Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 41 The Belated Arrival of Jieyin and Zhunti

At this moment, most of the cultivators in Zixiao Palace were discussing the cultivation methods on the stone tablet, using it as a basis for their discussions. Even the Three Pure Ones were no exception. It seemed that they had found the stone tablet from other places because of their great fortune.

But Di Jun and Tai Yi looked completely bewildered and confused.

"The Enlightenment Stele?"

"The Enlightenment Stele?"

"Why doesn't the Sun have this?"

The Sun Star naturally has an Enlightenment Stele, but before Di Jun and Tai Yi could see it, it was taken away by a cultivator who also came from the Sun Star.

Why take it away?

Of course, it was to sense the energy of the stone tablet in order to find the master's whereabouts.

However, Di Jun was unaware of all this.

At this moment, he could only stand there with Taiyi, looking around in bewilderment, not understanding what they were talking about, let alone discussing the Dao.

Discussing the Dao?

What kind of philosophy is this?!

Di Jun now desperately wants to hear the Dao so that he can make up for the missed opportunity with the stone tablet.

Then, as he listened, he was puzzled.

Since the Enlightenment Stele is so perfectly natural, seemingly the work of the Heavenly Dao, why is it not on their Sun Star?

After hundreds of years of "eavesdropping," Dijun gained some insights, but also felt even more distressed.

He discovered that the two goddesses he had seen long ago actually came from the Taiyin Star!

Since Di Jun already had a suitable Daoist partner in his heart, this was not a big deal. What made Di Jun unhappy was why Taiyin Star had an Enlightenment Stele, but their Taiyang Star did not.

At this moment, the two goddesses from the Taiyin Star were digesting the insights gained from their discussions with other Daoist friends over the past thousands of years.

at the same time……

They also admired the creator of the Enlightenment Stele.

"Sister, this Enlightenment Stele is truly amazing! If it weren't for it, I might not have reached the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal when I transformed into human form!"

Changxi smiled radiantly, praising the Enlightenment Stele with admiration.

"Of course!"

Xihe nodded in approval, "Not only you, but even I am not infinitely close to the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm!"

Xihe was fully aware of her origins.

Although she is a primordial deity, she is not considered one of the top primordial deities.

For example, she couldn't see through four of the six innate deities sitting at the very front. She was even more shocked when she learned that three of them were the transformed spirits of Pangu.

Although she didn't understand the little girl on the head seat, the Three Pure Ones were only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm when they transformed into human form. It was already quite remarkable that she could approach the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm.

At least she was satisfied.

Therefore, they felt even more grateful to and longed for the creator of the Enlightenment Stele.

"I truly don't know what kind of powerful being could forge such a magnificent Enlightenment Stele, so that so many of us fellow Daoists here can benefit from it! Could it really be the will of Heaven?"

Changxi both dreamed and speculated.

"It can't be the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao were to intervene, there's no way anyone wouldn't have seen the Enlightenment Stele," Xihe said, shaking her head.

"That...is a saint?"

The sage is also known as Hongjun.

Since he is the only one in the world to have achieved sainthood, it is perfectly acceptable to use him as a representative of himself.

After Changxi finished asking the question, Xihe frowned slightly and then shook her head.

"It shouldn't be a saint. When the Enlightenment Stele appeared, I was fully conscious, and I remember that powerful being's aura very clearly; it was definitely different from that of a saint!"

If he's not a saint, then there's only one possibility.

"Could it be the one who appeared when the Heavenly Dao shackles appeared?" Changxi guessed again.

"Possibly!"

"Doesn't that mean... that great being attained enlightenment earlier than the sages, and even the Heavenly Dao can't do anything about it?" Changxi's eyes shone brightly as she suppressed her divine sense fluctuations as much as possible and conveyed her words to Xihe.

Under these circumstances, hundreds or even thousands of years passed before the Zixiao Palace began to change.

That is to say, more cultivators arrived.

These were two extremely disheveled figures. Despite possessing the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, they were now disheveled and ragged, as if they had suffered some great calamity.

Especially the cultivator with the naturally bitter face, whose face was full of sorrow, as if everyone owed him karma.

These two were none other than Jieyin and Zhunti.

In truth, the two of them had encountered countless hardships and dangers along the way.

Just as Zhunti heard the discussions taking place inside Zixiao Palace, his heart skipped a beat; he had missed two beats...

Is the sermon over?

He and Jieyin arrived too late; not only could they not "eat meat," but they couldn't even get "soup." Thinking this, Zhunti, who already had a bitter look on his face, looked even more distressed, and then burst into tears.

He cried and shouted at the same time.

"Senior brother, we two have come from the West, enduring eighty-one tribulations, hoping to seek the Great Dao for the sake of the Western beings, so that the West could recover from its barrenness. But we have suffered so many hardships, not only has our cultivation been damaged, but we didn't even hear the last words of the sage's teachings! What should we do?"

It must be said that Zhunti has a great talent for acting, and coupled with the fact that he has indeed experienced a lot of hardships, what he said at this moment was even more tragic than in the history of the prehistoric world.

Although the vast majority of cultivators did not feel anything, there were exceptions.

Hongyun, after hearing half of it, felt a surge of compassion and even empathized with the situation, so she spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist, do not panic! The sage has not yet appeared, and the sermon has not yet begun. You still have a chance to seek the Great Dao for the West!"

"so?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhunti's eyes, and he asked again.

"So what were you discussing just now?"

"The Enlightenment Stele! A naturally formed treasure of merit, even a Grand Luo cultivator can gain considerable insights from it!"

"Such a magical treasure exists in the primordial world?"

Zhunti's eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with disbelief, before turning sorrowful once more.

"Alas! Is the West truly so barren? Not even a single Enlightenment Stele can be found! And that's not all; it's much farther from Zixiao Palace than other places, so much so that even after arriving so late, we can't find a spot! It seems that Heaven truly does not favor the West! In that case, I might as well just die!"

As he spoke, Zhunti even considered inducing the five signs of decay in the Great Deity and thus abandoning his own cultivation!

Seeing this, Hongyun's expression changed repeatedly. Finally, she gritted her teeth and stood up from the prayer mat.

"I admit I am inferior to you, fellow Daoist, lacking your great wisdom and perseverance. Since you are seeking the Great Dao for the West, what harm is there in giving this seat to you?"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Zhunti quickly thanked him and then sat down in Hongyun's seat as fast as he could.

At this point, Hongyun lost her seat.

Hongyun never imagined that her act of kindness would lead to her death!

It was right after he offered his seat that Zhunti quickly grabbed it.

Zhunti then turned his gaze to the Kunpeng beside him, his tone displeased, "This is Zixiao Palace, where sages preach. How dare you, a mere feathered beast, sit in the front row? Get up now and give my senior brother his seat!"

In the entire prehistoric world, perhaps only Zhunti has such a thick skin.

After seizing one seat, they immediately set off to seize the first one.

As soon as Zhunti finished speaking, an angry expression appeared on Kunpeng's face.

He certainly had reason to be angry, after all, what Zhunti said wasn't exactly kind.

Just as he was wondering if he could keep his seat amidst the combined attack of Jieyin and Zhunti, another voice rang out.

The voice carried an intense arrogance, along with undisguised disgust.

It is the beginning!

At this moment, Yuanshi frowned and reprimanded.

"This fellow Daoist is right. How dare you, a hairy beast born from a wet egg, sit with us? Get out of here at once!"

Upon hearing this, even if Kunpeng was very unhappy, he could only obediently get up.

Although neither Laozi nor Tongtian spoke or expressed their opinions.

But once they start fighting, they will definitely help Yuanshi, plus Jieyin and Zhunti, making a total of five beings with higher cultivation levels than him!

If there are two, Kunpeng can still rely on its speed to maneuver.

But if all five of them come together...

At this moment, Kunpeng chickened out.

The prayer mat that he originally occupied was now occupied by Jieyin.

In the process of coming and going, the cultivators on the six prayer cushions were exactly the same as in history, except that their positions had changed.

Zhunti was still the last one, but Nuwa became the first!

The three thousand guests of Zixiao have remained largely unchanged, except for the order in which they arrived and the significant changes in their cultivation levels. The most obvious change is that their cultivation levels have increased considerably.

Because of the Enlightenment Stele, which did not exist in the history of the primordial world!

However, while the vast majority of the three thousand Zixiao guests were discussing the Enlightenment Stele, there was also a small group whose feelings were quite complicated.

As for Di Jun and Tai Yi, there's no need to elaborate; they've already passed the period of grief over missing their opportunities.

Jieyin and Zhunti, on the other hand, had a worried look on their faces, seemingly because they had never experienced the Enlightenment Stele, which made them appear somewhat sorrowful.

In fact, let alone the fact that they managed to get two prayer mats despite arriving so late, they were already incredibly lucky, or rather, extremely fortunate, to even be able to come to Zixiao Palace.

because

Those who helped them to Zixiao Palace at this moment also had complicated feelings.

"Taihao has become so powerful?"

"This place is far from the depths of chaos, by more than a billion great worlds, yet even so, he doesn't need to descend into his true form; with just a few strands of his mind using divine powers, he can fight the old Taoist priest on his home turf to a standstill?"

"What if his true form returned from chaos to the primordial world?"

Hongjun, who had just led Jieyin and Zhunti back to Zixiao Palace during his battle with Taihao, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Although there was some expectation of Taihao's strength.

But when both of them successfully attained enlightenment and were fighting solely with their minds, Hongjun realized that he had underestimated Taihao.

At least this time, if it weren't for his home-field advantage, he might have remained adrift in chaos for who knows how long!

Even so, it took him thousands of years to finally rescue the two.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use his full strength, but that once he did, it would be tantamount to admitting that he was weaker than Taihao.

Although it's similar now, there are still some differences.

"The only option now is to take that step!"

"Only by relying on the power of the Heavenly Dao can I firmly suppress Taihao in the prehistoric world!" Thinking this, Hongjun's figure gradually manifested in the Hall of Preaching.

In an instant, the discussions at Zixiao Palace came to an abrupt halt, and everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of an aura.

Then came a series of bows.

"I have met the Sage!"
