I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

Hongjun merged with the Dao and was imprisoned for billions of years!

Hongjun knew, and all the sages knew, that Hongjun was no longer Hongjun!

But what about the Four Saints?

Pretend you don't know!

To flow with the way of Heaven, to blend in with the world.

What a bunch of damned bastards!

If it weren't for Tongtian's disciple and his son-in-law, Hongjun might have been completely devoured by the Heavenly Dao long ago.

The Master of Heaven laughed, "Master Hongjun is back!"

The Dao Ancestor is the Dao Ancestor, and the Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Dao!

When Tongtian Jiaozhu referred to his teacher, he was referring to Hongjun, whom he had known well and who had treated him well in the past!

Li Yu narrowed his eyes, gazing at Hongjun amidst the clouds and sea of ​​the heavens. "Or to be more precise, Dao Ancestor Hongjun has briefly returned!"

The Grand Master of Heaven was taken aback. "There's still a variable?"

"The Heaven-Opening Axe's strike severely damaged the Heavenly Dao, but it was far from killing it."

"As long as they remain conscious, a counterattack is only a matter of time."

Obviously!

Hongjun was well aware of this!

Of the forty-nine Heavenly Dao shackles, he had only managed to break a few. Taking advantage of the severe damage to the Heavenly Dao consciousness, he briefly regained control!

Next, to completely break free from these constraints, everything will depend on Tongtian's disciple and Xuanmen's virtuous son-in-law, Li Yu!

Therefore! Hongjun immediately showed goodwill and made his stance clear!

The nature of the Investiture of the Gods calamity has begun to be defined!

"The four saints—Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, and Zhunti—are ignorant of the will of Heaven and disrespectful of the greater power. They only cultivate magical power and not virtue; they are guilty and deserve punishment!"

Hongjun's Daoist voice fell.

The billions of living beings and powerful beings of the primordial world were shocked: "Something terrible has happened to the kidneys?"

Jieyin and Zhunti looked worried and distressed. "What? In the end, will our Western Paradise become a wicked place that doesn't understand destiny and doesn't cultivate virtue?"

Yuanshi Tianzun was even more distressed. He had said these words his whole life, and now, in the end, he was using them on himself.

And it was said by the Dao Ancestor himself... It's even more painful than killing the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Looking again at Taiqing Laozi, his expression slightly somber, "Master has returned at an inopportune time."

Taiqing Laozi knew this well, so he did not argue with Hongjun, but waited for the Heavenly Dao to retaliate!

Did Taiqing Laozi not know that Hongjun Daozu had already been invaded by the Heavenly Dao?

know!

so what?

Taiqing Laozi knew this from the beginning, but pretending not to know was more in line with the interests of the Taiqing Renjiao!

Taiqing Laozi needs the Heavenly Dao to swallow up the Human Dao, while the Human Cult, under the Heavenly Dao, will regain control of the human race!

Hongjun had already sensed that the shackles of Heaven were slowly tightening, so he quickened his pace and said, "Taiqing's virtue is lacking; he is truly unworthy to be the head of the Three Pure Ones, let alone the head of the Six Sages!"

"The old Taoist priest announces that, from this moment forward, Shangqing Tongtian will be the head of the Six Sages of the Xuanmen."

"Without Hongjun's intervention, Shangqing Tongtian will become the leader of the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect!"

"Who's in favor, and who's opposed?"

Zhunti timidly raised his hand, "I have something to say..."

Buzz! The Jade Disc of Creation flashed with green light, and Zhunti perished on the spot.

Zhunti was resurrected, tears streaming down his face, "It's so bitter! It's just too bitter!"

"Zhunti, do you have anything else to say?"

"The Dao Ancestor is wise! I agree that the Dao Ancestor's insights are profound!"

Hongjun continued, "Minghe and Zhenyuanzi have already attained sainthood and are now my direct disciples, ranking as the seventh and eighth saints of the Xuanmen!"

If Hongjun could say this during the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, Styx and Zhenyuanzi would be extremely excited and delighted.

But right now? Absolutely no interest.

"We swear to follow the First Emperor to the death, our resolve will never waver!"

Styx and Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Li Yu, seeking his opinion.

Li Yu didn't care. The reputation of being a direct descendant of the Xuanmen sect was acceptable, so he nodded knowingly.

Styx and Zhen Yuanzi then greeted him, saying, "We have come to pay our respects to Master Hongjun."

If they are not direct descendants, they are usually called Dao Ancestors, but they are not qualified to be called teachers.

Tongtian Jiaozhu became the chief of all the saints of Xuanmen, and Minghe and Zhenyuanzi became the direct disciples of the saints of Xuanmen!

Hongjun knew even more clearly that the core of everything was Li Yu, the virtuous son-in-law of the Xuanmen!

Hongjun looked at Li Yu and immediately proclaimed to the prehistoric world: "Li Yu, the virtuous son-in-law of Shangqing Tongtian, is also the virtuous son-in-law of Xuanmen. The First Emperor of the Human Race shall be the protector of Xuanmen."

"The rank and order of the Xuanmen (Mysterious Gate) should be the same as that of the Chief of the Shangqing Tongtian (Upper Purity Heavenly Gate)!"

After all, Li Yu was a junior and the son-in-law of the Tongtian Sect Master; otherwise, Hongjun would have made Li Yu the head of the Xuanmen sect long ago.

This is all to save face for Tongtian's disciple.

Hongjun preached the Dao in the primordial world, and all the myriad spirits and cultivators in the primordial world can be said to belong to the Xuanmen (mysterious sect).

The difference lies in the degree of intimacy.

This is how the disciples of the Xuanmen sect with impeccable lineage come about!

Li Yu didn't care about empty fame, so he knew that Hongjun's actions were to "reward those who have made contributions" early, so that he and others would work harder to defeat the Heavenly Dao and rescue Hongjun!

Destroying the Heavenly Dao has always been the goal of the human race.

As for rescuing Hongjun? Subjectively, it's not possible, but objectively, it might be.

What is this?

Hongjun was lucky!

After Hongjun finished rewarding those who had contributed early, he continued, "The Investiture of the Gods is... is..."

Hongjun originally wanted to say that the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods was already decided: Xiqi was destroyed, Yin Shang rose, the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was over, and the Investiture of the Gods would be carried out immediately.

However, before Hongjun could finish speaking, his expression faltered, replaced by exasperation and rage. He coldly declared, "The outcome of the Investiture of the Gods is undecided! The fate of the world is undecided!"

Li Yu, dressed in a black Taoist robe, chuckled, "You say it's undecided, so it's undecided? Did you consult the Grand Protector of the Xuanmen sect?"

"What are you babbling about? Take three more of my axe blows!"

"Attack the city!"

The light of the Heaven-Opening Axe struck towards the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun!

Meanwhile, Styx and Kong Xuan once again transformed into senior students from the first cohort of the Pangu Class.

"Emperor Qin Shi Huang orders! Attack the city! Attack the city!"

"Break through Xiqi City! Capture Ji Chang and Ji Fa alive! Capture Jiang Ziya alive!"

then!

The generals of the Shang Dynasty, as if possessed, ordered an attack on the city!

Because everyone knows that this is the final battle!

This is the last chance to slay generals, seize flags, be ennobled, and gain military merit!

"Hey, aren't you from the eighth class of the Infantry Training Corps? How come you're faster than my cavalry?"

"We can charge even without horses! We've been poor for generations, never producing a great figure! This battle is our chance to defy fate!"

"So what if you have a horse? So what if you don't? Slay the generals and seize the flag today!"

The Shang dynasty launched its final offensive, encircling the city from all sides! There was no feint; it was all a full-scale attack!

With the Heavenly Dao Hongjun damaged, how could he dare to directly withstand the three axes that created the heavens?

With a swift movement, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun took Ji Chang and Ji Fa away from the void, and then immediately vanished into the void, escaping back to Zixiao Palace!

Although Xiqi City has been destroyed!

But Ji Chang and Ji Fa are still alive! This allows them to form an exiled human race (an alien race) and continue to forcefully declare: the Investiture of the Gods is not yet decided! The fate of the world is not yet settled!

Once the power of Heaven's Dao returns to its peak, I will lead Ji Fa back to Xiqi and annihilate the Jie Sect and the human race!

The Heavenly Dao, Hongjun, has fled.

The Heaven-Opening Axe changed direction and cleaved towards the Four Saints.

The four saints were startled and chose to flee immediately.

Zhunti: "Wait for me!"

"Whoever runs the slowest gets to be in the front row!"

……

Peace has returned to the area outside Xiqi City!

The primordial world was silent.

"Is...is this the end?"

"Holy crap! I don't understand this at all, who won?"

"Did something terrible happen to your kidneys? The Great Tribulation of the Gods is over? Why hasn't the calamity dissipated yet?"

"It's not over yet! Didn't you see that Heavenly Dao Hongjun took away the core of Xiqi?"

"What? It's not over yet?"

Li Yu, dressed in a black Daoist robe, his expression calm, declared, "From this moment forward, the united front against Heaven and the Dao is established!"

"One hundred days later! We will wage war against Heaven and destroy the Dao!"
