The Greatest Tribulation in the Primordial World: Zixiao Palace Preaching / The Secret of the Primordial World's Tribulations: The Seal Heaven Plan

"Fine. Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you a little."

Zhang Yifan spoke up. "Let me ask you first. Which do you think was the greatest and most terrifying tribulation throughout the history of the Primordial World?"

Chapter 41: The Greatest Tribulation in the Primordial World: Zixiao Palace Preaching

Which do you think was the greatest and most terrifying tribulation in the history of the Primordial World?

Hearing Zhang Yifan's question, the Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, Saintess Nuwa, the Queen Mother, San Xiao, and the others all lowered their brows and thought about it.

Kirin Ancestor, Big Black Dog, Dragon Ancestor—the Big Goldfish in the pond—and the Nine Ten-Legged Golden Crows in the tree were all discussing it among themselves as well.

How could they possibly miss the secrets of the Primordial World's tribulations when their master was about to reveal them?

"Witch-Demon Tribulation," Yang Jian said.

"No, I think it was the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation." Yunxiao refuted Yang Jian's opinion.

"The Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation affected an extremely wide area as well. At the time, all the races of the Primordial World had no choice but to take part in it." Nuwa also offered her opinion.

"Oh? Little Luanluan knows about the tribulations of the Primordial World too?" Zhang Yifan looked at Nuwa in surprise.

"I heard stories from storytellers while I was begging." Nuwa came up with an excuse to cover up the embarrassment on her face.

After that, everyone offered their own opinions.

They went through every tribulation in the history of the Primordial World, but Zhang Yifan still only shook his head.

"Then could it be the Journey to the West Tribulation?"

Zhao Gongming suspiciously offered his own opinion.

But even he did not believe it himself.

That couldn't be right.

During the Journey to the West Tribulation, only a few people had died or been injured.

Compared with the tribulations of the past, the Primordial World had suffered the least destruction that time!

"Not that either." Zhang Yifan shook his head with a smile.

"Then what was it?"

The Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, San Xiao, and the others all grew excited.

Could it really be?

From the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation to the current Journey to the West Tribulation, they had gone through them all, and none of them was the answer?

"Could there be some hidden tribulation?" Yang Jian asked with a frown.

"They were all public." Zhang Yifan smiled.

"Ah!"

The Jade Emperor was greatly shocked. It was actually public, yet no one present knew about it?

"Father, hurry up and tell us. Stop keeping us in suspense." The Jade Emperor was itching to know and did not want to wait even a second longer.

"Exactly, Grandpa, hurry up and tell us." Sect Master Tongtian was equally curious.

Everyone faintly sensed that a great secret hidden in the Primordial World was about to be revealed before them.

"All right. I'll tell you."

Seeing how impatient everyone was, Zhang Yifan smiled and said, "The greatest and most terrifying tribulation in the Primordial World was actually Zixiao Palace Preaching!"

"Ah!!!"

Everyone cried out in shock!

No way?!

Like a single stone stirring up a thousand waves, Sect Master Tongtian and Nuwa were so shocked that they fell onto the ground.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's expressions changed drastically. They looked at each other in fear and confusion.

San Xiao, Zhao Gongming, Yang Jian, the Seven Fairies, and the others all stood frozen in place.

No way?

What was going on?

Zixiao Palace Preaching was actually a tribulation of the Primordial World?

And it was the greatest and most terrifying of all the horrifying tribulations in the history of the Primordial World?

Why?

If this was a tribulation, then hadn't Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother all been the most direct participants in Zixiao Palace Preaching?

But if Zixiao Palace Preaching had been a tribulation of the Primordial World, they had not suffered any losses.

On the contrary, everyone who had listened to the preaching had gained immeasurable benefits.

"Father, why was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's preaching at Zixiao Palace the greatest and most terrifying tribulation in the Primordial World?" The Jade Emperor could not help asking Zhang Yifan.

Indeed, why?

This information was far too shocking.

It was even frightening. Cold sweat ran down everyone's backs.

Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, the Queen Mother, San Xiao, and the others all looked at Zhang Yifan curiously.

Zhang Yifan rubbed his chin and smiled. "How should I put it? This actually originated from a secret plan of Dao Ancestor Hongjun."

"A secret plan of Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"

The Jade Emperor and Sect Master Tongtian exchanged a glance. They could both see immense shock, confusion, and unease in the other's eyes.

A bad feeling quietly crept into everyone's hearts.

What kind of secret plan did Dao Ancestor Hongjun have that could not be revealed?

"Grandpa, what plan was it?" Sect Master Tongtian asked Zhang Yifan with a frown.

"The Seal Heaven Plan."

Zhang Yifan revealed Dao Ancestor Hongjun's secret.

"The Seal Heaven Plan?!"

Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, the Jade Emperor, and the others were both shocked and confused.

Yet from the name alone, it was clear that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's secret plan was extraordinary.

Seal Heaven?

Seal Heaven!

He was even going to seal Heaven!

What exactly was Dao Ancestor Hongjun plotting?

Yunxiao was horrified as well and could not help asking, "Great-grandpa, what exactly is the Seal Heaven Plan?"

Chapter 42: The Secret of the Primordial World's Tribulations: The Seal Heaven Plan

Among all the tribulations in the history of the Primordial World, the greatest one had actually been Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Zixiao Palace Preaching?

Dao Ancestor Hongjun had another secret plan?

How astonishing was this secret news!

Even Sect Master Tongtian, the Saint Nuwa, the Jade Emperor who ruled the Heavenly Court as the orthodox authority of the Three Realms, and the Queen Mother were all incomparably shocked. A storm had long since been raging in their hearts.

As Saints and Daoist boys at Hongjun's side, they were naturally among those closest to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Yet even they had never noticed anything unusual about Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

But that made sense too. After all, he was Dao Ancestor.

Yunxiao could not suppress her curiosity and asked, "Great-grandpa, what exactly is the Seal Heaven Plan?"

Exactly.

What was the Seal Heaven Plan?

Everyone was extremely curious. They all leaned closer, afraid of missing even a single word.

Such secrets of the Primordial World were probably known only to Zhang Yifan!

"Exactly. What is the Seal Heaven Plan?"

Zhang Yifan smiled faintly. "It's actually easy to understand. Seal Heaven means sealing Heaven, and then Hongjun would reign supreme."

"The tribulations of the Primordial World were actually one part of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Seal Heaven Plan."

"All the tribulations were planned by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. They were not decreed by the Heavenly Dao."

What?

Everyone was filled with uncertainty.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun wanted to seal Heaven? Seal Heaven itself?

Hadn't he merged with the Heavenly Dao?

"Perhaps merging with the Heavenly Dao was also one step of the Seal Heaven Plan?" Sect Master Tongtian suppressed the shock in his heart and muttered to himself.

All the tribulations of the Primordial World were part of the Seal Heaven Plan?

All the tribulations of the Primordial World had been secretly planned by Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

And they had not been decreed by the Heavenly Dao?

The tribulations of the Primordial World had not been ordained by the Heavenly Dao?

Could it really be?!
