Dao Ancestor Begins Teaching! The Cute Baby Fell Asleep in Class?

Inside the Zixiao Palace, there was a deathly silence.

Every single one of the three thousand powerful beings from the Primordial World was frozen in place on their prayer mats, as if they had been subjected to a spell.

Their eyes were fixed intently on the high pulpit.

What did they see?

They saw that delicate, seemingly harmless baby who, after refusing the futon offered by the Sage, actually climbed onto the Sage's preaching platform on all fours!

Then, in the silence, he plopped down in the arms of Hongjun Daozu!

That's not all!

He found a comfortable position, wiggled his little bottom, and leaned his head against the chest of the Hongjun Daozu, which contained the ultimate truth of the Heavenly Dao, and yawned contentedly.

"Mmm... Grandpa's embrace feels so good."

This scene was like an invisible Chaos hammer, smashing the Dao Heart that the three thousand powerful beings had painstakingly pieced together into pieces once again.

The muscles on the faces of the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were sitting in the front row, were twitching wildly.

They proclaimed themselves born emperors, future rulers of the Demon Race Heavenly Court —how noble, how majestic!

But now, looking at the baby being held in the Sage's arms and casually tugging at the Sage's beard like a toy, they suddenly felt that their own imperial aura was simply a joke.

Compared to them, they're nothing but emperors!

"Brother...I...have we been cultivating the wrong path?" Tai Yi's divine sense trembled.

Di Jun took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his voice was still hoarse. "Don't ask me, I don't know either..."

The Ancestor Minghe of the Blood Sea, whose blood-red eyes were always filled with killing intent and arrogance, was now filled with bewilderment.

He always felt that he was the most unconventional and lawless being in the Primordial World.

But today he realized that compared to this little kid, his so-called "lawlessness" was nothing more than children playing house.

This little guy is the true being, transcending all rules!

The Western Duo had finally managed to secure the position of Sage, Jieyin and Zhunti, were terrified out of their wits.

They stole a glance at Lin Shen on the high platform, then looked at the hard-won purple futon beneath their own bottoms.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.

It turns out that the most prestigious seats in the Zixiao Palace are not the six seats for Sage.

It was the Dao Ancestor's thigh!

Why didn't they think of that?!

For a moment, the two men were filled with remorse, beating their chests and stamping their feet. If only they had known, they would have done what the little child did and gone up there to cry; maybe they could have gotten a leg ornament too.

As for the Three Pure Ones Nuwa, they had completely given up on thinking.

Yuanshi Tianzun maintained a stern expression, but the slight trembling in his eyes betrayed his inner turmoil.

The Tongtian Jiaozhu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything. He could only watch helplessly as his disciple was held in the arms of another old man.

Taiqing Laozi silently closed his eyes and began chanting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

Out of sight, out of mind.

If he continued watching, he feared that his Great Dao of Non-Action would be broken today.

On the high platform, Hongjun Daozu looked at the little guy in his arms who had already started to doze off, his face full of doting and helplessness.

He gently patted Lin Shen on the back, then looked up, his gaze sweeping over the three thousand petrified "wooden carvings" below.

He cleared his throat, and his seemingly ordinary voice, like the Great Dao Resonant Sound, instantly snapped everyone out of their shock.

"Quiet."

A single word, Words Manifest Reality, carries the weight of law.

All the chaotic thoughts and distracting ideas within the Zixiao Palace were soothed at this moment.

The three thousand powerful beings instantly regained their senses, sitting upright with solemn expressions, no longer daring to be distracted in the slightest.

"There are three thousand great paths, and every one of them can lead to enlightenment."

"Today, I will expound the Great Luo Path to you."

The voice of Hongjun Daozu began to echo within the Zixiao Palace.

Every word contains infinite mysteries.

Each syllable evolves into countless rules.

Flowers rained down from the sky, Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth.

Within the Zixiao Palace, the Sound of the Great Dao permeated the air, and countless Divine Chains of Law appeared out of thin air, intertwining to form profound Dao diagrams.

All the great beings who came to hear the Dao were instantly captivated by the Sound of the Great Dao, and immediately immersed themselves in the deepest level of enlightenment.

They felt like sponges that had been parched for millions of years, frantically absorbing the sweet rain of knowledge.

Countless cultivation problems that had troubled them for countless eons were solved at this moment.

Many powerful beings who were stuck at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm experienced their auras rise uncontrollably during the process of listening to the Dao, showing faint signs of breaking through to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

The entire Zixiao Palace became an ocean of enlightenment.

However...

In this solemn and majestic ocean of enlightenment, however, there is an extremely discordant note.

Lin Shen was sitting in the warm and comfortable arms of Hongjun Daozu, his little head nodding little by little, his eyelids drooping wildly.

Oh My God!

What's that noise?

Why does this feel just like the most soporific Marxist philosophy class I took in college last life?

It was buzzing so loudly it was giving me a headache.

Lin Shen tried to open his eyes wide, trying to make himself look more energetic.

After all, it was Grandpa giving a lesson, and I had to be a good baby and not fall asleep.

However, the hypnotic effect of this Sound of the Great Dao is simply too powerful.

In addition, the embrace of the Hongjun Daozu was warm and soft, and carried a reassuring fragrance.

Lin Shen felt as if he were lying in the most comfortable cradle, listening to the world's best lullaby.

"Haa~~"

He opened his mouth wide and yawned widely, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

No, no, I'm going to fall asleep...

The Three Pure Ones Nuwa, sitting below, were also trying to comprehend Hongjun's Great Dao, but each of them devoted a sliver of their attention to staring intently at Lin Shen.

When they saw Lin Shen start to yawn, their hearts jumped into their throats.

My Little Ancestor!

You absolutely mustn't fall asleep!

This is Sage preaching! Three thousand great masters are all here listening!

If you fall asleep like this, and word gets out, where will we, the people of Kunlun Mountain, put our faces?

The Tongtian Jiaozhu was so anxious that he scratched his head and tried to use his divine sense to tell his disciple a joke to cheer him up.

But as soon as his divine sense reached out, it was repelled by an invisible aura of Sage.

Within the Zixiao Palace, no one but the Sage can afford to make any underhanded moves.

Yuanshi Tianzun was also anxious. He wanted to use his magic to conjure up a small toy to attract Lin Shen's attention.

The result was the same; the magic power simply could not leave the body.

Nuwa was extremely anxious. She wanted to give the little kitten to Lin Shen to play with, but the kitten had been stunned into unconsciousness by the Sound of the Great Dao the moment Hongjun began his sermon. It was now lying on its back in Lin Shen's pocket, fast asleep.

Lin Shen's little head was nodding faster and faster, almost to the point of completely shutting down.

Just then...

The profound and mysterious Sound of the Great Dao, which resounded throughout the entire Zixiao Palace, suddenly paused slightly.

Then, the profound and unfathomable Daoist voice suddenly changed its style.

It no longer evolves into some ultimate principle of heaven and earth, Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

Instead, it became a simple and straightforward story full of childlike fun.

"In the Chaos, there was a giant named Pangu..."

"Pangu slept for a very, very long time. One day he woke up and found it was all dark around him, which wasn't fun."

"So he picked up the small axe beside him, and with a 'crack,' cleaved the dark room in two..."

Hongjun Daozu's voice became exceptionally gentle, like a kind grandfather telling his grandson a bedtime story.

This sudden change jolted the three thousand powerful beings who were in the process of enlightenment out of their deep reverie.

They looked up, completely bewildered.

What's going on?

Why did the Dao Ancestor suddenly stop talking about the Great Luo Dao and start telling the story of Pangu Creates the Heavens?

And it was done in such a... coaxing tone?

Although everyone knows the legend of Pangu Creates the Heavens, this is the first time it has been told by Sage in this way.

However, they soon realized something was wrong.

Although Hongjun tells the simplest story, every word contains the profound truths of World Creation!

It's a million times easier to understand than those previously unfathomable laws of evolution!

"I understand now! The World Creation wasn't just about power, but also about establishing order!"

"So this is how Earth, Water, Fire, Wind evolved! The Fire Law has puzzled me for three hundred thousand years is finally clear!"

"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things! So that's what it means!"

For a time, exclamations of sudden enlightenment rose and fell throughout the Zixiao Palace.

Countless powerful beings Cultivation Bottleneck instantly loosened because of this simple "bedtime story".

The spiritual energy throughout the entire Zixiao Palace began to surge violently.

Everyone was deeply grateful for Hongjun Daozu's good intentions.

The Dao Ancestor is merciful!

In order to make these ordinary people understand the profound truth, they actually went so far as to use such a simple method to explain it!

However, what they didn't know was...

The Dao Ancestor was really... just coaxing a child.

But what they didn't expect was...

The child, who was being personally coaxed by the Dao Ancestor, pouted after hearing a couple of words.

I found this story even more boring than the lullaby I just heard.

Then, amidst three thousand pairs of envious, jealous, and hateful gazes...

In the despairing eyes of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.

Lin Shen's little head tilted completely to one side.

Nestled in the warm embrace of Hongjun Daozu, he emitted even, soft snores.

He fell asleep.

A single, glistening drop of saliva clung to the corner of his mouth, slowly dripping onto the indestructible Daoist robe woven from the laws of Heaven and Earth, Hongjun Daozu.

The entire Zixiao Palace fell into a deathly silence once again.
