Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 43: Granting Treasures in Advance, Dong Wanggong Asks Questions
Hongjun finally finished speaking without being interrupted by the two Western Buddhists. This made Hongjun breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, the Taoist Zhunti stood up and spoke with a face full of bitterness and hatred.

"If Daozu could accept my brother and me as his disciples, we two brothers would be more than happy to do so."

"But my western part is too poor, and I can't even find a decent innate spiritual treasure."

“Even if I learn the way to slay the three corpses from Daozu, I don’t have the innate spiritual treasure to entrust the three corpses.”

Although Zhunti Taoist didn't say that they didn't want to take Hongjun as their master, the implicit meaning of his words was equivalent to telling Hongjun, "You can accept us as your disciples, but you have to produce the innate spiritual treasure."

Hongjun was so angry about this that he gnashed his teeth. He had originally planned to wait until the third lecture before dividing the treasure, but now it seems that he may not be able to wait until then.

After all, if even the two Western Buddhists don’t want to take me as their master, then I would be really embarrassed.

At the same time, Hongjun also felt that the innate spiritual treasures he bestowed upon the two Western Buddhas would surely change the minds of the Three Pure Ones.

So he did not hesitate and took out many magic weapons such as the blessing pestle, the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Flag, the innate rosary, etc., all of which were of the innate spiritual treasure grade.

"These innate spiritual treasures are given to you two for self-defense. They can also be used to kill the three corpses and prepare for future sainthood."

Finally, he took out an innate treasure and gave it directly to the Western Second Master. He also did not forget to speak.

"This treasure is called Yindharani Pagoda. It has forty-nine innate restrictions. It contains eighty-four thousand methods and can suppress the fortune of a great sect."

The two Western Buddhists never dreamed that Hongjun could actually bestow upon them an innate treasure. For a moment, they were filled with immense joy.

The Taoist Jie Yin did not hesitate at all and was ready to step forward to thank Hongjun and take these magic weapons into his hands.

But he was stopped by the Zhunti Taoist beside him. Zhunti Taoist bowed to Hongjun again and said.

"Thank you, Master, for the treasures. But even with these magical treasures, my brother and I may not be able to achieve enlightenment and become saints."

"After all, the western spiritual veins are now completely destroyed, and my brother and I need to sort out the veins of the earth. Therefore, it is difficult to find time to calm down and practice."

At this moment, Zhunti Taoist was telling Hongjun that the West had been destroyed by you. It was absolutely impossible to use these magical treasures to get rid of us.

Hongjun also understood that Zhunti Taoist was taking the opportunity to blackmail him. But he had no other choice now.

He sighed and said, "Back then, the battle between the demons took place at Mount Xumi in the west. Ultimately, Luo Hou's self-destruction destroyed the entire western spiritual vein."

"Although all this was caused by Luo Hou, I was also involved in it. I can be said to have been somewhat affected by the cause and effect."

"Today, I will bestow upon you two strands of primordial purple energy to help you achieve enlightenment and become a saint soon. This will help you better organize the western earth veins."

While speaking, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, and two streams of primordial purple air instantly flew out of his hand and went directly towards Taoist Zhunti and Taoist Jieyin.

As the primordial purple energy entered their bodies, the two Western monks instantly understood what primordial purple energy was. Now, without further ado, they knelt on the ground.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greeting." As he spoke, he performed the great salute between master and disciple to Hongjun.

Hongjun nodded in satisfaction, reaching out to help the two Western Buddhists to their feet. He then turned his gaze towards the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. "This primordial purple energy is the foundation of the Great Dao. Those who possess it can become saints. I wonder if you have considered whether you would like to accept me as your master?"

As he spoke, four strands of primordial purple energy appeared in Hongjun's hands, along with several innate spiritual treasures, floating in the air.

This is temptation, naked temptation. As long as the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa now worship Hongjun as their master, not only the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but also those innate spiritual treasures will also belong to the four of them.

This inevitably made everyone present jealous, and the Duke of Dong secretly clenched his fists. He even spoke.

"What virtue and ability do the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa have to be so ungrateful? The Dao Ancestor is so sincere, are you still hesitating?"

As soon as Dong Wanggong finished speaking, Di Jun and Tai Yi also stood up. After scolding the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, they knelt directly in front of Hongjun.

"Daozu, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa are so ignorant that they are unwilling to accept Daozu as their master. My two brothers are more than happy to accept you as their disciple. Please accept us as your disciples."

Hongjun naturally had no intention of accepting Dijun and Taiyi, but at this moment, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa had a look of determination on their faces and had no intention of compromising.

For the sake of his own dignity, Hongjun could only speak: "Since you two are willing to take me as your master, I will accept you as my registered disciples."

Afterwards, he took out several innate spiritual treasures and gave them to Di Jun and Tai Yi, but he did not send out the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

At this time, everyone finally reacted and hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging Hongjun to accept them as disciples, even if it was just nominal disciples.

Seeing this, Hongjun felt that he had regained some of the face he had lost. He immediately spoke to the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.

"I won't force you to do anything. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer next time I give a lecture at Zixiao Palace."

After he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, but directly said: "There are countless creatures in the prehistoric world, but now there is no one to manage them."

"Today, I will choose the leader of the male and female immortals from among you to manage the prehistoric world on my behalf."

As soon as Hongjun said this, Dijun and Taiyi stood up. Dijun said directly, "Master, I am not talented, but I am willing to be the leader of the male immortals."

Hongjun shook his head at Dijun, then looked at Dong Wanggong and spoke.

"Dong Wang Gong is the incarnation of pure yang energy, and can be regarded as the leader of the male immortals in the prehistoric world. He was given a dragon-headed cane as a token of command for the other immortals."

"The Queen Mother of the West is the incarnation of pure innate Yin energy. She is considered the leader of the female immortals of the ancient world. She was given a golden hairpin as a token of her command over the other immortals."

As he spoke, he waved his hands towards the Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother, and the two innate spiritual treasures fell into their hands.

The Queen Mother of the West bowed and thanked Hongjun without hesitation, but the King of the East spoke directly.

"Daozu, I wonder how this junior can command the male immortals of the prehistoric world? Is it by status or cultivation?"

"If we go by identity, I am just one of the three thousand people with predestined relationships, not a disciple of the Dao Ancestor. If we go by cultivation, I don't have the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so I can't achieve enlightenment and become a saint."

"Without status and strength, how can this junior make the prehistoric male immortals submit? How can I manage the prehistoric male immortals on behalf of Daozu?"
