Chapter 66 The Six Sages of Destiny Have Appeared
Chapter 66 The Six Divine Saints Have Appeared
Hongjun's words caused a great stir, leaving people deeply shocked.
All that could be heard was the sound of numerous robes rustling together.
The many holy beings of Zixiao Palace rose excitedly, their breathing becoming rapid, their eyes filled with fervor as they looked at Hongjun.
Having the title of Dao Ancestor's disciple is like being a crab, able to roam freely in the primordial world.
Which person with great supernatural powers isn't proud and arrogant?
Nobody wants to feel inferior!
Even if he doesn't become a saint in the future, with the protection of the Dao Ancestor, almost no one will dare to provoke him.
The Eastern King was overjoyed.
He was appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the head of the male immortals. If the Dao Ancestor did not value him, he would not have given him this position.
Dongwanggong, realizing the ingenuity of the idea, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, he involuntarily looked at the three Lingxiao brothers, his eyes growing colder and his provocation more intense.
snort!
To think that he, the Eastern King Duke, a great and powerful being, a top-tier innate saint, was bullied by these three like a wild dog!
I finally have a chance to avenge this grudge. Once I become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, dealing with these three brothers will be a piece of cake.
At the same time, the Three Pure Ones thought the same way as the Eastern King Duke.
With the position of a sage's disciple, how could Ling Xiao dare to be arrogant anymore?
By then, it might be too late for the three brothers to kneel down and apologize to them...
Ling Xiao found the look in Dong Wanggong's eyes amusing. Did this guy really think he had a chance?
No way, no way...
really!
At this moment, Hongjun announced the names of the disciples.
"The Three Pure Ones are the transformations of Pangu's primordial spirit. They possess the merit of creating the world and have great fortune. They should be my disciples."
Hongjun looked at the Three Pure Ones.
The Three Pure Ones were extremely excited. They quickly stood up and kowtowed to Hongjun on the platform.
"Greetings, Master!"
The next moment, a flash of purple light appeared in Hongjun's hand, and three balls of purple light, bathed in endless heavenly laws, flew to the top of the Three Pure Ones.
"The path to sainthood lies within it."
Hongjun spoke slowly.
The Three Pure Ones were overjoyed and each absorbed the Primordial Purple Qi.
Inside the Zixiao Palace, Lingxiao, Jieyin, Zhunti, Dijun, and Taiyi all remained calm and composed.
Jieyin and Zhunti knew that their elder brother would never harm them, as he was letting them prove their Dao through the laws.
As for Di Jun and Tai Yi, they cultivate the Primordial Spirit Method and the Perfect Method. They believed what Ling Xiao said when he impersonated Luo Hou to preach, and they were not interested in severing the Three Corpses and attaining enlightenment through merit.
However, the remaining innate deities were extremely envious of the Three Pure Ones!
Dongwanggong was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, but he dared not ask Hongjun to take him as a disciple. He could only pace around like an ant on a hot pan.
"Nuwa, you possess great destiny, and you should also become my disciple."
Hongjun then bestowed a wisp of primordial purple energy upon Nuwa.
Nuwa was delighted, accepted the Primordial Purple Qi, and then performed the apprenticeship ceremony.
The Eastern King was astonished. Even Nuwa had been captured?
He desperately wanted to prostrate himself before Hongjun, but facing Hongjun was like casting a seductive glance at a blind man; Hongjun didn't even look at him.
Hongjun, however, shifted his gaze to Jieyin and Zhunti, thinking to himself, "Why are these two unmoved?"
Everyone wanted to become his disciple, but Jieyin and Zhunti remained sitting there calmly, their expressions serene.
But he was unaware of it.
According to the original primordial trajectory, Zhunti and Jieyin would indeed ask Hongjun to accept them as disciples after the three lectures at Zixiao Palace.
But now that they have Ling Xiao as their big brother, they don't take the dignified Dao Ancestor seriously at all.
Who is the eldest brother?
In the eyes of Jieyin and Zhunti, their elder brother was someone who fought alongside the Great God Pangu.
If someone were to become Hongjun's disciple, it would be a disgrace to his elder brother.
Their visit to Zixiao Palace was merely a facade of respect for Hongjun.
Although they didn't know why their elder brother had repeatedly praised Hongjun, they guessed that their elder brother was probably plotting something.
At this moment, Hongjun realized that Jieyin and Zhunti were not even looking at him.
This is very embarrassing.
"Jieyin and Zhunti, you two are sacred beings of the West. Although Rahu detonated the Western ley lines during the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic Path, this matter also has its cause and effect with me. I wish to accept you two as my nominal disciples. Are you willing?"
Upon hearing this, Styx, Kunpeng, Dongwanggong, Fuxi...
They all looked at Jieyin and Zhunti with envy.
The great fortune has arrived, and no one can stop it!
However, to everyone's surprise, Jieyin and Zhunti frowned and did not get up to perform the apprenticeship ceremony. Instead, a look of disgust appeared in their eyes.
Everyone was surprised.
There is a reason for guiding and assisting Zhunti.
Their eldest brother, Ling Xiao, is of the same generation as Pan Gu. If he were to become this old guy's disciple, then this old guy would take advantage of their eldest brother.
The mere position of a disciple of a sage has caused my elder brother to lose face?
This is a losing proposition!
Jieyin and Zhunti instantly understood and were about to speak up and firmly refuse.
However, Ling Xiao gave a signal with his eyes, and the two brothers understood immediately.
The three had been together for many years, and they understood each other with just a glance.
Jieyin and Zhunti, however, still felt that this was a losing proposition and would affect their elder brother's reputation for traveling the prehistoric world.
But she was also unwilling to disobey Lingxiao, in case her brother had some kind of scheme.
Therefore, Jieyin and Zhunti stood up, looking somewhat reluctant, cupped their hands towards Hongjun, and said indifferently, "Thank you, Master, we are willing."
The Eastern King was stunned, then shouted angrily, "You are truly blessed but do not know it! Is it an insult to you to take the Dao Ancestor as your master? He is the Dao Ancestor! Even if I were not his disciple, I would be more than willing to be a mere attendant."
Hongjun was also annoyed by the attitudes of Jieyin and Zhunti, but when he heard Dongwanggong's words, he ignored him and remained calm. With a wave of his hand, he bestowed two streams of primordial purple energy upon Jieyin and Zhunti.
Dongwanggong was speechless, thinking to himself, "Hongjun, how shameless of you! I'm willing to be your disciple! You old bastard, can't you hear me? Are you looking down on me? I wish you failure in your Dao attainment!"
No, he is the head of all male immortals, the master of the Celestial Court, and a disciple of the Dao Ancestor. He must have a place here.
Otherwise, how will we manage these disciples of the sages in the future?
However, Hongjun spoke at this moment, his ethereal voice resounding throughout the entire venue, saying, "The destiny of the Six Sages has been decided. Everyone, please depart."
The three thousand mortal guests of Zixiao Palace were instantly enraged!
The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti—six people in total—became disciples of the Dao Ancestor. But what about them? They didn't even get a sip of the soup.
At this moment, flames of jealousy burned fiercely in everyone's hearts.
"Alas, I have traversed the chaos to spread the Dao of Xuanmen in the future, yet today I cannot enter the Dao Ancestor's tutelage."
"It's a pity that I, Kunpeng, possess the ultimate speed of heaven and earth, but what use is it to run so fast? In the end, I still cannot become the Dao Ancestor's disciple to fulfill my filial duty."
"Gentlemen, how can we compare with the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti? We have humble origins and meager fortune."
"The Dao Ancestor naturally favors the outstanding and accepts them as disciples. As for us, well, we're lucky to even be here to listen to his teachings."
The cacophony around him left Hongjun feeling helpless. He sat on the platform and looked at the crowd, saying, "I will take out another wisp of Primordial Purple Qi. This thing has the potential to make one a saint. If it floats on someone's head, it belongs to that person."
Having said that, the wisp of primordial purple energy in his hand suddenly drifted towards the crowd, but it was unclear who it would land on.
