Honghuang: My understanding is beyond heaven, I am the ancestor of the stars.

Chapter 51 Hongjun: It's a mess, Taihao messed up all the plans

"I, the Taoist priest, am known as the founder of the Xuan Sect. Is it a coincidence that you founded the Taixuan Sect?"

Tai means extreme.

It means higher and bigger.

Then isn't Taixuanmen more mysterious and profound than Xuanmen?

"No! This is definitely not a coincidence!"

Hongjun never thought that Taihao would actually establish a religion at this time, and the timing was stuck at the second sermon!
How can he preach after this?

Originally, the three thousand guests of Zixiao were a little uncertain about whether there was a second saint-level existence in the prehistoric world. But when they saw Hongjun's reaction at this moment, they knew that their guess was most likely correct!

Hunyuan is almost equivalent to a saint!
For a moment, Zixiaoke, who was preparing to listen to the lecture on the great Dao, became a little impatient.

But in this situation, Hongjun had to explain.

Because the matter of establishing a religion involves several saints appointed by heaven!
He is responsible if the interpretation is biased or if the wrong suggestion is given.

So after pondering for a while, Hongjun spoke slowly.

"Establishing a religion is to teach sentient beings. This is also the case when I preached the Dao in Zixiao Palace. If you have the opportunity in the future and are blessed, you can also establish a religion! If you are lucky enough, the Heavenly Dao may bestow great merits on you!"

Educate all living beings!

There will be great merit!
At this moment, Zixiaoke understood.

Not only that, they even had some little ideas.

Since the sage Hongjun can preach, what about the great Taihao who has attained the Hunyuan? Isn't it the same?

If this is true, after this sermon is over, wouldn’t it be wonderful to go to the Great Master Hunyuan and listen to his sermon again?

The only thing that is still a little confusing is the difference between Hunyuan and a saint, and where Taihao came from.

It’s still me, he spoke again.

"May I ask, Saint, who is this great being called Taihao?"

When this question was asked, Zixiaoke became the same as before, and everyone waited attentively for Hongjun's answer.

Although they were not clear about the relationship between Hongjun and Taihao, judging from the fact that both sermons were affected, their relationship should not be very good.

But it is often this subtle hostile relationship that can give a more objective judgment.

After all, if the relationship is too good, it is easy to flatter, and if the relationship is too bad, it is easy to slander.

This is the most appropriate way.

It was in this situation that Hongjun spoke slowly.

“Taihao… is a fellow Taoist of mine. He transformed later than me, but he started to attain enlightenment before me. He also has a great spirit and perseverance that I don’t have! If you have the chance to see him, you will know that he is a great master with supernatural powers that are no less powerful than me!”

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, Zixiaoke's face showed an expression of understanding.

Sure enough!

Since he is a fellow Taoist, he must be someone who is no weaker than a saint.

So the question is, since it is not inferior to a saint, what is Hunyuan?
It was still Laozi, and he had become the leader among the Zixiao guests.

"May I ask the saint, what is Hun Yuan and what is a saint? If we have the opportunity to attain enlightenment, what should we choose?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

Even though the highest level of cultivation among the Zixiao guests is only at the peak of Daluo, or slightly higher, this does not prevent them from setting their goals further.

What if he attains enlightenment?

It was after this question was asked that Hongjun's expression became even more indifferent.

Apparently, his preaching plans were disrupted because of Taihao.

Originally, the matter of attaining enlightenment was to be mentioned during the third lecture, but now that the second lecture had just begun and was still a long way from the end, Lao Tzu had asked about it first.

He couldn't answer no, but he also couldn't not answer, so he was caught in a dilemma.

But Hongjun had seen big scenes after all, so he quickly calmed down, but felt a little sad in his heart.

"It is said that the general trend is difficult to change, but a Hunyuan Transcendent plus a spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao can, to some extent, manipulate the general trend!"

"Now that things have come to this, let's combine the two and three talks into one!"

In an instant, Hongjun made the decision.

The reason for this was not entirely because Taihao leaked the "secret", but also because he felt a sense of urgency.

Taihao established a religion at this time, clearly intending to challenge him and compete with him.

In other words, it's a showdown.

"In this case, let's merge with the Dao as soon as possible!"

On the high platform, Hongjun's expression showed neither sadness nor joy.

No one knew what he was thinking. In the eyes of the three thousand guests, he just pondered for a moment and then gave the answer.

"Hunyuan means Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and the same is true for saints!"

"But the saint is Hunyuan, but Hunyuan is not the saint! The saint is the fruit of the heavenly way, but the primordial spirit can be placed in the heavenly way. The heavenly way is immortal, and the saint is immortal!"

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, Laozi immediately asked further questions.

"Hunyuan is unable to entrust his soul to the Heavenly Dao?"

"No!"

Hongjun nodded expressionlessly.

"Thank you very much, Saint, for clearing up my doubts!"

I quickly saluted, and then an idea came to my mind.

"In this case, the one who attains enlightenment should be a saint! Not a primordial being!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian also had the same idea as him.

This also includes most of the Zixiao guests. In their opinion, a saint who can entrust his soul to the way of heaven is definitely more powerful than a simple Hunyuan. But they don't know that the saint's status is limited, and there are many constraints, which is not as beautiful as imagined.

But then again, for the vast majority of Zixiao guests, as long as they can attain enlightenment, there is no difference between a saint and a Hunyuan.

In this situation, Hongjun ignored any inquiries and started preaching directly.

This time, he not only wants to teach the Three Corpses Quasi-Saint's method, but also wants to teach the Saint's Hunyuan Dao, and at the same time he wants to distribute the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

As for the impact of the two sermons being combined into one…

“Once the old Taoist has achieved the Dao, I will naturally smooth things over one by one!”

Time flies, and thirty thousand years pass in a flash.

When Hongjun finished his sermon, most of the Zixiao guests were still in enlightenment and had not awakened. It was not until another ten thousand years later that cultivators began to wake up one after another.

All in all, 40,000 years had passed since this sermon!
It wasn't that Zixiaoke was not good at understanding, but that history had changed. Logically, there was a gap in between for them to digest what they had learned from the sermon, but Hongjun, for some reasons, compressed the two sermons into one!
That's why this situation happened.

But generally speaking, the general situation of the prehistoric world has not changed much.

And when everyone woke up, many of the three thousand Zixiao guests had broken through from Daluo to Quasi-Sage.

There is no need to say much about the Three Pure Ones. They have extraordinary comprehension and were among the first group to kill the good corpses.

Next up is Jie Yin and Zhunti. Although their comprehension is not as good as the Three Pure Ones, because they are sitting on the cushions in the front, they can hear what Hongjun says more clearly, so their breakthroughs are not slow.

After that, there were Fuxi, Dijun, Taiyi and others.

These people also have talent and understanding, and are not much weaker than the Three Purities. They are just a little slower because they are in different positions.

However, compared with other Zixiao guests, they are still much faster.

Among the three thousand Zixiao guests, less than one tenth of them could kill a corpse and break through to the Quasi-Saint level within forty thousand years, not to mention that there are still many cultivators who don’t even have the spiritual treasures needed to kill a corpse!
Basically, the further back you are in the position, the less you will understand about the Three Corpses Method!
But there are exceptions to everything. The person who has the least understanding of the Three Corpses in Zixiao Palace is not the last one, but
Nuwa sitting on the first seat!

"Thank you for your preaching, Saint. After 40,000 years of enlightenment, Nuwa finally achieved a small success in the Visualization of Freedom Method! She has broken through to the Quasi-Saint level!"

Nuwa did not forget her roots. After waking up from her enlightenment, the first thing she did was to thank Hongjun.

She did not practice the Three Corpses Technique, but she could learn from it and fulfill her master's instructions.

So gratitude is necessary.

Although Hongjun did not need her thanks, he even hoped that she would shut up.

Didn’t you see that the Zixiao Palace was silent?
After Nuwa expressed her gratitude, the Zixiao Palace was silent. Even Fuxi was stunned, let alone others.

"The saint is preaching. You are the first seat, but not only do you not learn the great way of beheading corpses, you are actually practicing other evil ways. Do you not take the saint seriously?"

Yuanshi was the first to speak up, his tone righteous and eloquent.

But Nuwa was not afraid at all. Instead, she had a cold face and spoke in a cold voice.

"This is my master's way of proving the truth, but you say it's a heresy? If so, do you have the guts to say this again in front of my master?"

"Your master..."

Yuanshi suddenly stopped and couldn't help but take a breath.

Who is Nuwa's master?
Taihao!

Nowadays, who doesn’t know that Taihao is the great Hunyuan?
And he attained enlightenment before Hongjun!

Saying that his method of attaining enlightenment is unorthodox, doesn't the implication are that there is something wrong with Taihao's method of attaining enlightenment?
For a moment, Yuanshi was speechless.

I opened my mouth, not knowing how to refute.

If he doesn't speak up, where will he put the face he lost again?

Just when he was in a dilemma, Hongjun spoke.

"There is no distinction between high and low in the way of attaining the Tao. Only the cultivators who practice the method can distinguish between high and low. If you two have any disputes, you can resolve them outside the Purple Sky Palace!"

After hearing this, Yuanshi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Is Hongjun encouraging them to resolve the issue privately?

And it is through fighting?
But this presents a problem for Yuanshi, making him even more embarrassed.

That is, Nuwa has the great power of Hunyuan as her backer, but Yuanshi does not!

No matter how conceited Yuanshi is, he would not have the confidence to compete with Hunyuan when he has just broken through to the quasi-saint level.

But just as he was thinking about this, Hongjun spoke again.

“Although this sermon has ended, there is still one thing left to do!”

"Saint, please speak!" Laozi said hurriedly. He had a hunch that this matter must be complicated.

"I have said before that a saint is Hunyuan, and a saint is not Hunyuan. But do you know how to become a saint?"

Sanctify!

Everyone was startled and quickly concentrated their attention, fearing to miss a single word.

"The primordial spirit of a saint can be entrusted to the Way of Heaven, so if it is not recognized by the Way of Heaven, it can be a mixed origin, but it cannot be a saint!"

"May I ask, Saint, how can I gain the approval of Heaven?" Yuanshi asked impatiently.

"I am the spokesperson for Heaven and I teach all living beings on behalf of Heaven. Therefore, my disciples can naturally gain the recognition of Heaven!" Hongjun said indifferently.

But after hearing this, the three thousand guests of Zixiao could not remain as calm as him. They all bowed and knelt and shouted in unison.

"I beg the Saint to accept us as his disciples!"

"You all should stand up. Nine is the maximum number. Under the Heavenly Dao, there is a maximum of nine saints. However, the Heavenly Dao escaped one, so there are still eight saints left! Therefore, apart from the old Taoist, there are at most seven disciples under your tutelage!"

Seven at most?

In other words, seven more saints can be born between heaven and earth?
In an instant, the hearts of the Zixiao guests tightened.

Seven saints, is that enough for their three thousand guests from Zixiao?

Even if we exclude Nuwa, aren't there still more than 2,900 people?

The seven saintly levels are not enough to be shared, okay?
