Primordial Era: Creating a Heavenly Court, Starting with Marrying the Queen Mother of the West

Apart from Haotian, the gods and demons in the front rows all looked at Hongyun in surprise.

Should I really give up my seat?

Those two guys were grinning from ear to ear.

Hongyun coldly said, "Get lost!"

……

The main hall of Zixiao Palace fell into a deathly silence.

The gods, demons, and powerful beings all had different expressions.

The smiles of Jieyin and Zhunti froze on their faces as they stood there speechless.

The two looked troubled; they realized they couldn't even fool people with good reputations anymore.

Hongyun refused, so they had to find another way.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded; this was the right choice.

Having fought so hard for this position, they will not give it up easily.

Zhen Yuanzi looked relaxed, all his worries gone.

The other gods, demons, and powerful beings looked at each other in bewilderment.

They understood that this was a normal reaction, but Hongyun's response, which was known for her kindness, was indeed surprising.

The surprise vanished immediately.

The struggle over the Great Dao is never about compromise, and Hongyun's approach was entirely correct.

This proved his foresight and demonstrated his steadfastness on his own path.

Jieyin and Zhunti had no chance and could no longer compete for the position on the meditation cushion.

Now, they must deal with this sudden situation.

"Brother Hongyun, you..."

Jieyin and Zhunti stared at Hongyun in disbelief.

The usually gentle Taoist Hongyun surprisingly refused them today.

How can they possibly obtain the position on the meditation cushion?

Those fellow Daoists in front?

impossible.

If he had dared to speak up, he would have been attacked long ago; he was far less approachable than Hongyun.

Especially the Jade Emperor. Look at the experts of the Alliance of Gods, none of them are inferior to them. The Emperor is even far beyond the Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection Realm.

If Hongyun refuses, the two will have nowhere to turn.

But we will never give up!

Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance, and Zhunti immediately came up with a plan, which Jieyin immediately cooperated with.

"Brother, we've worked so hard, and we can't even get two futons."

"I have failed the people of the West; I might as well be dead!"

After saying that, he pretended to run into a pillar.

Jieyin pulled him back, saying, "Brother Dao, why must you do this!"

The gods, demons, and powerful beings were all in a difficult position when they saw them using this trick again.

Are you determined to keep going until you find a place for a meditation cushion?

Why didn't the Dao Ancestor show up? Was he just watching the show?

This show is absolutely terrible!

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhunti rammed himself into a pillar.

"Bang!"

The pillar didn't move, but a bloody gash appeared on Zhunti's forehead.

This pillar is indeed very sturdy.

All the gods and demons present, especially those with profound cultivation and great supernatural powers, cast astonished glances.

Zhunti Daoist indeed spared no expense, directly ramming his head until it bled.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal at the Perfection Realm has severed the river of time and space, bound the timeline, and possesses extremely high physical strength.

Ordinary objects could not harm him in the slightest; only innate spiritual treasures had enough hardness to make him bleed profusely.

This behavior has tarnished the home of the saints.

The Dao Ancestor will no longer stand idly by.

"Gentlemen, this is where sages preach. If you continue your nonsense, please leave Zixiao Palace!"

The two attendants, Kongming and Kongxuan, could no longer bear to watch.

The previous pretense was tolerable, after all, they were all prominent figures in the ancient world.

But now the behavior is completely different.

If we defile the sage's teachings, what will other gods and demons think? Where will the face of the Dao Ancestor be?

Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed drastically.

As disciples of a sage, they acted far too rashly.

If the Dao Ancestor punishes them, the two will lose their positions on the meditation cushions and be expelled from this place.

They will lose the opportunity to hear the Great Way, and they will ruin it with their own hands.

In an instant, fear gripped both Jieyin and Zhunti, and a sense of trepidation arose within them!

"Thump!"

The bells rang, and time seemed to stand still.

Three thousand worldly travelers, their minds clear and their understanding of the Great Dao attained.

Jieyin and Zhunti calmed their minds and their emotions stabilized.

A figure appeared on the high platform.

Haotian looked at Hongjun Daozu and marveled at the great power of the sage.

With his cultivation level, just one glance was enough to cause his eyes to sting.

Even those with great supernatural powers and gods and demons cannot look directly at saints and primordial golden immortals.

They are surrounded by laws and protected by the power of the Great Dao, making them inaccessible to mortals.

"Greetings, sir!"

Kongming and Kongxuan bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!" Haotian nodded slightly.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

All the gods, demons, and powerful beings bowed in respect.

Jieyin and Zhunti knelt down first, their expressions extremely devout, their movements not daring to be the slightest bit slow.

They had just offended the sage's teachings and were worried that the Dao Ancestor would punish them.

"No need for such formalities!"

Hongjun Daozu spoke calmly, and with a gentle wave of his hand, helped everyone up.

"Thank you, Daozu!"

The gods, demons, and powerful beings all spoke in unison.

Then, the Dao Ancestor turned his gaze to Jieyin and Zhunti.

The two men's expressions changed drastically, while the other gods, demons, and powerful beings watched in secret, each pondering their own thoughts.

They thought to themselves, "Now we've played with fire and gotten burned!"

Jieyin and Zhunti's knees buckled.

That suffocating pressure, along with the killing intent emanating from the long river of time, almost instantly destroyed their Dao and primordial spirit.

Hongjun could annihilate them completely with just a thought.

Great horror!

"Dao Ancestor, we have come seeking the Dao for the sake of the beings of the West. You must understand our sincerity and forgive our mistakes!"

Jieyin and Zhunti immediately knelt down and kowtowed, their voices trembling, fearing that the Dao Ancestor would not only expel them but also completely annihilate them.

In this way, they will die completely.

Get up.

"I understand your thirst for knowledge on behalf of the Western beings. Please sit here!"

Hongjun Daozu nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and two more futons appeared behind Hongyun.

Jieyin and Zhunti will bear the karmic consequences of the Western Paradise, and the Taoist Ancestor will weigh their arrangements.

The gods, demons, and powerful beings all changed their expressions drastically, realizing that the Dao Ancestor's actions were unreasonable!

The so-called desire for enlightenment by Jieyin and Zhunti is a lie!

We also have a desire to seek the truth, so why do we treat them so specially?

"Haotian, why did Dao Ancestor do this?" Yaochi asked.

"Because of the Western concept of cause and effect!"

"Besides those two, no other Western supernatural beings are qualified to undertake this task, which is why what happened just now occurred..."

Haotian said.

The Queen Mother of the West, the experts of the Alliance of Gods, Fuxi, and Nuwa all nodded.

Many powerful gods and demons understood the meaning behind it and sighed inwardly!

Jieyin and Zhunti came from the West. Although the region was barren, they represented the West and received the cause and effect, thus gaining the opportunity.

This was indeed a rare opportunity, but unfortunately, others had already missed it.

……

Inside the main hall of Zixiao Palace!

Jieyin and Zhunti secretly rejoiced, for this was a golden opportunity.

The Dao Ancestor did not punish them; instead, he treated them with sincerity and placed immense trust in them.

Very good!

How lucky!

The Dao Ancestor's kindness is immeasurable.

In this way, not only will one obtain the position of the meditation cushion, but according to the Taoist patriarch's methods, one will also receive great benefits.

This benefit will not only benefit oneself, but also all living beings in the West.

Looking at those gods, demons, and monsters, the eyes of the powerful figures were filled with jealousy.

Jieyin and Zhunti felt very pleased after seeing this.

I love the way you guys are—you hate me but can't do anything about it!

They thought this in their hearts, but said aloud, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"

After Jieyin and Zhunti finished their thanks, they went directly to the newly set-up prayer mat by the Dao Ancestor and sat down.

Whether it was Hongyun, or the important figures like Dijun, Taiyi, and Zhenyuanzi behind them, they all quietly moved away, unwilling to sit with them.

They are utterly shameless and have an audacity beyond measure.

But this cannot be changed now.

West, West!

This is their consequence; they must bear the result, they have no choice.

The matter is settled, and all the gods, demons, and powerful beings are dissatisfied, but they must accept it.

No one dared to disobey the Dao Ancestor, or they would be annihilated by him with a single palm strike.

The situation stabilized, and everyone turned their attention away, no longer looking at the scene.

"The location is set and cannot be changed!"

Hongjun Daozu looked at the gods, demons, and powerful figures, and said calmly.

They were warned not to fight, or the Holy Court would be thrown into chaos.

"I obey the Dao Ancestor's command!"

All the gods, demons, and powerful beings answered together.

They were dissatisfied with Duiyin, Zhunti, and others, but they adhered to the rule of not taking action to compete for them.

Hongyun is able to sit in this position because of this rule.

Hongjun Daozu nodded and continued.

"I am the first sage of the primordial world. I have preached three times, each time for nine cycles. You each cultivate for nine cycles, for a total of fifty-four cycles."
