On the high platform, Taoist Hongjun stopped preaching, and the strange phenomena around him disappeared at this moment, as if they had never appeared.
However, the residual Taoist rhythm that permeates the Zixiao Palace proves that thousands of years of preaching were real.
Compared to before Hongjun's sermon, the aura of the three thousand powerful men was obviously much stronger.
The most obvious ones are the six people on top of the cushion, as well as Emperor Jun, Queen Mother of the West and others standing behind them.
After a while, when the remaining Tao rhyme was absorbed by the group of powerful people, the three thousand powerful people felt blessed and stood up at the same time and bowed to Hongjun on the high platform.
"Thank you, Saint, for teaching me the great way!"
"Thank you, teacher, for teaching me the great way!"
"Saint, have mercy!"
…
Even though everyone knew that Hongjun wanted to use them to spread his teachings to the world.
Even though everyone knows that they have to spread the great way, they owe the saints karma, and they will need to pay a huge price in the future to understand this karma.
But even so, they did benefit after all. With the help of the great principles taught by the saints, they saw the way forward clearly and avoided taking more detours.
The saints were calculating, so were they? It was just that both sides put the matter on the table, which was an open conspiracy that benefited both sides.
Therefore, everyone was willing to do this worship.
Facing the worship from everyone, Taoist Hongjun seemed calm, but only he himself knew that a ripple had occurred in his heart.
Now that the cause and effect have been established, things in the future will be much simpler.
After a moment, Taoist Hongjun slowly raised his eyes and glanced at everyone.
"The great calamity of the three tribes has passed, and the order of the prehistoric world is in disarray, with chaos everywhere."
"If this continues, it will be detrimental to the operation of the heavenly way."
"There must be a powerful person in power to quell the chaos and bring order!"
Hearing this, the three thousand powerful beings had different reactions. They naturally understood the true meaning of Hongjun's words.
The Three Pure Ones stood at the front, their faces calm and indifferent.
Di Jun's eyes were burning with passion, and it was obvious that he wanted to be the leader of all the immortals.
The Queen Mother of the West lowered her eyes, looking thoughtful as she weighed the pros and cons.
However, Hongjun did not give everyone too much time to think, nor did he pay attention to their thoughts. After pausing for a moment, he made a decision directly.
"The universe is divided into yin and yang, and those who govern order should be a man and a woman."
"Dong Wanggong, you were born from Donghua's most wonderful energy, condensed from the innate yang energy. You should be the leader of the prehistoric male immortals and lead the prehistoric male immortals on behalf of the Heavenly Dao."
"Today I grant you a top-grade innate spiritual treasure - the Dragon Head Cane. All prehistoric male immortals must follow the will of Heaven and enter the Purple Palace, worship Mu Gong, and enter the Golden Book!"
"Thank you, Saint!"
Among the crowd, a middle-aged Taoist priest in a yellow brocade robe stood out.
His features were dignified, giving him the look of an emperor.
His cultivation had even reached the late stage of Daluo Jinxian, which was considered top-notch among the three thousand powerful beings.
He took the dragon head cane and the golden book of the Immortal Palace with both hands, his face was excited and he kept thanking them.
Although the dragon-headed cane is precious, his attention is all on the hand of the golden book of the Immortal Palace.
With the Golden Book of the Immortal Palace, one will be recognized by Heaven and chosen by the saints to be the leader of the prehistoric male immortals.
From now on, your status can be said to be second only to one person and above ten thousand people!
He also didn't expect that such a great opportunity would fall upon him.
So much so that he did not notice that the eyes of the male immortals present looked at him with unfriendly expressions.
We are all Golden Immortals and are used to the freedom in the prehistoric world. Who would like to have another male immortal above his head?
However, even if no one said anything, no one took Dong Wanggong, the leader of the male immortals, seriously.
At best, they were just giving the saint a favor and, on the surface, giving some face to Dong Wanggong, the leader of the male immortals.
Hongjun saw all the changes in everyone, but he did not give any hint to Dong Wanggong.
I have given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it is up to you.
If you can't handle this opportunity, I'll just find someone else.
The position of the leader of the male immortals doesn't have to be you. If you can be the leader, so can anyone else! The reason why Dong Wanggong was chosen was just a choice made by Hongjun after he realized the way of heaven.
After a moment, Hongjun continued to speak.
"Queen Mother of the West, you were born from the most wonderful energy of Xihua, condensed from the innate Yin energy. You should be the leader of the prehistoric female fairies, and you should be in charge of the prehistoric female fairies on behalf of the Heavenly Dao."
"Today I grant you the ultimate innate spiritual treasure - the Pure Water Bowl. All prehistoric female immortals must follow the will of Heaven and must enter Kunlun, enter the Golden Book, and worship the Golden Mother!"
"Thank you, Saint!"
Among the crowd, a young fairy in white palace dress, graceful and elegant, stood out.
There was not a trace of makeup on her face, her skin was as white as ice, her movements were calm and dignified, and her manners were graceful. She calmly took the bowl of clean water and the golden book of the immortal palace from Hongyun's hands.
Compared to the excitement of the King of the East, the Queen Mother of the West seemed much calmer.
After Hongjun announced that Dong Wanggong became the leader of the male immortals, she saw the reactions of all the male immortals.
If the King of the East is not liked by the other male fairies, then I, as the leader of the female fairies, will not be liked by the other female fairies either.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother of the West was clear-headed enough to understand that fortune and misfortune are interdependent.
Becoming the leader of the female fairies is an opportunity, but also a calamity.
If I rely on this identity and force other female fairies to bow down to me for the sake of so-called status, I will eventually be left dead in the wilderness and end up dead.
After hearing Hongjun's bestowal, she positioned herself in her mind. She was just following orders and became the nominal leader of the female fairies.
You must never force other Daluo Jinxian to do anything just because of this identity. If they are willing to register in the Golden Book, then they can register. If they are not willing, that's fine too.
The most important thing is that she knows her responsibilities. Hongjun made her the leader of the female fairies in order to stabilize the order of the prehistoric world, not to abuse her power.
Although the ancient world is vast, there are not many Golden Immortals.
On the premise that the Daluo Golden Immortal does not deliberately cause trouble, by managing the ordinary Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals well, the order of the prehistoric world can basically be stabilized.
So she simply threw aside the idea of managing the Daluo female immortals and just wanted to register all the female immortals below the Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Even if it is considered as the initial establishment of the ancient order, some merit can be obtained.
Hongjun did not remind the King of the East, so naturally he would not care about what the Queen Mother of the West planned.
"Thirty thousand years later, I will give my second sermon here."
"If you are destined to meet me, you can come again then!"
After he finished speaking, Taoist Hongjun disappeared as quietly as he came.
In response to this, all the powerful people looked at each other and left Zixiao Palace.
It can be clearly seen that all the male immortals deliberately distance themselves from Dong Wanggong.
Relatively speaking, the situation of the Queen Mother of the West is better. At least she does not act as superior as the King Father of the East.
As the three thousand powerful men returned to the prehistoric world, the news that the King Father of the East and the Queen Mother of the West were in charge of all the immortals gradually spread throughout the prehistoric world.
After learning about this, many Taiyi Golden Immortals flew towards the overseas fairy islands and West Kunlun.
The West Sea is located in a remote area and the news is relatively backward. Almost no one knows about the return of the three thousand powerful people, and the same is true for Huang Long.
At this time, Huang Long had just broken through a large innate formation and came to the center of the formation.
