Lin Yunji, Favored by Hongjun

"That's right, Nüwa Sister Nuwa, do you know why that brat didn't come here?" Cult Master Tongtian also asked Lady Nüwa what was going on.

After all, this was a summons from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and Lin Yunji was unable to attend. If his teacher found out, he would definitely be angry with him.

"This..." Lady Nüwa hesitated for a moment, unsure how to address the matter.

Could it be that Little Bamboo went to do something else important? As for whether Teacher Hongjun likes him or not, Lin Yunji said he doesn't care.

However, if this were said aloud, regardless of whether Teacher Hongjun liked or disliked Lin Yunji, he would likely be very angry.

Lady Nüwa managed a weak smile at the end, "Little Bamboo's matter is rather important, so she couldn't come to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to her teacher Zhao Huan! As for what exactly it is, I'm not entirely sure!"

This excuse is quite plausible!

This at least shows that Lin Yunji wasn't unwilling to obey his teacher's summons, but rather that he genuinely had something else on his mind that prevented him from coming. Even Lady Nüwa didn't know what this important matter was.

"What on earth is so important to this brat that it's more important than the teacher's orders!" The Cult Master Tongtian's face darkened, and he said angrily.

"Could it be... that my nephew has found the fortuitous opportunity to attain enlightenment!" The eyes of the Primordial Celestial Venerable suddenly lit up.

As soon as he finished speaking, many of the powerful figures present immediately turned to look at him, their faces displaying a variety of expressions.

There was surprise, astonishment, and even jealousy!

Just then, the figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared on the Dao platform.

However, it doesn't seem to be Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself, but rather a faint and ethereal phantom that appears and disappears on the Dao platform, as if it were a human figure formed by light.

He remained completely calm, glancing lightly at all the Sage and powerful figures present.

When his gaze fell upon those Sage and powerful beings, they were all terrified, none daring to utter a word, much less to make any casual remarks.

"Teacher!"

At this moment, Zhunti suddenly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and said, "This disciple has something to say to you!"

"What is it?" Hongjun asked without any expression on his face.

"Our teacher summoned us, and we've traveled a great distance to come here, not daring to delay even a moment." The wooden figure in the center of the text shimmered with golden light, exhaling a breath as sweet as a lotus, and slowly spoke, "But one disciple disobeyed our teacher, making excuses that he had personal matters to attend to and therefore did not come. He disobeyed our teacher's summons; what right does he have to be our teacher's disciple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Three Pure Ones Lady Nüwa, Houtu, Houtu, and Zhen Yuanzi's expressions suddenly change, and they all felt a sense of foreboding.

None of them expected that Zhunti would be so shameless, saying such things at this time, clearly targeting Lin Yunji!

Some powerful beings, such as Dijun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Kunpeng, could even smirk with glee.

"Zhunti, how could you..."

The Cult Master Tongtian immediately flew into a rage, his eyes wide and round like copper bells as he glared angrily at Zhunti.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, please don't be angry. I was just saying what I really meant, without a single lie. It was all the truth, and I didn't mean anything by it!"

Zhunti smiled and said, "We have all received the teacher's kindness, so we should respect him. Now that the teacher has summoned us, all the great powers and Sage have come, why shouldn't he come?"

"To come here without listening to the teacher is extremely impolite and disrespectful!"

This statement was very sharp; with just a few simple words, it slapped a very serious label on Lin Yunji's head.

The expressions on the faces of the Three Pure Ones and the others changed drastically.

If Lin Yunji really gets such a terrible reputation, there could be a huge potential disaster!

Therefore, whether it was Laozi, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, or the Lady Nüwa, they all immediately and quickly stood up.

He addressed Old Ancestor Hongjun, saying, "Teacher..."

"Sit down first!" Before they could finish speaking, Hongjun interrupted them.

Although the tone of the Dao Ancestor Hongyun was ethereal and calm, it carried an undeniable air of authority!

"This..." Upon hearing this, the Cult Master Tongtian became very anxious and wanted to say something more.

"Third brother, let's sit down and listen to our teacher!" Laozi and Primordial Celestial Venerable immediately calmed down and quickly brought Cult Master Tongtian down so that he could sit down first.

Lady Nüwa, Houtu, and Zhen Yuanzi exchanged glances, and finally could only grit their teeth and sit down.

Upon seeing this scene, many powerful figures and Sage present immediately revealed expressions of schadenfreude.

They seemed to already see Dao Ancestor Hongjun's anger, and they seemed to already see the scene of Lin Yunji being severely punished by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

They lack manners and don't know how to respect their teachers!

Whether in their eyes or in the eyes of other Sage or great beings, this is a very serious crime!

"Hurry up and sit down!" Hongjun suddenly glanced indifferently at Zhunti, his tone equally cold.

Just that one glance was enough to Zhunti, as if his Primordial Spirit had been seen through in that instant.

It felt like being looked down upon; every hair on Zhunti's body immediately stood on end.

"Yes, I will obey the teacher!"

Zhunti didn't dare to say another word. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting, then sat down.

"Those of you who came are all connected by fate, and those who didn't may also have other connections!"

"The arising and ceasing of phenomena are all part of the Tao!"

After Zhunti sat down, Dao Ancestor Hongjun calmly continued, "There's no need to mention this matter again!"

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, all the powerful beings and Sage present were astonished. Although they dared not say anything more, they exchanged glances, their faces showing surprise.

Because Hongjun's meaning was very clear. "Whether you come or not is up to you; coming here will be fortuitous opportunity, and not coming here will also be fortuitous opportunity!"

And for some reason, they always felt that Hongjun's words carried a hint of bias.

As the agent of the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao, Hongjun is supreme, so how could he not know that Zhunti person Zhunti and the others were talking about was Lin Yunji?

Even so, Hongjun did not blame him at all, which meant that he was biased towards Lin Yunji.

But they soon became confused.

Hongjun once said that the Heavenly Dao has no mercy, so after merging with the Dao, he, like the Heavenly Dao, only cared about justice and had no mercy!

Unfortunately, I don't know why there's a subtle bias towards Lin Yunji.

Even the most powerful and Sage pondered this for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and eventually had to put it aside.

He thought to himself, "How can Lin Yunji be so lucky? Even after all this, Hongjun doesn't blame him!"

Three Pure Ones and the others immediately relaxed, inwardly exclaiming how lucky they were.

However, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others looked extremely pale, as if they had swallowed flies.

"Senior Brother, Teacher, this isn't fair!"

Well!

Upon hearing this, Jieyin's face showed bitterness, and he sighed deeply, "In the end, the teacher is the leader of the Mysterious Sect. How could he casually blame his own disciples? So how could he possibly hear that there is no affection and that the Heavenly Dao is unfair?"

Zhunti felt increasingly resentful. "Since Master has already attained the Dao, it should be the Dao for everyone. Why is he still showing favoritism towards Lin Yunji? It's extremely... unacceptable!"

If Jieyin knew Zhunti was thinking at this moment, his expression would definitely change drastically.

To dare to say that Master Hongjun is unwell over such a trivial matter is utterly disrespectful!

This shows just how much resentment Zhunti towards Old Ancestor Hongjun for favoring Lin Yunji!

Even if it's not outwardly apparent, the thought has already formed in one's mind.

On the other side, Dijun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi Jieyin, and Zhunti all had similar expressions.

They even hated Lin Yunji more than Zhunti Jieyin, since Lin Yunji had been their enemy several times and almost killed Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"Brother, I think Hongjun is clearly biased towards that brat Lin Yunji." Eastern Emperor Taiyi gloomy voice, "Back then, that brat broke into my Sun God Temple, destroyed my formation, killed our Demon Race god, and almost killed my master, yet he wasn't angry with him!"

"Hmph!" Upon hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's words, Dijun let out a cold snort, saying nothing more, but a Binghan killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"I wonder what business the master has with us?" Knowing that Old Ancestor Hongjun did not intend to blame Lin Yunji, Laozi was in an extremely good mood, stood up, cupped his hands, and asked Hongjun.

Upon hearing this, other powerful beings or Sage ceased to care about Lin Yunji's matter and were immediately distracted.

After all, a large portion of them were neutral and had no grudge against Lin Yunji.

Even though Hongjun was very biased towards Lin Yunji, he was at most somewhat envious and jealous.

Before the endless ages began, Primordial Expanse first appeared, before the wonton was split open.

After countless ages, Chaos was finally split open, but the Heavenly Emperor had not yet appeared!

"From its very beginning, when it appeared in a hazy, unknown state, it gave birth to the great god Pangu and three thousand other Chaos demons within the Chaos!"

"At the same time, it also gave birth to five great treasures of Chaos, one of which is the Pangu Axe, another is the Chaos Azure Lotus, the Earth-Cleaving Chisel, the Jade Butterfly of Creation, and the Chaos Pearl!"

"Pangu relied on the power of his physical body to become Hunyuan Great Dao Sage, slaying demons and creating the world. Pangu Axe transformed into the Taiji Diagram, and Pangu Mountain and the Chaos Azure Lotus, along with many Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure during the Great Calamity of Creation, also transformed into the most powerful weapons of the Heavenly Dao. Although the Jade Butterfly of Creation was somewhat damaged, I obtained it and used Earth-Cleaving Chisel, making it the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords. Only the Chaos Pearl is still missing!"

But in reality, the Chaos Pearl can give birth to Chaos World and also has the ability to travel between heaven and earth.

"I was guided by the Heavenly Dao and sensed that he had escaped to a derivative world during the momentous creation of the world!"

This derived world is a fragment that fell from the very beginning when Primordial Expanse first envisioned it!

"I don't know its name, but you can call it the Primordial Expanse Small World!"

"Besides the Chaos Pearl, there are also many Primordial Expanse moving around inside; it's incredibly mysterious!"

"Even after experiencing the cataclysmic disaster of creation, it was not damaged in the slightest, and even a corner of the sky and earth was swept away?"

"Unfortunately, only beings below the level of Hunyuan Heavenly Dao Sage can enter this Primordial Expanse Small World and obtain this fortuitous opportunity!"

"As the saying goes, the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine. One of them is needed, and this one is greater than forty-nine. It is extremely mysterious!"

The Old Ancestor Hongjun, sitting on the Dao platform, spoke words that carried the sound of the Dao, lingering for three days.

Countless flowers fell from the ceiling, and golden lotuses emerged from the ground!

Although it wasn't a sermon, various forms of spiritual fortune were still appearing, which were quite mysterious.

Below, countless Sage and great beings listened with rapt attention, their faces filled with excitement and exhilaration.

Their eyes were filled with longing for that Primordial Expanse Small World!

From the words of Old Ancestor Hongjun, they learned a very big secret.

That is, within this Primordial Expanse Small World, there is not only a great deal of Primordial Expanse purple qi, but also an extremely powerful Chaos Supreme Treasure — the Chaos Pearl.

But it's the Chaos Pearl!

Old Ancestor Hongjun once said that even her Jade Butterfly of Creation had been damaged.

Moreover, it contains so much Primordial Expanse purple qi!

Whether they obtain the Chaos Pearl or the Primordial Expanse purple qi from it, it would be an enormous fortuitous opportunity for them!

In that case, there's absolutely no need to worry about attaining enlightenment!

Therefore, at this moment, none of the Sage and great men present could calm down. Their minds were completely stunned, and their faces were filled with longing!

"Teacher, may I ask where that Primordial Expanse Small World is now?" Zhunti asked hurriedly, his hands trembling slightly.
