Three Thousand Travelers of the Mortal World Gather

Inside Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun had completely refined those three Hun Yuan Great Daos, and his strength had reached the fourth level of Hun Yuan.

Combined with the authority of a Heavenly Dao Sage, his true strength reached the fifth level of Hun Yuan.

"The time for preaching is approaching..."

Hongjun slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to contain flowing galaxies before quickly returning to calm.

During the period of refining the Hun Yuan Great Daos, the Outer Realm Demons in the Great Desolation must have increased significantly. If he could resolve a few for the Heavenly Dao, he might be able to acquire more Hun Yuan Great Daos.

Hongjun's idea was simple: collect the Three Thousand Great Daos, nurture them in his furnace, and perhaps he could achieve the Primordial Limitless.

With a wave of his sleeve, he moved the entire Zixiao Palace into the chaos.

Chaos was boundless, and only those who reached the realm of Grand Unity Golden Immortal could barely traverse it.

This was still due to the characteristic of Grand Unity Golden Immortals being self-immeasurable and their true selves unified.

To put it bluntly, they could constantly resurrect in the chaos, and the damage inflicted by the chaos was not as fast as their regeneration.

Even so, Grand Unity Golden Immortals could get lost in the chaos.

The Three Thousand Travelers of the Mortal World were a fixed number; in the end, only three thousand would arrive at Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun communicated with the Heavenly Dao, disseminated a trace of sage's might, and then broadcast the lines Zhang Hao had given him to the entire Great Desolation:

"High in the ninefold clouds I lie, on a cushion, I understand the Dao's truth."

"Beyond the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth, I shall be the master."

"Pangu gave birth to Taiji, Yin and Yang follow the Four Symbols."

"The leader of the Xuanmen, a single Qi transformed into Hongjun."

"I am Hongjun, now a Saint. Feeling the suffering of all beings seeking the Dao, I shall preach the Great Dao in Zixiao Palace, outside the thirty-third heaven, a thousand years from now. Those who are fated may come and listen."

After doing all this, Hongjun left Zixiao Palace.

He found two primordial chaotic stones and, with a touch, two immortal lights flew into the stones.

Subsequently, these two primordial chaotic stones transformed into two exquisitely carved dolls.

These two were precisely Hao Tian and Yao Chi.

The two quickly bowed and thanked him, "Many thanks, Master, for your enlightenment!"

Hongjun nodded with satisfaction. The two were born with the cultivation of Early Grand Unity, perfect for guarding his palace.

"From now on, you two shall be the attendants of my Zixiao Palace. You are Hao Tian, and you are Yao Chi."

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing our names!" Hao Tian and Yao Chi said gratefully, their large eyes fixed on Hongjun.

This was Hongjun's first time dealing with children. After thinking for a while, he bestowed some high-grade Innate spiritual treasures that were useless to him upon them.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi were overjoyed upon receiving the treasures.

"Alright, alright, go wait outside Zixiao Palace."

Hongjun waved his hand impatiently, but inwardly, he was very pleased with Hao Tian and Yao Chi.

"Yes, Master!"

A thousand years, to the beings of the Great Desolation, was but a fleeting moment.

On the edge of chaos, Zixiao Palace stood majestically, its ancient palace gates tightly shut. Two attendants, Hao Tian and Yao Chi, stood before the gates.

At this moment, streams of light had already begun to break through the chaotic energy and arrive from the chaos, all possessing formidable auras and profound Dao rhymes – Innate divine beings.

The first to arrive were the Three Pure Ones and Li Shou.

Laozi held a whisk, his expression serene.

Yuanshi Tianzun's face was majestic, detached from worldly affairs.

Tongtian Cult Master's brows carried a sharp sword intent.

Li Shou followed closely behind his three elder brothers, appearing slightly nervous.

"A Saint's dojo truly possesses boundless grandeur," Laozi sighed, nodding slightly towards the palace gates.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi stepped forward and said crisply, "Master's decree: the gates of Zixiao Palace are not yet open. Please wait, fellow Daoists."

As soon as they finished speaking, several more streams of light arrived in succession.

Nuwa and Fuxi, brother and sister, possessed elegant demeanor, with the rhymes of creation and Bagua flowing around them.

Following them, two golden lights broke through the chaos – Qin Yuan and Tai Yi. Di Jun, however, was hiding on the Solar Star and refused to come out, no matter what.

Qin Yuan's gaze swept over everyone present, comparing their appearances to the figures in the Great Desolation novels he had read.

Tai Yi's eyes were filled with eagerness, especially when he saw Nuwa, Xi He, and Chang Xi arrive shortly after, radiating a cool and transcendent aura. He became even more invigorated.

However, Xi He treated him as if he were invisible, while Chang Xi directly gave him a glare and tightly held Xi He's arm.

Tai Yi's lips curled, and he thought to himself: Xi He is still such a tsundere!

Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi, the old friends, also arrived. Hong Yun was still boisterous, while Zhenyuanzi was much more composed.

Ming He, the Ancestor of the Sea, arrived on surging waves of blood, his killing intent palpable and drawing everyone's attention.

Kunpeng transformed into a black-robed Daoist, his gaze sinister as he stood alone in a corner.

In a moment, dozens of top powers from the Great Desolation had gathered before Zixiao Palace, the weakest being at the mid-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Their auras intermingled, yet they remained distinctly separated.

Li Shou quietly observed everyone, his heart filled with both excitement and apprehension.

These were all legendary figures!

His gaze swept across the crowd, suddenly pausing on Qin Yuan and Tai Yi.

Were these two Di Jun and Tai Yi? They weren't what he had imagined.

Why did Di Jun look so sleazy, constantly staring at the female immortals of the Great Desolation? And Tai Yi, why was he still a seven or eight-year-old child?

Qin Yuan sensed the gaze and turned his head, offering a friendly smile.

Li Shou quickly averted his eyes.

After a few more moments, twelve fierce and powerful auras approached from afar, their killing intent piercing the sky. It was the Ancestor Witches arriving together!

Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, Zhu Rong, Gonggong, Xuanming... Although the true forms of the Twelve Ancestor Witches were not fully revealed, the overbearing pressure emanating from Pangu's essence blood still caused many of the great powers present to frown.

Chen Tian followed at the end, his aura concealed, appearing gentle and refined, clashing with the rugged Ancestor Witches around him.

His gaze swept over the Three Pure Ones, lingered on Li Shou for a moment, then passed over Qin Yuan and Tai Yi as he quickly calculated in his mind.

"Yo, aren't these the four Daoist friends transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit? You're quite early," Gonggong said with a grin, his voice like a booming bell, as he caught sight of the Three Pure Ones.

Yuanshi's expression darkened, and Tongtian let out a cold snort.

Laozi's eyelids flickered slightly, but he said nothing.

Although Li Shou hated these Ancestor Witches, he knew he was no match for them, so he simply ignored their provocations.

He had only reached the mid-stage of Grand Unity in his cultivation so far.

The atmosphere grew somewhat tense.

Just then, another figure arrived.

It was Xuan Qing, holding a piece of green lotus leaf, his expression sorrowful yet tinged with a hint of malice.

Xuan Qing's gaze was fixed on the Three Pure Ones, lingering particularly on Laozi for a long time before resentfully moving away. He stood to the side.

Qin Yuan, meanwhile, shrank into a corner, silently reciting, "Winds and clouds gather before Zixiao Palace, three thousand guests surge in hidden currents! Suspected entanglements of love, old grudges, and interests intertwine, the grand play begins!"

"Points +1"

Seeing that the time was drawing near, Hao Tian and Yao Chi exchanged a glance and said in unison, "The time has come. Master will begin his lecture. The palace gates are opening, esteemed Daoist friends, please enter."

As their voices fell, the seemingly ordinary gates of Zixiao Palace silently swung inward, revealing hazy auspicious light and endless Dao charm within.

Everyone's spirits lifted. They no longer cared about the subtle atmosphere between them and transformed into streams of light, surging into the palace gates.

Inside the palace was a vast and boundless world of its own. Only a high platform stood at the very front, with six cushions arranged in a row below it.
