Transmission to the Primordial Era Causes Worry and Pain, Outsourcing Permissions to Save the Day

Xiao Kuang felt dejected for two days after agreeing to the troublesome task of lecturing, like a beaten-down eggplant.

But even a salted fish has its advantages, namely a carefree attitude. As he fretted, he began to ponder a more practical problem: the lecture would need an audience, right? He couldn't just lecture to Xi He, Chang Xi, and their retinue of beautiful maids and exotic beasts. That would be so undignified!

But how could he notify the big shots of the Primordial Era?

Post on social media? No signal. Mass text? No base stations. Send a dream message? He wasn't familiar with that service!

Xiao Kuang scratched his head, pacing back and forth in the Purple Firmament Palace, his gaming chair creaking loudly. He couldn't come up with a solution. He could vaguely sense the powerful auras of the Primordial Era, but precisely "calling" them was a high-level skill. His half-baked Primordial Golden Immortal cultivation (mostly propped up by permissions) hadn't unlocked that skill tree at all.

"Alas, you only know how little you've read when you need to use it, and how little you know when you need to lecture!" he sighed, his gaze falling upon Xi He and Chang Xi, who were meditating in the distance (actually secretly enjoying the benefits of reduced karma).

These two were native deities; they would surely know!

He immediately scurried over, plastering a smile on his face that he thought was amiable (but was actually rather lecherous): "Um... Miss Xi He, little sister Chang Xi? Can I discuss something with you?"

Xi He didn't even lift her eyelids, her aura growing even colder. Chang Xi rolled her eyes at him impatiently: "What is it? Want to charge us 50 Merit again?"

"No, no, this is serious business!" Xiao Kuang rubbed his hands together. "Look, I'm about to start lecturing, but there's no audience! Do you guys know how to notify the other Daoists in the Primordial Era... you know, the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun Tai Yi, Nuwa Houtu, and them, to come listen? Offering to pick them up and drop them off would be fine too!"

Chang Xi scoffed: "Oh, the dignified Dao Ancestor who has achieved Dao Integration, you don't even know how to use Great Dao Transmission? Did you pick up this Dao Ancestor title from a street vendor?" Xi He finally opened her eyes, her clear, cold gaze sweeping over him with a hint of amusement: "Great Dao Transmission involves connecting one's mind to the Heavenly Dao and using the power of laws to send one's thoughts into the hearts of all beings in the Primordial Era. This is a rudimentary skill that all Golden Immortals know. Dao Ancestor... are you joking?"

Xiao Kuang's old face flushed red. He stiffened his neck and said, "Ru-rudimentary? I just disdain to learn it! Do you know what simplicity is? Can't I just issue a command?"

"Sure," Chang Xi replied quickly, "then just command them all to come over." She wanted to see how this rogue would issue such a command.

Xiao Kuang held his breath for a long time, then concentrated his mind and roared into the void: "Hey! Everyone in the Primordial Era! Come to the Purple Heaven Palace to listen to my lecture! Anyone who doesn't come is disrespecting me!"

His voice echoed in the empty hall, creating barely a ripple. A Kirin in the backyard zoo snorted, as if in mockery.

Xi He & Chang Xi: "..." They both turned their faces away simultaneously, their shoulders trembling slightly as they struggled to suppress their laughter.

Xiao Kuang was truly at a loss now, his pride completely shattered. He resorted to his usual rogue tactics, circling the two goddesses: "Oh, please help me out! We're colleagues now! We'll have to coexist under the same roof in the future! Just tell me how to do that Great Dao Transmission! I learn things very quickly!"

Xi He was annoyed by his pestering, unable to meditate. She said coldly, "It's useless to tell you. Great Dao Transmission requires a meticulous and subtle control over the laws of the Heavenly Dao, and a sufficiently strong and sensitive mind. You..." She scanned Xiao Kuang from head to toe, her unspoken words filled with disdain.

Chang Xi added her own jab: "Exactly, you just look like a rough guy, you can't do this kind of delicate work! Don't waste your energy!"

Xiao Kuang was speechless, but if there was one thing he had, it was a thick skin. Seeing that his soft persuasion was useless, his eyes darted around, and he unleashed his ultimate move – the power of a privilege-holder!

"Alright, alright! I'm rough! I'm stupid! I can't learn it!" He put his hands on his hips, adopting a "what the hell" attitude. "But I have privileges! Xi He! You know how to do it, right? I'll temporarily grant you this part of my privileges! You transmit it for me! That'll work, right?"

Without giving Xi He a chance to refuse, he stirred his mind, invoked the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and forcibly separated a sliver of his "Director of the Primordial Broadcast Station" privilege, stuffing it into Xi He.

[Heavenly Dao: Warning! Detected unconventional privilege transfer! Target: Xi He! Content of transfer: Great Dao Transmission function! Risk unknown!] [Heavenly Dao: ((′--)--)-_-)...(Numb)]

Xi He's delicate body trembled. Instantly, she felt a vast and peculiar power surge into her Primordial Spirit, merging with her own Taiyin Law. It actually granted her the temporary qualification to command the Heavenly Dao and transmit messages throughout the Primordial Era! Although it was only a tiny portion and limited by Xiao Kuang, the main privilege holder, the feeling was still incredibly shocking.

She looked at Xiao Kuang in astonishment. This scoundrel... he actually dared to casually give away the authority of the Heavenly Dao to someone else? Even if it was just the right to use a "loudspeaker"?

"Hurry up! What are you spacing out for?" Xiao Kuang urged. "Just send it in the format! Time... hmm, let's set it for three thousand years from now! I need some time to prepare my lesson... no, to brew my thoughts! The content should be... uh... 'The first public lecture at the Purple Heaven Palace is about to begin! Limited spots, first come, first served, cushions in the front row... with massage chairs!'"

Xi He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to change the transmission message to "This is a scam, stay away." She finally understood. Although this salted fish Dao Ancestor was a scoundrel, the Heavenly Dao seemed to recognize him, and staying here indeed had great benefits. If the transmission failed, and the Heavenly Dao blamed her, she wouldn't fare well either.

She closed her eyes in resignation, her mind sinking into that sliver of Heavenly Dao privilege. With her exquisite control, combined with Xiao Kuang's requested (and extremely unreliable) content, she painstakingly packaged it to appear somewhat presentable. Then, using the power of the Heavenly Dao laws, she instantly transmitted a clear, cold, and grand thought into the hearts of all beings in the Primordial Era at the Golden Immortal realm and above:

[The Heavenly Dao is vast, the Purple Firmament Palace opens. Those with fate may come and listen.] [Three thousand years later, beyond the chaos, within the Purple Firmament Palace, the Dao Ancestor will lecture on the Great Dao.] [Opportunity is here, do not miss it, do not forget.]

Xi He had forcibly beautified the content of the transmission, but the core message and the timing were correct.

In an instant, the entire Primordial Era was once again shaken! All the great powers felt something in their hearts, looked up at the sky, their expressions varied.

Xiao Kuang listened intently (though he couldn't actually hear anything) and nodded with satisfaction: "Mmm! Done! Although I feel the gravitas isn't high enough, and it's a shame massage chairs weren't mentioned... never mind, mission accomplished!"

He patted his butt, then retracted the sliver of privilege (afraid Xi He might do something else with it). He then grinned at Xi He and said, "Thanks! I'll give you extra chicken legs later!"

Xi He felt the privilege vanish abruptly and heard the words "extra chicken legs." Her chest heaved with anger. She glared at him fiercely and turned to leave, not wanting to say another word to this scoundrel.

Chang Xi followed her, also speechless.

Xiao Kuang didn't care if they were angry. Having solved a major problem, he felt refreshed and slumped back into his massage chair.

"Alright, the notification has been sent... Next... what should I prepare for the lesson? This is truly a worry for a fish..." He stared at the chaotic ceiling, beginning a new round of fretting.

Meanwhile, in various parts of the Primordial Era, a hidden undercurrent had begun to stir due to this sudden "official notification."
