"Hmph!"

High in the sky, the Yuan Feng Phantom guarding Kong Xuan suddenly let out a cold snort.

This made the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts tremble inwardly as they suddenly remembered that Yuan Feng was still present.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng!"

"This old man wishes to take Kong Xuan as a disciple and offer him guidance. I bear no ill intent!"

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng, I too am willing to wholeheartedly guide Kong Xuan and make him the third Cult Master of the Western Teachings, commanding the entire Western Teachings!"

"..."

Sensing the might of the Yuan Feng Phantom formed from Chaos Flame, Laozi and Jieyin were the first to speak, revealing their intentions.

Yuanshi and Tongtian were unwilling to fall behind and hurriedly stepped forward as well.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng, if Kong Xuan joins the Chan Sect, This Venerable can bestow a Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasure upon him and impart a Supreme Method, ensuring that he attains Saint-level cultivation!"

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng, if Kong Xuan joins the Sect of Interception, This Venerable is willing to teach him how to wield the Immortal Slaying Four Swords. Should anyone in Hong Huang dare harm him in the future, This Venerable will personally intervene!"

In order to take Kong Xuan as his disciple, Tongtian was even willing to give him the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, which had advanced into an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Hearing this, the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts once again revealed envious expressions.

"They're willing to part with an Innate Supreme Treasure?"

"He'll directly become the chief disciple?"

"A Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasure isn't bad either!"

"..."

For the Saints to spend so lavishly in recruiting him as a disciple, Kong Xuan was truly unprecedented and would likely never be surpassed.

Among the Living Beings of the Myriad Races of Hong Huang, even many Quasi-Saint-level experts longed for such treatment.

As for the current Saint's Orthodoxy Disciples, every one of them wore jealous expressions and desperately did not want Kong Xuan to join their respective orthodoxies.

If that happened, would they not be looked down upon?

"My son is not someone you can teach!"

"Do you possess a Chaos Supreme Treasure?"

"Do you possess a Hongmeng Spirit Treasure?"

"Even if you did, would you be willing to give it to my son?"

Yuan Feng's phantom trembled slightly, her voice filled with disdain.

The moment those words were spoken, the Four Saints' expressions changed drastically. That struck far too deeply.

Still, Yuan Feng was not wrong. Let alone the fact that they did not possess treasures of that level, even if they did, how could they bear to give them to Kong Xuan?

"She actually refused?"

"Yuan Feng actually doesn't want Kong Xuan to cultivate under a Saint?"

"She... she gave up such an opportunity?"

"..."

The jaws of the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts nearly dropped, especially Di Jun, Taiyi, and East Prince, who had just tried to recruit Kong Xuan.

The conditions they offered could not even compare to those of the Saints, much less Yuan Feng's demands.

Fortunately, they had not stepped forward, or they would only have humiliated themselves.

"Buzz..."

At that moment, astonishing might emerged in the skies.

The heart-shaking Heavenly Dao Power rapidly gathered, forming an enormous vortex.

Hongjun's figure slowly descended from within the vortex.

"The Heavenly Dao has issued a decree!"

"Kong Xuan's flower has bloomed to twenty-four grade, creating the Grand Luo Extreme Realm. He shall receive a reward of boundless merit!"

"From this day onward, those who advance to Grand Luo Golden Immortal may surpass the nine-grade Flower of Grand Luo. The ultimate limit shall be twenty-four grade!"

The decree of the Heavenly Dao spread throughout all of Hong Huang. Strands of astonishing merit descended from above and enveloped Kong Xuan.

However, Kong Xuan did not directly absorb that merit. Instead, it gathered above his head, supported by the Flower of Grand Luo and unable to enter his body.

This caused the might of the Heavenly Dao to tremble slightly.

Hongjun, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, also narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, the Yuan Feng Phantom formed from Chaos Flame moved swiftly and landed directly in front of Kong Xuan.

The surging might of the Heavenly Dao suddenly stabilized.

Hongjun glanced at Yuan Feng's phantom but did not speak again.

"Do we have a chance too?"

"Grand Luo Golden Immortals will completely change in the future!"

"Why is this happening?"

"I have already stepped into the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm. Does that mean I no longer have such an opportunity?"

"..."

The Myriad Races Experts all cried out.

Some were excited, while others were disappointed.

They had merely forgotten that their own strength was insufficient. Even if the Flower of Grand Luo could bloom to a hundred grades, they still would not be able to achieve it.

At this moment, above the Supreme Hongmeng Palace!

Kong Xuan's Flower of Grand Luo slowly contracted, wrapping up the boundless merit before returning to his body with it.

Kong Xuan's body suddenly shook as astonishing innate Five Elements Power rapidly spread in every direction, radiating formidable might.

Although Kong Xuan was only at the early stage of Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he made quite a few peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal experts tremble inwardly.

Only then did Hongjun slightly raise his head and glance at Kong Xuan.

"Not bad!"

"For Hong Huang to produce such an extraordinary talent is a blessing for the Myriad Races!"

"Kong Xuan, are you willing to enter under This Dao Ancestor and become This Dao Ancestor's seventh disciple?"

As Hongjun's voice fell, the aura around him abruptly surged, faintly merging with the Heavenly Dao Power above and intimidating every living being in Hong Huang.

"What?"

"The Dao Ancestor is taking another disciple?"

"He is the teacher of Saints, yet he also wishes to take Kong Xuan as his disciple?"

"It seems Kong Xuan will certainly enter the Hunyuan Realm and attain a Saint's Dao Fruit. Otherwise, why would the Dao Ancestor speak?"

"..."

All the Living Beings of the Myriad Races of Hong Huang heard Hongjun's voice and cried out in shock.

Back then, the Dao Ancestor had only accepted four formal disciples and two nominal disciples. Those six disciples were the present Six Saints of Hong Huang.

Although there had once been talk of the three thousand Zixiao Palace guests, and those people had also listened to the Dao Ancestor's teachings, they had not even been given the opportunity to become nominal disciples.

"Teacher is taking Kong Xuan as a disciple too?"

"Wouldn't that make Kong Xuan our Junior Brother?"

"This..."

Even the Four Saints behind Hongjun revealed shocked expressions, staring at Hongjun in stunned silence.

Now that Hongjun had merged with the Dao and become the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, was he accepting disciples on behalf of the Heavenly Dao?

"Taking a disciple?"

"Mother, do I need to take a master?"

Kong Xuan was also somewhat shocked, but he immediately looked toward Yuan Feng's phantom and asked.

"No need!"

"Isn't this mother enough to teach you?"

"That is enough. With Mother teaching me, I naturally have no need to take another as my master!"

Upon hearing Yuan Feng's words, Kong Xuan hurriedly nodded in response.

Hongjun's expression sank slightly, and he spoke again. "Yuan Feng, This Dao Ancestor is conveying the decree of the Heavenly Dao. Should you not consider..."

"My son shall be taught by me alone!"

Yuan Feng's phantom trembled slightly, directly enveloping Kong Xuan and carrying him toward the space crack.

"What?"

"The Dao Ancestor is taking a disciple—no, the Heavenly Dao issued a decree for the Dao Ancestor to take a disciple, yet he was rejected?"

"No way?"

"That was a decree of the Heavenly Dao! Did Yuan Feng just directly defy it?"

"This... this is far too thrilling!"

"Hush, look! The might of the Heavenly Dao is stirring. Perhaps punishment will descend!"

"..."

Amid the Myriad Races Experts' shock, Hongjun's gaze darkened. Astonishing Heavenly Dao might emerged around him, releasing terrifying pressure as he abruptly took a step forward.
