Ancestor Hongjun put away his magical artifact, bowed to Ancestor Yang Mei, and then left dejectedly.
As for settling accounts with the Demon Ancestor Luohu?
Now that Ancestor Yang Mei had intervened, Ancestor Hongjun could only give up.
After all, Ancestor Yang Mei had already warned him once. If he didn't know any better, his Primordial Unity Dao Fruit might be crippled again.
After Ancestor Hongjun left, he didn't immediately return to the Primordial Era. Instead, he went to the Chaos to seek opportunities.
Ancestor Yang Mei didn't allow Ancestor Hongjun to deal with the Demon Ancestor Luohu, but he couldn't stop him from seeking opportunities in the Chaos, could he?
Ancestor Hongjun didn't know how long he traveled through the Chaos. During this time, he both sought opportunities and consolidated his realm.
Until Ancestor Hongjun found a Chaos Origin Stone in the Chaos. The edges of the stone had some impurities of gold, stone, jade, and gems.
Ancestor Hongjun saw that this Chaos Origin Stone was extraordinary. He put it away and then left the Chaos, returning to the Primordial Era.
The Primordial Era...
Upon his return, 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 his whisk, dispelling some of the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder in the Great Luo Heaven, creating a pure land.
Purple Heaven Palace, established!
Ancestor Hongjun's words became reality, and a Dojo was created.
Ancestor Hongjun took the stone he had found in the Chaos and cut off the impurities from its edges.
The impurities split into three: one piece of jade and two pieces of gold, one large and one small.
Ancestor Hongjun waved his whisk again. The jade and two pieces of gold burst forth with divine light, transforming into three young attendants.
"Thank you, Ancestor, for enlightening us and bestowing upon us the Dao!"
After the three attendants took form, they bowed to Ancestor Hongjun.
"Your name is Yaochi!"
After Ancestor Hongjun bestowed a name upon the jade maiden, he looked at the golden boy and golden girl and said:
"You two siblings shall be named Haotian and Yaoji!"
"The golden boy Haotian and the jade maiden Yaochi will be the attendants who close the Purple Heaven Palace, and the golden girl Yaoji will be the attendant who sweeps the floor."
Ancestor Hongjun named the three attendants he had enlightened and assigned them their respective tasks.
"Thank you, Ancestor, for bestowing our names!"
The siblings Haotian and Yaoji, along with Yaochi, quickly thanked and bowed to Ancestor Hongjun.
They gladly accepted Ancestor Hongjun's arrangements, though they could only accept them gladly.
After all, Ancestor Hongjun could enlighten them and allow them to attain the Dao, but he could also easily revert them to their original forms.
"High I recline in the ninefold clouds, with a meditation cushion I understand the true Dao! Beyond the primordial Heaven and Earth, I shall be the honored sect leader!"
"Heavenly Dao above, the Mystic Gate lineage is established!"
Ancestor Hongjun announced to the Primordial Era, praying to Heaven and Earth to establish the Mystic Gate lineage.
When Ancestor Hongjun established the Mystic Gate lineage, the Heavenly Dao responded by bestowing seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Hongmeng Purple Qi is different from Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi. Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi is the foundation of the Primordial Era; Profound represents Heaven, and Yellow represents Earth!
However, Hongmeng Purple Qi is the foundation of the Great Dao. After the Heavenly Dao revived, the Great Dao bestowed seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi upon the Primordial Era, allowing for the existence of Saints in the Primordial Era!
Now that Ancestor Hongjun had established the Mystic Gate lineage, the Heavenly Dao again bestowed seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi upon Ancestor Hongjun, solely to enable Ancestor Hongjun to advance the grand plan of the Primordial Era.
After receiving the seven strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, Ancestor Hongjun announced to the Primordial Era:
"I am Hongjun, the Saint and Sect Leader of the Mystic Gate. Today, I have established my Dojo, the Purple Heaven Palace, in the Great Luo Heaven of the Thirty-three Heavens and founded the Mystic Gate lineage! Three thousand years from now, I will impart the Dao laws at the Purple Heaven Palace to resolve doubts for all beings in the Primordial Era. Those with affinity may come to the Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the Dao. Those with profound fortune may learn the Primordial Unity Dao laws of a Saint."
The voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun echoed throughout the four seas and eight wildernesses, causing a stir in the Primordial Era.
This was a Saint preaching the Dao, a powerful being who had attained the Dao in the Primordial Era giving a lecture!
Those with profound fortune could learn the Primordial Unity Dao laws of a Saint, wasn't that referring to them, the Innate Deities and Innate Divine Beasts?
They were born with unparalleled nobility and had survived the Fierce Beast Tribulation, the Three Clans Hegemony, and the Dao-Demon Conflict. Could they not be considered those with profound fortune?
See, Ancestor Hongjun knew that their Dojos, the Innate Divine Beasts and Innate Deities, were far from the Purple Heaven Palace.
He had specifically given them three thousand years to travel, wasn't that waiting for them?
Upon hearing the news of the Purple Heaven Palace preaching the Dao, many Innate Deities and Innate Divine Beasts immediately set off for the Great Luo Heaven.
It wasn't that they were afraid of being late, but rather that they wanted to reach the Purple Heaven Palace earlier to make a good impression on Saint Hongjun.
Perhaps the Saint would take a liking to them and directly impart the method of attaining the Dao?
If Bai Chen knew what these Innate Deities and Innate Divine Beasts were thinking, he would only chuckle:
"Right, right, you all go quickly.
It's best if you leave in a hurry and forget to close your dojos, so I don't have to waste time prying open doors when I go in to seek opportunities later.
And do you really think going early will leave a good impression on Ancestor Hongjun?
Hilarious!
The spots for the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao were set long ago by the Great Dao.
Even if Ancestor Hongjun had a good impression of you, he wouldn't dare give you a Saint position!
Ancestor Hongjun's arrangement to preach in three thousand years is indeed waiting for someone.
But he's waiting for the future Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, not for you extras.
Fuxi, who had been in seclusion for many years, emerged immediately upon hearing the announcement of the Saint's sermon and went to Zu Fei Palace to find Nuwa.
That's right, it was Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace.
Ever since Nuwa and Bai Chen ambushed the First Qilin back then, Nuwa had moved into Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace and shared a dojo with him.
The dojo Nuwa had previously established on Phoenix Perch Mountain had never been lived in since it was created, and could be considered completely abandoned.
When Fuxi arrived at Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace, he looked around. This was his first time visiting Bai Chen's dojo.
Fuxi's eyes widened, like copper bells.
He had heard before that Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace was very luxurious, but seeing it today, how could this be called luxurious? It was simply outrageously extravagant.
If you didn't know this was Bai Chen's cat's den, you'd think it was a Saint's dojo!
Fuxi estimated that Ancestor Hongjun's Purple Heaven Palace might only be like this.
Fuxi finally understood why Nuwa had moved into Bai Chen's cat's den. It was because Yuan Feng had built Bai Chen's cat's den too well.
Honestly, Fuxi felt like a civilized barbarian compared to Bai Chen, living a life of hardship.
Amidst his shock, Fuxi finally arrived at the main hall of Zu Fei Palace.
Nuwa was meditating on a high platform, while Bai Chen was dozing on Nuwa's shoulder, emitting a 'purring' sound.
Nuwa sensed Fuxi's arrival and also ended her meditation.
"Sister, the Saint is preaching. We should hurry and listen, lest we be late and displease the Saint."
Fuxi stated his purpose immediately upon arrival. He estimated that many beings would be heading to this sermon, and if they were late, they might not get a seat.
"Mm!"
Nuwa agreed with Fuxi's suggestion, then picked Bai Chen up from her shoulder and shook him awake:
"Little White, stop sleeping. We're going to the Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the sermon."
Looking at Bai Chen's sleepy appearance, Nuwa worried that he might fall asleep during the sermon and displease the Saint.
Bai Chen, still groggy, rubbed his eyes with his little paws and said:
"Nuwa, you and Fuxi, the sister-complex, go listen to the sermon at Purple Heaven Palace. This Great God isn't going."
"This Great God promised Yuan Feng to protect the Phoenix Clan, so I'll stay here and guard the house."
Bai Chen had no intention of going to listen to the sermon because the sermon at Purple Heaven Palace was divided into three sessions.
The most important thing in the first session was to grab a seat, but the six cushion spots were fixed long ago.
Even if he, Bai Chen, managed to grab a cushion, he wouldn't be able to keep it, and might even be swept off by Ancestor Hongjun with a wave of his robe.
As for the content of the first sermon, it was Ancestor Hongjun defining the realms.
He created realms like Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Quasi-Saint, and explained the cultivation methods from Heavenly Immortal to Great Luo Golden Immortal.
He, Great God Bai Chen, was born as a High-level Golden Immortal with Three Flowers on the Crown condensed, which, according to Ancestor Hongjun's realm classification, was equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Was there any need to listen to the cultivation methods from Heavenly Immortal to Great Luo Golden Immortal?
It's not like this Great God Bai Chen would cripple his cultivation and start from scratch, right?
It could be said that the content of the first Purple Heaven Palace sermon was completely useless to Bai Chen.
The second Purple Heaven Palace sermon was about the path of the Quasi-Saint and the Three Thousand Laws, and the third sermon was about the Primordial Unity Dao Method and the method to Prove the Dao.
The second and third sermons were pure essence. Attending the first sermon was a waste of time.
It's worth noting that many powerful beings didn't attend the first and second Purple Heaven Palace sermons, only going for the third.
Therefore, Bai Chen planned to attend the second sermon to listen to the Three Thousand Laws.
