Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

Di Jun and Tai Yi did not know the meaning of the futon, and only thought it was a place.

Although sitting in the front row would make it easier to get the saint's attention, the two were arrogant and didn't care. Xu Qing had long known that there was no place for him, so none of the three made any statement.

Beside them, Zhen Yuanzi and Fuxi were protecting Hongyun and Nuwa respectively. When they saw the three of them enter, they nodded as a greeting.

Only one young man carrying a sword remained silent, his eyes filled with gloom; he was likely Styx.

Hou Tu Wang Shu, Mu Gong Jin Mu, and others also nodded slightly without speaking.

Over the next few hundred years, more and more primordial creatures gathered, and the three thousand years were about to arrive.

With the sound of a bell, Xu Qing, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened them. He was surprised to find that Hongjun had already taken his seat in the main seat.

At this moment, Hongjun had completely returned to his original simplicity, dressed in a Taoist robe, looking like an ordinary old man.

He slowly opened his mouth:

"We will preach the Way of the Great Luo three times, each time three thousand years apart, and each time we will sit in the same position. This time, we will preach the Way of the Great Luo."

After the rules were explained, everyone below agreed. Hongjun was about to begin his sermon and was about to speak again.

Suddenly, a figure rushed from behind and slid down to kneel on the prayer mat.

"Your Majesty, my fellow disciple and I have been rushing to Zixiao Palace for three thousand years, hoping to reach Your Majesty's sacred place as soon as possible."

Listening to the voice of the Great Dao, I never imagined that the West was so remote. We have only just arrived. I humbly request that the Sage grant me a meditation cushion, so that I may better seek the Dao.

The man holding the Seven Treasures Tree was none other than Zhunti, one of the two Western Saints. Behind him followed another person with a dignified and compassionate appearance, who was none other than Jieyin.

Upon hearing Zhunti's words, the five people on the prayer mats in front of him all frowned slightly. Everyone knew that sitting on these prayer mats would bring benefits, yet Zhunti was so shameless as to directly ask the saint for something.

Even those behind him without the prayer mats looked at Zhunti with disdain. Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh that Zhunti was even more shameless than he had imagined.

Only Hongyun looked reluctant, as if Zhunti's words had indeed moved him.

Zhunti was covered in dust and grime, and the Western world had indeed suffered a great calamity not long ago; this man was truly pitiful.

Thinking of this, Hongyun stood up and gestured for Zhunti to sit down.

Zhen Yuanzi stared wide-eyed from the side.

He only knew that his friend was somewhat indecisive, but he never expected that he would actually give up the prayer mat in Zixiao Palace. By the time he tried to stop him, it was too late, and he could only sigh heavily.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Zhunti sat down happily, then remembered that his senior brother Jieyin did not have a futon, and looked at Kunpeng beside him.

Kunpeng, who had been looking at Hongyun with a sinister expression, noticed Zhunti looking over and snorted coldly, about to speak, but was knocked off the prayer mat by Yuanshi with a flick of his sleeve.

"Hmph, a creature born from moisture and hatched from eggs, covered in scales and feathers."

Jieyin seized the opportunity and immediately sat on the empty prayer mat, exchanging a smile with Zhunti.

Kunpeng was furious and wanted to attack Yuanshi, but Hongjun glanced at him instead.

Kunpeng was struck as if by lightning, his whole body trembling. He immediately stopped and found another seat for himself.

Hongjun, seeing that he had secured a good spot, began to preach.

As Hongjun uttered each word, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, endless purple mist rose, and celestial light danced in the air within the Zixiao Palace.

The voice of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was like a great bell, encompassing everything, leaving everyone present mesmerized.

Before long, Dao De was the first to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, followed closely by Yuan Shi, Ling Bao, and Xu Qing.

After that, Nuwa, Kunpeng, Styx, and others also broke through one after another. In an instant, all kinds of strange phenomena appeared in Zixiao Palace, such as Taiji Bagua, Blood Sea and Underworld Abyss, Sun and Moon, and Dragon and Snake phenomena, too numerous to mention.

By the time the sermon reached its first thousand years, most of the famous powerful beings in the primordial world had reached the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. At this moment, they were all closing their eyes to stabilize their realm.

After breaking through, Xu Qing took advantage of this opportunity to comprehend the laws of emotions and destruction, and naturally made rapid progress.

Three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Qing has already gained a preliminary understanding of the Law of Destruction, and his mastery of the Law of Emotions has reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Hongjun stopped preaching and quietly waited for everyone to awaken from their own paths, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Only after the last powerful being regained consciousness did Hongjun slowly speak, saying:

"The Great Way is boundless; who can be without doubt?"

Even someone with a pure and tranquil mind cannot resist the opportunity to seek guidance from a sage. He reacted the fastest, quickly rising to ask:

"May I ask the sage, what is a sage, and what is the primordial chaos?"

Hongjun smiled, looked at Daode, and slowly replied, "A sage is a primordial chaos, but a primordial chaos is not a sage. Sages are few, but primordial chaos is countless."

He bowed and expressed his gratitude, then sat down to begin contemplating his own path.

Seeing his elder brother sit down, Yuanshi immediately stood up and asked, "May I ask, sage, who can be considered a sage?"

Hongjun replied: "Those with great merit, great fortune, great perseverance, and great wisdom can become saints."

After saying this, before anyone else could ask any more questions, Hongjun's figure vanished, disappearing without a trace.

As soon as the sage left, Kunpeng could no longer contain himself. The pressure of a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal burst forth as he sought revenge against Yuanshi for knocking off his prayer mat.

Yuanshi remained undaunted. He too was a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, his Daoist principles swirling, his power boundless. At the same time, Daode and Lingbao quietly stood behind Yuanshi, staring at Kunpeng, their meaning self-evident.

Seeing this, Kunpeng didn't say anything more, just snorted coldly and was about to fly towards Jieyin.

Upon seeing this, Jieyin stood up, his whole body radiating brilliant light. Zhunti stood behind him, the Seven Treasures Tree casting countless rays of light, all staring at Kunpeng.

Kunpeng turned around again and saw Zhen Yuanzi behind Hongyun taking out the Earth Book and giving Kunpeng a cold snort.

"Well done, everyone!"

Kunpeng felt remorseful and was afraid that these people would swarm him and kill him. However, he was still verbally aggressive. Then, he flapped his wings and flew towards the Northern Sea.

Seeing this, Xu Qing also put away the God-Slaying Spear and shook his head with some regret. If the eight people present had rushed forward together, they could have easily captured Kunpeng.

Perhaps it was out of consideration for the sacred site of the sage.

Xu Qing stopped thinking about it and strode forward to stand with Sanqing, attracting a lot of attention from those around them.

Some of them were good at deduction and quickly learned about Xu Qing's background. They were all quite surprised, not expecting that the Great God Pangu had a descendant in this Zixiao Palace.

Some people frowned slightly. The Three Pure Ones were already top-tier experts, and now that there was another one, if they were to run into them in the future, they would probably only have the option of running away.

Ignoring the thoughts of the people present, Xu Qing bowed to his three elder brothers. Dao De quickly helped him up and said, "We are of the same origin and as close as brothers. There is no need for such formalities."

Xu Qing felt a natural sense of closeness in his heart and was still excited. He smiled and said, "Since he is my elder brother, I should treat him with the respect due to an elder brother."

Seeing Xu Qing's firm attitude, Daode smiled and shook his head, no longer speaking. Instead, Lingbao stepped forward, patted Xu Qing, and said, "You've said everything. You're so sensible, doesn't that make me seem rude?"

Upon hearing this, all four laughed, and from that moment on, Xu Qing and the Three Pure Ones formally considered each other brothers.
