Chapter 32 Hongjun, Despised by Others
The powerful beings looked at Hongjun as if he were a venomous snake, filled with awe and fear.
The next instant, the three Pure Ones and Nuwa all took two steps back without making a sound.
In an instant, Hongjun's face twitched uncontrollably.
In his heart, he cursed Rahu a thousand times over!
After a long while, he finally regained his composure.
"It is my duty to spread the Dao throughout the primordial world. There is no need to talk about sincerity. Just listen to the Dao in peace."
After hearing Hongjun's words, many powerful beings were still skeptical, because Luo Hou had deceived them too badly last time!
That guy is truly inhuman. Ever since that incident, many powerful figures have been caught in a mental breakdown.
Some gave up, while others acted erratically.
Just as Hongjun's forehead veins bulged and his hands cracked, Lingxiao slowly stood up.
Lingxiao stepped down from the platform and turned to look at the group of powerful figures. This action left Hongjun completely bewildered.
"Gentlemen, please hear me out." Ling Xiao then spoke righteously, "Back then, Rahu committed atrocities and ravaged countless lives. If it weren't for the intervention of the Sage who turned the tide, how could we, the younger generation, be here listening to our seniors preach?"
His chest heaved, and his words were passionate and forceful.
Immediately, Ling Xiao looked at the assembled powerful figures and said in a resounding voice, "The sage has the merit of saving the world, and now he is preaching to us. What benefit does he gain? Isn't it all for our sake? Yet what do we do? We consider the hero who saved the world to be a fraud, just like Rahu!"
"Our actions have surely chilled the heart of the sage. If anyone disagrees with what I have said, then please provide evidence to prove that the sage is a fraud."
"If there is no evidence, this crime deserves death."
After saying that, Ling Xiao flicked his sleeve and instantly sat down on his prayer mat, closing his eyes to rest.
Inside the hall, all was quiet.
It seems that Ling Xiao's words touched the hearts of everyone.
Back then, Hongjun led three demon gods in a great battle against the Demon Ancestor, and he truly paid a heavy price.
At this moment, Hongjun was filled with emotion. Looking at the group of powerful beings, he was calmed down by Lingxiao's few words.
Before their eyes, a hint of shame flashed.
For some reason, Hongjun felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Although he had his own selfish desires, he also genuinely wanted to restore order to the world, establish rules, and educate all living beings.
Along the way, everyone cared about how high he flew, but no one asked him if he was tired from flying.
Yet today, this stranger he met for the first time spoke to him as if he were a friend of many years.
The more Hongjun looked at Lingxiao, the more pleasing he found him to the eye, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "This boy understands me."
Jieyin and Zhunti, one cunning and the other reckless, though different in personality, are neither fools.
Seeing Ling Xiao praising Hongjun so highly, the two of them immediately stood up and echoed what Ling Xiao said.
The main theme is to elevate Gao Hongjun while belittling many other powerful figures.
Hongjun showed no expression on his face, but in his heart, he was overjoyed.
"These three brothers are all excellent."
Meanwhile, Tongtian, Yuanshi, and Nuwa all sat on purple prayer mats.
Seeing that the situation was settled, Hongjun looked at everyone and said, "The seating arrangements are now finalized. The sermon at Zixiao Palace will be conducted in three parts."
"Each time I preach, it takes three thousand years. This time, I will preach the Way of the Great Luo. In the future, I will preach the Way of the Quasi-Saints and the Way of the Saints."
As soon as he spoke, the sound of Taoism filled the air, and purple mist rolled in, engulfing the entire palace, making it seem like a scene from a fairy tale.
Many powerful figures felt a jolt of excitement and became even more eager to learn about the Great Luo Path.
"The Path of the Great Luo, the Path of the Quasi-Saint, the Path of the Saint—I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it too. The saint is so selfless, we really shouldn't doubt him."
"It is Fellow Daoist Lingxiao who understands the principles of things; otherwise, we would have wronged the Sage."
People were whispering among themselves.
Listening to the whispers behind him, Ling Xiao was filled with doubts.
He knew the development of all events in the primordial world.
After the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti, these six people will be accepted as disciples by Hongjun.
Then he bestowed upon the six of them the Primordial Purple Qi.
But now, his appearance has caused Yuanzi of Hongyun Town and himself to all sit on purple prayer mats.
Does that mean there will eventually be nine sages?
After thinking it over, Ling Xiao felt it was impossible!
Hongjun will definitely continue to follow the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. Even if he wanted to have nine disciples become saints, the will of the Heavenly Dao would never allow it.
He had read too many novels about prehistoric times.
It is clear that the Heavenly Dao had already developed its own consciousness during the conflict between the Dao and the Demons. It colluded with Hongjun, attempting to clean up the legacy of Pangu and then take control of the entire prehistoric world.
The entire world is connected to Pangu, which is why he drives many great eons, weakening the causal relationship between Pangu and the primordial world time and time again.
The six purple futons used for sermons at Zixiao Palace today are actually bait, symbolizing that the Heavenly Saints are destined to become pawns of Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
However, Ling Xiao was somewhat curious about how Hongjun would ultimately resolve this issue.
If the problem isn't resolved perfectly, he'll definitely try to extort more of his magical treasures and resources.
As for Jieyin and Zhunti, these two brothers.
Ling Xiao would absolutely not allow them to become Heavenly Saints.
To become a Heavenly Saint, one must refine the Primordial Purple Qi, which proves that one must rely on the Heavenly Dao.
Heaven can control their life and death.
However, the reason Lingxiao allowed them to sit on the holy throne was obviously to occupy the high position and freeload off Hongjun.
At this moment, as Hongjun began his formal sermon, everyone listened quietly.
Although many of the three thousand guests in the mortal world have already reached the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal, most of them are still at the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Therefore, many people focused their attention and listened attentively.
When Hongjun preached, his words became law, and heavenly flowers fell and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.
The Dao he speaks of is naturally the Great Luo Dao, which focuses on cultivating the primordial spirit!
Unfortunately, many powerful beings in the primordial world who focused on body refinement showed little interest.
At first, I could still concentrate on a few words, but after a few days, I started to drift off, my mind wandering to where I would travel after the sermon ended...
Among them, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are the most prominent.
Of course, Houtu listened attentively the whole time.
The other Ancestral Witches felt that Hongjun was deliberately targeting them, because the Witch Clan could not cultivate the Dao that Hongjun taught.
It's like listening to gibberish; who could stand that?
Not only the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but even Di Jun and Tai Yi, who have always been at odds with the Witch Clan, showed little interest.
The reason is that last time Ling Xiao impersonated Hongjun Ancestor and made up a cultivation method on the spot based on the Perfect World of Shrouding the Heavens, the Wu and Yao races actually made some progress in cultivating it over the past three thousand years.
Having tasted the benefits, they became less attentive to the Daoist methods of cultivating the primordial spirit.
At this moment, Hongjun had seen the behavior of both clans, but the actions of Dijun and Taiyi next enraged Hongjun.
