Saintly Sermon: Why Did the Interception Sect Disciples Feel That Their Teacher's Teaching Wasn't as Good as Senior Disciple Brother's?

Kunlun Mountains.

Inside Shangqing Hall.

Sect Master Tongtian awoke from comprehending the Great Dao.

Only then did he realize that the Kunlun Mountain Range had been exceptionally quiet and peaceful over the past several thousand years.

Originally, the Great Dao disputes sparked by arguments and fights between the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects had kept Kunlun Mountains in constant turmoil. On top of that, the Interception Sect disciples truly were somewhat unruly.

Kunlun Mountains had never known peace.

Yet over these past few thousand years.

It had been this quiet?

Sect Master Tongtian swept his gaze across the entire Kunlun Mountain Range and immediately saw all the Karma involved.

His heart was filled with indescribable emotions.

It turned out that his fine disciple Qingyuan had rallied the Three Sects Disciples to build the Kunlun Immortal Market together.

The Three Sects Disciples had thrown all their energy into the bustling construction work. Everyone wanted to accomplish their shared goal.

Who would have thought.

That precisely because of this.

The disciples of the Chan Sect and Interception Sect had been too busy over the past few thousand years to find time for conflict.

"Qingyuan, Qingyuan, you keep talking about the blessings of work, yet you haven't let your fellow disciples rest for even a few years in thousands of years. Is this your blessing?"

Sect Master Tongtian smiled helplessly.

Then, he used a Divine Ability to sound the Yugu Drum and declared, "I shall preach the Dao for three thousand years. All Interception Sect disciples, return to Shangqing Peak at once!"

Rumble!!

Heavenly might surged, and his voice rang out with majestic grandeur!

This scene startled the Interception Sect disciples working fervently at every Construction Site.

"Teacher is going to preach the Dao?"

Someone froze for a moment before his face lit up with wild delight. "Wonderful, we've finally waited for Teacher to preach the Dao!"

"Senior Brother, why are you so happy?"

An Interception Sect disciple beside him asked curiously.

Unable to conceal his ecstatic joy, the man laughed. "You don't know this, but several thousand years ago, I listened to Senior Disciple Brother preach the Dao on Serene Peak. Not only did I comprehend a Five Elements Escape Art, I even broke through a minor realm—and I had only listened for a little over three hundred years!"

"This time, Teacher himself is preaching the Dao."

"Who is Teacher?"

"Teacher is a revered Saint of the Primordial Wilderness! If a Saint personally preaches the Dao for three thousand years, won't I comprehend Divine Abilities and break through a major realm?!!"

"My chance at the Dao has arrived!!!"

The cultivator dropped his tools and rushed toward Shangqing Peak with a fanatical expression.

At the same time.

The Interception Sect disciples who had once listened to Qingyuan preach on Serene Peak also spread the news through the crowd, leaving countless Interception Sect disciples shocked and eager. One after another, they hurried frantically toward Shangqing Peak.

What a joke.

The First Disciple of Intercepting Sect could already produce such results when he preached the Dao.

If a Saint preached the Dao in person, wouldn't they soar straight into the heavens?!!!

Afterward.

A vast mass of Disciples of the Jie Sect gathered toward Shangqing Peak like dark clouds. Before long, nearly ten thousand had assembled, each waiting excitedly.

The bolder ones.

Even shouted for Sect Master Tongtian to begin preaching immediately.

Had such impatient temperaments been displayed before any other Saint.

Not only would that Saint refuse to preach the Dao, he would likely punish these audacious disciples for defying their teacher!

Yet Sect Master Tongtian was not angry at all. Instead, he burst into hearty, unrestrained laughter. "Do not rush, do not rush. We shall wait until your senior brothers arrive."

Before long.

Qingyuan, Daoist Duobao, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Holy Mother Wudang, Qiushou Xian, Golden Hoop Immortal, Jinguang Xian, Immortal Dingguang...

Along with the elite inner and outer disciples of the Interception Sect, all arrived at the scene.

They bowed together to Sect Master Tongtian and said, "Greetings, Master/Teacher!"

"No need for such ceremony. Take your seats quickly and listen to my teaching."

Looking at the grand spectacle of so many disciples.

Sect Master Tongtian was in exceptionally high spirits. He sat cross-legged upon a cushion outside Jade Purity Hall and began preaching the Dao.

In an instant.

Heavenly flowers fell in profusion, and Golden Lotuses sprang from the earth.

Above Sect Master Tongtian's head, boundless Dao light filled the cosmos, while the Three Flowers gathered and manifested, evolving all manner of Great Dao Laws.

The Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe rippled with endless Primordial Violet Qi. Pairs of banners led the Dao before him, while music sounded in perfect time, transforming Shangqing Peak into a supreme holy land of the Primordial Wilderness. Truly, Laws descended together, and Radiant Glow stretched for thousands of miles!!

At the same time.

The two Saints of Taiqing Peak and Yuqing Peak also felt sorry for their disciples, who had worked continuously for several thousand years without rest.

They ordered them to emerge from Secluded Cultivation and listen to the Dao.

Before long.

Taiqing Radiance and Yuqing Radiance bloomed over Taiqing Peak and Yuqing Peak. Vast and boundless saintly might drew Chaos Law down upon the land, and the auras of the three peaks linked together, becoming a supreme holy land of the Primordial Wilderness.

This display of power.

Made Saint Nuwa in Wa Huang Heaven frown slightly.

In the Western Lands, within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Jieyin and Zhunti, who were teaching a group of hopeless misfits, suddenly wore expressions of deep sorrow.

"The three senior brothers possess such imposing might, and they also occupy the fertile and gifted eastern lands. It will be difficult for us to accomplish anything."

Saint Jieyin sighed softly.

But after Zhunti paused for a moment, he said, "Senior Brother, the Witch-Demon Two Clans are about to ignite war. Why don't I travel east and seek those fated to our Western Lands? If I bring them back and nurture them carefully, it would be an excellent method."

"Would that not offend the three senior brothers?"

Saint Jieyin furrowed his brow, but Saint Zhunti smiled. "Our Buddhist Sect only saves those with affinity."

"Then I shall trouble you, Junior Brother."

Saint Jieyin sighed.

"It is nothing. It is for Western Flourishing, and for the Great Dao of you and me."

Saint Zhunti cupped his hands toward Jieyin, then vanished from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Saint Jieyin lowered his gaze and continued preaching the Dao to the hopeless misfits...

Kunlun Mountains.

Outside Shangqing Peak.

Saint Shangqing preached the Dao here.

Nearly ten thousand Disciples of the Jie Sect listened to the Saint's teaching in the open space. Most were utterly entranced, immersed within it.

Yet a small portion of them.

Could not enter the proper state no matter how they listened. Their faces were filled with doubt and furrowed brows.

Some even fell soundly asleep.

A strange thought arose in their hearts: What the hell is this? Why can't I understand any of it? What exactly is Teacher talking about???

Three thousand long years passed.

Sect Master Tongtian finished preaching the Dao, set the next sermon for ten thousand years later, and vanished.

On the row of cushions closest to Sect Master Tongtian.

Qingyuan, Daoist Duobao, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, and the other elite Interception Sect disciples were shrouded in Dao Resonance. Their auras were deep and unfathomable, and one could vaguely see rivers of Laws evolving around them, their momentum magnificent.

Daoist Duobao in particular had already comprehended the mysteries of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

He bore the signs of Five Qi Facing Origin.

The essence and qi of the rolling Five Elements Great Dao Law gathered into his body.

Though he had not yet broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, his aura was clearly as though one foot had already crossed the threshold.

Qingyuan had also gained considerably.

But he did not make it known.

He cupped his hands toward Daoist Duobao and smiled. "Congratulations, Junior Disciple Duobao. You are about to enter Grand Unity and become the foremost among the Three Sects Disciples!"

Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Holy Mother Wudang, Qiushou Xian, Immortal Dingguang, and the other immortals also cupped their hands toward Daoist Duobao in congratulations. "Congratulations, Senior Brother Duobao, on your advancement in cultivation and entry into Grand Unity!"

"Hahahaha, thank you, Senior Disciple Brother. Thank you, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters!"

Daoist Duobao was full of spirit, holding his head high and chest out. After returning their greetings.

He quickly left Shangqing Peak.

He intended to seize the feeling of impending breakthrough and return to his Cave Abode for Secluded Cultivation!

At the same time.

Many Interception Sect disciples who had once listened to Qingyuan preach on Serene Peak gathered in groups of three or five, filled with doubt as they said, "Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, why do I feel that Teacher's preaching wasn't even as good as Senior Disciple Brother's?"

"Yes, I feel the same way!"

"I couldn't understand it, and I couldn't learn it either. I slept for several thousand years."

"Next time, I'll bring you all to listen to Senior Disciple Brother preach the Dao. Senior Disciple Brother truly has ability—whatever he says, I understand the moment I hear it!!"

When Qingyuan heard that.

His face darkened, and he used White Rainbow Escape to flee.

But the scene before his eyes flickered.

He found himself inside Shangqing Hall...
