Chapter 235 In the Purple Cloud Palace
"Brother, we..."
Taiyi looked at the four prayer mats that had already been occupied, then looked at Dijun with a hesitant expression.
"Alas, these six positions should have been reserved for the Sage's personal disciples. The Sage and the Ancestor of Qiankun are at odds; if we were to sit in them..."
Di Jun was also somewhat conflicted. They were the first to know Qiankun Ancestor and even had some friendship with him. After Qiankun Ancestor opened a Taoist temple at Buzhou Mountain to preach, they immediately went there and had always been loyal supporters of Qiankun Ancestor.
Unexpectedly, when the Ancestor of Qiankun was selecting his personal disciples before the Three Thousand Yuan Assembly, his brothers were not chosen.
However, they still felt grateful for their ancestor's kindness, since the great principles he passed down were all true and accurate.
But compared to the path of enlightenment...
Di Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Since the Ancestor is unwilling to accept us as his disciples, it is only right for us to become disciples of the Sage. At worst, we will not be enemies with the Ancestor in the future."
"it is good"
Taiyi had wanted to do this for a long time, and immediately agreed with Dijun's idea. They each took a spot.
"Those two guys"
Chang Xi and Xi He frowned slightly as they looked at the two golden crows sitting on the futons.
In terms of relationships, they are closer to the Ancestor Qiankun, after all, their own star lords were all taken away by the Ancestor Qiankun, and the Ancestor Qiankun has also taken good care of their Taiyin lineage.
Even though powerful figures have emerged in the primordial world, no one dares to disrespect the Taiyin lineage.
Seeing that Di Jun and the others dared to defy the wishes of the Qiankun Ancestor, he was naturally displeased.
Those who also disliked him included the direct disciples of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Houtu, as well as the eleven ancestral witches behind Houtu.
"Hey sis, should we teach these two a lesson?"
Dijiang's voice rang in Houtu's ears.
"Brother, the teacher has not yet made a decision; you must not interfere."
Houtu quickly stopped her, knowing full well that her brothers and sisters were all lawless and might actually dare to ambush Dijun and the others on their way.
"This is, after all, a sacred place. Let's just observe and not act rashly."
Lao Tzu's voice resounded in the ears of all his fellow disciples.
"Alright, I'll do whatever my senior brother says."
"That's Dipankara, isn't it? He fought with the River Styx for that position."
Just as the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were discussing matters, Zhen Yuanzi's voice suddenly rang in their minds.
"Lighting a lamp?"
Looking at the gaunt old man who exuded an ominous aura, the disciples of the Qiankun Ancestor frowned even more deeply.
This person is also a frequent visitor to Buzhou Mountain. Although he was not accepted as a personal disciple by his teacher, he still received a lot of guidance and his strength is no less than theirs.
"Let's wait until the sermon is over and ask the teacher."
Time passed slowly, and one powerful figure after another entered the arena.
After more than 10,000 yuan of development, the primordial world, which was almost wiped out by the Dragon-Han Calamity, has become prosperous again.
There are quite a few powerful individuals at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, and all of these Great Luo Golden Immortals have improved themselves, unlike those who achieved their status through merit during the Dragon-Han Calamity.
When the three thousandth listener appeared in Zixiao Palace, the gate slammed shut, and Hongjun appeared on the cloud bed. Auspicious clouds unfolded, and endless mysteries of the Great Dao flowed within them.
"I have met a sage."
The moment they saw him, all the powerful figures bowed respectfully.
"Yes, get up."
Hongjun's gentle voice rang in their minds, and an invisible yet terrifying force controlled their bodies, making them stand up without any resistance, and then sit on the prayer mats.
Ignoring the horrified looks on these powerful beings, Hongjun's gaze swept over them, lingering on the Three Pure Ones for a moment before finally settling on the six prayer mats closest to him.
"You are all destined to be my disciples; are you willing to become my personal disciples?"
"We are willing to pay our respects to our teacher."
Upon hearing this, the six powerful beings, including Dijun, Taiyi, Minghe, Kunpeng, Zhunti, and Jieyin, were overjoyed and immediately knelt down to perform the ritual of three kowtows and nine prostrations.
Damn it.
The Taoist Ran Deng, who had failed to secure a position in the competition with Styx, looked extremely grim.
He was also a primordial god and demon born of heaven and earth, and belonged to the top group of strong beings in the prehistoric world. Unexpectedly, the Ancestor of Qiankun did not take a liking to him when accepting disciples, and he could not compete with the Sage Hongjun when accepting disciples.
"Yes, listen carefully."
Hongjun nodded slightly, but was deeply disappointed.
None of these six guys actually had the qualifications to become his personal disciples.
But there was nothing they could do; the ones that were truly suitable had already been snapped up by the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth.
Then the sermon began...
Since Xu Qiankun began preaching in the prehistoric world, a wave of preaching has swept through the prehistoric world, so these powerful beings are no strangers to preaching.
However, the teachings of sages are different. Even if they only speak of the basic principles of the Great Way, every syllable contains the ultimate truth of the Great Way, captivating the practitioners.
Moreover, this place is the primordial chaos beyond the heavens, where endless energy was refined by Hongjun and poured into the Zixiao Palace.
Dozens of innate gods and demons, such as the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Two Golden Crows, Changxi, Xihe, etc., truly lack energy.
As energy continued to flow in, their strength rapidly increased, and soon they broke through one after another, mastering a complete Great Dao and achieving the peak realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Even those innate beings with slightly lower aptitude have made progress in their cultivation.
Every powerful individual who makes a breakthrough in cultivation will have an independent space formed around them, and even if they unleash their divine or demonic true form within it, they will not be affected in the slightest.
"Haha, great, I've broken through!"
Feeling the power of the true form of the god and demon, Tongtian's face showed an expression of great joy.
After consolidating his cultivation for a while, Tongtian suppressed all the power fluctuations on his body, and the space surrounding him quickly dissipated. He continued to listen to the sage's sermon.
The teachings of the sages, though fundamental, become increasingly difficult as one progresses. Initially, all great beings could understand them, but in the end, only a very few top experts could comprehend them.
In the end, even the innate gods and demons could keep up.
"This is far inferior to what the teacher taught. It seems that although the sage is a sage, his understanding of the Great Dao is not much better than the teacher's. Once the teacher breaks through, he will probably be able to easily suppress the Sage Hongjun."
Listening to what Hongjun said, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Houtu couldn't help but compare it with the Great Dao spoken by their own teachers. They found that the difference was not obvious, and their own teachers' teachings were even more profound and easy to understand.
Three thousand years passed quickly, and then a bell that shook the heavens and earth rang out, abruptly ending Hongjun's sermon.
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher."
"Many thanks to the sage for imparting the Way."
Regardless of how much they understood, all the powerful beings bowed to Hongjun in unison.
"Um"
Hongjun nodded slightly, sensing the wisps of fortune and merit flowing toward him. His gaze swept over the many powerful beings below, finally settling on the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother.
The two have completely mastered the Pure Yang Dao and the Pure Yin Dao, and are the appointed masters of the primordial world. This is ordained by the Heavenly Dao, and even Hongjun cannot interfere, unless... they perish.
"Dong Wang Gong!"
Hongjun shouted.
"saint"
Dong Wanggong immediately bowed.
Hongjun said calmly, "You shall be the head of all male immortals in the primordial world, and govern all male immortals in the primordial world."
"Huh? This..."
The Eastern King was stunned; he never expected Hongjun to say such a thing.
Before Dongwanggong could agree, Hongjun looked at Xiwangmu and said, "Xiwangmu, you shall be the head of all female immortals in the primordial world, and govern all female immortals in the primordial world."
Even the Queen Mother of the West dared not agree.
Seemingly sensing their concerns, Hongjun said calmly, "This is your mission, and even the Lord of the Heavenly Realm cannot interfere or stop it."
Upon hearing this, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother's expressions changed slightly. They had both heard of the cunning strategist from the Qiankun Ancestor, so when they heard Hongjun say this, their first thought was that he intended to use them to deal with their master.
"What? The Eastern King Duke is the head of all male immortals and rules over them, does that mean we have to listen to him too?"
Along with the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, four other figures also changed color: Di Jun, Tai Yi, Styx, and Kunpeng.
Di Jun and Tai Yi were ambitious, while Styx and Kunpeng were cruel and tyrannical.
If the position of the head of the male immortals were given to the Three Pure Ones, they wouldn't say anything. After all, the Three Pure Ones are extremely united and very powerful, so they have no choice but to accept it.
However, the Eastern Kings and their followers have been hiding in the Great Heavenly World for a long time to cultivate, and they are not well-known in the prehistoric world.
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of all four men.
"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now. The next sermon will be after the 10,000 Yuan Meeting."
Hongjun waved his hand, and all three thousand guests appeared outside Zixiao Palace.
"Everyone, let's leave together first."
Tongtian looked at the Eastern King Duke, the Western Queen Mother, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi and said.
"it is good"
Dongwanggong glanced at the powerful figures such as Kunpeng and Minghe not far away, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, the direct disciples of the Qiankun Ancestor, along with eleven Ancestral Witches and two Moon Gods, and the four direct disciples of the Heavenly Vault Realm Lord, a total of twenty-three peak Great Luo Golden Immortal experts, departed together.
This is already an extremely terrifying force in the primordial world.
"The Three Pure Ones are actually willing to travel with them."
As they watched them leave, Kunpeng, Dijun, Taiyi, and the others all looked extremely grim.
"I don't believe they'll stay together forever," Kunpeng sneered, a savage glint in his eyes. "We are the direct disciples of the Sage, why should we be suppressed by the Eastern King Duke?"
This is the real reason for Kunpeng's anger.
As a disciple personally taught by a sage, He believed that He should be the most honorable being below the sage, and even in name, He should not be overshadowed by other powerful figures.
"Let's follow them and see."
Styx said directly.
"it is good"
Di Jun and Tai Yi both nodded. They were indeed hesitant to oppose the Three Pure Ones, not only because they feared their strength, but also because they feared the Qiankun Ancestor behind them.
However, the Eastern King Duke and his followers didn't care much about it.
Although the Lord of the Heavenly Vault was also an ancient great power and had a close relationship with the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, he was not a saint after all.
Now that I am a direct disciple of a sage, with a sage backing me up, why would I be afraid of a quasi-sage?
