All the powerful people in the prehistoric world knew that today Daozu Eric opened the door of Xiao Palace and set up a Taoist temple to preach, but no one knew the exact location of Zixiao Palace.
Ke Daozu: Those who are destined to find it will seek it.
So everyone was looking for the Zixiao Palace, but three hundred years passed, and only a few hundred people finally arrived at the Zixiao Palace. Among these people were the Three Pure Ones, Simon Fu and Grace, Jieyin and Zhunti from the West, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun from the Wuzhuang Temple, and Adrian Donghuang and Julian from the demon clan.
When Eric came out carrying Lily who had just transformed, a farce had just ended outside. Eric did not interfere with it. He just glanced at what the people were doing below the stage. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the people sitting on the six cushions placed earlier, Eric retracted his gaze and sat down in the main seat.
Everyone who had been waiting in front of the hall, at this moment, silently stopped and looked towards the main seat, only to see Daozu Eric coming out holding a little girl whose face they couldn't see clearly. For a moment, they were all wondering who this little girl was and how could she be carried out by Daozu himself.
Eric patted Lily in his arms, and then told the boy: "Go get some fruit for the young lady to eat."
"Yes, sir," the boy respectfully accepted the order and turned to get the fruit.
Eric conjured up a futon and placed it next to him, then put Lily on the futon and whispered, "Don't make trouble. If you don't want to listen, go to sleep."
Lily nodded obediently, crossed her short legs and sat down properly.
Just as he sat down, a woman with a hurried look came in from the outside. Eric then spoke: "This sermon will last about three thousand years. Let's start now."
Eric was the first saint after the creation of the world, so his teachings were naturally something that no one else had ever heard of. Moreover, Eric's preaching was completely directed by the Heavenly Dao, so those who understood his teachings benefited greatly.
Those with superior aptitude, such as the Three Pure Ones, have seen a significant improvement in their cultivation that can be seen with the naked eye, while those with inferior aptitude are confused and their cultivation does not increase much.
Eric didn't care about anything and just finished the story according to the plan.
In the blink of an eye, three thousand years had passed. Eric stopped talking, and everyone in the hall woke up and paid their respects to Eric as their teacher.
Eric accepted the greeting and said, "This lecture is over. You all stay in your seats. I will give another lecture here in a thousand years. You can go now."
After saying this, Eric picked up Lily, who was sleeping soundly because he had heard nothing before, and left. Everyone stood up and said, "Farewell, teacher!"
After Eric left, the people who had listened to the teachings showed doubts in their eyes. They did not dare to discuss it in Zixiao Palace and left in groups of three or four.
The Three Pure Ones looked at each other and they had a hunch that the little girl had a deep connection with them.
After everyone left, the gate of Zixiao Palace was closed.
Eric returned to the backyard and put Lily on the companion lotus platform. Lily woke up and rubbed his eyes and asked: "Has Ajun finished his sermon?"
"That's it. As for you, you don't even bother to listen more and improve your cultivation. You're really lazy."
Lily came to her senses now, and became a little unhappy when she heard what Eric said. She was still a baby, born not long ago, and the bad guy Eric wanted to force her to practice!
Eric sighed: "If you can't improve your cultivation, I won't let you leave Zixiao Palace to go out and play."
Lily argued stubbornly: "I didn't say I wanted to go out and play. I'm staying in Zixiao Palace! I think it was Ajun who wanted to go out and play!"
Eric looked at Lily unhappily: "Okay, I want to go out and play, don't come out after a few days saying you're bored and want to go out, just stay in Zixiao Palace!"
Lily was conflicted now, pinching her fingers. She actually still wanted to go out and play, but Eric kept asking her to practice, and she didn't want to practice so diligently. Besides, Eric was so powerful, it wouldn't matter if she didn't practice.
Eric could tell what Lily was thinking at a glance and sighed again. It was because Lily was born at this time. If it was before the creation of the world, he would have died countless times.
Lily pinched her fingers for a while, and when she found that Eric had not left yet, she smiled ingratiatingly, floated to Eric's side, and pulled Eric's wide sleeves to act coquettishly:
"Ajun~ My cultivation is not bad either, I am a Golden Immortal! Besides, don't we still have you? Ajun, let's go out and play?"
Lily showed a sad expression as she said: "Ajun, I haven't seen the great continent opened up by Michael..."
Eric's heart softened and he didn't force it. Lily was right. The child almost didn't survive. Well, even if he didn't like to practice, Michael left behind quite a few magic weapons, which were more than enough to protect Lily.
Besides, he really needed to go to the prehistoric world. When the world was created, the Jade Disc of Creation shattered, and the fragments fell into the prehistoric world. Now that he has become a saint, there is still one thing he needs to do, and that is to complete the way of heaven.
To complete the Way of Heaven, one needs the Jade Disc of Creation. Before Eric became a saint, he collected most of the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation. Now, one third of the fragments are still missing and left in the prehistoric continent.
So even if Lily didn't go out, Eric would still have to transform himself and go to the prehistoric world.
Eric did not have much time. After three sermons, he had to merge with the Tao. He could only use the thousand years between each sermon to search for the scattered fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation.
Seeing Eric lost in thought, Lily stretched out her hand and tugged at him: "Ajun, what's wrong with you?"
Eric came back to his senses, took Lily's hand and said: "It's okay, it's good to go to the Honghuang Continent, where your opportunity for growth is. It just so happens that I have something to do in Honghuang, so I will take you with me."
Lily immediately hugged Eric's thighs, raised her head and said happily: "Great! Ah Jun, I will be obedient!"
Eric shook his head and touched Lily’s little head. He was still a child.
He turned around and told the two little boys, Haotian and Yaochi, to look after the Zixiao Palace. He took Lily back to the quiet room for practice, created a clone, left his real body in the Zixiao Palace, and carried Lily out of the Zixiao Palace to the prehistoric continent.
Lily was held in Eric's arms, and appeared above the prehistoric continent in the blink of an eye. As a creature that gained consciousness during the chaotic period and fell into a deep sleep before the creation of the world, Lily had never seen any unexpected scenery in the Zixiao Palace.
Now seeing the undulating mountains and rivers, birds, beasts, fish and insects on the primitive continent, I feel very curious.
After flying for a while, Lily couldn't help struggling in Eric's arms, wanting to take a closer look at the scenery below.
Eric patted Lily's head and warned: "Don't move, or you'll fall down."
Lily twisted her body and was about to ask herself to stand still when she saw the Pillar of Heaven, Mount Buzhou, not far away.
"Ajun, where is that? I really feel like I can feel the breath of Father Michael."
Eric looked up and said, "It is Buzhou Mountain, formed from Michael's spine. Your feeling is correct."
When Lily heard this, she looked at Eric eagerly. She wanted to go to Buzhou Mountain for fun.
Eric sighed: "Our destination is indeed Buzhou Mountain. I calculated that a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation is there, and a magic weapon has been unearthed in Buzhou Mountain recently. I want to go and get the Jade Disc of Creation."
Lily didn't care what treasure Eric took. She just wanted to go to Mount Buzhou for some fun. When she heard Eric say that they were going to Mount Buzhou, she immediately cheered.
Although Mount Buzhou looks close, it is actually thousands of miles away from here. Eric sped up and reached Mount Buzhou before the sun set.
At the foot of Mount Buzhou lived the Wu Clan, led by twelve ancestor witches.
The Wu Clan does not cultivate their primordial spirits, but only their spiritual power. They follow Michael's path to becoming a saint through spiritual power, so all the Wu Clan members are physically strong.
When Eric passed by the Wu clan, no one noticed.
After passing the Wu Clan's territory, Eric made some calculations and flew directly to the hillside of Mount Buzhou. The innate magic weapon that was about to be born was there, and the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation were also there. As it was getting late, Eric planned to find a cave for Lily to rest.
I don’t know if it’s because of some congenital deficiency, but Lily feels listless and drowsy at night.
At this moment, she was lying in his arms, yawning.
After finding a cave, Eric waved his hand and cast a spell to clean the cave. He took out Lily's companion lotus platform and placed it in the cave, put Lily on it, and then took out a thick cloak as a protective magic weapon and covered Lily with it.
As soon as Lily lay down on the companion lotus platform, she turned over, grabbed the corner of her cloak and fell asleep even more soundly.
Eric was sitting cross-legged in meditation beside the lotus platform. He had also been injured when he fought with Luohou in Xiniu Hezhou. The injury would not heal easily and could only be completely cured after the Jade Disc of Creation was complete.
On weekdays, Eric also needs to meditate and recuperate his injuries to prevent Luohou from making a comeback.
When the first ray of morning light shone into the cave, Eric opened his eyes and turned his head to glance at Lily. Only then did he realize that Lily had already woken up. The little person was lying on the lotus platform with his hands on his chin, staring at him.
Eric stood up, carried Lily off the lotus platform and said, "You woke up early today."
Lily stood up and watched Eric put up the lotus platform before she spoke softly: "Ajun, I'm hungry and need to eat."
Eric then took out the spiritual fruit he brought from Zixiao Palace and handed it to Lily: "Eat it, there are more after you finish it."
Lily took the fruit and started eating it.
Eric watched Lily eating fruit with messy hair, and took out a pearl flower made of pearls. The main body of the flower was a purple-gold pearl as big as a finger joint, and next to the purple-gold pearl were many tiny pearls of the same color.
After putting the pearl flowers on Lily's head, Lily's hair was automatically tied into two small buns, with the pearl flowers hanging on one side, looking very playful and cute.
Only then did Eric pick up Lily with satisfaction, walk out of the cave, and go to the place where the magic weapon was born.
The cave was very close to the birthplace of the magic weapon. Eric and Lily arrived there quickly. From a distance they could see that the land was emitting colorful light and the surrounding spiritual energy was very rich.
There was even someone guarding the place already. It was none other than the human-headed snake-bodied brother and sister Grace and Simon who had listened to the sermon in Zixiao Palace earlier.
Tongtian from the Three Pure Ones was also standing with him. With Eric's hearing ability, he could hear the conversation between the three people clearly.
"Fellow Daoist Grace, I think this magic weapon seems extraordinary. If it is of little use to you, I am willing to exchange it with you for something else. What do you think?"
"What Daoist Shangqing said makes sense, but if this thing is of no use to Daoist you, I hope you won't fight with me for it."
"That's natural."
The three of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and stopped talking, staring at the magic weapon that was about to be born.
