Chapter 109: Hong Jun Lectures

  The demon world suddenly changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light! There were heavenly signs, and the rumbling sound was endless in my ears! There were echoes, and in the heavens and earth, there was only this sound!

  It is Hong Jun in the midst of chaos, and also felt the voice of Luo Yu!

  Luo Yu finished speaking, and the black light that had descended from the sky hid into his body! He slowly stepped into the demon realm's sky! The black aura on his body was getting thicker and thicker! Gradually, everyone couldn't see Luo Yu's face anymore! However, at this moment, the black aura on Luo Yu's body transformed into starry dots scattered throughout the demon realm!

  "Magic Domain, Establish!" Luo Yu said slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, the black spears connected to each other! They were incredibly massive, directly covering the entire Magic Domain space! The connected black spears took Luo Yu as their center, layer by layer encircling him, generating countless red threads that entwined in mid-air, forming strips of Rule Force that merged into the Magic Domain.

  Innumerable dust particles in the void are constantly being condensed, forming small clumps. The clumps continue to grow larger and form earth balls, which slowly revolve and gradually evolve into continents.

  The Demon Realm was founded by Luo Yu, but it was desolate like chaos! There were no flowers, grass, trees, or vitality, no sunlight or moonlight, only two eyes of Luo Yu transformed into the sun and moon, emitting a red glow that illuminated the Demon Realm. The spiritual energy of the entire world also began to undergo a transformation, fusing killing intent, evil energy, yin energy, ghostly energy, resentment energy, and poisonous energy to form demonic energy. The demonic energy churned, and all living things within the Demon Realm were infused with it, transforming into demons. However, this Demon Realm, although appearing as a world, was actually just a space, lacking self-evolution and self-generation, and was not a true world. It lacked the fundamental power of the world. This fundamental power disappeared at the moment when the Honghuang broke apart, and only appeared at the moment when the true world shattered, unless there was a treasure that contained the power of the world.

  At this time, Luo felt a familiar aura, it was Tongtian. Luo's eyebrows furrowed instantly, could it be that this person wanted to repay the karma? His own Exterminating Immortal Sword had been obtained by this person, and in this world, only Tongtian could use the Evil Extremity Treasure refined with his own vital blood. The two were after all from the same origin, or rather, they were two souls within one body.

  This Hong Jun makes Tongtian return the world's origin, which is to let Tongtian settle the owed karma. Alright, now that his own Heaven-Defying Halberd has been reassembled, these Four Swords of Exterminating Immortals will be given to him.

  Luó Huàn knew that he had transformed into the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm, and everything that happened in this world could not escape his notice. The entire world was under his control, and with a thought, Tong Tian arrived at his own Heavenly Demon Temple.

  Tongtian bowed to Luohou and said, "My master asked me to bring the origin of the world." He then took out an ancient gourd that was purple-black in color. This was the same gourd that Hongjun wore, which could absorb the chaos. The gourd was originally the seventh one on the Chaos Gourd Vine on Mount Buzhou, but it had flown away and was later accidentally obtained by Hongjun.

  "Because of the cause and effect, you can go back now."

  Tongtian Shili said: "The Taiyi Immortal Realm only has pure yang energy, and it is said that solitary yang does not last long. It still needs to borrow the spiritual power of the Demon Realm to balance and regulate."

  Luohui said, "It turns out that you had something to ask of me. But this cause and effect of returning the world to its origin is exactly what will settle the score with Hongjun."

  Luohu impatiently said: "Whatever" and with a wave of his sleeve, Tongtian returned to the Daluo Immortal Realm.

  In the vast and empty space of Daluo Xianjing, there was a surge of earth, water, wind, and fire. A purple bamboo pavilion floated in it, elegant and unique.

  The bamboo shed looks simple, but on it are the large Taoist characters circulating, and there is a strange fragrance in front of the nose. A bamboo plaque hangs above the door, with the words "Zi Xiang Palace" written on it.

  This dilapidated bamboo shed was actually the Zi Xuan Palace. Tong Tian shook his head, this was indeed the place where the founder of Taoism cultivated himself in seclusion. Tong Tian pushed open the door and saw Hong Jun and Yang Mei Da Xian discussing Taoist teachings while sitting on a rush cushion. He hastily paid his respects, saying: "Greetings, Master."

  "Hong Jun said: 'I already know, this Exterminating Immortal Sword has been re-cultivated by me, and many more restrictions have been added inside, it is not allowed to kill innocent lives, you can remember that.'"

  Tongtian Shi Li Dao: "I will remember Teacher's teachings!" He stood up and attended by her side.

  Hong Jun nodded and said to Yang Mei Da Xian: "In order to resolve the grievances of the Hong Huang Sheng Ling, I have decided to preach. Previously, it was not suitable for preaching, and now the timing is ripe, what do you think, fellow Taoist?"

  Yang Mei Da Xian said: "Good, I still want to listen to your great Tao, I thank you on behalf of all living beings."

  Hong Jun said: "Luo Yu has already agreed, but this passage through the two realms of space and the harmony of heaven and earth's spiritual energy still requires the assistance of fellow Taoists. It's just that..."

  The Taoist master Yang Mei said: "What you are worried about is that the heavenly screen will be broken, and there will be too many nodes between the two realms, and the demonic energy will invade, which will eventually leave hidden dangers."

  Hong Jun nodded and said, "This Luo Yu is a demon ancestor recognized by the Great Dao. I still believe that he will not kill indiscriminately, but the evil spirits in this demon realm will eventually confuse the minds of living beings, and there will be many more disputes to come."

  Yang Mei Da Xian burst out laughing and said: "Fellow Daoist seems to have made complete arrangements, but I don't know how many spatial nodes you plan to break through."

  "Hong Jun said: 'Four seas spring eyes, dark and mysterious blood sea, south of the heavenly fire mountain, not Zhou mountain. The most important thing is that this not Zhou mountain is too huge, it's not easy to control.'"

  Yang Mei Da Xian nodded and said: "I will do my best."

  The Da Luo Xianjing is full of spiritual energy, as if every day's cultivation can increase a lot. Although there is no vast land, the Honghuang Shengling still obtained relatively rapid reproduction and growth.

  On this day, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky. The mighty power of the Great Way came forth with great momentum, and all living beings between heaven and earth responded to it. Spiritual energy surged forward, pouring into countless lives, and within one day, countless people's spiritual wisdom was opened, and they all bowed down in reverence. A thick, calm voice resounded throughout heaven and earth: "I am Hong Jun, who has already attained the Way. Tomorrow, I will begin lecturing at the Purple Cloud Palace outside the 33rd Heaven, transmitting my Great Way. All those with affinity may come."

  Hong Jun taught the crowd, this is the first time someone has lectured on the Tao since the opening of heaven. All those with great wisdom in the vast wilderness rushed to come. However, the chaotic aura outside the 33rd Heaven was very fierce, and those with low cultivation were unable to pass through. The leader of the Three Purities, Dao De Tian Zun, appeared with the Xuan Huang Pagoda, protecting the three of them as they arrived at the outer reaches of the 33rd Heaven, where an ancient, rustic Taoist temple stood in mid-air, with three large characters in the center: Zi Xiao Palace.

  Tongtian looked at the ancient Taoist temple and said, "The master also cares about his reputation, it's not that bamboo shed after all."

  Yuán qīng qīng bó jì dào: "Shī dì bú yào luàn shuō."

  Translation:

  "Original lightly rebuked: 'Younger brother, don't talk nonsense.'"

  Inside the Zixu Palace, a divine altar was set up. However, the altar was shrouded in chaos and it was unclear what deity was being worshipped. The three Clear Masters hurriedly paid their respects to the altar.

  Inside the hall, a cloud bed, with the breath of the great Tao flowing and turning, hanging down threads of rosy clouds. In front of the cloud bed, six rush mats were placed on the ground. The three clear Taoists saw the rush mats on the ground and didn't say much, then sat down in order on the first three rush mats.

  Not long after, a large number of divine messengers poured in, seemingly unruly and unmanageable. However, once they entered the temple, they all paid their respects to the altar.

  Nüwa sat on the fourth cushion with Fuxi's help, while Fuxi stood aside, probably knowing that this cushion was not for him and did not force it.

  However, two of them sat down on the cushion as if no one was there, without giving in.

  This move immediately sparked heated discussions and widespread disdain.

  Hongyun struggled free from the grasp of Zhenyuanzi, his red hair and eyebrows standing on end. He was wearing a fiery red Daoist robe and loudly rebuked the pale-faced Jieyin: "Brother Jieyin, this lotus seat is not to be sat in casually! Only those who have been personally taught by our master can sit here!"

  Kunpeng shifted his gaze, his eyes gleaming with a hint of blue, thinking to himself that he must catch the attention of the Dao Ancestor in order to become an official disciple. Suppressing the arrogance of the receptionist would be a display of his respect for the Dao Ancestor. "You don't know the height of heaven or the thickness of earth," he said. "We are all willing to stand by and wait to pay our respects to the Dao Ancestor, but you people show no reverence for the altar - this is contempt for the Dao Ancestor! Hmph."

  Zhun Ti Dao Ren saw this and loudly scolded: "A mere tool for walking, how dare you be so arrogant."

  Kunpeng was suddenly furious, he respected Hongjun Daozu and was willing to be a substitute for his steps, but was ridiculed by others, and his own magical powers were not easy to come by.

  Kunpeng was held back by Emperor Jun and Taiyi in a struggle, saying: "Fellow Taoist, slow down, the ancestor of Taoism has his own judgment."

  Xihe and Changxi from the Taiyin Palace, the Blood Sea's Ming River, Zhenyuanzi, the twelve Wu ancestors of the Wu tribe, Rongdeng, Longzu, Fengzu, Qilin Huang, and some other unknown great divine beings, entered the palace one after another.

  These are all the powerful beings in the Primordial Chaos, and they almost represent the entire strength of the Primordial Chaos.

  At this time a young boy suddenly appeared, and Hua Tian said: "You all must not make noise, the teacher is about to expound the Great Way."

  Hong Jun sat upright on the cloud bed, beginning to expound his great Tao. The misty air surrounded the grand hall, countless immortal spirits accompanied the starlight of Zhou Tian sprinkling from the sky, everyone's three flowers gathered at the top, five energies facing the origin, auspicious clouds covered the top, body as if hidden and visible, what a wonderful scenery of the fairy family.

  Hongjun Daozu relied on the creation of jade discs, and realized the 3,000 great ways, each of which can become sacred. The way he preached is from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult.

  The Supreme Tao slowly flowed out of the mouth of the Ancestor of Tao, with each word being a precious pearl, shaking the deaf and awakening the dumb. The sky was filled with great light, the earth surged with golden lotus flowers, countless immortal flowers flew towards him, heavenly maidens scattered flowers, strange phenomena appeared frequently, and the great Tao's maxims appeared and disappeared in the grand hall, spreading the supreme truth of the Great Tao.

  Then the Taoist ancestor was a taste of only speaking and not transmitting. These great ways were either concise or obscure, and the lower immortals listened as if they were drunk, only to feel that the places that were unclear before were suddenly clear. When he spoke to the wonderful place, some were joyful in appearance, some covered their ears and scratched their cheeks, or cried or laughed, with a hundred expressions. For a thousand years, the Taoist ancestor stopped speaking, and said to the crowd: "You all go, and live up to what you have gained. The Purple Cloud Palace will reopen in a hundred years." After finishing speaking, he disappeared from the great hall.

  The entire Zi Xuan Palace was quiet, with everyone focusing their minds and burying their spirits in the pursuit of enlightenment. It seemed like a simple path, but somehow it had become difficult to understand, with some parts being extremely obscure.

  One by one, the expressions on their faces gradually became anxious, and big drops of sweat on their foreheads kept emerging like they were free.

  They were all great masters who lectured for the first time, with excellent qualifications, but when faced with the vast and mysterious Tao, they all became anxious, scratching their ears and cheeks, sweating like mud, and turning pale.

  Only Sanqing was a bit better, with even breathing and a smile on his face. After all, he was one of the three primordial spirits of Pangu, and deep down in his memory, there were still some insights from Pangu. With just a hint from Hongjun Daozu, it was like a sudden enlightenment, and everything became clear at once.
