After Minghe left, Dong Wanggong dared to emerge and saw that the people he had recruited had returned to their former state in just one day!
Dong Wanggong was furious and roared at the heavens, vowing eternal enmity with Minghe, never to coexist!
However, Minghe paid no heed. As long as the Sea of Blood did not dry up and Minghe did not perish, what did it matter if he offended the entire Primordial World? At this point, Minghe no longer cared about integrity or reputation!
This was the Minghe who had been through hardships. If Taiqing Laozi knew that Minghe had become like this, he would surely be greatly shocked, thinking Minghe was also a transmigrator. Otherwise, such shamelessness was truly unlike a creature of the Primordial World!
Returning to the Sea of Blood, Minghe released the World-Ending Black Lotus and carefully took out the Three Lights Divine Water, pouring ten drops onto it. Seeing the World-Ending Black Lotus absorbing the Three Lights Divine Water, Minghe nodded with satisfaction. Once the twelve-grade World-Ending Black Lotus recovered its origin, he would possess another supreme innate spiritual treasure, thereby increasing his chances of defeating the Three Pure Ones.
There was no other way; dealing with the Three Pure Ones had become Minghe's obsession!
This had to be attributed to the psychological shadow Taiqing Laozi had cast upon Minghe!
At this moment, the Three Pure Ones were discussing the Great Dao on Kunlun. Taiqing Laozi, in particular, was racking his brain for ways to deal with Minghe, as this fellow became more troublesome the further along things progressed!
However, there seemed to be no solution. They simply couldn't kill Minghe, and the Sea of Blood itself served as his protective talisman!
After tens of thousands of years, a golden lotus bloomed on the Primordial Land, auspicious clouds spread for thirty thousand miles, and a vast pressure descended upon the Primordial Land!
Then, a faint voice echoed, "High I slumber in the ninefold clouds, on a prayer mat, I comprehend the true Dao! Beyond the primordial heaven and earth, I shall be the venerable master! Pangu gave birth to Taiji, the two principles and four phenomena follow! The leader of the Xuanmen, a single breath transforms into Hongjun!"
This voice seemed to whisper right in their ears!
"Hongjun has achieved sainthood!" Taiqing Laozi immediately jumped up!
Tongtian and Yuanshi were also shocked. After all, achieving sainthood was proving the Dao!
"I, Hongjun, have now proven the Dao and achieved sainthood. Beyond the chaos, in the Purple霄 Palace, I will lecture on the Great Dao in a thousand years. All those who are destined may come to listen!"
This announcement echoed in the ears of every great cultivator in the Primordial World, and all who heard it flew towards the chaos!
"Big Brother, let's go too, and listen to the words of a Saint!" Yuanshi said!
Taiqing Laozi nodded. This was certainly something they had to attend. Their Three Pure Ones possessed profound destiny, and how could Hongjun, who sought to merge with the Dao, do without the destiny of the Three Pure Ones?
Thus, Taiqing Laozi summoned the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, took his second and third brothers, and rushed towards the chaos!
Upon entering the chaos, Taiqing Laozi felt a pulling force from the void. He was certain it was the direction of the Purple霄 Palace. As for the other great cultivators of the Primordial World, he was unsure if they felt the same pull!
Flying in that direction, and protected by the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, the chaotic winds could not harm a single strand of the Three Pure Ones' hair. Soon, Taiqing Laozi saw a massive palace, which was none other than the Purple霄 Palace!
As the three of them landed, the palace gates had already opened. Inside, there were no people, but at the very front, six purple prayer mats were placed. All other prayer mats were ordinary yellow ones.
Taiqing Laozi glanced at Yuanshi and Tongtian. Seeing them nod, he smiled slightly and said, "Let's go!"
Naturally, the three of them took their seats on the foremost three prayer mats, from left to right: Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Shangqing Tongtian!
Hongjun, observing from the shadows, nodded. This was as it should be; his three fated disciples ought to sit in the front row!
At that moment, a woman in palace attire and a man wearing a Bagua Daoist robe also entered. Upon seeing the purple prayer mats in front, they exchanged glances, realizing this was a great opportunity.
Fuxi said, "Sister, you sit on it. I will sit behind you and protect you!"
Indeed, Fuxi knew this was a fortuitous encounter, but the two of them could only secure one prayer mat. If both sat, they would not be able to protect each other should something unexpected happen.
As for the Three Pure Ones sitting there without any pressure, they could say nothing. Perhaps their cultivation was profound!
Nuwa nodded and sat down. Fuxi sat behind Nuwa, vigilantly observing their surroundings!
Taiqing Laozi was also observing secretly. Seeing Nuwa sit down, he said nothing, realizing the seating arrangements were indeed planned!
Next would be Patriarch Hongyun and Kunpeng. He wondered how the two from the West would react!
Just as Taiqing Laozi was preparing to watch the show, a Daoist in red suddenly appeared and, at an extremely fast pace, sat on that purple prayer mat. Taiqing Laozi was immediately startled, realizing this person was none other than Minghe!
Could the plot be changing? Taiqing Laozi pondered silently, deciding to observe first!
Soon, a Daoist with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks also appeared and took a seat with such speed that even Taiqing Laozi was slightly surprised!
After the Daoist sat down, Taiqing Laozi fell into silence. This should be Kunpeng. Without Patriarch Hongyun offering his seat, what would happen to the two from the West?
Soon, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi arrived together. Seeing that the foremost prayer mats were already occupied, they didn't mind and instead sat behind Taiqing Laozi. Hongyun even winked and said, "Fellow Daoists of the Three Pure Ones, what a great opportunity!"
Taiqing Laozi glanced at Hongyun and remained silent. If things continued like this, would Hongyun still face the tribulation?
Tongtian chuckled and greeted Hongyun, as they had a very good relationship!
"Big Brother, Minghe is actually sitting in the same row as us. What should we do?" Yuanshi transmitted!
Taiqing Laozi glanced at him and transmitted back, "Let's observe the situation first, then decide!"
He also wanted to see what would happen when the two from the West arrived!
Soon, the Purple霄 Palace became increasingly crowded, with Dong Wanggong also arriving. Seeing Minghe in the front row, he gritted his teeth, but knowing this was a Saint's dojo, he understood the gravity of the situation!
Gradually, all three thousand individuals arrived, even the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Wu Clan!
Just as the palace gates were about to close, Jieyin and Zhunti from the West barely made it in. Seeing that there were no seats left in the front row, Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged glances, both knowing that the six foremost prayer mats represented a great opportunity!
Zhunti pulled Jieyin to the front and wailed, "We, the two from the West, traveled a long distance, only to arrive at the Saint's dojo and find not a single seat!"
"If we cannot listen to the Saint's teachings up close, how can we bear the Great Dao? Pity the beings of the West, who have just endured disaster, yet cannot..." As Zhunti lamented, he cast his gaze upon Kunpeng and Minghe. As for the Three Pure Ones in front, he could tell they were not to be trifled with. Nuwa also had a brother who subtly protected her, making her seem equally formidable. Therefore, his attention turned to these two!
