Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 114 The New Dao Ancestor, Hongyun Transmits the Law

This is similar to when Hongjun merged with the Dao; in an instant, he transformed from a sage into the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, there are differences. For example, Hongjun merged with the Dao, transforming himself into a part of the Heavenly Dao, while Hongyun was different; Hongyun was the entirety of the Heavenly Dao.

At the same time, Hongyun also gained a better understanding of the world's hierarchical divisions, realizing that the endless world was already the limit of a single universe.

Above that lies the multiverse, a collection of multiple individual universes.

And an even larger super-multiverse, and ultimately, the legendary infinite multiverse that can transcend chaos and surpass it.

Hongjun began to pass on his knowledge to Hongyun, transferring the authority of the Primordial Heavenly Dao. A giant World Tree also appeared behind Hongyun.

It complements the Jade Tablet of Creation.

And so, after an unknown amount of time, on this day, countless powerful beings and saints in the primordial world, and even Houtu, the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, suddenly received a message from the Heavenly Dao.

He then led everyone to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Thirty-three heavens away, the Purple Cloud Palace was clearly visible there.

The incident caused a stir among all parties, who were quite surprised, as the Zixiao Palace had not appeared for a very long time.

After Hongjun preached three times, it can be said that apart from the saints, no one else went to Zixiao Palace.

Now, the Zixiao Palace has reappeared, and everyone is invited to go there again.

In an instant, streaks of light appeared from all corners of the Three Realms, heading towards the Purple Cloud Palace.

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld, Zhen Yuanzi was a guest, discussing the Dao with Houtu Niangniang.

Upon receiving the message from Heaven, Zhen Yuanzi frowned, thinking to himself, "Hongyun hasn't returned since that incident. Although he has an avatar in Qingjing Heaven and told me everything is fine, now Master Hongjun is sending us to Zixiao Palace. Could it be that something is about to happen?"

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Houtu Niangniang again and asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you also received the message?"

Houtu Niangniang nodded.

Zhen Yuanzi then said, "Since that's the case, why don't we go together?"

Houtu Niangniang nodded again, but when they set off, there were twelve more people, namely the twelve ancestral witches.

At that very moment, in Zixiao Palace, the saints who had arrived first were all staring blankly at the figure on the platform in front of them.

The person sitting on the platform was not the familiar Hongjun, but Hongyun!

"Junior brother, where is our teacher?" Sage Taiqing asked Hongyun, suppressing his shock.

Upon hearing this, Hongyun opened his eyes, looked at the Taiqing Sage, then at the other sages, and calmly said, "Hongjun left the prehistoric world and entered the chaos. He is no longer the Dao Ancestor, but a demon god."

Upon hearing this, all the saints were greatly alarmed.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable couldn't help but blurt out, "How could this be?"

Looking at the red cloud on the platform, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask, "Sixth Junior Brother, have you now merged with the Heavenly Dao?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked again, and they looked at Hongyun with disbelief.

Without saying much, Hongyun suddenly produced a jade tablet that rose up slowly, radiating great light.

The dazzling light, the rolling laws, and the terrifying pressure finally left all the saints with no more doubts.

Hongyun has succeeded Hongjun and become the new Dao Ancestor.

The Sage Taiqing hesitated only slightly before bowing to Hongyun and saying, "Disciple greets Master."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Tongtian Sect Master, the Goddess Nuwa, the Sage of Reception, the Sage of Zhunti, and other great beings who had also entered the Zixiao Palace, such as Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanhong, all hurriedly bowed down.

"Everyone, please sit down and wait for the others to arrive," Hongyun said.

Upon hearing this, everyone responded and took their seats. However, the seating arrangement in front of the platform was also carefully considered.

Suddenly, many futons appeared throughout the Zixiao Palace, but the most eye-catching were the eight futons in front of the altar.

In addition to the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti sitting down in order, there were also two futons.

It was clearly meant for Zhen Yuanzi and Houtu.

This is a futon that only those at the Hunyuan level can sit on.

As more and more powerful figures arrived, they were all astonished when they saw the red cloud on the platform.

However, seeing that the six saints were all sitting silently, the other powerful beings also dared not utter a sound. Following the order in which they entered the palace, they also sat down on the prayer mats one by one.

After a while, Zhen Yuanzi and Houtu Niangniang also arrived.

Both of them were greatly surprised to see that it was Hongyun sitting on the platform, not Hongjun.

"Sit down!"

Hongyun said to the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi sat on the seventh prayer mat, and then the Earth Goddess hesitated for a moment before sitting on the eighth prayer mat as well.

The twelve ancestral witches sat behind them.

And so, with all the powerful beings having arrived, the gates of Zixiao Palace closed automatically.

On the platform, Hongyun glanced at all the powerful beings below. These powerful beings were all the strong individuals in the entire prehistoric world whose cultivation was above the level of Daluo Jinxian.

There were more than 16,000 people.

Hongyun nodded slightly and said, "In pursuit of the Great Dao, Hongjun has relinquished his status as the Dao Ancestor, withdrawn from the Dao Integration, and returned to Chaos. Now I am the new Dao Ancestor. Do you all submit to me?"

When Hongyun said this, everyone was still shocked, even though they had guessed it beforehand. However, after the shock subsided, everyone, including the saints, stood up and bowed to him.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor Hongyun!" the crowd exclaimed in unison.

Clearly, no one objected. Not even the sages. Because at this moment, Hongyun had obviously surpassed them completely and was no longer a sage.

Instead, it also became the way of Heaven.

Even a sage can only bow his head before the will of Heaven.

"very good."

Hongyun looked at everyone, nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, then as the new Dao Ancestor, I have a few things to do."

"The first thing is to redefine the realms of cultivation."

"A redefinition of cultivation realms?" Upon hearing this, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.

The Sage Taiqing asked, "May I ask, Master, how should this be redefined?" Everyone looked at Hongyun.

Hongyun said, "Basically, there won't be too much change, except for those above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level."

"The realm system that Hongjun previously established was based on the severing of the three corpses, and added the realm of Quasi-Saint above the Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"However, I intend to modify it. Hongjun's law is the law of severing the three corpses, while my law is the law of the world."

"What is the Law of the World? It is to take a great world as one's foundation, evolve the world, and make the world gradually grow and advance, which in turn naturally leads to the strengthening of one's own cultivation."

Hongyun then began to explain his own way of the world to everyone.

Now he has succeeded Hongjun as the new Dao Ancestor, and naturally, he must spread his Dao and his methods throughout this primordial world.

Otherwise, why would he be called the ancestor of the Dao?

As Hongyun recounted his story, everyone finally understood why Hongyun's cultivation, especially his magical power, was so terrifying.

It can be said that Hongyun's method of this world is a method of enlightenment that is in no way inferior to the method of severing the three corpses.

It should even be easier.

Because the method of severing the three corpses emphasizes comprehension, it is difficult to sever the corpses if one's comprehension is poor; but the methods of the world are different.

The Law of the World focuses on resources, allowing one's own world, which serves as the foundation for enlightenment, to grow, which in turn naturally drives the improvement of one's cultivation.

In theory, as long as sufficient resources are provided, there will be almost no bottlenecks to the world's advancement.
