Hongjun Accepts Disciples, Ye Jun Publicly Slaps Faces

As Dao Ancestor Hongjun continued to preach the Dao, Ye Jun himself also gained a lot.

Although Hongjun refused to take him as a disciple back then, his understanding of the Great Dao Laws was still very thorough.

"The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven's evolution is forty-nine..."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun uttered every word as he shared his insights from attaining the Dao with everyone.

The Three Pure Ones sat cross-legged on their cushions, Dao Rhyme flowing around them, a sign that they were on the verge of a breakthrough.

All the gods and demons who came to listen to the sermon gained something, to varying degrees, with most of them breaking through their cultivation realms during this opportunity.

Ye Jun, possessing the Sign-in System, naturally did not fall behind.

Time in the Primordial World flowed like a white steed flashing past a crack, rushing by in a hurry.

Thousands of years of preaching passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Dao Ancestor Hongjun on the cloud bed slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the crowd below, he said, "This sermon will conclude here!"

As the last word fell, the comprehension of the Great Dao by the three thousand gods and demons temporarily halted as they looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Although the sermon has ended, if any of you have any questions, this humble Daoist will naturally resolve them for you," Dao Ancestor Hongjun said with a smile, seeing the unsatisfied expressions of the gods and demons.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below erupted in excitement. A Saint resolving doubts!

For a time, many of those who had listened to the sermon were eager to try. They knew that even their own diligent practice could not compare to a single piece of guidance from a Saint.

The Three Pure Ones, at the forefront, were even more thrilled. Taishang Laojun prostrated himself and asked, "Dao Ancestor, if one wishes to become a Saint, what method should be employed?"

Becoming a Saint was extremely important for every cultivator.

For a moment, the gods and demons straightened their postures, afraid of missing anything.

Hongjun understood this clearly and slowly began to speak, "There are three thousand Great Daos. After cultivating them to the extreme, one can prove the Dao and become a Saint."

"However, based on my humble Daoist's experience, the methods of becoming a Saint can be broadly divided into three categories."

"The first category is Sainthood through Merit. By accumulating enough merit, one can communicate with the Great Dao and become a Saint with the power of merit!"

"The second category is the Dao Method of Slaying Three Corpses, like myself. By merging the three corpses into one, one can prove the Dao and become a Saint. The third category, in my humble Daoist's opinion, is the most powerful method of proving the Dao, which is Proving the Dao by Force! Cultivating the Laws and Dao methods to the extreme, this is also the most difficult method of proving the Dao!"

Three methods of becoming a Saint!

Ye Jun nodded as he listened. This was good. If he were to become a Saint, he would naturally choose Proving the Dao by Force! What did it matter if it was difficult?

"Many thanks, Dao Ancestor!" After hearing Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sharing, the three thousand gods and demons said respectfully.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded slowly, signaling that further questions could be asked.

Yuanshi Tianzun kowtowed and inquired, "Dao Ancestor, how many Saints can there be in the Primordial World?"

Ye Jun's brow twitched, and he looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with interest. This fellow really knew how to ask questions!

"Under the Heavenly Dao, nine is the ultimate number. There will naturally be nine Saints in the Primordial World!" Hongjun replied.

Nine Saints?

The three thousand gods and demons all nodded. Tongtian Jiaozhu then asked, "Dao Ancestor, who can become a Saint?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun smiled slightly, waved his large sleeve, and three golden lights descended upon the Three Pure Ones at the head seat.

"Three Pure Ones, you three are the Pangu Orthodox. You can naturally become Saints. Would you be willing to take this humble Daoist as your master?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said slowly.

As soon as they heard this, the faces of the Three Pure Ones lit up with joy. A Saint taking disciples, what a great opportunity! How could they refuse?

"The Three Pure Ones greet Master!" The Three Pure Ones immediately knelt on their cushions and said.

Hongjun nodded with satisfaction. The purple qi in the three golden lights enveloping the Three Pure Ones flashed briefly before entering their bodies.

Hongjun then said, "This is Primordial Violet Qi, which contains the method of becoming a Saint. You three should cultivate diligently and remember not to waste time idly."

"Many thanks, Master. Your disciples obey your command!" The Three Pure Ones immediately bowed in gratitude.

"Nuwa, you will have great fortune in the future and can also become a Saint. Would you be willing to take this humble Daoist as your master?" Hongjun then looked at Nuwa and said.

"Willing, willing! This disciple greets Master!" Nuwa repeatedly expressed her thanks.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded faintly, and then a strand of Primordial Violet Qi shot towards Nuwa.

Seeing this, the three thousand gods and demons all thought that the next one should be that monkey. Regardless of anything else, that monkey's strength was not inferior to the Three Pure Ones! If the Three Pure Ones could become Saints, then that monkey had an even greater chance!

"Ye Jun, you are born with great fortune and will have the opportunity to become a Saint in the future. Would you be willing to be this humble Daoist's registered disciple?" Hongjun looked at Ye Jun and said.

Registered disciple?

The three thousand gods and demons were all dumbfounded. What was going on? Although there was only a two-character difference between a disciple and a registered disciple, their meanings were worlds apart!

Even Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, was completely bewildered. This Monkey had shown his talent since ascending the Dao Steps.

And he was still just a registered disciple?

Everyone racking their brains couldn't understand the mystery behind it.

Ye Jun sneered inwardly. Is he planning to take me as a registered disciple so he can deal with me more easily?

"Dao Ancestor, this humble one is accustomed to traveling far and wide and will not join the Dao Ancestor's sect!" Ye Jun said, cupping his fists.

Outrageous!

The first reaction of everyone hearing this was confusion!

He refused!

Someone actually refused the Dao Ancestor's offer of discipleship!

Even though it was just a registered disciple, this still meant having a tenuous connection with a Saint.

It meant having a backer in the Primordial World, yet this Monkey simply refused!

Nuwa, beside Ye Jun, was also somewhat at a loss. Their previous conversations indicated that Ye Jun was not an arrogant person.

Why would he refuse such an opportunity?

"It matters not!" Hongjun said, his face grim.

Although he said it mattered not, this Monkey had made him lose face!

He had actively offered to take a disciple, only to be rejected. Thinking of this, Hongjun wished he could smash this Monkey to death.

If it weren't for the presence of so many people, would this Monkey dare to be so arrogant?

Ye Jun's refusal was clean and decisive, while Jieyin and Zhunti eagerly looked on. The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa had all joined the Dao Ancestor's sect.

They should also have a spot!

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had no intention of taking any more disciples.

Jieyin and Zhunti hardened their hearts and immediately scrambled to their knees, weeping, "Dao Ancestor, the Western World cannot be without a Saint."

"The Western World is inherently barren and lacks Spiritual Energy. Without a Saint, it will be difficult for the Western World to rise!"

Jieyin and Zhunti wailed and cried, their sleeves soaked with tears.

What the heck!

The three thousand gods and demons were dumbfounded again. What was happening today?

First, Ye Jun refused Dao Ancestor Hongjun's offer of discipleship, and now these two bald donkeys were crying their hearts out.

These two were actually playing the victim card in front of a Saint!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun also looked helpless and could only say, "You two have great perseverance. I can take you two as registered disciples!"
