"Everyone, if there are no further questions."
"It is time for the First Lecture at Purple Cloud Palace to come to an end."
Seeing that if he remained silent any longer, everyone would truly think he was dead!
Hong Jun immediately declared his authority in a loud voice.
This was Purple Cloud Palace!
He was the master of Purple Cloud Palace!
He was also the one who had initiated this lecture!!
"We thank the Saint for his boundless grace."
Amid the deafening proclamation, everyone finally remembered that this was not Ziwei Emperor's dojo.
It was Hong Jun's place of residence and teachings.
While traces of embarrassment flashed through most of their eyes.
The Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Taiyi, Jie Yin, and Zhun Ti regarded Di Tian as a mortal enemy.
Even though they had received his favor.
Not a shred of goodwill arose toward him.
Earlier, they had merely followed the crowd in paying respects to Di Tian because they did not want trouble.
Now that the true master of Purple Cloud Palace had also revealed his displeasure toward Di Tian.
Naturally, they would not miss the chance to win his favor.
One after another, they respectfully thanked the figure seated upon the Nine Heavens Prayer Mat for the grace of imparting the Dao.
As for the other Innate Sacred, they did not wish to offend either side.
Ran Deng had set the example earlier, and now the Three Pure Ones and the others had stepped forward.
Naturally, they drifted with the wind.
Together, they thanked Hong Jun for the grace of imparting the Dao.
"Fellow Daoist, I truly apologize."
Seeing that control over the situation in the hall.
Had finally returned to his hands.
The fury in Hong Jun's heart eased slightly.
But how could Di Tian let him off so easily?
He immediately assumed a remorseful expression and "sincerely" apologized.
"This is clearly your dojo, yet I acted like the host and stole the Sage Ancestor's reputation of teaching all living beings."
"I am truly ashamed beyond measure."
As he spoke, he took out the Heart Piercing Lock he had just put away from his Mustard Seed Space and handed it before Hong Jun.
"This treasure contains forty-three Innate Restrictions. It ranks among Top Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures and is an exceptionally fine item."
"Now, I shall return it to its rightful owner."
"I hope Fellow Daoist can forgive my earlier offense."
Di Tian's move was truly Killing and Punishing the Heart.
If Hong Jun refused to accept it.
Then, in the eyes of all beings, he would become a petty, fickle hypocrite.
He had said Di Tian could do as he pleased.
Yet in the end, because Di Tian had taught so well, he made things difficult for him in every possible way and looked down upon him.
Was someone like that still worthy of following and worshipping?
Were they truly not afraid that he would drain them dry for profit, or that a careless remark.
Would earn them retaliation, or even lead to their reckoning and death?
But if Hong Jun accepted it.
It would be the same as using his own treasure.
To tell himself not to be angry.
Was that not nothing but self-consolation?!
Di Tian did not need to pay anything, yet he gained the title of Grandmaster of Sages!
The goodwill of countless Innate Sacred!
He had publicized the prestige of himself and Star Court!
Meanwhile, Hong Jun had labored and plotted for tens of thousands of years.
Yet all he received was self-consolation and a belly full of rage!
Comparing the two.
How could he not be furious!
However, compared to the consequences of the former.
The latter only left him feeling incomparably stifled inside.
For the sake of his future plans, Hong Jun could only swallow his broken teeth.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too polite."
"It is merely a discussion of the Dao. How could anyone be stealing another's reputation?"
Forcing out a somewhat amicable smile, Hong Jun declined Di Tian's "kindness."
Then, with deep eyes, he looked toward.
The many Innate Sacred below.
"The First Lecture at Purple Cloud Palace has ended. The next lecture will be held after one Yuanhui."
"I hope you will carefully comprehend what you have gained this time."
"When the next lecture begins, I shall expound upon the Path of Quasi-Saint, the insights and understanding of the final step before Proving the Dao of Hunyuan."
After saying that, he no longer had the slightest desire to bid Di Tian farewell.
He directly transformed into countless pale golden butterflies and dissolved into the endless void.
Seeing that Hong Jun had already slipped away.
The Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Taiyi, Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, and those Innate Sacred who, due to the changing situation, did not wish to have too much contact with Star Court for the time being.
And intended to observe Di Tian and Hong Jun before making their decision, all rose and headed outside.
The remaining Innate Sacred bade Di Tian farewell before turning to leave together.
"Big Brother, now that the First Lecture at Purple Cloud Palace has ended."
"Why not come with us to Pan Gu Temple?"
"Would you like to behold Father God's glory?"
As Purple Cloud Palace gradually emptied of Innate Sacred.
Di Jiang seized the opportunity and hurried forward to ask Di Tian whether he wished to visit Pan Gu Temple.
"Star Court happens to have no pressing matters to handle lately."
"Let us go to Pan Gu Temple together and behold Father God's former divine might and peerless bearing."
Naturally, Wang Shu and the others had no objection to such a matter.
"Thank you, Big Brother, for honoring us with your presence."
With delight in his eyes, Di Jiang bowed in response.
He immediately called over Zhu Rong and the others, who surrounded Di Tian's group as they stepped outside Purple Cloud Palace and slowly vanished into the boundless chaos.
"Pan Gu's direct descendants have gathered together."
"The Witch Race and Star Court now account for nearly more than half of the strongest combat power beneath Heaven and Earth."
"If this continues, the Primordial World will surely become Di Tian's domain alone!"
"By then, the hope of controlling the Earth Path and Humanity Path will be exceedingly slim..."
As the gates of Purple Cloud Palace closed, Hong Jun's figure reappeared atop the Nine Heavens Prayer Mat.
Looking in the direction where Di Tian and the others had disappeared, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Heaven and Earth stretched endlessly, while time flowed on.
Because Di Jiang and the others accompanied him.
Di Tian did not bring out the Purple Gold Emperor's Carriage.
The group roamed through the great void, traveled across chaos, and comprehended the Dao of Heaven and Earth. More than three thousand years passed in total.
Before they returned from Beyond the Chaos Heavens to the Buzhou Mountain Range.
Just as they were heading toward Pan Gu Temple.
Endless dark clouds covered the sky, thunder rumbled throughout the heavens, seven-colored divine radiance shot into the firmament, boundless creation illuminated Time and Space, countless Golden Lotuses bloomed for ten thousand zhang, and the sound of Dao resonances spread in every direction!
All of Di Tian's gazes were drawn toward a basin near the eastern side of the Buzhou Mountain Range!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty Star Emperor. Upon first arriving at Buzhou Mountain, you have already drawn down such blessings. This proves you are favored by destiny and blessed by Great God Pan Gu!"
As everyone looked toward the phenomenon.
Ran Deng merely glanced at it before hurriedly bowing to congratulate Di Tian.
"Damn it, this brat really knows how to kiss ass!"
Upon hearing those words, the Innate Star Gods all glanced sideways, unable to help raising their guard.
This person was clearly a shameless flatterer who would do anything to climb higher.
They would be better off offending him less and staying away from him.
If he ever flattered Di Tian in a way that disgusted him.
Those too close to him might even be implicated!
"Your Majesty Star Emperor, your fortune reaches the heavens!"
"I shall go and retrieve the treasure for you at once."
With that, the Luo Hou Star God prepared to turn around and head over, intending to put on a good performance.
As one of Star Court's elder members.
If he allowed a brat who had not even joined them to surpass him!
How would they still have the face to lead the other Innate Star Gods?!
"There is no need."
"Let us go and investigate together. Let us see what sort of treasure could create such a magnificent phenomenon."
There were basically only a few peerless treasures nurtured on Buzhou Mountain.
Last time had indeed been somewhat unexpected.
But this time, he dared wager half his fortune.
The place shrouded in endless divine wonders had to be where the Innate Seven Treasure Gourd Vine was located!
"Di Jiang, we need to go to the place covered by those divine wonders and see what kind of supreme treasure lies within."
"Will you come with us, or return to Pan Gu Temple first?"
Since they had already established themselves as brothers.
Naturally, he had to ask for their opinion before taking action.
Before you continue
