Hongjun waved his large hand, and Qing Xuanzi felt the scene before him change, arriving in a gray, hazy space.
Within the Heavenly Dao Space, a large eyeball stared at Hongjun's Primordial Spirit and said, "Hongjun, what are you doing?"
"Heavenly Dao, aren't you being a bit too nosy? I'm having a chat with my disciple, and you're interfering?"
"Hmph, that disciple of yours is full of schemes. I hope you don't do anything you'll regret."
"Regret? I regret it now. I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place and harmonized with this troublesome Dao."
"You have no choice now. You should know that cooperating with the Heavenly Dao has boundless prospects. Don't entertain any other thoughts."
Hongjun's Primordial Spirit closed his eyes, remaining silent, clearly having grown tired of hearing such words from the Heavenly Dao.
In another space, Hongjun conjured a set of chairs and brewed two cups of Enlightenment Tea.
"It smells so good, Master. Is this the legendary Enlightenment Tea?"
"Stop pretending, kid. How could you not know? What haven't you seen in the Chaos?"
Qing Xuanzi awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Damn it, I overdid the act.
"Drink it. We'll talk after you finish. I don't have much of this stuff here, so don't even think about trying to get more."
Clearly, Hongjun had seen through Qing Xuanzi's little scheme again.
"Um, Master, you really don't have any more?"
"No. Are you going to drink it or not? If not, I'll put it away. This is the Taisu Space, it's very safe. You can say whatever you want here."
Hearing Hongjun say this, Qing Xuanzi was stunned. Taisu Space? Only a Mixed Origin Taiji Great Luo Golden Immortal could use it. Could it be...
"Stop thinking nonsense. I haven't reached the Heavenly Dao realm yet. I just borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao in the Heavenly Dao Space."
Upon hearing this, Qing Xuanzi sighed and took a sip of the tea, feeling a refreshing coolness spread throughout his body.
The surrounding Great Dao laws seemed clearly visible.
Qing Xuanzi knew he had entered a rare state of Enlightenment.
He immediately focused his mind, his Primordial Spirit power spreading outwards, carefully sensing everything.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but white mist began to rise from Qing Xuanzi.
The white mist enveloped Qing Xuanzi, rising and falling with his long, deep breaths.
Hongjun's smile was wide. He was very satisfied with Qing Xuanzi, his final disciple.
The Three Pure Ones had also drunk the Enlightenment Tea, but none of them had entered a state of Enlightenment.
It seemed he hadn't been mistaken. Qing Xuanzi, his final disciple, would definitely achieve the highest level in the future.
As for how high he could reach, he didn't know.
Because Qing Xuanzi had entered with prior cultivation, Hongjun didn't know what cultivation technique he practiced.
He only knew that the cultivation technique Qing Xuanzi practiced should be related to Great God Pangu.
Then it must also be a top-tier cultivation technique.
Suddenly, Qing Xuanzi's body trembled, and a wild, ancient aura emanated from within him.
Like a bursting dam, it instantly filled the entire space.
Hongjun quickly formed a sealing incantation, reinforcing the entire space.
Then, he looked at Qing Xuanzi with a smile, unable to hide the joy on his face.
After a long while, Qing Xuanzi opened his eyes and saw the smiling Hongjun.
"How is it? How does it feel to be a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
Qing Xuanzi didn't answer, but instead gave Hongjun a proper and respectful bow, saying, "Disciple thanks Master for the grace."
"No matter, it is all your own destiny. The Three Pure Ones and Nüwa also drank the Enlightenment Tea back then, and they drank it at the Quasi-Saint Peak like you. It's a pity they didn't have the fortune to enter the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."
Qing Xuanzi was also very clear about this point. Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal is a realm, while Saint is merely a fruit position.
A Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal possesses Saint battle power and is not controlled by the Primordial Era's Heavenly Dao, making them a free being.
Although they don't have the guarantee of immortality like Saints.
However, in the Primordial Era, the only one who could currently erase Qing Xuanzi was the Heavenly Dao.
Perhaps Hongjun also had a way.
With Qing Xuanzi possessing the Blessing Seed, the Heavenly Dao would not make a move.
Hongjun was even less likely to, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out the Enlightenment Tea to give Qing Xuanzi this opportunity.
Throughout the entire Primordial Era, Qing Xuanzi was now free to roam, and no one could destroy him.
This was also the main reason Qing Xuanzi was grateful to Hongjun.
"Regardless, disciple's achievement is entirely due to Master's grace."
"Alright, let's get to the serious matter. What is it that requires such caution?"
"Master, when Pangu's True Body disintegrated, disciple received Pangu's Last Words: This Heavenly Dao is not that Heavenly Dao."
"What?" The teacup in Hongjun's hand slipped and fell.
His snow-white eyebrows twitched incessantly. Hongjun was so shaken by this short sentence that his mind was in disarray.
After a long while, he slowly recovered.
"Did Great God Pangu leave any plan?"
"Yes, Pangu's Last Words instructed that it must be completed within 100,000 years. Master, do you know what 100,000 represents? I always feel there's something strange about it."
Hongjun slowly nodded. He believed Qing Xuanzi's words even more now.
"After 100,000 years, I will enter the Dao Harmonization Nirvana Stage. All who harmonize with the Dao must go through three stages: Fusion, Nirvana, and Dao. Among them, the Nirvana stage is the most dangerous. If one is not careful, everything will be lost."
"Nirvana, Nirvana." Qing Xuanzi kept repeating the word Nirvana.
He thought of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors after the Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, and the Journey to the West Tribulation.
Their actions were a world apart compared to the current Hongjun.
At this time, Hongjun would still think of bestowing Enlightenment Tea upon his disciples.
After the Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Hongjun bestowed Saintfall Pills, and even his disciple Tongtian was completely confined in the Purple Cloud Palace.
During the Journey to the West, there was even less to say; Hongjun's shadow wasn't seen at all.
There was another point of doubt: after the Witch-Demon Tribulation, Hongjun completely confined the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
On the surface, the Saints thought it was to prevent the resurgence of the Human Dao.
In reality, it was entirely in preparation for the Heavenly Dao to devour the Human Dao.
If the Saints knew, they would definitely stop it.
The Tian, Di, and Human Dao are the foundation for the existence of cultivators in the Primordial Era; none can be missing.
If even one Dao is missing, the Era of Dharma Decline will arrive.
At that time, even Saints will inevitably fall into slumber, permanent slumber, a slumber from which they will never awaken.
What is the difference between this and death?
"Must, will definitely enter Nirvana?"
"Must, definitely. So Great God Pangu was absolutely right. Our plan must be completed before a hundred thousand years, which is actually before the Witch-Demon War."
Hongjun paused, then continued, "Besides me, there are six Saints in the Primordial Era."
"Laozi won't exert himself even if he knows. At most, he won't help either side."
"Yuanshi cannot help you. Even if he knows that the Heavenly Dao has mutated, he will follow Tian."
"It's best not to drag Tongtian into this, otherwise it will be his life-or-death tribulation."
"All of this is determined by the temperaments of the Three Pure Ones; it cannot be changed, otherwise they wouldn't be Pangu's Primordial Spirit."
Hongjun was Hongjun after all. He knew every move of the Three Pure Ones like the back of his hand.
According to Qing Xuanzi's understanding from his previous life, it was basically as Hongjun said, with little difference.
Hongjun continued, "As for Jie Yin and Zhunti, these two cannot be trusted. It would be good if they don't hold us back."
"There is only one left, and that is Nüwa. She is the only Saint from whom you can get help, the Saint who will fully help you."
Hongjun's analysis was fierce like a tiger, instantly eliminating five of the six Saints, leaving only Nüwa.
"Do you understand? In the Qing Tian Plan, the only Saint who can help you is Nüwa," Hongjun finally said.
