Outside the Thirty-three Heavens, in the Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun sat on the high platform and talked about the Hongjun Great Tao that he had comprehended.
Hongjun Great Tao was comprehended from the Enlightenment Artifact in the Jade Archive of Fate. It contained many kinds of Great Tao Principles. Even though Hongjun had only chosen a few Great Tao to talk about, it still took him hundreds of years.
After the talk, Hongjun did not let the gods leave directly. Instead, he stared at each god for a moment, as if he wanted to remember each of them.
"This is my last talk. After today, I will fuse with the Tao and become one with the Tao of Heaven. From now on, the situation in the Untainted Land will not change. Hongjun will not come out!"
Hongjun Tao Ancestor was going to fuse with the Tao?
Apart from Emperor Yu and the other two, even the Three Pure Ones did not know about this. Now that they suddenly heard it, they were all very surprised and could not react for a moment.
"Teacher, after you fuse with the Tao, will you be the Tao of Heaven or our teacher?" While everyone was silent, Taishang stood up and asked respectfully.
"Hongjun is the Tao of Heaven, but the Tao of Heaven is not only Hongjun!"
After getting the answer, Taishang nodded thoughtfully. Although his teacher said it vaguely, he understood what his teacher meant.
After fusing with the Tao, his teacher would become a part of the Tao of Heaven. It might be a part of consciousness. He could influence the Tao of Heaven to a great extent, but he could not control the Tao of Heaven as he wished.
After fusing with the Tao, he would obtain unimaginable strength and become the most powerful person in the Untainted Land. However, there were pros and cons. From then on, he would become a part of the Tao of Heaven and be bound by the Tao of Heaven. However, he would be bound with the Tao of Heaven and would never have the chance to escape.
The pros and cons, as well as whether it was worth it or not, could not be clearly explained in a few words.
"Before I fuse with the Tao, I will completely end the karma between the Untainted Land and the Untainted Land before I become a Sage!"
As he spoke, above Hongjun's head, a few supreme treasures with frightening auras appeared.
The Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, the Four Immortal-slaying Swords, and the formation map!
Before the Three Purities and the others became Saints, Hongjun had silently bestowed these treasures to them.
However, he had given them to the Three Pure Ones so that they could establish their sects and become Saints. Hongjun had not erased the imprints in the treasures. Therefore, the true owner of these treasures was still him, the lofty Dao Ancestor of Hongjun.
"I attained the Dao from the Chaos and became a Sage after splitting open the sky. In my early years, I wandered the primordial world and found all sorts of treasures. Today, I've distributed them all. It can be considered as completely ending all karma before I fuse the Dao! "
Looking at the expectant gazes on the square, Hongjun raised his hand and pointed at the void. In an instant, the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the four Immortal Slaying Swords fell into the hands of the Three Pure Ones.
"The Three Pure Ones were transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit. They must have supreme treasures! I've bestowed these three supreme treasures to you when you became Saints. Now that I've erased the imprints in them, there won't be any hidden dangers when you control them in the future! "
After bestowing the most powerful supreme treasures of the primordial world to the Three Pure Ones, Hongjun turned to look at Nüwa. With a flip of his hand, a mysterious painting of mountains and rivers and a red embroidered ball appeared before him.
"These two items are the Painting of Mountains and Rivers, and the Red Embroidered Ball of Creation. They're both Chaos Spiritual Treasures. I'll bestow them to you!"
Although she did not receive a Chaos Supreme Treasure, receiving two Chaos Spiritual Treasures in a row was still quite delightful for Nüwa, who lacked treasures. Nüwa immediately put away the treasures and bowed to Hongjun.
"Master …" Seeing that the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and the others had received treasures, Emperor Yu and the other two immediately looked at Hongjun, hoping that Hongjun would bestow them some treasures as well.
"I've already bestowed the treasures to the three of you!" Hongjun looked indifferent. He did not even look at their pleading eyes.
Emperor Yu and the others were helpless and did not dare to say anything. After all, Hongjun had already refined the Three Corpses for them. If they did not know what was good for them, they might incur the wrath of Hongjun.
"Master, please take pity on us and bestow us with a Spiritual Treasure!" Seeing that Hongjun did not seem to have the intention to continue distributing the treasures, Emperor Jun could not help but lower his head and beg Hongjun to bestow him with a few defensive treasures.
"Master, so do we. Please take pity on us and bestow us with a few treasures!"
The deities were also very unhappy at this moment. "You are the Tao Ancestor. You said that you would distribute the treasures to settle the Karma between you and the Untainted Land. But in the end, you gave all the treasures to your disciples. We, who came to listen, did not even get a sip of soup."
Everyone said that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was selfless. Now it would seem that it was all nonsense. No matter how indifferent a person's disposition was, they would still have their own calculations in their hearts. I'm afraid even the high and mighty Heaven Dao would find it difficult to be truly selfless!
"I've finished distributing the Spiritual Treasures of fate. As for the other ownerless treasures, I've placed them on the Treasure-sharing Cliff in the southwest of the Purple Cloud Palace. Now that the preaching is over, you can go treasure hunting!"
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. One by one, they rushed out of the Purple Cloud Palace and toward the Treasure-snatching Rock. Since they had no chance of obtaining the powerful treasures, it would be great to obtain a few Primordial Spiritual Treasures. It was better than returning empty-handed!
Even the Three Pure Ones were quite tempted. Although they had become Sages and had been bestowed with powerful treasures by Hongjun, no one would complain about having too many treasures. Even if they did not use them in the future, they could still bestow them on their disciples!
Hongjun was well aware of the Three Pure Ones and the others' expressions. He immediately reprimanded them with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
"You are already Sages. You should have the dignity of a Sage and protect the face of a Sage. If you put down your pride and fought for the ordinary Spiritual Treasures like the other deities, wouldn't you be degrading yourself?"
"I know I was wrong!" The Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and the others bowed and admitted their mistakes.
"Next, I'm going to merge with the Tao. If you have nothing else, you can leave! In the future, if the tribulation doesn't arise and Hongjun doesn't come out, the Untainted World will be managed by you Sages! "
Sighing softly, Hongjun waved his hand and motioned for the Three Pure Ones and the others to leave the Purple Cloud Palace.
"We bid farewell to Teacher!"
Although the Three Pure Ones and the others had strong minds, they still felt a little sad in the face of such a scene. This time, they bowed to their teacher, Hongjun. When they met again in the future, Hongjun would be the Way of Heaven. It was unknown whether he would be willing to admit that he was their teacher again.
Hongjun nodded and waved at Emperor Yu and the others, who were about to leave. "You three stay here. Before merging with the Tao, I have something to tell you!"
Emperor Yu and the others were a little surprised, but they did not dare to disobey Hongjun's orders. They could only stay where they were.
Although the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa felt a little strange, they did not dare to say anything. After slowly retreating from the Purple Cloud Palace, they heard a bang behind them. It was the sound of the door closing heavily.
At this moment, the Purple Cloud Palace was completely sealed!
