Houtu arrived and also sat alone on the side.
Although the crowd did not recognize Houtu, they knew she was an Ancestral Witch. After all, the cultivation path of an Ancestral Witch was different from that of others, and she could be identified as an Ancestral Witch at a glance.
Houtu's arrival puzzled everyone. They wondered why someone who cultivated the physical body would come to listen to someone who cultivated the primordial spirit preach.
Despite their confusion, no one stepped forward to ask. Although only one Ancestral Witch had appeared so far, they didn't know how many of the Twelve Ancestral Witches had arrived. If they provoked them, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were not to be trifled with.
Moreover, the Twelve Ancestral Witches specialized in cultivating their physical bodies and fought bare-handed. Without powerful spiritual treasures for protection, they couldn't withstand attacks.
After Houtu appeared, many people gradually emerged from the chaos. However, Li Yi paid them no mind and did not pay much attention.
In front of the Zixiao Palace, cultivators who knew each other greeted each other, while others, like Li Yi's group, conversed in clusters. Slowly, the area in front of Zixiao Palace became overcrowded.
Then, the grand doors of Zixiao Palace slowly opened.
Seeing the doors of Zixiao Palace open, Li Yi and his two companions rushed in first.
The crowd saw a figure flash before their eyes. When they looked again, Li Yi and his companions had already entered Zixiao Palace.
Seeing this, Fuxi and Nuwa hurriedly followed and rushed towards the palace gates. Kunpeng, seeing Fuxi and Nuwa about to enter the gates, secretly made a move to obstruct them.
Although Kunpeng's actions were subtle, those who could arrive here were all beings with great destiny and divine abilities, and naturally, others noticed.
Seeing Kunpeng make a move, the others reacted and also joined in.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Fuxi and Nuwa, Zhen Yuanzi, along with Hong Yun, brought out the Earth Book to protect them as they rushed towards the palace gates.
Fuxi saw the Zixiao Palace gate right before his eyes. He could have entered without regard for the others, but the attacks from the crowd would inevitably injure him and Nuwa.
Gritting his teeth, Fuxi immediately said,
"Little sister, you go first. Brother will cover your retreat!"
With that, Fuxi unleashed the Eight Trigrams Diagram to block the crowd's attacks. However, one attack broke through Fuxi's Eight Trigrams Diagram and headed straight for him, about to strike.
Seeing this, Di Jun immediately unleashed the River Chart and Luo Book to block the attack for Fuxi.
Fuxi, seeing this, immediately cast a grateful look at Di Jun.
Di Jun smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, then entered the palace gates with Taiyi, Xihe, and Changxi.
Kunpeng, having failed to stop Nuwa, used his speed advantage to surpass the crowd and successfully entered the gates, right after Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun.
After Li Yi and his two companions entered Zixiao Palace, they found six futons placed in the front row. Li Yi knew that these futons represented the future six Heavenly Dao Sages.
However, at this time, his three brothers had already obtained Pangu's Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill on Buzhou Mountain and no longer coveted the position of Heavenly Dao Sage. Instead, they were aiming for the Great Dao Sage.
Yuanshi and Tongtian saw that the six futons were in the first row. Tongtian said to Li Yi,
"Big Brother! Those six futons are in the first row. Since we are the first to enter, let's take three spots!"
Yuanshi also nodded in agreement with Tongtian's suggestion.
Li Yi thought to himself that even if his three brothers didn't sit on these futons, they would still find a way to become Sages. However, they couldn't let others have them.
So, Li Yi nodded and said,
"Then we'll take three of the spots!"
With that, he walked to the first position and sat down. Yuanshi and Tongtian then sat on the second and third futons respectively.
Hongjun, who was observing from the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Three Pure Ones sitting on the futons as he had expected.
Hongjun paid little attention to Yuanshi and Tongtian, but he could not see through Taishang Li Yi, the eldest of the Three Pure Ones. Fortunately, there were no unexpected developments.
As soon as the three sat down, they saw Nuwa enter.
Nuwa saw the Three Pure Ones each occupying a futon and then stepped forward to sit on the fourth futon.
However, as Nuwa sat on the futon, she seemed distracted, her eyes constantly fixed on the entrance, as if waiting for someone.
After Nuwa sat down, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi entered, protected by a treasure resembling a book.
Li Yi looked at the book-like spiritual treasure and thought that it must be the Earth Book, one of the three great wondrous books of the Primordial World.
The Earth Book, also known as the Heaven and Earth Mirror and the Earth Fetus Membrane, had the function of regulating earth veins. It was the supreme treasure of Zhen Yuanzi, the Lord of Earth Immortals, and also a defensive supreme treasure. Its defensive power was not inferior to Tongtian's Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus.
Zhen Yuanzi saw that four of the six futons were already occupied by the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. He figured that with himself, Hong Yun, and the Earth Book, they could occupy one futon, let alone two.
Zhen Yuanzi was very clear about his own strength. He said to Hong Yun,
"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, you sit on the fifth futon. I will protect you. With our combined efforts, we should be able to secure a spot!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Yun quickly shook his head and said,
"No! No! You sit, Daoist. I will protect you!"
Seeing Hong Yun still refusing, Zhen Yuanzi pushed Hong Yun onto the fifth futon. Seeing that Hong Yun still wanted to get up, he said,
"Fellow Daoist, stop refusing. Otherwise, those who come later will inevitably fight for it!"
Hong Yun heard this and thought Zhen Yuanzi's words were reasonable. He no longer refused and sat on the sixth futon.
After Hong Yun sat down, Zhen Yuanzi breathed a sigh of relief and stood behind Hong Yun without speaking further.
The moment Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun entered, Li Yi noticed Nuwa observing them intently. Upon seeing that it was Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, a flicker of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Not long after Hong Yun sat down, Kunpeng also entered. Seeing that only one futon remained, he silently went to the last futon and sat down.
Sensing that someone else had entered, Nuwa looked hopefully towards the palace gates. After seeing who had entered, a trace of disappointment flickered in her eyes again.
Just after Kunpeng sat down, Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others appeared at the palace gates. Seeing them, Nuwa's concern grew even stronger. Su Dan Novel Network.
After Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others entered, they saw that the futons in the first row were already occupied. They moved to the second row and chose a good spot to sit. Taiyi, Xihe, and Changxi, seeing that Di Jun had chosen a spot, also sat on the futons beside Di Jun.
After Di Jun sat down, he noticed that the second row was much further from the central preaching position and frowned slightly.
Taiyi, seeing Di Jun frown, quietly asked,
"Big Brother! What's wrong?"
Di Jun quickly put his finger to his lips, signaling Taiyi to be quiet.
Taiyi understood Di Jun's meaning and stopped speaking.
