Hongjun's Sermon

Inside Purple Cloud Palace, the air seemed to freeze.

Hongjun's words clearly echoed in the minds of everyone present.

Kunpeng's face was as dark as ink, her gaze locked fiercely in Hongyun's direction, her eyes harboring an even more venomous intent.

If Hongyun hadn't set the precedent by giving up her seat, how could Jieyin and Zhunti have snatched away hers?

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hongyun and let out a soft sigh; she said nothing more, for in front of a saint, one must not act presumptuously.

A wave of deep regret surged in Hongyun's heart, lamenting the missed opportunity of a lifetime.

Hongjun's calm gaze swept across the crowd, and she slowly spoke, "This sermon is divided into three parts. Each sermon will last for three thousand years, with an interval of thirty thousand years between each, reaching the limit of numbers."

The three thousand guests of Purple Cloud Palace listened intently.

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

"The first is Daxiang, possessing boundless lifespan, co-existing with heaven and earth, living at ease and untethered, indestructible through all kalpas."

"The second is the Quasi-Saint, who masters the laws, can harness the power of heaven and earth, and catches a glimpse of the threshold of the Dao of Saints."

"The third is the Saint, untainted by karma, whose primordial spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, wielding the Dao on behalf of heaven. As long as the Heavenly Dao is undestroyed, the Saint never dies."

At this, Hongjun paused slightly, her gaze profound.

"Beneath the saint, all are ants!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.

Beneath the saint, all are ants!

These words brought a tremendous shock to everyone present.

Hongjun, however, maintained a detached expression and continued her sermon, "This deity will lecture three times in total. The first is the Dao of Daxiang, the second is the Dao of the Quasi-Saint, and the third is the Dao of the Saint."

"Below Daxiang, there are seven realms in total. This seat shall begin lecturing from the Celestial Immortal."

Hearing this, Chu Feng felt a jolt in his heart, As expected, it still follows the script. She is not teaching the path of proving the Dao through law at all.

At that very moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in Chu Feng's mind.

"Ding-dong, Purple Cloud Palace plot detected. Given that the host perfectly completed the consecutive quests last time, a new round of chained quests to alter the Primordial history is now issued."

"Quest One: Unite the three clans—marry Yuanfeng, Ancestral Dragon, and First Qilin, and persuade the three clans not to participate in the Witch-Demon Calamity. Quest Success: Reward Hunyuan Golden Immortal Fruit of the Dao (Supreme Edition) × 30. To help the host complete the quest better, the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Fruit of the Dao will be advanced in the system space, and the host may extract it at any time. Hunyuan Golden Immortal Fruit of the Dao (Supreme Edition): After use, one can directly prove the Dao as a Hunyuan Golden Immortal based on the laws cultivated. If one has already proven the Dao as a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, cultivation will be restored to its peak, foundations reinforced, and suppression by the Heavenly Dao ignored. Failure Penalty: Extreme Yang Power vanishes, host's cultivation is retained, and the host becomes female, becoming sisters with the living beings of the Untamed."

"Quest Two: Go to Taiyin Star to rescue Wangshu and awaken her. Quest Success: None. Quest Failure: No penalty, chained quests end."

"Quest Three: Rescue Hongyun and alter Hongyun's destiny. Quest Success: None. Failure Penalty: None, clear all system recovery progress, and the system falls into complete slumber. (Quest Three can only be undertaken upon completing Quest Two)"

"Ding-dong, after the host completes the three chained quests, a perfect chain reward is triggered: system recovery progress increases by 10%, and the host is rewarded with the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Fruit of the Dao (Extreme Yang Dao Edition). After use, the host will prove the Dao as a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal via the Extreme Yang Dao (invincible in the same realm)."

What the fuck!

What kind of bloody chained quest is this?!

Isn't this going a bit too far?

What on earth does persuading the three clans not to join the Witch-Demon Calamity have to do with marrying Yuanfeng, Ancestral Dragon, and First Qilin?

"Lousy system, are you trying to kill me?"

"My goodness, tell me, have you already recovered and are just pretending to be stupid? Knowing full well that Hongjun and I made an agreement, you still bloody well want me to marry them?!"

Chu Feng was dumbfounded. Dealing with Luohu alone was already all he could handle, yet Hongjun was still eyeing him like a tiger eyeing its prey and had even made an agreement with him.

One must realize that Chu Feng was the very first male living being in the Untamed; without even needing to think, he was already targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

Now that Hongjun had become a saint, he dared not imagine what would happen once he married the three clan leaders.

If Luohu and Hongjun found out, would they fly into a rage and wipe him out on the spot?

Yet the system still offered Chu Feng no reply whatsoever.

2999 years later, in the Endless Void, a petite black figure flickered faintly.

"The Six-Eared Macaque is transformed from the Chaos Demon Ape and should not exist in this world."

The phantom of the Heavenly Dao casually pointed, and the sound of Hongjun's lecture echoed in the mind of the Six-Eared Macaque.

At the same time, the voice of Hongjun lecturing rang in the mind of the Six-Eared Macaque: "Only by cultivating and strengthening oneself to weather tribulations and prove the Dao to become a saint can one remain untainted by karma and exist eternally with heaven."

Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she said, "What an audacious Six-Eared Macaque, daring to eavesdrop on My sermon."

With that, Hongjun waved her fair hand, and a terrifying energy crossed the chaos, flying toward the Six-Eared Macaque and beating her into heavy injuries with shattered foundations.

"From this day forth, the Dao shall not be transmitted to the six-eared."

Hongjun spoke indifferently and continued her sermon as the crowd dared not utter a sound.

One year later, the sermon concluded.

Hongjun looked indifferently at the crowd, "This sermon has lasted for three thousand years and concludes here."

"In thirty thousand years, I shall lecture on the Dao of the Quasi-Saint right here. You may depart yourselves and comprehend it well."

As her voice faded, the cloud platform was already completely empty.

"Respectfully sending off Teacher!"

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

When the bows were finished, the crowd chatted in twos and threes about their insights, their faces mostly showing expressions of unfulfillment and immense gain.

From this sermon, they had reaped a bountiful harvest.

Daring not linger here, the crowd transformed into streaks of light and flew out of Purple Cloud Palace to avoid displeasing the saint.

"This deity is about to enter secluded cultivation and will have no time to attend to you. You may travel on your own and seek your opportunities." ... Hongjun's voice entered Chu Feng's mind.

Just at that moment, twelve figures walked over toward Chu Feng.

Dijiang smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, I knew you would come join the excitement. Look, we sisters have all come to see you together."

"Hahahaha, after you left, there was no one left to spar with me," Zhurong shouted at the top of her lungs.

Chu Feng returned a smile, cupped his fists, and said, "Thank you all for remembering. Fellow daoists are as spirited as ever. Sister Zhurong, I shall properly battle you again when I have time; you mustn't cry, mind you."

Zhurong's speech choked slightly, for she indeed was no match for Chu Feng.

Seeing Zhurong take a hit, the other witches burst into loud laughter.

At the same time, Nuwa and Fuxi hurried over.

Fuxi took the lead in greeting him, "Fellow Daoist Chu, how have you been lately?"

"Not bad."

Chu Feng gave a simple reply, and the two said no more.

As for the matter of Purple Cloud Palace, it was enough for him to understand it in his heart; it must not be spread outside lest it incur karma.

If this were any other Untamed realm, Nuwa not seizing a seat would certainly have made her the target of Hongjun's suspicion.

However, in this Untamed realm, with Chu Feng around, he had already informed Nuwa of his relationship with her prior to Hongjun's sermon.

Although Hongjun hadn't said much, Chu Feng could tell that Hongjun's complexion was not good.

Fortunately, Hongjun did not vent her anger on Nuwa for not occupying a cattail mat, so the outcome could be considered good.

As for how things would turn out in the future, he could only take it one step at a time.

Just then, three graceful figures flew toward Chu Feng.

Tongtian smiled sweetly and said, "Senior, it has been many years since we last met, and you are as spirited as ever."

Chu Feng wore a puzzled expression, carefully sizing up the three of them, What does Fellow Daoist Tongtian mean by this? It seems we haven't met before, have we?
