The Emperor and his wife had barely sat down when a group of people rushed in from outside the hall.
Leading the way were two beautiful female immortals, namely Houtu and Xuanming.
Following behind them were Dijiang, Jumang, and others.
The group of twelve people arrived in the hall and immediately went to the second row.
There are eight prayer cushions in the first row, while there are more in the second row.
However, Di Jun and the others were already seated in the second row, and the remaining futons were not enough to accommodate all twelve of them.
Houtu, Xuanming, and the others sat down on the remaining prayer mats, leaving only Zhurong and Gonggong. Reluctantly, they could only sit in the third row...
After some time, Zhen Yuanzi arrived in a hurry, carrying a whisk, and sat down in the third row. Finally, the Queen Mother of the West and her divine messenger, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, arrived.
The two women sat down beside Zhen Yuanzi.
At this moment, the Kunpeng Ancestor also arrived in the hall. After a quick glance, he went directly to the side of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, nodded slightly to Zhen Yuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West, and then greeted Emperor Jun and his wife, as well as Fuxi and his sister.
After exchanging greetings, he sat down with an air of nonchalance.
Soon, the Styx Ancestor also rushed over, followed by the Primordial Demon Lord, and then some of the Great Luo Immortals of the demon race also arrived.
As more and more cultivators arrived, the hall gradually became more lively.
Some of the acquaintances began to talk in hushed tones...
Hu Le sat in the front row, completely absorbed in comprehending the great Dao of Time, oblivious to the passage of time.
Suddenly, a melodious bell rang out in the void.
Everyone looked up at the cloud platform in front of them and saw that Hongjun Ancestor had appeared on the futon at some point.
Haotian and Yaochi, the two attendants, stood on either side of Hongjun, holding a dragon-headed cane and a jade bottle.
"Welcome, teacher."
The Three Pure Ones of Pangu were the first to awaken from their cultivation and bowed to Hongjun, the Ancestor.
"Greetings, Grandmaster!"
The third-generation disciples of the Xuanmen sect, including Daoist Xuandu, also hurriedly followed suit and bowed.
Those guest masters recruited by the Xuanmen sect in the hall, such as Daoist Ran Deng and Daoist Yujing, also bowed and greeted them.
Hu Le and the others also stood up from the prayer mats and bowed to Hongjun Laozu.
Regardless of what Hongjun Laozu's true purpose was in explaining the Great Dao of Hunyuan to all living beings, everyone who had the opportunity to come here to listen to the Dao should be grateful to him and it is only right that they pay their respects to him...
"You may all return to your places. This old Taoist will now begin his discourse. You must carefully contemplate it. As for how much you can comprehend, that depends on your own destiny."
After everyone was seated, he finally began to expound the Great Dao.
At first, he did not start talking about Hunyuan, but went straight to the cultivation of the Daluo realm, since Daluo is the foundation of Hunyuan.
The content he discusses is all-encompassing and not limited to Taoist practices.
Most of it was something he learned from the Jade Disc of Creation.
As he went deeper into his discourse, the profound truths he revealed became increasingly mysterious.
Strands of Daoist essence gradually gathered in the hall, condensing above everyone's heads and transforming into golden flowers that fell upon them, instantly merging into their bodies.
Just as a golden flower merged into Hu Le's body, a sudden thought struck him: he felt that this golden flower actually contained a trace of the innate Yin-Yang Dao.
He suddenly understood something. While listening to the lecture, he released his divine sense to capture the golden flowers in the sky and forcibly absorbed them into his body.
Of course, he didn't accept all female players indiscriminately; he selected some unique ones.
After all, he had already attained the Dao Fruit of the Great Dao such as the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements, so he didn't need it for the time being.
What he was searching for were the golden flowers of the Great Dao that contained time, space, and even life and death, which he had never specifically comprehended.
Among these golden flowers of the Great Dao, he also distinguished them into different grades, always prioritizing the golden flowers that contained the Great Dao of Time.
Who told him to be specifically cultivating this path...?
Of course, at the same time, others also noticed the wonders contained in the golden flowers and, like Hu Le, began to release their divine senses to actively capture the golden flowers above their heads.
With so many people in the hall releasing their divine senses at the same time, it's easy for several people to try and capture the same golden flower simultaneously, naturally leading to conflict.
Divine thoughts occasionally clashed within the hall.
All of this naturally did not escape the notice of Hongjun Ancestor, but he merely glanced at everyone indifferently, did not stop them, and continued to speak of the Great Dao.
Seeing that Hongjun Ancestor did not speak, the crowd grew bolder, and their divine senses clashed even more fiercely.
However, in this situation, the stronger party wins.
Especially with four Pangus in the hall, no one could possibly compete with them.
Whether it's Di Jun or Hou Tu, their divine senses will instantly disintegrate after colliding with the divine senses of one of the four.
After several attempts, the group finally realized that they were no match for the four and had no choice but to give up competing with them. Instead, they started grabbing the golden flowers above the heads of the others.
Therefore, in a short while, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the many cultivators in the hall were quickly revealed to everyone.
Then, Pangu Sanqing and Hu Le, who were sitting in the first row, remained seated and motionless, while countless golden flowers flew over and entered their bodies, instantly surrounding them with golden flowers.
While Nuwa and her brother, who were sitting to Hu Le's right, were also surrounded by some golden flowers, their numbers were noticeably sparser compared to those surrounding the Three Pure Ones and Hu Le.
As for the number of golden flowers surrounding the Guide, although it is not as many as the four Pangu, it is still much more than that of Nuwa and her brother.
Therefore, it is evident that in terms of primordial spirit cultivation, he surpasses Fuxi and Nuwa by a great margin.
Sitting to the right of the Guide, the Zhunti Daoist's cultivation level was somewhat lower than the Guide's, so the number of golden flowers he collected was naturally less than that of the Guide.
However, compared to Nuwa and Fuxi, there are still more.
In the second row, Houtu and Dijun had the highest cultivation levels, and although the number of golden flowers surrounding them was much less than that of Hu Le and the others in the first row.
However, compared to Xuanming and his group, their numbers are still considerably greater.
As for Xuandu, Guankong, and the other three, although they were all juniors and lacked cultivation, the number of golden flowers surrounding them was no less than that of Dijun and the others.
Of course, they couldn't have done all that with their own cultivation level.
But what can they do when they all have a good teacher?
The four Pangus possessed such cultivation levels that even if they shared a small portion of the boundless golden flowers they had seized with their divine senses, it would still be more than enough for them to enjoy.
However, at this moment, everyone had to listen to Hongjun's sermon while also vying for the golden flowers in the sky, so they naturally had no time to pay attention to others.
Otherwise, if they saw what happened to Guan Kong and the others, they would probably feel a pang of sadness in their hearts.
This is the true meaning of arduous spiritual practice; sometimes, it's even better to have a strong and capable teacher...
