Killing and Punishing the Heart! Hong Jun's Fury! Setting Off for Pan Gu Temple!

"Everyone, if there are no further doubts."

"Then the First Lecture at Purple Cloud Palace may now come to an end."

Seeing that if he remained silent any longer, everyone would truly think he was dead!

Hong Jun immediately proclaimed his authority in a loud voice.

This was Purple Cloud Palace!

He was the master of Purple Cloud Palace!

And the one who had initiated this lecture!!

"We thank the Saint for his boundless grace."

Amid the deafening declaration, everyone finally remembered that this was not Ziwei Emperor's Dao field.

It was Hong Jun's place of residence and lecturing.

Though a trace 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 after receiving his favor.

Not a shred of goodwill rose toward him.

Earlier, they had merely not wanted to cause trouble, so they had followed the crowd in paying respects to Di Tian.

Now that the true master of Purple Cloud Palace had also revealed his dissatisfaction with Di Tian.

Naturally, they would not miss this chance to win his favor.

One after another, they respectfully kowtowed toward the figure seated upon the Nine Heavens Prayer Mat, thanking him for the grace of transmitting the Dao.

As for the other Innate Sacred, they did not wish to offend either side.

Ran Deng had set an example earlier, and now the Three Pure Ones and the others had stepped forward to lead the charge.

Naturally, they drifted with the wind.

They collectively thanked Hong Jun for the grace of his teachings.

"Fellow Daoist, I am truly sorry."

Seeing that control of the situation in the hall.

Had finally returned to his hands.

The fury in Hong Jun's heart subsided slightly.

However, how could Di Tian let him off so easily?

He immediately put on a remorseful expression and "sincerely" apologized to him.

"This is clearly your Dao field, yet I stole the host's role and took the title of Sage Ancestor who teaches all beings."

"I am truly ashamed beyond measure."

As he spoke, he took out the Heart Piercing Lock he had put away earlier from his Mustard Seed Space and held it out before Hong Jun.

"This treasure contains forty-three Innate Restrictions. It ranks among Top Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures and can be considered quite exceptional."

"Now, I return it to its rightful owner."

"I only 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, capricious villain.

He had said Di Tian could do as he pleased.

Yet in the end, because Di Tian had lectured so well, he made every effort to find fault with and disdain him.

Was someone like that still worth following or worshipping?

Were they not afraid that their benefits would be squeezed dry, or that a careless remark.

Would earn them retaliation, or even bring about a reckoning and death?

But if Hong Jun accepted it.

It would be equivalent to using his own treasure.

To tell himself not to be angry.

Was that not nothing but self-consolation?!

Di Tian had paid nothing, yet he gained the title of Grandmaster of Sages!

The favor of countless Innate Sacred!

And had publicized the prestige of himself and Star Court!

Meanwhile, Hong Jun had painstakingly plotted for tens of thousands of years.

Yet all he gained was self-consolation and a bellyful of anger!

Comparing the two.

How could he not be furious!

However, compared to the consequences of the former.

The latter merely left him feeling incomparably stifled.

For the sake of his future plans, Hong Jun could only swallow his broken teeth along with his blood.

"You are too courteous, Fellow Daoist."

"It was merely a discussion of the Dao. How could anyone be stealing another's credit?"

Forcing out a faintly amiable smile, he declined Di Tian's "kindness."

Hong Jun then cast a deep gaze toward.

The many Innate Sacred below.

"The First Lecture at Purple Cloud Palace has ended. The next lecture will be one Yuanhui from now."

"I hope you will carefully comprehend what you have gained this time."

"When the next lecture begins, I will expound upon the Path of Quasi-Saint, as well as insights and experiences regarding the final step before Proving the Dao of Hunyuan."

Having said this, 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, as well as those Innate Sacred who, due to the changing circumstances, did not wish to have too much contact with Star Court for now.

And intended to observe Di Tian and Hong Jun's situation before making a decision, all rose and headed outside.

The remaining Innate Sacred, meanwhile, only turned to leave together after bidding Di Tian farewell.

"Big Brother, now that the First Lecture at Purple Cloud Palace has ended."

"Why don't we go to Pan Gu Temple together?"

"To pay homage to Father God's glory. What do you think?"

As the Innate Sacred within Purple Cloud Palace gradually thinned out.

Di Jiang seized the opportunity and hurried forward to ask Di Tian whether he wished to visit Pan Gu Temple.

"Star Court has no pressing matters to handle at present."

"Then let us go to Pan Gu Temple together and pay homage to Father God's past divine might and peerless bearing."

Wang Shu and the others naturally had no objections to such a matter.

"Thank you for honoring us with your presence, Big Brother."

As Di Jiang bowed with delight in his eyes.

He immediately called over Zhu Rong and the others, escorting Di Tian's group out of Purple Cloud Palace as they slowly vanished into the boundless Chaos.

"Pan Gu's direct descendants have gathered together."

"The Witch Race and Star Court together possess nearly more than half of the world's strongest combat power."

"If this continues, the Primordial World will surely become Di Tian's personal domain!"

"When that time comes, 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 glint suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The world endured, and time flowed on.

Since Di Jiang and the others were accompanying him.

Di Tian did not bring out the Purple Gold Emperor's Carriage.

The group traveled through the great void, traversed Chaos, and comprehended the Dao of Heaven and Earth for more than three thousand years.

Before finally returning from Beyond the Chaos Heavens to the Buzhou Mountain Range.

Just as they proceeded toward Pan Gu Temple.

Endless dark clouds blotted out the sky, rolling thunder resounded through the heavens, seven-colored divine radiance shot into the firmament, immeasurable creation reflected through Time and Space, golden lotuses bloomed for tens of thousands of feet, and the sound of Dao resonances spread in every direction!

Every gaze among Di Tian's group was immediately 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 is truly proof that you are favored by fate and blessed by Great God Pan Gu!"

While everyone was looking toward the phenomenon.

Ran Deng merely gave it a brief glance before hurriedly bowing to congratulate Di Tian.

Damn it, this brat sure knows how to flatter people!

Upon hearing this, all the Innate Star Gods cast sidelong glances and could not help becoming somewhat wary.

This man was clearly a shameless bootlicker, someone who would stop at nothing to climb higher.

They should offend him less and keep their distance in the future.

If one day his flattery happened to strike Di Tian the wrong way.

Their close relationship with him might even drag them down as well!

"Your Majesty Star Emperor, your fortune reaches the heavens!"

"I will go fetch the treasure for you at once."

As he spoke, Luo Hou Star God prepared to turn around and head over, eager to distinguish himself.

As an elder-level figure of Star Court.

If they were outdone by some brat who had not even joined them yet!

How could they still have the face to command the other Innate Star Gods!!

"No need."

"Let us investigate together and see what sort of treasure could cause such a grand phenomenon."

In truth, there were only a few peerless treasures nurtured upon Buzhou Mountain.

The 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 shrouded by these wonders and see what sort of supreme treasure lies within."

"Will you come with us, or return to Pan Gu Temple first?"

Since he had already established their identities as brothers.

Naturally, he had to ask for their opinion before acting.
