Chapter Eighteen: Hongjun Transmits the Teachings and Converts the Multitude of Immortals Above the Purple Mist

  As soon as the saint spoke, heaven and earth responded, and in the vast wilderness, countless plants, trees, soil, and rocks gained spiritual awareness and transformed into refined demons.

  Zhenyuanzi listened, but thought to himself: "It turns out that this teacher also doesn't like students who are late or leave early. It seems that no matter whether it's ancient times or modern times, teachers all have similar characteristics."

  Hongjun's teachings, the transmission of the Purple Mansion, is the first great event since the opening of heaven and earth. To know that when heaven and earth first opened, the desolate wilderness was perilous, the five elements were not balanced, yin and yang were not in harmony, the creatures of the desolate wilderness, although they had extraordinary talents, did not have a method for cultivating their skills, and survival was difficult. The Ancestor Hongjun taught without distinction, causing countless creatures on the vast earth to awaken their spiritual intelligence because of him, and countless creatures to survive because of him. After him, the Dao flourished, the Great Dao was transmitted universally, and thus he had boundless merit.

  Such a grand occasion, how could Zhenyuanzi miss it? Moreover, he had no opportunity to interact with other living beings, and was quite ignorant of the matters of Honghuang. At that time, the Purple Mansion would surely gather many sages, and all the great masters would be present, just in time to meet them.

  Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, two hundred years have passed. Suddenly, a palace appeared in the sky, not very large, with no luxurious decorations, but simple and elegant. On the gate of the palace, three big characters "Zi Xuan Palace" were written.

  At this time, it has been 22,200 years since Pangu opened up the sky.

  That palace appeared in its true form in the chaotic sky and did not stay, flying further away beyond the thirty-three heavens.

  Zi Xuan Palace appears in the Primordial Chaos, informing the creatures of the Primordial Chaos of its appearance; flying to the Thirty-Three Heavens is to test the cultivation of all living beings and see if they have the qualifications to ascend to Zi Xuan Palace to listen to the lectures.

  To know that outside the Thirty-Three Heavens is the midst of chaos. Therefore, to reach the Purple Mansion, one must not only set out immediately and follow the traces of flight, but also deal with the gale storms and thunderbolts of the Thirty-Three Heavens and the chaos within. If you miss the opportunity, the traces of the Purple Mansion will disappear and it will be difficult to find again. Even if you grasp the opportunity, if your cultivation is not enough, forcing yourself to succeed will also result in throwing away your life!

  It seems that Master Hongyuan, although having no class in teaching, also makes choices based on moral character and does not indiscriminately accept everyone.

  Is this matter difficult to get rid of Zhenyuanzi? Immediately collect the items and turn on the divine power, chase after the Purple Haze Palace.

  His skills, among the innate divine demons left by Hongmeng, are also top-notch. It's just that he has always been unwilling to show off, letting others see his depth, so he neither rushes nor lags behind, neither taking the lead nor falling too far behind.

  Just as they were about to enter the chaotic void after thirty-three days, Zhenyuanzi suddenly heard someone shouting loudly behind him: "Fellow Taoist ahead! Please stay your steps!"

  When Zhenyuanzi turned his head to look, he saw a Taoist priest who looked like a young man with a handsome face and kind eyes. Although he was dressed in Taoist attire, he wore a red robe, which did not look out of place on him, but rather added to his spiritual aura.

  The Taoist approached and saw Zhenyuanzi. He bowed his head and said: "I am Hongyun, may I ask the honorable name of my fellow Taoist?"

  Zhenyuanzi heard the words and was taken aback, secretly laughing in his heart. He thought to himself: "So this is that infamous First Honghuang unlucky devil, a pre-heavenly spirit demon doomed to die. I didn't expect to meet him so soon."

  However, he was not a man of mere momentum. He immediately composed himself and replied with courtesy: "I am Zhenyuanzi. Fellow Daoist Hongyun has called out to me; what is it that you want? If there's something important to discuss, we can do so later. Let us not miss this excellent opportunity to hear the Daoist patriarch's lecture!"

  Hongyun, for some reason, had a good impression of Zhenyuanzi and felt a strong affinity with him. He said: "I see that you want to enter the chaotic void, so I'll call out to you and go up together with me. I am the incarnation of Lingyun, not afraid of the calamity of the chaotic void, and can ensure your safety!"

  The two of them didn't know that this fate was tied together in the primordial chaos! The red cloud was actually the one saved by Zhenyuanzi when he obtained the pre-heavenly fire source and refined the creation tripod. At that time, he was fighting with a strange bird and had his life at stake, but just as the creation tripod emitted five sounds and five colors, it startled the strange bird, allowing him to escape with his life. However, this cause and effect was unknown to both of them.

  Zhenyuanzi saw Hongyun's enthusiasm and also felt a sense of goodwill. Although he was humble, why should he be afraid of the divine thunderbolt in the midst of chaos? It was just that the other party's kind intentions made him unbearable to disobey, so he traveled with Hongyun together.

  In the midst of chaos, that red cloud relied on its innate spiritual nature, and it was as if returning home, extremely familiar. It led Zhenyuanzi to turn left and right, and before long, they arrived at the gate of the Purple Mansion. The divine thunder and lightning, whirlwinds, and catastrophic clouds in the midst of chaos were not encountered even once.

  That red cloud was the heart of a young man, extremely enthusiastic, all the way chatting with Zhenyuanzi, talking about the wonders of the vast wilderness and the old stories of Hongmeng, not stopping for a moment. He was the incarnation of the chaotic cloud, liking to drift around, rarely having a still moment. Moreover, he had cultivated the technique of flying rainbow, his speed was extremely fast, so whether it was Hongmeng or the vast wilderness, he had traveled through more than half, and most of the strange things and anecdotes were known to him. Zhenyuanzi, except for Pangu, had no dealings with other living beings, at first, listening to them opened his eyes wide. Occasionally asking some questions, increased the red cloud's sense of accomplishment, and the enthusiasm for telling stories was even higher.

  Now is not the time for idle chatter, Zhenyuanzi's mind was preoccupied and he didn't have much interest in chatting, so they gradually fell into an awkward silence. Hongyun saw that Zhenyuanzi was like this and didn't mind, continuing to speak to himself.

  The gate of the Purple Mansion was wide open, and it was receiving a large number of people. When the two of them entered, they saw that many souls had already arrived. Inside the palace, there was only one high platform in the north, with no seats below. The arriving souls were bustling about, each calling out to their friends and companions, looking for a place to sit down.

  At this time, they were all vying with each other, making every effort to move forward and occupy the positions close to the high platform. Unlike the classrooms of later generations, it can be seen that they admired Hong Jun very much. Those who arrived late could only look for a position in the back.

  When Zhenyuanzi and the two arrived, the front half of the Purple Cloud Palace near the high platform was already occupied, filled with living beings. These living beings were mostly transformed into human form, but there were also many strange shapes. The back half, which was farther away from the high platform, still had many empty seats. Zhenyuanzi didn't pick and choose either, pulling Hongyun to sit down in a random spot in the middle of the empty space.

  Hong Yun was delighted to see such a lively scene, and his expression was also greatly excited. He naturally liked the excitement and had extensive social connections. Among the people in the hall, Zhenyuanzi didn't know anyone, but he knew more than half of them. Immediately, he took out his treasure-like introduction and began introducing himself to Zhenyuanzi.

  The three people sitting in the most superior position are indeed the Three Pure Ones, namely the Jade Purity, the Supreme Purity and the Grand Purity. They are the embodiment of the Three Purities as one entity, with profound magical powers. With their combined strength, they naturally occupy the front seats.

  Below the Three Purities, there are the twelve ancestral witches. They originally manipulated dragons and snakes, were born with strange appearances, but at this time they also feared shocking the world and startling the common people, so they transformed into ordinary appearances, only still unable to conceal their fierce and ferocious auras. There were ten men and two women among them. The two women were Xuanming and Houtu.

  Below the ancestral witch, four female immortals are seated, chatting and laughing with Xu Ming's Queen of the Earth. They are whispering to each other, in perfect harmony. These four female immortals are all elegant and refined, with bright and beautiful writing styles, heavenly beauty that dazzles the eyes, and faces that surpass those of mortals - they are the four goddesses: Nüwa, Xiwangmu, Changxi, and Xihe.

  Next, there was a Taoist priest, wearing a green Taoist robe and a green Yang crown on his head. He looked very majestic and was the Eastern King Gong. Closely following him were two male immortals, both of whom had a rich and handsome appearance, with noble and dignified faces, born with an imperial aura, making people feel close to them - they were Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi.

  Di Jun was a good dancer with long sleeves, although he had dignity, he didn't keep people at arm's length, but instead made people feel like they were in the warm spring breeze. At this grand gathering, it was time to show off, so he chatted and laughed with the surrounding immortals, occasionally transmitting joyful laughter.

  Behind them, there was a male immortal with a fierce appearance, his muscles were bulging and he was full of masculine energy - it was the god of thunder. However, although he looked fierce, his eyes were dodgy and he kept sneaking glances at the six female immortals. Even when Emperor Jun deliberately talked to him, he was distracted and responded perfunctorily. His lewd expression was completely out of sync with his appearance, making people feel strange and uneasy.

  Behind them, in order, were Fuxi and Zhu Long. Zhu Long had also transformed into a man with a full head of red hair, but still had a single horn on his head, and had grown a pair of eyes, one like fire and the other like water, which showed that he was no ordinary person at first glance. He was an old acquaintance of Zhenyuanzi, but had been scattered by Zhenyuanzi for a period of spiritual consciousness, so Zhenyuanzi recognized him, but he did not recognize Zhenyuanzi.

  Fuxi was the elder brother of Nüwa, with spiritual powers and abilities originally superior to those of Nüwa. The two siblings calculated the great calamity of the opening of heaven before Pangu opened the sky, so they avoided going to the edge of Hongmeng. However, in the end, they still could not completely avoid being swept away by the remaining wind from the three axes of Pangu. Fuxi was the elder brother and suffered another blow while protecting Nüwa, resulting in a significant decline in his cultivation, making him inferior to Nüwa now. When he arrived at the Zixiao Palace, he did not want to rely on his younger sister for protection, so people laughed at him, and he ended up being placed behind her.

  Hongyun was just introducing Zhenyuanzi when he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!" and said viciously, "This damned bird fish has also come!" His words were filled with resentment. When Zhenyuanzi followed his gaze, he saw an old man with a bald head, pointed top, green eyes, and a hooked nose, who looked extremely ugly and was staring at Hongyun as if he wanted to devour him.

  It turned out to be Kunpeng Laozu!

  Kun Peng was an old acquaintance of Hong Yun, and it was the monster that had transformed from the primordial chaos. The two were old enemies and arch-nemesis. Since Hong Yun was accidentally rescued by Zhen Yuanzi's treasure refining, Kun Peng did not give up and continued to pursue him, seeking opportunities to fight with Hong Yun. However, their magical powers were evenly matched, making it difficult for either of them to gain the upper hand. Although Kun Peng was extremely fast and had a natural affinity for water, which gave him an advantage over Hong Yun, Hong Yun also had the protection of the chaotic thunderclouds and could summon the calamity clouds from the primordial chaos to fight against Kun Peng on equal terms.

  They fought on and on, until they had forgotten their original intention, and were consumed by a fixed obsession, only wanting to put each other to death, in order to vent the evil spirit in their hearts!

  He had been fighting with Hongyun for a long time, and they were both extremely familiar with each other. They knew that at this moment, neither of them could gain the upper hand, and it was also inconvenient to fight in the Zi Xuan Palace, so they didn't engage in an all-out battle on the spot.

  Precisely:

  The first virtuous one since the creation of heaven and earth

  The moral character of the sage is infinite.

  The great way is universal and has no racial distinctions

  The Desolate World has a new sky.
