Hongjun Preaches the Dao

Inside the Purple Heaven Palace, the air seemed to freeze.

Hongjun's words clearly entered everyone's minds.

Kunpeng's face was a mask of fury. Her gaze was fixed on Hong Yun's direction, her eyes filled with even more venom.

If Hong Yun hadn't set the precedent by giving up her seat, how would Jieyin and Zhunti have snatched mine?

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hong Yun and sighed softly. She didn't say anything more; in front of a Saint, one must not be presumptuous.

A wave of regret washed over Hong Yun; she had missed a monumental opportunity.

Hongjun's gaze swept over the crowd with a calm expression and slowly spoke, "This sermon will be divided into three sessions. Each session will last three thousand years, with a thirty-thousand-year interval between each. These are extreme numbers."

The three thousand guests of Purple Heaven listened attentively.

Hongjun said, "Cultivation can be divided into three tiers."

"The first is Grand Unity, with boundless lifespan, coexisting with heaven and earth, living freely and eternally, indestructible through myriad calamities."

"The second is Quasi-Saint, controlling laws, able to manipulate the power of heaven and earth, glimpsing the threshold of sainthood."

"The third is Saint. Untouched by karma, their Primordial Spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, acting as an agent of the Dao. As long as the Heavenly Dao endures, Saints will not die."

At this point, Hongjun paused slightly, her gaze profound.

"Below Saint, all are ants!"

This statement caused an uproar throughout the hall.

Below Saint, all are ants!

These words delivered a tremendous shock to everyone present.

Hongjun, with a serene expression, continued her sermon, "I will preach three times. The first time will be the Dao of Grand Unity, the second time the Dao of Quasi-Saint, and the third time the Dao of Saint."

"Below Grand Unity, there are seven realms. I shall begin with Heavenly Immortal."

Hearing this, Chu Feng's heart leaped. As expected, it's following the script. She's not discussing the path of Law Proving the Dao.

Just then, the System's voice suddenly appeared in Chu Feng's mind.

Ding-dong, Purple Firmament Palace plot detected. Given the host's perfect completion of the previous chain quest, a new round of chain quests to alter the Primordial World plot is now being released.

"Quest 1: Unite the Three Clans: Marry Yuan Feng, Ancestral Dragon, and First Qilin, and persuade the Three Clans to not participate in the Witch-Demon Calamity." "Quest Success: Reward: 30x Primordial Golden Immortal Dao Fruit (Supreme Edition)." "To better assist the host in completing the quest, Primordial Golden Immortal Dao Fruits will be advanced. The host can extract them from the System Space at any time." "Primordial Golden Immortal Dao Fruit (Supreme Edition): Upon use, directly prove the Dao as a Primordial Golden Immortal based on the cultivated laws. If already a Primordial Golden Immortal, cultivation will be restored to its peak, foundation strengthened, and Heavenly Dao suppression ignored." "Failure Penalty: Extreme Yang Power will disappear, host's cultivation will be retained, host will become female, and become sisters with Primordial World beings."

"Quest 2: Go to the Taiyin Star and rescue Wangshu, awakening her." "Quest Success: Reward: None. Quest Failure: No penalty, chain quest ends."

"Quest 3: Save Hong Yun and change her fate." "Quest Success: Reward: None. Failure Penalty: None. All System recovery progress will be cleared, and the System will fall into complete slumber. (Quest 3 can only be undertaken after completing Quest 2)"

"Ding-dong, upon completion of all three chain quests, a Perfect Chain Reward will be triggered: System recovery progress increased by 10%." "Reward: Host will receive Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Dao Fruit (Extreme Yang Dao Edition). Upon use, the host will prove the Dao as a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal through the Extreme Yang Dao (invincible among peers)."

What the hell!

What kind of chain quest is this?

Isn't this a bit too much?

Persuading the Three Clans not to join the Witch-Demon Calamity has nothing to do with marrying Yuan Feng, Ancestral Dragon, and First Qilin?

"You damn System, are you trying to kill me?"

"I swear, are you back to normal and just pretending to be stupid? You clearly know I made an agreement with Hongjun, and you're still telling me to marry them?"

Chu Feng was stunned. He could barely handle Luohu, and Hongjun was still watching him with a covetous eye, having already made an agreement with him.

It was important to remember that Chu Feng was the first male creature in the Primordial World and was undoubtedly being watched by the Heavenly Dao.

Hongjun had already become a Saint. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Luohu and Hongjun found out he married the clan leaders.

Would they, in their rage, kill him on the spot?

However, the System still offered no response to Chu Feng.

2999 years later, in the endless void, a shadowy figure could be seen faintly.

"Six-Eared Macaque was born from a Chaos Demon Ape and should not exist in this world."

The Heavenly Dao's phantom pointed a finger, and Hongjun's sermon voice entered the Six-Eared Macaque's mind.

At the same time, Hongjun's voice echoed in the Six-Eared Macaque's mind: "Only by cultivating to strengthen oneself to overcome tribulations and proving the Dao to become a Saint can one remain untouched by karma and exist eternally with the heavens."

Purple Heaven Palace.

Hongjun frowned slightly and said, "Well done, Six-Eared Macaque, daring to eavesdrop on my sermon."

With that said, Hongjun waved her slender hand. A terrifying energy crossed the chaos and flew towards the Six-Eared Macaque, severely injuring it and shattering its foundation.

"Henceforth, the Dharma shall not be taught to ears other than these."

Hongjun spoke indifferently and continued her sermon. No one dared to make a sound.

One year later, the sermon concluded.

Hongjun looked at everyone indifferently. "This sermon has lasted for three thousand years and ends here."

"In thirty thousand years, I will hold another sermon here on the Dao of the Quasi-Saint. You may all leave and cultivate diligently."

As the words fell, the cloud platform was already empty.

"Farewell, Teacher!"

The three thousand guests of Purple Heaven Palace rose in unison and bowed.

After the ceremony, everyone exchanged insights in small groups, their faces showing expressions of lingering interest and great harvest.

They had gained a lot from this sermon.

No one dared to linger there and instead transformed into streams of light, flying out of the Purple Firmament Palace to avoid displeasing the Saint.

"I will be entering seclusion soon and will have no time to attend to you. You may travel on your own and seek opportunities."

Hongjun's voice entered Chu Feng's mind.

At that moment, twelve figures walked towards Chu Feng.

Dijiang smiled. "Fellow Daoist Chu, I knew you would come to join the fun. Look, my sisters and I came to see you together."

"Hahaha, ever since you left, no one's been around to fight with me," Zhurong shouted loudly.

Chu Feng smiled back and cupped his hands. "Thank you all for your concern. Fellow Daoists also look as spirited as ever. Sister Zhurong, when I have time, I'll have a good fight with you. Don't you dare cry, okay?"

Zhurong's expression faltered. She was indeed no match for Chu Feng.

The other witches burst into laughter upon seeing Zhurong's predicament.

At the same time, Nuwa and Fuxi also arrived.

Fuxi greeted him first. "Fellow Daoist Chu, how have you been lately?"

"I'm alright."

Chu Feng replied simply, and they stopped speaking.

The matter of Purple Firmament Palace was something he knew in his heart and should not be spread, lest he become entangled in karma.

If this were any other Primordial World, Nuwa not having occupied a seat would surely have aroused Hongjun's suspicion.

However, in this Primordial World, with Chu Feng present, he had informed Hongjun of his relationship with Nuwa before the sermon.

Although Hongjun hadn't said much, Chu Feng could tell her expression wasn't pleased.

Fortunately, Hongjun didn't take her anger out on Nuwa for not occupying a cushion, so the outcome was acceptable.

As for what would happen in the future, he could only take it one step at a time.

Just then, three graceful figures flew towards Chu Feng.

Tongtian smiled sweetly. "Senior, it's been many years, and you still look as spirited as ever."

Chu Feng was filled with confusion and scrutinized the three of them. "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, what do you mean? We don't seem to have met before?"
