Primordial Era: I, the auspicious beast Pixiu, am the darling of the Great Dao.

Chapter 76 Tianlu: Stain! Pure stain!

nowadays.

Hongjun looked down at the crowd whose cultivation had greatly improved and nodded slightly.

Then, in a calm tone, he dropped a bombshell that shook the world.

"The three lectures have concluded."

"After this sermon, I will unite myself with the Dao to complete the laws of Heaven."

"From this point on, the Heavenly Way is Hongjun, and Hongjun is no longer the Heavenly Way."

"Unless the primordial trend is irreversible and a great calamity is about to occur, Hongjun will never take action."

Upon hearing this, all the dignitaries were greatly alarmed and hurriedly tried to persuade them to stay.

"Dao Ancestor, you mustn't!"

"All living beings in the primordial world need the guidance of the Dao Ancestor; how can they depart after merging with the Dao?"

But in reality, these innate deities were all secretly rejoicing.

The Dao Ancestor's union with the Dao signifies that the mountain weighing on their heads is finally about to disappear.

In the future, won't these quasi-saints be able to roam freely in this primordial world?

Hongjun has lived for countless eons, so how could he not see through the hypocrisy of these people?

He waved his hand dismissively.

"It's fate; there's no need to act like this."

Then, Hongjun's gaze fell on Tianlu again.

Looking at the golden Pixiu that had been lying leisurely from beginning to end, and even let out a burp, Hongjun was speechless.

You shameless scoundrel, you've at least listened to three sermons here!

Even if you are the darling of the Great Dao, you should at least give me some face and show some respect, right?

Ugh!

Hongjun sighed heavily in his heart, forcibly putting this depressed thought out of his mind.

The important matter is the priority.

Thinking of this, he immediately announced the most important part of the sermon.

"After these three lectures conclude, I will follow the will of Heaven and accept several personal disciples."

"And grant him the foundation for sainthood, the Primordial Purple Qi!"

'

Upon hearing this, the entire Zixiao Palace instantly descended into madness.

The foundation for sainthood!

Primordial Purple Qi!

Could this be the ticket to the realm of a Primordial Saint?!

Hongjun ignored the crowd's fervor and focused his gaze directly on the Three Pure Ones at the forefront.

"The Three Pure Ones of Pangu, you are all transformed from the primordial spirit of the Great God Pangu, possessing the great merit of creating the world."

"In the future, you will surely attain enlightenment and become saints. Would you all be willing to take me as your master?"

Upon hearing this, Sanqing's joy was palpable.

Without the slightest hesitation, who could resist the temptation of becoming a saint?

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian all bowed in unison.

"This disciple is willing to pay respects to Master!"

Hongjun nodded in satisfaction.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, three supreme treasures radiating endless chaotic energy appeared out of thin air.

"Laozi, as the head of the Three Pure Ones, I hereby bestow upon you this innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram, to suppress destiny."

"Yuanshi, this innate treasure, the Pangu Banner, possesses the power to tear apart chaos, so I bestow it upon you."

"Tongtian, these four swords and formation diagrams of the Immortal Executioner, which cannot be broken by any but the Four Sages, are in charge of killing and destruction. Therefore, I bestow them upon you to protect your path."

The Three Pure Ones received these three supreme treasures that shook the primordial world with trembling hands, overwhelmed with excitement.

"Thank you so much, Master, for bestowing this treasure!"

The other deities in the hall looked at the three innate treasures with such envy that their eyes were practically bleeding.

Then, Hongjun turned his gaze to Nuwa, who was sitting in the fourth position.

He looked at the dignified and beautiful female immortal and spoke gently.

"Nuwa, you will have great merit, great fortune, and great blessings in the future."

"Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Nuwa was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Originally, faced with the offer of a disciple by such a sage and the temptation of the opportunity to become a saint, she wanted to directly become Hongjun's disciple.

But just as she was about to agree...

For some reason, it seemed as if an invisible force was flowing through her sea of ​​consciousness, driving her Dao heart.

She recalled the auspicious energy bestowed upon her by Tianlu, the laws of creation she had comprehended, and her current cultivation level as a mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

Her path doesn't seem to require relying on this so-called Heavenly Sage.

After a moment of silence.

Nuwa slowly stood up, bowed slightly to Hongjun, and politely declined.

"Thank you for your kindness, Dao Ancestor."

"However, Nuwa already has her own path to follow, and I fear that I may disappoint the Dao Ancestor's expectations. I hope the Dao Ancestor will forgive me."

In an instant, the entire Zixiao Palace fell into a deathly silence.

Hongjun was stunned, his expression showing astonishment.

What's going on?!

This is the chance to become a saint!

This is the status of a Heavenly Saint!

You don't want it?!

You actually refused this humble Taoist in front of three thousand worldly guests?!

As he pondered, Hongjun's expression shifted unpredictably, eventually settling into a deep sense of helplessness and frustration.

He suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Tianlu, who was lying on the clouds.

It must be him!

It must be that lawless, ugly beast that's behind this!

Aside from this darling of the Great Dao who controls the destiny of the primordial world and can even shield the Heavenly Dao, who else could make Nuwa resist the temptation of becoming a saint?

If Tianlu knew what Hongjun was thinking at this moment, he would definitely jump up and angrily rebuke him.

This is defamation!

A blatant stain!

Who knows what Nuwa was thinking that would refuse Hongjun's offer to take her as a disciple?

Not only was Hongjun stunned, but Tianlu himself was also stunned.

He blinked his golden eyes, looking at Nuwa's resolute back, and muttered to himself.

Nuwa rejected Hongjun, and it seems that the destiny of the primordial world has been seriously deviated from its original course.

But who cares?

What does this have to do with me? Anyway, I don't need to become an apprentice.

On the high platform, Hongjun saw that Nuwa refused, and knowing that she had already comprehended the Great Dao of Creation and was unwilling to become his disciple, he had no choice but to give up.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and remained silent.

Just then, Zhunti suddenly collapsed to the ground, wailing and crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Teacher, have mercy! Our Western land is barren and impoverished, and all beings struggle to cultivate themselves. We beg you, Teacher, to grant us the opportunity to attain sainthood!"

Seeing this, Kunpeng, sitting on the other side, quickly guessed that these six prayer cushions were the officially designated disciple positions.

Nuwa's refusal doesn't mean he will refuse.

He immediately knelt down and began to cry out loud, imitating Zhunti.

"Teacher, please have mercy! My northern lands are bitterly cold year-round, and the people who seek the Way face countless hardships and dangers. We beg your mercy!"

Looking at the two people below who were crying and wailing, Hongjun spoke helplessly.

"Very well, then I'll accept you two as my nominal disciples."

After saying this, Hongjun waved his sleeve, and two dazzling beams of light instantly flew towards Zhunti.

"This is the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, and the scepter blessed by the superior innate spiritual treasure, which I bestow upon you."

Immediately afterwards, another streak of light flew towards Kunpeng.

The stream of light spun around in front of Kunpeng, transforming into a precious fan exuding a profound aura. Yin and Yang energies circulated on it, and the power of water and fire intertwined, clearly indicating that it was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"This is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Fan, which I bestow upon you for self-defense."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti and Kunpeng were overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you for your compassion, teacher! I will always remember your great kindness!"

The two were trembling with excitement; this was a sainthood, plus a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

In an instant, all the deities within the Purple Cloud Palace were green with envy.

They originally thought that Nuwa's refusal to become her disciple meant the end of their chance, but who would have thought that crying would bring them such a great fortune?

In an instant, the entire hall's style changed drastically.

"Dao Ancestor, have mercy! The people of my Eastern land are suffering terribly. I beg you, Dao Ancestor, to grant me an opportunity!"

"Teacher, have mercy! My bloodline is utterly alone and helpless; I beg you, Teacher, to bestow upon me a treasure!"

Three thousand mortals fell to the ground, each one weeping heart-wrenchingly. Some even secretly used their magic to force out two lines of clear tears, instantly turning the entire Zixiao Palace into a large-scale mourning scene.
