Primordial Era: Reborn as Taiyi, I Don't Need Brothers

Chapter 42 Hongjun is called the Immortal Ancestor, and the Eastern King Duke is conferred the title of the First Immortal.

Dao Ancestor?

In later generations, Hongjun was always referred to as the Dao Ancestor!

This name originated from Zixiao Palace!

We don't know who specifically made the suggestion!

Now, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly stepped forward and wanted to give Hongjun a title!

Although some people were puzzled, some of them acknowledged the title of Dao Ancestor.

This group was especially led by Lao Tzu and others!

Therefore, when the Eastern King Duke uttered these words!

Yuanshi was the first to stand up and agree, saying, "Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong is right. Sage Hongjun has benefited all living beings and deserves the title of Dao Ancestor!"

Laozi nodded in agreement and stood beside Yuanshi, showing his support for his second brother.

Tongtian looked at his second brother with a surprised expression!

Hongjun's sermon was quite good, but calling him the ancestor of Taoism is a bit much!

After all, in the primordial world, the God Ancestor still exists. You are not called the Demon Ancestor, but the Ancestor of the Demonic Path! You are called the Dao Ancestor, but the Ancestor of all paths! Your title is too grand.

But since his two older brothers agreed, he, as the younger brother, couldn't object!

After all, they're brothers; I can't undermine them in public!

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace at this moment!

Everyone was naturally grateful to Hongjun after listening to his sermon!

Therefore, no one voiced any objection to the title of Dao Ancestor!

"Dong Wang Gong!" Hongjun's voice echoed leisurely.

"Disciple is here, Dao Ancestor, please speak!" Dongwanggong was also quite excited when he heard Hongjun call him.

Dongwanggong had done a lot of mental preparation before stepping forward to bestow an honorific title upon Hongjun!

After all, if this is done well, it will be a meritorious service to the emperor; if it is done poorly, he will be a treacherous minister and a rebellious son!

Although there is no such saying in the prehistoric world, if three thousand cultivators hear this, they will probably spread the word about my actions throughout the prehistoric world, and then I will probably not be able to face anyone!

Therefore, when he heard Hongjun call him, Dongwanggong was quite uneasy.

"Dongwanggong, you are a manifestation of innate pure Yang energy, possessing the aura of a king. Today, I bestow upon you the supreme treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron, and appoint you as the head of all immortals in the primordial world, responsible for managing all immortals under heaven!" Hongjun said, waving his hand, and the Qiankun Cauldron appeared in Dongwanggong's hand!

At this moment, the Eastern King was so excited that he trembled all over!

He won this gamble, and won big! The Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme treasure left behind by the Qiankun Ancestor! Although it has no offensive capabilities and can only be used for passive defense, it is an innate supreme treasure with the power to restore one's original nature!

Of course, the most important thing is not the treasure, but Hongjun's appointment of him as the head of the immortals in the primordial world, allowing him to manage all the immortals in the world!

Does that mean that all those who come to listen to the sermon today will be under the control of the Eastern King?

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones looked very grim! Especially Laozi!

Lao Tzu, one of the Three Pure Ones, needs to listen to you? What are you thinking?

"Disciple bows in gratitude to the Dao Ancestor, wishing the Dao Ancestor a long and prosperous life!" The Eastern King Duke knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly!

Hongjun smiled and nodded, about to disappear!

This was a case of Hongjun spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones; Dongwanggong was the first to stand up for Hongjun, so Hongjun reciprocated.

As for the Queen Mother of the West?

The Queen Mother of the West did not come this time; instead, she listened to the teachings in the Heavenly Court! The King Father of the East and the Queen Mother of the West were originally friends, but this time they chose to listen to the teachings separately and exchange their insights upon returning home—a tactic employed by both parties.

"Wait a minute, I don't think this title is appropriate!" Amidst the harmonious sounds, a clear female voice rang out.

It was Nuwa who came to listen to the teachings!

The Dao taught by Hongjun was very beneficial to Nuwa, which made her cultivation progress very quickly!

But the term "Daozu" reminded him of Taiyi, the person in his heart!

Even Taiyi only dares to be called the God Ancestor, so what makes you think you can call yourself the Dao Ancestor? You're not qualified either!

"What's wrong, Nuwa? You have a problem with the Dao Ancestor?" Dongwanggong suddenly stood up, looked at Nuwa, and showed displeasure! The reward that Hongjun gave him was so generous, wasn't it all because of the title "Dao Ancestor"?

Now there are actually people opposing it!

"Sage Hongjun is a Sage of the Heavenly Dao. The essence of a sage's cultivation lies in truth. Since the Heavenly Dao does not have the power to suppress all other Daos, the title of Dao Ancestor is naturally undeserved. If we were to forcibly bestow an honorific title upon him, it would only make us a laughingstock," Nuwa said, neither humble nor arrogant, and she even looked at Hongjun instead of at Dongwanggong.

Hongjun looked at Nuwa, his expression neither sad nor happy! He did not answer!

His natural way is not now the time for the Heavenly Dao to suppress all other paths! When the Divine Dao of Primordial Chaos appears, the Heavenly Dao will already have an opponent!

The scene became awkward for a moment. Hongjun was neither sad nor happy, and remained silent, but his gaze toward Nuwa was as if he were looking at a dead person.

Nuwa felt like she had a thorn in her side. If she spoke now, she would have already offended Hongjun. She absolutely could not back down!

"In your opinion, fellow Daoist, should we call her a Sage?" At this moment, Tongtian stepped forward and helped Nuwa out of her predicament!

He had known Nuwa since their time in Heaven, and he still felt the title of Dao Ancestor was inappropriate. Therefore, his words at this moment helped ease the awkward atmosphere in Zixiao Palace.

"In my opinion, since the Sage Hongjun has imparted the methods of cultivating immortality and expounded on the path to transcendence, why not honor him as the Immortal Ancestor?" Nuwa gave Tongtian a grateful look, and then said to everyone.

Ancestor of Immortals?

Compared to the Dao Ancestor, the Immortal Ancestor is actually more suitable for Hongjun! The Dao Ancestor is a symbol representing the Heavenly Dao, while the Immortal Ancestor better explains Hongjun's Dao! Immortals are independent of the world, not within the Three Realms, and transcend the Five Elements! The Immortal Ancestor Hongjun is indeed suitable.

"Greetings, Immortal Ancestor! I think it's very fitting that Sage Hongjun is called Immortal Ancestor. Greetings, Immortal Ancestor!" A loud voice rang out from the side.

However, the Ancestral Witch, who had been asleep for nearly three thousand years, woke up and loudly agreed with Nuwa's suggestion!

"My brother and I also think the Immortal Ancestor is wonderful!" Jieyin and Zhunti spoke up at this moment. They expressed their support for Nuwa; what could they do? Nuwa was the major shareholder. If they didn't support her, they feared they wouldn't be able to pay off their debts in the future!

"I also think the Immortal Ancestor is very good. Eldest brother, second brother, what do you think?" Tongtian nodded with a smile, while looking at Laozi and Yuanshi.

"Hmm, that's fine!" Seeing his third brother ask a question, Yuanshi wanted to say something, but Laozi had already nodded in approval.

With the support of Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Ancestral Witches, Laozi naturally chose to stand with the vast majority of people.

The core of non-action is to always stand on the side of the victor.

"Immortal Ancestor, Immortal Ancestor!"

"Immortal Ancestor, Immortal Ancestor!"

At this point, Nuwa, Tongtian, and the Ancestral Witches were already top-tier combatants in the prehistoric world! They all acknowledged this, and naturally, everyone else agreed as well!

The voices of the immortal ancestors rose and fell.

"I wonder what you think of this title, Sage Hongjun?" Nuwa asked Hongjun.

"That's settled then," Hongjun said, before disappearing without a trace.

"The sermon is finished. Please leave now!" Haotian's voice rang out, officially announcing the end of the sermon.

Everyone gained something, but the Eastern King Duke gained the most.

He obtained a supreme treasure and an imperial decree from the Immortal Ancestor, which is why he ran the fastest!

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, Taiyi had already finished his sermon! The people of the Heavenly Court were already waiting at the entrance to Chaos for the return of those who had listened to his teachings.
