At the same time, the Primordial Continent was in complete chaos.
While many powerful figures were listening to the Dao in Zixiao Palace, the Demon Clan expanded wildly.
The rare period of peace after the Dragon-Han Calamity was shattered at this moment, and the flames of war reignited, engulfing the land.
Countless small tribes of the Primordial Continent trembled under the expansion of the Demon Clan, either being ruthlessly annexed or directly turned into dust, their bodies and souls destroyed.
Inside Zixiao Palace, Hongjun looked at the crowd.
Confirming that no one remembered the scene just now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The price he paid this time was not small.
Although he only temporarily borrowed the authority of the Heavenly Dao, a corner of his Primordial Spirit was still forcibly occupied by the Heavenly Dao.
He didn't expect that Qin Xuan wouldn't come to listen to the Dao, and even a seemingly foolish Zhurong could cause such a big mess.
It almost completely ruined his years of planning.
He glanced deeply at Hou Tu, and then slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Now that the Heavenly Dao is flawed and the Primordial Chaos is out of order, I am willing to find two people to assist in managing the Primordial Continent in order to smooth out the order of Yin and Yang."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was moved, and their eyes flashed with anticipation and desire.
This is managing the Primordial Continent!
What great authority and fortune this is!
Yuanshi even raised his head slightly, with a hint of arrogance in his expression.
Looking at the entire Zixiao Palace, his background is the highest, and he is the only powerful figure who has entered the Quasi-Saint realm. Who else but him can take on the important task of managing the Primordial Continent?
Under the eager gazes of everyone, Hongjun spoke again:
"Duke Dong, you are the embodiment of the first ray of innate pure Yang energy in the Primordial Chaos, and you possess great fortune."
"I bestow upon you five Innate Spiritual Treasures: the Dragon Head Staff, the Southern Off-Earth Flame Light Flag, the Wind-Fire Prayer Mat, the Heart-Piercing Lock, and the Violet Thunder Hammer, and I decree that you manage the affairs of the male immortals of the Primordial Continent on my behalf!"
"Queen Mother of the West, you are the embodiment of the first ray of innate pure Yin energy, and you also possess great fortune."
"I bestow upon you five Innate Spiritual Treasures: the Golden Phoenix Hairpin, the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, the Western Plain Cloud Banner, the Eight Treasure Glazed Vase, and the Limitless Bracelet, and I decree that you manage the affairs of the female immortals of the Primordial Continent on my behalf!"
As the voice fell, ripples appeared in the void in front of Hongjun. Immediately afterwards, ten Innate Spiritual Treasures with colorful streamers appeared out of thin air.
Each one contained vast Dao rhymes, causing the hearts of all the powerful figures present to beat a little faster, and their breathing became rapid.
Then, these ten Innate Spiritual Treasures turned into dazzling streamers and fell in front of Duke Dong and Queen Mother of the West, who were standing there in a daze.
Seeing this scene, the room instantly boiled!
A full ten Innate Spiritual Treasures!
These are Innate Spiritual Treasures!
Many of the powerful figures present had lived for countless years, and had never even owned a decent Innate Spiritual Treasure.
What's more, to receive ten in one breath, and bestowed by the Dao Ancestor himself!
Everyone looked at Duke Dong and Queen Mother of the West with undisguised envy and shock.
As for Jieyin and Zhunti, they stared at the ten radiant spiritual treasures.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they swallowed hard, wishing they could rush up and snatch them all.
Their West is barren. Even if all the spiritual treasures of the entire West were added together, they would probably not be as valuable as these ten Innate Spiritual Treasures!
Duke Dong held the five Innate Spiritual Treasures in front of him with both hands, trembling with excitement.
No longer caring about anything else, he immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him loudly:
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for your generous gift! This disciple will definitely live up to your trust and wholeheartedly manage the male immortals of the Primordial Continent in order to smooth out the order of the Primordial Chaos!"
Although Queen Mother of the West did not lose her composure like Duke Dong, she also respectfully accepted the five spiritual treasures and bowed gracefully to Hongjun:
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for your love. This disciple, Queen Mother of the West, will do her best to manage the female immortals of the Primordial Continent."
Hongjun nodded with satisfaction, a meaningful look flashing in his eyes.
Seeing that the Dao Ancestor finally chose Duke Dong and Queen Mother of the West, Yuanshi's originally expectant mood instantly cooled down. He opened his mouth and asked:
"Dao Ancestor! We, the Three Pure Ones, are transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit and inherit the Merits of Creation. The Primordial Continent should be managed by us, the Three Pure Ones, in order to conform to the Heavenly Principles and the Great Dao!"
Before Hongjun could speak, Duke Dong on the side became a little anxious.
He was afraid that Hongjun would change his mind, and his expression changed as he sternly shouted at Yuanshi:
"Yuanshi, what do you mean by this?!"
"Do you want to disobey the Dao Ancestor's decree?"
The atmosphere in the room instantly became a little tense.
Hongjun slowly raised his hand, signaling Duke Dong and Yuanshi to stop arguing.
His deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate countless years into the future, and his tone was calm but with an unquestionable majesty:
"Everything is predestined!"
"After one Era Cycle, I will begin the third lecture. This time, I will lecture on the Dao of the Saint!"
As the words fell, Hongjun's figure began to gradually become illusory.
"After this lecture, you may all disperse."
With the last plain words, Hongjun's figure completely disappeared within Zixiao Palace.
After Hongjun left, the oppressive atmosphere instantly dissipated.
Many male and female immortals who had long seen the situation clearly immediately gathered around Duke Dong and the Queen Mother of the West.
They showered them with flattery and praise, their words full of compliments and attempts to curry favor, hoping to gain a place in the hearts of the leaders of the male and female immortals.
Duke Dong, holding five Innate Spiritual Treasures, was surrounded by the crowd like a moon surrounded by stars. Enjoying unprecedented adulation, he was even more elated, as if he had already ascended the throne of the Primordial Continent.
He turned his head to look at the Queen Mother of the West and said, "Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, would you be willing to move to my dojo for a discussion on how to manage these male and female immortals of the Primordial Continent?"
The Queen Mother of the West pondered slightly, then nodded and said, "Good!"
Afterward, the two left Zixiao Palace surrounded by many male and female immortals.
At this time, Hou Tu, alone, also followed the crowd out of Zixiao Palace.
Outside Zixiao Palace, the eleven Ancestral Witches, who had been thrown out of Zixiao Palace by Hongjun, were waiting anxiously.
At that time, their minds were dizzy, and they only remembered that Yuanshi seemed to have broken through to Quasi-Sage, and then they were pushed out of Zixiao Palace by an irresistible force.
Now, seeing many powerful figures leaving one after another, but still not seeing their younger sister Hou Tu, they became even more anxious.
One by one, they grabbed people and asked if they had seen Hou Tu.
Meanwhile, Qin Xuan, who was rushing towards Zixiao Palace in the Chaos Sea, suddenly felt an inexplicable jump in his heart.
A fragment of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure engraved with complex patterns in his arms was slightly hot.
He probed with his divine sense, and the next moment, Xuan Ming's clear and slightly urgent voice exploded in his mind:
"Qin Xuan! Hou Tu has been taken hostage by Yuanshi, just outside Zixiao Palace!"
"What?"
Qin Xuan only felt an uncontrollable surge of anger instantly rushing from the bottom of his heart to the top of his head!
"Stall them, I'll be there soon!"
He didn't have time to ask the details, and without thinking, he directly took out the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler that he had been nurturing in his body!
As soon as this foot-long ruler appeared, it emitted a faint golden light of merit.
"It is said that this ruler kills without incurring karma?"
"Very good!"
"Yuanshi?!"
"Today, I will see if it can cut down your so-called Pangu Primordial Spirit!"
He no longer hesitated, his figure flashed, and his whole person turned into a stream of light, his speed suddenly increased by more than a hundred times, and he sped towards Zixiao Palace!
