Kunpeng, You Call This Beating Someone Up?

Before long, Hongjun watched as the people comprehending the Dao gradually woke up.

He slowly said, "This three-thousand-year sermon has concluded. The seats have been decided and may not be changed. There will be three sermons in total; the second will be held ten thousand years from now!"

Everyone said, "This disciple thanks the Dao Ancestor for imparting the Dao. May the Saint enjoy boundless longevity!"

When they looked up again, Hongjun was nowhere to be seen!

The crowd bowed toward the high platform, then departed one after another!

"Fellow Daoists, wake up!"

Just as the Twelve Ancestral Witches were sleeping so deeply they knew neither heaven nor earth, a red-robed Daoist appeared, shaking them while calling out.

"Has that old man finished talking?"

Hong Yun nodded. "The Dao Ancestor has finished his sermon!"

"Brothers and sisters, wake up! We're going home!"

Only then did the Twelve Ancestral Witches gradually wake up!

Zhu Rong grumbled, "Big Brother, I'm not coming next time. It was torture. What kind of stuff was he even talking about? It wasn't a fraction as good as Uncle's teachings!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

The other Ancestral Witches chimed in as well!

Di Jiang shook his head slightly and said to Hong Yun, "Please forgive the spectacle, Fellow Daoist!"

Hong Yun smiled. "Not at all, not at all. Every one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches is true to their nature. This humble Daoist envies you greatly!"

As they spoke, they left Purple Cloud Palace together!

Zhen Yuanzi looked worriedly at Hong Yun. "Worthy brother, if you wanted to give up your seat, then give it up. Why did you have to provoke Kunpeng? Kunpeng is terribly difficult to deal with!"

Hong Yun said, "Elder Brother is absolutely right. I won't do it again next time!"

As the two spoke, they looked up and saw Kunpeng glaring furiously at Hong Yun!

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, just now, I also..."

Kunpeng snorted coldly. "Say no more. Let me ask you this: I'm going to teach Yuanshi a lesson. Are you willing to help?"

How could Hong Yun have imagined that Kunpeng's anger was directed at Yuanshi? He hurriedly said, "Yuanshi Tianzun truly should not have acted like that! He had no sense of propriety whatsoever when he spoke!"

Kunpeng ignored Hong Yun. "Just tell me—will you help or not?"

"I... we can't beat them either. There are three brothers!"

Kunpeng said, "You don't need to fight. After I beat them up, I'll run. You just need to hold them back for me!"

The two hit it off at once and headed toward the Three Purities!

Still worried, Zhen Yuanzi silently followed behind them!

The moment the Twelve Ancestral Witches saw that someone was about to fight, their interest was immediately piqued!

Fighting was the Twelve Ancestral Witches' specialty!

Kunpeng spread his wings and soared into the air! He shouted, "Yuanshi, you little brat, why did you insult me?!"

Yuanshi looked up and saw a lump of black shadow hurtling straight at his face!

Yuanshi could not dodge in time and was struck squarely in the face!

He touched it with his hand and instantly flew into a rage. "Kunpeng, you bird-man! You fucking dared to shit on my head!"

When he looked again, Kunpeng had already vanished!

Just as he was about to give chase, Hong Yun hurriedly reached out to stop him. "Fellow Daoist, don't chase him. When Kunpeng spreads his wings, he travels two hundred thousand li in a single breath. How could you possibly catch him? Hurry and wipe yourself clean!"

With that, he pinched his nose and walked off into the distance!

"Kunpeng, you bird-man! I will not rest until one of us is dead!"

At this moment, Laozi finally reacted and angrily rebuked him, "Yuanshi, Kunpeng clearly shat on your face. Why are you framing me?"

Yuanshi: "..."

At this time, the Twelve Ancestral Witches also walked over!

"Little Sister, look! Yuanshi got shat on the head by a bird-man! Hahaha!"

Yuanshi flew into a rage at those words. "You're courting death!"

When the other Ancestral Witches heard this, they immediately crowded over!

"Yuanshi, who did you say was courting death? Are you looking for a beating?"

Yuanshi was beside himself with anger. Kunpeng had shat on his head, and now the Twelve Ancestral Witches were bullying him too!

"I said you're courting death! What, you don't accept it? Then come at me!"

The moment Yuanshi's words left his mouth, the Twelve Ancestral Witches swarmed forward and unleashed a barrage upon him!

Seeing this, Laozi and Tongtian also charged over!

A hundred years later, three figures could be seen fleeing through Hundun in utter disarray!

"Yuanshi, watch that mouth of yours from now on! The face of us Three Purities has been utterly disgraced today!"

"Big Brother, how can you blame me for this? You saw it too, didn't you? They were the ones bullying me!"

Tongtian said irritably as well, "Second Brother, weren't you the one who started it? Without cause, where would the effect come from?"

"Tongtian, even you are mocking me?" Yuanshi roared.

"I'm only telling the truth!"

Laozi rebuked them, "Enough, that's enough. You two still don't think this is humiliating enough? Remember what happened today. Go back and cultivate properly. Hmph!"

Yuanshi threw back his head and roared, "Kunpeng, Twelve Ancestral Witches—I, Yuanshi, will remember this!"

On Three Immortals Island, a brilliantly multicolored phoenix circled through the air, with a little monkey lying on her back—or, to be precise, a large monkey!

"Junior Brother, Master has gone into seclusion. Let's go have some fun in the Primordial Continent! Senior Brother said there are lots of treasures there!"

Six-Eared Macaque munched on a peach as he said, "Will Master be angry if he finds out?"

Caifeng giggled. "No. Master even encourages us to venture into the Primordial Continent for experience!"

"Alright, Senior Sister. Let's go have fun in the Primordial Continent!"

With that, Caifeng flew toward the Primordial Continent!

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at Kunlun Mountain!

"Junior Brother, look! There are so many people gathered over there. Let's go take a look!"

Six-Eared Macaque rose and looked down. Sure enough, there were a great many people!

"Senior Sister, could some treasure be coming into the world? Fly faster!"

At that moment, a supreme treasure was indeed about to emerge on Kunlun Mountain!

Taiyi and Dijun, Nuwa and Fuxi, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, the Three Purities, and others were already waiting there!

Naturally, the Two Sages of the West who had arrived later were there as well: Jieyin and Zhunti!

"Big Brother, I feel that this spiritual treasure is fated with me!" Yuanshi said quietly.

Having learned his lesson from the last time at Purple Cloud Palace, his voice was noticeably much softer this time.

Laozi shot Yuanshi a glare. "It's fated with you? Of all the people who came here, which one isn't an Innate great power? Which one wasn't drawn here by some connection? Later, act according to my signal."

Tongtian and Yuanshi nodded, ready to strike and seize it at any moment!

Everyone present also stared fixedly at the spiritual treasure that was about to emerge!

As the formation faded away, it revealed a Gourd Vine, upon which seven small gourds had grown!

They were the Purple-Gold Gourd, Purple-Green Gourd, Purple-Blue Gourd, Purple-White Gourd, Purple-Red Gourd, Purple-Yellow Gourd, and an immature Purple-Black Gourd!

"Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

Everyone blurted it out in excitement!

The atmosphere immediately became tense!

Even Laozi, who had always seemed detached from worldly contention, appeared exceptionally stirred.

Zhunti secretly transmitted his voice to Jieyin. "Senior Brother, the West is barren, and neither of us brothers has a decent spiritual treasure. This time, we must join forces and seize one!"

Taiyi also whispered into Dijun's ear, "Big Brother, I feel that Purple-White Gourd is fated with me."

Dijun nodded slightly. "The gourds have yet to mature. The moment they do, we'll immediately unleash our magic treasures and seize it. With us brothers joining hands, we'll surely obtain one!"

Seeing everyone eager to make a move, Laozi hurriedly said, "The treasure has yet to emerge, and with so many of us, there certainly won't be enough to go around. Why don't we discuss how to distribute them now? What do you all think?"

Yet in secret, he transmitted his voice to Tongtian and Yuanshi: "The instant the treasures emerge, strike immediately and seize them! Get them in hand first. We can exchange with the others afterward!"

The two nodded together, their eyes locked tightly on the scene before them, afraid of missing even the slightest opening!

Yet things would not unfold in the direction they imagined!
