Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Achieving the Initial Immortal of Daluo

"I am Hongjun," he declared, "observing that beings have not awakened and lack a path in their cultivation. Today, I am willing to deliver the first sermon between heaven and earth, to instruct all beings in the way of cultivation. How much you understand will depend on your own fate!"

Hongjun spoke with a serene expression, as if he were discussing a trivial matter.

Yet within a thousand miles, all beings who had come to listen to the teachings were stirred with excitement.

At the dawn of heaven and earth, the dragons, phoenixes, and qilins—the three ancestors—leveraged their extraordinary talents to master the art of breathing, soaring in their cultivation. But other beings did not possess such talents, and the ancestors would not impart their breathing techniques to beings of other races.

Now that Hongjun was willing to impart his teachings, how could they not be thrilled?

Qin Jun could not help but marvel at Hongjun’s transcendent qualities, a demeanor even more detached than that of Patriarch Bodhi or the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord. He seemed like the Heavenly Dao itself, viewing all beings as mere dust.

Soon, Hongjun began his sermon. The very first word he uttered calmed all the beings.

"At the beginning of Chaos, three thousand demons were born, all was void. Then came Pangu Great God, who cleaved the Chaos, created heaven and earth, transformed his body into all things; his eyes became the sun and the moon, his joints the mountains and forests, his body the rivers and seas, his blood the rivers and streams, his hair the grass and trees..."

"At the dawn of heaven and earth, I sensed that the spiritual essence could temper the body, which I called cultivation..."

Hongjun’s voice seemed to possess a magical power, quickly immersing Qin Jun in it.

Although he spoke as if telling a story, the Ziwei Emperor Star within Qin Jun involuntarily began to operate.

The purple flame pattern between his eyebrows started to throb wildly, vividly alive.

"Ziwei Emperor Star!"

Suddenly, Hongjun’s gaze shifted towards Qin Jun, and his pupils slightly constricted. Even though he was internally unsettled, his expression remained unchanged as he continued speaking.

At that time, Hongjun had not yet entered the realm of the sage, the first calamity of the dragon and Han had not yet occurred, and the age of the sages was still far off.

In his journeys across the lands of Primordial Chaos, Hongjun had only seen one other with the Ziwei Emperor Star.

That was the Ancestral Dragon.

The Ancestral Dragon was now the strongest being in the lands of Primordial Chaos, leading the Dragon Clan in unmatched strength, only countered by the combined efforts of the Phoenix and Qilin Clans.

For a moment, Hongjun became interested in Qin Jun. Since he had not yet touched the Holy Realm, the innate talent of Qin Jun naturally moved his heart.

Time swiftly passed by.

More and more beings gathered, and of course, many left disappointed, unable to comprehend and lacking the root of wisdom.

Five hundred years hurriedly passed.

Boom—

One day, Qin Jun’s mana surged explosively, and a whirlwind of spiritual energy gathered around him, startling the surrounding beings.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for breaking through to the Daluo Initial Immortal Realm!"

Daluo Initial Immortal Realm!

In the lands of Primordial Chaos of this day, the Daluo Initial Immortal was definitely considered a powerhouse.

"Good, young man!"

Hongjun’s eyes sparkled, and during the five hundred years, as beings gradually achieved breakthroughs, only Qin Jun reached the Daluo Initial Immortal Realm, pleasing Hongjun more and more.

He already felt the impulse to take Qin Jun as his disciple.

The talent of Qin Jun, placed in any of the three thousand great worlds, belonged to the class of anomalies, inevitably stirring the hearts of Immortal Zhenyuan and Hongjun.

Comparing to the Ancestral Dragon, how could Hongjun let such potential slip by?

Thunder rolled menacingly in the sky, terrifying to behold.

The celestial tribulation of the Daluo Initial Immortal Realm made all beings on earth shudder.

Hongjun’s gaze intensified, and a sphere of light flew out from the back of his head, striking the thundercloud above Cangqiong with incredible speed, exploding with a deafening roar and directly dispersing the rolling clouds.

Quiet!

All beings stared at Hongjun, dumbfounded.

To disperse a heavenly tribulation with a single strike—what kind of technique was this?

Qin Jun was also startled, internally exclaiming, "Fuck, I still need that heavenly tribulation to temper my body!"

With an indifferent expression, Hongjun continued his sermon, as the sphere of light quickly returned and re-entered his crown.

"Is that thing the Creation Jade Disk?"

Qin Jun wondered curiously. The Creation Jade Disk had a mysterious origin. It was said that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had realized the method to sever the Three Corpses and achieve Dao through the Creation Jade Disk, which was also the strongest treasure of the Dao Ancestor.

Immediately, he redirected his gaze, commencing to regulate the surging mana within his body.

Time continued to elapse.

Five hundred years...

Spring passed and autumn came, the universe shifted.

One thousand years...

The wild grass on the land grew as tall as a person, storms swept through, fierce winds howled, countless creatures silently listened to the Heavenly Dao’s teachings.

Qin Jun made another breakthrough, reaching the mid-stage of the Daluo Beginning Immortal Realm!

By now, he had become the most eye-catching disciple in the Daoist temple. Many creatures noticed that Hongjun frequently glanced at Qin Jun.

Qin Jun also noticed that Hongjun was keeping an eye on him. Could it be that the old man had fallen in love with him?

Pfft...

Disgusting...

Qin Jun shivered with disgust and, not daring to let his thoughts run wild further, focused solely on his cultivation.

...

Outside the cave, Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba resumed their battle among the mountains.

Of course, the two were merely sparring, seeking breakthroughs through combat.

At that moment, a figure flew swiftly from the heavens toward the mountain cave where Qin Jun resided.

"Someone’s here!"

Sun Wukong abruptly halted, turned around, and called out while Li Yuanba also stopped, his hands gripping the Jinpeng Divine Hammer, looking fierce and formidable.

Their brows furrowed tight, for they could not comprehend the stranger’s aura.

That meant the visitor’s realm surpassed theirs, or they possessed a significant treasure.

Without further thought, the two flew to the mountaintop where Qin Jun was, waiting for the arrival of the guest.

The newcomer was a man in green robes, with a jade flute strapped to his waist, displaying an extraordinary demeanor. Although his features were not particularly handsome, they were sharp and distinct. With his hands clasped behind his back, he carried the air of a grandmaster.

"Two Daluo demons?"

The man in green robes smiled slightly. He stopped a hundred meters away from Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba, scrutinizing the two demons. His expression gradually changed.

"What do you want?"

Li Yuanba gritted his teeth and asked, the stranger’s elusive aura putting him on high alert.

Sun Wukong gripped his golden cudgel, ready for battle at any moment.

"I am merely passing by and wished to rest here. Why the tension?"

The man in green robes replied with a smile, then swiftly introduced himself, "My name is Qiu Qi. You may refer to me as True Man Qiu Qi."

True Man Qiu Qi!

If this name were to spread across the universe, there would be those who recognized him, a formidable figure ranked twenty-fifth in the list of three thousand prodigies, having founded his own sect.

However, Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba had not heard of him. Clenching his teeth, Sun Wukong said, "This is our resting place, we kindly request you find another."

True Man Qiu Qi began to laugh, two Daluo Realm demons daring to send him off?

"I see great potential in you; why not take me as your master?"

True Man Qiu Qi got straight to the point. Although his main purpose was visiting Xuan Pond, it did not hinder him from taking disciples to expand his sect.

"We already have a master!"

Sun Wukong flatly refused and wished they could openly curse if not for the fear of disturbing Qin Jun.

"How can your master compare to me?" True Man Qiu Qi said with a light smile, being a being in the advanced stages of the Holy Realm, certainly among the elite.

"My elder brother is Kong Xuan!"

Li Yuanba retorted angrily, Kong Xuan’s name resounded throughout the universe.

One of the Six Divinities of the Qin Sage, he could even stand up alone against Yang Beiming without falling into disadvantage, firmly positioning himself as a peerless powerhouse.

True Man Qiu Qi paused for a moment and then burst into laughter, saying, "If your elder brother is Kong Xuan, then my elder brother is Yang Jian."
