Chapter 50 The Heads of Male and Female Immortals
Boundless chaos, before the Purple Cloud Palace.
Kunpeng and the Styx witnessed firsthand how the Eastern King Duke served the Three Pure Ones like a younger brother.
The two immediately lost their previous arrogance, and when they glanced at the Three Pure Ones, their fear was obvious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the second sermon begins."
Haotian, Yaochi, stood at the palace gate, his tone devoid of any emotion.
In an instant, the palace doors opened.
What came into view was an endless purple mist, rolling out from inside the palace gate.
Inside the hall, thousands of rays of light and ten thousand golden rays appeared in a dazzling display.
One after another, renowned cultivators filed in and stepped across the threshold.
Everyone appeared very calm during this audience.
Since the seats have already been reserved, it doesn't matter if you arrive a little earlier or later.
Ling Xiao, along with his two brothers, sat down in the first three of the six large purple prayer cushions.
Not long after, Zhen Yuanzi Hongyun sat on one of the two futons to the right of Ling Xiao and the other two.
Taiqing Laozi sat on the last futon.
Kunpeng looked at Taiqing, a flash of resentment in his eyes, and thought to himself, "This is what should have been mine to sit on. One day, you must repay this debt of karma."
At this moment, Tongtian, Nuwa, and Yuanshi were sitting on three other purple futons.
These three large purple futons were given to the three of them by Hongjun.
Ling Xiao looked at all the purple prayer mats present.
He knew that originally neither he nor Hongyun nor Zhen Yuanzi had this opportunity.
Now that I've arrived, some things have gone astray.
After three sermons at Zixiao Palace, how will Hongjun ultimately resolve this matter?
He couldn't possibly allow nine Heavenly Saints to be born in the primordial world, could he? If that were the case, the Heavenly Dao would surely skin him alive!
At this moment, Hongjun sat on the high Dao platform, his whole body shrouded in immortal light. With each opening and closing of his eyes, the Limitless Immortal Dao Laws shone brightly, and all the heavens and myriad worlds rose and fell in illusion.
"Gentlemen, this is my second sermon, on the path of the Quasi-Saints."
Hongjun spoke, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth, while jade flowers descended from the sky.
"When a cultivator reaches the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they can entrust their primordial spirit to a magical artifact and sever one of their physical bodies, thus becoming a Quasi-Saint in the early stages."
"Second Corpse, mid-stage Quasi-Saint; Third Corpse, late-stage Quasi-Saint."
"If the power of the three corpses reaches the same level as the original body, that is, the peak of the Quasi-Saint."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun couldn't help but ask curiously, "I've heard that there's another path in the primordial world, the path of Hunyuan."
Hongjun lowered his eyes and said, "Those who cultivate the Primordial Golden Immortal follow the path of proving the Dao through strength, but there are very few people in the Primordial World with great perseverance and great fortune."
Everyone then realized that although the Primordial Golden Immortal was powerful, the requirements were too many, and it was too difficult to attain enlightenment.
Immediately afterwards, Hongjun began to expound on the scriptures and the Great Dao, enabling everyone to comprehend the method of severing the three corpses.
Three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, cultivators who severed their own corpses appeared one after another.
Good corpse, evil corpse, self-corpse.
The difficulty of dismembering a corpse increases sequentially.
In the primordial world, some beings have shallow fortune and can only remain stuck in the realm of the first stage of Quasi-Saint throughout their entire lives.
Hongjun looked at the group of Xuanmen cultivators. Under the guidance of the Great Dao he had spoken of, many of them had severed one of their corpses.
Seated on the platform, his brows relaxed, he rose and put his hands behind his back, looking down at the group of Xuanmen cultivators.
Seeing the devout worship of all beings, I was deeply moved and recited aloud!
"Humanity is insignificant, and the path of immortality is boundless."
"The way of heaven values life, the way of ghosts values death."
"The path of immortals is always auspicious, while the path of ghosts is always inauspicious."
"High and clear, the mournful song echoes in the vast sky."
"I only wish to attain immortality, not to be impoverished in the human realm."
"The heavens are in a state of great harmony, and my Way flourishes daily."
Hongjun's ethereal voice resounded throughout the heavens and myriad realms, vast and magnificent.
Beneath the Xuanmen Gate, one can survey all the mountains below!
The "ghost path" that Hongjun spoke of refers to the evil and crooked path, while the "human path" refers to the collective will of all living beings.
Although he conspired with the Heavenly Way to control the primordial chaos, he also had the merit of preaching the Way three times.
All races learned his Daoist teachings and established their own great religions and sects, which led to the prosperity and flourishing of the primordial world.
At this moment, Dongwanggong stepped out from the crowd, bowed to Hongjun, and said, "The sage has the merit of educating all living beings, and should be respectfully addressed as the Dao Ancestor. Dongwanggong thanks the Dao Ancestor for the grace of transmitting the Dao."
No one expected this guy to be so sycophantic.
At this moment, if one does not follow him and address him as Dao Ancestor, it would be to disregard Hongjun.
In an instant, everyone congratulated Hongjun on becoming the Dao Ancestor.
Hongjun calculated with his fingers, then his gaze lingered on the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, remaining silent for a long time.
The laws of Heaven may change minor circumstances, but they cannot alter major trends!
Hongjun flicked his sleeves and left. The next moment, he sat on the Dao platform, looking down at the endless cultivators in the hall.
"Now, the primordial Heavenly Dao is incomplete, and the great calamity of heaven and earth is about to return."
"It won't be long before all living beings in the ten directions are blinded by the calamity, knowing only how to kill and not how to cultivate their inner peace."
"This Holy One intends to maintain the order of heaven and earth, and has elected a male immortal leader and a female immortal leader to establish a Celestial Court, set the rules for the four directions, and eliminate the calamity of heaven and earth."
Upon hearing Hongjun's words, everyone's attention was first drawn to the four words "Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth".
"Is a cataclysmic event about to strike again?"
Some people were shocked, then fear flashed in their eyes, and their faces turned almost deathly pale.
"Thinking back to the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, how much harm they brought to all the races of the primordial world..."
"Now that another great calamity has arisen, what race is it that intends to wreak havoc on the primordial world?"
A series of surprised and uncertain voices echoed throughout Zixiao Palace. Everyone present, except for Lingxiao, was filled with worry.
"The great calamity has not yet arrived; the most important thing now is to maintain the order of heaven and earth!"
The Three Pure Ones stepped forward first from the crowd. Yuanshi, one of them, bowed to Hongjun and said, "Dao Ancestor, I, Yuanshi, am willing to share your burdens."
The Twelve Ancestral Witches, who had always been at odds with Yuanshi, as well as Dijun and Taiyi, all spoke up at this moment, saying they were willing to share the burden.
Unexpectedly, Hongjun rejected everyone, saying calmly, "The will of Heaven has been decided. The only candidates are the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother."
In his hands appeared two top-grade innate spiritual treasures: a dragon-headed cane and a phoenix-headed hairpin.
As the two great magical treasures were unleashed, the divine light of the innate spiritual treasures enveloped the boundless Purple Cloud Palace.
The next moment, with a wave of Hongjun's sleeve, the two great magic treasures floated in front of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother.
The Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother smiled, each accepting their treasures and bowing in gratitude to Hongjun.
The Eastern King glared fiercely at the three Ling brothers, then raised his head, his eyes filled with hostility as he looked at them.
His robes fluttered without wind, his eyes seemed to be on his forehead, and his whole aura exuded an overbearing arrogance.
Yuanshi Tianzun flicked his sleeve, his chest heaving, and strode to the center of the hall. Looking at Hongjun, he said, "Dao Ancestor, the Eastern King Duke is a petty man, his cultivation mediocre at best. As for the Western Queen Mother, although her temperament and strength are acceptable, she has no merit or virtue; how can she command respect?"
"Please, Dao Ancestor, be wise. We, the Three Pure Ones, are the true descendants of Pangu. In terms of merit and ability, apart from you, there is no one in the world who can surpass us three brothers."
