"When this lecture ends, Purple Sky Palace will open again in three thousand years to teach the Dao of the Sages!"
This news was like a massive bomb dropped directly into everyone's minds.
In an instant, only two words remained in their heads.
Sage!
Everyone immediately became excited.
After rising to their feet, they could not help but lower their heads and discuss it among themselves.
Di Jun was delighted, though he also felt somewhat helpless. Looking at the situation before him, he could not help but say,
"If I can obtain the method of becoming a Sage this time, I want to see who can still stop me from unifying the Primordial World."
Even Eastern Emperor Taiyi at his side was filled with excitement.
Yet although Di Jun was excited, his gaze was also fixed on Eastern King Duke.
Right now, he was consumed by the thought of killing this fellow.
Eastern King Duke, however, was thinking that he had been personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the Head of Male Immortals.
He commanded the male immortals of the Primordial World; no one would dare touch him.
He stood there without fear, his heart brimming with joy.
He had even begun imagining the day he became a Sage and unified the Primordial World.
Watching the excitement of the crowd, Hongjun remained expressionless.
Many of those present were destined never to become Sages.
As for becoming a Sage—
His gaze unconsciously fell upon the Three Pure Ones.
And upon the vacant seat at the front.
A trace of irritation rose in his heart.
Nuwa was not even listening to the Dao anymore. It was clear she had acknowledged that person as her master.
If she did not come to the final lecture, the Primordial Violet Qi could not be given away.
If Nuwa did not take the path of creating humanity to become a Sage in the future,
then the Three Pure Ones' paths to Sainthood would not go so smoothly either.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was no good thing.
Yet after his anxiety rose, a trace of worry filled his heart.
If this truly happened, what would become of the many great currents of fate in the future?
He was anxious, and the Heavenly Dao grew anxious with him.
It trembled several times, seemingly reminding Hongjun that he needed to find a solution.
"You should all leave quickly."
After saying that, many people began walking out of Purple Sky Palace.
Only the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West remained behind.
They did not dare go out.
Who knew whether Nuwa was waiting outside Purple Sky Palace to block them?
However, Hongjun looked at them and still sighed before speaking.
"You should leave. Nuwa is not outside Purple Sky Palace at this moment. She should be at her master's sect."
As for where that small island in the South Sea was, even he did not know.
The Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West wore bitter expressions.
After leaving Purple Sky Palace, they gathered together.
"What should we do this time?"
Among the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi's expression was the worst.
During Purple Sky Palace's first lecture, they had lost all their face.
But when they thought of trying to win it back, they were seized by fear again.
He could still vividly recall the previous battle.
Even with the Mysterious Yellow Merit Pagoda's enhancement, he had nearly died. If it happened again, he might truly perish on the spot.
Zhunti, one of the Two Sages of the West, was also full of lingering fear.
After all, if Hongjun the Sage had not saved them last time, they would have perished at Mount Buzhou.
Yet whenever Jieyin thought of this, he felt that his junior brother was somewhat lacking in sense.
His opening words last time had been—
"This treasure has an affinity with our West."
When those words were spoken, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the others present had not been weak either.
Even if Nuwa had not acted, those people would likely have attacked and punished them directly.
After looking at the situation before them, Jieyin could not help but say,
"This time, we should return to the West and cultivate diligently. Junior Brother, do not cause trouble again."
Zhunti was angry and afraid, so he could only sit there and nod.
The Three Pure Ones beside them could only return to their own Mount Kunlun. If they encountered trouble, the Sage presumably would not ignore them.
After all, he had saved them last time, though they did not know why.
But they could be certain of one thing: the Sage must have a use for keeping them alive.
As for schemes and the like, they had never considered such things.
If a Sage wished to scheme against the world, he could obtain anything with a wave of his hand. Why would he need to scheme?
Think of Luohu back then, who had detonated the West's earth veins.
And he had only been a Quasi-Sage.
A Sage had stepped beyond the threshold of a Quasi-Sage.
They could not imagine just how powerful one would be.
After parting ways, the Three Pure Ones returned to their Kunlun.
The Two Sages of the West headed directly westward.
Zhunti did not linger this time, for if he remained,
the final result might be his death.
Within the Primordial World, Di Jun was the most anxious of all.
He had only just obtained the position of Heavenly Emperor when someone stole a trace of authority from his Heavenly Emperor's Authority.
The positions of All Heavens Stars had been thrown into chaos, leaving him with a sense of crisis.
And there was also Eastern King Duke.
"Elder Brother, how should we deal with Eastern King Duke?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi frowned as well.
"This time, Eastern King Duke has received the Sage's approval. We must not act rashly. Let us observe for now. If Eastern King Duke knows when to advance and retreat, what harm is there in sparing his life?"
"If he does not know what is good for him, we will kill him when the time comes."
After speaking, Eastern Emperor looked behind him and sensed two somewhat familiar auras.
He could not help turning around and saying,
"Elder Brother, they are the two immortal maidens from Moon Star."
Di Jun was stunned upon hearing this, recalling what had happened when the second lecture began.
He could not help turning to look behind him as well.
The two Moon Goddesses also noticed Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi ahead of them.
Changxi immediately said,
"Elder Sister, look, it's Di Jun and the others."
Xihe looked at the two men before her and frowned.
"Let us go around them."
But Changxi directly said,
"Elder Sister, why should we go around them? We can just go over."
Xihe shook her head and then said,
"I simply do not wish to become entangled in too much karma with them."
Changxi nodded upon hearing this.
"Fine, then let's go around."
But after walking some distance, she looked curiously at the stars filling the sky.
"Elder Sister, the stars' positions really have changed."
Xihe nodded, then continued onward.
"Let's go. I do not want to have anything to do with those two."
After saying that, she slipped away directly.
This left Di Jun feeling somewhat disappointed.
He did not know why.
But when he looked at the starry sky before him, his anger flared anew.
"If I find out who did this, I will grind them to dust."
After speaking, he used his Heavenly Emperor's Authority to restore the positions of All Heavens Stars.
Only after everything had been dealt with did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He returned to his Sun Star.
Sitting cross-legged within the Sun God Palace, his cultivation finally stabilized completely.
When he looked at the Good Corpse, one of the Three Corpses that had appeared within his body, a trace of excitement filled his heart.
"Quasi-Sage cultivation! Witch Clan!"
"It is time to make a move."
