"Senior brother's insight is indeed profound; we should indeed do so," Yuanshi Tongtian replied, though in his heart he knew this was merely Laozi comforting himself.
Upon seeing Xuan Tian, he wanted to go forward and ask him questions, but when he suddenly saw Hong Jun appear on the prayer mat, he stopped talking.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hongjun glanced at Xuantian, his heart filled with astonishment: "This boy is indeed an incarnation of Pangu, possessing great wisdom. After a thousand years, his cultivation has improved even more. However, he still has a great karmic connection with me, which must be settled."
Hongjun then disregarded everything else and began to preach. This time, there were far fewer people listening to his teachings than before. In the prehistoric world, there were many conflicts. Both the Wu and Yao races wanted to be the protagonists of the prehistoric world, and there were constant battles, large and small. Many people were drawn into these conflicts, and in the end, some of them perished, their cultivation turning to ashes.
This time, Hongjun was expounding on the Dao, including the Three Thousand Great Daos and the Eight Hundred Unorthodox Daos. Those who heard something suitable began cultivating in the Zixiao Palace. Eventually, only a few remained to listen to Hongjun's teachings. The Three Pure Ones disdained the unorthodox Daos, focusing instead on the Three Thousand Great Daos. Nuwa absorbed everything she could, memorizing as much as she could. The Western Paradise's Jieyin and Zhunti favored the unorthodox methods. The rest obtained methods they were destined to learn. Only Xuantian, with his profound cultivation and established Daoist goals and methods, did not believe Hongjun's teachings were superior to his own. He considered his own Dao to be his own, and he only came to listen for the opportunity to become a saint and to learn from Hongjun's teachings. However, he also knew... From then on, the Xuanmen sect would reign supreme in the world. Hongjun's Daoist methods were quite wondrous, so from the very beginning, he listened to the Dao while using his primordial spirit to record on the 12th-grade green lotus. This 12th-grade green lotus was also a treasure of great fortune. It is said that in the time of chaos, there were three great treasures of chaos: the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Jade Disc of Creation, and the Green Lotus of Chaos. The Heaven-Opening Axe contained three strands of Primordial Purple Qi and was responsible for opening, protecting, and stabilizing the heavens. The Jade Disc of Creation contained nine strands of Primordial Purple Qi and was responsible for teaching and guiding. The Green Lotus of Chaos contained three strands of Primordial Purple Qi and was responsible for the creation and nurturing of life. Later, when the heavens were opened, both the Jade Disc of Creation and the Green Lotus of Chaos were shattered. The largest fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation was obtained by Hongjun, who used it to prove his Dao and later used it to establish his sainthood. Before the Chaos Green Lotus shattered, it split into four lotus seeds. One transformed into a 12th-grade golden lotus, to be obtained by Jieyin and used to establish his sect; one transformed into a 12th-grade black lotus in Luo Hou's hands; one transformed into a 12th-grade blood lotus, obtained by the Styx River and used as the treasure of the Asura Sect; and one transformed into a 12th-grade green lotus, containing the Great Dao of the Green Lotus. However, the shattering of the green lotus took away nearly half of the Primordial Purple Qi, causing the Primordial Purple Qi contained within the four lotus platforms to be incomplete, thus reducing its effectiveness in suppressing fortune. This time, when Xuan Tian was recording Hong Jun's Daoist techniques, he discovered a great change within the green lotus. However, the change was currently unclear, and he himself did not know it. He only felt that the green lotus seemed to be growing again, requiring a great deal of spiritual energy. This phenomenon made Xuan Tian extremely happy. This 12th-grade green lotus was already among the innate supreme treasures; if it could advance further, what power would it possess?
During Hongjun's sermon, Xuantian continuously recorded Hongjun's words within the Azure Lotus. By the time Hongjun finished sermon, the Azure Lotus had become like a baby seeking milk. Knowing that it needed a large amount of spiritual energy to grow, Xuantian hurriedly left Zixiao Palace. The Three Pure Ones were comprehending Hongjun's teachings when they awoke to find Xuantian gone. They thought they had missed him once again and sighed with regret.
Xuan Tian was about to return to Penglai Island when he heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw Di Jun and Dong Huang. What do they want with me?
Xuan Tian was just about to return to Penglai Island when he heard Donghuang and Dijun calling him, so he stopped to listen to what they had to say.
Di Jun stepped forward and bowed to Xuan Tian, who returned the bow. Xuan Tian said to Di Jun, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Tian, you were transformed from Pangu's head; your merits are immeasurable. May I ask where your Daoist abode is? We may visit your immortal mountain during our leisure time." Xuan Tian thought to himself, "Why would Di Jun seek me out for no reason? It can't be a simple visit." However, he had important matters to attend to. Therefore, he decided to ask for clarification.
“Fellow Daoist Dijun, there’s no need for such words. You two have recruited members of the demon race in the Sun Palace and unified the vast demon race, which is a great merit. I currently reside on Penglai Island in the East Sea, and usually only focus on cultivation. Penglai Island cannot compare to the abundance of your Sun Palace, so it is really not a good place to go.” Seeing that Dijun did not reveal his purpose, Xuantian wanted to provoke him. Emperor Jun was recruiting demons in the Sun Palace, intending to remain the protagonist of the prehistoric world for a long time. His imperial mind was also highly refined, so how could he not see through Xuan Tian's intentions? However, this time he had to find out the truth no matter what. At present, the demons in his Sun Palace seemed to be powerful, but the demon race was naturally undisciplined and acted independently, unlike the Wu race, who were all formed from the essence of Pangu's blood. The twelve Ancestral Witches were all one person, and in recent years, the Wu race had produced more than a hundred Great Witches. Although the demon race had more people than the Wu race, their combat strength was not the same, especially in terms of experts. They were also weaker than the Wu race. Now, there was Xuan Tian, whose intentions were unknown. If he was used by the Wu race, the demon race would have another major enemy, which really troubled Emperor Jun.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities. You are a being transformed from Pangu's head, a person of profound virtue and accomplished cultivation, far beyond the reach of us mere mortals. You must also be a person of great fortune; Penglai Island must be a blessed land of immortals, a place we all yearn for. However, seeing the brutality of the Wu Clan, slaughtering and killing across the primordial continent, where the majority are demons, we couldn't bear it. That's why we recruited demons in the Sun Palace to fight against the Wu Clan—it was a last resort." Xuan Tian, upon hearing this, spoke with disdain for Di Jun. It sounded nice, but he didn't really want to be the protagonist of the primordial world. He remained calm and said, "Although I was transformed from the head of Pangu, I only care about cultivating the Dao and don't want to get involved in worldly karma. However, Fellow Daoist Dijun is so troubled for the sake of countless demons. I think the primordial demons will be grateful for your kindness and will surely repay you." Xuantian knew Dijun's intentions and immediately distanced himself. He knew that both the Wu and Yao races would withdraw from the struggle for the protagonist of the world and didn't want to join either side. However, he could still take advantage of any benefits.
