Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

"Would you be willing to become my disciple?" As Hongjun's words fell, Haotian's heart was stirred. Had he finally heard these words?

The changes that just happened were not only seen by him, but also by all the gods of Zixiao Palace. It seemed that the Heavenly Dao was determined to prevent him from becoming a disciple, while Hongjun forcibly expelled the Heavenly Dao from Zixiao Palace. Even the Three Pure Ones senior brothers borrowed their luck to provide assistance.

Looking at the six prayer cushions out of the corner of his eye, he recalled how Hongjun, after attaining sainthood, said he could not accept him as a disciple, and how he and Yaochi closed the gates of Zixiao Palace, and how Jieyin and Zhunti crossed the steps of Zixiao Palace as if divinely aided...

All of this demonstrates that Heaven is intentionally preventing him from becoming a disciple!

But why is that? Is it because he can mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao?

I am not satisfied!

Haotian roared inwardly. He blinked hard to stop himself from crying. Yaochi pushed him from behind, and Haotian grabbed her wrist, kneeling respectfully: "Disciple Haotian..."

He paused, then looked to his side. Yaochi paused, startled, and seeing that her master hadn't stopped her, she followed up, "Disciple Yaochi..."

"Greetings, Master!" *2

Hongjun laughed heartily with satisfaction: "Good! Good! Good!"

His laughter echoed through Zixiao Palace, and all the gods were silent. Anyone with eyes could see the confrontation between the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao. Before Haotian Yaochi gave his sermon, he closed the palace gates, and Jieyin and Zhunti arrived later to grab seats.

The gods looked at the two prayer mats with complicated expressions. Was the Heavenly Dao showing favoritism? If Jieyin and Zhunti had not entered Zixiao Palace, given the current biased nature of this Dao Ancestor, he would naturally have allowed these two newly accepted disciples to sit on the last two prayer mats.

Moreover, those two only accepted it because of karma!

Hongjun's eyes flickered slightly: "Restore your innate Dao body!"

Haotian Yaochi paused, and he couldn't help but recall the strange smile on his face when he transformed into a child and said he would help welcome the gods. So that's what he was waiting for!

The two figures were surrounded by flowing gold and silver. A dignified man wearing a golden crown and eyes radiating imperial aura appeared in the spot, accompanied by a stunningly beautiful woman in palace attire with her hair styled in a high phoenix bun.

The two exchanged a smile and bowed to Hongjun again: "Disciple Haotian/Yaochi greets Master!"

The gods were in an uproar. When the two were released from their virginity, they realized that the two were at the peak of the Great Luo realm and the late Great Luo realm. Apart from the Three Pure Ones, whom they could not see clearly, they had already reached the very pinnacle of the Zixiao Palace.

An old man in a blood-red robe looked grim. He recognized Haotian as someone who could be accepted by the Dao Ancestor even if it meant defying the Heavenly Dao. Haotian was not someone Haotian could afford to offend.

His gaze shifted to the white-haired youth behind Di Jun. Although he didn't know that Hao Tian had captured him or how he had ended up by Di Jun's side, it was none of his business. It was just a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

The weight lifted from Styx's heart. This was not something he could interfere with. What Bai Ze? This humble Taoist did not know him!

Bai Ze looked at Haotian with a complicated expression, but he was also secretly delighted. With his master's high status, his future was even brighter than the sun!

Houtu's gaze lingered on Haotian for a moment. This fellow Daoist was indeed of extraordinary birth. The other Ancestral Witches whispered among themselves. A look of helplessness flashed in Houtu's eyes, and she could only whisper to them to shut up.

The three Dragon Clan Grand Luo Golden Immortals exchanged glances, all seeing the other's joy; their Dragon Clan's power had grown even stronger!

The gods each had their own thoughts, but none of them dared to step forward and criticize at this moment. After all, this was the Dao Ancestor, a sage!

Hongjun looked at the two and nodded in satisfaction, then said in a deep voice, "It is inconvenient for a Heavenly Dao Saint to accept you as a disciple, so it is Hongjun Daoist who has accepted you. Do you understand?"

Haotian's eyes darkened. Had the Heavenly Dao become so wary of him? But he really hadn't done anything!

Hongjun sneered, "You don't need to care about Him. You are my disciple, and no one in this primordial world can bully you."

His gaze swept across the faces of the gods, finally lingering for a moment on Jieyin and Zhunti before returning to his indifferent state.

The gods were trembling with fear, wishing they could plug their ears. How could they possibly hear such secrets?

Besides, aren't Hongjun Daoist and Heavenly Dao Saint both you? What's the difference? However, they could also see the Dao Ancestor's high regard for Haotian, so they all lowered their heads and remained silent. Haotian nodded: "Disciple understands."

Hongjun let out a soft sigh, and two beams of divine light flew out from the quiet room, one gold and one silver, transforming into two futons that landed beside Zhunti, standing alongside the other six.

Haotian chuckled and pulled Yaochi to sit down. Seeing that no unusual phenomena appeared, Hongjun sneered. The gods trembled. What happened to the Dao Ancestor again?

Haotian, however, knew that the futons of the Three Pure Ones and the other six seemed to be directly connected to the Heavenly Dao, permeated with the Daoist principles and laws, while his and Yaochi's futons were like ordinary futons, without any divine significance.

A beam of purple light descended from Hongjun's auspicious clouds and floated in front of Haotian. Haotian was stunned. This was his Zixiao Sword. He could still feel the connection. After all, it was the first innate spiritual treasure he had obtained. How did it become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?

"This is the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Zixiao Sword. You should know the name Zixiao."

Haotian reached out and grasped it, and streaks of purple lightning shot out from the sword. The earth-shattering aura shocked many innate gods and demons. What powerful divine lightning! Moreover, the Purple Cloud Sword and the Purple Cloud Palace—they once again saw how much the Dao Ancestor valued Haotian!

"This is..." Haotian blinked, his eyes filled with disbelief, "The Purple Heaven Divine Lightning?"

Hongjun nodded, pointed a finger at Haotian Yaochi's forehead, and transmitted a profound incantation to him: "This is the cultivation method of my Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. With the Purple Heaven Sword's blessing, its power will be even greater."

The gods were in an uproar. Ever since the Dao Ancestor attained sainthood, the divine thunder in the primordial world had acquired the name Zixiao. They knew from their inherited memories that the power of this Zixiao divine thunder was only below that of the Great God Pangu's Dutian Divine Thunder, and so it was passed down to Haotian!

Haotian was also somewhat stunned. His master had even taught him this signature divine lightning technique?

Then, another white jade tablet flew out from Hongjun's sleeve, with the words "Jade Capital" engraved on it. The gods looked at it calmly. It was a boundary-guarding stone tablet of a blessed land, and even cultivators with such a place could recognize it.

The Three Pure Ones had somewhat complicated expressions. They naturally knew what Jade Capital Mountain was, and their master was indeed showing some favoritism.

"Mount Yujing is my residence in the prehistoric world. You and Yaochi also cultivated here for several eons. Since you two have no Daoist temple in the prehistoric world, I will give you Mount Yujing." Hongjun gently tossed the boundary-suppressing stone tablet in his hand, which landed in front of Haotian. He could still see the hidden immortal mountain.

"You two must take good care of the peach trees in the mountains. When the peaches ripen, you must send a few over for your master to try."

Haotian's eyes instantly reddened. His master had truly done everything he could for him, defying the Heavenly Dao to take him in and giving him so much compensation, all so that the gods wouldn't look down on him for being a virgin.

"Haotian/Yaochi thank you, Master." The two bowed deeply as they accepted the stone tablet, a sight that made many innate gods and demons envious.
