Hongjun: It's all messed up, completely messed up!

On the other side.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, countless cultivators appeared in the vicinity.

They all had one goal.

That was the Lei Jun Palace in the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

These cultivators.

Were of varying levels.

The lowest were even below the Golden Immortal realm!

Of course.

Those below the Golden Immortal realm were actually repelled by the Nine Heavens Gale before they could even reach the Thirty-Three Heavens.

But even Golden Immortals.

Could only barely approach the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Let alone.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens!

Even Primordial Unity Golden Immortals could not stay for long.

Only Da Luo.

Could be said to roam the Heaven Beyond Heaven and seek the location of Lei Jun Palace.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, countless years went by.

When a sensation arose in the hearts of Taiqing and Yuanshi.

A magnificent Heavenly Palace.

Came into view.

On the palace hung a plaque inscribed with two large characters.

Lei Jun!

After countless years, Taiqing and Yuanshi had finally reached Lei Jun Palace.

The Heaven Beyond Heaven bordered Chaos.

It was the boundary between the Primordial Wilderness and Chaos.

Many dangers found in Chaos could be encountered here.

Such as Chaos Storms, Chaotic Thunder, and so on.

Thus.

Ordinary cultivators simply could not stay here for long.

They did not even need to wait for those calamities to arrive; the Chaotic Qi alone was enough to make it difficult for cultivators below Da Luo to withstand.

If they stayed too long, they would likely be assimilated by Chaos.

But these dangers.

For Taiqing and Yuanshi.

Were nothing much.

First, their cultivation was high enough.

They possessed late-stage Da Luo cultivation.

Second.

Taiqing had in his possession a Postnatal Supreme Treasure.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Linglong Pagoda.

By deploying this pagoda.

Within the same realm, one was inherently invincible.

It was a top-tier defensive Supreme Treasure of the Primordial Wilderness.

Therefore.

Although Chaos was perilous, the two still found the location of Lei Jun Palace relatively easily.

"So this is Lei Jun Palace?"

"Truly magnificent!"

"As expected of a Sage's Dojo!"

Yuanshi's tone was filled with awe.

His gaze at Lei Jun Palace held nothing but admiration, pure admiration.

At this moment.

Taiqing also spoke.

His tone was the same.

Even...

even more full of praise.

He, who was usually quite composed, could no longer remain calm before the Lei Jun Palace.

"Yes indeed!"

"Only a dojo like this is worthy of a Sage's presence!"

"Second Brother!"

"It seems we have come to the right place!"

"Just looking at this Heavenly Palace, I can tell there must be opportunities within! No—I don't even need to enter; just the two characters 'Lei Jun' have already granted me some insight! If I ponder them deeply, perhaps it will be a stroke of fortune!"

Taiqing exclaimed.

Before coming here, he had imagined that a Sage's dojo would be extraordinary.

But after truly seeing the Lei Jun Palace.

He was still taken aback.

Because the entire Lei Jun Palace was filled with Daoist Rhyme.

Just by approaching.

His cultivation had already improved.

As for the Daoist Script on the Plaque Inscription, there was no need to mention it—it seemed to contain endless mysteries.

No matter how one tried to comprehend it.

One could only grasp a fraction of its surface.

Yet even that fraction could bring great gains.

One could hardly resist.

the urge to sit at the entrance and meditate for a while!

Of course.

The two of them only thought about it; they did not actually intend to do so.

After all.

If one spoke of true opportunities, surely the inside would be even better!

Taiqing and Yuanshi exchanged a glance.

After nodding lightly.

The two walked toward the interior of the Lei Jun Palace.

At this moment.

The great doors of the Lei Jun Palace were wide open.

But one could not see the true situation inside from outside, as it was blocked by a surge of Profound Qi.

Holding onto the belief that the opportunities inside were greater.

The two stepped into the Lei Jun Palace.

It must be said.

The Lei Jun Palace was magnificent on the outside, but even more magnificent inside.

Every brick and stone.

Each formed its own world.

But...

Why did the opportunities and insights that could be sensed seem to have diminished?

Taiqing and Yuanshi furrowed their brows.

Somewhat bewildered.

What was going on?

Were the opportunities inside even inferior to the two characters on the Plaque Inscription?

Those two words, "Lei Jun," were truly miraculous.

It seemed one could comprehend anything from them.

They had originally thought.

that the opportunities inside would be greater.

Unexpectedly, after entering, it was not as tall as imagined—in fact, it was even less so.

For a moment.

Taiqing and Yuanshi were somewhat bewildered.

Because if that were the case.

Wouldn't the two of them have to...

Turn back?

Just as they were thinking.

From deeper within Lei Jun Palace, two child attendants emerged.

One male, one female.

Along with them came a voice.

"You must be the Three Purities, fellow Daoists? I am Haotian, and together with Yaochi, we are the boy and girl attendants enlightened by the Master. The Master has already prepared seats in the Preaching Hall. Please follow..."

Suddenly.

The voice cut off abruptly.

Haotian paused, unable to finish what he was saying.

His expression was utterly stunned.

Frowning, he asked.

"You... are not the Three Purities?"

Hearing this.

Yuanshi immediately grew displeased, unleashing his aura.

He replied.

"We are indeed the Three Purities. What do you mean by that, fellow Daoists?"

Haotian showed no fear of the aura.

Though he only had the cultivation of early Da Luo, within Lei Jun Palace, even a peak Quasi-Saint could do nothing to him.

Instead, he pressed on.

"If you are the Three Purities, why are there only two?"

At these words.

Yuanshi's aura faltered, and his expression turned awkward.

Indeed.

The Three Purities should be three.

Yet only two had appeared here—what was that supposed to mean?

No wonder others would question it.

At this moment.

Not only Yuanshi, but even Taiqing.

His expression was also less than pleasant.

Of course.

That was mainly because he thought of another matter.

He quickly asked.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist—is the opportunity to hear the Dao only obtainable if the Three Purities are all gathered?"

As he spoke.

Taiqing unreservedly displayed his fortune and source of blessing.

To prove his identity as one of the Three Purities.

It was simple.

No divination was needed; fortune was the best proof.

As an Innate Deity born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit.

He inherently occupied more of the Primordial Wilderness's fortune than other Cultivators.

At this point.

Yuanshi said nothing more, and like Taiqing, he also displayed his fortune.

But clearly.

He was equally concerned about this question.

Furthermore.

There was still some nervousness and displeasure.

Why did Tongtian have to go looking for that elusive opportunity? Now look what happened—he might have caused both of his Elder Brothers to miss the sermon!

"There's no real impact, though."

"It's just..."

"How could the Three Purities only be two?"

Seeing the flow of fortune, Haotian couldn't help but grow more puzzled.

Then, recalling

Hongjun's instructions, he became even more confused.

Hongjun had told him to join Yaochi in receiving the cultivators and guiding them to their seats in the Preaching Hall.

He had also informed him of each cultivator's arrival time.

Take now, for instance.

Because he knew the Three Purities would arrive at this moment, he had appeared.

But unexpectedly, the scene before him was completely different from what he had imagined.

Just then, Yaochi spoke up.

"Haotian, the Master only told us to guide the Three Purities—He didn't specify how many there are. Since they are here, let them pass!"

"There are still fellow Daoists coming after them!"

Hearing this, Haotian let out a soft sigh, his unanswered questions lingering.

With no other choice, he led Taiqing and Yuanshi toward the Preaching Hall.

Even as he walked, he couldn't help muttering to himself.

Three Purities...

There should be three!

In truth, it wasn't just Haotian.

Even Hongjun

was somewhat taken aback at this moment.

He quickly began to calculate, and even

summoned the Creation Jade Plate, hoping to uncover the reason.

Having only recently emerged from seclusion, he was unaware that Tongtian had not come.

No matter how he divined, he could not find where Tongtian was, nor why he hadn't arrived.

Logically speaking, with his current cultivation, there was nothing in the Primordial Wilderness he couldn't uncover if he wished to know.

Even before this event occurred, his Primordial Spirit should have sensed it.

But up until now, if Taiqing and Yuanshi hadn't already shown up, he would still be in the dark.

For a moment, Hongjun couldn't make sense of it.

How could this be?

Was he not a Sage?

Could there be things in the Primordial Wilderness that even a Sage could not understand?

At this moment.

Hongjun's brow furrowed deeply.

He had none of the calm expected of a Sage.

The key point was.

Teaching all beings was a decree issued by the Heavenly Dao Will.

It was also his mission.

And a crucial part of it was to teach the Three Purities.

But now.

Only two of the Three Purities had arrived here!

"Very well!"

"If the Three Purities are incomplete, perhaps it is related to some unseen shift in fate. I cannot intervene."

"But as long as the other cultivators can all gather, there will be no major impact."

As for the other cultivators.

Whether they could all gather...

Hongjun instinctively chose to believe they would.

But then.

He became uncertain.

If even the Three Purities could be missing.

Could the other cultivators really be complete?

Not necessarily.

Filled with doubt and unease, Hongjun immediately began to calculate again.

He wanted to see which cultivators had arrived at the Heaven Beyond Heaven at this moment.

And then...

His eyes widened, and he completely lost his composure.

"Hm?"

"Nüwa and Fuxi are both absent? Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi haven't come either?"

"This..."

At this moment.

Hongjun was dumbfounded. How could he teach like this?

Everything was in chaos!

Only now.

After counting on his fingers, did Hongjun realize that everything was in chaos.

Not only had Tongtian not come.

Nüwa and Fuxi had not come either!

Fuxi could be overlooked.

But Nüwa was the key!

She was crucial to the future emergence of the Human Race!

After becoming a Sage.

Hongjun's ability to deduce had increased countless times.

More importantly.

He was the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, the being closest to the Heavenly Dao in the entire Primordial Wilderness. He could peer into the River of Fate, comprehend the Dao of Fate, and even alter fate!

Regarding the upcoming lecture at Lei Jun Palace, he not only knew which beings would attend.

He also knew what would happen afterward.

In other words.

The fate of all beings.

Even if not entirely under his control, was something he could fully understand. So.

Hongjun knew exactly which cultivators were important, which were relatively less so, and what each would do.

Take Nüwa, for example.

She was exceedingly important.

But at this moment.

Nüwa had not come!

It could be said with certainty that Nüwa's absence had a greater impact than the Three Purities being incomplete or Tongtian not attending.

Because the Three Purities were mainly tied to Karma.

Repaying Pangu for the Heavenly Dao.

Nüwa was different.

This concerned the arrangements of the Heavenly Dao.

He made another calculation.

The number of cultivators who hadn't come was considerable.

"Houtu, Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, Ming He, Xi He..."

He counted carefully.

Which cultivators were absent? A full several hundred were missing!

For a moment.

Hongjun was somewhat unsettled.

Thus.

Because of this, the Prayer Mats he had laid out in the Preaching Hall were now too many!

Especially the six special Prayer Mats at the front.

Since Tongtian and Nüwa were both absent.

Didn't that mean...

Two would be left over?

The trajectory of Fate that Hongjun saw was clearly also about to change.

And it was veering off into an unknown direction.

Take Kunpeng, for example.

He was very fast; on the original trajectory, he would have seized one of the special Prayer Mats.

Afterward.

He would have been implicated because Hong Yun gave up his seat.

And thus lost his seat.

But now.

Not only were there extra Prayer Mats.

The key point was...

Hong Yun hadn't come either!

If Hong Yun didn't give up his seat, would Kunpeng need to leave his?

Let alone the rest.

In short.

The impact was enormous.

It left Hongjun's mind in turmoil; all his arrangements and plans were thrown into chaos at this moment.
