Chapter 102: The First of All Immortals
It has to be said that every word from Hou Tu was heart-piercing. Just one word made Di Jun and Tai Yi change their expressions, making them realize that there were wise men among the Wu clan, but they just didn't know enough about them before.

Hongjun's expression remained indifferent. Neither Dijun's words nor Houtu's rebuttal seemed to move him in the slightest. He remained as calm as ever.

Di Jun took a look at Hongjun's face and immediately changed the subject. He bowed and said, "Teacher, please understand. I don't have such an idea, but everything cannot be without a master. The Dragon and Phoenix Calamity was caused by the three tribes of Kaitian each taking the lead. Although I am not talented, I think there is a solution to this problem."

Hou Tu was about to refute again, but Hong Jun said, "What do you think?"

Di Jun was waiting for Hong Jun to say this, and he said respectfully: "As the saying goes, those without a head are ignorant. All things naturally need a leader. I am willing to be this leader, resolve the contradictions of all living beings, untie the entanglements of all things, and bear the cause and effect of heaven and earth!"

Hongjun nodded imperceptibly and said, "You have this intention, very good, if so, you can just do it, why bother asking me."

Di Jun remembered Zhunti's previous rogue behavior, gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and immediately knelt down and cried, "Teacher, your majesty is in my heart. How can I do such a thing without your permission? I only ask for your permission. I will be grateful."

Taiyi stared at Dijun's rogue appearance in amazement, then immediately thought of something, gritted his teeth and knelt down, saying: "Please allow me, teacher."

Although Fuxi, Changxi and Xihe were a little hesitant, since Dijun and Taiyi had already knelt, they had nothing to refuse, so they also knelt on the ground and pleaded loudly.

And since the demon tribe they brought with them were already accustomed to doing these things, even though they had not discussed it beforehand, they now began to kneel down and kowtow as if they had telepathically understood each other, making continuous requests. For a moment, the peaceful Zixiao Palace began to become noisy, and the other great gods naturally watched their performance.

"Is this an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate?"

Heng Ming turned around and said with interest: "How could the teacher be so easily forced by them? It's really too fantastic. I'm afraid that he is too clever and has made a mistake in his life."

Yuanshi Tianzun attached great importance to etiquette and laws. In his opinion, the actions of the demon clan could be regarded as an act of usurpation. If he were not in the Zixiao Palace now and he was proud of his status and did not want to roar loudly, he would have stood up and reprimanded them long ago.

After hearing what Heng Ming said, Yuan Shi Tian Zun nodded and agreed, "That's right, these people are so rude. If they want to make a request, they naturally have to make their own gestures. Now kneeling down and bowing is obviously forcing the teacher, which is really annoying."

Laozi and Tongtian nodded. Zhunti and Jieyin were originally Western gods who came to the East just to make some money. In addition, they had many insights in their hearts and had no intention of taking advantage of the situation. They still closed their eyes and practiced hard, ignoring the pretense of these people.

Nuwa originally looked down upon such behavior, but unfortunately her elder brother Fuxi was also among them, so she could neither be angry nor laugh, and could only sit on the cushion awkwardly.

After seeing this, Kunpeng was also hesitant and remained silent, but finally he sighed, walked to the demon clan's ranks, and began to kneel down and beg like them.

Hou Tu sneered and said, "Emperor Jun, I think you are now truly roaring at the purple sky and colliding with the saint. Are you forcing Saint Hongjun to make a decision?"

Although she said so, Hou Tu still felt a little anxious in her heart. If Hongjun really agreed to let Di Jun be the so-called head of all things, then their Wu clan would be in real danger.

So she had to point out Di Jun's actions, risking Hongjun's anger, and make him not pretend to be ignorant and nod to agree to Di Jun's request.

Di Jun turned a deaf ear to them and continued to kowtow and beg like everyone else.

After an unknown amount of time, Hongjun said softly, "Okay, everyone get up."

As soon as the voice fell, all the demons sat down involuntarily. Even though Di Jun wanted to kowtow and beg, he could not control himself at all. He could not help but be shocked by the great power of the saint.

Hongjun controlled them all so calmly without even the slightest fluctuation of his magical power. It was obvious that the realm of a saint was beyond their comprehension.

Hongjun nodded and said, "Emperor Jun, what you said is very right. All things naturally need a leader to lead them to the path of transcendence. In this case, I will agree to your request. Where is the King of the East?"

When Di Jun heard that Hongjun agreed to his request, he was overjoyed. However, when he heard Hongjun point to Dong Wanggong, his joy immediately sank to the bottom, and he vaguely felt something was wrong.

He and Taiyi looked at each other and saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes. They had a guess in their minds, but they were not sure. They could only wait and hope that Hongjun would not make a decision that would surprise them.

Duke Dong was also a little surprised. He was just laughing at the joke of the demon clan. After all, the Immortal Court and the demon clan were both competitors. It would be a waste not to watch. But he didn't expect that Hongjun would actually name him.

But since the sage called him, he had to answer. Dong Wanggong immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Disciple Dong Wanggong greets the teacher. I wonder what the teacher wants me to do for you?"

Hongjun said calmly: "Dong Wanggong, you are the incarnation of Donghua's most mysterious energy mixed with the heaven and earth's most yang intention. You are the ultimate of Dongyang. There are many practitioners in the prehistoric world today, and there are countless people who have achieved immortality. In this case, I will appoint you as the leader of the prehistoric male immortals and give you a dragon-headed cane. If anyone disobeys, you can use it to beat them."

Dong Wanggong was suddenly filled with ecstasy. He never expected that the opportunity would come to him in this way. The saint appointed him as the leader of the male immortals in the prehistoric world. Doesn't that mean that all male gods must obey his command? Dong Wanggong immediately said loudly: "Disciple, I will obey the order and live up to the teacher's trust!"

Hongjun nodded and asked, "Where is the Queen Mother of the West?"

The Queen Mother of the West, wearing a feather crown and a colorful cloud, also stood up and said respectfully, "Disciple Queen Mother of the West greets the teacher. I wonder if the teacher has any instructions for you."

Hongjun also said something that made the Queen Mother of the West ecstatic and the King of the East equally happy.

"Queen Mother of the West, you are the incarnation of the most wonderful energy of Xihua mixed with the most yin of the prehistoric world. You are the ultimate of the yin of the West. Since you and the King of the East have a husband-and-wife relationship, I will appoint you as the leader of the prehistoric female fairies and give you a bowl of clean water. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can wash with it."

Queen Mother Xi also said loudly: "Disciple, I will not let you down!"

Hongjun waved his sleeves, and a three-foot walking stick and a palm-sized bowl appeared. His powerful aura startled all the gods. They seemed to be top-grade innate spiritual treasures, making the gods present jealous, but they did not dare to show any disrespect.

The King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West stepped forward, took the dragon-headed cane and the bowl of clean water, looked at each other, and saw each other's high spirits and ambitions, thus ignoring the thoughts of the many great gods present.

The power to manage the immortals is so great that it is equivalent to half of the master of the prehistoric world. Moreover, how are the scopes of these immortals divided? Are these innate gods also within the scope of the immortals? Do they also have to listen to the orders of the Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother?
How can it be!

If Hongjun himself served as the leader of all the immortals, they would be convinced and would not say a word, and they would even be secretly happy in their hearts, because in this way Hongjun would have to see them from time to time, and they would have an excuse to go to the Zixiao Palace, and perhaps have the opportunity to listen to the saint's preaching again.

But who are these King of the East and Queen Mother of the West? What qualifications do they have to be the leader of the male and female immortals?

Not to mention such arrogant beings as Sanqing, Taiyi and Minghe, even goddesses like Nuwa, Bixia Yuanjun, Changxi and Xihe had cold eyes when they looked at the Queen Mother of the West.

Especially Nuwa, she is the incarnation of the purest origin of Yin. Even the three Taiyin goddesses are not as pure as her Yin origin. The Queen Mother of the West is just the incarnation of the ultimate Yin meaning mixed with the most wonderful energy of Xihua. What qualifications do you have to care about her?

Apart from some great gods who devoted themselves to cultivation, Hengming was the only one who still maintained that vague smile.

Originally, Nuwa was about to speak out against Hongjun's appointment, but after seeing Hengming's smile, her heart moved, and finally she slowly closed her mouth, not thinking of forcing her way out.

She understood Heng Ming and knew how arrogant this Taoist friend was. He dared to fight with the Ancestral Witch just because of a verbal dispute, so how could he tolerate having an enemy pee and shit on him?

Hongjun ignored the expressions of the gods, and then continued: "I became a saint because I was blessed by the destiny, and then the way of heaven was revealed. I will preach three times and spread the way to heaven and earth. After preaching three times, I will be in harmony with the way of heaven and make up for the defects of the way of heaven. This is the second time."

The great gods had not yet accepted the news of the immortal hands of the King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West, but now they heard the explosive news that Hongjun would be in harmony with the Heavenly Dao after three sermons, and they could not help but feel awe in their hearts.

But then some great gods, such as Emperor Jun, had their eyes light up. They were in harmony with the Way of Heaven. Doesn't that mean that Hongjun will no longer be able to interfere with the prehistoric world in the future? This is a good thing! After all, who wants to have someone who can decide their life at any time? Naturally, they would rather go quickly.

However, they did not dare to show it on their faces, but said in unison: "Teacher, please think twice and don't abandon your disciple."

Hongjun shook his head slightly: "I am the first saint, so I must do my best for the prehistoric world. This sermon is over. After 30,000 years, I will start my last sermon. At that time, I will talk about the way of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. You can take care of yourselves."

Then Hongjun's figure flashed, and the gods present still could not catch any trace of him.

Hengming stood up first, and after bidding farewell to the Three Pure Ones, he ignored some gods who were trying to pay courteous attention to Dongwanggong, and walked out of Zixiao Palace with Nuwa and Bixia Yuanjun.

Just as Hengming was about to leave, a voice suddenly called him: "Daoyou Hengming, please stay."

Hearing this famous saying from the Gods, even Heng Ming couldn't help but shudder. Then he shook his head slightly, looked back, and found that it was the King of the East who called him.

"Is there anything that needs to be done, Brother Dong Wanggong?"

Heng Ming asked, but he had a hint of expectation in his heart. This man had a grudge against him for a long time. Although he wanted to reconcile with him before, Hongjun now gave him the status of the head of male immortals. How could he not show off in front of him?

However, if Dong Wanggong wants to use this to subdue him, let alone Hengming, I'm afraid even Dong Wanggong himself won't believe it. After all, they are all innate gods, and their cultivation is several levels higher than his. Dong Wanggong is not that stupid.
