Bah! What Dogshit Dao Ancestor!

The first step of the Heaven Sealing Plan, the secrets of the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, were narrated by Zhang Yifan.

Listening to him, everyone was terrified, so much so that they all sat down on the ground.

So this was the first major tribulation of the Primordial Era!

Sect Master Tongtian and Saint Nuwa felt their scalps tingle. Was their teacher, Hongjun, truly so disgusting?!

Dao Ancestor?

Did that bastard even deserve to be called the Dao Ancestor?

Bah!

"Bah! What kind of bullshit Dao Ancestor is he!"

Yang Jian cursed viciously, "Even a beast is a hundred times better than him!"

"Exactly!"

The Seven Fairies, the Three Xiaos, and Zhao Gongming all nodded in agreement.

The image of Dao Ancestor Hongjun plummeted in everyone's minds.

"Grandfather, what's the second step of the Heaven Sealing Plan?" Yang Jian asked.

Since the Heaven Sealing Plan had seven steps, there were definitely more to come.

"Yes, yes, Grandpa, quickly tell us, what is the second step of the Heaven Sealing Plan? What is its purpose?" Sect Master Tongtian also nodded repeatedly, very concerned about the entire Heaven Sealing Plan.

"The second step of the Heaven Sealing Plan is much simpler and clearer,"

Zhang Yifan said with a smile, "It is: the Dao-Demon Conflict."

"The Dao-Demon Conflict? The struggle between Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohu?" Saint Nuwa asked in surprise. That was also a step in the Heaven Sealing Plan?

"Little Lunlun is right!"

Zhang Yifan patted Nuwa's head, praising her, and continued, "The three races, who were immensely powerful and prosperous on the Primordial Continent, were annihilated through the combined efforts of Hongjun and Luohu. Naturally, the two of them became arrogant."

"At first, the two could still cooperate. But with their common enemy destroyed, their own conflict naturally resurfaced."

"Of course, even if they didn't have a conflict, Hongjun would have specifically made an enemy of Luohu."

"Specifically made an enemy? Why?" the Jade Emperor asked curiously.

"After the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the remnants of the Chaos Divine Beasts and the Primordial Fierce Beasts were almost wiped out. But for Hongjun, it wasn't enough. There were still some beings with the roots of Chaos Demon Gods in the Primordial Era."

"Inciting a mortal struggle with Luohu was not only to vie for the position of the supreme ruler of the Primordial Continent and the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, but also to take the opportunity to make a group of top Primordial powers choose sides."

"This was a battle among the top predators of the Primordial Continent."

"The purpose was to eliminate the remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods and those powerful beings with Chaos Demon God roots, so that there would be no more individuals with Chaos Demon God roots in the Primordial Era."

"Grandpa, I have a question."

Sect Master Tongtian asked doubtfully, "Is Dao Ancestor Hongjun really that wary of these remnants of Chaos Divine Beasts, Chaos Demon Gods, and Primordial Fierce Beasts? Why did he want to exterminate them completely? Wouldn't it be better for Hongjun to recruit these people with powerful roots under his command?"

"You've discovered a blind spot. Hahaha, Little Tongtong, very good!" Zhang Yifan praised, pointing at Sect Master Tongtian.

"I just suddenly thought of this," Sect Master Tongtian said, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise.

Zhang Yifan smiled mysteriously, "Why exterminate them completely? This relates to Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins. Once his origins and roots are known, no one will obey him."

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins and roots?"

Everyone exclaimed.

On the Primordial Continent, no one knew anything about Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins!

No matter what his background or roots were, countless Primordial powers had tried to investigate and uncover them, but none had obtained even a shred of information!

They hadn't expected Zhang Yifan to know this secret!

As expected of a Great Dao Saint.

"Father, what exactly are Hongjun's origins?" the Jade Emperor quickly asked.

"Let's talk about the Heaven Sealing Plan first. Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins will be discussed later," Zhang Yifan said, shaking his head and smiling.

Oh, come on.

The Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, the Queen Mother, and others were a little disappointed, wishing they could know immediately.

Seeing their reactions, Zhang Yifan appeased them, "This matter is of great consequence. If you know it now, it will only cause trouble. It's possible that tomorrow, while walking on the road, you might be struck to pieces by heavenly lightning that suddenly descends from the sky."

"We are all mortals. We cannot get too deeply involved in the affairs of gods and demons. I am doing this for your own good."

"Yes, Father," the Jade Emperor nodded.

Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, and the others stopped asking.

Being able to know about Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Heaven Sealing Plan was already an extraordinary thing.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins were indeed extremely secret, as Zhang Yifan had said, and of great consequence.

No one had been able to uncover it for billions of years, and it was likely that Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself was behind this scheme.

If this matter were revealed now, it would probably attract Dao Ancestor Hongjun's pursuit.

"The first step of the Heaven Sealing Plan was to eliminate the remnants of Chaos Divine Beasts and Primordial Fierce Beasts. At the same time, this catastrophe was defined as the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, introducing the concept of Primordial Tribulations. From then on, Hongjun had the right to interpret the Heavenly Dao. Whatever he said was law, and no one could refute it."

"The second step of the Heaven Sealing Plan was the Dao-Demon Conflict. This not only set the Primordial Continent on the path of the Xuanmen world but also annihilated the remnants of Chaos Demon Gods and those with the lineage of demon gods. Thus, Hongjun completely cleared the influence of Chaos Divine Beasts and Chaos Demon Gods on the Primordial Continent!"

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and summarized.

"Not bad, not bad, a very good summary! You truly are my son," Zhang Yifan nodded and praised.

This son of his was quite clever.

"Of course, it's all thanks to Dad's excellent genes, it's inherited, hahaha," the Jade Emperor chuckled proudly.

Seeing Zhang Yifan and the Jade Emperor praising each other, the Queen Mother, the Seven Fairies, and the others couldn't help but chuckle.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun also had some impressive methods. He precisely eliminated the races he wanted to eliminate, achieved his various goals, and even managed to distance himself from it, preventing any suspicion." Sect Master Tongtian exclaimed, a shiver running down his spine.

Thinking back now, the open and secret struggles, the schemes and tricks among the Saints seemed utterly laughable.

What were the plans of Saints compared to Dao Ancestor Hongjun? They were practically child's play!

"Dao Ancestor's planning is truly astonishing," Saint Nuwa agreed with Tongtian's sentiment.

"Dad, after the Heaven Sealing Plan, doesn't it lead to the preaching at Zixiao Palace next?" the Queen Mother continued, guiding the conversation.

Just now, Zhang Yifan had mentioned that the biggest and most terrifying Primordial Tribulation was the preaching at Zixiao Palace.

And after the Dao-Demon Conflict, Hongjun would achieve sainthood and preach at Zixiao Palace.

"That's correct," Zhang Yifan nodded.

Here it comes!

Sect Master Tongtian, Saint Nuwa, Old Ancestor Qilin, the Dragon Ancestor, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the others were all shaken.

"During the Dao-Demon Conflict, Hongjun was already a half-step Saint. Not long after killing Luohu, he achieved sainthood with the help of the Jade of Creation."

Zhang Yifan continued, "After becoming a Saint, Hongjun's might shook the Primordial Era, and his strength became paramount in the Primordial Continent."

"More importantly, all the great powers of the Primordial Era had no method to achieve sainthood. But Hongjun did!"

"Who wouldn't want to become a Saint?"

"Furthermore, Hongjun was very clever. The preaching at Zixiao Palace didn't start immediately. It was scheduled to begin three thousand years later!"

"Do you know why?"

"Why?" the Jade Emperor and the others asked curiously.

"Of course, it was to thoroughly spread the news of Hongjun achieving sainthood and preaching throughout the Primordial Continent, so that all races and all beings would know about it!"

"From the highest heavens to the deepest underworld, there would be no one who didn't know, no one who wasn't aware!"

"The world would know that Hongjun was the foremost in the world! The sole supreme being of the Primordial Continent! And this supreme being was going to lecture and impart knowledge to all beings in the Primordial Continent for free, without any compensation!"

Zhang Yifan laughed, "This was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's publicity work for the preaching at Zixiao Palace, and he did it very well."

"With such excellent publicity, all the great powers naturally rushed over, willingly stepping into his trap!"

Hiss!

Stepping into Dao Ancestor Hongjun's trap?

Sect Master Tongtian and Saint Nuwa both gasped.

Weren't they the ones who eagerly rushed to attend the lecture back then?

They even went several hundred years early, afraid of missing it.

So, it turns out they walked right into a trap?

Why?
