132: Taoist name

In Zixiao Palace, ten thousand years were about to pass, and Hongjun's sermon had already concluded; this time was left for all living beings to comprehend the Dao.

This lecture was about the path to the Quasi-Saint realm. Many Innate Sacred Beings were hearing the Cultivate method of Beheading the Three Corpses for the first time, so it was inevitable that they felt a sense of novelty and dared not attempt it lightly.

After all, the idea of beheading oneself sounded strange at first, and it was hard to associate it with a method that could extend one's path of Dao.

But upon careful deliberation, they discovered that it was indeed a method that could make one more aligned with the Heavenly Dao, improve the level of comprehension regarding the Law of the Heavenly Dao, and thereby further increase the speed of Cultivation.

With Hongjun, an ambassador who had successfully achieved Dao validation, standing right before them, the living beings no longer hesitated.

Zixiao Palace was suddenly filled with magnificent phenomena, as the sacred beings displayed their various Divine Ability, beginning to comprehend this unprecedented path of the Quasi-Saint.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti, Dijun... the vast majority were enveloped by layers of immortal light and strange phenomena, each seemingly having gained something.

Of course, there were exceptions.

Hongjun cast his gaze upon Taiyi in the crowd.

Although he was also surrounded by numerous rays of immortal light just like the others.

Hongjun could still see that Taiyi had already taken that step, with one foot already on the same path as those two.

Hongjun smiled faintly, not expecting to see fellow travelers among these many Innate Sacred Beings after those two.

Taiyi must have had contact with those two, otherwise, he could not have led so many Innate Sacred Beings with such rapid progress to take that step.

However, looking at him, he seemed to still be hesitant between these two paths.

Since Taiyi had an affinity with those two Fellow Daoists, Hongjun would not say anything about it.

On the contrary, he began to look forward to when those two Fellow Daoists would be able to walk this path to its end.

If it was still early, it wouldn't be bad for him to go join in the fun.

After slightly calculating with his fingers, he suddenly discovered that there were two more unfinished Karma on him.

It was actually the Karma between the Five Elements and Yin and Yang. This...

His state of mind rarely had some ripples, yet he felt some relief for the rebirth of these two Fellow Daoists.

It seemed he really had to find a time to pay a visit...

The ten thousand years had passed. Hongjun waved his whisk, "Wake up!"

The sacred beings had just awakened from their state of comprehending the Dao, their expressions still carrying a bit of trance.

Just at this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out:

"Saint is above, please accept a bow from Donghua!"

Seeing East Duke in a purple-gold Daoist robe, he took the lead and stepped out, performing a deep bow to Hongjun on the cloud bed.

His movements were exaggerated, his sleeves flying, and there were even a few drops of excited sweat on his forehead.

Such an appearance truly gave many Innate Sacred Beings a bad premonition.

This guy, he wouldn't be trying to suck up to the Saint again, would he?

Sure enough, after East Duke finished his salute, he continued to speak, "Only after listening to this lecture did I know what the supreme principle of the Great Dao is, and I have realized my future path."

"The Saint created the method of Beheading the Three Corpses, pointing out the path ahead for all living beings in the Primordial World. You should be the ancestor of ten thousand Daos, and can be called 'Dao Ancestor'!"

These words were spoken with sincerity, yet without any flaws, obviously prepared in advance.

Taishang Laozi's expression remained unchanged, but Yuanshi's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and Tongtian also looked thoughtful.

Nuwa and Fuxi looked at each other, both seeing a trace of speechlessness in the other's eyes.

The remaining Innate Sacred Beings were also somewhat dissatisfied with East Duke's actions.

This East Duke really wanted to show off in front of the Saint too much.

With him making this gesture, did they also have to show something?

After a brief silence, Jieyin and Zhunti suddenly got up from their Prayer Mat, "What Fellow Daoist said is extremely true. The Saint preaching to the Primordial World, benefiting all living beings, is indeed worthy of the title 'Dao Ancestor'."

This echoing back and forth made the atmosphere in Zixiao Palace suddenly subtle.

Taiyi stood by and watched this scene coldly.

He originally did not want to get involved, but seeing his elder brother Dijun nod slightly, he had to follow suit and stand up.

The two said together, "Dao Ancestor's lecture this time has indeed allowed us to benefit greatly. Please accept our bow."

With these few people taking the lead, the other sacred beings had no choice but to follow suit and express their stance.

After all, the kindness of Hongjun's sermon was real, and no one wanted to appear ungrateful at this time.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

"Dao Ancestor is merciful!"

The calls gradually rose and finally connected into one.

Although the Three Pure Ones had their own thoughts, Laozi was the first to get up, leading his two brothers to salute: "Greetings, Dao Ancestor."

Seeing this, Nuwa also said, "Thank you for the grace of the Dao Ancestor's sermon."

Hongjun sat high on the cloud bed, his expression calm.

His gaze lingered on East Duke for a moment, as if seeing through his little thoughts, yet he did not point it out.

Dao Ancestor, huh? It actually seemed not bad.

"You all have good intentions." Hongjun spoke lightly, "I am just taking a step forward and sharing what I have seen and realized with you all. The Primordial Great Dao is endless; I hope you all have your own gains."

Thinking about it a little, it was time to decide on the head of male immortals and the head of female immortals.

Actually, he had already kept it in mind last time, but unfortunately, among this crowd of Innate Sacred Beings, he had not found anyone as extraordinary and Yin and Yang compatible as those two Fellow Daoists.

But what needed to be done still had to be done.

So, before the others could react, Hongjun spoke again:

"The tribulation has passed for a long time, and the vitality of the Primordial World has risen again, showing signs of prosperity."

"Today, the head of male immortals and the head of female immortals of the Primordial World should be established to balance Yin and Yang and maintain the order of the Primordial World."

As his voice fell, there was another uproar in Zixiao Palace.

The head of male immortals and the head of female immortals; this sounded important.

On the surface, balancing Yin and Yang and maintaining the stability of the Primordial World might just be a hollow title.

But a title bestowed by the Saint himself had a lot to it.

From now on, walking in the Primordial World with the Saint's backing, whether roaming alone or establishing a force, would have a great advantage.

Thinking of this, many people were tempted.

Like Dijun and East Duke, strong figures who already possessed extraordinary fates, they had strong thoughts about this.

If one could obtain this position, great things could be achieved.

Although Taiyi did not react as quickly, seeing his big brother having this idea, he already wanted to recommend him to the Dao Ancestor.

But Dijun just shook his head faintly, signaling him to wait for the follow-up.

Since the Dao Ancestor had already spoken, it meant he already had a candidate; speaking now would probably be offensive.

Subsequently, Hongjun scanned the field and finally landed on East Duke.

"East Duke, you are the Transformation of the first wisp of supreme Yang Qi in the Primordial World, you can be the head of male immortals."

"Bestowed with the Top Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Dragon Head Cane, and the Golden Register of Immortals."

"From now on, all male immortals of the Primordial World must be registered in the Golden Register and pay respects to you."

After speaking, a Spirit Treasure emitting the aura of a top grade level, as well as an Immortal Golden Register, appeared in front of him.

Seeing this, East Duke was overjoyed. His two attempts to suck up to the Saint had finally paid off.

But on the surface, he still appeared calm and declined, saying:

"This... report to Dao Ancestor, what virtue and ability do I have to be the head of male immortals?"

Hearing this, Hongjun frowned slightly, the little guy was still acting.

"Are you truly unable to handle it?"

Sensing that the Saint seemed a bit displeased—if he really messed up, that would be bad—East Duke quickly changed his tune: "I can, I can. Thank you for your trust, Dao Ancestor. I will definitely do my best."

East Duke put away the treasures and the register, and the joy in his heart could finally no longer be suppressed, showing on his face.

Seeing this guy immersed in his own performance, the crowd felt even more disdain for him.
