Primordial Chaos: Apprenticing to Tai Yi, Inheriting a Large Legacy

A gourd immortal is born in the Primordial Chaos, with origins so profound he never boasts.

One day he ascends to the Cloud Summit Hall, treating gods and immortals as mere equals.

Thre...

Chapter 450 The future is infinitely changeable, but the end is always predetermined.

After Hongjun Laozu finished his sermon, the golden lotus flowers that had been swirling in the hall gradually disappeared into nothingness.

Hu Le's expression finally relaxed, and he suddenly heard someone let out a soft sigh.

He turned his head and realized that the voice was coming from Tongtian Daoren.

It seems that Tongtian Daoren didn't find it easy to listen to what he just heard.

Tongtian Daoren sensed Hu Le's gaze, turned his head to look back, exchanged a glance with Hu Le, and both shook their heads and chuckled.

The cultivators who had been sleeping in the hall also woke up one after another...

"Alright! This concludes the three sermons. If you have any questions, please speak them aloud, and this old Daoist will answer them for you," said Ancestor Hongjun calmly.

Master Taiqing spoke first, but instead of inquiring about the content of the sermon, he asked directly, "May I ask, Master, is there any chance for me to achieve Hunyuan in the future?"

Everyone was surprised to hear this, not expecting that the Taoist Taiqing would ask such a direct question.

Hongjun, the patriarch, showed no surprise upon hearing this and calmly replied, "You are the head of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu and the eldest disciple of my Xuanmen. You will surely achieve Hunyuan in the future."

Upon hearing this, all the listeners looked at the Taoist Master Taiqing with eyes full of envy.

Even the Primordial Daoist could no longer maintain his composure and asked, "How about this disciple? Can he become a Hunyuan like my senior brother?"

Hongjun Patriarch nodded, “You and Tongtian are both Pangu, and in the future you should take my place in teaching all living beings, and you should become Primordial Saints.”

Everyone was filled with envy upon hearing this.

Pangu and the Three Pure Ones have been appointed by a sage; these are the future sages!

Finally, everyone's attention turned to Hu Le.

Of the four Pangu immortals, three have already been confirmed as future sages. So who is the remaining one?

But Hu Le did not ask whether he could achieve Hunyuan, but instead asked, "May I ask the Sage, is there a predetermined number of future Sages?"

Hongjun Laozu gently shook his head and replied, "There is no fixed number. Under the Heavenly Dao, all living beings have the opportunity to achieve Hunyuan."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. If everyone could achieve Hunyuan, then wouldn't they also have a chance?

However, they were too happy too soon, as if they had forgotten the difficulty of attaining the Primordial Chaos Realm. You should know that since the beginning of time, only one Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator has ever appeared.

An opportunity is an opportunity, but whether you will succeed is another matter.

Even a one in a trillion chance is still a chance. Who can guarantee they'll be that one in a trillion?

"May I ask, Sage, is there any chance for me to achieve Hunyuan in the future?"

After Hu Le finished asking his question, it was Fu Xi's turn to sit to his right.

Even though he usually acts calmly and composedly, he could no longer remain calm this time, and the anticipation in his tone was palpable to anyone.

After all, this concerns the immortal and indestructible Hunyuan, so it's no wonder he couldn't remain calm.

Hongjun Ancestor lowered his gaze and glanced at Fuxi.

Fuxi felt as if the other person's gaze had seen through his past, present, and future, and all his secrets were revealed under that single look.

For some reason, a sense of regret began to rise in his heart.

I feel I really shouldn't have asked that question.

He was also a person skilled in divination, and he knew that the future was subject to change, and that destiny and change were constantly operating within the laws of nature.

His future is also full of infinite changes, but the end of each change is a fixed number.

In the depths of his being, he sensed that Hongjun Ancestor had transformed into the Heavenly Dao at this moment, and if he were to say "no" next, then he would certainly be unable to achieve Hunyuan in the future.

Because, with just one sentence, Hongjun Laozu had already set the fate of countless variables in his future.

So, after asking the question, he immediately felt immense regret and finally understood why Hu Le hadn't asked the same question earlier.

Hongjun Laozu merely glanced at him indifferently, "Your future destiny does not lie in Hunyuan, there is no need to seek proof here."

Upon hearing this, Fuxi's face turned deathly pale, and he lowered his head deeply...

Nuwa glanced at her elder brother, sighed deeply, and her eyes were filled with concern.

She had originally wanted to ask some questions, but now she was no longer in the mood.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and immediately fell silent, clearly both of them having seen the problem with Fuxi.

Zhunti Daoist couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate. If Fuxi hadn't spoken first, he probably would have asked the same question as well.

The hall was quiet for a while before Di Jun finally stepped forward and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, will my demon race ever prosper?"

The demons in the hall perked up and listened intently to the answer that Ancestor Hongjun was about to give.

"Hehe..." Ancestor Hongjun laughed, "Whether the demon race can prosper depends on the human race, on all races, and on you all... Why ask this old Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun frowned, slowly sat back down, and pondered the deeper meaning behind Hongjun's words...

Hongjun, the patriarch, was unwilling to discuss the future with the people in the hall any further, so he simply admonished them: "You don't need to ask me about the future anymore. Asking about it might not be a good thing for you in the future. You should ask some questions about cultivation instead."

After hearing this, everyone knew that since Ancestor Hongjun had said so, they couldn't force him to agree, so they asked about cultivation.

After Hongjun Laozu answered everyone's questions one by one, his figure disappeared into nothingness.

Seeing that Hongjun Laozu had disappeared from the cloud platform, everyone bowed towards the platform to express their gratitude for Hongjun Laozu's teachings before getting up to leave.

Hu Le also stood up from the futon and turned to look at Fuxi. He saw that Fuxi had recovered and his face had returned to its usual calm.

However, Hu Le still caught a glimpse of disappointment in his eyes.

He shook his head slightly. What's the point of all this?

Fuxi brought this upon himself. A sage's words are predetermined, so why did he have to ask that question?

If you want to achieve Hunyuan, just work hard yourself; why do you need the approval of Hongjun Patriarch?

Hu Le was eager to go back and organize what he had just learned from the sermon. After saying goodbye to those around him, he led Guan Kong away.

As I was leaving, I noticed a group of people surrounding the Three Pure Ones, offering their congratulations. Clearly, they were trying to cultivate a good relationship with the future sages…

The master and disciple passed through the chaos and successfully returned to the Heavenly Court.

"Master! If you have no other instructions, I will return to my cultivation."

"Okay, you can go back now."

With Hu Le's approval, Guan Kong rode auspicious clouds and left the Heavenly Court, flying towards the primordial wilderness.

Hu Le went to Yaochi, returned to his usual residence in the main hall, sat down on the cloud bed, swallowed some golden pills to restore his mental energy, and began to sort out what he had gained from listening to the Dao.

As he focused his mind back into his Purple Mansion Spirit Platform, one after another Great Dao Inscriptions began to appear within his Purple Mansion, revealing all sorts of Heavenly Dao Mysteries and the profound mysteries of the Great Dao...
