Ancestor Hongjun put away his treasure, bowed toward Ancestor Yang Mei, and then slunk away.
As for settling accounts with Devil Ancestor Luo Hou?
Now that Ancestor Yang Mei had intervened, Ancestor Hongjun could only let it go.
After all, Ancestor Yang Mei had already warned him once. If he still failed to take the hint, his Primordial Unity Dao Fruit might be crippled again.
After leaving, Ancestor Hongjun did not immediately return to the Primordial World. Instead, he went into the Chaos to seek opportunities.
Ancestor Yang Mei would not let Hongjun deal with Devil Ancestor Luo Hou, but he could not possibly forbid him from seeking opportunities in the Chaos, right?
Ancestor Hongjun wandered through the Chaos for an unknown length of time. During that process, he searched for opportunities while consolidating his cultivation.
Until, in the Chaos, Ancestor Hongjun found a Chaos Origin Stone. Some impurities, consisting of metal, stone, and jade, clung to its edges.
Ancestor Hongjun saw that the Chaos Origin Stone was extraordinary. He put it away and then left the Chaos, returning to the Primordial World.
Primordial World...
After returning, Ancestor Hongjun did not go back to Jade Capital Mountain. Instead, he stopped in the Thirty-three Heavens Great Luo Heaven.
"Disperse!"
Ancestor Hongjun waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, scattering some of the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder in Great Luo Heaven and opening up a pure land.
"Purple Firmament Palace, arise!"
With a single word, Ancestor Hongjun created a cultivation abode.
Ancestor Hongjun took out the Origin Stone he had found in the Chaos and cut away the impurities around its edges.
The impurities split into three pieces: one jade stone and two metal stones, one large and one small.
Ancestor Hongjun waved his horsetail whisk again. The jade stone and the two metal stones burst with divine light and transformed into three children.
"Thank you, Ancestor, for enlightening us and granting us the Dao!"
After taking human form, the three children bowed respectfully to Ancestor Hongjun.
"You shall be named Yaochi!"
After naming the jade maiden, Ancestor Hongjun looked at the golden boy and golden girl and said:
"You siblings shall be named Haotian and Yaoji!"
"The golden boy Haotian and jade maiden Yaochi shall be the attendant children of Purple Firmament Palace, while the golden girl Yaoji shall be the sweeping attendant."
Ancestor Hongjun gave names and assigned duties to the three children he had enlightened.
"Thank you, Ancestor, for granting us our names!"
Haotian, Yaoji, and Yaochi hurriedly bowed and thanked Ancestor Hongjun.
They gladly accepted Ancestor Hongjun's arrangements. Of course, they could only gladly accept them.
After all, if Ancestor Hongjun could enlighten them and help them attain the Dao, he could also easily return them to their original forms.
"Lying high amid the nine layers of clouds, upon the meditation mat I comprehend the truth!
"Beyond Heaven, Earth, and the Profound Yellow, I shall hold the honored position of master!"
"Heavenly Dao above, the Dao lineage of the Profound Sect, arise!"
Ancestor Hongjun announced to the Primordial World and prayed to Heaven and Earth as he established the Dao lineage of the Profound Sect.
After Ancestor Hongjun established the Dao lineage of the Profound Sect, the Heavenly Dao sensed it and bestowed seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Hongmeng Purple Qi differed from Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi. Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi was the foundation of the Primordial World, with the Profound representing Heaven and the Yellow representing Earth!
Hongmeng Purple Qi, however, was the foundation of the Great Dao. After the Heavenly Dao awakened, the Great Dao bestowed seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi upon the Primordial World, granting it the positions of Primordial World Saints!
Now that Ancestor Hongjun had established the Dao lineage of the Profound Sect, the Heavenly Dao once again bestowed the seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi upon him, solely so that he could advance the grand plan for the Primordial World.
After accepting the seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, Ancestor Hongjun announced to the Primordial World:
"I am Hongjun, the Saint who presides over the Profound Sect. Today, I have opened a cultivation abode in the Thirty-three Heavens' Great Luo Heaven—the Purple Firmament Palace—and established the Dao lineage of the Profound Sect!
"Three thousand years from now, I shall expound the Dao in the Purple Firmament Palace and answer the doubts of all living beings in the Primordial World.
"All who are fated may come to the Purple Firmament Palace to hear the Dao. Those with abundant fortune may learn the Saint's Primordial Unity Dao Method."
The voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun spread across the four seas and eight wastelands, stirring the Primordial World.
This was a Saint expounding the Dao—a mighty being who had attained the Dao teaching the Primordial World!
Those with abundant fortune could learn the Saint's Primordial Unity Dao Method. Was that not referring to innate deities and innate divine beasts like them?
They had been born incomparably noble, survived the Fierce Beast Tribulation, the Three Clans Hegemony, and the Dao-Devil War. Were they not people of abundant fortune?
Look, Ancestor Hongjun knew that the cultivation abodes of innate divine beasts and innate deities like them were far from the Purple Firmament Palace.
He had even specially given them three thousand years to travel. Was he not waiting for them?
After receiving news that the Dao would be expounded in the Purple Firmament Palace, many innate deities and innate divine beasts immediately set off for Great Luo Heaven.
It was not that they feared being late. They simply wanted to reach the Purple Firmament Palace early and leave Saint Hongjun with a good impression.
Perhaps the Saint would take a liking to them and directly pass on the method of attaining Sainthood?
If Bai Chen knew what these innate deities and innate divine beasts were thinking, he would only laugh.
That's right, go early.
Better yet, hurry so much that you forget to close the doors of your abodes. That way, when this Great God enters later to seek opportunities, I won't have to waste time prying the doors open.
And do you really think that going early will leave Ancestor Hongjun with a good impression?
What a joke!
The positions of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao had been decided by the Great Dao long ago.
Even if Ancestor Hongjun had a good impression of you, he would not dare give you a Saint's position!
Ancestor Hongjun's arrangement to expound the Dao three thousand years later was indeed meant to wait for people.
But he was waiting for the future Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, not extras like you.
Fuxi, who had been in seclusion for many years, emerged immediately after learning of the Saint's announcement and went to Zu Fei Palace to look for Nuwa.
That's right, it was Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace.
Ever since Nuwa and Bai Chen had ambushed and killed the First Qilin, Nuwa had moved into Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace and shared a cultivation abode with him.
The cultivation abode Nuwa had previously opened at Phoenix Perch Mountain had never been lived in since its completion. It had been completely abandoned.
After Fuxi arrived at Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace, he looked around. This was his first time visiting Bai Chen's cultivation abode.
Fuxi's eyes widened like copper bells.
He had heard that Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace was extremely luxurious, but seeing it today, he realized that "luxurious" did not begin to describe it. It was simply extravagant beyond reason.
Those who knew understood that this was Bai Chen's cat's nest. Those who did not might think it was a Saint's cultivation abode.
Fuxi reckoned that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Purple Firmament Palace might look about the same.
Fuxi finally understood why Nuwa had moved into Bai Chen's cat's nest. It was because Yuanfeng had built it far too well.
Honestly, when Fuxi compared himself to Bai Chen, he felt like an uncivilized barbarian who had yet to spread enlightenment, living a life of nothing but hardship.
After being shocked all the way there, Fuxi finally reached the main hall of Zu Fei Palace.
Nuwa was meditating on a raised platform, while Bai Chen lay on her shoulder, dozing and making purring sounds.
Sensing Fuxi's arrival, Nuwa also ended her meditation.
"Little Sister, a Saint is expounding the Dao. We should hurry there and listen, lest arriving late displease the Saint."
Fuxi stated his purpose as soon as he arrived. He estimated that many living beings would attend this time, and if they went late, they might not find a place.
"Mm!"
Nuwa nodded in agreement. She then lifted Bai Chen from her shoulder and shook him awake.
"Little White, stop sleeping. We're going to the Purple Firmament Palace to hear the Dao."
Looking at Bai Chen's sleepy appearance, Nuwa was very worried that after bringing him to hear the Dao, he would fall asleep during the lecture and displease the Saint.
Bleary-eyed, Bai Chen rubbed his eyes with his little paws and said:
"Nuwa, you and that sister-obsessed Fuxi can go to the Purple Firmament Palace to hear the Dao. This Great God isn't going."
"This Great God promised Yuanfeng to protect the Phoenix Clan, so I'll stay here and guard the house."
Bai Chen had no intention of going to hear the Dao because the lectures at the Purple Firmament Palace would be held three times.
The most important part of the first lecture was fighting for seats, but the six meditation cushions had long since been fixed.
Even if Bai Chen managed to seize one, he would not be able to hold onto it. Ancestor Hongjun might even knock him off the cushion with a wave of his sleeve.
As for the content of the first lecture, it was simply Ancestor Hongjun dividing cultivation realms.
He had established the realms of Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Quasi-Saint, as well as explaining the cultivation methods from Heavenly Immortal to Great Luo Golden Immortal.
This Great God Bai Chen had been born as a High-level Golden Immortal who had already condensed the Three Flowers on the Crown. According to the realms established by Ancestor Hongjun, that meant he was a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Was there any need for him to listen to cultivation methods ranging from Heavenly Immortal to Great Luo Golden Immortal?
It was not as if Great God Bai Chen could cripple his cultivation and start practicing from scratch, right?
It could be said that the contents of the first Purple Firmament Palace lecture were completely useless to Bai Chen.
The second Purple Firmament Palace lecture would cover the Quasi-Saint path and the Three Thousand Laws, while the third would cover the Primordial Unity Dao Method and the method of attaining the Dao.
The second and third lectures were the real substance. Going to the first lecture could be said to be a waste of time.
After all, many mighty beings had not attended the first or second Purple Firmament Palace lectures, only going to hear the Dao at the third.
Thus, Bai Chen planned to attend the second lecture and listen to the Three Thousand Laws.
