Primordial Era: Me, starting with the Primordial Enlightenment Tree

They completely ignored Yuanshi Tianzun and Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Hmph, I'll settle this score with you properly after this sermon!"

Kunpeng roared angrily in his heart, then simply stopped thinking about it and closed his eyes.

Kunpeng originally intended to resolve all grievances after Hongjun finished his sermon, but how could Jieyin and Zhunti possibly let him have his way?

Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance.

next moment……

Under the watchful eyes of all living beings in the hall, Zhunti walked straight toward Kunpeng, and then exerted his strength, sending Kunpeng flying backward.

Caught off guard, Kunpeng was forcefully knocked away by Zhunti.

At this moment, all the creatures in the hall stared wide-eyed at this scene, their faces filled with disbelief.

This Zhunti... isn't he being far too shameless?

How could there be such a shameless person in the primordial world!

In an instant, discussions arose throughout the hall.

Kunpeng, who had just been knocked away, was instantly enraged and roared, "Hmph, Zhunti, you're courting death! Do you really think I'm a pushover?"

Upon seeing this scene, Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were not far away, were immediately intrigued. Di Jun then slowly walked over to them.

"Jieyin and Zhunti, you two are truly shameless to the extreme!"

Di Jun spoke in a cold voice, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Zhunti, I advise you to obediently get off this futon, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Kunpeng roared angrily!

However, despite the threat from Kunpeng, Zhunti showed no intention of getting up.

That's a joke. He worked so hard to get this position, how could he possibly give it up so easily?

"Zhunti, are you going to get up or not?"

Kunpeng angrily questioned.

But Zhunti completely ignored him.

"court death!"

Seeing that Zhunti was completely ignoring him, Kunpeng finally lost his temper and attacked fiercely, slapping down on Zhunti with a claw.

"Hiss~"

Faced with Kunpeng's attack, Zhunti subtly moved his divine sense, and a Seven Treasures Tree instantly appeared out of thin air, shimmering with dazzling seven-colored light, steadily blocking Kunpeng's sharp claws.

"Hmph, Jieyin and Zhunti, since you can compete for this position, then naturally we can too!"

Taiyi and Dijun exchanged a glance and said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Taiyi summoned the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, and then smashed it down hard on Zhunti.

In an instant, the entire Zixiao Palace was plunged into chaos once again.

When Zhunti saw the Chaos Bell fall down on him, he was utterly horrified.

Faced with the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, his Seven Treasures Tree was simply no match for it.

Just as Zhunti was filled with terror, and the Chaos Bell was about to crash down...

Suddenly, an invisible force surged forth, instantly enveloping the entire Zixiao Palace.

At this moment, the magical power of all living beings within the Zixiao Palace was completely sealed off, rendering them utterly powerless.

The Chaos Bell in Taiyi's hand fell lightly, no longer possessing any of the terrifying power of a primordial treasure.

In an instant, everyone realized that the Sage had made his move!

next moment.

Haotian and Yaochi, who emerged from the depths of Zixiao Palace, saw the chaotic scene in the main hall and immediately shouted, "This is the sacred site of a sage. You will all stop immediately. If you continue to cause trouble, please leave Zixiao Palace."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi could only reluctantly retract the Chaos Bell. Seeing that the Sage had already made his move!

Kunpeng could only stop, his face full of resentment, and sullenly sat down on a futon behind him.

Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a smile.

They succeeded.

Looking at the smug expressions on Jieyin and Zhunti's faces, Kunpeng wished he could rush up and tear them to pieces.

Unfortunately, this is a sacred place, not the primordial wilderness.

next moment.

Haotian and Yaochi shouted loudly, "The Sage has arrived!!"

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, nine heavenly sounds resounded, as if a great bell of heaven and earth had been struck, shaking the entire universe.

"Ha, Hongjun has finally decided to come out. He's arrived just in time!"

Seeing this scene, Tianci couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Why did he have to appear at the exact moment when Jieyin and Zhunti had just grabbed the futon and were about to be driven away by Taiyi and Dijun? If Hongjun wasn't secretly manipulating things behind the scenes, that would be an extremely strange thing.

However, Tianci was too lazy to bother with these trivial matters, as long as they didn't get involved!

in the hall.

Just as the beings of Zixiao Palace were so shocked by this heavenly sound that they were unsettled and their primordial spirits were shaken.

All living beings turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, all sorts of strange phenomena appeared in the sky. A huge auspicious cloud slowly emerged, its five-colored rays illuminating the heavens, and the eight-tone celestial music resounded throughout the universe.

Above the auspicious clouds, countless golden lanterns, golden lotuses, necklaces, and dangling beads appeared one after another, falling from the clouds like water dripping from the eaves, endlessly and continuously.

"Is this the auspicious cloud of heavens formed from the righteous energy within the heart of the Great God Pangu?"

Looking at the enormous auspicious cloud that had appeared in the main hall, Tianci couldn't help but ponder to himself.

Just as Tianci was pondering, suddenly, the auspicious cloud changed and transformed into a cloud bed.

A moment later.

On the cloud bed sat a white-browed Taoist with an air of otherworldly grace. He sat quietly on the cloud bed with his eyes closed, his expression neither sad nor happy, like an unchanging rock.

"Is this the Hongjun of today... He is indeed terrifyingly powerful!"

Tianci glanced at Hongjun on the cloud bed.

The current Hongjun is worlds apart from the one during the Dragon-Han Calamity; they are simply incomparable.

With just one glance, Tianci sensed Hongjun's unfathomable and terrifying strength.

"Those who stand before sages are all ants!"

At that moment, he truly understood the meaning of those words.

Before an immortal saint, as long as you haven't reached that level, even if you're infinitely close, you're still just an ant with no chance of resistance.

The gap between them is no longer something that can be bridged by background or magical treasures.

As Hongjun's figure appeared.

In an instant, all living beings turned their gazes to Hongjun, who was sitting on the cloud bed. They felt that Hongjun's cultivation was unfathomable, and his aura was like a chaotic deep sea. The aura emanating from him was like an endless world pressing down on them at the same time, making them unable to move.

At that moment, all the living beings in the hall were shocked to learn of Hongjun's identity.

Sage Hongjun!

In an instant, all living beings rose from their prayer cushions and bowed slightly to Hongjun, saying, "Greetings, Sage Hongjun!"

Hongjun, sitting upright on the cloud bed, slowly opened his eyes after hearing the voices of the beings in the hall. His gaze swept over the mortals below the hall, and then he nodded in satisfaction.

All the living beings in the hall looked up at Hongjun, only to find that they could only see a blurry phantom, as if Hongjun did not exist in this space-time.

What impressed them most was Hongjun's eyes. His eyes seemed to hold the rising and falling of the sun and moon, the heavens and the earth, the primordial universe, and the three thousand worlds in constant rotation, majestic and inviolable.

Those eyes sent shivers down their spines, making their very souls tremble.

The next second, all living beings lowered their heads, no longer daring to meet Hongjun's gaze.

But in Hongjun's eyes, Tianci saw a completely different scene: the Three Thousand Great Daos, endless laws, and the mysteries of the heavens flowing within them.

This is because of the difference in cultivation level; naturally, what one sees will also be different.

Hongjun glanced at Tianci, then said calmly, "I attained the Dao of Hunyuan three thousand years ago, and my voice resounded throughout the primordial universe, where all living beings could hear it."

The fact that you have come to Zixiao Palace today is your destiny, and you are destined to be with me.

In the beginning of time, when heaven and earth were first created and the primordial world was formed, I obtained the Jade Disc of Creation and attained the Dao of Hunyuan. Having achieved success in my cultivation, I should give back to the primordial world and shoulder the responsibility of educating all living beings.

As the saying goes, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.

I shall preach three times....

All living beings in the Purple Cloud Palace bowed and paid their respects once more: "Great virtue, Sage Hongjun." On the cloud bed.

Hongjun nodded slightly to the beings in the main hall of Zixiao Palace, then his gaze swept over them all before he spoke again: "From now on, your positions will be as they are today!"

Hongjun's tone seemed amiable, but it was actually full of unquestionable authority.

"Yes! Sage Hongjun!"

Seeing this, the creatures in the hall could only nod in agreement.

Anyway, this doesn't have much of an impact on them.

However, for Kunpeng and Dijun and Taiyi, the impact was enormous.

Or rather, it was a heart full of regret.

They could have had that position, and they had the opportunity to snatch it!

But now...

At this moment, Kunpeng, Dijun, and Taiyi were all filled with indescribable resentment.

Kunpeng, in particular, was utterly despondent at this moment.

He had originally planned to find another opportunity to take back his position.

But now that Hongjun has spoken personally, he has no choice but to completely abandon this idea.

As he was currently only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he absolutely dared not disobey the words of the sage in the slightest.

Thinking of this, Kunpeng couldn't help but glare fiercely at Jieyin and Zhunti.

Immediately afterwards, Hongjun's majestic gaze fell upon Tianci, and he slowly spoke:

"You are the Tree of Enlightenment, possessing primordial destiny and wielding the Dao of Chaos. You may sit beside me..."

Before the words were finished, a purple futon suddenly appeared out of thin air beneath the cloud bed.

Above the futon, wisps of celestial light emanated, as if shrouded in a hazy chaos.

At first glance, it's clear that this is no ordinary object.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Tianci.

His face was filled with undisguised envy.

Even the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were no exception.

To receive such favor from a sage is an incredible stroke of luck!

"My good disciple, hurry up and go..."

"My nephew, Tianci..."

"A younger brother given by heaven..."

The Tongtian Sect Leader, Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Nuwa, and others all whispered to Tianci, urging him to quickly sit on the futon that Hongjun had just bestowed upon him.

Just when everyone thought that Tianci would gladly go.

"I don't want to!"

Tianci's tender voice rang out clearly in the main hall.

As he finished speaking...

The Master of Heaven: "..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable: "..."

Taiqing Laozi: "..."

Nuwa: "..."

Houtu: "..."

Xihe and Changxi: "..."

Everyone in the main hall: "..."

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

It was as if I had misheard.

What?

What did he say?

He actually refused the Sage Hongjun?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He... he actually doesn't want it?

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

His face was filled with disbelief.

I don't understand why Tianci would do this.

This was an opportunity they could only dream of, but now...

"My dear disciple, what nonsense are you spouting!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader had a look of utter disappointment on his face.

"Yes, my dear disciple Tianci, stop fooling around and listen to me..."

Seeing this, Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and others quickly spoke up to persuade Tianci.

"No futon is as comfortable as Sister Nuwa's!"

Tianci looked up, glanced at Tongtian Jiaozhu, his cheap master, and Houtu and the others, and said with a look of disgust.

He had no desire to have any connection with Hongjun.

The Master of Heaven: "..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable: "..."

Taiqing Laozi: "..."

Nuwa: "..."

Houtu: "..."

Xihe and Changxi: "..."

Upon hearing Tianci's words, they were all speechless, unsure of what to say.

A moment later...

Seeing that Tianci still refused to sit on that futon.

The Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Celestial Venerable could only apologize to Hongjun on his behalf.

"This humble disciple is ignorant and ungrateful; I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness..."

"It's alright..."

Faced with Tianci's rejection, Hongjun didn't say anything more.

Immediately afterwards, Hongjun ignored everyone and began to preach to himself.

"I will preach for three thousand years, and what I will preach is the Great Luo Dao. As for how much you can comprehend, that depends on your own destiny."

"There is something undifferentiated and complete, which existed before heaven and earth. Silent and still, it stands alone and unchanging, ever-present and inexhaustible. It can be regarded as the mother of all things. I do not know its name, so I call it the Way, and I give it the name Great. It is the Great Way."

"The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and through the interaction of these two forces, harmony is achieved. This gives birth to Heaven and Earth. It gives birth to Immortals and Buddhas. It gives birth to Sages and Virtuous Men. All of them are born from the Tao. This continuous cycle of creation and transformation is infinitely wondrous."

"What is the Great Luo? It is the gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head and the convergence of the five elements..."

When the sage preached, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, celestial music sang endlessly, dragons offered pearls, phoenixes spread their wings, peacocks displayed their tails, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared one after another.

"Truly worthy of being the first saint of the primordial world!"

Seeing the various wondrous phenomena that appeared in the hall as Hongjun began his sermon, Tianci couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

But at this moment!

"Ding! Successfully rejected Hongjun! Reward: Three Thousand Chaos Dao!"

The system notification sounded quietly in Tianci's mind.

Ok?

Three thousand chaotic great paths?

Tianci was slightly taken aback.

Until I finished reading all the information that flooded my mind.
