Not long after.
Xi He and Chang Xi, the two sisters, along with the many worldly guests outside Violet Cloud Palace, learned the full course of the battle on Mount Buzhou!
Previously.
The worldly guests had only known—
The Three Pure Ones had been beaten up on the ridge of Mount Buzhou.
Oh, right...
Nuwa, Red Cloud, and some of the worldly guests, along with a group of Great Luo youngsters, had also been beaten.
But everyone basically only talked about the Three Pure Ones getting thrashed, without dragging Nuwa, Red Cloud, and the others into it.
There was no other reason.
The name Pangu Three Pure Ones was simply the most resounding!
From now on, whenever the battle on the ridge of Mount Buzhou was mentioned—
Everyone would surely first say things like, "Oh, that battle where the Three Pure Ones got beaten into dogs," or, "I know, the one where the Three Pure Ones got knocked flat in a single move!"
Nuwa, Red Cloud, and the others would have to move back a little!
Their prestige was nowhere near that of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, the Three Pure Ones!
At this moment.
Everyone already knew why the Three Pure Ones and the others had been knocked down.
So, a whole crowd of you joined forces to forcibly seize a treasure that Dan Jing had found two epochs before you did?
Then you deserved it.
If it had been a treasure everyone found together, there would have been nothing wrong with fighting over it!
But the man had found the opportunity two whole epochs ahead of you, and had even directly sealed off heaven and earth to make it clear that the thing already had an owner.
And you shameless bastards still wanted to snatch it by force?
Then you failed to rob him and got fucked up instead.
That could only mean you were useless and deserved it.
And on top of that—
Every last one of you even sealed off the heavenly secrets, refusing to let everyone know the details, then went around claiming that Madman Dan Jing was rampant and tyrannical?
You actually had the nerve to say that!
The truly tyrannical ones were clearly you people who got beaten flat, weren't you?
This was the Primordial World—
Not some place where the weak were naturally in the right!
If you lacked the ability and still wanted to rob others—
Then even getting beaten to death would be your own damn fault.
And more importantly—
Dan Jing's strength stood in a class of its own.
What the worldly guests worried about even more was... if they encountered something like this in the future, could they withstand it?
Probably...
Possibly...
Maybe...
Being able to keep their own lives would already count as their greatest achievement, right?
Before Lord Dan Jing, the Three Pure Ones were meek and submissive; before a crowd of ants, the Three Pure Ones threw heavy punches!
At that thought.
The looks the many worldly guests gave the Three Pure Ones began to change.
They became wary, suspicious, and distant—
Everyone knew full well how arrogant and overbearing the Three Pure Ones were!
To say nothing of distant matters.
Just take the first sermon—
After Yuanshi had cursed Kunpeng as "furred and horned" and "born damp from eggs," he had blasted Kunpeng, who had offended no one at all, off that meditation cushion bearing the aura of the Heavenly Dao!
At the time, Jieyin and Zhunti had been plotting to seize Kunpeng's cushion.
This matter had absolutely nothing to do with Yuqing Yuanshi, yet he had tyrannically interfered, even directly knocking Kunpeng off the cushion.
That showed the Three Pure Ones were overbearing by nature!
These Pangu Three Pure Ones... did not look like good people at all.
The worldly guests secretly grumbled about the Three Pure Ones.
At the same time, they silently encouraged him in their hearts—
The next time Lord Dan Jing fought them, hit them hard! He absolutely had to hammer the Three Pure Ones' tyrannical temper right out of them!
"Hehehe..."
After an impassioned round of storytelling and gesturing, Dan Jing sat back down, a wicked grin appearing on his face.
Could he possibly not know what would happen to the Three Pure Ones and the others after hearing his account?
Of course Dan Jing knew!
It was precisely because he knew that he had patiently told Xi He, Chang Xi, and the worldly guests all about it!
Because doing this—
Was great fun!
Hahaha...
Seeing the Three Pure Ones' faces dark as charcoal, along with Nuwa and Red Cloud's incomparably awkward expressions, Dan Jing found it immensely amusing and interesting!
Besides.
Were they not even going to let him tell the truth?
This time—
Dan Jing was completely in the right!
As for saying that he had deliberately gone to find the opportunity first, then deliberately stayed behind to wait there?
Then let him ask you—
Had the heavens decreed that one could not wait in place for an opportunity to mature?
No such rule meant it was allowed!
It was the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Red Cloud, and the others who thought they could handle him, harbored malicious intentions, and started by speaking rudely.
In any case, Dan Jing's conscience was clear.
"Fellow Daoist Dan Jing, you're amazing!"
Xi He timely offered Dan Jing her sincere praise, raising a thumbs-up gesture she had learned from him.
At the side.
Chang Xi had even taught herself to raise both thumbs:
"Fellow Daoist, you're fucking awesome!"
By the way—
The phrase "fucking awesome" in Chang Xi's mouth had also just been learned from Dan Jing. Its meaning was simple enough that any Primordial Divine Being could learn it at once and use it with ease.
Though in Chang Xi's eyes, any "ox" in the vast universe of the Primordial World was merely an ant, hardly impressive at all.
But since Dan Jing liked using such words to express the meaning of "amazing," and Chang Xi herself found it quite interesting, she naturally used it as well.
"Of course I am! Hahaha..."
Dan Jing accepted the praise of the two Lunar Goddesses without the slightest hesitation, a hearty smile spreading across his face.
Then.
The three began chatting quietly.
From time to time, bursts of laughter rang out beyond Violet Cloud Palace.
The peculiar atmosphere here made the worldly guests glance over repeatedly, but fortunately, no one dared disturb them.
Lord Dan Jing was not someone they could afford to provoke!
Not to mention that the two Lunar Goddesses were no harmless sorts either!
Not long afterward.
The time set by the Sage for the second sermon was about to arrive—
Buzz!
Accompanied by a burst of Dao music, the tightly shut gates of Violet Cloud Palace slowly opened.
At the same time.
Haotian, the Dao Ancestor's young-looking attendant, emerged from Violet Cloud Palace.
He saluted the worldly guests and said:
"My lord is about to expound the Great Dao. Please enter in an orderly manner, honored guests!"
After saying this.
Haotian stood by the gate and allowed the worldly guests to enter Violet Cloud Palace.
Very soon.
The worldly guests all entered Violet Cloud Palace and took their seats upon their own meditation cushions.
Of course.
Dan Jing and the sisters Xi He and Chang Xi had one more step than everyone else—
Placing down cushions!
Watching Xi He and Chang Xi each take out an extraordinary treasure cushion and place it on an empty spot, surprise flashed through Dan Jing's eyes as he looked up at them.
At the same time.
The sisters Xi He and Chang Xi also looked up at the surprised Dan Jing.
The three met each other's eyes, then the corners of their mouths rose as they smiled faintly.
After all the worldly guests had taken their seats.
Buzz!
As purple qi and immortal light swirled, the old Sage's figure appeared atop the raised lecturing platform, along with the meditation cushion beneath him.
He gave the worldly guests no time to salute.
The old Sage began expounding the Dao in a clear voice the moment he appeared:
"Three flowers gathered atop the crown, one qi returning to chaos. Ten thousand transformations gave rise to all things, and ten thousand changes gave rise to all things."
"..."
The old Sage's display while expounding the Dao was just as grand as during the first sermon.
Countless phenomena, magnificent chapters of the Great Dao, fragrant aromas, and all manner of wonders appeared throughout Violet Cloud Palace.
For a time—
The worldly guests within Violet Cloud Palace all sank into a state of listening to the Dao.
