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

Chapter 54: Hongjun, the Pretender

Hongjun shook his head directly at Dong Wanggong, "Master once said that there should be eight saints under my master's tutelage."

"That is to say, Master only has eight primordial purple qi. Now that all eight primordial purple qi have their owners, where can Master find more primordial purple qi for you?"

"What's more, the Tao you and Queen Mother of the West follow is different from others. A ray of primordial purple energy might allow you two to attain sainthood."

After he finished speaking, he sent Dong Wanggong away and then turned his gaze to Di Jun.

"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from the heavens. I will escape one of them to leave a glimmer of hope for the creatures of the prehistoric world."

"In other words, this final ray of primordial purple energy is the last chance for all living beings in the prehistoric world to achieve sainthood. Your master shouldn't have given it to you."

"So if you want to obtain this primordial purple energy, you have to give up something. Otherwise, you will owe this karma to all the creatures in the primordial world, which is something you cannot afford."

Compared to achieving enlightenment and becoming a saint, giving up anything was nothing to Di Jun. So he spoke to Hongjun without hesitation.

"As long as I have it, I am willing to hand it over. This will end this karma with the creatures of the prehistoric world."

Hongjun nodded, "Then take out the River Map and Luo Shu. After all, only the River Map and Luo Shu are on you, and you are qualified to be compared with the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

Di Jun had never thought that Hongjun would actually ask for his River Map and Luo Shu. But after thinking about it, he felt that it made perfect sense.

After all, Hongmeng Purple Qi is the foundation of the Great Dao. How can ordinary innate spiritual treasures be exchanged for it on an equal basis?

So he took out the Hetu Luoshu without hesitation, and completely wiped out his consciousness. Then he respectfully presented it to Hongjun.

Hongjun took the Hetu and Luoshu and looked at Fuxi, "Fuxi, this Hetu and Luoshu should have belonged to the Demon King to suppress the destiny of the demon race."

"You are destined to be the demon clan's Xi Emperor, so I will give you this River Map and Luo Shu. I hope you can use it to help the demon clan prosper."

After hearing this, Fuxi immediately asked Hongjun, "Senior Hongjun, are you saying that since I have obtained the River Map and Luo Shu, I will be involved in karma with the demon race?"

Hongjun nodded after hearing this. "That's right. After all, this River Map and Luo Shu originally belonged to the demon race and should belong to the Demon King. Now that you have this River Map and Luo Shu, you will naturally become a Demon King."

What Hongjun didn't expect was that Fuxi actually shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then it's better not to have this River Map and Luo Shu."

While speaking, Fuxi had already returned the River Map and Luo Shu in front of him to Hongjun.

Fuxi did this not to give up the Hetu and Luoshu, but to retreat in order to advance, making sure that Hongjun would not dare to take back the Hetu and Luoshu.

After all, Chen Xuan had already told Fuxi that he had reached a deal with Hongjun. He didn't need to be involved in any cause and effect.

Therefore, Fuxi was certain that Hongjun would eventually hand over the Hetu and Luoshu to him. Otherwise, the deal between Hongjun and his master would not be completed.

Hongjun never dreamed that Fuxi would reject him so bluntly. But as Fuxi had in mind, he had to give the Hetu and Luoshu to Fuxi.

Helpless, he could only sigh and say, "If that's the case, then leave it to you. As for how this karma will be resolved in the future, it's up to you."

While speaking, Hongjun presented the Hetu and Luoshu to Fuxi again. However, he did not ask Fuxi to become the Xihuang of the demon clan.

So Fuxi didn't hesitate, putting away the River Map and Luoshu. He also bowed to Hongjun Daozu, "Thank you, Senior Hongjun. As for how this karma should be resolved, I will ask Master." He then said goodbye to Hongjun. But before leaving, he didn't forget to put away his cushion.

This inevitably made Hongjun frown for a moment, but before he could speak, Sanqing and others also stood up to say goodbye and put away their cushions.

Don’t underestimate these six cushions. They are the Yin-Yang cushion, the Heavenly Secret cushion, the Water and Fire cushion, the Creation cushion, the Nirvana cushion, and the Paradise cushion.

Each cushion contains a principle of the Great Dao. Sitting on it and realizing the Dao brings one closer to the Great Dao.

So when he saw the three pure ones about to take the cushion away, Hongjun asked directly, "What are you doing?"

"Is this also what your master taught you? You come to visit me, and when you leave, you take my things with you?"

Hongjun was somewhat angry at this time. After all, he couldn't beat Chen Xuan, so it was okay for him to be bullied by Chen Xuan.

Now even Chen Xuan's apprentice had to eat and take things from him. How could Hongjun not be angry?

At this time, Tongtian said, "Senior Hongjun, the futon is for sitting on. Since we have been sitting on it for ten thousand years, how can we leave it to others?"

"If Senior Hongjun feels that he has been wronged, please go to my master someday. I will ask my master to pick out some good things for you."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of Zixiao Palace with a smile. Hongjun wanted to speak to stop him, but Chen Xuan's voice rang in his ears.

"They are just a few cushions. They have been sitting on them for ten thousand years and are already used to them. If fellow Daoist Hongjun is reluctant to part with them, I can give you some better ones someday."

Hongjun understood at this time that Chen Xuan had clearly asked his apprentice to rob him.

No matter what he said, he would give him a few better ones another day. No matter how stupid Hongjun was, he would not believe Chen Xuan's nonsense.

He had no choice but to pretend not to see it, and sent a stream of Hongmeng purple energy to Di Jun. Then he sent everyone away.

At this time, the two Buddhist monks from the West looked at each other, and then, at the same time, reached out their hands to the cushions under their buttocks.

But before they could pick up the cushions, Hongjun waved his hand at them with a gloomy face and directly sent the two Western Buddhists out of the Zixiao Palace.

At the same time, Hongjun couldn't help but curse in his heart, "You two also want to learn from them, but don't you consider whether you have the qualifications?"

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. So he said directly: "You also want to take the cushion away? Aren't you planning to come to Zixiao Palace in the future?"

This was an excuse. After all, the Three Pure Ones and the other six might not come to Zixiao Palace again. So, they took the cushions away.

But he was different from the Second Western Buddhist. He would come to Zixiao Palace again in the future. He couldn't bring his own cushion every time he came.

At that moment, he could only bow to Zixiao Palace with an embarrassed look on his face. Then, without looking back, he headed towards the prehistoric world.

Seeing this scene, the three pure ones burst into laughter. Even Di Jun, Tai Yi and others showed sarcastic smiles.

After laughing, Dong Wanggong turned his gaze towards the Three Pure Ones and bowed with a smile.
