Hongjun: Where Did It Go Wrong?

Within the chaos, none of the Daos existed.

There was no time, no space, no laws of the Great Dao!

The radiant sphere containing the Ancestral Witches was like a tiny world, smashing apart countless chaotic currents as Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin followed the faint sensation in their hearts, traveling through the boundless chaos...

No one knew how long had passed.

Then Dijiang's voice suddenly rang out beside them:

"We're here!"

Wu Tian abruptly woke.

He withdrew from his cultivation!

After an indeterminate period of comprehension, nourished by the many laws, the inscriptions of law upon Wu Tian's divine soul had improved once more.

He made a rough estimate.

The gains from this period alone were even greater than from the three drops of Essence Blood of the Primordial Dragon he had refined.

The law inscriptions had reached at least twenty percent!

After all, all twelve Ancestral Witches had acted together. Only while traveling like this could Wu Tian have such an opportunity. How could that be possible back in the Primordial Wilderness?

It was not that the Ancestral Witches were unwilling.

Rather, they simply lacked the patience!

He settled the laws within himself. His Primal Spirit retreated into his spiritual platform, and the Primordial Measuring Sky Ruler entered his Primal Spirit as well, suppressing Wu Tian's heavenly secrets and fortune...

Wu Tian slowly opened his eyes.

"This is Zixiao Palace?"

He gazed at the sight before him in surprise.

The boundless chaos had originally been filled with countless wildly surging chaotic currents, yet now an enormous expanse of blankness appeared before them!

It resembled a world of heaven and earth.

Zixiao Palace stood alone at its center.

It was incomparably simple, yet it gave off a faint precious radiance. Endless Dao Resonance flowed from Zixiao Palace, brewing countless strange phenomena around it.

Under the pressure of such an aura, even the Primordial Chaos Qi was kept at bay...

Wu Tian looked around, but did not see a single figure. The gates of Zixiao Palace were still shut as well; it seemed no one had arrived yet!

At that moment, Dijiang said with some satisfaction:

"Well?"

"Big Brother didn't lie to you, did I? We definitely got here ahead of everyone else and didn't delay your plans..."

Wu Tian smiled and nodded.

Just as he was about to say something to flatter Dijiang, his vision suddenly blurred. Three figures flew out from the chaos to one side and, without the slightest hesitation, charged toward Zixiao Palace...

Of the three, one was an old man, one middle-aged, and the last a handsome, striking young man.

Wu Tian's heart stirred.

Were these not Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Tongtian?

He had never met the Three Pure Ones before, but when Dijiang and the others had slaughtered Ferocious Beasts in the Primordial Wilderness and reaped the benefits left by the three clans, they had already encountered the Three Pure Ones.

His gaze instantly sharpened as he cried out:

"The Three Pure Ones!"

The Three Pure Ones were also of the Orthodox Pangu Lineage, but unlike the Ancestral Witches, who had been born from Pangu's essence blood and tainted by dense Killing Intent at birth, the Three Pure Ones had been formed from the three portions of Pangu's Primal Spirit!

Logically speaking, they shared some ties, yet in their previous encounters, the twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones had each found the other displeasing...

The Three Pure Ones despised the twelve Ancestral Witches for being too crude.

Their bodies brimmed with Killing Intent, and they were hot-tempered and warlike in all they did!

The twelve Ancestral Witches, meanwhile, felt that since they were all of the Orthodox Pangu Lineage, what were these people putting on airs for? How dare they look down on them?

Now that the Three Pure Ones had appeared, Dijiang's competitive spirit immediately flared up!

He called softly to Zhu Jiuyin, and the Law of Space and Law of Time surrounding the Ancestral Witches instantly surged. Their already swift speed abruptly increased.

They actually intended to reach Zixiao Palace before the Three Pure Ones!

Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Tongtian also spotted the Ancestral Witches, and curiosity rose in their hearts as well:

"These twelve Ancestral Witches are arrogant and conceited..."

"They actually all came to hear Hongjun expound the Dao?"

At the same time, the three of them's gazes flickered as they noticed Wu Tian surrounded at the center of the Ancestral Witches. Curiosity immediately appeared in their eyes:

"Eh..."

"Who is this person?"

"Could he be from the Witch Clan as well?"

Separated by the dense Law of Space and Law of Time, they could not make out Wu Tian's exact circumstances. Yet at a glance, they could see the difference between Wu Tian and the Ancestral Witches!

Though thoughts churned in their hearts, the Three Pure Ones did not slow in the slightest. Their auras were linked together, as though they were one body, and they sped toward the gates of Zixiao Palace...

Once they entered the area suppressed by Zixiao Palace, the surrounding Chaos qi instantly cleared!

The Three Pure Ones quickly sensed the change here as well. Within Chaos, all paths were absent. No matter what anyone did in Chaos, they could only consume their own power, with no way to replenish it from the outside world...

But what puzzled the three of them was that

this place was actually just like the Primordial World!

It was as though the power of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao had stretched here, carving out a tiny world within Chaos.

With ambient qi replenishing them from outside, the Three Pure Ones accelerated once more!

Whoosh!

They closed in on Zixiao Palace even faster.

But Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin felt something different. After entering the area enveloped by Zixiao Palace's aura, their previously rapid speed suddenly plummeted!

The Ancestral Witches were like men trapped in a swamp.

The closer they drew to Zixiao Palace, the slower they became!

"Hmm?"

"What's going on?"

Wu Tian froze for a moment.

Then he looked thoughtfully in the direction of Zixiao Palace...

What was this?

The lecture had not even begun, yet Hongjun was already resorting to tricks?

Surprise rose in Wu Tian's heart.

Then he could only watch helplessly as the Three Pure Ones disappeared into Zixiao Palace. Not only that, but two more figures shot out from Chaos, overtaking the Ancestral Witches as well...

The two were a man and a woman.

They were none other than the siblings Fuxi and Nüwa!

Just like the Three Pure Ones, the moment they entered the region enveloped by Zixiao Palace's aura, Chaos's oppression instantly vanished, and their speed increased by several more degrees.

As they watched figures enter one after another, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin furrowed their brows!

Fury had already appeared on their faces as they stared coldly toward Zixiao Palace, looking ready to erupt at any moment...

How could they not know

that they were being singled out?

"That old bastard Hongjun..."

Dijiang could not stop himself from nearly bursting into curses.

Though he did not care about the opportunity Wu Tian had mentioned, he had already boasted before his little brother. Now, at the very last step, they were being targeted—how could he not be utterly displeased?

Wu Tian hurriedly spoke up to interrupt him:

"Brother, don't be hasty!"

"Let's enter Zixiao Palace first..."

Here, Zixiao Palace suppressed Chaos and was connected to the Heavenly Dao, with the Heavenly Dao's power running through this entire space.

Strictly speaking, this was Hongjun's territory!

If they suddenly caused a disturbance, they might not come away with any advantage...

Naturally, Wu Tian had to dissuade the Ancestral Witches. But it was not as though he had gained nothing either. At the very least, he now knew one thing:

There was something wrong with the seating in Zixiao Palace.

It was not determined entirely by fate.

It was Hongjun's arrangement!

Otherwise, why would Hongjun secretly intervene to block the Ancestral Witches, not daring to let them enter early?

If the Ancestral Witches had gone in first—

Forget six seats...

Even if there were six more, they would all be filled!

The claim that the Prayer Mats represented an opportunity to become saints would become utter nonsense...

In truth.

Deep within Zixiao Palace at that moment.

Hongjun watched the scene outside with dark, unfathomable eyes, astonishment filling his heart. He could not understand it either:

Why was this different from what the heavenly secrets had revealed? Why had all Twelve Ancestral Witches come?

And so early, at that?

After he became a saint, his deductions of the heavenly secrets had clearly shown that only the two Ancestral Witches, Xuan Ming and Houtu, would come to hear the Dao!

"Where exactly did something go wrong?"

Hongjun was deeply puzzled.
