Chapter 377: Hongjun

Xiang Xuanqing's sleeves fluttered without wind, leading almost all the top deities of the Primordial World.

They were like a brilliant galaxy traversing the boundless Chaos, shining with light and possessing majestic auras.

Before long, they arrived at a special region deep within the Primordial World.

Chaos remained the eternal backdrop of this place; nothingness and violence were its ancient, unchanging theme song.

Distorted space-time emitted a silent yet soul-shaking roar here, with folded light and shadow shifting into incredible, indescribable, and eerie spectacles.

Many Great Luo Supremes frowned slightly.

Upon first arriving, they actually felt a slight stagnation and discomfort in the operation of their own Great Dao.

If they were like this, it went without saying for those Great Beings of the Taiyi level.

The violent chaotic currents and the sense of space-time disorder made some Taiyi deities feel their minds waver.

"Where is this?" a Taiyi deity from the Myriad Worlds asked, filled with doubt.

As Taiyi Great Beings who roamed the Myriad Worlds, it wasn't as if they hadn't been to Chaos before.

But this place was vastly different.

Entering this region felt like stepping into a domain of void Great Dao, and a terrifying sense of being lost constantly shrouded their hearts.

Xiang Xuanqing spoke: "This place is called: Wuji."

Hearing Fu Xi Xi's eyelids lifted, then returned to calmness.

Xiang Xuanqing continued: "This Wuji Land is a marvelous place specifically crafted by Fellow Daoist Hongjun for seclusion, seeking the Great Dao of Hunyuan Wuji."

"If any fellow daoists are interested, you may explore a bit; perhaps you will have gains."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of many deities lit up.

In other words, this was the legacy of Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

Referencing the value of Mount Bai Yu Jing, digging three feet into the ground here wouldn't be excessive!

For a moment, everyone was moved.

However, after waiting for a few breaths, not a single deity actually took action.

All the Great Luo Supremes, after adapting to the special Dao intent of the Wuji Land, stood calmly in place.

The Taiyi deities saw the big shots showing no reaction.

Those with quick minds already understood—since the Wuji Land was so unique, the Lady Zi Xiao Palace must be the top priority!

Why pick wild grass on the way when you could go to the final treasure location?

"Heavenly Emperor, although this place has profound Great Dao intent, the meeting is more important."

A Dragon God of the Dragon Clan spoke: "Compared to this, we are more concerned about the Primordial World's civilizing cause."

"Yes, yes, yes, we love meetings, we like meetings!"

The Taiyi deities echoed: "It is said that actively holding meetings is a fine tradition of the Taiwei Heavenly Court; we cannot break the precedent."

The group of Great Luo saw that the Taiyi deities hadn't been fooled, and expressions of regret appeared in their eyes.

【I originally wanted to see how many treasure-hunting Taiyi would lose themselves and then stage a rescue of their peers, but I didn't expect them not to fall for it.】

【It seems we are still too serious, to the point that they became suspicious.】

All the Great Luo Supremes present were reflecting in the depths of their hearts.

The Taiyi deities who had come to their senses felt a secret lingering fear.

【Compared to these Supremes, we are still a bit green. This Lady Zi Xiao Palace Assembly must clarify the Great Luo rules, otherwise, we won't be able to make it in this era!】

"Since everyone is so active about the meeting, we won't linger."

Having said that, a circle of Primordial Clear Light, indescribable in words, naturally permeated from Xiang Xuanqing's body, as if containing the most primordial power from the beginning of the universe's creation.

Wherever the clear light reached, above and below, front and back, left and right, all the chaotic and messy Great Dao intent of the Wuji Land became like wild horses instantly tamed by an invisible giant hand, immediately becoming docile and peaceful.

The Taiyi deities bathed in this layer of seemingly inconspicuous Primordial Clear Light, feeling an indescribable warmth and stability flowing through their limbs and bones like a trickling stream, nourishing their soul essence and Dao bodies.

The previous various discomforts, suppression, and sense of crisis had now vanished without a trace.

They did not know how long they had been traveling in the Wuji Land.

Finally, the outline of a blurry yet exceptionally magnificent palace, radiating an ancient and desolate aura, began to emerge bit by bit in the vision of the deities.

It stood there quietly, as if it had existed since the birth of the universe, ancient and unchanging, or as if it had just condensed into form from the deepest nothingness because of their arrival.

"Is this the Lady Zi Xiao Palace?"

The magnificent and atmospheric palace, with Great Dao true scripts written in a flying dragon and dancing phoenix style, made the deities realize they had arrived at the venue.

Oh no, it was the Supreme Lecture Hall of the Primordial Heavenly Dao Academy.

The Hall Master here was Hongjun.

Among the Spiritual Root team, 【Old Man Willow】 Yang Mei looked at the "Lady Zi Xiao Palace" plaque with a complex expression.

He was hesitating whether to go in.

"Fellow daoists, follow me!"

Xiang Xuanqing led the deities, about to enter the Lady Zi Xiao Palace.

At this moment, the Lady Zi Xiao Palace gates opened without warning.

As the palace gates slowly opened, in an instant, a majestic and vast pressure, like an endless torrent of the Nine Heavens Milky Way breaking its dam, mixed with an indescribable, cold, and ruthless "Heavenly Dao" will, swept crazily toward all the deities outside the palace gates!

"What is going on?"

This sudden, terrifying aura left the Primordial deities stunned.

They sensed some kind of terrifying will rapidly awakening.

A pair of cold eyes, carrying a scrutinizing meaning and a terrifying desire to completely decompose, devour, and turn all external dissidents into a part of itself, stared fixedly at the deities.

In this instant, the feeling given by the entire Lady Zi Xiao Palace was as if it were no longer a dead and silent palace.

But a terrifying giant beast, lurking in the depths of Chaos and hungry for hundreds of millions of years, that had suddenly awakened.

These deities were the freshest "food" that had voluntarily delivered themselves to the door.

The Taiyi deities with weaker willpower, under the impact of this terrifying aura, saw their faces instantly turn as pale as paper, their soul essence trembling violently, their Dao bodies swaying, almost kneeling on the ground on the spot.

Even those powerful deities who had already attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit and experienced ten thousand tribulations without wearing down, at this moment, had to secretly circulate their profound arts, mobilizing the Great Dao origin power they mastered, and doing their utmost to resist, only then could they barely maintain their stability under the impact of this Heavenly Dao torrent.

The scene inside the palace also clearly entered the eyes of all the deities who withstood the pressure.

In the center of the hall, which was so high and wide it seemed to have no boundaries, the Nine-Fold Cloud Platform, radiating the power to suppress the eternal myriad heavens, still stood there like an unshakable ancient divine mountain.

On the cloud platform, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's figure remained in a cross-legged sitting posture; he had no expression on his face, as if he were a lifeless stone statue.

But at some point, his eyes had opened.

Extremely cold, extremely indifferent, without a single trace of emotion.

【Old Daoist】 Yang Mei widened his eyes, looking at Hongjun on the high platform in disbelief.

The Three Pure Ones looked at each other, instantly realizing the severity of the situation.

【As expected of the Dao Ancestor, to be able to break the seal under such circumstances, it seems we must suppress him severely!】

Clang!

Xiang Xuanqing made a prompt decision and drew the Heavenly Emperor Sword.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun wanted to attain the Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian realm through merging with the Dao. Now that the merging has failed, he has slipped to the edge of losing himself, his body is dominated by the Heavenly Dao, and a mutation has occurred!"

"Fellow daoists, although Hongjun is the ancestor of the Immortal Dao and the leader of the Dao Alliance, his achievements in civilizing all living beings cannot be erased!"

"Come, let us lend him a hand and save him!"

Xiang Xuanqing carried the Heavenly Emperor Sword and was the first to step into the Lady Zi Xiao Palace.

Yang Mei followed decisively.

The Three Pure Ones followed closely behind.

Nv Wa and Hearing Fu Xi Xi walked side by side.

Zhen Yuanzi pulled Hong Yun along, following the Heavenly Emperor's footsteps.

"Disperse!"

Xiang Xuanqing held the Heavenly Emperor Sword and, with absolute Heavenly Might, gave a light shout.

In an instant, those Heavenly Dao restrictions that were originally hidden and layered, as if receiving the command of some supreme will, quietly separated to both sides on their own.

Hongjun had just broken through the seal, and all the Great Dao orders he mastered gradually dissipated.

Like loyal subjects respectfully welcoming the inspection of a supreme monarch, they took the initiative to open up an absolutely safe and unobstructed path for him and the deities behind him.

The deities saw this scene and instantly understood the situation before them.

Although Hongjun had mutated, the Heavenly Emperor was still stronger!

Then just blindly following the Heavenly Emperor was enough!

"Follow the Heavenly Emperor, save the Dao Ancestor!"

The loyal official Kunpeng let out a howl and entered the Lady Zi Xiao Palace after Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun.

"Go!"

Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, Tai Yi, Di Jun, Wang Shu, Chang Xi, Xi He, Meng Wu You, Ming He, etc., all the Great Luo Supremes stepped into the Lady Zi Xiao Palace together.

"Seal!"

Xiang Xuanqing took out the Investiture of the Gods.

For a time, ten thousand paths of golden light and a thousand auspicious colors filled the hall.

His right hand gripped the Heavenly Emperor Sword, commanding the Heavenly Dao order; his left hand held the Investiture of the Gods, sealing the soul essence.

Many sages cooperated with the Heavenly Emperor, launching a saturated "rescue" of Hongjun.

"Dao Ancestor, do not panic, I am here to help you!"

【Taiwei Yuan Shi Tianzun】 took out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Above the Ruyi, hundreds of millions of brilliant rays of light bloomed, and in each ray, it seemed to reflect the complete cycle of birth, development, prosperity, decline, and final return to nothingness of a Great Thousand World.

"Dao Ancestor, hold on a little longer, we will definitely help you merge with the Dao."

Tai Shang took out the Taiji Diagram.

Golden light shone brightly, and the Dao diagram rotated; every time it rotated, endless Yin and Yang Qi flowed out, turning into hundreds of millions of thick Great Dao chains.

These chains were layered and airtight, completely submerging and imprisoning Hongjun's entire body.

Yuchen Daojun didn't speak, proving his sincere heart with actions.

He drew the Qingping Sword, and a terrifyingly sharp sword intent, sufficient to sever karma, destroy all illusions, and end all existence, already filled every corner of the Lady Zi Xiao Palace.

The actions of the Heavenly Emperor and the Three Pure Ones caused Hongjun's gaze to produce a trace of stagnation, no longer so cold.

"There's a chance!"

The deities were greatly encouraged; they looked at the cloud platform and sighed: "The Heavenly Emperor's virtue is eternal, actually not holding grudges and rescuing his opponent."

"Fellow Daoists of the Three Pure Ones are worthy of being the successors chosen by the Dao Ancestor; seeing the Dao Ancestor in trouble, they decisively stepped in to save him."

"Moved, so moved."

Before the deities took action, they even performed a round of inner drama.

And then they attacked Hongjun with peace of mind.

Nv Wa drew her Heavenly Blade, Hearing Fu Xi Xi swung his array compass, Zhen Yuanzi released a mushroom bomb, Hong Yun opened his mouth and started outputting, Kunpeng's wind and water, Di Jun's Sun True Fire, Tai Yi's Chaos Bell sound...

Some deities manifested fierce Dharma images with three heads and six arms and wide-open angry eyes, the divine power surging around them like a vast ocean, every breath triggering violent tides of chaotic primordial energy.

Other deities manifested solemn and compassionate holy appearances, each holding different mysterious Dharma artifacts in their hands, chanting ancient and profound Dao sounds containing the ultimate truths of the universe.

This killing god had surging blood evil; that demon king had monstrous demonic flames.

The three innate clans united once again.

All branches of the Immortal Dao attacked without hesitation.

The sages of the Myriad Worlds excitedly rescued the Dao Ancestor.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, hold on, victory is just ahead."

"Even if merging with the Dao fails and the Hunyuan path is broken, we will definitely help you clear a path."

"You can go with peace of mind!"

One deity after another attacked, exhausting their Great Dao supernatural powers.

Yang Mei mixed in among the deities; although he was the second to enter the Lady Zi Xiao Palace, he had been slow to attack Hongjun.

【Old Daoist, do you really need help? Give me a word!】

Yang Mei was still hesitating.

Merging with the Dao was indeed a part of Hongjun's plan.

This was something Hongjun said himself.

Although Hongjun's state looked wrong now, after the efforts of the Heavenly Emperor and the deities, Hongjun, who was about to break away from the state of merging with the Dao, had a trend of deepening the merge.

The Heavenly Emperor was really helping Hongjun merge with the Dao.

"Fellow Daoist Willow, why are you stunned?"

At this time, the leader of Xiang Xuanqing's support group, the Creation Green Lotus, called out: "As a support group, we must insist on following the footsteps of the president and keep in step with him."

"Now the president wants to save Hongjun, so we must save him."

"Although he was our enemy before, you might have resistance in your heart, but that is all in the past; we must look forward."

"So don't hesitate; whatever the president does, we learn, that is enough!"

The words of the Creation Green Lotus were like a sudden enlightenment, making Yang Mei suddenly understand.

【Right, I am Old Man Willow now; whatever I do, what does it have to do with Yang Mei?】

Yang Mei let go of his psychological burden and chose to respect Hongjun's personal destiny.

Merging with the Dao or losing himself, it didn't matter.

Anyway, now they were "saving" Hongjun.

Just do it!

After Yang Mei figured it out, he immediately joined this rescue operation for Hongjun.

I don't know if it was too much of a coincidence.

Just after Yang Mei joined the operation to "rescue" the Dao Ancestor, Hongjun produced a fierce resistance.

Only to see his stagnant gaze gradually have a trace of complex emotion.

Hum!!

The power of the Heavenly Dao erupted, and the Lady Zi Xiao Palace shook unceasingly.

The shackles on Hongjun's body collapsed one by one, and all the deities who attacked were backlashed, all taking a step back together.

"Reversal is the movement of the Dao!"

A profound and mysterious Heavenly Sound suddenly rang out.

Xiang Xuanqing's gaze condensed, looking at the high platform.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

Above Hongjun's head, auspicious clouds extended, boundless and limitless.

The Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Self Corpse descended from the celebration clouds, sitting quietly in the void.

Immediately after, auspicious clouds also extended above the heads of Hongjun's three corpses.

One figure after another walked down from them.

The deities saw this, and their eyelids jumped wildly.

Because these figures were all very familiar to them.

The Three Pure Ones, Jie Yin, Yao Chi, Nv Wa, Dong Hua, Kunpeng, Di Jun, Tai Yi...

Three thousand figures appeared, and like Hongjun's aura, they were all extremely cold and indifferent.

Not only were there deities from the Primordial True Realm, but there were also images of deities from the Myriad Worlds.

"That is... us?" The twelve Titan giants saw "themselves" and were shocked.

"Hmm? Is this the means possessed by deities of the Heavenly Dao path?"

A tentacle monster counting gold coins saw another tentacle monster counting gold coins.

The other party didn't seem to have money either.

It was exactly the same.

"This is a tragic story." The tentacle monster sighed, what happened to the Dao reversal?

What does it mean that you are exactly the same as me?

Next, if I beat you to death, I won't be able to explode any gold coins.

"Heavenly Sovereign, bless his mother!" Di Jun saw his "Dao-reversal body" and was so angry he gnashed his teeth:

"Fellow daoists, Dao Ancestor Hongjun has started to lose himself and has gone crazy; we must save him!"

"Demonic heretics, must be executed!" Tai Yi struck the Chaos Bell, flew forward, and started a great battle with another Tai Yi.

"Must strike with heavy punches!"

The deities attacked one after another.

If they attacked just now because they were following the Heavenly Emperor's call.

This time it was entirely out of personal grudges, taking the initiative to attack.

Which deity could remain calm upon seeing this scene.

"This guy Hongjun actually wants to evolve the Dao of all gods with his own strength."

"Damn it, I said before that the Heavenly Earth contract had so many practical benefits; it turns out the root is here!"

"Mutual benefit, is this how it benefits? I help you perfect the Heavenly Dao, and you use the Heavenly Dao to replace me?"

"This is intolerable!"

"This is a demonic heretic, a heresy, a public enemy of the Primordial World, must be taken down!"

One deity after another was extremely angry and wanted to vent the resentment in their hearts.

And Xiang Xuanqing, Tai Shang, Yuchen, as well as Wu You and Ming He, saw this scene and almost didn't laugh out loud.

【Good, good, good, I originally wanted to take everyone to perform a play, to play a rescue drama, but I didn't expect Hongjun to add drama to himself.】 Xiang Xuanqing also saw his own "Dao-reversal body."

This is not Dao reversal at all!

This is reactionary!

Tai Shang sighed: 【We tried our best to organize activities, but it's not as clever as Hongjun.】

Just now everyone still had the idea of watching the fun and slacking off.

Now all the deities are united in hatred, saying they want to kill Hongjun.

Yuchen looked at the high platform and transmitted: 【Do you think Hongjun is really crazy? If he wasn't crazy, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.】

【I actually think this hand is played well!】

Ming He chuckled: 【If I learned this hand, I could kill whoever I want, and kill however I want!】

【Then you had better hide it tightly, otherwise everyone will definitely join hands to nail you to the river of time and space.】 Meng Wu You's words poured cold water on Ming He, letting him calm down.

Meng Wu You now seriously suspected that Hongjun's fundamental Great Dao might not be the Balance Great Dao.

But the Ma Jia (Alias) Great Dao.

What kind of good person opens so many aliases?

"Kill!!!"

In the Lady Zi Xiao Palace, the killing intent was monstrous.

"Everyone pay attention, there is a Dao-reversal body about to slip away!"

She Bi Shi saw his own Dao-reversal body fighting, suddenly took a big step back, protected his peers in front of him, and then secretly slipped toward the gate.

He felt this scene was very familiar.

"No, I wouldn't abandon my teammates!" She Bi Shi muttered, and then came out with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, blocking the Lady Zi Xiao Palace gate.

"Absolutely must not let a single Dao-reversal body run away!"

Xiang Xuanqing pushed out a sword, like the momentum of opening the sky, directly splitting another himself to death.

He turned his head to look at the high platform.

The emotions in Hongjun's eyes were constantly changing.

Or wisdom, or compassion, or majesty, or coldness, becoming richer and richer.

"Innate Great Dao, Nine-Turn Immortality, Supreme Hunyuan Pill. Fellow Daoist Tai Shang's medicinal pills are really full of blessings and curses."

Xiang Xuanqing guessed the means by which Hongjun was able to break the seal.

The blessing allowed the other party to embark on the path of "Dao becoming Hunyuan," and the curse allowed the other party to be deeply trapped in merging with the Dao.

The blessing allowed the other party to break the seal, and the curse allowed the other party to choose an extreme way to impact the seal.

This is simply wonderful.

"Nine-Turn Immortality, it didn't say you could live either!"

Xiang Xuanqing chuckled, "Neither born nor destroyed, returning to the Dao, should be supreme!"

After speaking, Xiang Xuanqing flicked his sleeves.

Three thousand rays of light flew out, cast toward the Primordial deities.

"This is the teaching tool of our Primordial Heavenly Dao Academy, everyone familiarize yourselves, and then fully rescue the Vice Principal!"

"This is 【Sober Heavenly Dao】?" A red-robed Daoist wearing a copper coin mask took over a ball of light.

He casually raised his bone sword, a sword light dissected the confusion, manifesting its core rules.

One pure rune after another turned into a Heavenly Dao chain, slowly winding around Hongjun's body.

"Hmm, 【Poverty Heavenly Dao】? Did I get it wrong, at least give me an 【Evil Heavenly Dao】!" The tentacle monster muttered in a low voice, making a sound of dissatisfaction.

"Why is yours 【Light Heavenly Dao】, and mine is 【Black-hearted Heavenly Dao】?" The Dark Destruction Mo Shen looked at his companion, the Light Destruction Mo Shen, and then at the ball of light in his own palm.

He was a bit speechless.

Is it possible that I, the Dark Destruction Mo Shen, am not dark enough?

Why not give me 【Dark Heavenly Dao】!

"【Nurturing Heavenly Dao】? Hmm, it seems quite suitable for my current situation." Yuan Huang was very satisfied with this; next, she really needed to play with nurturing.

Hearing Fu Xi Xi received a Heavenly Dao, his hand shook, almost throwing it out directly.

"【Scheming Heavenly Dao】, Heavenly Emperor, you are slandering me!"

Hearing Fu Xi Xi was full of resentment.

After shooting his own Dao-reversal body to death, he kneaded the 【Scheming Heavenly Dao】 into a small cloth doll, which was Hongjun's appearance.

Then he conjured a silver needle and pricked the small cloth doll back and forth.

Every time he pricked a needle, there would be one more Heavenly Dao chain on Hongjun's body.

Nv Wa saw this and silently took the 【Robbery Heavenly Dao】 and stayed away from her brother.

"【Undercover Heavenly Dao】???"

When Yang Mei got his Heavenly Dao, he expressed his rebuttal in his heart: "I am loyal to the Heavenly Emperor, absolutely not some undercover immortal!"

"Must have taken the wrong one just now!"

Tai Yi looked down at the Heavenly Dao in his hand, his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "【Beauty Heavenly Dao】."

After the Green Dragon got the Heavenly Dao, he quietly notified 【Xuanxiao Goddess】 Fu Yu (Xuan Ming).

"Guess what Heavenly Dao I am? 【Devotion Heavenly Dao】!"

After Kunpeng received the Heavenly Dao, he was so moved that tears came down: "【Loyalty Heavenly Dao】, the Heavenly Emperor still understands me."

One strange Heavenly Dao after another appeared, making the Primordial deities greatly interested, while also better exerting their strength and exerting influence on Hongjun.

Whenever a Great Dao was displayed to the extreme, the corresponding order chain on Hongjun's body would be strengthened.

At the same time, the aura fluctuation of Hongjun himself became smaller and smaller, and his rich expressions gradually became indifferent.

As one Dao-reversal body after another was beheaded, there were more and more Heavenly Dao chains on Hongjun's body.

When his last trace of struggle vanished, Hongjun's eyes became increasingly deep.

Finally, it tended to be hollow.

"Phew, finally over."

The Primordial deities were busy for a long time, and finally "rescued" Hongjun from madness.

"Finally over!"

The Primordial deities beheaded the Dao-reversal bodies and "rescued" the crazy Hongjun, and for a time, they were full of a sense of achievement.

"Actually, it is far from over."

Xiang Xuanqing shook his head slightly.

His deep, starry eyes looked calmly at Hongjun on the cloud platform, saying with much emotion:

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun voluntarily sacrificed his small self to deeply comprehend that supreme, mysterious, and unpredictable path of merging with the Dao." "He tried to use his own strength to open up a supreme Dao path for the hundreds of millions of living beings in our Primordial World that could truly lead to the Hunyuan Wuji Great Luo Jinxian realm."

"This path leads directly to Pangu and is a broad and smooth road."

"Only with such a mind and such ambition can one become the Vice Principal of our Heavenly Dao Academy."

Xiang Xuanqing explained Hongjun's "intentions" one by one.

And then, he said: "Merging with the Dao, merging with the Dao, the body merges with the Heaven, the spirit merges with the Dao; this path is extremely difficult, and at any time, one might slip into the abyss of losing oneself."

"The scene everyone saw just now is the manifestation of Dao Ancestor Hongjun losing his self and being unable to control himself."

The deities heard this and nodded one after another.

Even if Hongjun didn't lose his self just now, he must have lost his self.

Otherwise, who would be crazy enough to fabricate Dao-reversal bodies in front of three thousand sages?

Xiang Xuanqing saw that everyone accepted this statement, and he showed a smile: "Therefore, in order to help our Vice Principal Hongjun walk the path of Hunyuan, in order for the Primordial True Realm to have a path to the sky, and in order to seek welfare for the world's living beings."

"We must sincerely 'assist' the Dao Ancestor in merging with the Dao!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is absolutely right!" The deities were determined.

"We must help with this favor!"

If they hadn't seen their own Dao-reversal bodies, the deities would only have planned to have fun with the Heavenly Emperor.

Now it was different.

Everyone discovered that the thick-browed and big-eyed Hongjun could actually organize so many activities!

This was too dangerous.

Merging with the Dao, must send him to merge with the Dao!

Otherwise, if he ran away and secretly made some small accounts for them later, wouldn't that be disgusting?

At this moment, many deities compared Hongjun with Luo Hou.

They suddenly felt that compared to Hongjun, the overbearing Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was much more intimate.

At least Luo Hou was upright and open.

If he said he would do you, he would do you.

In a trial of the Dao Demon Tribulation, even a passing dog would get two slaps.

If he said he would elevate the demons, he would elevate the demons, never playing small tricks.

The welfare and treatment of the Demon Dao were top-notch among the Primordial forces.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun's spirit of self-sacrifice moves us greatly."

Kunpeng straightened his back and expressed righteously: "Helping Fellow Daoist Hongjun merge with the Dao, we are duty-bound!"

"Yes!"

As the leaders of the Western Loose Cultivator Alliance, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti both expressed their support for the Heavenly Emperor and their admiration for Hongjun.

Jie Yin said: "The past is all gone with the wind; what we need to look at is the future."

"What is the focus of the future? It is the Great Dao, it is the living beings, it is development!"

Zhun Ti said: "Fellow Daoist Hongjun voluntarily sacrificed himself to pursue the supreme realm; this is for the Great Dao."

"Once the Hunyuan Dao succeeds, living beings will have a complete promotion channel and can pursue better development."

"Therefore, from this level, we must support Fellow Daoist Hongjun."

"Well said!" The deities gave a thumbs up to Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

"Then I will say a few words too!" Next, one deity after another gave speeches.

They talked from theory to practice, from gods to living beings, from the Primordial World to the Myriad Worlds, from ancient times to the future, discussing the rationality and legality of helping Hongjun merge with the Dao from all angles without dead ends.

"Fellow Daoist Nv Wa, remember to write all of this into the History of Time." Xiang Xuanqing suddenly looked at Nv Wa.

Nv Wa had a serious face and nodded gently: "Heavenly Emperor, rest assured, I will record the words and deeds of everyone."

"Our Time and Space Administration writes books according to facts, not changing a single word."

The deities heard this and cheered one after another: "With such a righteous historian, why worry that the Primordial World will not flourish!"

After everyone expressed their support for Hongjun, Xiang Xuanqing smiled and said: "Then, we will now start the first lesson of this exchange and learning."

"Next, let us have President Hong deliver a speech."

As soon as these words were spoken, the deities were in an uproar.

Wait.

Didn't we just join hands to seal Hongjun?

Why is Principal Hong giving a speech now?

The deities looked at the high platform.

Only to see immortal energy ethereal, auspicious clouds shrouded.

Heavenly Dao Hongjun had disappeared, and a kind-faced Daoist appeared in front of the deities.

"Fellow daoists, please sit."

【Daoist Hongjun】 waved his hand, and prayer mats appeared in the hall.

"This..."

The deities looked at 【Daoist Hongjun】, and then looked at the Heavenly Emperor.

Xiang Xuanqing's expression remained unchanged, and he sat in the first seat of the first row.

The deities didn't dare to ask, didn't dare to think, and could only press down the doubts in their hearts and sit down.

The order of the seats was the same as the order of entering the Lady Zi Xiao Palace.

The deities sat down, and 【Daoist Hongjun】 said: "Thanks to the Heavenly Emperor's abandonment, I am the first Vice Principal of the Primordial Heavenly Dao Academy."

"Recalling the past, I have no merit in the founding of the Taiwei Heavenly Court, and I am truly ashamed of it."

"However, I dare not disobey the Heavenly Emperor's order, so I am listed in this position to explain the three thousand Great Daos for everyone."

The deities heard this and secretly translated: Caught by the Heavenly Emperor, can't run, can only slack off, and give everyone benefits.

【Daoist Hongjun】 continued: "I hold the Creation Jade Disk, acting on behalf of the Heavenly Dao; before completely merging with the Dao, I will pass on the three thousand Great Daos, totaling three lectures."

The deities continued to translate: Before merging with the Dao, I still have three opportunities to let out the wind, give everyone three benefits, everyone listen and cherish it.

【Daoist Hongjun】 finally said: "This is the first lecture, I hope everyone will have gains and achieve success in the Dao!"

The deities nodded together and arched their hands: "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, immeasurable merit!"

Free Great Dao, don't listen for nothing.

For Daoist Hongjun, you can say he is black, say he is bad, but you have to admit his strength.

That is an existence that even killed "Luo Pangu"!

Disliking the other party's morality and listening to the other party's Great Dao are not contradictory.

Take its essence, remove its dross!

What's more, Hongjun was caught by the Heavenly Emperor.

Now Hongjun is giving them benefits, which is essentially the Heavenly Emperor giving them benefits.

Then as members of the Heavenly Dao Academy, what reason do they have to refuse?

After the scene quieted down, 【Daoist Hongjun】 officially started lecturing.

"The Dao has no name, the Dao is not unclear, call it big, it can be passing, call it passing; it can be far, call it far; it can be big, call it big. Therefore it is called: Heaven is big, Earth is big, Man is also big..."

The guests of the Lady Zi Xiao Palace were all Great Beings.

Therefore, 【Daoist Hongjun】 lectured on the Dao, standing high and looking far, starting from top to bottom.

Starting from the true essence of the Dao, starting from the origin of the Dao; every word was a pearl, every sentence was a truth, speaking of where the Dao comes from, and speaking of where the Dao goes.

Then, starting from the origin of the Dao, lecturing on the three thousand Great Daos, speaking of time, speaking of space, speaking of creation, speaking of Yin and Yang, speaking of karma... The three thousand Great Daos started from one and evolved infinitely.

Finally, the Dao Ancestor started to lecture on the Law; this is the Dao Law.

Lecturing on the method of participating in the Dao, lecturing on the method of understanding the Dao, lecturing on the method of realizing the Dao, lecturing on the method of entering the Dao...

The lectures on the Dao lasted for nine hundred years, and for nine hundred years, they only talked about the Great Dao and only lectured on the Dao Law.

【Daoist Hongjun】 lectured word by word, lecturing very slowly.

The deities recorded word by word, recording very carefully.

They listened quietly to 【Daoist Hongjun】 lecturing on the Dao, their spiritual platforms clear, their soul essence trembling.

The confusion of the Dao was suddenly opened today; their limbs and bones were extremely comfortable.

Many Great Beings who had not yet condensed the Great Luo Dao Fruit, following 【Daoist Hongjun】's lecture on the Dao, saw their Dao practice and cultivation grow, and their foundations were solid.

They even gradually touched the threshold of Great Luo, condensing the prototype of the Dao Fruit.

In the front row seats, Xiang Xuanqing was like sleeping and waking.

This time it was not only lecturing on the Dao with himself, but also gradually dismantling the true Hongjun's Great Dao using the identity of 【Daoist Hongjun】.

He listened quite seriously.

After Xiang Xuanqing, Yang Mei heard different things from 【Daoist Hongjun】's lecture on the Dao.

Hongjun might hide secrets from anyone, but he would not hide secrets from Yang Mei.

So whatever Hongjun knew, he knew.

He could actually not listen to this Dao.

However, this time listening to the Dao, Yang Mei heard a lot of new things.

While this made him feel confused, a terrifying thought rose in his heart.

【This Hongjun, could it be...】 Yang Mei's heart was filled with monstrous waves, but his expression remained unchanged.

His expression was always immersed.

After him, Taiwei Yuan Shi was focused, Tai Shang was sleepy, Yuchen's sword eyebrows stood up, his star eyes were bright;

Nv Wa closed her eyes, calm; Hearing Fu Xi Xi was happy, Zhen Yuan was joyful, Hong Yun and Kunpeng laughed endlessly.

Jie Yin's face was very miserable, Daoist Zhun Ti was smiling.

Many sages had different expressions and different gains.

However, everyone had a unified action—using the Heavenly Dao in their hands to record the corresponding Great Dao!

【We have so many improper Great Daos, you can lecture them all, and you still say you are not a benefit machine arranged by the Heavenly Emperor?】

Primordial sages, none of them were fools.

Everyone was almost certain that Daoist Hongjun was a benefit machine arranged by the Heavenly Emperor.

But seeing through it without saying it, after all, there was a righteous historian on the scene, so one had to pay attention to words and deeds.

Anyway, the current situation was not bad, no need to ask everything so clearly.

Deities, sometimes need to be a little confused.

This way everyone's face can be saved.

When 【Daoist Hongjun】 lectured on the Dao to the nine hundredth year, he stopped.

The Dao sound stopped, making the deities wake up from the state of realizing the Dao, like a hundred claws scratching the heart.

Fortunately, 【Daoist Hongjun】 said: "This lecture on the Dao lasted for a thousand years, the first nine hundred years I lectured; there is still one hundred years, everyone ask, I will answer."

Such intimate lecture service made the deities shout in their hearts: "The Heavenly Emperor is holy!"

Heavenly Dao brand lecture machine · Hongjun No. 1, is really easy to use!

"Dare to ask Principal Hong, where is the Dao of Great Luo?" A Taiyi deity asked the first question.

【Daoist Hongjun】 answered without thinking: "The Dao of Great Luo is in the original heart; if the original heart is clear, the Dao Fruit can be gathered, and Great Luo can be achieved!"

"How big the heart is, how big the Dao of Great Luo is."

The second Taiyi-level deity spoke:

"Does the Dao have high and low?"

【Daoist Hongjun】 said: "The Dao has no high or low, no strong or weak, no first or last. Everything depends on the Daoist!"

"How much is the Dao? Does the Dao have a limit?" Still the Taiyi deities.

【Daoist Hongjun】 answered: "The Great Dao is three thousand, the Dao has no limit!"

"What is karma?" This was asked by Jie Yin.

"The thought arises as the cause, the action is the result."

Ming He asked: "How to avoid karma."

【Daoist Hongjun】 spat out one word: "Kill!"

"What is Immortal, what is Demon?" This was asked by Pan Wang Laozu.

【Daoist Hongjun】 said: "Immortal is in unfettered, Demon is in overbearing."

"Dare to ask Principal Hong, how to attain Pangu?" Di Jun asked directly.

【Daoist Hongjun】 said: "This lecture on the Dao stops at the ordinary Great Luo level, the Pangu Great Luo attainment method will be lectured in the future."

Many Great Luo heard this and were a bit disappointed.

They also wanted to ask how Hong Pangu was transformed.

Thus, the Great Luo Supremes asked less, and the Taiyi deities asked more.

The opportunity was rare.

Everyone wanted to ask more.

Seeking the Great Dao cannot be done behind closed doors; there must be communication, interaction, and reference.

Within the scope of this lecture on the Dao, 【Daoist Hongjun】 knew everything and said everything.

Primordial deities, Myriad Worlds sages, whoever asked, 【Daoist Hongjun】 had an answer.

Unknowingly, a hundred years of time passed in a hurry.

"This lecture on the Dao ends here."

【Daoist Hongjun】 disappeared directly after speaking.

Although the deities were not satisfied, they didn't force it, instead they arched their hands: "Thank you, Principal Hong!"

On the high platform, clouds and mist rolled.

Heavenly Dao Hongjun reappeared, motionless, sitting like a mountain.

"Next, it is everyone's free communication time."

Vice Principal Hong finished lecturing on the Dao, Principal Xuan started to assign homework: "Everyone needs to use the Heavenly Dao in your hands, combined with the content of Principal Hong's lecture on the Dao, to write a complete Great Dao scripture about the Heavenly Dao."

"Finally, these scriptures need to be submitted to Principal Hong for review."

"This communication time is still one thousand years."

After speaking, Heavenly Emperor Xiang Xuanqing went offline and disappeared from the Lady Zi Xiao Palace.

With him pressing, the deities were afraid they wouldn't be able to let go.

After the two principals left, the deans of the major branches became active.

"What do you think is the purpose of the Heavenly Emperor asking us to submit Heavenly Dao scriptures?" A deity asked.

"Need to ask? Of course, it is to test our learning results." A deity answered without thinking.

"Wrong!"

Among the Ancestral Witches, Zhu Jiuyin spoke: "We said we would help Fellow Daoist Hongjun merge with the Dao."

"Since this Heavenly Dao scripture is to be reviewed by him, the purpose is also on merging with the Dao."

"Makes sense!"

The deities nodded.

Then, a strange thought suddenly rose in everyone's heart.

Hongjun lectured on the Dao to give them benefits, and after giving benefits, they needed to submit scriptures that could seal Hongjun.

Doesn't that mean, I help you suppress myself?

【Is this too crazy?】

【Could it be that Hongjun is really walking the path of merging with the Dao to attain Hunyuan?】

Due to the lack of the key information that the Heavenly Emperor and 【Daoist Hongjun】 were one, everyone guessed the cause and effect backward.

"I think everyone should not be too scattered; why don't we divide into a few large research groups, and then subdivide into small discussion groups, and finally integrate the research results, how about it?"

Kunpeng spoke actively.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng's words make sense."

So everyone contacted each other, and soon came up with a few large research groups and several small research groups.

The Chantian research group represented by Taiwei Yuan Shi mainly expounded the principles of the Heavenly Dao from various angles.

The Xuantian research group represented by Tai Shang, Tai Shang said that we should all be riddle-makers, learn to leave blanks, and stimulate everyone's imagination.

The Jietian research group represented by Yuchen Daojun, mainly focused on going against the sky, intercepting the Dao of Heaven for one's own use.

Hearing Fu Xi Xi's loose cultivator team and the Kunlun goddesses supported Nv Wa as the group leader.

Their research group originally wanted to be called "Jietian" (Robbing Heaven).

Later, thinking that this was not in line with the development requirements of the new era, they changed it to a simple "Chatting" research group.

Everyone had a tea party together and finalized the Heavenly Dao scriptures in idle talk.

"What should we call our discussion group?" Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, Jie Yin, and others agreed to form a group.

"Western discussion group, how about it?" Jie Yin proposed.

Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, and other Great Beings thought about it, everyone seemed to be Western deities, so no problem.

"Then let Fellow Daoist be the group leader." Hong Yun said.

Jie Yin shook his head: "Let Fellow Daoist be, after all, you entered the Lady Zi Xiao Palace first."

Hong Yun smiled: "How can it be argued like this?"

"We are all seekers of the Dao, naturally the one who attains first is the leader!"

Thus, Jie Yin became the research group leader.

"Fellow daoists, we gathered in the Lady Zi Xiao Palace this time for the future of the Primordial living beings, so let's call it the 'Tomorrow' discussion group, how about it?"

Zhun Ti gave a suggestion.

"Wonderful!" The deities praised.

Di Jun and Tai Yi pushed Kunpeng and said: "Fellow Daoist, be the group leader, okay?"

Kunpeng was overjoyed in his heart.

But on the surface, he was still humble: "Compared to fellow daoists, my talent is not enough to take on this important task, why not let Fellow Daoist Zhun Ti be."

"Okay."

Zhun Ti nodded and said without giving way: "Then I will lead our 'Tomorrow' research group!"

Kunpeng wanted to slap himself.

Besides the above large research groups, there were also some small research groups.

For example, the Dragon Clan's Meitian (Charm Heaven) research group.

"I think the Heavenly Dao is still charming!"

There was also the Qilin Clan's Gaitian (Change Heaven) research group.

The Metal Qilin said: "Our Qilin Clan's Son of Luck plan is itself an act of changing heaven and fate."

"Now that our clan is declining, it is exactly the time to change heaven and fate and revive!"

The Phoenix Clan's was the Luantian (Chaos Heaven) research group.

"The fire is flickering, the chaos is confusing, our mission in the new era is to make trouble!"

"Whether the Heavenly Dao is chaotic or not, the Phoenix has the final say!"

Yuan Huang quietly gave instructions.

Anyway, in the end, it was all harming Hongjun, she had no psychological burden at all.

"Clan leader, should we harm the Heavenly Court?" Zhu Que Shenjun asked.

Yuan Huang shook her head: "I am still working in the Heavenly Court, not to mention that the current Heavenly Emperor rules the world, who dares to mess around?"

"Understood." Zhu Que nodded.

"When the clan leader and the current one are no longer working, we can harm."

Yuan Huang added: "We have Great Dao oaths, we cannot personally intervene in the major events of the Primordial World."

Zhu Que nodded: "Understood, we can be gold medal investors; whoever becomes a rebel of the Heavenly Court, we will invest in whoever."

"I think we should form a Qitian (Deceive Heaven) research group." There were also Great Luo Supremes teaming up in the Myriad Worlds.

"In the future, it will be the era of the Supreme Heavenly Court governing the Primordial World with the help of the Heavenly Dao; if we don't know the method of deceiving heaven, it will be difficult to mix in the Primordial World."

"Makes sense!"

After everyone divided into research groups one after another, they divided into small discussion groups in threes and fives, gathered together, and exchanged results.

It can be said that the work efficiency of united and cooperative deities was extremely high.

There was no need for a thousand years; in just one year, some teams had already deduced the relevant Heavenly Dao scriptures to seven or eight out of ten.

"Should we send the scriptures for inspection next?"

The Ancestral Witches formed an Fantian (Anti-Heaven) research group.

"Then let me be the first to submit it to Principal Hong for review."

【Space Ancestral Witch】 Di Jiang opened his palm, turned a volume of scriptures into a stream of light, and sent it to the high platform.

This stream of light was shattered before it touched Hongjun.

"Unqualified?" Di Jiang frowned.

"Let us try!"

The Anti-Heaven research group submitted their results one by one, and without exception, they were all shattered.

"It seems it needs to be perfected."

The entire research group received Heavenly Dao feedback and found loopholes.

"So it can still be corrected?"

The deities became interested and handed the scriptures they had researched to Hongjun one after another.

Most of the scriptures were shattered directly.

Only a few volumes remained, turning into terrifying Heavenly Dao power.

"Is it the Three Pure Ones?"

Only to see the scriptures in the hands of the Three Pure Ones fly out, turning into three clear lights, merging into the Creation Jade Disk above Hongjun's head.

After the power of the Three Pure Ones circulated in his body according to some mysterious trajectory, it flowed out from his body surface again, finally forming a seemingly perfect, endless cycle of energy and laws.

The deities observed that Hongjun's aura had a sense of blurriness.

It was as if some strange things had been stuffed into his body, no longer as pure as before.

"Then we understand!"

The deities chuckled, knowing what to do next.

Next, everyone treated Hongjun as a Heavenly Dao modifier, constantly correcting the Heavenly Dao scriptures.

After repeated modifications, the deities' homework became more and more perfect, and the sealing effect became stronger and stronger.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

The power of the deities was like a tide, continuously pouring into the Creation Jade Disk, constantly strengthening the sealing power of the entire Lady Zi Xiao Palace, making it increasingly indestructible.

At this moment, the entire Lady Zi Xiao Palace seemed to have completely turned into a huge, burning, terrifying "Ten Thousand Dao Furnace" using the entire chaotic nothingness as fuel!

And Hongjun, who was imprisoned in the center of the furnace, was the medicinal pill—"Heavenly Dao Essence"—thrown into the furnace, waiting to be repeatedly tempered, forged, and molded into a brand-new form.

And Hongjun's image also became increasingly blurry.

"Hmph hmph, let you play Dao reversal, now it's reversed on yourself."

"Fellow daoist, you had better obediently merge with the Dao!"

"Your achievements, we will remember forever."

"After all, we have a righteous historian!"

The righteous historian Nv Wa wrote this in the History of Time: The Heavenly Emperor is wise, the deities are benevolent, and Hongjun is great.

The deities of heaven and earth, there are no bad gods, all are loyal and good.

Therefore, the first Lady Zi Xiao Palace Assembly was a united assembly, a glorious assembly, a victorious assembly!

In the future, we will move toward one victory after another!
