Chapter 588: Chapter 376: Gathering of All Saints_2

“`

However, now that Hong Jun has summoned them, they had no grounds to refuse.

The two Saints ceased their work on repairing the Earth’s veins and headed straight into Chaos, also taking the time to regain their composure and recover their state.

Netherworld, Earthly Hell.

On the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, Lady Ping Xin opened her eyes and whispered, “Daoist Ancestor.”

Feng Du City, Emperor Fengdu, sensing the Heavenly Dao, remained silent. He stood up, taking a step out and appearing at the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.

“Lady Ping Xin…”

Before Emperor Fengdu could finish, Lady Ping Xin said, “When the Daoist Ancestor summons, of course we should go.”

Emperor Fengdu nodded and said no more.

The two Saints from Earthly Hell left the Netherworld and entered into Chaos.

Demon Realm, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou seated himself at the highest point of the realm, which upon closer inspection, resembled Mount Sumeru in the Primordial World.

Clad in a black robe, he opened his eyes and said with interest, “Old Hong Jun has sent an invitation?”

This was the second summons now, the first had been against those many Chaotic Beasts, and what for this time?

He rose to his feet, his figure silently disappearing and when he reappeared, he had already reached Chaos.

Feng Qi Mountain, Nuwa Saint also left this place, but she did not step into Chaos, instead heading straight to the Heavenly Lingxiao Palace to meet with Emperor Jun.

Emperor Jun opened his eyes, equally curious about this matter.

What could it be, that the Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun would gather so many Saints?

Could it be that an external enemy has invaded Chaos again?

Having seen the Space Demon God, Yang Mei, and the many Chaotic Beasts before, Emperor Jun did not consider Chaos to be safe anymore.

After meeting with Nuwa Saint, the two did not delay and directly entered into Chaos.

All beings of Saintly tier who entered Chaos could see the light emanating from the Purple Cloud Palace.

Emperor Jun and Nuwa Saint were mentally prepared; knowing that Hong Jun had summoned them, the Purple Cloud Palace would naturally emerge.

There was no need for Emperor Jun to prop up the heavens as he had done last time, no need to report before the Purple Cloud Palace would reveal its location.

Emperor Jun and Nuwa Saint without hesitation flew straight towards the Purple Cloud Palace.

Except, as they were about to approach the Purple Cloud Palace, Emperor Jun imperceptibly furrowed his brow slightly.

For he had sensed Time Law and Space Law, subtle yet unmistakably captured by Emperor Jun.

Nuwa Saint beside him seemed to sense nothing.

Emperor Jun did not speak up, nor did he change anything, instead following the changes induced by the Time Law and Space Law.

However, he was equally interested in understanding the Time Law and Space Law of this place.

The Time Law and Space Laws here were not constant.

According to Emperor Jun’s observation, the effects of the Time Law around Purple Cloud Palace sometimes sped up or slowed down, while the Space Law sometimes stretched or shrunk.

Witnessing this, Emperor Jun thoughtfully pondered in his heart.

It seemed that the Time Law and Space Law surrounding the Purple Cloud Palace were controlling when they would arrive.

Moments later, Emperor Jun and Nuwa Saint arrived at Purple Cloud Palace.

At the same time, Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint, Lady Ping Xin with Emperor Fengdu, and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou also reached the Purple Cloud Palace.

The few Saints exchanged glances, already making their guesses.

After all, if all Saints of the Primordial at the same tier were present except The Three Pure Ones, it was likely related to Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s (Teacher’s) summons.

At this moment, Hao Tian Child and Yaochi Child opened the grand doors of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Hao Tian Child began, “Respectful greetings to the Saints, the Master has been waiting inside the Purple Cloud Palace.”

Emperor Jun nodded in acknowledgment and was the first to step inside.

There was no struggle amongst the beings, allowing Emperor Jun to enter first, without even the thought of competing.

Nuwa Saint followed closely behind, also nodding to Hao Tian Child.

“`

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou saw this and slightly furrowed his brows, but considering he had come in tandem with Emperor Jun, he remained silent.

After Nuwa Saint had entered, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou made no pretense of courtesy and stepped in directly.

“Lady Ping Xin, Daoist Feng Du, please.”

Jieyin Saint addressed them.

Being the last ones now, there was no need to sour relations with Earthly Hell over this matter.

After all, they were still in the honeymoon phase of their collaboration.

Zhunti Saint seemed to have something to say, but ultimately did not speak.

“Thank you, Daoist Jieyin.”

Lady Ping Xin spoke, accepting the invitation without hesitation, then proceeded into the Purple Mist Palace with Emperor Fengdu, after giving Hao Tian a nod.

Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint, being the last, also nodded to Hao Tian and entered the Purple Cloud Palace.

Hao Tian watched as the various Saints entered the Purple Cloud Palace then closed the great doors with Yaochi Child.

Hao Tian thought back to Emperor Jun and felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

Now that Emperor Jun was the Heavenly Emperor, while his own Heavenly Emperor Fate had completely dissipated.

Inside the Purple Mist Palace, upon seeing The Three Pure Ones, they felt neither moved nor surprised; this was within their expectations.

The expressions of The Three Pure Ones were not pleasant either, as they hadn’t expected these Saints to come together.

Would that not leave The Three Pure Ones isolated?

However, the Saints were rather surprised by the presence of Dong Hua standing there; it was unexpected to find another Daluo Golden Immortal within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Moreover, his appearance was very similar to that of East King, which piqued their curiosity and astonishment.

Perceiving his aura, it was of the same origin as East King, only far weaker.

With just a glance and a brief calculation, they saw the figure of a Tai Chi Diagram within the Heavenly Dao.

They then understood the connection between this person and Tai Ching Laozi.

Only Emperor Jun paid no mind to the Tai Chi Diagram, deducing Dong Hua’s foundation and understanding it in his heart.

Even though the events of the Primordial World had changed significantly from past eons, Dong Hua had still come into being.

At that moment, Lady Ping Xin’s and Emperor Fengdu’s expressions were grim. Even without detailed deduction, the appearance and aura were enough to know there was a deep connection with East King.

However, since they were in the Purple Cloud Palace, both maintained their silence.

The Saints who had arrived did not speak except Demon Ancestor Luo Hou; the other Saints bowed respectfully to the meditating Hong Jun before taking a seat on the mats.

As for Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, he immediately took his seat on a mat.

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou acknowledged that his Cultivation Realm was no longer comparable to that of old Hong Jun, but the idea of bowing a greeting to him was out of the question.

Especially in an era like Primordial where the number of Cultivators was rapidly increasing, the role of Outer Heaven Demons was even more significant.

He, as the ruler of the Demon Realm, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, had less to worry about and didn’t need to concern himself with such decorum.

Moreover, in Demon Ancestor Luo Hou’s view, Hong Jun’s current Cultivation Realm was the result of forsaking his individuality to merge with the Heavenly Dao.

He neither envied nor admired Hong Jun but pitied him instead.

After all the Saints had taken their seats, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun opened his eyes and gazed upon the many Saints before him.

He had called these Saints together as a cautionary measure against The Three Pure Ones.

Since Pangu God did not assist The Three Pure Ones—even though they were of the direct lineage of Pangu—Hong Jun pondered The Three Pure Ones’ contributions to the Primordial World.

They were not without merit, but compared to other Saints, they fell short.

Under these circumstances, Tai Ching Laozi wished for his disciples to assume the responsibilities of the Primordial Continent.

Especially since Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun understood Dong Hua’s origins, he did not believe The Three Pure Ones were up to the task.

It was better to let the various Saints collectively address the issues with The Three Pure Ones and discuss them together.

One thing was clear: Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun wanted these Saints to find fault with The Three Pure Ones and resolve the issues one by one.
