Even This Daoist Cannot Learn It

As Old Ancestor Hongjun asked this, he seemed to understand something and glanced in the direction outside the Purple Heaven Palace.

At this moment, the sealing laws of the Purple Firmament Palace had been lifted. Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Old Ancestor Kunpeng's heart stirred.

"If I, this Daoist, do not leave the Purple Heaven Palace, I can obtain the position of a registered disciple of a Saint, which also subtly implies a Saint Position!"

Old Ancestor Kunpeng felt a little uneasy, waiting for movement from the Purple Heaven Palace, hoping Old Ancestor Hongjun would summon him in.

At this moment, Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate showed a slight look of guilt on his face: "Reporting to Master, that Old Ancestor Kunpeng has depraved morals. He did not welcome our fellow disciples Jieyin and Zhunti who traveled from afar. Fellow disciple Hong Yun advised him to yield his seat, but he refused. This disciple spoke and drove him out!"

"That Old Ancestor Kunpeng severed his master-disciple fate with you. Master, you cannot possibly accept a disciple with improper conduct, right?"

Having said this, the guilt on Primordial Lord of Heaven's face had long since vanished. Instead, he appeared to be arguing his case logically and reasonably.

"Alas, so be it. Since he was driven out, then let him be driven out. With poor morals, he truly cannot enter my sect!"

Outside the door, Old Ancestor Kunpeng was filled with intense killing intent. He clenched his fists fiercely, as if the rage within this punch could shatter heaven and earth: "It's all that Old Ancestor Hongyun! If he hadn't tried to be a good person, how would I, Kunpeng, have been inexplicably angered?"

"I, this Daoist Old Ancestor Kunpeng, make a Heavenly Dao oath today that I will not rest until I am in the same sky as Old Ancestor Hongyun! In the future, I will tear him to pieces, destroy his physical body, and extinguish his primordial spirit to quell the hatred in my heart!"

Crack!

As soon as this Heavenly Dao oath was uttered, a divine thunderclap resounded within the Purple Firmament Palace, which was the Heavenly Dao's response to Old Ancestor Kunpeng.

This great enmity was now thoroughly sown, and Kunpeng had forged a deadly feud with Hong Yun.

"Hmm?" Hongjun frowned slightly, his gaze looking out. In an instant, having merged with the Heavenly Dao, he also learned of Kunpeng's oath.

But he remained unfazed, pretending not to know.

Although he had accepted Hong Yun as a disciple, Hong Yun was merely a registered disciple, and he did not take it to heart.

Kunpeng had made this grand oath, and in the future, he would kill Hong Yun, but Hongjun had no intention of intervening. He only decided to let nature take its course!

Inside the Purple Heaven Palace, Old Ancestor Hongyun was still completely unaware, basking in his own glory for being accepted as a disciple by the Dao Ancestor.

Beichen saw this and sighed inwardly, "This good old man of Honghuang is also a foolish old man!"

The divine thunderclap just now had prompted Beichen to activate the Universe Great Dao Mystic Turtle Shell to deduce heavenly secrets. He had also calculated that Old Ancestor Kunpeng had made an oath. He was contemplating how to resolve the enmity between Kunpeng and Hong Yun.

"This matter is best delayed. If it can be postponed until I, Beichen, attain the Saint Position, it will be easier to resolve!"

Beichen pondered inwardly. Resolving the grievances between these two did not seem difficult.

After all, based on his understanding of Honghuang, Old Ancestor Kunpeng had attacked Hong Yun only after Old Ancestor Hongjun's third sermon, when he distributed Saint Positions and treasures at Treasure Distribution Cliff. This had greatly angered Kunpeng, who then proceeded to destroy Hong Yun's physical body and extinguish his primordial spirit.

It was still a long way from the third sermon.

"This matter will be put aside for now!" Beichen thought to himself.

Suddenly, Hongjun's heart stirred, as if he had thought of something. His gaze swept over Sanqing and Nuwa.

Then, in his palm, four purplish-gold pills appeared.

These pills exuded surging spiritual energy, as if containing infinite Dao power and laws, making them extraordinary.

"My four direct disciples, as a reward for listening attentively to my teachings, I grant each of you a Quasi-Saint Pill!" Hongjun flicked his hand, and the Quasi-Saint Pills fell into the hands of the four. "This Quasi-Saint Pill can help you temporarily enter the Quasi-Saint realm, whether it be early or middle stage, depending on your cultivation and different realms."

"The duration for this Quasi-Saint Pill to allow you to enter the Quasi-Saint level is about a month. Taking this pill will not only help you experience the mysteries of the Quasi-Saint realm but also help you resist powerful enemies. I call this the Saint Refining Golden Pill, also known as the Life-Saving Golden Pill!"

"Many thanks, Master!"

Currently, Sanqing and Nuwa were all at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, just a sliver away from understanding the mysteries of the Quasi-Saint realm before stepping into it.

The Quasi-Saint Pills awarded by Old Ancestor Hongjun were, in essence, granting them the means to cross into the Quasi-Saint realm. As long as they consumed these pills and temporarily became Quasi-Saints, they would comprehend the mysteries within the pills and thus step into the Quasi-Saint realm!

"Heh heh, it's great to be a direct disciple of a Saint. You get Quasi-Saint status for free!"

Beside them, Zhen Yuanzi seemed a little envious.

Beichen secretly glanced at Zhen Yuanzi and detected a hint of mockery.

At the same time, Beichen himself scoffed inwardly. Such free handouts would severely limit their future achievements in the Great Saint position, rank, and strength.

Although Sanqing were renowned throughout Honghuang, they would all eventually become Saints through the "merit" path, which was considered the lowest tier of Saintly attainment. This was likely related to Hongjun's "free handouts."

"This will reinforce the notion of unearned gains and make their Dao hearts less resilient!"

Beichen scoffed softly.

"Master, Master, could you also grant us two Quasi-Saint Pills?"

Just as Old Ancestor Hongjun was about to say something else, he was suddenly interrupted by Jieyin and Zhunti.

Upon seeing this, Sanqing and the others displayed the same shameless demeanor as before, their faces filled with disdain.

Even the broad-minded Nuwa showed a hint of contempt.

These two had thick skin, weeping and wailing before Hongjun, lamenting the suffering of the Western lands and their scarce cultivation resources, among other things.

They also stirred up trouble by provoking Hongjun, flaunting their status as inner disciples.

Their words were utterly shameless.

Finally, they added, "Master, we have also listened attentively these past three thousand years! We have been a hundred times more diligent than our four senior brothers and sisters!"

Ultimately, under their persistent pestering, Hongjun, who had not intended to give them Quasi-Saint Pills, reluctantly produced two: "Jieyin, Zhunti, my disciples, I pity your hardships. I grant each of you one Quasi-Saint Pill!"

"But you two must understand that this Quasi-Saint Pill is not something common. The refining of this pill by this Master was extremely arduous!"

"You two must make good use of this, don't waste it!"

Jieyin and Zhunti took the pills, overjoyed, and put on the smug look of petty victors once more.

Seeing their posture, appearance, and expressions, Old Ancestor Hongjun felt a wave of awkwardness.

"This Western Duo is truly shameless!"

Zhen Yuanzi could only offer a wry smile.

"In any case, I, Hong Yun, couldn't bring myself to do something like this." Hong Yun put on a good-natured facade, looking sheepish. "Just hearing Senior Brother Zhunti wailing loudly, I, this humble Taoist, couldn't possibly learn that!"

"Haha, to be honest, I can't learn it either!"

Beichen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

These people, whether they were asking for the pills or watching those who asked, all seemed very serious. Only Beichen treated it as a joke, finding it utterly amusing.

He couldn't help but mutter inwardly, "In this Primordial World, how can there be shameless scoundrels like the Western Duo? Truly, the world is vast and full of wonders!"

Hong Yun didn't say much beside him. He knew he was merely a registered disciple under Hongjun, with little influence and a low voice. He certainly wouldn't dare to ask for Quasi-Saint pills like Jieyin and Zhunti, so he could only enter silent mode.

At this moment, Hongjun continued, "My disciples, when I first began preaching the Tao, was also when the Primordial Witch-Demon Tribulation began. The tribulation is incredibly brutal. You must guard your palace gates closely and cultivate in peace, lest you fall into the killing vortex!"

"Otherwise, you may perish and be irrecoverable for all eternity!"
