Chapter 22

Hongjun: Fellow Daoist, has anyone ever told you that you look like someone?

Chapter 22 Hongjun: Fellow Daoist, has anyone ever told you that you look like someone?

"Hehe~!"

Gu Changqing sneered, then looked at Laozi and the others coldly and said, "I left such a large stone tablet here; how could you not see it!"

After he finished speaking, a divine light flashed in his eyes, and the overwhelming will of the gods swept towards them.

Faced with Gu Changqing's immense will, which could be described as a Primordial Grand Luo, Laozi and the others struggled to cope with it together.

just.

They had only been at the Quasi-Saint level for less than ten thousand years, and even Laozi, whose cultivation was the highest, was only at the peak of the early Quasi-Saint stage. How could they possibly withstand Gu Changqing's unparalleled divine might?

Even so, they combined their wills.

But before Gu Changqing's divine will, it was like a small boat adrift in a raging storm.

Upon seeing this, Hongjun in the sky gave a slightly cold look.

"Sir, that's enough!"

Then Hongjun transformed into a figure and appeared in front of Laozi and the others.

Gu Changqing's overwhelming divine will immediately vanished without a trace.

Laozi and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

They exchanged a wary glance, still feeling a lingering fear.

They both saw resentment in each other's eyes.

There is both resentment at missing opportunities and resentment at the humiliation of today.

Especially for the proud and arrogant Pangu Sanqing, what happened today was truly unacceptable to them.

Therefore, they felt an unprecedented longing for those who had attained enlightenment.

They understood that this opportunity was probably not for them.

The primordial world is still too vast. I never expected that there would be a Primordial Grand Luo cultivator like Gu Changqing hidden in the shadows.

How many more remain hidden and unexposed?

Thinking of this, they put away their arrogance.

They had already placed Gu Changqing on the same level as Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

They belong to the level that should not be provoked.

Of course, if they also attain enlightenment, that's another story.

……

At this moment, Gu Changqing was not surprised that Hongjun could easily neutralize the shockwaves of his divine will.

After all, he was the first saint in the world to successfully attain enlightenment, and the power of the Heavenly Dao on his body was absolutely incomparable to that of ordinary saints and Primordial Golden Immortals.

In addition, he never used the full power of the great will of the gods.

"Heh, I thought you'd stay up there forever!"

Gu Changqing gradually restrained his aura and looked at Hongjun with a faint smile.

"..."

Hongjun didn't speak, but instead carefully examined Gu Changqing for a while.

Just as Gu Changqing frowned, feeling puzzled...

Hongjun shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it. Who are you?"

"What doesn't look like it?" Gu Changqing asked, frowning.

"Before I attained enlightenment, I met a fellow Daoist, and I thought you would be that fellow Daoist." At this point, Hongjun sighed regretfully.

"Now that we've met, why do you think I might be your fellow Daoist?"

"Last time, I only sensed his aura from afar and thought he had attained enlightenment."

Hongjun said calmly.

At this point, Hongjun continued, "Are you the one who speaks for the Innate Divine Path?"

Gu Changqing glanced at Laozi and the others, and said indifferently.

"I am the Lord of the Divine Court, the Holy Spirit Emperor! I am the Primordial God's Spokesperson you speak of."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun praised, "Fellow Daoist, you are fortunate to have reached this stage on the path of the Innate Divine Path."

Gu Changqing smiled inexplicably at this, but instead of replying directly, he glanced at Laozi and the others.

Hongjun immediately understood.

Gu Changqing knew perfectly well what Hongjun was asking.

It's impossible to reach the stage of enlightenment in a short time on your own.

It was precisely because he understood this that he relied on the Yuan Yi Realm to do things that made the gods of the Divine Court work for him.

It should be understood that if he needs to prove himself as a creator god, the key is not in the primordial world, but in the primordial world.

The laws and principles of the primordial world are even more profound and powerful.

But after all, it's not his own, and Heaven wouldn't allow the divine path to develop to that extent.

This was something that not only Gu Changqing and everyone else in the Divine Court knew, but Hongjun also understood.

This is also why Hongjun abandoned the path of gods and created the path of immortals.

That's why he praises Gu Changqing now.

They were simply curious about how Gu Changqing had managed to attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao in such a short time, under the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.

However, Hongjun never expected this.

Gu Changqing will have tremendous opportunities such as the Temple of Gods, the Tablet of Destiny, and a completely autonomous world.

"Taiqing!"

"Teacher!" Lao Tzu replied respectfully.

"This matter is over, you may all return!" Hongjun said calmly.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, everyone replied respectfully in unison.

Then they silently parted ways.

What was supposed to be a wonderful opportunity turned into a disastrous departure.

They really hadn't expected this situation.

……

After Laozi and the others left.

Only the avatars of Hongjun and Gu Changqing remained within the innate grand formation.

After a long silence, Gu Changqing asked first, "When did you attain the Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun raised an eyebrow.

It should be noted that only a few years after his three lectures ended, he had not told anyone else about his attainment of Dao except for the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace.

And Gu Changqing actually knew that he would undergo the Dao Integration Cultivation after his three lectures.

However, Hongjun still responded, "Immediately!"

"Since that's the case, the grand scheme of the primordial Heavenly Dao will continue, and I will not interfere further. In exchange, I demand the position of Lord of the Heavenly Realm!"

At this point, Gu Changqing stared intently at Hongjun.

As expected, Hongjun frowned slightly upon hearing this.

However, upon considering Gu Changqing's identity, he suddenly understood.

After considering it for a moment, he said, "Okay!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But only after the next great kalpa!"

After the next great kalpa?

That's fine too. Anyway, the Divine Court, himself, and his original body just need some time to try to truly succeed in attaining enlightenment before the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

Gu Changqing thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Alright! I accept the timeframe of one great kalpa!"

Hongjun also breathed a sigh of relief.

The major powers in the primordial world today are either descendants of Pangu or innate deities transformed into human form.

The primordial world he governs has no need for an existence with such a high lower limit and a high upper limit, one that is too big to be controlled.

A race with both a low lower limit and a low upper limit is what the future of the primordial world needs most.

Therefore, necessary cleansing still needs to be carried out during this kalpa.

"In that case, I hope you will keep your word."

"Hehe, my word is law, and I keep my promise!"

……

The First Realm.

After the Holy Spirit Emperor's avatar packed up and brought back several innate gourds along with their vines, he heard some good news.

His more than eight thousand innate holy spirits have all been born.

Including the first born innate holy spirit queen Li Ling'er, there are a total of 8,888 innate holy spirits.

However, there was one thing he hadn't expected.

These more than 8,000 innate holy spirits were all composed of women.

Even the person involved, Xiaosheng, the Tree of Life, didn't know why this was happening.
