Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 23 Dongwanggong: Bullshit Primordial Purple Qi, I will bury the heavens in one coffin!

Golden lotuses bloomed from Hongjun's mouth, and wondrous flowers fell from the sky. Fragrant aromas swirled in the hall, as if the Great Dao were right before one's eyes.

The melodious music filled the air, and the hall was filled with the sound of celestial maidens scattering flowers, golden lotuses swaying, and auspicious seven-colored clouds rising gently.

It seemed as if within the Dragon Palace, a phoenix spread its wings, and the laws of the Great Dao permeated the air.

Everyone in the hall was suddenly enlightened, their minds wandering in the vast emptiness.

The profound mysteries of the Great Dao encompass the changes of heaven and earth.

The souls of everyone present vanished into the void, experiencing the boundless mysteries of the Great Dao.

Those with deep roots have already begun to understand and have gained a lot.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others, who were sitting cross-legged on the futons, now had wisps of purple aura emanating from behind their heads, which was extremely mysterious.

Below the futon, prominent figures among the innate great powers, such as Kunpeng, Dijun, Donghuang, Hongyun, Zhenyuan, and Xuehai, also reaped considerable rewards and wore joyful expressions.

Besides these individuals, there was another being whose existence was filled with extraordinary phenomena and mysteries.

It is none other than the Eastern King Duke!

A glimmer of pure Yang energy shone brightly between the foreheads of the Eastern King, his body ignited with golden flames, and his eyes shone with astonishing light!

With his absolute luck and strength, he gained the most from this sermon!

His cultivation, which had just advanced to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, was not yet stable, but after this lecture, it became exceptionally solid, and he was able to do it with ease.

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the sermon is drawing to a close.

Hongjun paused, finally uttering the most important part of his sermon.

"Next, I will talk about the method of becoming a saint."

Hongjun swept his gaze across the assembled crowd, but lingered on the Eastern King Duke the longest.

All the powerful beings present held their breath.

No one dares to overlook even the slightest detail of the method to achieve sainthood.

Hongjun focused his mind and slowly began to speak.

"The so-called methods to achieve sainthood are divided into three types."

"I call them respectively: proving the Dao through force, proving the Dao by severing the three corpses, and proving the Dao through merit."

"To prove the Dao through force, only Pangu, who created the world, could do it. No one else could."

"The method of attaining enlightenment by severing the three corpses is precisely the one I use. It involves cutting away the good thoughts, evil thoughts, and obsessions within the body, and once the three corpses are united, one attains sainthood."

"To attain enlightenment through merit means to perform the highest level of merit for the primordial world, which will be recognized by the Heavenly Dao and one can achieve enlightenment."

"These are the three methods to achieve sainthood."

"However, besides this, there is another essential requirement for becoming a saint."

Hongjun stretched out his palm, and seven strands of primordial purple energy lay horizontally between his palms.

"This Primordial Purple Qi is an indispensable element for those who attain sainthood."

Seeing the meager seven strands of Primordial Purple Qi in Hongjun's hand, the crowd erupted in uproar.

"Teacher, there are over three thousand people here, and many of them are capable of attaining the Great Dao, so why are there only seven strands of Primordial Purple Qi?!"

Some people found it hard to accept, and said this.

Hongjun shook his head.

"Nine is the ultimate number; therefore, there should be eight sages under the Heavenly Way, and their restrictions must not be exceeded."

"Teacher, who can obtain the Primordial Purple Qi?" Di Jun asked hurriedly.

Hongjun waved his hand, and seven strands of primordial purple energy floated out from his hand.

First, it flew towards the six people kneeling on the six prayer cushions in front of Hongjun's throne.

The Three Pure Ones are originally one, naturally sharing the same breath and branches, and the three of them attain the Three Paths together.

Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti each received one.

From this point on, six out of the seven numbers have been removed.

Everyone stared intently at the destination of the last wisp of primordial purple energy.

Hongmeng floated slowly, then suddenly headed towards the direction of the Eastern King Duke.

Seeing this, some people were convinced and gave up hope.

The Three Pure Ones, however, were intently focused on the whereabouts of the Primordial Purple Qi, and a million times hoped that it would not fall into the hands of the Eastern King Duke.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the others stared wide-eyed, their hearts pounding.

Only the Eastern King remained calm, knowing that this Primordial Purple Qi would absolutely not be given to him.

After all, Hongjun is now hoping for his demise.

As expected, the Primordial Purple Qi suddenly accelerated and entered the space between the eyebrows of the Red Cloud Daoist, who was sitting cross-legged between the Eastern King Duke and Zhen Yuanzi!

Everyone who witnessed this was astonished.

As the number one person below the sage, how come this Primordial Purple Qi doesn't belong to the Eastern King Duke?!

The Three Pure Ones, having obtained three strands of Primordial Purple Qi, were particularly proud of themselves when they saw that the Eastern King Duke had failed to obtain the last strand of Primordial Purple Qi.

"Donghua, Donghua, no matter how strong your talent and how prosperous your fortune, you are not favored by Master Hongjun and will ultimately fail to achieve great things."

"Given time, when we attain sainthood, we will be beings you can only look up to."

Thinking of this, the Three Pure Ones were secretly delighted.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

They all looked at the Eastern King Duke with sarcastic expressions. The bitterness they had felt from being suppressed by him vanished instantly.

"Haha, I knew it. Donghua was just lucky. In the end, he will still be submerged in the torrent of the primordial world, missing out on the Primordial Purple Qi, which means he will never become a sage."

"If this continues, in time, our Demon Court will surely overtake and control the entire prehistoric world."

Looking at the eccentric and excited Di Jun Tai Yi, Dong Wang Gong impatiently picked at his ear.

"What's so hard to accept about a wisp of primordial purple energy?"

The Eastern King sneered to himself.

With the system at his side, his innate advantages far surpassed the help of a wisp of primordial purple energy.

Moreover, the so-called use of the Primordial Purple Qi to achieve the Dao may seem like a feasible shortcut to others, but Dong Wanggong knows that it is all just working for the Heavenly Dao.

Only those who are strong enough can be considered true powerhouses.

Moreover, he also possesses the Burial Coffin, which defies the Heavenly Dao and can annihilate heaven and earth. He still needs the guidance and approval of the Heavenly Dao.

At worst, he'll be buried alive in his coffin. What kind of bullshit Heavenly Dao is this? It's utterly noisy!

It goes without saying who is stronger and who is weaker!

However, he did not show any of this. Now that the sermon was over, everyone paid their respects to Hongjun and took their leave.

The Eastern King Duke walked out of the Purple Cloud Palace without expression.

Di Jun and Tai Yi followed closely behind, emerging from the Zixiao Palace.

They couldn't openly mock the Eastern King Duke while inside the Zixiao Palace, but now that they're outside, they no longer hold back.

"Your Excellency, could you perhaps be the Lord of Heaven, Emperor Donghua?"

Donghuang Taiyi walked over, his tone sarcastic and his face sneer.

"Where is your Primordial Purple Aura? Is it perhaps too powerful for you to care about?"

Di Jun also said.

Those who were originally planning to leave also stopped and lingered.

The Three Pure Ones and the others also looked on with smiles and great interest at the Eastern King.

Faced with the two men's provocation, Dong Wanggong laughed.

"You two, did you obtain this so-called Primordial Purple Qi?"

"If I remember correctly, those who obtained the Primordial Purple Qi didn't include the two of you, right?"

The Eastern King Duke embraced the Western Queen Mother beside him, his expression relaxed.

Di Jun was speechless, his expression turning from sunny to gloomy.

The Eastern King's smile widened, and he continued speaking.

"Since that's the case, and neither of us possesses the Primordial Purple Qi, what are you so smug about?"

"Furthermore, according to your statements, without the Primordial Purple Qi, will the long years of seeking the Dao in the future be wasted? Will they be squandered? Will they no longer seek the future of the Great Dao?"

"So, is this so-called 'attainment of the Dao' achieved by the Primordial Purple Qi, or by the two of them?"

"As the saying goes, 'Heaven never seals off all paths.' In my opinion, regardless of whether one possesses the means to attain enlightenment or not, one should still keep one's heart turned towards the righteous path and seek knowledge relentlessly."

"Fellow Daoists, don't you agree?!"

The Eastern King spoke with absolute certainty and unwavering conviction!
