When the time came and those unlucky fools discovered their dojo had been looted, the first people they suspected would be Zhunti and Jieyin.
And Great God Bai Chen could sleep peacefully in the dojo.
Seeing that Bai Chen had no intention of attending the Dao lecture, Zhunti was immediately bewildered and confused.
This was a Saint preaching! If he learned the Saint's Primordial Unity Dao Method and mastered the method of attaining the Dao, it would be an unparalleled opportunity!
"Third Brother, there are plenty of opportunities, but missing out on a Saint's lecture—an opportunity of such magnitude—means losing it forever."
Zhunti and Jieyin earnestly urged Bai Chen. After all, they were sworn brothers!
They had to share hardships and blessings alike.
"I'm not going!"
Bai Chen rejected Zhunti and Jieyin again. There were still many places of opportunity he had yet to visit.
For example, the Three Penglai Isles where East Prince Gong's dojo was located, Di Jun's Sun Star, Xihe's Moon Star... These were all places of opportunity.
As for offending East Prince Gong, the Di Jun brothers, and the Xihe sisters?
Bai Chen did not care in the slightest. In any case, they could not attain the Dao. As long as Nuwa was designated a future Saint, those fellows could only endure it.
"Third Brother, as your sworn elder brothers, how could we allow you to miss out on such a great opportunity?"
"Third Brother, as for the places of opportunity, once we have time later, the three of us can search for them together."
Zhunti and Jieyin finally realized that Bai Chen wanted to shake off his two sworn elder brothers, eat alone, and loot the dojos of those Innate Great Gods by himself.
Zhunti and Jieyin each grabbed one of Bai Chen's hands and forcibly took him to the Purple Cloud Palace to attend the Dao lecture.
At present, Zhunti and Jieyin both feared that their third brother Bai Chen would have a bad life, yet also feared that he would have too good a life.
As sworn brothers, they had to share blessings and hardships alike!
"This Great God isn't going! I'm not going~"
Bai Chen struggled desperately, but all his efforts were ultimately futile.
Not to mention that he did not dare use his full strength for fear of exposing his true form.
Even if he revealed his true form, his cultivation was inferior to Zhunti and Jieyin's. How could he possibly break free of their control?
Great Luo Heaven, Purple Cloud Palace...
Haotian and Yaochi, the two personal disciples, opened the gates of the Purple Cloud Palace.
Yaochi bowed to the assembled Innate Great Gods, then tactfully stepped aside to clear the way.
Haotian, however, bowed to the assembled Innate Great Gods and said,
"Fellow Daoists, the Purple Cloud Palace is a Saint's dojo. When entering, be careful not to lose your manners."
Haotian's younger sister Yaoji was a sweeping maid, so he did not want these Innate Great Gods to add to his sister's workload.
The Innate Great Gods were pleased by Haotian's bow and salute.
But they were extremely displeased by his tone.
Haotian was merely a personal disciple, a postnatal ant. How dare he address these noble Innate Deities and Innate Divine Beasts as fellow Daoists? He clearly had no sense of hierarchy.
Among these Innate Deities and Innate Divine Beasts were even some transformed from the Primordial Spirit True Spirits of Chaos Demon Gods.
By seniority, they were peers of Ancestor Hongjun. They could even address Ancestor Hongjun as a fellow Daoist.
If Haotian had not been Ancestor Hongjun's personal disciple, there was no need to imagine his fate. These Innate Great Gods would undoubtedly have killed him without mercy.
After all, among these Innate Great Gods were no shortage of ferocious and ruthless deities!
Haotian's discourteous behavior had earned the hatred of the Innate Great Gods.
After entering the Purple Cloud Palace, the assembled Innate Great Gods soon arrived at the main hall. In the center, they discovered six meditation cushions of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure quality.
These Innate Great Gods were no fools. The six cushions were placed in the center, directly facing the elevated platform above.
If Ancestor Hongjun lectured on the Dao, he would naturally pay more attention to those sitting on the cushions.
For a moment, many Innate Great Gods flew toward the cushions. Kunpeng, who possessed the Speed Laws, seized one first.
The three brothers of the Three Pure Ones were not slow either, each claiming one.
With Fuxi's cover, Nuwa seized one cushion.
With Zhenyuanzi's help, Hong Yun seized one cushion.
The many Innate Great Gods who had failed to seize a cushion stared intently at the six cushions.
They wondered whether they should drag the occupants off their cushions.
"Two worthy younger brothers!"
Taiqing Laozi gave Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian a meaningful look, then took out the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
The three brothers of the Three Pure Ones fully activated the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, protecting themselves and the cushions beneath them.
The moment the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda appeared, its profound yellow aura shielded the Three Pure Ones, rendering them immune to all techniques.
Although the Innate Great Gods could not see through the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda's true nature, they could tell that it was a supreme treasure.
With such a treasure protecting them, the Three Pure Ones were hard bones to chew. The Innate Great Gods had no choice but to abandon the idea of targeting them for the moment.
Unable to seize the Three Pure Ones' cushions, the Innate Great Gods turned their gazes toward Nuwa, Hong Yun, and Kunpeng.
Seeing that those Innate Great Gods were preparing to seize his sister's position, Fuxi hurriedly took out his accompanying Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Fuxi Qin—to protect Nuwa.
Although Fuxi's cultivation was formidable, it was not enough to deter everyone.
After all, quite a few great gods present were no weaker than him, such as Nether River of the Sea of Blood, Queen Mother of the West, and Taiyin Xihe.
"If you wish to know whether this seat's sword is sharp, feel free to come and test it!"
Nuwa brought out the supreme treasure, the Primordial Holy Sword, intimidating the assembled Innate Great Gods.
Although the Primordial Holy Sword primarily wielded the power of creation, its offensive might was not weak either—more than enough to deter many Innate Great Gods.
With Nuwa bringing out the Primordial Holy Sword, the Innate Great Gods could only give up on targeting her.
Now, the only cushions left to seize belonged to Hong Yun and Kunpeng.
But Hong Yun had Zhenyuanzi protecting him, and with his reputation as the universally kind man of the Primordial World, the Innate Great Gods found it difficult to attack him.
Kunpeng immediately felt weak-kneed. He realized that his situation was extremely bad!
The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Hong Yun—these five either had supreme treasures or had allies.
He had neither an ally nor a supreme treasure to deter his enemies.
"Fellow Daoists, this is Saint Hongjun's dojo. If you take action here, aren't you afraid of offending the Saint?"
To protect the cushion beneath him, Kunpeng could only invoke Ancestor Hongjun's name.
It had to be said that this move was quite effective. It intimidated the Innate Great Gods and temporarily allowed him to keep his cushion.
Zhunti and Jieyin led Bai Chen through the Thirty-Two Heavens and entered Great Luo Heaven.
Zhunti and Jieyin were destined by the Great Dao to become future Heaven's Dao Saints. It was impossible for them to lose their way in Great Luo Heaven.
To put it bluntly, even if they did not go to the Purple Cloud Palace, Ancestor Hongjun would still bring them there.
"Let go of this Great God~"
Bai Chen had already seen the Purple Cloud Palace in the distance and began struggling frantically.
If he did not resist now, it would be too late later.
But Bai Chen had still overestimated his own strength. Zhunti and Jieyin dragged him directly to the gates of the Purple Cloud Palace.
Once they arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace, Bai Chen completely abandoned his struggle.
To put it bluntly, they were already at the Purple Cloud Palace. Even if Zhunti and Jieyin let him go, he could only enter and listen to the lecture.
If Ancestor Hongjun was preaching and Bai Chen did not want to listen or come, that was fine.
But after coming to the Purple Cloud Palace, turning around and leaving would mean disrespecting the Saint.
If Ancestor Hongjun was petty, Bai Chen's fate could easily be imagined.
The moment Bai Chen's right foot crossed the gates, the Dao technique and divine ability concealing his true form dissipated, revealing his fluffy little beast form.
???
Zhunti and Jieyin stared at Bai Chen's appearance, instantly dumbfounded.
"Third Brother, is this your true form?"
Zhunti asked Bai Chen tentatively. Although he had long suspected that Bai Chen was most likely an Innate Divine Beast rather than an Innate Deity,
he still found Bai Chen's true form difficult to accept when he saw it.
Which Innate Divine Beast did not have an enormous body?
Yet Bai Chen was only as tall as another person's calf, chubby and fluffy. Rather than an Innate Divine Beast, he looked more like someone's Pet Beast.
Jieyin was the first to accept Bai Chen's true form. After all, there were countless Innate Divine Beasts, and it was normal for some to be unusual.
Moreover, the dense innate aura surrounding Bai Chen proved beyond doubt that he was an Innate Divine Beast.
"Third Brother, this is the Purple Cloud Palace, the Saint's dojo. Hurry and transform into an innate Dao body, or you might offend the Saint."
Jieyin advised Bai Chen to quickly assume an innate Dao body.
In the Primordial World, Innate Divine Beasts and Innate Deities generally appeared in the form of an innate Dao body except when necessary.
Going to listen to the lecture in Bai Chen's current form was somewhat disrespectful to the Saint.
"If this Great God could transform into an innate Dao body, I would have done it already."
Bai Chen was speechless. Did he not know that entering like this to listen to the lecture was disrespectful to the Saint?
But the problem was that Great God Bai Chen could not transform. He could not assume an innate Dao body!
