Recruiting Bodyguards and Enforcers! (Continued)

Just as the Innate Great God were in a panic, the sage Hongjun once again spoke the law, and the endless chaotic winds were dispelled by the sage's Hongjun aura.

The sage Hongjun looked at the myriad heavens and universes within the chaos and said:

"Fellow Daoists, today I will be preaching the Primordial Unity Dao Method and the method of attaining the Dao at the Purple Cloud Palace. If any of you are interested, you are welcome to come and listen."

Those guys were able to be called fellow Daoists by the Sage Hongjun, so their status is self-evident.

As the sage proclaimed, powerful beings from all the myriad worlds of the chaotic universe rushed to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the sermon.

"Little White, their cultivation levels are so high!"

Nuwa discovered that these beings from all the heavens and the universe who came to listen to the Dao were all terrifyingly powerful in their cultivation.

The pressure from these guys was even more terrifying than the pressure she felt from Yuanfeng.

"Nonsense!"

Bai Chen rolled his eyes at Nuwa, then revealed the identities of these guys:

"Some of them left the Primordial World in their early years, while others were born in the chaos itself."

"However, they all share a common identity: they are the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods who have been stripped of their Primordial Fruit Status."

"This great god estimates that their cultivation has reached the Half-step Dao Proving realm, and not just any ordinary Half-step Dao Proving, which is why they are able to walk in the chaos."

The Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods did not all die; this was all a mess left behind by the Great God Pangu.

"We have met the Great God Hongjun!"

The Chaos Demon God who had lost their Primordial Fruit Status bowed to the Sage Hongjun as a sign of respect for their junior status.

There was no other way. Although they were of the same generation as Hongjun, they had lost their Primordial Fruit Status and were not as strong as Hongjun. They still had to pay their respects.

"Leize and fellow Daoists, please dispense with the formalities!"

After the sage Hongjun dismissed Leize and the other crippled Chaos Demon God from formalities, he gestured for them to each find a place to listen to the Dao.

Leize!!!

Bai Chen, who was sitting next to Nuwa, was immediately startled when he heard the name Leize!

Leize, the master of the Law of Thunder!

Leixiaze's Leize!

Leize, the adopted father of Fuxi!

If Bai Chen's guess is correct, Leize is the same person who was Fuxi's adoptive father when he was reincarnated as a human in later generations.

In later generations, a human woman named Huaxu stepped on Leize's footprints and gave birth to Fuxi while pregnant.

Fuxi's father became Leize.

After thinking about all this, Bai Chen climbed onto Nuwa's shoulder, pointed at Leize, and telepathically communicated with Nuwa:

"Nuwa, he's a relative of yours!"

Bai Chen wasn't just making things up; he was referring to the relationship between Fuxi and Leize in later generations, as well as the relationship between Fuxi and Nuwa.

As long as Nuwa still acknowledges Fuxi as her elder brother, then Leize is indeed related to Nuwa in some way.

"???"

Nuwa was completely bewildered by Bai Chen's words. She didn't even know Leize, so where did this strange relative come from?

"Nuwa, you'll understand later!"

Bai Chen didn't explain much to Nuwa. He couldn't very well tell Nuwa that Fuxi, in his later years, was burdened by Great Karmic Debt and, in order to save his life, was reincarnated as a human, becoming the nominal son of Leize and Huaxu, could he?

"Cough cough cough!"

Seeing that the Chaos Demon God had almost all arrived, the sage Hongjun coughed once and prepared to begin his sermon.

Just then, Bai Chen, sensing the opportunity, took out Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.

Bai Chen knew very well that even if he didn't take it out himself, the Sage Hongjun would lend it to him to help Shangqing Tongtian listen to the Dao.

Now that he has voluntarily offered up the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, he can control the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation to take better care of himself and Nuwa.

As Bai Chen unleashed the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, enveloping himself in a ring around him, he and Nuwa received the greatest blessing.

Sage Hongjun frowned slightly, but seeing that Shangqing Tongtian was also enveloped by the power of the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, he didn't say anything more.

There was no other way; he couldn't very well let Bai Chen place the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation on Shangqing Tongtian's head, could he?

That would only tell everyone that he favors Shangqing Tongtian, or that his favoritism is excessive.

"The primordial chaos is the state before the separation of primordial energy, a state of one unified whole, the very beginning of primordial energy..."

The sage Hongjun began to expound on the Primordial Unity Dao Method, but before he could finish speaking, an unexpected event occurred.

"Hongjun, you're preaching far too early! I haven't even had time to get here yet!"

A majestic voice echoed from the chaos.

Then, Ancestor Yang Mei, broke through the void and appeared in the Purple Cloud Palace. The Sage Hongjun quickly rose to greet him.

"Brother Yang Mei, it was all my fault, please forgive me!"

Ever since the last time the Sage Hongjun was taught a lesson by Ancestor Yang Mei, he has been extremely wary of Ancestor Yang Mei.

Faced with Ancestor Yang Mei's questioning, he could only force a smile.

"We have met the Great God Yang Mei!"

The Chaos Demon God who had lost their Primordial Fruit Status quickly bowed and paid their respects upon seeing Ancestor Yang Mei.

After all, this was the third strongest among the three thousand Chaos beings, whose strength was once second only to the great god Pangu and the Ancestor Shichen.

"Fellow Daoists, no need for formalities!"

Ancestor Yang Mei gestured to the crowd to dispense with formalities, and at the invitation of the Sage Hongjun, he took his seat on the high platform, sitting on equal footing with the host, the Sage Hongjun.

???

Bai Chen was quite puzzled by the arrival of Ancestor Yang Mei. Why would the other party appear at the Purple Cloud Palace for the Three Lectures? This did not conform to the Great Dao's Destiny!

Nuwa reached out and poked Bai Chen's chubby belly, then voiced her doubts:

"Little White, it seems the Sage is quite wary of the other party!"

Although Nuwa was unaware of Ancestor Yang Mei's true identity, she could tell from certain events that Ancestor Yang Mei, whom even the Sage Hongjun was wary of, was no ordinary person.

Bai Chen rolled his eyes at Nuwa and said irritably:

"Nonsense, that's Ancestor Yang Mei!"

"Ranked third among the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, only Great God Pangu and Ancestor Shichen can truly surpass Ancestor Yang Mei!"

Actually, there was one more thing Bai Chen didn't say: the sage Hongjun had been beaten by Ancestor Yang Mei.

"Hongjun, if you want to preach, then continue!"

I won't bother you. I'd also like to hear about your Primordial Chaos Dao!

Ancestor Yang Mei gestured for Ancestor Hongjun to continue preaching, though he was not interested in Hongjun's Primordial Chaos Dao.

His cultivation surpassed that of the sage Hongjun, and his understanding of the Primordial Chaos Technique was even greater than that of the sage Hongjun.

Those words were merely polite exchanges with the sage Hongjun.

"Brother Yang Mei, then this humble Daoist will make a fool of himself. Please forgive me!"

The sage Hongjun apologized to Ancestor Yang Mei in advance, and then began to speak:

"The upper qi is called the Beginning, the middle qi is called the Primordial, and the lower qi is called the Mysterious. The Mysterious qi is born from emptiness, the Primordial qi is born from the void, and the Beginning qi is born from nothingness. Therefore, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang; this is the Taiji!"

"..."

When the sage Hongjun was expounding the Primordial Unity Dao Method, many people who lacked aptitude and had shallow blessings were simply unable to bear the Primordial Unity Dao Method.

One by one, they felt their heads were splitting with pain and they were drowsy. Of course, some of them were seriously injured, such as the East Prince Gong, who had already fainted.

The greatest beneficiaries of the sage Hongjun's Primordial Unity Dao Method were those Chaos Demon God who had lost their Primordial Fruit Status and Half-step Dao Proving.

After all, their predecessors were Chaos Demon God who possessed the Primordial Fruit Status, and with their current cultivation at the Half-step Dao Proving, it's normal that they gained the most.

It would be abnormal if they didn't achieve much.

If his previous incarnation was Chaos Demon God, and he couldn't understand the Primordial Unity Dao Method, wouldn't he have been cultivating in vain?

Of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, Shangqing Tongtian understood 30%, Taiqing Laozi understood 25%, Yuqing Yuanshi understood a little over 20%.

Zhunti's aptitude for Jieyin was slightly weaker, and he only understood about 20% of what was being said.

As for Nuwa, although her aptitude was not as good as Shangqing Tongtian's, she benefited greatly from being close to Bai Chen's Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation and understood about 30% of it.

Compared to the future Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, Bai Chen's aptitude is slightly inferior.

Even though it sat on the same futon as Nuwa and had Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, it only understood about half of the Primordial Unity Dao Method.

Interestingly, Eastern Emperor Taiyi understood one-tenth of the Primordial Unity Dao Method.

Although Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not possess the Supreme Innate Cushion or the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, he had a good older brother.

In order to help Eastern Emperor Taiyi the Dao, Di Jun lent him his Eastern Emperor Taiyi Hetu Luoshu.

With the help of the Hetu Luoshu, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was able to understand one-tenth of the Primordial Unity Dao Method.

As for Di Jun, Nether River of the Sea of Blood, Zhenyuanzi, Fuxi... those with decent aptitude only understood a fraction of the Primordial Unity Dao Method.

Actually, you can't really blame them; it's just that the Primordial Unity Dao Method is too profound.

After the sage Hongjun finished explaining the Primordial Unity Dao Method, Ancestor Yang Mei laughed and said:

"Hongjun, it seems you've made up your mind!"

There were some things that Ancestor Yang Mei had already figured out, so he was now a little curious about what Sage Hongjun was thinking, whether the other party wanted to accept his fate or not.
