He had originally intended to observe in secret and test everyone, but he had not expected the Twelve Ancestral Witches to be this formidable.
If the Twelve Ancestral Witches had possessed primordial spirits, he would have wanted to take them as disciples.
However, he knew that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had merely been formed from Pangu's twelve drops of Essence Blood. They would not amount to much.
The most important ones were still the Three Pure Ones. They had been formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. After observing them in secret for ten thousand years since they attained the Dao, he had finally decided to accept them as disciples.
"No clamor within Purple Cloud Palace." Hongjun's voice rang in everyone's minds. This was Dao Sound, capable of striking directly at the soul.
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!" Everyone bowed respectfully, including the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
A Saint could not be insulted. Even the Three Pure Ones did not dare act recklessly. Otherwise, should a Saint become enraged, the world would fall into chaos.
"I did not consider this thoroughly. Add another six meditation cushions." With a wave of Hongjun's hand, six more meditation cushions appeared on the ground.
However, no one dared to seize them outright this time. They merely waited quietly for Hongjun to assign them.
Di Jun and Tai Yi were brimming with confidence. The two had been born from the Sun Star and were bolstered by Innate Supreme Treasures. In terms of status, they ranked second only to the Three Pure Ones.
"Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, you three were formed from Great God Pangu's primordial spirit. These three seats belong to you." Hongjun called upon the Three Pure Ones first.
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor." The Three Pure Ones remained neither elated nor disturbed, as though they had expected it all along.
