Primordial Violet Qi Has Masters, Heaven-Ordained Saint Positions

Purple Sky Palace.

The Dao Ancestor's sermon had already delved deeply into the mysteries of the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal and the Path of the Sage. Even for Great Luo Supremes, this realm was unfamiliar and obscure.

Even so, they could only commit every word of the Dao Ancestor firmly to memory, engraving it in the deepest recesses of their minds to ponder slowly in the future.

Three Yuanhui passed in the blink of an eye. The Dao Ancestor ceased speaking and swept his gaze across all the Great Luo Supremes.

Some Great Luo Supremes seemed as though their souls had wandered from their bodies. They jolted awake at that moment, instinctively straightening their backs to receive the Dao Ancestor's scrutiny.

Forcing themselves to remember the contents of the Dao Ancestor's sermon had already drained much of their mental strength.

The Path of the Sage was manageable, but the mysteries concerning the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal belonged to "Nothingness," clashing with their realm of "Being."

They would not forget it instantly, but it was still difficult to retain, leaving them mentally exhausted.

Only a small number of Great Luo Supremes could gain some insight under such circumstances, including those seated on the Cushions, as well as Di Jun, Tai Yi, Fu Xi, Kunpeng, and the rest.

They were all among the foremost Innate Divine Saints.

The instant the Dao Ancestor stopped preaching, those Innate Divine Saints who had gained insight seemed to have strange auras stirring around them.

Strange and profound, seeming both present and absent, they made it impossible for the other Great Luo Supremes to accurately locate or grasp their auras.

This... was somewhat similar to the aura around the Dao Ancestor!

The Great Luo Supremes seemed to have thought of a certain possibility, and their minds shook violently.

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for granting us completion." Taiqing stood from his Cushion and bowed to the Dao Ancestor.

At the same time, Jade Pure Daoist and Upper Pure Daoist made the same gesture.

A Celebratory Cloud appeared above each of the three brothers' heads.

The Celebratory Clouds churned as the three brothers shouted together, "Sever!"

An invisible force transformed into a blade of will, hazy and mist-like as it slashed down.

The Celebratory Clouds rolled without cease. An Innate Spiritual Treasure flew out from each of the Three Pure Ones and crashed into the clouds.

The clouds swept around, vanishing into nothingness in an instant, only to reappear above the Three Pure Ones' heads in the next moment.

At this time, a seventy-year-old man sat serenely within Taiqing's Celebratory Cloud, tranquil and nonassertive, existing alongside the world.

The Celebratory Clouds above Jade Pure Daoist and Upper Pure Daoist also each revealed the Good Corpses they had severed.

Clearly, having first glimpsed the path of "Nothingness," they had taken the first step in Slaying Three Corpses.

Afterward, top-tier Innate Divine Saints such as Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, Di Jun, Tai Yi, Fu Xi, Kunpeng, Ming He, and Red Cloud also severed their own Good Corpses.

All of them carried the essence of "Nothingness" that had previously appeared only upon the Dao Ancestor.

If they were unwilling, the other Great Luo Supremes would find it difficult even to locate them. In severe cases, they would gradually forget their exact appearances, retaining only vague impressions.

They had already surpassed Da Luo and could now be called Quasi-Saints!

Hong Jun's gaze changed at last as he looked upon the Innate Divine Saints who had successfully severed their corpses. A trace of a smile appeared in his placid eyes.

"The three sermons have ended. My Great Dao is complete, and I shall integrate with the Heavenly Dao."

"However, my legacy requires inheritance, and I must accept three disciples."

Hong Jun's gaze fell upon the Three Pure Ones, making his meaning obvious.

Within the Primordial Wilderness, the Three Pure Ones were ultimately special.

"..." Taiqing was visibly reluctant, while his two younger brothers, led by him, also hesitated.

One reason was naturally their origins. They were the inheritors of Great God Pangu's will—how could they switch to another's lineage?

Yet this was the Dao Ancestor, and he was about to integrate with the Heavenly Dao... Both Jade Pure Daoist and Upper Pure Daoist were tempted.

With his immensely profound Dao Realm, Taiqing faintly sensed the Dao Ancestor's scheme, but he could not use that to persuade his two younger brothers.

Moreover, the Dao they cultivated differed completely from his own, so they could not comprehend it on their own.

Hong Jun said nothing, merely focusing his gaze upon Taiqing.

"Taiqing, are you willing to take me as your master?" The Dao Ancestor spoke, and the implications were different now.

Jade Pure and Upper Pure both looked toward Taiqing. The gazes of all the Great Luo Supremes and even the Quasi-Saints also gathered upon Taiqing.

"..." Taiqing sighed soundlessly, knowing that resistance was futile. He immediately lowered his head. "This disciple pays respects to Teacher."

"Good!" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Hong Jun's lips.

"Jade Pure, Upper Pure, are you two willing to take me as your master?" Hong Jun asked again.

Jade Pure Daoist and Upper Pure Daoist followed Taiqing in kneeling and bowing, formally entering Hongjun the Dao Ancestor's lineage.

"Dao Ancestor above! The West is barren. Only my senior brother and I struggled out of it, and it has truly been far too difficult!" Zhun Ti cried bitterly, tears streaming down his face, while Jie Yin remained prostrated on the ground.

This behavior caused all the Great Luo Supremes to cast sidelong glances. They were fellow Innate Divine Saints and now Great Luo Supremes—how could they still debase themselves to such a degree?!

"Good." Hong Jun sighed faintly as he looked toward the Western Primordial Wilderness, then turned to Jie Yin and Zhun Ti. "You two may become my registered disciples."

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were overjoyed. They hurriedly kowtowed and paid their respects, calling him Teacher.

The other Great Luo Supremes were tempted as well, but they ultimately could not cast aside their dignity. Besides, the Cushions made it clear that they likely lacked such fortune, so they could only give up.

Wait, the Cushions?

The Great Luo Supremes all noticed Nuwa, seated upon the first Cushion.

She had not reacted at all?

And she had not been among the Quasi-Saints who had severed their corpses earlier!

"Little sister?" Even Fu Xi, now a Quasi-Saint, could not help looking at Nuwa and asking.

Before listening to the sermon at Purple Sky Palace, Nuwa's Dao Realm had already been considered Great Luo Perfection. Why could she not take that final step?

Nuwa glanced at Fu Xi and slowly shook her head.

The expressions of many Great Luo Supremes shifted slightly.

The Dao Ancestor also ignored Nuwa and continued, "After I integrate with the Dao, the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao shall have opportunities for Sainthood. A Sage acts on behalf of Heaven, spreads the Dao throughout the Primordial Wilderness..."

"The opportunity has now arrived!"

The Dao Ancestor suddenly raised his hand and beckoned. The entire Primordial Wilderness shook violently as the myriad Daos between heaven and earth became tangible Order Divine Chains, piercing through all tangible things.

Within those dazzling Order Divine Chains, a vast and majestic will seemed to stir. Seven streams of violet-gold qi, like swimming dragons, appeared in the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"The so-called opportunity is Primordial Violet Qi. Those who obtain this opportunity may become Heavenly Dao Sages!"

Purple Sky Palace shook with a thunderous roar, both inside and out. The Great Luo Supremes within could no longer remain seated. Had the Dao Ancestor not been present, heaven and earth would surely have overturned and the River of Time flowed backward!

"Nuwa, you bear the merit of Creation of Humans. You should have a share of the Primordial Violet Qi."

A strand of violet qi flew from the Dao Ancestor's hand and landed in Nuwa's palm.

"So that was it." Nuwa gazed at the violet-gold qi circling around her like a swimming dragon, sighed softly, and reached out to take it.

"The Three Pure Ones are the will-inheritors chosen by Great God Pangu. They possess Heaven-Opening Merit and should have a share."

Three more strands of Primordial Violet Qi were distributed.

Only the final three remained...

The Great Luo Supremes had no hope left, but the newly advanced Quasi-Saints could no longer sit still.

"Teacher!" Zhun Ti began his performance once again.

"You two bear the fate of the West and should also have a share."

Only one remained.

"The Heavenly Dao leaves a thread of vitality. Go on your way."

The final strand of Primordial Violet Qi chose Red Cloud.

The masters of the Primordial Violet Qi had long been decided.
