Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 44 These students are hard to lead
P.S.: I beg for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, collections, comments, and rewards. The support of fellow Taoists is my greatest motivation. I beg for support from fellow Taoists.

……

As soon as Dong Wanggong said this, the entire Zixiao Palace fell silent. Everyone's eyes turned to Dong Wanggong.

However, they did not think that Dong Wanggong was arrogant. Instead, they felt that Dong Wanggong was very self-aware.

Only Chen Xuan was secretly delighted, thinking that the chess piece of Dong Wanggong was finally going to play a role.

At this moment, Hongjun was extremely depressed. He thought, why is this not what I expected?

At this time, Di Jun had already spoken, "Master, since Dong Wanggong feels that he is not qualified to command the prehistoric male immortals."

"Then please, Master, hand this male immortal leader over to me. I will definitely take charge of the prehistoric male immortals on your behalf."

Hongjun did not answer Dijun, but began to think about how to solve the current situation.

After all, replacing Dong Wanggong at this moment would be equivalent to misjudging the person. It would be a slap in the face to himself.

Furthermore, since the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa had no intention of becoming his disciples, he had no choice but to make some arrangements.

So he simply said to the King of the East: "Since I have made you the leader of the male immortals, I will naturally accept you into my sect."

"Not only you, but also the Queen Mother of the West, are all registered disciples of this humble Taoist."

The Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother knelt on the ground at the same time, paying their respects to Hongjun as a master and disciple. This made Hongjun finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Dong Wanggong spoke again: "Master, since we are all disciples under your tutelage, there should be no distinction between close and distant."

"The two senior brothers from the West not only obtained many innate spiritual treasures, but also received the Hongmeng Purple Qi bestowed by Master."

"Since we are both Master's disciples, shouldn't Master also bestow the Primordial Purple Qi upon us, allowing us the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become a saint?"

He learned from Chen Xuan that the key to becoming a saint through the righteous path lies in the foundation of the Great Dao. Since he already knew that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was the foundation of the Great Dao, how could Dong Wanggong give up?

After all, if you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find it again. If you want to find Hongmeng Purple Qi again, I'm afraid you may not be able to find it even if you turn the entire prehistoric world upside down.

After all, Hongjun had just said that there were destined to be eight saints under his seat. This meant there were only eight primordial purple qi.

Having already given one to each of the two Western Buddhists, there were only six remaining. Hongjun's attitude suggested that he wanted to accept the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa as his disciples.

As long as the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa agreed, the four primordial purple qi would disappear again. In the end, only two primordial purple qi would remain.

If I don't hurry up now and use the excuse of managing the Honghuang male immortal to get this Hongmeng purple energy, I will never have another chance in the future.

When they heard Dong Wanggong directly asking Hongjun for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Dijun and Taiyi couldn't help but wake up from their dream.

Their thoughts were the same as Dong Wang Gong's, and they were even more anxious than Dong Wang Gong. After all, they didn't even have the status of the leader of the male and female immortals.

At that time, they knelt on the ground, hoping that Hongjun could bestow the Hongmeng Purple Qi to give them the opportunity to prove their truth and become saints.

Hearing that Dong Wanggong and Di Jun also wanted the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Hongjun couldn't help but sneer inwardly. After all, he had no intention of letting these cannon fodder achieve enlightenment and become saints. He then spoke directly, "Hongmeng Purple Qi is the foundation of the Great Dao. Only my direct disciples can obtain it."

Such a blunt refusal completely left Dong Wanggong speechless. However, he was unwilling to give up and was ready to settle for the next best option.

He immediately said, "Since the Hongmeng Purple Qi can only be bestowed upon direct disciples, I wonder if Master could bestow upon me three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin."

"After all, if there are no three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin to support the three corpses. And I don't have the Hongmeng purple energy in my hand, how can the three corpses be united into one?"

As soon as Dong Wanggong said this, Hongjun's face changed instantly. After all, he clearly remembered that he had never mentioned the key to the unification of the three corpses.

Even Hongjun had no intention of passing on the true method of beheading the three corpses to them, so naturally he would not reveal the key.

But now, Dong Wanggong had revealed the key point in one sentence. This inevitably made Hongjun look at Dong Wanggong with a murderous look.

But now that Dong Wanggong has spoken out, if he denies it, his lies will be exposed in the future when the cultivator is unable to unite the three corpses into one.

This cause and effect was something Hongjun could not bear. It would cause him to lose his boundless luck and even shake his position in the prehistoric world.

After all, the way of beheading the three corpses he passed down was the orthodox way of cultivation in the prehistoric world. Anyone who practiced the way of beheading the three corpses would contribute a portion of Hongjun's luck.

However, once the prehistoric cultivators knew that Hongjun had concealed the key, not only would he not be able to obtain this luck, but he would also suffer backlash.

But if he admitted it, how many people in this prehistoric world could walk the path of beheading the three corpses? Even Hongjun himself was not sure.

At that time, he was thinking of using Hongmeng Purple Qi to control the number of saints, but he really couldn't do it.

It can be said that for Hongjun now, no matter how he answers this question, it will be harmful rather than beneficial to him.

As luck would have it, Tongtian actually spoke at this moment, "I remember that in the path to becoming a quasi-saint that the senior just talked about, it didn't seem to mention the need to use an innate spiritual treasure of the same origin to support the incarnation of the Three Corpses."

"I wonder if Senior forgot about it when he was preaching. Or is it that Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong is just speaking nonsense and misleading the Daoists present?"

Tongtian had already asked this question, and Hongjun had no choice but to answer it. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only nod and speak.

"It seems that my choice of Dong Wang Gong as the leader of the prehistoric male immortals was indeed a wise move. After all, he was the only one present who understood the key to the method of beheading the three corpses."

"Originally, I was planning to mention this matter when I was discussing the Way of the Sage. Since the Duke of Dong has already asked about it, I will tell you in advance."

"Yes, the innate spiritual treasures from the same lineage can indeed help the three corpses merge into one. But it is not absolute. After all, everything depends on chance."

Although Hongjun did not give a direct answer, it was equivalent to agreeing with what Dong Wanggong said.

After all, compared to deceiving the prehistoric cultivators and being tainted by boundless karma, it is still beneficial for Hongjun to allow more people to achieve enlightenment and become saints.

After all, as long as you practice the way of beheading the three corpses, Hongjun will be able to obtain a portion of your luck. And the higher you reach, the greater the luck Hongjun will obtain.

If it weren't for his own better control over the prehistoric world, Hongjun wouldn't have limited the number of saints. In fact, the more saints there were, the greater the benefits would be for Hongjun.
