Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

Chapter 171 Another disturbance at Zixiao Palace, Hongjun's favoritism

chaos.

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun sat cross-legged on auspicious nine-colored clouds.

Atop his head rested a crystalline, primordial disc of creation, from which countless forces of the Great Dao descended.

The power of the Heavenly Dao permeated the air, causing his ancient and slender figure to manifest in different dimensions of time and space, traversing all realms and heavens, and going back to the past, present, and future.

"Shh-"

As his sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, Hongjun slowly opened his eyes.

His calm and ancient divine eyes pierced through all barriers of time and space, crossing countless dimensions, and landed on Kunlun Tianming Mountain.

Upon seeing the proudly standing figure of the Four-Faced Beast, his gaze narrowed slightly.

"I really didn't expect that—"

"This Primordial Qilin actually has such a Qilin offspring, who can even attract the Great Dao Trial while proving the Great Luo!"

As the first sage at the beginning of the primordial world—

Hongjun possessed his own pride. Even when the Six-Eared Macaque used his innate supernatural power to eavesdrop on the sermon before the first sermon, a disrespectful act, he only gave him a slight punishment.

Now, relying on his own foundation and hard work, Si Bu Xiang attracted the Great Dao's will to descend and test him when he was proving the Dao of Da Luo. He had no jealousy and did not want to cut off other people's path.

after all--

Si Bu Xiang is nothing more than a mere junior.

Even if he has great potential, can he surpass himself in this primordial world?
However, the will of Heaven made it impossible for him to resist—

Having learned his lesson from the previous Heavenly Thunder 'lesson', he now knows how to be a competent pawn.

Therefore, following the instructions of Heaven, he controlled the rules of Heaven and Earth, preventing the Four Unlikes from attaining the Great Luo Dao Fruit of perfect enlightenment.

He knew in his heart—

The Heavenly Dao was merely worried about another variable emerging, and did not want these four non-mutables to become an aid to the Primordial Chaos!
Upon seeing that the three flowers atop the Four-Unlikes Great Luo Dao Fruit had surpassed the ultimate perfection of the Heavenly Dao and reached the eleventh grade, Hongjun's gaze sharpened slightly, and then he looked towards the southern part of the prehistoric world.

Upon seeing that peerless, elegant, and aloof figure in dark blue, his originally calm and simple eyes revealed a chilling hatred.

If it weren't for that hateful Qinglian—

With his own Great Luo Dao Fruit having three flowers on top, how could he possibly stop at the tenth grade of Heavenly Dao Perfection?

"snort!--"

"Qinglian, I wish you were stronger. When you confront the Heavenly Dao, that will be the day you help me escape this predicament."

"Then I'll show you what regret really means!"

…………

Over time.

The third sermon at Zixiao Palace is about to begin.

Haotian and Yaochi opened the palace gates early, and countless Zixiao guests filed in instantly.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Greetings to the Queen Mother of the West!—"

Among the three thousand guests of the Purple Heaven, the most prominent is undoubtedly the Lord of the Celestial Court—Dong Wanggong!

He was favored by Heaven and became the rightful ruler of all the immortals, enjoying the immense fortune of the celestial court and receiving praise and admiration from many of the Purple Cloud Guests.

Among everyone's speculations—

After Dao Ancestor Hongjun preaches this time, Dongwanggong is the most likely to obtain the supreme treasure for achieving sainthood, Hongmeng Ziqi.

If he attains sainthood in the future, the Celestial Court will surely truly dominate the prehistoric world!
Therefore——

Many Zixiao guests greeted him warmly, hoping to establish a good relationship in advance so that they could ask for his help in the future if needed, as fellow Zixiao guests they could easily ask for his assistance.

"Brother!——"

"This Eastern King Duke is so arrogant, and the Celestial Court is expanding at an incredibly rapid pace. Why don't we wait until after this sermon and then kill him directly in the Chaos?"

Taiyi saw that the Eastern King Duke was surrounded by stars, looking like the ruler of heaven and earth.

So he directly sent a telepathic message to his elder brother, Di Jun, preparing to completely kill this 'enemy in the struggle for the Dao'.

He remembered it in his heart—

When the Wu Clan launched a massive attack on their Sun Palace, the Celestial Court mobilized its troops, intending to reap the benefits. Fortunately, they received help from Daoist Taichu, which saved them from annihilation.

"Second brother, the Celestial Court is currently enjoying great favor, so we must be cautious in our actions. We should wait until the Dao Ancestor finishes his sermon before deciding what to do with the Celestial Court based on his attitude!"

After receiving the inheritance of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen', Di Jun was not afraid of a mere Dong Wang Gong. What he truly revered was the Heavenly Dao Saint behind him—Hong Jun!
Previously, a Great Luo who "proved the Dao through force" in the Primordial Era intimidated eight Hunyuan (quasi-saint) powerhouses of the Wu and Yao clans with his own strength, let alone the supreme Heavenly Dao Saint.
If Hongjun firmly supports the Celestial Court—

The only way for the demon race to eliminate the Eastern King Duke, their "enemy in the struggle for the Dao," is to either set up the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation" capable of fighting against saints, or to attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao.
“Swish!——”

At this moment——

A black figure entered the Purple Cloud Palace and sat down directly on a purple futon in the first row.

It is none other than Kunpeng, the Lord of the Northern Sea!

"snort!--"

"How dare you arrive after the Three Pure Ones when the teacher is discussing such an important matter?"

Yuanshi always believed that his Three Pure Ones were the final guests of the Purple Heaven, but this Kunpeng dared to appear after his own Pangu lineage. Wasn't this a provocation against his Three Pure Ones?
"Yuanshi, aren't you meddling too much?"

"Does my arrival at Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao require your permission?" If it were before—

Kunpeng might choose to endure Yuanshi's insignificant provocations, because he is no match for the Three Pure Ones as a whole.

But with the last Lich War...

Taiyi and Fuxi clearly demonstrated their combat power by 'proving the Dao through the laws', making all the powerful beings deeply aware of the gap between a Primordial Golden Immortal and a Quasi-Saint.

How could Kunpeng, who insisted on inheriting the cultivation method to break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, possibly be afraid of the Three Pure Ones who changed their cultivation to "Slaying the Three Corpses"?

"Kunpeng, are you provoking the Three Pure Ones?"

Upon seeing that Kunpeng, who was usually so tolerant and submissive, not only dared to refute him but even called him by his name, Yuanshi's expression instantly darkened, and his powerful aura descended upon him.

What a joke!

“I have just arrived at Zixiao Palace, and you, Yuanshi, have been finding fault with me from all sides. First, you scolded me for not being qualified to make a grand entrance after you, the Three Pure Ones. Now, I have only made a few rebuttals, and you have taken it as a provocation against the Three Pure Ones.”

"Putting aside the fact that Zixiao Palace is a sacred place, why is it that no one is allowed to contradict you, Yuanshi? Do you, Yuanshi, represent the sages and the primordial Heavenly Dao, and can you arbitrarily accuse people of crimes?"

The conflict between Kunpeng and Yuanshi instantly attracted the attention of all the Zixiao guests.

Many of the Zixiao guests present knew the ins and outs of their conflict, so after hearing Kunpeng's words, they all looked at Yuanshi in the front row with disdain in their hearts.

During the first sermon—

When Jieyin and Zhunti were about to forcibly seize Kunpeng's purple futon, Yuanshi Tianzun not only failed to uphold justice, but also voiced his support and denounced Kunpeng as a beast with fur and horns, saying that he was not worthy to sit in the first row with the Three Pure Ones.

This made countless creatures born from moisture and eggs, covered in fur and horns, secretly hate him.

If it weren't for the arrival of the Sage Hongjun, Yuanshi would probably have been targeted by everyone, and even though he was the true successor of Pangu, he would still have had to pay the price.

now--

Kunpeng arrived at Zixiao Palace after the Three Pure Ones. The narrow-minded Yuanshi started finding fault again. The other party only refuted a few words, but Yuanshi accused him of provocation.

Isn't that a bit too domineering?

Everyone present could see it clearly—

It was clearly you, Yuanshi, who were narrow-minded and provoked first, so why are you blaming Kunpeng for it?
That's absolutely shameless!

At this moment——

Tongtian, standing to the side, felt rather helpless.

He felt the gazes of countless powerful figures behind him and felt as if he were being pricked by needles.

The innocent involvement of my second brother has not only damaged his reputation as a member of the Sanqing sect, but has also drawn hostility from many fellow practitioners. If this continues, he will likely be despised by countless people in the future.

"Kunpeng, you..."

"alright!--"

Before Yuanshi could speak again, Taiqing Laozi, who was standing to the side, reached out to stop him.

"Second brother, the teacher is about to give his sermon, so don't cause any more trouble!"

Seeing his elder brother's stern gaze, Yuanshi opened his mouth, but in the end could only shut up.

'Kunpeng, you just wait!'

He made a decision in his heart—

After the sermon is over, we'll teach this hairy beast a lesson and show him the consequences of associating with the beginning!
The reason why Yuanshi wanted to take advantage of the situation and vent his anger on Kunpeng was simply because he wanted to take out the anger he had suffered on Taichu on his friend Kunpeng.

Originally, it was thought that Kunpeng would continue to back down, but who would have thought that he would be so fierce, showing no trace of the pathetic appearance of running away with his tail between his legs after the second sermon.

"Wow—"

Just as everyone was discussing in hushed tones, a vast cloud of auspiciousness suddenly surged into the hall, and Hongjun's supreme purple figure sat cross-legged on the nine-colored auspicious cloud.

"Disciple greets Master!"

"Disciple greets Master!"

The three thousand Zixiao guests rose in unison and bowed solemnly to Hongjun.

"good--"

"This is the final lecture. As for how much of the 'Path to Sainthood' you can digest, that depends on your own destiny!"

Hongjun glanced at everyone, his gaze lingering briefly on Kunpeng, Taiyi, Fuxi, Xi Wangmu, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Styx, and others, before he began to expound on the Great Dao.

"The pure and clear Qi, the simple and unadorned primordial chaos."

"The origin of heaven and earth is the gathering or collapsing of Qi."

"........."

As Hongjun began to expound on the 'Path to Sainthood,' boundless primordial energy descended from the Creation Jade Disc above his head, and countless strands of Heavenly Dao rules enveloped him from near to far.

The three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti in the first row quickly entered a state of enlightenment, while Kunpeng frowned slightly, seemingly finding it difficult to understand.

The people in the second row, including Di Jun, Dong Wang Gong, and Tian Xuan Dao Ren, quickly grasped the true meaning of the teachings, while Tai Yi, Zhen Yuan Zi, Hong Yun, Ming He, and Xi Wang Mu listened as if to a celestial book.

'What happened?'

'Could it be because we didn't revise "Slaying the Three Corpses"?'

Taiyi quickly noticed the anomaly based on the comparison.

Realizing the reason, they immediately stopped insisting and instead silently closed their eyes, absorbing and comprehending the primordial energy and supreme power of the Heavenly Dao rules that descended from the Creation Jade Disc.
