Shocked Zixiao Palace! Di Jun and Tai Yi, not coming?

As for how this matter would develop afterward...

Xuan Yang actually cared greatly about it deep down.

After all, it was closely connected to Di Jun and Taiyi.

Moreover, after he, this "variable," had joined the equation...

The Primordial Wilderness now constantly produced all manner of strange and bizarre events because of the Butterfly Effect.

This often caught Xuan Yang by surprise as well.

Thus, he was truly rather curious.

Once they discovered that Eldest Brother and Second Brother were being so disrespectful that they would not even attend Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture...

How would the cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness, as well as Old Ancestor Hongjun himself, react?

Time continued to pass.

Meanwhile, Xuan Yang remained on the Sun Star as always.

The Sun Star was quite lively now.

With Di Jun, Taiyi, Fufeng, and the ten Little Golden Crows...

Even without counting Wangshu, Chang Xi, Xi He, and the others who often came to visit, the Sun Star was extremely bustling every day.

Xuan Yang did not dislike this liveliness.

On the contrary, he greatly enjoyed it.

Thus, during the period that followed, Xuan Yang lived quite comfortably on the Sun Star.

In the blink of an eye, the time for Old Ancestor Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture had finally arrived.

At this moment, cultivators had already packed the area outside Purple Cloud Palace.

After experiencing the benefits of listening to the Dao last time, the cultivators all felt they had not had enough.

Therefore, they had arrived even earlier than before.

The gates of Purple Cloud Palace had yet to open, but they were already waiting outside.

All the cultivators eagerly awaited the opening of Purple Cloud Palace, excited smiles spread across their faces.

Clearly, they were greatly looking forward to the content of Old Ancestor Hongjun's upcoming sermon.

Yet among these cultivators, a very small number appeared utterly uninterested.

It was as though they had not listened to the same sermon, forming a stark contrast with the excited cultivators.

This group naturally consisted of Tongtian, Nuwa, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and Queen Mother of the West.

After reading what Xuan Yang had previously written in his diary...

These cultivators had completely lost their reverence for Old Ancestor Hongjun's sermons.

They had only come this time because they had no choice but to put on an appearance.

Therefore, when they saw the other cultivators looking full of anticipation and even discussing the content of Old Ancestor Hongjun's coming sermon...

Tongtian, Nuwa, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Queen Mother of the West, and the others...

Only found these people rather noisy.

Still, with nothing better to do, their gazes swept over the cultivators outside Purple Cloud Palace.

They did not do so because they were interested in those cultivators.

In truth, they had no interest whatsoever in ordinary cultivators.

Then why did they do it?

Because they had all noticed something important--

Di Jun and Taiyi had not come.

Thus, every one of them could not help feeling somewhat astonished.

Some had even begun discussing it through voice transmission.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi sent a voice transmission to Hongyun:

"Daoist Friend Hongyun, did you notice? Daoist Friend Di Jun and Daoist Friend Taiyi do not seem to have arrived yet."

Hongyun's surprised reply came back:

"Indeed... I looked around just now, and I did not see them either."

"Logically speaking, given their speed, they should not be this late..."

Zhen Yuanzi replied to Hongyun:

"Daoist Friend Hongyun, do you think there is a possibility that they are not coming?"

Hongyun froze on the spot.

"Wouldn't that mean they are disrespecting Old Ancestor Hongjun?"

"Daoist Friend Di Jun's seat is one of the Heavenly Path Cushion seats at the very front..."

"Once the sermon begins, won't everyone discover that they did not come?"

"This is truly going to be explosive..."

Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi were both deeply shocked by this.

Nuwa was the same on the other side.

She sent a voice transmission to Fuxi. "Elder Brother, did you notice? Di Jun and Taiyi did not come."

Fuxi replied in surprise, "They must be late, right? This is Old Ancestor Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture... There should be no reason for them to miss it."

Although Nuwa had already resolved not to learn Slaying the Three Corpses, since Old Ancestor Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture had not yet begun, she had not persuaded Fuxi not to cultivate it either. Besides, the reason behind it was not easy to explain openly.

Therefore, Fuxi had yet to lose his reverence for Old Ancestor Hongjun.

Naturally, he did not know that Di Jun and Taiyi might truly not come.

But Nuwa had guessed it. She shook her head at Fuxi and said:

"No, I feel that they truly are not coming."

"Otherwise, given their speed, they should have arrived long ago..."

Fuxi stared blankly in astonishment for a moment.

Only then did he say with a bitter smile, "Then the repercussions will be enormous..."

Everyone continued waiting outside Purple Cloud Palace.

As time steadily passed, other cultivators gradually arrived at the scene as well.

East King Duke had finally arrived.

The moment he appeared, he made an imposing entrance.

He was surrounded by numerous male cultivators, and his Immortal Court had clearly already taken on its initial form.

Seeing East King Duke's grand display, the cultivators present all turned their attention toward him.

When he saw everyone looking at him in surprise, East King Duke's nose nearly tilted into the sky.

He became even more smug, continually imagining himself becoming the ruler of the Immortal Court and dominating the Primordial Wilderness in the future.

He was beyond excited.

But after merely glancing at him, Tongtian, Nuwa, Queen Mother of the West, and the other Diary Owners disdainfully withdrew their gazes.

They secretly mocked East King Duke in their hearts. Idiot!

At this point, although they had not learned from Xuan Yang's diary why Hongjun had appointed East King Duke as the Head of Male Immortals...

They had already gained a thorough understanding of Old Ancestor Hongjun.

He was an old schemer!

Everything was calculation!

Therefore, Old Ancestor Hongjun's appointment of East King Duke as the Head of Male Immortals definitely served some ulterior purpose.

But this foolish East King Duke clearly had not considered that possibility yet.

As always, he was behaving as though he had become drunk on his own success.

Thus, the Diary Owners were all secretly mocking East King Duke in their hearts.

Go on and keep being proud. One day, you'll know how you died!

With an idiot like this, after Old Ancestor Hongjun's Second Dao Lecture, won't he be the first to rush into cultivating Slaying the Three Corpses?

I can already picture it.

At that moment, the date set by Old Ancestor Hongjun for the Second Dao Lecture had arrived.

The gates of Purple Cloud Palace opened once again!

Dense immortal qi poured forth!

The cultivators all rushed into Purple Cloud Palace.

Because the seating arrangements had already been decided last time, the cultivators easily found their previous seats and sat down in an orderly fashion.

Yet because of this, an empty seat at the very front was exposed!

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones, Hongyun, and Nuwa had all taken their seats!

Only Di Jun's seat remained completely empty.

The cultivators present carefully scanned Purple Cloud Palace several times before discovering that there was no trace of Di Jun or Taiyi at all.

Immediately, shocked voices rang out from the cultivators.

"Why is no one sitting on that Heavenly Path Cushion at the front?"

"I remember, isn't that Di Jun's seat?"

"Wait, I waited outside Purple Cloud Palace for so long, and I do not think I saw Di Jun or Taiyi?"

"No way? Could it be that they are not coming this time?"

"Does Old Ancestor Hongjun know about this?"
