Di Tian: Preaching? You're Not Worthy! I Am the True Grandmaster of Sages!

"What exactly is Hong Jun plotting?"

"Clearly, allowing Di Jun and Kun Peng to become Saints"

"would be the most advantageous choice for the current situation."

"Why give seats to the two from the Western Region instead?"

"Could they be smokescreens he released?"

"Or does he truly owe the Western Region such immense karma"

"that only the positions of two Heavenly Dao Sages can repay it in full?"

As Di Tian watched Hong Jun's baffling actions,

it was the first time he found himself completely unable to make sense of things.

He could not figure out what the other man was trying to do.

"I was favored by the Primordial World and thus fortunately ascended to the Grand Luo of Hunyuan."

"On the day I attained the Dao, I sensed that the Primordial Wilderness's cultivation inheritances were incomplete and that all living beings beneath heaven had confused paths ahead."

"Thus, within Purple Cloud Palace, I shall impart the Myriad Spirits my experience in cultivation and the methods of ascending to the Grand Luo of Hunyuan."

"This preaching shall be divided into three sessions."

"The first shall cover the Great Luo Golden Immortal Path, the second shall explain the Path of Quasi-Saint, and the third shall unravel the path of Saints."

"I hope you will understand and listen."

"Do not make noise."

As Hong Jun's words fell, the Innate Sacred beings all bowed to thank him for his immense grace in imparting the Dao.

"The Great Luo Path lies in the Primordial Spirit."

"Refine the Three Flowers on the Head and cultivate the Five Chest Qi; achieve the manifestation of Three Flowers Gathering Atop the Head and Five Qi Returning to Origin."

"Great Luo is..."

As the preaching began, Dao resonance manifested on its own!

Within Purple Cloud Palace, ten thousand zhang of rosy light blanketed Time and Space. Earth Springing Golden Lotus surrounded all beings, Great Dao Laws fluttered and manifested, and boundless spiritual qi descended like rain!

The instant countless phenomena appeared and descended,

the many Innate Sacred beings gradually sank into them as well.

Some were utterly engrossed.

Some lowered their heads in contemplation.

Some were overwhelmed by both grief and joy.

Some even fell into deep sleep!

"Worthy of being someone capable of becoming the Dao Ancestor."

"He truly has some skill."

As Di Tian listened to the Dao Hong Jun expounded, a trace of approval rose in his eyes.

But it was merely recognition of the man's ability.

When the time came to act, he would not show the slightest mercy!

The world was vast, and time flew like a shuttle.

Five thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

As Hong Jun finished his explanation of the Great Luo Path, the countless phenomena within Purple Cloud Palace gradually returned to calm.

The many Innate Sacred beings slowly emerged from their enlightenment, gazing with reverence, gratitude, and worship at the composed figure seated upon the Nine Heavens Prayer Mat.

"The Great Luo Path has been fully explained."

"Do you have any questions?"

All those who could arrive at Purple Cloud Palace were Innate Sacred beings in the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

Though differences in the world's inheritances

might have led to slight distinctions in their understanding of the Great Luo Path and their knowledge of the cultivation process,

they had little trouble comprehending the Great Luo Path Hong Jun had explained.

However, just as he saw that no one had any questions and prepared to conclude the first preaching session,

Di Tian suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"Daoist, I have an unwelcome request."

"May I overstep and say a few words?"

You know it's an unwelcome request, yet you still ask?

As Hong Jun listened to Di Tian's request, displeasure slowly rose in his heart, but he did not refuse him.

"The Dao is boundless, and heaven and earth are limitless."

"If you find anything improper in what I have said, or believe there is something that should be supplemented, Daoist, feel free to speak."

Yet what he had not expected

was that he had merely been polite,

but Di Tian took it seriously!

"Thank you for your support, Daoist."

"I do indeed have some differing views on the Great Luo Path you just explained."

"I hope you can listen calmly."

"Do not get angry."

After saying this, Di Tian directly faced the many Innate Sacred beings. The Merit Golden Wheel manifested behind him, Merit Auspicious Cloud floated beneath him, the Spiritual Text Scroll hovered in his palm, and boundless creation covered heaven and earth!

"When first stepping onto the Great Luo Path, one should focus on the Five Chest Qi."

"The level one reaches differs according to the various Five Elements Source used to fill them."

"If one wishes for the flowers atop one's head to bloom into twelve grades..."

As Di Tian spoke at an unhurried pace,

Morning Sun Purple Qi surged across ten thousand miles, boundless golden light illuminated heaven and earth, endless Dao resonance enveloped all living beings, and Mysterious Dharma Sound lingered for three days!

The phenomena he produced were vastly grander and more profound than the blessings Hong Jun had displayed during his preaching.

After merely a few breaths of listening,

the Innate Sacred beings below had already entered enlightenment.

It was as though they were swimming through an ocean of Laws.

In just over a thousand years, more than a hundred people broke through. The cultivation baseline of the many Innate Sacred beings

rose from the Great Luo Middle Stage to the Great Luo Later Stage!

He's crashing my event! Crashing my event!

In my territory! At my exclusive session! He's crashing my event!!

As he roared inwardly, Hong Jun wished he could immediately bring out the Pan Gu Banner, stab Di Tian through the kidneys, and finish him once and for all!

I was just being polite.

Not only did you refuse to stop while you were ahead, you even pushed your luck and started preaching!

If you preached better than me, that would be one thing.

If you lacked the ability, then you would deserve to die!

But not only are you not better than me, you merely made a few slight alterations to the Dao I explained before using it to preach!

And the results you displayed

are even better than mine!

Isn't this taking a mile when given an inch? You've gone too far!!

That old bastard should be furious enough to die by now, right?

In truth, the Great Luo Path Hong Jun had explained was already detailed enough.

The Great Luo Path Di Tian explained this time merely added a little of his own understanding on top of it.

There was not much fundamental change.

As for why the results surpassed the original version?

Naturally, it was because he was willing to spend heavily!

He had already openly brought out three treasures that boosted comprehension.

The Merit Golden Wheel, Merit Auspicious Cloud, and Spiritual Text Scroll!

Secretly, he had also used the Chaos Pearl's concealment to blend the Dao resonance contained within the Jade Tablet of Creation Fragment

into the phenomena, allowing it to envelop the many Innate Sacred beings.

The enhancement to comprehension offered by these four treasures was all first-rate.

If the Innate Sacred beings below still failed to comprehend even a trace of profundity in such an environment,

then they might as well go home and wait to die.

There would be no need to dream of advancing another step.

"These are my views on the Great Luo Path."

"If any of you have anything you do not understand, or have entirely new insights, feel free to speak freely."

"As long as I can resolve your doubts, I will certainly not hold anything back."

As Di Tian's words fell, Ran Deng was the first to rise. With the posture of one paying respects to a sage and teacher, he bowed excitedly and replied.

"Thank you, Emperor... ah, no, I should say thank you, Grandmaster of Sages, for the grace of imparting the Dao!"

"If not for your explanation of the Great Luo Path, we likely would never have seen where the path ahead lay!"

"Please accept our bow!"

As he spoke, Ran Deng was the first to bow in gratitude.

Led by him, the remaining Innate Sacred beings also rose one after another. As they bowed in thanks, they shouted loudly.

"Thank you, Grandmaster of Sages, for the grace of imparting the Dao and teaching us the Dharma!"

"We were merely discussing the Dao with one another."

As Di Tian watched the many Innate Sacred beings shout in unison and bow respectfully, a trace of amusement surged in his eyes.

With a broad grin, he waved his hand and helped everyone to their feet.

Had they not known this was Purple Cloud Palace,

and that it was actually Purple Cloud Palace's master, Hong Jun, who had summoned the many Innate Sacred beings here,

they would likely have assumed from this scene alone that Di Tian was the Dao Ancestor.

And that Hong Jun, seated behind him, was merely an attendant or a young acolyte...
