Beichen's Sharp Tongue and Shameless Brawling in Purple Cloud Palace

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing the words "confront Old Ancestor Hongjun head-on," Hongjun's face grew even darker!

The hundreds of thousands of cultivators within Purple Heaven Palace also heard this, their hearts pounding, as they broke out in a cold sweat for Beichen.

"How dare he speak of confronting the Dao Ancestor directly in front of him? He's practically courting death!"

"The Dao Ancestor will likely be furious this time, causing the Mystic Turtle's blood to splatter on the spot. Before the Great Dao can even be expounded, bloodshed will occur first!"

The guests in Purple Heaven Palace discussed amongst themselves, filled with trepidation.

Some, however, were gloating, waiting to watch the spectacle.

"Do you think the Dao Ancestor will kill the Mystic Turtle?"

"The Mystic Turtle has just stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm and is already so arrogant. The Dao Ancestor surely cannot tolerate him and will kill him."

"Exactly. This North Sea Black Tortoise, as the overlord of the North Sea, is now the only one among them to have reached the Quasi-Saint realm. He has even surpassed the four disciples under Dao Ancestor Hongjun. How could this not displease the Dao Ancestor?"

"If the Dao Ancestor is angered, he's as good as dead!"

"Speaking of which, this Mystic Turtle is truly formidable, managing to step into the Quasi-Saint realm at this very moment. He is the foremost figure in the Primordial World, besides Dao Ancestor Hongjun, in the open! The Dao Ancestor might not be able to tolerate him!"

"Indeed, Dao Ancestor Hongjun will surely not tolerate this person and will slay him to eliminate any future trouble."

These cultivators all speculated that Beichen would be killed by Old Ancestor Hongjun.

Some cultivators raised doubts: "Would the Dao Ancestor needlessly commit murder? It wouldn't look good for his reputation. I don't think he'll actually slay this Mystic Turtle!"

"Hmm, the Mystic Turtle won't die. Otherwise, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would be suspected of being petty and intolerant."

"Hush, speak softly. Don't let Dao Ancestor Hongjun hear you, or he might expel you as well, or even kill you!"

Beside them, someone lowered their voice and continued, "Dao Ancestor Hongjun is magnanimous. Not only will he not kill the Mystic Turtle, but he will also allow him to remain in the palace to listen to the sermon. Even if the Mystic Turtle no longer needs to listen to the Dao, the Dao essence within Purple Cloud Palace will be extremely beneficial for his cultivation!"

As soon as these words fell, Beichen was seen waving his hands repeatedly at Hongjun: "No, no, Mystic Turtle Beichen didn't say anything."

"You all heard nothing!"

Everyone: "..."

Hongjun had no intention of letting it go: "Is that so? Do you think my ears are deaf?"

"I clearly heard you say you wanted to confront me head-on. What were you confronting?"

"Oh, no, it's true that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's ears are deaf... Oh, no, Beichen means you misheard!"

"Ding, Host has directly confronted the might of a Saint. Reward: A wisp of the Divine Light of Heaven and Earth Great Dao!"

This voice echoed in Beichen's mind. Outside the Purple Heaven Palace, a divine radiance imbued with the laws of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao descended from thin air, crashing into the Purple Heaven Palace.

This divine radiance of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao actually penetrated the concealment of the Purple Firmament Palace without causing any damage. It suddenly landed within Beichen's body.

Buzz!

Instantly, divine light flickered around Beichen. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth enveloped him, making him like a divine iron rod, standing firmly in the front row of the Purple Firmament Palace.

"What magnificent divine light! This is..."

Upon seeing this, everyone felt an insurmountable height and unfathomable depth. This divine light seemed to be from beyond the heavens, compelling them to bow in reverence.

"This is the Divine Light of Heaven and Earth Great Dao's Favor, capable of resisting the might of a Saint!"

Among the "Three Thousand Guests," talented individuals emerged, and some saw through the mystery.

"Strange, so strange. How could this North Sea Black Tortoise suddenly obtain such a great opportunity?"

"No wonder he said he wanted to confront Dao Ancestor Hongjun head-on. So he had this move up his sleeve!"

Seeing this scene, Old Ancestor Hongjun's anger intensified.

However, upon probing, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"This Mystic Turtle is protected by a strand of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao's Divine Light. There's nothing I can do!" Hongjun frowned, thinking to himself, "For now, the only course of action is to expel him from Purple Cloud Palace. If I want to kill him, I'll have to plan for it later!"

This wisp of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao's Divine Light made Old Ancestor Hongjun feel threatened. He completely harbored murderous intent towards Beichen.

Meanwhile, Beichen inwardly reveled, praising the system for its effectiveness.

With this strand of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao's Divine Light, no matter how displeased Hongjun was with him, he wouldn't dare to make a move to kill him.

This divine light clearly showcased his essence as a "variable" to the fullest.

Beichen stared at Old Ancestor Hongjun, inwardly relishing the feeling of "you hate me but can't do anything about it."

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Mystic Turtle knows that it was wrong to suddenly break through before your sermon today without restraint!" Beichen deliberately bellowed, a mischievous smile on his face. "But you are the Dao Ancestor, magnanimous and broad-minded. You won't kill Mystic Turtle today, nor will you expel him. You will surely let Mystic Turtle stay here to listen to the Dao, won't you?"

"Wait? Doesn't this sound a bit like what I said?"

When the previous Daoist friend muttered, he had said something similar.

Unexpectedly, Hongjun's expression turned cold, and he chuckled, "North Sea Black Tortoise, since you have stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm, you are no longer suited to listen to the Dao of Grand Unity Golden Immortals. I shall open the palace gates for you now, and you may depart!"

"No, wait!" Beichen cleared his throat. "Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Beichen's advancement to the Quasi-Saint realm, has it not provoked your jealousy or displeasure?"

"If Dao Ancestor Hongjun drives Beichen out today because of this, it will make you seem petty and intolerant, which is bad for your reputation!"

"You!" Hongjun's old face darkened further.

Below him, someone's eyes widened. "This Mystic Turtle is imitating me! Didn't I say that?"

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, is it because Beichen is currently the foremost person in the Great Desolation beneath you, having entered the Quasi-Saint realm before your four disciples? Are you feeling slighted and wish to expel me from the palace?"

"Hey, hey, I said that. Did you hear what the Mystic Turtle said? I said that!"

As they took their seats, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal seemed to take pride in this.

"You, you!" Old Ancestor Hongjun let out a long sigh. "Mystic Turtle Beichen, you are talking nonsense!"

"Yes, Ancestor Hongjun is right, Beichen is talking nonsense! Therefore, you absolutely won't do that. You are definitely not a petty, intolerant, and jealous Dao Ancestor. You are magnanimous, open-minded, and broad-chested, and you will allow the Mystic Turtle to stay in Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao!"

"You... you are right!"

Old Ancestor Hongjun couldn't help but respond.

"Alright, that's great then!" Beichen smiled slightly.

"Huh?"

Hongjun only then realized that Beichen, with his sharp tongue, had actually gotten him to openly agree to let him stay.

"Beichen has delayed Dao Ancestor's sermon and everyone's time. Now, Dao Ancestor will begin his sermon. Everyone, please applaud to welcome him!"

Beichen, taking the host's role, became the "host" of Purple Firmament Palace.

"Applaud? Applaud? What does that mean?"

Countless Great Desolation powerhouses were stunned on the spot.

But Beichen had already started clapping, pa pa hua hua, making Purple Heaven Palace lively.

"Applaud? It feels a bit awkward! Why should we applaud? What does this mean?"

Changxi and Xihe exchanged glances. Dijun and Taiyi also awkwardly followed suit.

"Silence! Making such a commotion in my Purple Heaven Palace, what kind of conduct is this!"

Hongjun snorted, and everyone stopped.

"Hmph, from now on, I will begin the sermon on the Dao of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"

Old Ancestor Hongjun glared fiercely at the shameless Beichen, having no choice but to compromise.
