Indeed!
At this moment, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti could not help but feel somewhat moved.
The two had assumed that Chen Ku, young and hot-blooded, would inevitably get into an argument when faced with the mockery of so many mighty beings.
Yet they had not expected Chen Ku to remain so composed, directly ignoring the words of the other mighty beings.
Moreover, when Jie Yin had taken him as a disciple in the past, he had relied on the might of his quasi-saint cultivation and had been somewhat forceful about it.
Even if Chen Ku had truly joined someone else today, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti would not have found it surprising.
Yet Chen Ku showed no hesitation whatsoever and paid it no heed at all.
This also showed that Chen Ku had not held the slightest unwillingness toward becoming Jie Yin's disciple.
How could Jie Yin and Zhun Ti remain unmoved?!
The two walked up beside Chen Ku, and Jie Yin said softly,
"Hehe, you brat..."
He did not finish his words, but anyone could see the gratification on his face.
Hearing this, Chen Ku remained calm. He merely chuckled and replied,
"Hehe, they are nothing but clownish fools!"
"Master, Martial Uncle, why should you care about them?!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Ku was the one consoling Jie Yin and Zhun Ti instead.
This made Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's expressions grow even gentler.
His words also made the two burst into laughter.
"Ha ha, indeed!"
"Clownish fools seeking attention. They truly are not worth our notice."
As they spoke, the two passed through the crowd of mighty beings and took their seats on the two Enlightenment Mats that belonged to them.
Seeing the three react this way, the mighty beings who had repeatedly mocked them earlier immediately wore ugly expressions.
Jie Yin and the other two simply could not be provoked, making everyone feel as though they had punched cotton.
However, before the mighty beings could say anything more this time,
an incomparably vast, indescribable pressure suddenly swept forth.
Immediately afterward, everyone's pupils contracted as they saw an ancient figure silently manifest before them and sit down.
For a time, the vast Purple Cloud Palace was utterly silent; even a falling needle could be heard.
The breathing of the three thousand mighty beings seemed to stop for an instant.
Without question, this figure was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
He sat quietly before them, yet he radiated an indescribably immense sense of oppression.
In an instant, the three thousand mighty beings fell silent, and all was still!
Even Duke of the East hurriedly composed himself, not daring to reveal the slightest irregularity.
Under the fervent gazes of the crowd, Hongjun slowly swept his gaze around.
The instant he saw Chen Ku, his gaze paused slightly and his brows furrowed.
There was one more?!
With Hongjun's omniscience and omnipotence, he instantly perceived that Chen Ku should not have appeared here.
In other words, Chen Ku was an unforeseen variable.
However, Hongjun merely paused for a moment and did not pay it any mind.
A mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal was not worth Hongjun's further attention.
Little did anyone know that Chen Ku was already greatly shaken, every hair on his body standing on end.
"What is going on?!"
"Could Dao Ancestor Hongjun have discovered something?!"
Chen Ku thought to himself.
That single glance from Hongjun seemed to see through everything about him in an instant, leaving Chen Ku deeply alarmed.
The power of a Saint was simply beyond words.
This made Chen Ku wonder whether following his master to the Purple Cloud Palace had been too rash and impulsive.
Fortunately, before Chen Ku could think any further, Hongjun withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to him.
In an instant, Chen Ku felt the overwhelming pressure dissipate. He let out a long breath, his heart finally settling.
Then Hongjun said in a deep voice,
"This shall be my final sermon."
"Once the sermon is complete, I shall employ the Harmonization Method and no longer manifest in this world."
"You shall all listen with calm hearts..."
These words caused the three thousand mighty beings to exchange glances.
At present, they still did not quite understand what this so-called "Harmonization Method" meant.
However, Hongjun ignored the crowd's puzzled expressions.
As soon as he finished speaking, he began his sermon on his own.
"This time, I shall explain the various methods of attaining the Dao."
"For example, attaining the Dao through Severing the Three Corpses, through fate, through merit, and so on..."
As Hongjun began his explanation, ethereal immortal music immediately filled the vast Purple Cloud Palace, while Great Dao Golden Lotuses manifested one after another, profound beyond measure.
The three thousand mighty beings remained silent, wholly immersed in listening to the Dao, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
In an instant, boundless Dao resonance spread through the air, while the order of laws surged mightily above everyone's heads.
Every mighty being had their Dao hearts shine, their divine senses sweeping forth. Clearly, they had gained profound insights.
But no one knew that Chen Ku had now fallen into a frenzied state of comprehension, surpassing many of the mighty beings present.
Not to mention that under Hongjun's sermon, Chen Ku's Primal Chaos Sutra was steadily improving, advancing by leaps and bounds.
At the same time, his Heaven-Defying Comprehension had long been operating without cease.
The Dao Hongjun spoke of was already incomparably obscure, profound, and mysterious.
Yet within Chen Ku's sea of consciousness, it underwent another transformation and sublimation, becoming even more unfathomable.
At a certain moment, Heaven-Defying Comprehension displayed its might once more!
You listened to a Saint's sermon, comprehended the method of Severing the Three Corpses, combined it with yourself, and comprehended the Three-Bodies of the Buddha Technique!
Feeling this notification, Chen Ku froze!
Three Buddha Bodies?!
What kind of technique was this?!
He immediately sank his divine sense inward and began to examine it carefully.
A moment later, Chen Ku's expression changed drastically, and he was overcome with surprise and delight.
This Three-Bodies of the Buddha Technique was a wholly new technique derived from Severing the Three Corpses as its foundation.
By cultivating this technique, one could refine three Buddha Bodies!
They were respectively the Dharma Body, Reward Body, and Manifestation Body, corresponding to the three corpses.
Yet this technique differed greatly from Severing the Three Corpses.
With Severing the Three Corpses, the higher the grade of the spiritual treasure one used as a vessel, the higher one's limit would be, but that limit could not be broken.
Furthermore, once the three corpses were severed, they would no longer have any connection to oneself. Only when the three corpses merged into one could one continue advancing.
The Three Buddha Bodies, however, could cultivate and raise their own cultivation. Once they returned to simplicity and merged into one, they could undergo ultimate sublimation and achieve astonishing advancement.
Ha ha, good, this is wonderful!
Not only is the Three-Bodies of the Buddha Technique a variant of Severing the Three Corpses, it also makes up for the latter's shortcomings.
By cultivating this technique, my future potential and limit will surpass Severing the Three Corpses by countless times.
Chen Ku rejoiced inwardly as he thought this.
Coming to this sermon had truly been the right choice.
Not only that, after suppressing his joy at comprehending the Three Buddha Bodies, Chen Ku's heart stirred once more.
With a Saint giving a sermon, such a perfect opportunity, how could he not use the Myriad Year Dream?!
Chen Ku immediately activated the divine ability of the Myriad Year Dream.
The other mighty beings had their eyes slightly closed, calming their hearts and focusing their minds as they listened carefully to the sermon, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
But Chen Ku had already entered a wondrous state like that of a dream.
This was practically like cheating!
As Hongjun preached, waves of immortal music rang out. Every sentence was like a true utterance of the Great Dao, containing unfathomably profound Dao resonance that was difficult to comprehend.
Yet Chen Ku could slowly understand it within his heart until he understood it completely.
Though the sermon had only lasted several hundred years, Chen Ku had already gained a full ten thousand years of cultivation and Dao attainment.
As his cultivation rose, the Three Buddha Bodies technique within his sea of consciousness also shone with ever more brilliant divine light, becoming incomparably wondrous.
With but a single thought, he could cultivate the Three Buddha Bodies!
But Chen Ku suppressed that impulse and did not rush to break through.
And amid such frenzied comprehension, time drifted on.
Before anyone realized it, three thousand years had passed.
This sermon at the Purple Cloud Palace was gradually nearing its end!
