Sect Leader Tongtian's voice echoed directly in Xuandu's mind:
"All my fellow disciples are diligently comprehending, yet you are distracted, looking left and right."
"Xuandu, do you feel that the Dao I expound is no longer worthy of your Master?"
A chill shot up Xuandu's spine straight to his Heavenly Spirit Cover.
Master was angry!
And he misunderstood him deeply!
What could he say?
Should he directly tell Master that he had the realm but not the corresponding Comprehension, and simply couldn't understand this profound Great Dao?
The system was his biggest secret and could never be revealed.
Therefore, any explanation at this moment would be weak and pale, and would only sound like a sophistry.
Xuandu felt immense bitterness in his heart, truly having unspeakable suffering.
He quickly responded respectfully in his mind, adopting an extremely humble posture:
"This disciple would not dare!"
"Master's teachings are profound and abstruse. This disciple is dull-witted and is doing his best to ponder them. There is not the slightest trace of disrespect!"
He dared not say he didn't understand, so he could only grit his teeth and say he was trying his best to ponder.
"Trying your best to ponder?"
Sect Leader Tongtian's voice remained icy, with a power that pierced the heart.
"I observe your aura is steady, your divine light contained, with no sign of deduction or comprehension. Instead, you seem to be strolling leisurely, admiring flowers and scenery."
"Xuandu, you carry the Chaos origin, favored by heaven and earth, and should cherish your Opportunity, cultivating diligently without stopping."
"How can you become complacent due to temporary gains?"
Every word and sentence reverberated in Xuandu's mind.
He knew that his appearance just now had thoroughly angered Master.
If he couldn't give a reasonable performance now, he was afraid his impression in Master's heart would plummet, and all the previous appreciation and regard would be greatly discounted.
Just as Xuandu's thoughts raced, considering how to deal with this predicament.
Sect Leader Tongtian seemed unsatisfied with his weak defense. With a slight movement of his will, a more severe reprimand seemed imminent.
However, at this critical juncture.
"Boom!"
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from the center of the plaza!
Dao rhythm flowed, immortal light soared into the sky!
It was an Outer Disciple at the Golden Immortal Peak who, under the baptism of the Dao sound, had an epiphany. The shackles within his body shattered, and he took a step into the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Realm!
Although he had just entered, his aura was still unstable, but the Unique Charm of Grand Unity Dao Fruit had already manifested!
This seemed to be a signal.
"Hum!"
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
One after another, breakthrough auras surged into the sky consecutively!
Immortal light and auspicious colors intertwined, fragments of laws rained down like light.
There were Heavenly Immortals Breakthrough to Profound Immortal.
There were Profound Immortals Breakthrough to Golden Immortal.
Of course, most were breakthroughs in minor realms.
Those who broke through major realms were those who were already stuck at the bottleneck and broke through because of the sermon.
The entire Biyou Palace Plaza seemed to have transformed into an ocean of cultivation breakthroughs!
The Myriad Immortals Aura interacted, and the Dao rhythm surged like a tide!
Sect Leader Tongtian's consciousness, which was about to fall on Xuandu again, paused slightly.
He swept his gaze over the myriad disciples below, and a trace of extremely faint satisfaction flickered across his usually calm face.
This sermon had yielded significant results.
The Jie Sect Overall Strength would increase by another point.
And at this moment.
In the front row Personal Disciple Area, another change occurred!
First was Saint Mother Wudang.
She, the cool and ethereal aura surrounding her body, suddenly became incredibly solid.
Behind her, an Illusory World Projection faintly appeared, within which mountains and rivers emerged, and all things were born and died.
Her aura surged explosively, instantly breaking through its original constraints and entering a whole new level!
Mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!
Immediately after, Saint Mother Jinling, standing beside her, also moved.
A Zhou Tian Star Projection appeared above her head, scattering endless starlight and integrating into her body.
Her already brilliant Spiritual Light became even more dazzling and eye-catching, radiant like the sun.
A majestic fluctuation of magic power swept out, and she too steadily stepped into the mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm!
Almost at the same time, Saint Mother Guiling opened her eyes.
Her eyes were Spirited, yet the Dao rhythm around her carried a deep and heavy meaning, as if she were bearing the Azure Heaven and carrying the earth.
A faint Turtle Shell Resonance sounded from within her body, and her aura also fiercely broke through, entering the mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm!
Three Personal Disciples, all breaking through simultaneously during this sermon!
From early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, stepping directly into the mid-stage!
The Personal Disciples' strength greatly increased, signifying an enhancement in the Jie Sect's top combat power.
Sect Leader Tongtian's eyes held even more admiration as he nodded slightly.
However, when his gaze inadvertently swept over Xuandu again, his pupils suddenly contracted!
He saw that on the plaza where Myriad Immortals were breaking through and their auras intertwined chaotically.
Xuandu, seated on his futon, his aura had strengthened by another fraction!
Although the increase was not large.
But at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak realm, every bit of progress was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
What's more, in this short moment, without him seemingly meditating intently?
What... what was going on?
Sect Leader Tongtian's displeasure and intention to reprimand instantly vanished, replaced by a genuine surprise and bewilderment.
Could it be... he had truly misunderstood him?
This child was not without insight, nor was he slackening in his heart.
It was his method of comprehension, which was completely different from ordinary disciples?
Ordinary disciples listen to the Great Dao, absorbing and understanding it, thus their aura manifests externally, or they experience breakthrough anomalies.
But for Xuandu, due to his unique Chaos God Demon Pedigree, perhaps the Great Dao for him wasn't something that needed deliberate understanding.
But rather, it naturally resonated with his own origin?
His seemingly leisurely state might be the state of comprehension where his special pedigree best fit with the Great Dao?
He was using his own origin to directly reflect and absorb the rules of the Great Dao.
So, while his surface remained calm, his heart was constantly comprehending?
That's right!
It must be so!
If not, how could he explain that he, a mere mortal, reached Zenith Heaven Peak and condensed the Eight-Petal Three Flowers in just a few days?
His cultivation path could not be measured by common sense.
He had just measured him by ordinary standards, and almost misunderstood this Uncarved Jade.
Thinking of this, Sect Leader Tongtian's gaze towards Xuandu instantly became incredibly complex.
He took a deep look at Xuandu, then immediately withdrew his gaze.
The voice of him preaching the Dao remained peaceful and magnificent, resounding through heaven and earth, without the slightest pause due to this small interlude.
It was as if the silent reprimand and the subsequent astonishment had never happened.
Xuandu, at this moment, greatly relaxed.
His back was already soaked in cold sweat.
That was close!
He naturally perceived the increase in his own aura.
This wasn't because he had comprehended any Great Dao.
But as the Myriad Immortals of the Jie Sect collectively broke through and their strength increased.
The total cultivation from the [Total Sum System] feedback naturally rose accordingly!
It just happened to occur at this moment, and by sheer coincidence, it saved him!
"Fortunately... fortunately, I had the system feedback..."
Xuandu secretly thought himself lucky.
This accidental breakthrough came at the perfect time!
Time flowed slowly.
The Sage's sermon was profound and his Dao rhythm long-lasting; a hundred years passed like a fleeting moment.
Before Biyou Palace, the Myriad Immortals were silent, with only the grand pronouncements of the Dao echoing endlessly, golden lotuses blooming and withering, and immortal light flowing.
During this century, disciples' auras continuously erupted, their immortal light shooting towards the heavens, drawing waves of spiritual energy.
Outer Disciples stepped from Profound Immortal to Golden Immortal, and Golden Immortals broke through to Grand Unity.
Among the Seven Attendant Immortals, several also saw their auras become more condensed, steadily advancing towards higher realms.
Even in the front row, the Personal Disciple Area, there were occasional anomalies.
Daoist Duobao's treasure light became even more brilliant, as if myriad spiritual treasure phantoms were surfacing and submerging unstably. His aura was as deep as the sea, having reached the Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak!
He was only a sliver away from breaking through to the Late Stage!
Behind Zhao Gongming, phantoms of twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls surfaced and submerged. His heroic aura gained a touch of vastness. Although he hadn't broken through, his understanding of the Dao of the Great Luo deepened.
Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao's auras intertwined. Within their cool immortal light, the image of the Nine Bends Yellow River became increasingly clear, its killing intent contained, and its Dao rhythm self-formed.
Behind Kong Xuan, the Five-Colored Divine Light flowed endlessly, and his Innate Five Elements Dao became more rounded.
Xuandu remained seated on his cushion, his expression calm, his eyes slightly closed.
To outsiders, he seemed to be perpetually immersed in that profound Dao realm, resonating with the Great Dao.
Only he himself knew that he wasn't deliberately trying to comprehend the obscure Dao pronouncements.
His mind and spirit were silently sensing the vast magic power within his body that was steadily climbing with the breakthroughs of the Myriad Immortals!
A century of preaching had caused the overall strength of the Jie Sect's Myriad Immortals to leap forward!
The Cultivation Sum Feedback it brought was unimaginably immense!
At first, the increase was relatively smooth, but as the sermon deepened and more disciples broke through, especially the significant advancements of the personal disciples.
The feedback cultivation had already transformed into a torrential flood, surging and roaring within his meridians, which had long since reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak!
Within his Purple Mansion, the phantom of the Eight-Petal Three Flowers swayed and shone, madly absorbing this endless, surging power.
Above the Three Flowers, the Dao patterns became clearer, as if they were about to transform from illusory to real, imprinting an immortal Dao seal.
Xuandu could clearly feel that realm of Golden Immortal of the Origin, which had once been unattainable!
"It's about time..."
Xuandu whispered in his heart, an irrepressible excitement surging in his chest.
A century of accumulation, the power of Myriad Immortals converged into one body!
At this moment, his perception of the rules of heaven and earth was clearer than ever before.
His Chaos God Demon Pedigree was spontaneously breathing in the Chaos Qi from the void, providing the most fundamental support for his breakthrough.
The time had come!
He no longer hesitated.
With a thought, he completely released the suppression on the vast magical power within his body!
"BOOM!!!"
Like a river of stars bursting its banks, like the universe beginning!
An indescribable terrifying aura erupted from Xuandu's body!
This time, it was no longer a passive increase brought about by system feedback.
Instead, he was actively guiding the immense power, which had gathered the cultivation of Myriad Immortals, to break through the bottleneck of Golden Immortal of the Origin!
In an instant, the world changed!
Above Biyou Palace, the auspicious clouds and endless golden lotuses that had gathered due to the Sage's sermon.
At this moment, they were violently scattered by an invisible wave of energy surging from Xuandu's body!
In their place, there was chaos!
Not spiritual energy, not immortal light, but the most primal Chaos Qi!
Gray mist surged from the void, instantly engulfing the area where Xuandu was, and rapidly spreading outwards!
Within the chaos, Earth Water Fire Wind churned, as if replaying the scene of creation!
Countless blurry figures of Chaos God Demons roared within the swirling energy!
A supreme Dao charm, surpassing Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, transcending the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, and forming its own laws, swept over!
"This is...?"
On the high platform, Sect Leader Tongtian's sermon came to an abrupt halt!
He suddenly opened his eyes, and unprecedented brilliant divine light shot out, staring intently at Xuandu, who was enveloped by the Chaos Qi!
The Saint Heart, which had been calm for eons, was now stirred by monstrous waves!
"Golden Immortal of the Origin Dao charm... Is he attempting to break through to Golden Immortal of the Origin?"
Even as a Sage of the Heavenly Dao, Sect Leader Tongtian, who had seen countless storms in the Great Wilderness, couldn't help but be shaken to his core!
