Chapter 52: Mysterious Gate Guardian

  The disappearance of Fen Baoyan was just a minor episode for the Zhongre, and soon after everyone woke up from their enlightenment state, they found that outside the Zixuan Palace, there was a woman with an extraordinary temperament, stunningly beautiful, unparalleled. The woman ignored everyone and came to the front of Hong Jun Daozu, saying: "Disciple Nüwa pays respects to Master, may Master's sacred life be boundless..." After Hong Jun Daozu nodded in acknowledgement, she paid her respects to the Three Pure Ones.

  The Three Pure Ones, although proud, still maintained the proper etiquette when facing their fellow saint, the Goddess Nüwa. After exchanging a few words, Wuji and the other Three Pure Ones also paid their respects to the Goddess, who calmly accepted the bows of the crowd before summoning them forth.

  Not long after the Goddess Nuwa sat on the couch at the edge of Sanqing, two more Taoist priests came to the outside of Zixu Palace. Seeing many young people present, they naturally understood what was going on here. Obviously, this was a small gathering for Sanqing and his followers. One of the Taoist priests with a bitter face looked even more worried.

  However, the two of them did not dare to say much. They only saw the two phenomena, Hong Jun Dao Zu and Li Dao, who said: "Disciples lead the way, Zhun Ti pays respects to the teacher, wishing the teacher a long and auspicious life." Afterwards, they also exchanged greetings with San Qing and Nü Wa Niang Niang. Wuji and others paid their respects again to the two saints.

  Wuji had a strong feeling that Zhunti Shengren's gaze was constantly scanning the three Qing brothers, including himself. Wuji found that Zhunti Shengren's gaze lingered on him for the longest time. Wuji strongly suspected that if there were no others around, Zhunti Shengren would say to him: "Fellow Taoist, please stay behind, you and I have a predestined relationship, please come with me to my Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss to study the Great Way together."

  The endless speculation has not ended, and the Three Pure Saints, the Queen of Heaven, and the Saint of Invitation have already discovered Zhunti's abnormal behavior. The Tongtian Teachings' founder said with a sneer: "I've long heard that Fellow Daoist Zhunti often comes to my Eastern Territory to enjoy the autumn breeze; could it be that he has come to Wu Shixiong Wujie this time?" As soon as the Tongtian Teachings' founder finished speaking, the Three Pure Saints simultaneously pressed their mighty aura towards Saint Zhunti.

  Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, the two saints, were already in a bad position when they spoke to Tong Tian Jiao Zu. They began to strengthen their defense, but Zhun Ti was still forced back one step. In front of Hong Jun Dao Zu and Nü Wa Niang Niang, as well as the disciples under San Qing Men, it can be said that he lost face.

  Hongjun Daozu, sitting on the high platform, saw that his disciples were going to make more trouble and immediately exerted his authority towards Sanqing Shengren and Jieyin. Zhunti Shengren and the five saints hurriedly apologized: "Disciples have overstepped their bounds, please Master forgive us." After finishing speaking, the five of them sat quietly on one side waiting for their master to mete out punishment.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu said: "You five will not be allowed to leave the Dao field for 50,000 years, this is a minor punishment and a major warning." The five saints said: "We will strictly follow the teacher's instructions." After that, Hong Jun Dao Zu handed over some tasks to the six saints, then suddenly turned to Wuji and said: "Wuji come forward to receive your appointment," Wuji didn't understand what this was about, but still respectfully stood before Hong Jun Dao Zu and said: "Disciple is present."

  Hongjun Daozu said to Wuji Dao: "Wuji, you have great willpower and a great source of blessings. Are you willing to be the guardian deity for my Xuanmen and exert your efforts for me?" Upon hearing this, Wuji was stunned - what a wonderful thing! However, in order to show respect for his own teacher, Taicheng Shengren, Wuji still turned his head towards Taicheng Shengren, intending to ask for his opinion.

  Six saints sitting on the futon originally heard Hong Jun Dao Zu's first half sentence praising Wuji for having great willpower and great blessings. One of Hong Jun Dao Zu would, as usual, grant the saintly position to himself and others, naturally making San Qing very happy, while Nüwa Niangniang and Xi Fang Jie Yin were greatly surprised.

  Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, he let out a sigh of relief. Although the Xuanmen Guardian was noble in status, compared to the Saints, it wasn't anything special. The Three Pure Saints had heard that Wu Wei was ignoring them and bestowing upon Wuji instead, but this Xuanmen Guardian seemed not bad either. The Taiqing Saint nodded at Wuji, which was a signal for Wuji to respond.

  Wuji saw the teacher agree and said to Hongjun Daozu on the high platform: "The disciple is willing." Hongjun Daozu naturally understood the small movements of the people below, but didn't point it out. Hongjun Daozu then gave everyone a bombshell, saying: "The old ancestor will not let you suffer losses for doing this job for nothing. From now on, Wuji will be the guardian of the Mystic Gate, and you can enjoy one layer of Wu Xuanmen's aura." As soon as Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, Wuji clearly felt that his own aura had been greatly enhanced, and the previous bottleneck seemed to have loosened a bit. Wuji quickly thanked Daozu.

  The six saints were tongue-tied, this Wuji's fate was really too good. As a saint himself, he had to make all sorts of calculations for the sake of his aura, in order to obtain it. However, Wuji could get great aura without doing anything. But Hongjun Daozu was about to merge with the Heavenly Way, and his words represented the meaning of the Heavenly Way. The multitude of saints did not dare to make any move.

  The Three Pure Ones were overjoyed, especially the Taiqing Saint as the teacher of Wuji, sharing a certain amount of aura with Wuji. The deeper Wuji's aura, the more enormous this shared part would be. As the Yuanshi Saint, Tongtian Saint and Taiqing Saint share their aura as one, they can naturally gain some benefits from Wuji.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu ignored the thoughts of the people below and suddenly said seriously, "The great trend of the Heavenly Way has not changed, Hong Jun will not appear." After finishing, he also ignored the crowd and rose up his own creation jade butterfly. Hong Jun Dao Zu suddenly said, "Six Saints come out, Heavenly Way prospers, Great Way hides, Great Way fifty, Heavenly Evolution four nine, there is a thread of life, Heavenly Way, harmony" Then Hong Jun Dao Zu's body slowly dissolved and merged into the creation jade butterfly on his head, the gaps on the surface of the creation jade butterfly were slowly repairing, interpreting all kinds of great ways.

  Wuji is like the six saints, with all his heart and soul entering the creation of the jade butterfly, observing the evolution of the heavenly way. At this time, the great law of the vast wilderness is clearly presented before everyone's eyes, but how much one can comprehend depends on their own creation.

  After a moment, the Jade Butterfly also dissipated, and Hong Jun's figure reappeared in front of everyone. He said to them, "You can all go back now," and then disappeared without a trace. However, Wuji clearly felt that after Hong Jun's last appearance, the laws of heaven and earth had become much more obscure, and the difficulty of comprehension had increased by more than double. It was foreseeable how difficult it would be to make a breakthrough in the future. Perhaps this was why during the Honghuang era, Golden Immortals were as common as dogs, and during the Xiyou era, Golden Immortals were everywhere, but Heaven Immortals were not even worth mentioning.

  Wuji can discover things that all saints naturally can discover, but they don't worry about it because they can interpret the Tao themselves and let their disciples learn from them. As for individual cultivators, who cares about you?

  Wuji was rescued by Sanqing Shengren, who brought everyone into the Taiji diagram and left Zixiao Palace, after Wuji had returned each of their congratulations one by one among many fellow disciples.

  Wuji's strength is now far inferior to that of the Saints, but Wuji's status is already not much different from that of the Saints. Therefore, Nüwa and the two Western Saints came to congratulate Wuji on being recognized by the Three Pure Ones, also to get familiar with him.
