Childbirth in Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's Utter Misery

The one who caused these effects on Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sermon was Mystic Turtle Beichen!

These people, and even the aphid in the Universe Ruyi Bottle, were all brought by Beichen!

Seeing that the offspring in Xihe and Changxi's wombs were gradually taking shape as they listened to his sermon, Old Ancestor Hongjun exclaimed inwardly and lamented greatly, "Oh, my Heavenly Dao, it's not enough for these two Goddesses of Taiyin to carry one or two children, they are actually carrying twenty-two beings in total!"

Including the offspring in Xihe and Changxi's wombs, the number of people Beichen brought to listen to the sermon this time exceeded thirty, which was truly terrifying!

This display even made Old Ancestor Hongjun feel as if Beichen was here to show off!

He brought so many beings, including the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, who were originally deeply mired in karma and couldn't listen to the sermon; he also brought twenty-two unborn children who began listening to the sermon in the womb, and even an aphid; most detestably, as soon as Hongjun began his sermon, Beichen plugged his ears and didn't listen a single word.

What was he doing here if not to cause trouble?

Thinking of all this, Old Ancestor Hongjun's sermon speed slowed down, and his anger gradually rose.

However, compared to his anger towards Beichen, Old Ancestor Hongjun was most worried about the birth of the Ten Golden Crows and the Twelve Moon Maidens.

If these twenty-two beings were suddenly born in the Purple Firmament Palace, how chaotic would this palace become!

But, what you fear will come to pass!

As Old Ancestor Hongjun stammered through his two thousand five hundredth year of preaching, having finished the first three stages and about to begin the path to the peak perfection of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a painful groan interrupted him!

"It's here, this moment has finally arrived!"

Old Ancestor Hongjun's face looked like it could squeeze out water from bitterness.

Xihe had nurtured the Ten Golden Crows outside the Purple Firmament Palace for one thousand five hundred years, and then listened to the sermon inside the palace for another two thousand five hundred years. After four thousand years of gestation, the Golden Crows were finally about to be born.

Her uncontrollable painful groan was the sign of the birth of the Ten Golden Crows.

"Xihe, what's wrong, Xihe?"

Dijun was extremely nervous and quickly hugged Xihe tightly.

Seeing that she was about to give birth, he quickly injected a stream of pure spiritual energy into Xihe, giving her enough strength!

"Jun, I'm going to give birth, our sons, the Ten Golden Crows, are about to be born, what should we do, what should I do?"

Xihe was in a panic, occasionally glancing at Hongjun Old Ancestor's dao platform, afraid that making such a commotion would incur Hongjun Old Ancestor's blame.

When her gaze met the light of Hongjun's divine eyes, she flinched, almost fainting: "Jun, the Dao Ancestor's gaze is terrifying, it seems he is angry, should I try to hold it in and not let the Golden Crows be born!"

Buzz!

Just then, Beichen activated his Divine Tortoise Eyes, emitting a spiritual light that clashed with Hongjun's gaze, obscuring his restraining look.

At the same time, Beichen transmitted a profound sound: "Dao Ancestor Hongjun, this humble one knows you feel that Xihe giving birth in this palace defiles the Purple Cloud Palace, but when one has an urgent need, how can giving birth be postponed?"

"If you force her to hold it in and the fetus dies in the womb, the karma you create will ultimately be detrimental to you, the Dao Ancestor!"

Hearing this, Old Ancestor Hongjun gritted his teeth fiercely and could only withdraw his restraining divine gaze.

Beichen also withdrew the gaze of his Divine Tortoise Eyes, then came to Xihe's side: "My disciple Xihe, you don't need to worry. Dao Ancestor Hongjun is magnanimous and allows you to give birth in the Purple Cloud Palace. The birth of new life also brings the energy of the rising sun to the Purple Cloud Palace, so rest assured and give birth! With your master and your husband Dijun here, you can be at ease!"

"Yes, Master, thank you, Master!"

Xihe was greatly encouraged and secretly glanced at Old Ancestor Hongjun.

At this moment, she saw Old Ancestor Hongjun calmly continue his sermon, his restraining gaze long gone. Xihe breathed a sigh of relief.

Beichen frowned slightly, appearing to be in thought.

Immediately, immortal energy rippled around him, and laws surged, forming a huge barrier.

This barrier quickly took shape, like a wall, encircling Dijun and Xihe: "Dijun, you will be solely responsible for taking care of your wife's childbirth!"

"Master, your disciple obeys!"

With this immortal barrier erected, the curious gazes were blocked, and they all sighed, shifting their divine eyes away, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Hongjun Old Ancestor was preaching above, while the crowd below was distracted by Xihe's childbirth, watching the spectacle instead of concentrating on the sermon.

Hongjun wanted to maintain order but felt that the three thousand years of preaching time were limited, and the Great Dao might not be fully explained. So, he said nothing, pretended it never happened, and forced himself to continue preaching.

At this point, he was lecturing on the path to Grand Unity Golden Immortal perfection. The Great Dao had almost abandoned ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in the Purple Firmament Palace. Only the one or two dozen renowned great powers in the front rows were still listening attentively, as this was crucial for their breakthrough to Grand Unity Golden Immortal perfection!

The first stage of the path to Grand Unity Golden Immortal perfection lasted for a full hundred years. Grand Pure Lord of Morality, Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Lingbao Moral Heavenly Venerate, and Nuwa all advanced from the peak of Grand Unity to the realm of perfection, emitting a quasi-saintly aura, reaching the half-step Quasi-Saint realm.

Hongjun nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, who still needed to continue listening to the sermon to reach Grand Unity perfection.

Hong Yun, Minghe, Dijun, Taiyi, Xihe, Changxi, and others were also just a sliver away from entering Grand Unity Golden Immortal perfection.

Dijun, while taking care of Xihe giving birth to the Golden Crows, also managed to spare some attention to listen to the sermon, with a faint aura of breakthrough emanating from him.

Xihe, while giving birth, also made an effort to listen attentively. Although childbirth consumed a great deal of energy, she also showed signs of breakthrough.

As for Taiyi, the immortal light of Grand Unity perfection was constantly condensing, as if he would break through at any moment.

Meanwhile, Changxi listened to the sermon with a pained expression and a pale face, still persevering with great effort.

"Taiyi! I'm going to give birth!"

"Master, your disciple is going to give birth, your disciple is also going to give birth!"

This time, Old Ancestor Hongjun heard the commotion of Changxi giving birth and did not issue any restraining gaze. He had already given up, letting them do as they pleased.

However, he lamented inwardly, "The birth of children by these two Goddesses of Taiyin is the biggest unexpected accident of this sermon!"

Changxi's childbirth was urgent, so Beichen quickly erected a barrier to shield Taiyi and Changxi, instructing Taiyi to encourage Changxi during labor.

Changxi, always mischievous and spirited, saw Beichen put up the curtain and, thinking her voice couldn't be heard, acted coy and coquettish with Taiyi.

Her voice, however, burst through the curtain and echoed throughout the Purple Heaven Palace, causing countless cultivators to blush and cover their ears.

"Do not listen to impropriety, do not listen to impropriety!"

Changxi's cries drowned out Old Ancestor Hongjun's sermon. Unable to stop her, Hongjun could only raise his voice, his rolling immortal tones immensely powerful, to cover the sounds of childbirth.

But this also took considerable effort from Old Ancestor Hongjun.

Just as Old Ancestor Hongjun stabilized the situation, the ten Golden Crows were born.

With a hum, countless rays of scorching sunlight illuminated the entire Purple Heaven Palace. The palace became steamy, and the temperature rapidly soared. Everyone listening to the sermon shielded their eyes and wiped away beads of sweat!

Phew!

Old Ancestor Hongjun, feeling the heat, exhaled a puff of white air and quickly struck down with a surge of power: "Power of the Scorching Sun, disperse!"

Hongjun's sermons were not meant to be interrupted by outside matters, but he was ultimately broken by the birth of the ten Golden Crows from Xihe, uttering a sentence unrelated to his lecture.

"Power of the Scorching Sun, disperse? What kind of Dao is that? What does it mean?"

Jieyin and Zhunti, who were immersed in comprehending the Great Dao, opened their eyes wide, shaking their heads.
