Primordial Era: Bumping Into Nuwa at the Start!

Originally, this treasure cauldron was intended by Saint Hongjun as a gift for Nuwa upon accepting disciples during his third lecture.

However, with the recent events and Nuwa's good relationship with Bai Chen, Saint Hongjun decided to bestow this treasure cauldron upon Bai Chen instead.

Since Bai Chen is Nuwa's Pet Beast, gifting it to Bai Chen is not much different from gifting it to Nuwa.

This is the Qian Kun Cauldron?

Bai Chen's body trembled violently; it recognized the cauldron's origin.

There are many Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Primordial Era, the most famous being the top ten. The Qian Kun Cauldron is one of these ten.

This Qian Kun Cauldron should have been Nuwa's fortune, yet Saint Hongjun is actually giving it to Great God Bai Chen. It's simply unbelievable.

"Bai Chen thanks the Saint!"

After Bai Chen reacted, it quickly put away the Qian Kun Cauldron and bowed thankfully to Saint Hongjun.

Bai Chen carefully examined the Qian Kun Cauldron. It knew that this treasure cauldron was not only a supreme defensive artifact but also renowned as the Primordial Era's foremost artifact refining treasure. Legend had it that it possessed the ability to transform Post-celestial Spiritual Treasures into Innate Spiritual Treasures.

According to Bai Chen's knowledge, although the Qian Kun Cauldron had the ability to transform Post-celestial into Innate, Nuwa had never refined an Innate Spiritual Treasure after obtaining it.

Bai Chen speculated that the Qian Kun Cauldron's ability to transform Post-celestial into Innate likely had limitations.

After all, Innate Spiritual Treasures and Post-celestial Spiritual Treasures are fundamentally different; how could they be easily transformed?

When it has time, Bai Chen must thoroughly research the Qian Kun Cauldron's abilities.

"You all shall find your own positions and prepare to listen to the Dao."

With a command from Saint Hongjun, the Innate Deities present, including the Ancestor Witches, each found a spot to listen to the lecture.

Bai Chen prepared to meditate on Nuwa's shoulder, but Nuwa casually pushed it off.

Nuwa shifted her position, clearing a spot for Bai Chen on the futon. She placed Bai Chen on the futon, sharing it with it.

As Bai Chen sat on the futon, it suddenly felt someone poking its back. Turning its head, it saw Xuanming and Houtu.

Saint Hongjun had only instructed everyone to find their own seats to listen to the Dao; he hadn't forbidden them from approaching the six central futons.

Therefore, the Xuanming and Houtu sisters found a spot not too far from Nuwa and began to meditate.

It wasn't that the Xuanming and Houtu sisters wanted to be close to Nuwa, but rather they wanted to be close to Bai Chen.

"Xuanming, Houtu, why are you here?"

"You don't cultivate your Primordial Spirit or True Spirit. Even if you understand the Dao, you won't be able to use it!"

Bai Chen felt that Xuanming and Houtu shouldn't have come to listen to the lecture. Ancestor Witches were different from Pet Beasts and Innate Deities. Ancestor Witches did not cultivate their Primordial Spirit or True Spirit.

Saint Hongjun's Dao methods required the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit, making them entirely unsuitable for the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

Thus, the Ancestor Witches had no reason to attend the lecture; it was a complete waste of time.

"Lazy cat, you seem to have gotten fatter again."

Xuanming felt that every time she saw Bai Chen, it seemed to have gained weight.

"You're the one who's gained weight."

Bai Chen directly retorted to Xuanming. Its body as Great God Bai Chen was so perfect; how could it be fat?

"Little White, focus on listening to the Dao and don't talk nonsense."

Nuwa saw Bai Chen was distracted and quickly turned its head back.

Saint Hongjun, seeing that everyone present had found their seats, said:

"From now on, when I lecture, you will all listen from these designated positions and may not change them arbitrarily."

Saint Hongjun's words seemed insignificant, but they were actually protecting the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin.

These six futons were themselves Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, capable of aiding the six in comprehending creation.

Without these futons, Nuwa and the other five's gains from listening to the Dao would be significantly reduced.

If Saint Hongjun hadn't said this, Nuwa and the others might have had futons this time, but not necessarily next time.

Without Saint Hongjun's constraint, the Innate Great Gods would undoubtedly fight for the futons during the next lecture.

"I have decided to disseminate the Dao and the Dharma in three rounds..."

Saint Hongjun began his lecture, starting from the primordial chaos and continuing to Pangu's creation of the Primordial Era.

Why did Saint Hongjun tell the Innate Great Gods present the history of the Primordial Era?

Although the Innate Great Gods present had Innate Inheritance memories, their memories were not comprehensive.

After Saint Hongjun finished recounting the history of the Primordial Era, he proceeded to delineate the cultivation realms.

"The current cultivation realms of the Primordial Era are unclear. I have decided to subdivide them.

Below Low-level Golden Immortal are Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, and Profound Immortal!

Low-level Golden Immortals, whose five internal energies have not yet formed and who have not attained the Taiyi Dao Fruit, shall be Golden Immortals!

Mid-level Golden Immortals, whose five internal energies have formed and who have cultivated the Taiyi Dao Fruit, shall be Taiyi Golden Immortals!

High-level Golden Immortals, whose three flowers atop their heads have bloomed and who have attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit, shall be Great Luo Golden Immortals!"

Within these realms, there are further divisions: early, mid, late, and peak stages.

Above the peak stage, a mere step away from the next realm, lies the 'half-step' stage!"

"..."

After the Saint Hongjun divided the cultivation realms, the Innate Great Gods reviewed their own cultivation and matched them to their respective stages.

Among the Innate Great Gods present, according to Saint Hongjun's realm divisions, the lowest were at the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Innate Deities and Innate Divine Beasts, upon birth, began at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, with three flowers blooming atop their heads.

If not for the lack of Innate Inheritance, perhaps some Innate Divine Beasts and Innate Deities would have already cultivated to the Half-step Dao Proving stage.

"Little White, I feel my cultivation far surpasses the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet it's not Half-step Dao Proving?"

Nuwa looked at Bai Chen, voicing her confusion.

This wasn't just Nuwa's bewilderment; many other Innate Great Gods were also puzzled.

Many Innate Great Gods had cultivation beyond the peak of Great Luo, but they were all confused about their true realm. Could they be Half-step Dao Proving?

"Nuwa, you are not Half-step Dao Proving.

This Great God has seen true Half-step Dao Proving. Yuan Feng, at her Half-step Dao Proving cultivation, could have slapped you to death with one hand!"

Bai Chen knew very well that Saint Hongjun had withheld one realm from his announcement, which led them to mistakenly believe they were Half-step Dao Proving.

That realm was Quasi-Saint.

Those fellows were still far from Proving the Dao; how could they possibly be Half-step Dao Proving?

They were merely Half-step Quasi-Saints, and would have to kneel before a mighty being at the Half-step Dao Proving stage.

Nuwa was a little unhappy with Bai Chen's bluntness.

Was she really that weak? Was the gap between her and Yuan Feng that large?

"Little White, you're only at the peak of Great Luo. What right do you have to say my cultivation is low?"

"You need to cultivate properly and no more sleeping in from now on."

Nuwa pinched Bai Chen's chubby little face and lectured him. She decided that from now on, when she cultivated, she would bring this lazy cat along.

The most awkward ones were the Ancestor Witches, as they did not cultivate the Primordial Spirit and had no idea which realm their cultivation corresponded to.

However, the Ancestor Witches didn't seem to mind much; they were quite confident in their own strength.

After Saint Hongjun announced the realms, he began to lecture on the cultivation methods from Heavenly Immortal to Great Luo Golden Immortal.

As for the cultivation methods for the Quasi-Saint realm, he didn't intend to lecture on them this time, planning to save them for later.

In the blink of an eye, three thousand years passed, and Saint Hongjun's sermon finally concluded.

These three thousand years were agonizing for Bai Chen and the Twelve Ancestor Witches!

The Twelve Ancestor Witches couldn't understand what was being said as they didn't cultivate the Primordial Spirit, so they could only space out.

Bai Chen, on the other hand, understood but didn't want to listen.

Great God Bai Chen had been a Great Luo Golden Immortal since birth. Was there any need for him to listen to the cultivation methods for Heavenly Immortals and Golden Immortals?

It was like graduating early and being asked to review material you'd already aced.

The sermon at Purple Firmament Palace yielded very little for most attendees; only a select few with exceptionally high comprehension gained significantly.

The Three Pure Ones' cultivation surged, and the three brothers successively broke through their own limitations, entering the Quasi-Saint realm.

After the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin also entered the Quasi-Saint realm one after another.

These six, aided by the cushions beneath them, were able to gain so much during Saint Hongjun's sermon.

In the future, after the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao broke through and entered the Quasi-Saint realm, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi also entered this realm not long after.

These seven, having entered the Quasi-Saint realm without Saint Hongjun personally imparting the Dao of Quasi-Sainthood, demonstrated considerable talent.

"Saint, may we know what realm we are currently in?"

Shangqing Tongtian, who had a more straightforward personality, directly bowed to Saint Hongjun and asked.

Shangqing Tongtian's proactive inquiry caused Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi to break out in a cold sweat.

They knew that person was a Saint, and for their own brother to directly question him was somewhat disrespectful.

Saint Hongjun turned his gaze to Shangqing Tongtian, stroked his beard, and smiled:

"You are at the early stage of Quasi-Saint!"

Saint Hongjun had noticed Shangqing Tongtian during his sermon. The latter possessed an innocent heart, free from distractions, and was the first to enter the Quasi-Saint realm.

Saint Hongjun was very pleased with Shangqing Tongtian, almost stating directly that this child could inherit his mantle.

Bai Chen noticed Saint Hongjun's expression. It was estimated that if someone other than Shangqing Tongtian had asked, Saint Hongjun would not have bothered to acknowledge them at all.

"The Dao methods I have imparted to you this time must be thoroughly comprehended, so as to lay a good foundation for the next sermon."
