He was the master of Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian School Master. His cultivation place was Zixiao Palace. Patriarch Hongjun played a key role in teaching and guiding. In the story of the God Deification, he guided his three disciples to the human world to carry out the God Deification Plan to elect a new dynasty to restore justice and peace. Although the task of God Deification was given to Jiang Ziya by the Heavenly Lord of the Origin, the disciples of Tongtian Sect did not listen to the advice and died in the God Deification. Tongtian Sect Master set up the Immortal Slaying Array to avenge his disciples and fought fiercely with the Heavenly Lord of the Origin and Laozi. When Sect Leader Tongtian was defeated and wanted to make a comeback, Hongjun personally appeared to mediate. He took Sect Leader Tongtian away and made his three disciples take poisonous pills (if they wanted revenge, they would die from the poison), thus successfully completing the plan to become a god. He was also the ancestor of all immortals, and his weapon, the Four Swords of Extinction, was passed down to Sect Master Tongtian. When the Treasure-snatching Rock split the treasures, he gave the Primordial Chaos Horsetail Whisk, Heart Piercing Lock, and other treasures to Sect Master Tongtian. Although Patriarch Hongjun did not appear in the orthodox Taoist theological records and was a fictional character in the Investiture of the Gods, he had a profound influence on the construction of the Taoist immortal system. His image appeared in later literary novels as the image of the ancestor of Taoism and derived from the "primeval" novels. His legends were also spread among the people.
