Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression was indifferent. He glanced at Hongjun and Tongtian, not answering directly.
This was because after he made his choice, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Choice successful.]
[Reward: Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler!]
The Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler!
This was a top-tier treasure in the heavens and earth.
The Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler was also known as the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Merit Ruler.
In the past, Great God Pangu opened heaven and earth. The Great Dao bestowed the Merit of Heaven Opening. A portion of this merit merged with Pangu's Primordial Spirit, which had fallen on the Kunlun Mountains, and later transformed into the Pangu Three Pure Ones.
This was why the Three Pure Ones possessed the Merit of Heaven Opening from birth.
The remaining two portions of the Merit of Heaven Opening merged with two masses of Innate Profound Yellow Qi.
Innate Profound Yellow Qi was the most dense and domineering innate qi in the heavens and earth.
One mass of Innate Profound Yellow Qi, which merged with the Merit of Heaven Opening, inherited the density of the Innate Profound Yellow Qi and formed the origin of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, which was later obtained by Taiqing, the eldest of the Three Pure Ones.
Because it was born from the fusion with the Merit of Heaven Opening and was not formed innately, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was a Post-Natal Merit Supreme Treasure. Its power was comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure, and it was the foremost defensive supreme treasure.
The other mass of Innate Profound Yellow Qi, which merged with the Merit of Heaven Opening, inherited the domineering nature of the Innate Profound Yellow Qi and condensed into a golden long ruler, named the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Merit Ruler, which was this Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler.
This was the origin of the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler!
Because the Measuring Heaven Ruler, like the Exquisite Pagoda, was formed by the fusion of the Merit of Heaven Opening with Profound Yellow Qi.
Therefore, the grade and quality of the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler were in no way inferior to the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
The Measuring Heaven Ruler was also a Post-Natal Merit Supreme Treasure, one of the few in the Great Wilderness. Its power was comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure!
However, because the Measuring Heaven Ruler merged with the domineering characteristic of the Innate Profound Yellow Qi.
The function of the Measuring Heaven Ruler was the complete opposite of the Exquisite Pagoda.
If the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was the foremost defensive supreme treasure, then the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Merit Ruler was the foremost offensive supreme treasure!
This showed the preciousness of the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler.
Of course, this alone was not enough to make Primordial Lord, who had already become a Saint and possessed numerous magical treasures, so excited.
The reason for his excitement.
It was still because of special existences like the Chaos Pearl.
It could elevate Post-Natal magical treasures to Innate quality.
This Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler, a Post-Natal Merit Supreme Treasure, was already the foremost offensive supreme treasure. If it were promoted to an Innate Supreme Treasure, what power would it unleash?!
Primordial Lord felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Such a magical treasure could be used as a great killing weapon in the future!
Once deployed, even Saints would have to retreat!
However, he was currently in Purple Cloud Palace, and it was not the time to refine magical treasures.
Primordial Lord suppressed the excitement in his heart, his expression remaining indifferent, neither happy nor sad.
He looked at Hongjun and said calmly, "Teacher, that was in the past. Recently, I have been comprehending the Great Dao and have gained some enlightenment."
"I feel that all beings in the Great Wilderness were nurtured by heaven and earth. What distinction is there between noble and lowly?"
"My disciples in the Heavenly Origin Sect are beings, and the disciples of the Intercepting Sect are also beings. Mortals are also beings. Since they are all beings, why should there be distinctions of high and low, noble and lowly?"
"The only difference is in their origins."
"I have never disliked the disciples of the Intercepting Sect. What I dislike are only those with inferior origins. As for beings, there are no high or low, noble or lowly, let alone dislike."
So, his elder brother's change was due to his comprehension of the Great Dao.
Tongtian felt slightly relieved.
After all, Primordial Lord's change was too great, leaving him puzzled for a long time without an answer, which inevitably led him to overthink.
Now that he had found the answer, the doubts in his heart were completely resolved.
"Is this Primordial Lord's answer?"
Hongjun's brow twitched.
It seemed like there were no problems, but it was precisely this that made Hongjun puzzled.
In the past, Primordial Lord's dislike for the disciples of the Intercepting Sect was openly displayed, and he never spoke of the distinction between noble and lowly beings.
One must know that there were many exceptionally talented individuals in the Intercepting Sect.
For example, Zhao Gongming was formed from the first wisp of clear wind in the heavens and earth, with an innate origin and excellent talent, far superior to those Bearded and Horned Beings or Wet-born and Egg-born Creatures.
Yet, Primordial Lord still disliked him in the past.
Looking at it this way, the previous Primordial Lord was targeting the Intercepting Sect!
This current explanation was truly unsatisfactory to Hongjun.
But looking at Primordial Lord's indifferent expression, he already knew that even if he asked again today, Primordial Lord would definitely say: "I've comprehended, so I've let go of my prejudice."
Could it be that Primordial Lord truly achieved enlightenment and his inner prejudice was resolved?
He didn't ponder further and looked at the Three Pure Ones, "Since that's the case, the position of Sage Teacher will be decided by you three brothers."
Now that the Three Pure Ones were united against outsiders, he couldn't say much.
After all, Taishang Daode was good, and since the Human Race Sage Teacher position was settled, it was considered to be in accordance with Heaven's will.
Zhunti and Jieyin were stunned.
What did that mean?
Even the teacher didn't care anymore?!
Then would their Western Teachings really not get any benefits?
The two immediately panicked and quickly spoke, "Teacher..."
However, before their words could fall, Hongjun directly interrupted, "All of you, withdraw."
His voice was vast, like the divine sound of the Heavenly Dao, possessing immense Heavenly Dao power.
Zhunti and Jieyin, who wanted to say more, could only shut their mouths.
Especially when they saw Primordial Lord looking at them with a smile, they felt a chill down their spines.
Without further ado, they dejectedly left Purple Heaven Palace.
After all, among the Six Sages of the Heavens, they were the last to achieve sainthood.
They had even made forty-eight great vows to the Heavenly Dao, which they had not yet fulfilled.
Simply put, they had "loaned" their way to sainthood and still owed Merit to the Heavenly Dao.
Not only that, but the spiritual veins of the Western Teachings were barren, and there were few treasures to be nurtured, making the two of them like two paupers compared to the Three Pure Ones!
They couldn't win in a fight, and their strength was inferior.
Now, they didn't even get a chance to benefit from the Human Race's great prosperity, and the two felt even more dejected.
However, they did not give up. After walking out of the Purple Heaven Palace, they exchanged glances.
They had already made up their minds.
Their Western Teachings would absolutely not let this matter rest!
Even if the Human Race Sage Teacher position was settled, so what? Their Western Teachings would not agree!
As the five Sages left the Purple Heaven Palace.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's eyes were deep as he looked at Primordial Lord's retreating back, lost in thought.
"This Primordial Lord's change is too strange, it might be a major upheaval in the Great Wilderness."
His voice was indifferent, and his expression was devoid of any emotion.
At this moment, he seemed to no longer be Hongjun, but the high and mighty Heavenly Dao!
In the past, when the Three Pure Ones split, besides Primordial Lord's own prejudice, there were naturally Heavenly Dao's calculations involved, planning for the future.
What surprised him now was not just Primordial Lord's change in attitude, but also his strength.
It gave him a feeling unlike that of a Heavenly Dao Saint. The aura was ancient and profound, closer to the Great Dao!
However, Hongjun had no intention of making a move against Primordial Lord yet.
After all, Primordial Lord was still a Heavenly Dao Saint and had not committed any act against Heaven.
But time could represent everything!
This seat will keep an eye on you!
