Meeting the Elders, Hongjun's First Lecture

After some time, Xuanxiao's aura gradually calmed down. He sensed his own realm and was delighted. He secretly asked the System, "System, can I be considered a Prodigy now?"

"Remember, be sweeter with your words from now on. Call me 'sister,' understand? As for your talent, it's quite good. After all, you've only just been born. Your magical cultivation is at the Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, and your physical strength... hmm, I'll find an opportunity to test it near Buzhou Mountain later. With your current strength, you can probably take on Xing Tian with just your physical body." The System's voice echoed within Xuanxiao's Primordial Spirit.

While Xuanxiao and the System were communicating in his Primordial Spirit, Tongtian arrived beside him, patting his shoulder. "Kid, you caused such a commotion when you were born. Now that things have calmed down, aren't you going to see your Father? What are you spacing out for here?"

Xuanxiao possessed all the memories from before his birth. He knew Tongtian had waited for several Yuanhui for him to hatch. Naturally, he felt a father-son bond with Tongtian. Moreover, in the Primordial World novels he had read on Earth, Tongtian was the character he admired most for his loyalty and righteousness. Thus, he immediately threw himself into Tongtian's embrace and gave him a sweet smile.

Tongtian was overjoyed. He hugged his son and returned to their thatched hut to show off. Laozi and Yuanshi, seeing this, both pouted and thought, So you're the only one with a son, huh?

"Ding, Long-term Mission: Maintain the relationship between the Three Pure Ones and prevent them from splitting up. Reward: A plaque that reads 'Great Desolation Tyrant'." The System humorously issued the mission.

Xuanxiao chuckled inwardly, Pfft, System, you're really something... 'Great Desolation Tyrant' is even a thing?

"As long as the Three Pure Ones don't split up, and before your Mother returns, you'll be the safest cub in the Primordial World. Be whoever you want to be, the little tyrant," a Mature Woman in the System space responded with a nod.

Just then, Xuanxiao heard a distant, melodious voice: "I lie high in the Nine Heavens, on a Meditation Cushion, understanding Dao Truth; Beyond Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow, I shall be the Sect Master. Pangu gave birth to Taiji, Two Forms and Four Symbols follow... Today, I achieve Sainthood and will preach in the Purple Heaven Palace three thousand years later..." Simultaneously, a wave of Saintly Might was released, causing all beings in the Primordial World to tremble and prostrate themselves.

The Three Pure Ones exchanged glances and said in unison, "This Saint realm is truly powerful. We should all go and listen. After all, we still don't know the path beyond Grand Unity."

The reaction was the same for other powerful beings in the Primordial World. At this moment, a Primordial Spirit appeared in the System space – it was Demon Ancestor Luohu.

The Mature Woman looked at Luohu and said, "Hey, no need to put on an act in front of me. Did that scumbag Hongjun trick you into achieving Sainthood?"

Luohu's Primordial Soul nodded aggrievedly, then transformed into a black-robed beauty. "That Hongjun is a complete scoundrel. He first pretended to pursue me for Immortal and Demonic Cultivation, and then... he found the weakness of my Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and conspired with Yang Mei, Yin Yang, and Qian Kun to harm me..."

"You're still too naive. Hmm, how about this? You can stay in this space and keep me company while I raise the child. Later, I'll have him avenge you, hehe." The System comforted Luohu, but then, unintentionally, let out a gloating laugh.

"Ding, Mission Released: Delayed Gratification. Don't rush to ask for a meeting gift. Right now, Laozi and the others are poor. Hold on until after the Treasure Distribution Cliff and then ask them for good things. Mission Reward: Innate Supreme Treasure Primordial Sword."

Xuanxiao was just about to act cute and ask for a meeting gift when this mission from the System stopped him from saying it.

Laozi said, "Tongtian, hold your son tight, and let's go visit the Purple Firmament Palace together. Ten thousand years is long, but it's also short..." With that, the three of them, plus one small one, flew towards the Chaos.

Other powerful beings in the Primordial World had the same plan. One could see that from famous mountains and great rivers, to various Star Gods, anyone who had the strength to traverse the Chaos space joined the ranks of searching for the Purple Heaven Palace.
