the gods, absorbed in “academic breakthroughs” and “script revisions,” forgot meals and sleep—like a white horse passing through a crevice, yet as if enduring ten thousand eons of change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the high dais, the Dao of Hong Jun had undergone a cataclysmic transformation: no longer the cold, lifeless void of before, nor the gentle benevolence of “Hong Jun Dao Ren” when he taught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it had become intricate and profound as a kaleidoscope, subtly radiating a harmony meticulously sculpted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless law-chains, forged from the collective wills of the gods’ Dao, wove around him like dense spiderwebs, becoming inseparable parts of his new “Body of Heaven’s Dao,” jointly constructing a fresh, more perfected Heavenly Dao system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Zi Xiao Palace, an unprecedentedly potent Dao rhythm permeated the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the residue left by the interweaving and mutual validation of the Three Thousand Daos, the essence crystallized from countless divine wisdom sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Tai Yi cultivators, those just a thread’s breadth from the Great Luo Dao Fruit, through this thousand-year “academic seminar” and “script composition,” absorbed the atmosphere, their spiritual senses clarified, achieving unprecedented depth in understanding and insight into their own Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They witnessed firsthand how the top Great Luo Sovereigns of each research group analyzed the Dao, organized the laws, extracted true meaning from chaotic “Dao-Reversal Body” samples, and skillfully integrated their own Dao into the grand framework of Heaven’s Dao operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This immersive observation and practice far surpassed the effects of solitary cultivation over hundreds of millions of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every detail, every flow of Dao rhythm, every collision of law, rang like a great bronze bell—deafening, piercing straight to the Dao’s origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, as the Heavenly Dao scriptures written by each research group reached perfection through repeated “interactive revisions” with “Hong Jun,” they resonated profoundly with the hidden truth of the Heavenly Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottleneck that had plagued them for countless eons shattered like stone struck by spring thunder—suddenly, clarity opened wide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Tai Yi spirit, once a reclusive cultivator with no fame, but who had offered brilliant insights in the “Chatting” research group, suddenly saw his aura surge violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above his head, a phantom Dao flower slowly coalesced, shifting from void to reality, dazzlingly radiant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Luo Dao Fruit—achieved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, Qian Yang Daoist!” Fuxi bowed, offering his congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Qian Yang Zhenren, an Eastern reclusive cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Ten Directions Divine Palace would now gain another great general!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All members of the research group joined in congratulating: “Congratulations, Daoist, on attaining Great Luo—now transcending time and space, eternally imperishable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same to you, same to you!” Qian Yang Zhenren tried to remain calm, but his perpetually upturned lips betrayed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Qian Yang Zhenren’s breakthrough triggered a chain reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Tai Yi cultivator, diligent in the “Chan Tian” research group, assisting Yuan Shi Tianzun in organizing order laws, suddenly felt something stir and sat cross-legged in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his eyes shot two golden beams, each a foot long, as if piercing illusions to see the very source of law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind his head, a Dao wheel inscribed with countless precise runes slowly rotated, surging with overwhelming law-force, radiating a stern yet harmonious force of order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hng!” “Ha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his mouth and nose exhaled yellow and white qi, instantly producing two thunderous sounds echoing through the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zi Xiao Palace, the divine beings who understood the meaning of the Three Sounds of Creation stared in astonishment at this cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, Du E Daoist, on attaining Great Luo—gaining great freedom, great ease!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside [Yuan Shi Tianzun], Guang Chengzi stepped forward first, loudly offering his congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All hundreds of divine beings in the “Chan Tian” research group rejoiced for Du E Zhenren, joining in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du E Zhenren humbly said: “My success in forming the Dao Fruit is entirely due to everyone’s efforts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without your unreserved exchanges of Dao truths, I might never have pierced the Great Luo path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du E secured the substance, yet still honored everyone’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An atmosphere of “you good, I good” instantly filled the entire research group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re inclined, you may settle in my Eastern Kunlun,” said [Yuan Shi Tianzun], extending an olive branch to Du E Zhenren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then added to the group: “If any of you wish, you may also settle on Kunlun Mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianzun declared: “The blessed lands belong to those of virtue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Eastern Kunlun is vast—beyond the main peak Yu Xu, all other mountain ranges are available to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du E Zhenren, upon hearing this, was overwhelmed with honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The research group members, upon hearing this, were filled with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Daoist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was delighted by the Tianzun’s magnanimity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the phrase “those of virtue” was also heard clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But did anyone panic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who among the divine beings who entered the Zi Xiao Palace wasn’t a being of virtue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could question it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who dared question it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, martial virtue is also virtue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in Tai Shang’s “Xuan Tian” research group, Yu Chen’s “Jie Tian” group, Jie Yin’s “Xi Tian” group, and Zhun Ti’s “Ming Tian” group—every small research and discussion group saw cultivators break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zi Xiao Palace, exclamations of joy rose and fell without end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, Great Luo auras—some tyrannical and overwhelming, some ethereal and transcendent, some heavy as mountains, some agile as water—rose into the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These auras interwove in the void, forming dazzling Dao-rhythm auroras, transforming the entire palace into a sacred hall where myriad Daos converged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half an hour, nearly a hundred Tai Yi cultivators, through this unique gathering, suddenly awakened and successfully formed their Great Luo Dao Fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This number left every divine being present stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For any Great Luo Sovereign in the Hong Huang was a supreme being capable of founding sects and suppressing regional destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, one might emerge only after several Yuan Hui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, like spring bamboo shoots after rain, they were being “mass-produced” within the Zi Xiao Palace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the fortune of our Heavenly Dao Academy—and the fortune of Hong Huang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top Sovereigns who had long since attained Great Luo, especially the deans of each branch academy, nodded in approval, their eyes filled with sincere joy and satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The righteous historian Nv Wa, witnessing this, brushed her ink and recorded: This was not merely their small step—but a giant leap for Hong Huang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not merely personal breakthrough—it was a tremendous enhancement of Hong Huang’s collective strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also indirectly affirmed the extraordinary significance of this Zi Xiao Palace assembly and the profound insight of Tai Wei Tian Di.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Nv Wa, [Dan Xiao Shen Nü] Ying Long and [Qing Xiao Shen Nü] Nv Qing saw her record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They thought: “No wonder the past history of Tai Wei Yuan was so glorious and radiant—I must learn this advanced experience. When I return to the Dragon Clan (You Ming), I must accelerate revising our Clan’s chronicles!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the joy of breakthroughs and the overwhelming auras of the newly attained Great Lous had not yet settled…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of light appeared within the Zi Xiao Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure of Tian Di Xuan Qing reappeared silently, as calm and detached as ever, yet radiating undeniable authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over the gods, especially the newly attained Great Luo Jin Xians, revealing a hint of approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned to Hong Jun atop the dais, a satisfied smile touching his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Dao friends, your thousand years of study have yielded remarkable results—I am deeply pleased.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Qing’s voice echoed clearly and gently through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods, returning from their insights and joy, bowed in unison to Xuan Qing: “All thanks to Tian Di’s wise leadership!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood: without Tian Di’s initiative in founding the Hong Huang Heavenly Dao Academy, they could never have achieved such rapid progress and opportunity in so short a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The scriptures you have presented each contain profound subtleties, greatly aiding Hong Jun Daoist’s merging with the Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Qing said slowly, “Seeing your dedication and sacrifice, Hong Jun Daoist, who is now merging, will surely remember and never forget your kindness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods laughed: “No need to remember such details—we all did this for Hong Huang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be remembered by Hong Jun, who was about to merge, didn’t seem like a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better not be remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xuan Qing said: “This Academy exchange assembly has Yuanman  accomplished its merit. I intend to establish the Hong Huang Heavenly Dao Committee—to oversee the Academy’s operations and coordinate the Dao’s operation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly Dao Committee?” The gods, hearing this new term, all looked puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Qing nodded, “In the future, the operation of Hong Huang’s Heavenly Dao will no longer be decided solely by Hong Jun Daoist, nor by me alone—but jointly deliberated, coordinated, and managed by the Heavenly Dao Committee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the future, committee members must serve as the Dao’s ‘spokespersons’ and ‘executors,’ responsible for balancing and coordinating the operation of the Dao laws they represent with other laws, ensuring overall harmony and stability of Hong Huang and the myriad worlds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods’ eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was excellent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Qing continued: “The Heavenly Dao Committee will have seven permanent councilors and several rotating members.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among the seven permanent councilors, Tian Di holds one seat; the remaining six shall be selected from the deans of the major branch academies of the Heavenly Dao Academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods immediately understood: the six positions behind were crucial!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the deans of the Heavenly Dao Academy’s branch academies all smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teachers of each academy sighed and shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming to the Zi Xiao Palace, they had already assigned their roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that they didn’t want to be dean—they simply lacked the strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the gods, Kun Peng secretly rejoiced: “Good thing I hold multiple dean positions—I have a great advantage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Kun Peng, no one held multiple posts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So now, we must first select the six permanent councilors. Any suggestions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Qing fully respected the opinions of the divine beings, asking for their criteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kun Peng eagerly proposed: “Since Tian Di is one permanent councilor, the other six Heavenly Dao councilors must not be inferior—cultivation, destiny, merit, reputation, ability—all are indispensable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, this is reasonable,” the gods nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those worthy to be mentioned alongside the Heavenly Emperor cannot possibly be mediocre; otherwise, they would fail to command respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this standard, they must be Great Luo Sovereigns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All present who are not Great Luo, step back of your own accord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, we proceed with further screening. Hong Yun said: “Since this gathering is an academic exchange, and the Dao Council oversees the operation of the Academy, let us determine the successors according to academic standards—how does that sound?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to academic standards?” The gods pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yun nodded: “We shall use as the core criterion the quality of the ‘Dao Scripture’ texts submitted by each major research group over the past millennium, their contributions to perfecting the Dao, and their guiding significance for the future development of Hong Huang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In other words, the research group whose findings are most outstanding and most clearly reflect the correct direction of the Dao’s evolution shall have its lead researcher or representative granted the qualification to become a permanent councilor of the Dao Council, participating in the governance and decision-making of Hong Huang’s future Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you all think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, members of every research and discussion group within the Purple Cloud Palace instinctively turned to look at their respective group leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This method works too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, each group leader represents the collective interests of their members—they were chosen by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, everyone promptly nominated their own group leader as their representative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Three Pure Ones, Nv Wa, Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, Di Jiang, Zhu Que, Qing Long, Bai Hu, Zhen Wu, the Dark Demon God, Fusheng Xuan Huang Tian Zun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within and beyond Hong Huang, there were a total of thirty-three candidates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kun Peng retreated dejectedly to a corner and stood alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he deeply regretted his own modesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【If only I had been a little more confident, a little more decisive, the opportunity would have been greater!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kun Peng sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, how shall we evaluate which candidates’ research achievements are the best?” a spirit asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let Hong Jun, our fellow Daoist, make the selection,” the Heavenly Emperor said, his voice steady and methodical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must ask Hong Jun to use as the foundational criterion his ‘degree of absorption and integration’ and the ‘intensity of resonance and feedback’ toward each of your scriptures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, your scriptures ultimately serve to aid his union with the Dao; his ‘approval’ is paramount.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the gods all nodded—this standard was reasonable and fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How well Hong Jun “ate” and “digested” the scriptures they submitted was the most direct manifestation of their worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, please, Hong Jun Daoist, evaluate them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing waved his hand and distributed a stick of incense to each of the thirty-three candidates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, their expressions turned strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This doesn’t seem right…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, don’t stand there stunned—light your incense,” Xiang Xuanqing urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, thirty-three sticks of incense were lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thin tendrils of purple smoke drifted upward, surging toward Hong Jun and entirely absorbed by the Creation Jade Disc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods fixed their eyes on the high dais, their faces filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the dais, the phantom of Hong Jun’s Creation Jade Disc trembled slightly, emitting six most brilliant, pure, and vast strands of Hong Meng Purple Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These six strands of Hong Meng Purple Qi, as if possessing their own will, precisely locked onto six candidates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiang Xuanqing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He proclaimed loudly: “By the will of the Dao and the resonance of Hong Jun Daoist’s origin, the following six research groups’ representatives have emerged victorious in this grand election—they shall be favored by the Dao and entrusted with the weighty responsibility of sustaining Hong Huang’s future Dao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing’s voice rang like celestial decree, laden with supreme authority, announcing the final results word by word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first strand of Hong Meng Purple Qi, thickest and most dazzling, like the first ray of dawn after creation, descended directly onto the head of [Yuan Shi Tian Zun].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ‘Yuan Shi Kai Tian Chan Dao Lun’ presented by Lord Yu Qing points directly to the Dao’s origin, elucidates the ultimate truths of the Dao, and lays the most solid foundation for Hong Jun Daoist’s union with the Dao—he is worthy to be a permanent councilor of the Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After merging with the Hong Meng Purple Qi, [Yuan Shi Tian Zun]’s aura grew even more majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed respectfully: “Thank you, fellow Daoists; thank you, Heavenly Emperor; thank you, Dao Ancestor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the second strand of Hong Meng Purple Qi drifted down onto Tai Shang’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Tai Qing, your ‘Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian’ embodies the Dao of returning to simplicity and purity, providing the ‘stillness and emptiness’ foundation for Hong Jun Daoist’s union with the Dao, preventing the Dao’s operation from becoming too rigid and brittle, adding harmony and composure—your merit is great, and you are worthy to be a permanent councilor of the Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words ended, the second strand of Hong Meng Purple Qi merged into Tai Shang’s ancestral cavity between his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Shang’s aura grew increasingly ethereal and mysterious; behind his head, the image of the Tai Chi symbol appeared, black and white qi swirling, the Dao of Yin and Yang permeating the air, as if resonating in perfect sync with the breath of the entire universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a slight nod, bowing respectfully to Xiang Xuanqing and Hong Jun on the dais, his voice calm and unrippled yet brimming with supreme Daoic subtlety: “I accept this honor and shall offer my humble strength to assist the Dao’s operation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Xiang Xuanqing turned his gaze toward Yu Chen Dao Jun, his tone carrying a hint of admiration:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Shang Qing, your ‘Ling Bao Du Ren Wu Liang Zhang’ expounds the grand aspiration of seizing a thread of life, teaching without discrimination, and the potential for all beings to attain the Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This has infused Hong Jun Daoist’s union with the Dao with the sources of ‘change’ and ‘vitality,’ ensuring that beneath the Dao’s strict order, it retains its drive and inclusiveness, adding infinite possibilities—your merit cannot be overlooked; you are worthy to be a permanent councilor of the Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third strand of Hong Meng Purple Qi, equally flawless, carried a sharp, peerless sword intent yet secretly brimming with boundless life, piercing through the air and merging into Yu Chen Dao Jun’s crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZHENG ZHENG!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Chen Dao Jun’s sword qi surged into the heavens; the phantom images of the Four Sword of Annihilation flickered behind him, the fierce aura of slaughter and the compassionate intent of saving all beings mysteriously fused on his person, forming a unique Daoic resonance of transformation and transcendence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed aloud, bowing to Xiang Xuanqing and the dais: “I shall use the sword in my hand to carve out a thread of life for Hong Huang and protect all beings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Purple Cloud Palace, the gods, seeing the Three Pure Ones successfully elected, voiced no objection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were the True Lineage of Pan Gu, with profound cultivation and outstanding contributions—fully deserving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth strand of Hong Meng Purple Qi, gentle and full of vitality, like spring rain, descended precisely upon Nv Wa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing said: “Daoist Nv Wa, your ‘Map of Creation and Evolution of All Beings’ completed the critical link in the Dao’s operation regarding the reproduction of life and the creation of all things, endowing the Dao with greater vitality and compassion—your merit is immense, and you shall be a permanent councilor of the Dao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the Hong Meng Purple Qi, Nv Wa’s holy light grew even more radiant;
