Chapter 75 Establishing a New Immortal Leader
Hongjun quickly provided an answer to Laozi's doubts and concerns, and this answer was destined to strike the Three Pure Ones and Emperor Jun, who had been plotting for a long time, as if struck by lightning.
Yuanshi gave Dijun and Fuxi a wink and secretly transmitted his voice, signaling them to quickly act according to the previous plan.
"Dao Ancestor, I have something to say for the sake of all living beings in the primordial world, and I must speak it."
"Please grant permission, Dao Ancestor." Di Jun looked at Hongjun on the high platform and knelt down on the ground.
Along with Fuxi, Taiyi, Bai Ze, and other supporters of Di Jun, they also knelt down.
Hongjun remained silent, simply gazing at Dijun and the other powerful beings. With his cultivation, he could see right through what the Emperor and the others were thinking.
"Dao Ancestor, the Wu Clan has been harming all living beings in the primordial world, feeding on them. Their ambitions are boundless and we must be on guard. At this critical moment, the Eastern King Duke is a mere figurehead, unable to govern the immortal path to report to the Ancestor, and unable to protect all living beings to bring peace to the primordial world. We would like to request Dao Ancestor to abolish the position of Eastern King Duke as the head of the immortals and select a virtuous and capable person to be given an important responsibility!" Di Jun led a group of great supernatural beings to speak to Hongjun in unison.
Dongwanggong: Hmm, hmm?!
"Di Jun, how could you do this—" Dong Wang Gong looked at Di Jun and was furious. After struggling for several eons, he also relied on the luck of the immortal path to sever one of his corpses. The spiritual treasure he used to sever the corpse was the dragon head staff given to him by Hong Jun, which deprived him of his position as the head of the immortals.
That would mean that the Eastern King Duke would have to return all his immortal fortune, status, and the innate spiritual treasures he had acquired by taking on the responsibility of the Immortal Leader. At the same time, he would also completely lose his chance as the supreme being!
No one would follow a "Supreme One" who has already been deposed once by the Dao Ancestor; this would be tantamount to cutting off his path to enlightenment!
Emperor Jun, that son, is utterly despicable.
"Teacher, Fellow Daoist Di Jun is right. Dong Wang Gong has no immortal path or Xuanmen in his heart."
"Please, teacher, investigate this carefully." Yuanshi looked in Hongjun's direction and quickly echoed Dijun's words, "The head of the immortals, Dongwanggong, must be replaced."
They cannot directly bypass the Eastern King Duke to gather all the races of the prehistoric world, as that would undoubtedly be disrespectful to the Dao Ancestor. Therefore, Yuan Shi felt that the best option at this moment was to let his teacher retract his decree in the Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun remained silent. He had made up his mind that the Pangu Banner would be returned to Yuanshi when he established his religion. He still hadn't grasped the true meaning of his decision to send him back to seclusion for cultivation.
Styx looked at Yuanshi, as well as Laozi and Tongtian, who were also about to speak up in agreement, and was somewhat surprised.
If it were Styx, he would never have done that. Although Hongjun himself had long intended to replace Dongwanggong, the meaning of Hongjun replacing Dongwanggong himself, or Hongjun arranging for someone to replace Dongwanggong as the leader of the immortals in the prehistoric world, is different from Hongjun being advised by everyone, then "admitting his mistake," and finally replacing Dongwanggong.
Di Jun could see all of this clearly, but he couldn't, because "I want to be the emperor so badly, I want to be the emperor so badly, I dream about it all the time." Although Di Jun also felt that this behavior was suspected of "forcing the emperor to abdicate," he had no choice.
His destiny is here, his path is here, he cannot retreat.
Even without the intervention of the Three Pure Ones, he was determined to take the plunge. Moreover, with the Three Pure Ones backing him up, even if Sage Hongjun were to unleash his fury, there would be someone tall enough to hold up the sky if it were to fall.
The Three Pure Ones couldn't understand Hongjun's way of thinking at all, nor did they bother to try.
Just as some people cannot understand why a small act of arbitrariness of power can destroy a person's faith, integrity, and so on, the Three Pure Ones, who are transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, bear the merit of creating the world, have the help of Pangu's fortune, have not yet experienced the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, swallowed the Fallen Saint Pill, and have everything go smoothly, naturally disdain such trivial matters as human relationships and worldly affairs.
In the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, they have already stood up to advise you, Hongjun. What else do you want besides accepting their advice?
The Three Pure Ones have already humbled themselves to advise the sage, so what more do we need from them?
They are the Three Pure Ones, the true descendants of Pangu!
"Dao Ancestor, this is slander, a fabricated charge!"
"Since I assumed the position of the Immortal Leader, I have always been diligent and conscientious, never daring to slack off in the slightest, and never neglecting my duties in the slightest!" Upon hearing this, Dongwanggong also hurriedly knelt down and looked at Hongjun.
For innate gods and demons, having their path to enlightenment severed is worse than death!
At this moment, the Eastern King Duke still remembered the day after his lecture at Zixiao Palace, when he was bestowed with a spiritual treasure by the Dao Ancestor and appointed as the head of the male immortals. The vibrant life and the flourishing of all things were still vivid in his mind. At that time, all the immortals, whether in heaven or on earth, were subservient to him. How could it be that in just over ten years, Zixiao Palace had suddenly become the place where his Dao was severed?
No matter what, he is still the leader of the immortals in the primordial world and a powerful figure in the Xuanmen. The Dao Ancestor will protect him and will not abandon him. The advantage lies with him!
Hongjun looked at Dongwanggong and remained silent. If he had known this would happen, he should not have acted that way when he spoke at Zixiao Palace. At this moment, not a single one of Dongwanggong's followers stood up to say a word for him.
But thinking about it, it's obvious that no one in the primordial world could escape the threat of the Wu Clan. How many people who have cultivated for countless years and arrived at this day could not see this trend of the primordial world? It's just that too often people are swept up by the trend and have no choice but to act. Since the Eastern King Duke cannot stand up, then let him take his place.
Laozi and Tongtian stepped forward, echoing Dijun and Yuanshi's impeachment of Dongwanggong. Then came Nuwa, who could not betray Fuxi at this time. Many powerful figures who had suffered from the expansion of the Wu tribe and had long been afflicted by the Wu tribe also stepped forward, even though they had not contacted Dijun, the Three Pure Ones, and others beforehand.
When the Eastern King turned around, he saw that the entire Zixiao Palace was filled with people impeaching him. He was overcome with grief. Over the years, he had done his best as the leader of the immortals, but he never expected that today, not a single person would be willing to stand behind him!
"Granted." Hongjun spoke calmly. As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, the fortune and divine power bestowed upon Dongwanggong, belonging to the Immortal Leader, vanished instantly. Although Hongjun did not take back the dragon-headed staff he had bestowed, Dongwanggong's fortune had already plummeted.
Even because his position as the Immortal Leader was abolished, his supreme destiny was also destroyed. Many of his former close friends and followers no longer supported him, making his fortune even worse than before.
This also shattered the Dao heart of the Eastern King Duke. Along with the joy brought by severing one of his corpses and becoming a Quasi-Saint of the Corpse, the joy of breaking through his cultivation level vanished, because he knew that this was the end of his path to the Great Dao.
"Damn it, Di Jun, I swear I will never let you get away with this!" Dong Wang Gong looked at Di Jun, who was the one who led the impeachment against him, causing him to lose his position as the head of the immortals. The enmity of obstructing the path is irreconcilable!
