The Three Teachings Hold Up the Tripod
The Witch Clan retreated to the Netherworld, Hongjun's scheme failed, the Demon Race Clan disintegrated, and even the Demon Master Kunpeng fled with the Luo River Diagram and Book.
The Witch-Demon Wars were finally over.
After Nuwa Mending the Heavens, the Human Race developed rapidly and became the protagonist of the Primordial World.
The growth of the Human Race is in accordance with the will of Heavenly Dao and cannot be stopped.
The sages of the Primordial World Heavenly Secrets, through their divination of heavenly secrets, had long ago discerned the course of the universe.
They have all made their own plans.
Seeing this, the Three Teachings of the Mystic Sect also began to recruit disciples extensively in the Primordial World.
This laid the foundation for the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation the Gods.
The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is another great Tribulation of heaven and earth after the Witch-Demon Tribulation.
It involves a wide range of people, including Human Race, immortals, and Sage, none of whom can escape it.
The Interception Sect was said to attract countless immortals, making it a bustling place.
Under the Tribulation, all that could be done was to have the sect destroyed, all the immortals slaughtered, and even the Saint Tongtian himself was swallowed up in the Tribulation.
During the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation the Gods, the Fortune the Human Race was divided among the saints, and the treasure of the Human Race that controlled the Fortune of the Human Race — the Kongtong Seal —ultimately fell into the hands of the Sage.
At the Kunlun Mountain, Fuxi sensed the changes in heaven and earth and murmured to himself.
"Next, we just need to wait for the Human Race to flourish!"
Following the original Primordial World timeline, during the Covering the Heavens of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, Hongjun controlled the course of the Tribulation with an all-powerful hand. In the end, the Interception Sect was defeated, so he made the Three Pure Ones consume the Saint-Slaying Pill, thus making them his puppets.
This allowed Hongjun to completely complete the Heavenly Dao, thus gaining complete control over the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The entire Primordial World was under Hongjun's control.
"This Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is not only Hongjun's opportunity, but also my opportunity, Fuxi's!"
"The Tribulation is terrifying; let's see if Hongjun can withstand it!"
Fuxi remained calm and spoke slowly.
Chaos, within the Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun sat on the throne, while Laozi, Yuanshi, Zhunti, Jieyin, the two saints, sat upright on Meditation Cushion.
"The Witch-Demon War is over; you must all reflect on your own actions!"
"Now that all races are in decline, you, as Sage, must lend a helping hand and help them grow stronger!"
Hongjun lowered his eyelids, and his voice, which sounded like heavenly music, echoed in everyone's ears.
"Does the teacher mean that the disciples should take on apprentices and pass on the teachings?"
Laozi responded.
"Senior brother, since we have established our sect, it is natural for us to take on disciples and spread our teachings!" the Two Sages of the West replied.
Seeing this, Hongjun spoke again, "Alright, you may all step back."
Soon, all the saints departed.
Before long, the voices of the saints rang out in the sky above the Human Race.
"I am Yuanshi Chan Sect. Today, in accordance with Heavenly Dao Yuanshi Tianzun and to bring blessings to the Primordial World, I am opening a sermon in the Jade Void Palace. All those with profound roots and extraordinary talent are welcome to come!"
Somewhere in the Primordial World.
Upon hearing the voice, a man of Yongzhou build and with a kind face instantly sobered up.
"The Chan Sect has started accepting disciples?"
"No! No! It seems I have to go there first. When I heard Master Hongjun preach, I attained the Quasi-Sage realm. The Three Pure Ones are said to be the strongest below Hongjun, so they shouldn't be too far off!"
After saying this, the man said no more and quickly flew towards the Jade Void Palace.
This person was none other than the Daoist Randeng, one of the Three Thousand Red-Dust Guests from back then!
Immediately following, another voice resounded throughout the Primordial World.
"I am Tongtian, and now, in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, I will impart the Daoist Arts on Jin'ao Island. All living beings of the Primordial World are welcome to come and listen!"
"..."
Eight Sceneries Palace.
"Teacher, does our Taiji Sect not accept disciples?"
Xuandu looked at Laozi and asked.
"Everything in the world has a cause and effect cycle, and as a Sage, I must avoid being tainted by cause and effect!"
"But this is the teacher's order, and I cannot refuse."
"Xuandu, please go on my behalf regarding the matter of our Taiji Sect disciples!"
"Your disciple obeys!"
Upon hearing Laozi's words, Xuandu responded.
"By the way, remember to accept disciples only when the opportunity arises; you can't force it, nor can you accept disciples haphazardly."
"Disciple understands!"
On the other side, the Two Sages of the West.
"Brother, the master has already said that we should take on disciples. With the Three Pure Ones occupying the Eastern Realm, it seems there's no longer any opportunity for our Western Teachings."
No, no!
"Opportunities are seized by oneself. Our Western World has been severely damaged since the Dragon-Han Calamity. If we want to restore its former glory, we must go to the Eastern world to seize opportunities."
After hearing what Zhunti, Jieyin nodded secretly.
"A hundred years from now, you will lead us Western Teachings to the Eastern world to widely spread Buddhism, thereby increasing the Fortune of our Western Paradise."
"What my elder brother says is absolutely right."
A hundred years later.
The Three Teachings stood in a tripartite balance in the Primordial World.
The names of the Three Pure Ones resonated deeply with all the races of the Primordial World.
Therefore, Hongjun, as the teacher of Sages, gradually improved his reputation among all living beings.
"The Dao is the way that encompasses all things. The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao. It is the beginning of the boundless universe; the mother of all beginnings..."
"There is the ultimate mother of all things. Therefore, it is always without form, and one should observe its mystery through non-Tao; it is always with form, and one should observe its manifestation through non-Tao. These two arise from the same source but have different names; they are both called profound..."
Inside the Jade Void Palace, the sounds of Daoism lingered, and golden lotuses floated above the heads of all those seated, with spiritual energy condensing into flowers all around.
Jin'ao Island.
Because anyone can come and listen to the teachings of Tongtian, in just a hundred years, the entire Jin'ao Island has become overcrowded.
Great demons and Human Race are everywhere.
On the contrary, Laozi sat in front of the alchemy furnace in the Eight Sceneries Palace, neither listening nor asking questions.
Xuandu traveled throughout Primordial World primordial world, teaching the Taiji Sect Daoist Arts, and the Taiji Sect tradition has been preserved in many places.
Inside the Zixiao Palace.
"It's time to reshape the order of heaven and earth!" Hongjun closed his eyes slightly, and spent the last hundred years traveling through the Primordial World in his spirit.
Satisfied with what the saints had done, Xiao Shi'en once again gained the Mystic Sect's trust among the myriad races of the Primordial World.
"Haotian, where is the Yaochi?"
The next moment.
Two figures appeared; they were the two Daoist boys behind Hongjun.
"Disciple is here!"
"You have followed me for countless Yuanhui. Now the Demon Court has been destroyed, but the Three Realms cannot be without a leader. Are you two willing to go?"
"Us!?"
Upon hearing Hongjun's words, the two showed a hint of surprise. They were merely minor Daoist disciples, yet he was asking them to become the rulers of the Three Realms!
Why wouldn't you?
"Yes! This disciple will follow Master's instructions."
"Very well, you will all follow me!"
The next moment, the three of them appeared directly on the Thirty-Three Heavens.
At the same time, many powerful beings in the Primordial World also sensed Hongjun's aura and rushed over.
"Teacher, the Demon Court is already in such a state, perhaps we should..."
During the reign of Di Jun, the Demon Court was plundered by the masses, and now the Demon Court is dilapidated, with broken walls and ruins everywhere.
However, before Haotian could finish speaking...
The once dilapidated Demon Court suddenly rose up.
The sky was shrouded in lingering sunset glow, divine birds circled around, and a qilin carried a head on its back; the Demon Court was recovering at a visible speed.
"Boom!"
The Primordial World Heavenly Emperor—everyone looked up at him.
A sound like thunder came from the unseen depths of the clouds.
Then, streaks of colorful clouds fell, seven-colored divine light shone on the earth, and countless lotus flowers of Dao Rhymes were scattered.
Auspicious omens descended from the heavens, as if by divine intervention.
"The Demon Court has been destroyed, Primordial World cannot be left without a Control. Therefore, the Demon Court will be renamed the Heavenly Court, and Haotian and Yaochi will be appointed as its rulers to Control the order of the Primordial World Heavenly Court."
A moment later, Hongjun's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"I am guided by the Heavenly Dao, in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, and will become one with the Heavenly Dao!"
Before anyone could react, Hongjun's voice fell again.
Immediately, all the powerful beings in the Primordial World showed expressions of shock.
Wuzhuang Temple, Longevity Mountain.
"Interesting. In the Primordial World, the sects of the Three Pure Ones flourished, Primordial World and beings thrived. What ability does Haotian Yaochi have to manage everyone?"
At this moment, Hong Yun shook her head and smiled helplessly.
This job is no easy task; there are no rewards for doing it well, and if you do it poorly, you'll get into a lot of trouble.
Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Hong Yun, with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun merging with the Heavenly Dao, I fear there will be even more unforeseen events in the prehistoric Primordial World in the future."
Hong Yun smiled, a hint of mockery on her face.
"An unexpected turn of events? If something unexpected happens, wouldn't that suit some people's wishes even better?"
This is not just empty talk.
This can be understood simply by looking at how those Sages seized the opportunity to divide up the Fortune.
