Chapter 45

As the words fell, the entire place fell silent.

Whether it was the boy Haotian walking back, or the many innate sacred beings following behind him, eager to move.

At this moment, they were all stiff, their faces blank with shock, frozen in place!

Were they not hearing things?

Hongjun was the first supreme being in the Honghuang Tian Di to attain the Dao of a Da Luo Golden Immortal of Chaos.

Even if you are the Lord of the Star Court, the orthodox successor of the Honghuang Tian Di, and a being destined to become the emperor ruling over all living creatures in the future.

You cannot be so reckless, can you?!

You are, after all, still only a cultivator at the level of a Golden Immortal of Chaos.

To show such disrespect to Hongjun and tease him right from the start.

Are you truly not afraid that he might fly into a rage?

And slap you to death?

The minds of Dijiang and the others.

Could not quite wrap themselves around this either.

They had originally thought that they were reckless and wild enough.

Who could have imagined.

That their eldest brother was even more formidable than them by three points!

He is truly worthy of being formed from the Father God's celestial spirit.

He truly has an unyielding backbone and courage that defies the heavens!

While feeling surprised and full of admiration in their hearts.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches stared with burning eyes at the figure on the Nine Heavens prayer mat, whose holy aura permeated the heavens.

If he showed any intention of harming Diti.

They would immediately form the Twelve Capital Divine Array!

Even if they could not stop Hongjun for long.

They would carve out a path of survival for Diti!

However, what they never expected was.

Not only did Hongjun not show the slightest anger, or even a hint of displeasure.

Instead, he acted like a child seeing his elder.

His attitude was incomparably humble and modest!

"Fellow Daoist, you overpraise me; this poor Daoist merely obtained a few opportunities."

"And by sheer luck, reached this point today."

"In order to give back to heaven and earth and benefit all living beings."

"So that the path ahead for the myriad creatures is no longer lost."

"I dared to take my own cultivation experience and Great Dao insights and announce them widely."

Speaking in a gentle voice, Hongjun waved his large hand, manifesting a prayer mat right beside him, and personally stood up to invite Diti.

"Fellow Daoist is uniquely favored by heaven and earth, carries the orthodoxy of the world, and attaining the Dao of a Da Luo Golden Immortal of Chaos is merely a matter of time."

"My meager cultivation experience and Great Dao insights."

"Are purely showing off before an expert in your presence and are not worth mentioning."

"Please, move over here."

"This sermon is only for them."

"You and I shall naturally treat this as a discussion of the Dao."

Seeing Hongjun lower his attitude so much.

Without giving him any opportunity to find fault.

A flicker of thought passed through the depths of Diti's eyes.

He stepped toward the prayer mat and sat directly upon it.

"Three ladies, please move over here."

After Diti took his seat, Hongjun immediately manifested three more prayer mats and placed them behind him.

Extending an invitation to the three sisters of Wang Shu.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist."

Wang Shu nodded calmly in response and took her seat behind Diti with Xihe and the other.

As for the innate star gods, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and Randen who had slipped in, Hongjun naturally could not provide prayer mats.

Seeing Diti and the others sit down, making it impossible to disrupt his plan to confer the holy positions.

He returned to his original posture of being proud of heaven and earth, viewing all things as ants, and sat back down on the Nine Heavens prayer mat.

The many innate sacred beings outside the Zixiao Palace.

Watching as everything settled down.

The six prayer mats at the front of the great hall had not been occupied.

They immediately swarmed in with wild joy in their eyes!

Competing for the ownership of the prayer mats!

"The old goat has quite a lot of schemes."

Diti looked at Wang Shu and the others sitting behind him.

A hint of disdain and mockery quietly arose in the depths of his eyes.

He knew very well in his heart.

Why Hongjun gave him and the three sisters of Wang Shu a prayer mat each.

It was nothing more than fear that they would have nowhere to sit.

And would occupy the six prayer mats that represented the future landscape and were used to repay the karma of heaven and earth.

Honestly, he really did not care for the position of a Heavenly Dao Saint at all.

Not only because after attaining the Dao and becoming a Saint, one would be forever controlled by others and could only show off one's power within the Honghuang Tian Di.

Whenever one went out into the Chaos, one's strength would definitely be reduced by more than thirty percent!

It was more because he was the orthodox successor of the Honghuang Tian Di, the master of the three talents of heaven, earth, and man!

Let alone a Heavenly Dao Saint, even his master, the Heavenly Dao, belonged under his control!

In this case, why would he lower his status.

To scheme for the position of a subordinate slave?

As for the three of Wang Shu, there was even less need.

As his Dao companions, how could they be inferior to others!

"Truly worthy of being a synonym for conspiracy and intrigue."

"Even for a small matter like grabbing a seat, he has to intervene personally."

Diti watched as the many innate sacred beings, the moment they moved to grab the prayer mats.

Most of them actually appeared slightly dazed.

He immediately understood in his heart that this was a hidden move Hongjun had laid out to ensure his plan did not go wrong.

"The Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, Kunpeng..."

Watching the original owners of the prayer mats take their seats one by one.

As Diti pondered whether to use the cover of the Chaos Bead to give Hongjun a surprise.

The brothers Di Jun, whom he had injured, finally arrived outside the Zixiao Palace after rushing in a hurry.

Seeing that the innate sacred beings were all frantically grabbing for prayer mats.

The two of them did not bother to think about anything else.

Taiyi directly unleashed his full power, brandishing the Chaos Bell to forcibly charge into the crowd of innate sacred beings.

Opening a path for his elder brother.

And Di Jun did not hesitate in the slightest.

He directly burned his origin, performed the Golden Crow Transformation into Rainbow Art, bypassed the crowd of innate sacred beings, and grabbed the last prayer mat before Hongyun, who was about to sit down!

Occupied the last prayer mat!

Of course, the reason the two were able to be so successful.

Aside from the threat of the Chaos Bell and Di Jun's decisiveness, it was mostly due to the deterrence of Diti.

No matter what identity the brothers Di Jun had now.

Or whether they still belonged to the Star Court.

As long as Diti had not publicly stated it for a single day.

That he had expelled the two from the Star Court and stripped them of their status as innate star gods!

Then they could not openly target the two, or even attack them in front of Diti!

"This is truly the fickleness of fate and the unpredictability of worldly affairs."

"The punishment I gave unintentionally back then."

"Actually gave Di Jun and his brother the opportunity to occupy the prayer mats."

Diti looked at Di Jun, who had occupied a prayer mat.

And Hongyun, who was not angry at all, but instead pulled the indignant Zhenyuanzi to sit casually.

A hint of amusement could not help but rise in his heart.

"If Hongyun hadn't been soft-hearted and given up his seat, Kunpeng wouldn't have been implicated, and the prayer mats naturally wouldn't have fallen into the hands of Jieyin and his brother."

"Plus, when the Dao-Demon Struggle ended, Luo Hou didn't do things to the extreme."

"He only destroyed the surface landscape of the core area of the Western lands, as well as some minor earth veins."

"So that the karma Hongjun owed the West was not as massive as in the original trajectory."

"In this way, he shouldn't use two Heavenly Dao Saint positions to repay the karma he owes."

"So does this mean that the Heavenly Dao Saint positions that should have been occupied by Jieyin and his brother."

"Have now become ownerless, and belong to whoever grabs them?"
