Chapter 20: The Innate Gourd Vine Appears, the Six Saints Gather at Mount Buzhou

After the three thousand Zixiao Guests left Zixiao Palace, the great doors of Zixiao Palace closed behind them.

At this moment, only Hongjun and his two attendants, Haotian and Yaochi, remained in the palace.

"Children~!"

"Master!" Haotian and Yaochi replied respectfully.

"How long have you two served your master?" Hongjun asked calmly.

Perhaps knowing what was about to happen, Haotian and Yaochi revealed a hint of reluctance.

"Reporting to Master, Haotian has followed Master for three hundred and sixty-five epochs, totaling forty-seven million three hundred and four thousand years."

"Reporting to Master, Yaochi has followed Master for two hundred and forty-eight epochs, totaling thirty-two million one hundred and forty-eight thousand years."

The two replied with the utmost respect.

"So it has been that long~!" Hongjun sighed with emotion.

Saying this, he looked at their current cultivation level of Daluo Golden Immortal Peak and nodded slightly.

"I am about to undergo Heda, and it is time for you two to leave!"

"Master! Do you really not want your children anymore?" Hearing this, Yaochi could not suppress her sorrow and cried out.

Beside her, Haotian also revealed a sense of reluctance.

After all, he had lived here for countless years.

Suddenly facing departure, it was inevitable that he would feel sad in his heart.

"Silly children, after I undergo Heda, Hongjun will be the Heavenly Rice, but the Heavenly Rice is not Hongjun. You children no longer need to stay in Zixiao Palace; go to the Primordial World and seek your own opportunities!"

After speaking, he took out several top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures he had prepared long ago and handed them to the two.

He then stopped speaking, sat on the Puan, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Seeing this, Haotian and Yaochi looked at each other in dismay.

Thinking of their imminent departure, their hearts were filled with gloom.

After thinking it over, Haotian took the lead and knelt on the Puan.

"Master, Haotian thanks you for your grace of enlightenment and cultivation."

Having said this, he looked at the familiar palace and the familiar environment one last time, then resolutely took Yaochi's hand and left Zixiao Palace.

As soon as they stepped out the door, their appearance and stature changed from that of children into a pair of young man and woman.

The man had a firm, handsome, and profound face, appearing quite steady.

The woman was in the prime of her youth, beautiful as a flower, with a hint of ethereal spirit in her eyes.

Arriving before the gate, the two kowtowed three times to the palace entrance.

Then, without looking back, they flew toward the Primordial World.

He intended to take Yaochi to the former site of Zixiao Palace, Yujing Mountain, to open a new cave dwelling, and then use the several top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures bestowed by his teacher, the Rice Ancestor, to slay his corpses and break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

After all, the current top-tier figures of the Primordial World were no longer Daluo Golden Immortals, but those at the Quasi-Saint realm and Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

It might even become a world of Saints in the future.

Therefore, when one's strength is insufficient, everything else is false; only strength is real.

Now that so many Quasi-Saints had appeared in the Primordial World, he had to break through.

……

Huntun Fenbao Yan.

After the three thousand Zixiao Guests had finished dividing up the various Innate Spiritual Treasures and saw that the Zixiao Palace gates were closed,

they each flew off toward the Primordial World.

And as the three thousand Zixiao Guests returned one by one from the Chaos Purple Heaven Palace, the Primordial World saw the majority of the matters concerning Zixiao Palace spread throughout the entire Primordial World.

The news regarding the opportunity for the Proof of Rice and the seven Saints under the Heavenly Rice caused the living beings of the Primordial World to boil with excitement.

At this time, the six Saints of the Heavenly Rice personally appointed by Hongjun Daozu, as well as Hongyun Laozu who had not yet been taken in as a disciple,

immediately became objects of pursuit and awe for the living beings of the Primordial World.

After all, these few were heaven-ordained Saints; offending them would certainly lead to no good in the days to come.

……

On the other side, the three brothers of Laozi, having gained a full harvest, had just returned from the Chaos.

Just as they intended to return to East Kunlun, Laozi felt a response in his heart, stopped his movement, and looked up toward the direction of Mount Buzhou.

"What is it, Eldest Brother?"

Seeing Laozi stop in his tracks, the others asked curiously.

Tongtian, seeing this, also looked suspiciously at Laozi and the direction of Mount Buzhou.

"Let's go! Mount Buzhou holds my opportunity!"

After speaking,

Laozi took the lead and flew in front, tearing through layers of the void, and sped toward Mount Buzhou.

Who would have thought that as soon as the three brothers arrived at Mount Buzhou, they would see the figures of the two brothers Di Jun and Donghuang, as well as Fuxi, Nuwa, Minghe Laozu, and Hongyun Laozu.

Below, in front of an Innate Great Array, the six of them—Di Jun and the others—saw the three brothers arrive uninvited, and their expressions immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Three fellow Daoists, what brings you here?"

At this moment, the outnumbered Minghe stood out directly and asked them coldly while looking at the three of them.

To this, Laozi smiled indifferently: "A great treasure has emerged, and where opportunity lies, I have come!"

"You fellow, the three of us brothers have come here; do you actually intend to stop us?"

Looking at Minghe's slightly guarded expression, Tongtian shouted unhappily.

"Hmph!" Minghe looked gloomily at Hongyun Laozu, then at the pairs of Fuxi and Nuwa, Di Jun and Donghuang, and the Pangu Three Pure Ones.

Knowing that his opportunity this time was shallow, he simply and decisively flew away from this place without looking back.

Originally, he had followed behind Hongyun Laozu, intending to find an opportunity to seize his Primordial Violet Qi.

Who would have known that while passing by Mount Buzhou, he would unexpectedly detect a trace of opportunity.

He then immediately came to this place with Hongyun Laozu, but following the appearance of Di Jun, Fuxi, Laozi, and the others.

Thus, for the sake of the Primordial Violet Qi, the opportunity for the Proof of Rice, he endured it.

On the road ahead to Huoyun Dong, that is the death date of Hongyun Laozu!

One must know, he could see that at the time, many people inside Zixiao Palace looked at Hongyun Laozu with eyes carrying various inexplicable intentions.

He did not believe that during this period, no one would make a move against Hongyun Laozu!

……

Seeing that one person was already missing, Di Jun no longer waited for the heavy treasure to emerge and directly used violence to break the Innate Great Array.

Fortunately, he, Di Jun, possessed treasures such as the River Chart and Luo Book, and was also quite proficient in the way of arrays.

Before long, this Innate Great Array was quickly broken.

The few people immediately flew into it together.

Facing them, they saw treasure light radiating in all directions ahead, emitting thick innate restrictions.

It made one know at a glance that this was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Seeing this, the eyes of the few people all lit up at once.

At this time, an Innate Spiritual Treasure represented the threshold to becoming a Quasi-Saint.

The higher the grade of the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the stronger the Three Corpses one could sever.

Therefore, no one would think they had too many Innate Spiritual Treasures; they would only feel that Innate Spiritual Treasures were never enough to use!

Just as Yuanshi intended to break open the treasure light to see exactly what kind of spiritual treasure was gestating inside.

A Divine Stele in front of the treasure light suddenly erupted with a powerful Divine Will.

Its Divine Will also carried an incomparable willpower, fiercely pressing down upon the few people.

This sudden change truly caught the few people off guard.

Especially Yuanshi; the magic power he had just gathered in his hands to break the treasure light was suddenly halted under the scouring of this Divine Will and willpower, causing it to be uncontrollable for a moment.

This made Yuanshi feel he had lost much face, and his expression became incomparably ugly for a time!
