Zixiao Palace Opens, Powerful Space Law!

Yuanshi was calculating his own odds, but he didn't know that the moment he spoke, he instantly enraged Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi glared at Yuanshi and coldly shouted, "Yuanshi, what do you mean? Are you trying to fight me?"

"Those who are covered in fur and horns, hatched from eggs, or born from dampness!"

Yuanshi snorted coldly, not hiding his contempt at all.

"Second Brother, say less!"

Tongtian couldn't stand it and repeatedly reminded him.

Laozi shook his head subtly. Although he also looked down on Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, Yuanshi's words had directly offended countless people present.

After all, many of the beings present were the "covered in fur and horns, hatched from eggs, or born from dampness" that Yuanshi spoke of.

This was a direct indiscriminate attack!

Too bold!

"Sanqing, good, very good. This matter isn't over!"

Dijun gritted his teeth and turned to Xuanyuan, "We admit defeat this time. Our paths will cross again. We will retrieve the River Diagram and Luo Book and the Donghuang Bell sooner or later!"

"Heh heh, we'll be waiting!"

Xuanyuan laughed heartily and waved his hand, signaling for Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi to be released.

Xuanyuan had several objectives for coming to Zixiao Palace this time.

To complete the sign-in and System tasks, to disrupt the karma behind Hongjun's sermon, to probe the many powerful beings of the Primordial World, and to win over powerful beings of the Earthly and Human Dao such as Hongyun, Zhen Yuanzi, Nuwa, and Nether Patriarch.

Thus, on the edge of the Outer Heavens, Xuanyuan agreed to bring Six-Eared Macaque and others to cross the Chaos Void and arrive at Zixiao Palace, disrupting Hongjun's plans, using the Supreme Grade Innate Supreme Treasure—the Taiji Diagram.

Because he had long anticipated that the moment the Taiji Diagram appeared, it would inevitably attract those with ulterior motives to seize it.

Ultimately, he would use entrapment to lure out Sanqing, Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Nether Patriarch.

And use the momentum to draw Hongyun into the game.

Unfortunately, the honest old man Hongyun was not so honest.

The subsequent plan to draw out Zhen Yuanzi, Nuwa, and others could not be implemented.

This was why he changed his strategy and attacked forcefully, instantly suppressing Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, and seizing the Donghuang Bell and the River Diagram and Luo Book.

He displayed his powerful, terrifying strength.

On one hand, he told the many powerful beings present that the Witch Clan was not to be trifled with and that they should have fewer designs on the Witch Clan in the future. On the other hand, he weakened Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, making arrangements in advance for the impending Lich Tribulation.

As Xuanyuan had predicted, everyone's jaws dropped in shock, and they retreated repeatedly, no longer daring to have any further thoughts.

Inside Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun was constantly deducing, and his usually calm face was filled with surprise.

Xuanyuan, the Ancestor Witches, the Taiji Diagram, fifty-four thousand living beings...

There were too many variables, exceeding his control.

It made him, a Saint of the Heavenly Dao, feel agitated.

"Haotian, Yaochi, open the palace gates, and begin the sermon!"

"Yes, Master!"

The two young attendants, Haotian and Yaochi, replied respectfully.

They couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Their Master was always punctual. If he said he would preach in a thousand years, he would never do it early or late.

But now, the thousand-year period had not yet arrived, and their Master was going to open Zixiao Palace to preach in advance?

The two took their orders and left Zixiao Palace, loudly proclaiming, "The thousand years are up, Zixiao Palace is open!"

As the words fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zixiao Palace was open, and the Dao Ancestor was about to preach.

Finally, they didn't have to face terrifying beings like Xuanyuan and the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

"Quick, go!"

"Charge!"

"The Dao Ancestor's sermon is a great opportunity, we must secure a good position!"

The beings who came to listen to the sermon were excited and thrilled, all using their fastest speed to charge towards Zixiao Palace.

"The thousand-year period clearly hasn't arrived yet, and Hongjun actually opened Zixiao Palace early?"

Xuanyuan was puzzled. When he saw Sanqing transform into three streaks of light and charge towards Zixiao Palace, he suddenly understood.

Hongjun opening Zixiao Palace early was to prevent him from continuing to seize Sanqing's treasures.

"Well done, Hongjun. You're being too obviously biased!"

Xuanyuan sneered inwardly, "Since you, Hongjun, are unfair, don't blame me for not giving you face!"

With a decision made, Xuanyuan waved his hand, unleashing the Space Law—Close at Hand, Yet Worlds Apart.

Zixiao Palace was clearly right before their eyes, yet it felt as if it were at the ends of the earth. No matter how hard everyone tried, they couldn't get any closer.

"How could this be?"

"This must be a test set by a Saint. I will never give up!"

"That's right! As long as we complete the test, we can enter Zixiao Palace and listen to the Saint's teachings!"

Everyone believed it was a test from Old Ancestor Hongjun, unaware that Xuanyuan was secretly causing trouble.

Even if they tried for tens of thousands of years, they wouldn't be able to get close to Zixiao Palace.

"Let's go, we're going in!"

Xuanyuan led the Twelve Ancestor Witches towards Zixiao Palace.

"Make way, don't block the path!"

Zhurong and Gonggong yelled at the top of their lungs.

Seeing them, the others quickly made way, afraid of provoking these troublemakers.

The scene in the Outer Heavens was still fresh in their minds; no one wanted to experience that again.

"Puffing yourselves up, huh? Do you think a Saint's test is that easy to pass!"

"If we can't do it, you savages definitely can't!"

"This is a Saint's test! What good is brute strength?"

Yuanshi, Donghuang Taiyi, and Nether Patriarch sneered dismissively.

They were convinced this was Old Ancestor Hongjun's test for those seeking knowledge, and it wouldn't be easily passed. Could the Ancestor Witches be stronger than Saints?

"Just because you can't, doesn't mean we can't!"

"Keep your eyes wide open and watch closely how we enter Zixiao Palace!"

Xuanyuan, with the Twelve Ancestor Witches, walked unhurriedly, as if strolling through a garden, and easily crossed the threshold of Zixiao Palace, entering within.

This scene shocked everyone.

"How is this possible?"

"Unfair, it's unfair!"

"Words are useless. If the Witch Clan savages can enter Zixiao Palace, so can we!"

Some were unconvinced, but more saw hope. They immediately brought out their strongest treasures and pushed forward with even greater effort, all for the chance to enter Zixiao Palace.

Old Ancestor Hongjun's sermon was the greatest opportunity in the Primordial World, and no one would give it up.

Deep within Zixiao Palace, Old Ancestor Hongjun was so angry he almost vomited blood.

Shameless, utterly shameless!

That scoundrel Xuanyuan was too shameless; he wished he could slap him to death with one palm.

However, Xuanyuan was an Ancestor Witch, born from Great God Pangu's essence blood, bearing the merit of heaven-opening, and was the protagonist of the next great tribulation. Even he, a Heavenly Dao Saint, had to consider the karmic consequences before acting against Xuanyuan.

"Hmph, the Ancestor Witches are born with deficient primordial spirits. Listening to my teachings will be like reading a Heaven Book to them. Once the sermon ends, Sanqing, Dijun, and the others will surely advance to Daluo Golden Immortal, and then they will naturally take action!"

Hongjun snorted coldly. The immediate priority was to get Sanqing, Dijun, and the others into Zixiao Palace first.

"This humble Taoist feels the hardships of cultivation for the beings of the Primordial World, and has thus established a dojo in Zixiao Palace. Those who are fated may enter Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao!"

As the Sound of the Great Dao echoed, various auspicious phenomena appeared inside and outside Zixiao Palace.

Flowers rained down, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, multicolored clouds soared, and purple qi filled the sky.

Outside Zixiao Palace, a faint cracking sound was heard. The power of the laws that had blocked everyone's path vanished. Sanqing, Dijun, and the others were the first to rush into Zixiao Palace.

Zixiao Palace appeared small from the outside, but upon entering, everyone discovered its boundless space.

Even with fifty-four thousand people entering simultaneously, it didn't feel crowded.

Instead, it was incredibly vast!

Moreover, the entire Zixiao Palace was filled with Dao charm, and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Qi was everywhere. Cultivating here for one day was equivalent to a hundred years outside.

Everyone was secretly amazed; a Saint's dojo was truly extraordinary.
