Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 61 Hesitation and Arrangement

What made him look forward to it was the sermon at Zixiao Palace, and what made him feel lost was also something else entirely.

He was very clear about his origins; he was a time traveler.

According to the original course of fate, the seven innate gourds nurtured by the innate gourd vine should have been divided among many powerful beings, causing the innate gourd vine to wither.

Rather, he transformed from a section of innate gourd vine and used the innate gourd vine to evolve three Dao bodies, all of which possessed top-tier innate divine origins.

He also did not know what kind of power Hongjun, the first saint of the primordial world, possessed, or whether he could see through his origins.

If possible, what attitude would one have towards a transmigrator like him?

Although he consciously repaired the earth veins of the Western Continent, which made him, the Yuan Realm, the Yuan Wheel, and the Yuan Spirit all bear great merit, and he bound the earth veins they repaired to the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array, he could self-destruct at any time.

Even if Hongjun harbored ill intentions towards them, he dared not easily attack them, thus possessing some ability to protect himself.

But no matter what, Hongjun is the first saint in the primordial world. If the future representative of the Heavenly Dao really harbors malice towards them, then their future will probably be very difficult, and they may be in danger of perishing if they are not careful.

Previously, given his advantages over Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling, it shouldn't have been difficult for him to seize a sainthood.

But theory is theory, and practice is practice; he couldn't be sure that he would be able to seize a holy position.

After all, if Hongjun was unwilling to grant him a sainthood, he only needed to manipulate things slightly when Hongjun went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao, making him arrive later, and then come after everything had settled down. What could Hongjun do then?

You can't exactly try to snatch a seat in front of Hongjun when he says it's already taken, can you?

That's practically courting death!

"Enough! Things will work out in the end! What's the use of my current anticipation and hesitation? Whether it's an opportunity or a crisis, we'll find out when we get there!" Yuan Yan thought to himself, erasing all the distracting thoughts from his mind.

The sermon given by Hongjun at Zixiao Palace was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity.

Those who do not listen to the teachings of the Dao will surely be surpassed and surpassed by those who do listen.

If he doesn't go, even though he has a huge advantage over many top-tier innate saints, he might still be overtaken.

Furthermore, given his reputation in the Primordial World along with that of the Primordial Realm, the Primordial Wheel, and the Primordial Spirit, as well as his actions on the Western Continent, Hongjun would know about them as long as he wasn't blind.

This means that whether he goes to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao or not, he will still be noticed by Hongjun, and it is highly unlikely that Hongjun's attitude towards him will change.

Given this, he naturally couldn't possibly miss the sermon at Zixiao Palace.

Since he is determined to go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao, what is the point of his current anticipation and hesitation? All he can do is face it with an attitude of indifference to honor or disgrace.

With this thought in mind, Yuan Yan's gloom vanished, and his heart felt suddenly bright and clear.

In an instant, Yuan Yan shifted his attention to the tens of thousands of cultivators below the lecture platform who were still in shock and bewildered.

Although the millennium had not yet arrived, and there were still three or four hundred years left, Yuan Yan no longer had the intention to continue preaching.

As for whether the tens of thousands of cultivators below the preaching platform still had the will to listen to the sermon, Yuan Yan ignored it.

After a moment's hesitation, Yuan Yan uttered, "Calm your mind and focus your spirit!"

In an instant, under the influence of the Daoist sound, tens of thousands of cultivators below the platform came to their senses, their shock inexplicably dissipated, and they returned to calm.

Seeing this, Yuan Yan remained calm and continued, "This lecture is now concluded. You may all leave."

"As for what the Sage Hongjun said, after one Yuanhui, he will set up the Daoist temple Zixiao Palace in the Chaos of the Outer Heavens to spread the Dao in the primordial world. The Chaos of the Outer Heavens is not a place that only Great Luo Golden Immortals can set foot in. Unless you can attain the Dao of Great Luo Golden Immortals within one Yuanhui, it has nothing to do with you."

"If you wish to seize this opportunity, return to your secluded cultivation and strive to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, all the cultivators below the platform agreed and then silently dispersed.

Of course, not all of these tens of thousands of cultivators were so obedient; some had other ideas: they wanted to ask Yuan Yan to take them to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao.

However, before they could finish speaking, their thoughts were clearly revealed in Yuan Yan's calm aura, and they felt immense pressure, so they dared not utter a word.

Before long, tens of thousands of cultivators below the lecture platform dispersed on their own. Yuan Yan moved his mind and, through the mysterious connection and the connection jade talisman, contacted Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, and the twenty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals under his command, instructing them to immediately put down all their affairs and return to Yingzhou Immortal Island.

In just a few breaths, ripples appeared in the void above Yingzhou Immortal Island, and figures suddenly appeared, standing below the lecture platform.

"Greetings, elder brother!"

"Greetings, Lord!"

Yuanjie, Yuanlun, Yuanling, and the twenty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals below all bowed in unison.

(ps: Yuan Yan has never revealed himself to the outside world. Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling are his Dao bodies. To the outside world, they have always addressed each other as brothers, with Yuan Yan as the eldest, and Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling as the second, third, and fourth, respectively.)

"We're all brothers, no need to be so polite!" Yuan Yan said warmly.

Without further ado, he said directly, "I presume you all know why I sent you back to Yingzhou Immortal Island!"

""

"Hmm!" Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, and the twenty-six Daluo Golden Immortals under their command all nodded.

They weren't stupid; they naturally knew that Yuan Yan wanted them to return because of Hongjun's ascension to sainthood not long ago, and that Saint Hongjun intended to preach at Zixiao Palace in the Outer Heavens after a Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese mythology).

"The Sage Hongjun said that those who are destined can go to hear the Dao, but his Daoist temple, Zixiao Palace, is in the Chaos of the Outer Heaven. Those who are not Great Luo Golden Immortals or those with profound blessings may find it difficult to reach it and may not have the opportunity to hear the Dao."

"Since the Sage Hongjun set up the Zixiao Palace, the Daoist temple, in the Chaos of the Outer Heavens, he must have had a profound reason for this, and he must have had certain criteria for selecting those who would listen to his teachings."

"If we were to bring a large number of Taiyi Golden Immortals with us, or go in groups, we might be implicated and lose the opportunity to hear the Dao."

"Therefore, we will go separately to Zixiao Palace to listen to the teachings this time."

"Of course, that's all I have to say. If you wish to bring your juniors along, or go in groups, that's fine with you! But you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

"Furthermore, although even Great Luo Golden Immortals can roam freely in the Chaos Beyond the Heavens, they cannot guarantee their own safety if they encounter dangers such as the Chaos Gale. Now that you have joined my ranks, I will naturally lend you a helping hand!"

At this point, Yuan Yan took out twenty-six jade talismans that exuded a mysterious and terrifying aura of the Great Dao, and handed them to the twenty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals under his command.

He continued, "This is a protective jade talisman that I have carefully crafted. Once activated, it can generate a Yin-Yang Taiji Dao Diagram, which can withstand a Great Luo Golden Immortal for ten years. If you encounter a crisis, it may save your lives."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After putting away the jade talisman in their hands, Tao Yao and the other twenty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals bowed in gratitude.
