Zixiao Palace Second Lecture

The Great Desolation does not keep count of years.

In the blink of an eye, only a hundred years remained until the second sermon at Zixiao Palace began.

Many Great Powers had already arrived outside Zixiao Palace in advance, awaiting the opening of the gates.

This sermon, the Saint said, would be on the path of the Quasi-Saint.

In the current Great Desolation, most people's realms had already reached Late Grand Unity.

The number of Great Powers who had broken through to Grand Unity Perfection was not small either.

Many people's eyes now revealed anticipation.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi stood outside Zixiao Palace, their gazes sweeping over the assembled Great Powers.

"Senior Brother, why don't I see those two Golden Crows this time?" Yao Chi lowered her voice and asked Hao Tian, who was equally bored beside her.

Hao Tian glanced at his junior sister and said with a smile, "It's best if they don't come, lest they ask foolish questions again and displease Master."

"Let me tell you, that Tai Yi is a famous sycophant in the Great Desolation. He can't walk when he sees a beautiful female immortal."

"Junior Sister, be careful not to be targeted by that Tai Yi."

"Hmph! I wouldn't fancy such a frivolous fellow!" Yao Chi's small face scrunched up, and she waved her hand dismissively, though her eyes curiously flickered towards the crowd. "But Senior Brother, you say Tai Yi would really dare to pester female immortals at the entrance of Zixiao Palace? Isn't he afraid of Master's blame?"

Just as Hao Tian was about to reply, his gaze swept over two figures approaching in the distance, and he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh?"

They saw Nuwa and Fuxi had arrived and were exchanging pleasantries with Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi.

On the other side, a cold moonlight flowed as Xi He and Chang Xi also appeared quietly, immediately attracting many gazes.

Chang Xi still stayed close to Xi He, her small face bearing the usual wariness of outsiders.

"Look, the two goddesses from the Lunar Star have arrived."

Hao Tian gestured with his eyes.

"It is said that Tai Yi took a fancy to the Ancestor Witches Xuanming and Houtu, and was beaten by Dijiang. If he dares to come this time, I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Chi's eyes widened, and she whispered, "He actually dares to think that? He even dares to... Ancestor Witches..."

Her voice trailed off.

A slightly hurried sound of air breaking came.

Two figures arrived, one after the other, it was Jieyin and Zhunti.

However, their appearances were slightly different from last time. Jieyin's expression seemed even more pained, while Zhunti's eyes held a trace of unconcealable fatigue.

As soon as they landed, they subconsciously looked in a certain direction.

Not far away.

Xuan Qing, holding lotus leaves, stood alone in the shadows of a corner, his aura gloomy.

Occasionally, when he looked up in the direction of the Four Pure Ones, his eyes also held resentment.

Jieyin and Zhunti withdrew their gazes and exchanged a look, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Monitoring this madman for a Yuan Hui had exhausted them.

"Senior Brother, look over there." Yao Chi suddenly tugged at Hao Tian's sleeve.

Two Golden Crows, like scorching suns, landed outside Zixiao Palace. The Solar True Fire dissipated, revealing Tai Yi and Qin Yuan.

Following behind them were other Great Powers at Late Grand Unity, such as Bai Ze and Ji Meng.

After Chen Tian and Dijiang revealed their Hun Yuan Golden Immortal cultivation, the Witch Clan became even more lawless in the Great Desolation.

Many weak clans were directly exterminated by the Witch Clan as food.

Even some powerful Great Powers had suffered greatly.

Therefore, after Tai Yi proposed the idea of establishing the Demon Clan, many people joined forces with Tai Yi.

After the second sermon, it was estimated that the Demon Clan would be established to counter the Witch Clan.

Tai Yi did not notice the gazes of Hao Tian and Yao Chi.

His mind was entirely focused on the female immortals of the Great Desolation present.

He had already received several waves of rewards from the "More Children, More Blessings" system, and now possessed several Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

If he gave these spiritual treasures to Nuwa or Xi He, he might gain their favor.

Just as Tai Yi was about to step forward to talk to Xi He, he was pulled back by Qin Yuan beside him.

"Second Brother, the gate of Zixiao Palace has opened." Qin Yuan kindly reminded him.

Tai Yi frowned upon hearing this. How could this third brother be so oblivious to social cues? Aren't you happy that your second brother is finding you more sisters-in-law?

The gate of Zixiao Palace was pushed open by Hao Tian and Yao Chi.

The Great Powers entered together.

Compared to the previous sermon, the number of people this time was significantly smaller.

Some had perished during this Yuan Hui, while others could not make it due to certain special reasons.

For example, the thirteen Ancestor Witches were busy training the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Array.

Entering Zixiao Palace.

The six cushions were still in their original positions, and Hongjun was nowhere to be seen.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Kunpeng, and Xuan Qing took their seats on the six cushions, while the rest found comfortable spots and sat down.

This Yuan Hui, quite a few Transmigrators had also arrived.

Seeing the six people on the cushions, they felt confused.

Why was this completely different from the cushion distribution in their memories?

However, they didn't think too much about it, as the distribution of cushions had nothing to do with them anyway.

Moreover, since the Western duo hadn't obtained cushions, they likely wouldn't become Saints.

At that time, they could plunder the West without any reservations.

Although the Western world wasn't as good as the East, it still had quite a few treasures.

The Transmigrators looked at Jieyin and Zhunti in unison, revealing sinister smiles.

Jieyin shivered all over and looked at Zhunti beside him, "Junior Brother, do you have any ominous premonitions?"

"No, Senior Brother. I think you're too tired from monitoring Xuan Qing. I'll watch him more for you when we get back," Zhunti replied.

"Let's hope so." Jieyin stopped talking and began to look forward to this sermon.

Xuan Qing sat on his cushion, his gaze searching the crowd, but he couldn't find Chen Tian.

His resentment towards Chen Tian now far surpassed that of the Four Pure Ones.

However, he also knew that with his own strength alone, he would never be a match for the Ancestor Witches.

After this sermon, the Heavenly Court would be established, and he would join the Heavenly Court then.

The Three Pure Ones, like other Great Powers, didn't have many thoughts; they just wanted to wait for Hongjun to appear and explain the path of the Quasi-Saint to them.

Li Shou also stood beside the Three Pure Ones, his eyes filled with anticipation.

His foundation was among the top tier in the Great Desolation.

However, as a Transmigrator, his comprehension was indeed limited. It wasn't until a hundred years ago that he barely reached Grand Unity Perfection.

"Dao Ancestor, please speak simply," Li Shou hoped.

Among the Four Pure Ones, he was the most diligent, but his cultivation grew slowly.

Crack.

As Hao Tian and Yao Chi closed the doors of Zixiao Palace, Hongjun, at some unknown time, had already sat on the cushion on the high platform.

Mysterious Dao rhythms filled the entire Zixiao Palace, sending a jolt through everyone's hearts.

The cultivation of the Saint was even more unfathomable than last time.

Hongjun looked at the crowd with their varied expressions and slowly said, "In this sermon, I will teach the path of the Quasi-Saint."

"May I ask, Saint, what is a Quasi-Saint, and how can we break through to become Quasi-Saints?" A Great Power in the crowd quickly asked.

Others also looked towards Hongjun.

There were quite a few Great Powers present who had reached Grand Unity Perfection, but none had broken through to become Quasi-Saints.

If it weren't for Chen Tian and Chang Xi having displayed power beyond Grand Unity, they would truly believe that Grand Unity Perfection was the pinnacle of cultivation.
