they seemed to enjoy the engagement.
Di Jun couldn’t help but think: Did East King take everything I said seriously?
If he were to speak the truth, Di Jun felt that it would be best for East King to focus on his cultivation, as ambition wasn’t quite suited for him since he lacked the ability.
But after having enjoyed a pleasant conversation, Di Jun hadn’t yet figured out how to politely decline East King’s proposal.
