Second Zixiao Lecture

The Ancestral Witches could follow the path of the Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal.

There was no need for them to take the path of becoming Sages.

As for Di Jiang himself,

he could walk several paths at once.

He could also draw a great number of experts into his camp.

When the time came, dealing with Heavenly Dao and that old loach Hongjun would be effortless.

As for whether Zhen Yuanzi would hand over the Earth Book after Di Jiang became a Sage,

he was not worried in the slightest!

Di Jiang did not believe that any Innate Divine Saints could resist the temptation of becoming a Sage.

That was a Sage!

Among the countless trillions of living beings in the Primordial World,

there were only twenty-one Sage Seats.

There were seven Sage Seats each for Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao.

Di Jiang's thoughts drifted.

Then he suppressed them and began cultivating.

Sun Star.

The two Golden Crows spread their wings and flew straight toward the depths of the Sun Star.

They activated the formation, swiftly flew inside, and then shut the formation again.

These two Golden Crows were none other than Taiyi and Dijun, who had escaped from Di Jiang and Zhen Yuanzi.

After entering the Sun Star, they arrived within a magnificent palace.

They transformed back into human form, their faces pale as though they might perish completely at any moment.

The two sat facing one another.

Dijun said urgently,

"Quickly restore our origins, or our foundations will be damaged."

Taiyi nodded, knowing the severity of the matter.

Immediately afterward, the two began cultivating together.

To prevent anyone from disturbing them,

they also activated the Sun Star's protective grand formation.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, five hundred years had gone by.

Dijun slowly opened his eyes. The pallor had faded from his face as he said,

"The injuries have finally stabilized!"

"Our foundations have not been affected either."

Fortunately, they had recovered in time. Otherwise, the Golden Crow Origin-Burning Art would have been enough to burn away their origins entirely and permanently damage their foundations.

Taiyi slowly opened his eyes as well. Hearing his elder brother's words, he nodded in agreement.

Thinking of Di Jiang, Dijun's eyes brimmed with killing intent as he said coldly,

"Di Jiang! The Ancestral Witches! They are destined to become grave threats to my Demon Court!"

"They must be eliminated!"

"But I do not understand. Why is Di Jiang so powerful?"

"Hongjun the Sage has clearly not yet explained the path of the Quasi-Sage. How did Di Jiang break through to the Quasi-Sage realm?"

Taiyi shook his head in confusion, indicating that he did not know either. Then he sighed and slowly said,

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Dijun's expression shifted uncertainly. He let out a long sigh before saying,

"At present, we can only break through to the Quasi-Sage realm as soon as possible, and even attain the Dao to become Sages!"

"Yet although our origins have been depleted, we have also lost much time. We should have attained Perfected Great Firmament, but now we can only remain at the Late-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm."

Taiyi was equally helpless.

Dijun sighed, then seemed to recall something and said,

"Right!"

"Second Brother, is it all right that your Eastern Sovereign Bell fell into Di Jiang's hands?"

At this, Taiyi's face filled with pride as he said,

"Rest assured, Brother!"

"The Eastern Sovereign Bell is my companion spirit treasure. It cannot possibly be taken from me..."

Before he could finish speaking, his mind suddenly shook violently. Taiyi opened his mouth and spat out golden blood, his face filled with horror as he said,

"Impossible!"

"I can feel that my connection to the Eastern Sovereign Bell has completely vanished."

"The Eastern Sovereign Bell has been taken!"

Dijun's face was filled with shock upon hearing this.

At this moment,

within Pangu Hall,

Di Jiang was still cultivating.

He did not know that after he had taken the Chaos Bell,

Taiyi had sensed it and suffered considerable injuries as a result.

In the blink of an eye,

a thousand years passed.

Within Pangu Hall,

a powerful aura spread out.

Boom!

A soundless roar rang out.

Di Jiang's comprehension of the Law of Space had grown even deeper.

Middle Primordial Golden Immortal.

Success!

"I broke through again!"

A smile appeared on Di Jiang's face.

With the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror and the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique, his speed of comprehending laws was exceedingly fast.

In merely a thousand years, he had broken through from the Early Primordial Golden Immortal realm to the Middle Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

His strength had increased by more than a single level!

If he faced Dijun, Taiyi, and the others again,

he could easily slay them with a single strike.

As he pondered this, Di Jiang extended his senses and discovered powerful auras permeating Pangu Hall. The other Ancestral Witches were cultivating.

"Come at once!"

Di Jiang transmitted his voice to the other Ancestral Witches.

Then, upon receiving the transmission, the Ancestral Witches all came to Di Jiang.

The Ancestral Witches spoke in unison. "Big Brother!"

"Not bad!"

"In a thousand years, both our Primordial Spirit cultivation and physical cultivation have advanced from the Mid-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm to the Late-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm."

Di Jiang looked at the Ancestral Witches with a smile and nodded in satisfaction.

Zhurong patted his head and laughed loudly.

"Father God's Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique is truly powerful! It allows one to cultivate both the physical body and the Primordial Spirit, and the two can even reinforce each other."

After cultivating the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique, Zhurong seemed better able to control his temper.

Gong Gong snorted coldly at Zhurong.

"Does that even need to be said? The technique Father God left behind is naturally excellent!"

Zhurong glared at Gong Gong and said, "I was speaking to Big Brother. Why are you butting in?"

Di Jiang helplessly pressed a hand to his forehead.

All right!

Take back what I just said.

The other Ancestral Witches burst into laughter at the sight.

Xuanming glared at them and shouted, "Enough! Stop making trouble!"

Zhurong and Gong Gong exchanged a glance, then immediately snorted coldly.

Zhu Jiuyin asked, "Big Brother, why did you summon us?"

Di Jiang said,

"Three thousand years have passed! The Second Zixiao Lecture is about to begin!"

"Though I cannot stand that old loach Hongjun, much of what he teaches is quite useful. And now that you possess Primordial Spirits,"

"you can comprehend it more effectively and thus break through to the Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm."

"So make your preparations. We are heading to Zixiao Palace!"

Now that three thousand years had passed,

it was precisely time for the next lecture to begin.

Di Jiang intended to continue listening to the Dao.

Now that he occupied a Meditation Cushion, by all reason he should have a Heavenly Dao Sage Seat.

He just did not know whether that old loach Hongjun would acknowledge it.

In any case, he had to go and see.

Then he could consider whether he could disrupt some of Hongjun's plans.

The Ancestral Witches all nodded.

Then,

under Di Jiang's lead, the Ancestral Witches headed beyond the Primordial World and into Chaos.

At this moment,

streams of light appeared throughout the Primordial World.

Three streaks of clear light flew out from Mount Kunlun, circulating and spreading through the surrounding area.

Two streaks of yellow light emerged from Mount Sumeru. The Ancient Bodhi Tree shone brilliantly, while Gengjin Essence filled the surroundings.

The two Golden Crows of the Sun Star cried out ceaselessly. After circling the heavens once, they spread their wings and flew toward Chaos.

With a thunderous boom, a blood-red figure broke through the waters of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

A massive roc that blotted out the sky and sun flew from Kunpeng Hall.

At Five Villages Temple on Longevity Mountain, red clouds covered the sky while tree shadows swayed.

Such extraordinary phenomena appeared one after another.
