Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 58 Hunyuan Sword

"Oh?"

For the first time, Hongjun's voice carried a tone of voice, as if it contained a slight emotion: "Since you do not wish to become a saint, why do you ask this question?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Hongjun say this. Xuanhuang was also slightly taken aback, and then said, "I'm just asking for clarification."

"Um."

Hongjun nodded and said, "Since you want to know clearly, then I will answer clearly as well." His tone had returned to its coldness: "After I merge with the Dao, the saintly position I occupy will also disappear and cease to exist."

"In other words, there should have been nine saints in the world, but only eight saints remain."

"Disciple, I have learned a lot." Xuanhuang sat back down on the futon and said no more.

Hongjun then announced the start of his sermon, and everyone immediately quieted down. Hongjun did not delay and began to preach.

However, as soon as the lecture began, that familiar yet even more unpleasant feeling immediately returned.

The three sermons at Zixiao Palace were each more difficult than the last.

This third sermon, however, concerned the path of the sages and the cultivation of the Primordial Chaos Realm. And the only sage in Zixiao Palace was still sitting on the platform, lecturing.

Every single person in the audience could not understand what was being said. Even those at the mid-stage of the Xuanhuang Quasi-Saint realm could only barely remember it.

Even if he had a Time-Space Mirror formed from fragments of the Jade Tablet of Creation, it would be of little use at this moment.

Of all the ten thousand sentences of Tao spoken by Hongjun, only one can be truly understood. The rest must be memorized through rote memorization.

Moreover, this memory is not so easy to remember; it also depends on each person's comprehension.

Everyone looked distressed, even the Three Pure Ones were frowning.

This lesson lasted for three thousand years. Finally, the Daoist chanting stopped, and Hongjun on the stage ceased his sermon.

At this moment, everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuanhuang opened his eyes, feeling a buzzing in his head. If he continued listening, his brain would probably explode.

"After the three sermons are completed, I will also merge with the Heavenly Dao. From now on, Hongjun will be the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao will not be Hongjun. This will not happen again except in the great calamity of heaven and earth."

Hongjun looked at the crowd below the stage and said, "In my early years, I traveled through the primordial world and found some treasures there. I placed them on the Treasure Distribution Cliff outside the palace. You can take them by chance later."

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately delighted. In truth, they didn't care much about Hongjun's attainment of Dao.

On the contrary, everyone was happy that Hongjun had merged with the Dao. After all, the existence of such a sage would have been too much pressure for everyone.

After Hongjun merged with the Dao, he only appeared during major calamities of heaven and earth, which made him incredibly carefree.

Now, Hongjun actually said he would distribute the treasures, and everyone couldn't help but look forward to it. Even if they couldn't get the Primordial Purple Qi, they couldn't fall behind on this treasure.

After obtaining a treasure, if one possesses a powerful innate spiritual treasure, then the chances of successfully severing one's corpse in the future will be much greater.

"The Three Pure Ones were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, and they must possess supreme treasures," Hongjun added.

Upon hearing this, the Three Pure Ones were overjoyed. Hongjun waved his sleeve, and a diagram appeared, landing in front of Laozi. He said, "Laozi, as the chief disciple of the Xuanmen, it is Heaven's will that you take control of this Taiji Diagram."

Looking at the Taiji diagram before him, Laozi, whose mind was usually calm, couldn't help but break free. He suppressed his excitement and bowed to Hongjun, saying, "Disciple thanks you, Master."

Then I took the Tai Chi diagram.

Hongjun waved his sleeve again, and another banner appeared. The banner's surface was surging with chaotic energy, like swords, sharp and menacing: "Yuanshi, this Pangu Banner shall be under your control."

"Disciple thanks Master." Yuanshi looked excited and quickly put away the Pangu Banner.

Meanwhile, in Zixiao Palace, everyone was stunned when Hongjun unleashed two supreme treasures.

They all secretly marveled at how incredibly wealthy the Dao Ancestor was. Originally, the only supreme treasure to have appeared in the primordial world was Taiyi's Chaos Bell, a treasure that was born alongside it.

Taiyi roamed the primordial world with unparalleled might, fighting countless battles with few defeats.

Especially as Taiyi's cultivation level grew stronger, he earned the reputation of being the strongest warrior below the level of a saint.

But now, it seems that Taiyi's invincible myth is about to come to an end.

Because Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi also possessed supreme treasures, the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell are all supreme treasures from the same origin.

The three powers were roughly equal, and putting aside Yuanshi, Laozi's cultivation was among the best in the prehistoric world.

With the addition of the Taiji diagram, wouldn't Taiyi's position as the strongest warrior below the sages be relinquished?

However, Tongtian became somewhat uneasy at this moment. Laozi had obtained the Taiji Diagram, Yuanshi had obtained the Pangu Banner, but the Chaos Bell was in Taiyi's hands.

What other treasures could I possibly obtain? Could they compare to the Three Treasures of Creation?

Hongjun didn't hesitate. With another flick of his sleeve, he took out four swords and a diagram, handing them to Tongtian and saying, "This is a set. It can be used to set up a sword formation, and its power is no less than that of a supreme treasure."

Tongtian was filled with doubt and surprise. He quickly took the four swords and the map, examined them briefly, and was overjoyed. He bowed to Hongjun and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Master."

Then he quickly put away the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram.

The four swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian formation diagram, arranged to form the Zhuxian Sword Formation, is the number one killing formation under the Heavenly Dao.

Its power is terrifying. It is said that only the Four Sages can break it. How could Tongtian not be excited to obtain this sword formation?

However, the crowd was still unaware of this and wondered what Tongtian was so excited about. Even if the sword formation was no less powerful than a supreme treasure.

But even the most precious treasures are different. The Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell are the three treasures transformed from the Heaven-Opening Axe. Could the sword formation obtained by Tongtian be more powerful than them?

"Nuwa, these two treasures are destined for you." Hongjun didn't care what everyone thought, and took out two more treasures for Nuwa.

These two treasures are not some supreme treasures, but rather two top-grade innate spiritual treasures: one is the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the other is the Red Embroidered Ball.

This was a perfect balance of offense and defense. Nuwa, however, was not greedy and thanked Hongjun.

Jieyin and Zhunti stared expectantly at Hongjun, but Hongjun bypassed them and said to Xuanhuang, "Xuanhuang."

"Disciple is here." Xuanhuang hurriedly stood up, but he never expected that he would also have a share of the treasure.

"If you wish to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, this Primordial Sword is destined for you." Hongjun took out a precious sword and gave it to Xuanhuang.

He stared so intently that his eyes lit up.

Because this Hunyuan Sword is a supreme innate treasure, its aura cannot be concealed at all.

The allure of a sword of supreme innate value to Tongtian is unimaginable.

Unfortunately, this sword was not meant for him.

He could only watch helplessly as Xuanhuang accepted the Hunyuan Sword.

Tongtian touched the four swords of Zhuxian in his arms, but still restrained his impulse. Although the Hunyuan Sword was powerful, he was even more reluctant to take out the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

"Thank you for your mercy, Master." Xuanhuang was overjoyed to receive the Hunyuan Sword and bowed to Hongjun.

"Gurgle."

At this moment, an untimely sound of swallowing saliva rang out, startling Xuanhuang. He looked to the side and saw Zhunti.

Zhunti looked at Hongjun with anticipation, seemingly unaware of his own lapse in composure.

However, what followed was destined to disappoint Zhunti.
