As time flowed in the Primordial World, the ten thousand-year period quickly arrived!
The day of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's third sermon was also approaching!
On this day, Taiqing Laozi finished tidying himself up, and Yuanshi and Tongtian were already waiting outside the door!
The three exchanged glances and then headed towards the chaos!
Soon, they arrived outside the Zixiao Palace. This time, they had come too early; no great beings of the Primordial World had arrived yet, and the palace gates had not opened. The Three Pure Ones could only chat at the entrance!
Soon, Minghe arrived. He glanced at the Three Pure Ones, snorted coldly, and walked to the side on his own!
Taiqing Laozi gave Yuanshi and Tongtian a meaningful look. This time was crucial. Perhaps, here, they could cripple Minghe!
Yuanshi and Tongtian received Laozi's glance and nodded. Then, Taiqing Laozi immediately unleashed the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and cast it towards Minghe!
Minghe had long been prepared. When the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda arrived, he had already dodged. Simultaneously, the God-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand, and he stared at Taiqing Laozi with a sinister expression! At this moment, Tongtian had already swept his sword across, and a large amount of sword energy shot out from the Seven Star Sword, directly at Minghe!
Minghe, however, did not dodge. Instead, the Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus emerged on his body, directly blocking a large amount of Tongtian's sword energy. At this time, many great beings also arrived at Zixiao Palace. Seeing the Three Pure Ones and Minghe fighting, they were all surprised, wondering what grudges existed between these two!
Donghuang Gong, who arrived, saw this situation and was overjoyed. He also rushed forward, his spiritual treasure attacking Minghe!
This time, the great beings of the Primordial World were shocked. Just how much of a nuisance was Minghe, that everyone who came had to fight him?
Minghe's face was grim. At this moment, Donghuang Gong shouted, "Shameless Minghe, you are a great being of the Primordial World, yet you tricked me out of my Three Light Divine Water on Three Immortal Island and killed the loose cultivators of my Three Immortal Island! I, Donghuang Gong, will not rest until you are dead!"
In an instant, Minghe was nailed to the pillar of shame!
The gazes of the great beings towards Minghe were more or less filled with contempt. After all, you were a great being, and if you did something so shameless, you shouldn't leave any traces, right? Look at you now, you've disgraced yourself!
Taiqing Laozi was surprised. He had not expected Minghe to be so shameless!
Immediately, the Coiled Dragon Flat Club appeared and struck at Minghe!
Minghe was no match for so many people. He immediately descended into the chaos and fled towards the Primordial World!
Taiqing Laozi did not pursue. Seeing Minghe flee, he was satisfied. As long as this Minghe was gone, then the Primordial Violet Qi would have nothing to do with him this time!
For this reason, Taiqing Laozi even guarded the entrance for a while. Seeing that Minghe had not returned, he then entered the palace and took his seat!
However, just as the Dao Ancestor appeared and was about to begin his sermon, Minghe returned, stepping just inside the palace gate. Hongjun glanced at Minghe, said nothing, and then declared, "This is the final sermon. It will last for three thousand years, explaining the path of a sage!"
Seeing Minghe shamelessly arrive just in time, Taiqing Laozi felt helpless. Why had Minghe become like this? Shouldn't he have been enraged and never returned?
It seemed that there would be many variables in the future!
As time passed, two thousand nine hundred years went by, and Hongjun suddenly stopped his sermon!
All the great beings of the Primordial World came back to their senses. Was it over? What a pity. This was the Dao Ancestor's last sermon, and also the last time they were so close to the Great Dao!
Hongjun looked at the Three Pure Ones sitting below and said, "The Three Pure Ones are the direct descendants of Pangu, born with great destiny and great merit. You three can become my direct disciples of the Xuanmen. Do you three agree?"
Taiqing Laozi saw that Yuanshi and Tongtian had not spoken, so he immediately said, "We agree! We pay our respects to Master!"
This was the protocol; it had to be followed!
Yuanshi and Tongtian also quickly agreed, calling out, "We pay our respects to Master!"
Hongjun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Taiqing Laozi, as my first disciple, you shall have a supreme treasure to protect yourself and suppress your destiny. This Taiji Diagram is bestowed upon you!"
With a wave of his hand, a scroll appeared before Taiqing Laozi, which was the Primordial Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram!
At this, all the great beings of the Primordial World stared at Taiqing Laozi with red eyes. That was a Primordial Supreme Treasure! How many such treasures existed in the world? Taiqing Laozi was actually bestowed a supreme treasure! These Three Pure Ones were too blessed!
Even Yuanshi and Tongtian looked at Taiqing Laozi with envy. As expected of the eldest brother!
"Thank you, Master!" Taiqing Laozi put away the scroll and bowed in thanks!
Hongjun then looked at Yuanshi and said, "Yuqing Yuanshi, as my second disciple, and also a descendant of Pangu, you shall have a supreme treasure to protect yourself and suppress your destiny!" As he spoke, a small banner appeared and floated in front of Yuanshi, which was the Pangu Banner, one of the Three Primordial Treasures for Cleaving the Heavens!
Yuanshi's expression was agitated, his old face flushed. This was a Primordial Supreme Treasure! He of course knew of the Pangu Banner, one of the Three Primordial Treasures for Cleaving the Heavens! He never expected to have a Primordial Supreme Treasure himself! He thanked him repeatedly!
Minghe, standing aside, watched with a grim expression, his eyes spewing fire. Yuanshi also had a Primordial Supreme Treasure now, how could he bully Yuanshi anymore?
Afterward, Hongjun looked at Tongtian and smiled, "Shangqing Tongtian, as my third disciple, observing your penchant for battle, I bestow upon you the Immortal Execution Sword Formation and its diagram for self-defense. This Immortal Execution Sword Formation cannot be broken by anything less than four saints. I hope you use it wisely!"
With that, the Immortal Execution Sword Formation and its diagram flew into Tongtian's embrace. Tongtian was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. This was a Supreme Treasure of the Sword Dao! He loved it so much! It could not be broken by anything less than four saints, just listen to how domineering that was!
At this, all the great beings of the Primordial World were envious. This was too extravagant! Who would dare to provoke the Three Pure Ones in the future?
Even Minghe's head drooped like a defeated rooster. Yuanshi and Tongtian had also turned their fortunes around. He was completely done for! Moreover, the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, he knew it! It was his Master, the Demon Ancestor's item, yet it was bestowed upon Tongtian. As expected, the Three Pure Ones were his bane!
Seeing the Three Pure Ones gain so many benefits, the great beings of the Primordial World all knelt down and begged the Dao Ancestor to take them as disciples!
Hongjun, however, waved his hand and said, "Nuwa, you will have great merit in the future. Are you willing to become my final disciple?"
Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Nuwa was so overjoyed that tears streamed down her face. She never expected that she could too! She immediately agreed!
Hongjun waved his hand, and a Red Embroidered Ball and the Qiankun Cauldron appeared before Nuwa, saying, "These two supreme-grade spiritual treasures are bestowed upon you for protection!"
Nuwa quickly accepted them. Although they were not Primordial Supreme Treasures, they were still very good! Having supreme-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures was also acceptable!
At this, Zhunti became anxious. If these were all final disciples, then there would be nothing for him!
He immediately cried out, "I beg the sage to show mercy and pity my impoverished West!"
Hongjun's mouth twitched, and he said, "Alright, then I will accept you as a registered disciple!"
After saying that, without any visible action from Hongjun, Zhunti continued to whine!
Hongjun was speechless, so he flicked his hand, and the divine staff and the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit were thrown to Zhunti!
