Before long.
Xi He and Chang Xi, along with the many Red-Dust Guests outside Violet Cloud Palace, learned the full story of the battle on Mount Buzhou!
Before this.
The Red-Dust Guests had only known—
The Three Pure Ones had been beaten up by Dan Jing on the ridge of Mount Buzhou.
Oh, right...
Nuwa, Red Cloud, some of the Red-Dust Guests, and a number of Great Luo juniors had also been beaten.
But everyone would basically only talk about the Three Pure Ones getting beaten, without mentioning Nuwa, Red Cloud, and the others afterward.
There was no other reason.
The Pangu Three Pure Ones had the most prestigious reputation!
Whenever the battle on Mount Buzhou's ridge was mentioned in the future.
People would surely first say things like, "That battle where the Three Pure Ones were beaten like dogs," or, "I know, the one where the Three Pure Ones were floored in a single move!"
Nuwa, Red Cloud, and the others would have to move back a little!
Their prestige could not compare to the Three Pure Ones of the "Pangu Orthodox Lineage"!
At this moment.
Everyone already knew why the Three Pure Ones and the others had been floored.
So a whole bunch of you had joined forces to forcibly seize a treasure that Dan Jing had found two kalpas before you?
Then you deserved it.
If it had been a treasure everyone found together, there would have been nothing wrong with competing for it!
But he had fucking found the opportunity two kalpas ahead of you, and had even directly sealed off heaven and earth, making it clear that the item already had an owner.
And you shameless bastards still wanted to forcibly take it?
Then you failed to take it and got your asses kicked instead.
That could only mean you were incompetent and deserved it.
And on top of that—
Every one of you even sealed off the heavenly secrets, refusing to let everyone learn the details, then went around claiming that the madman Dan Jing was rampant and overbearing?
You even had the nerve to say that!
The truly overbearing ones were clearly you people who had been 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 yet still wanted to rob someone.
Then even getting beaten to death would be your own fault.
And more importantly—
Dan Jing's strength stood alone at the very top.
What worried the Red-Dust Guests even more was... if they encountered something like this in the future, could they withstand it?
Probably...
Maybe...
Perhaps...
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 struck with iron fists!
At that thought.
The gazes of the many Red-Dust Guests toward the Three Pure Ones began to change.
They became wary, suspicious, and distant—
Everyone knew just how arrogant and domineering the Three Pure Ones were!
No need to go far back.
Just take the first sermon, for example—
After Yuanshi cursed Kunpeng as "furred and horned" and "born damp from eggs," he 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 domineeringly intervened, even personally knocking Kunpeng from the cushion.
It was clear that the Three Pure Ones were domineering by nature!
These Pangu Three Pure Ones... did not look like good people.
The Red-Dust Guests quietly grumbled about the Three Pure Ones in their hearts.
At the same time, they silently cheered within—
The next time Lord Dan Jing fought them, hit them hard! Make sure to hammer that domineering nature out of the Three Pure Ones!
"Hehehe..."
After his impassioned storytelling and gesturing, Dan Jing sat back down, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
How could he 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 Red-Dust Guests all about it!
Because doing this—
Was hilarious!
Hahaha...
Seeing the Three Pure Ones' dark faces, as well as Nuwa and Red Cloud's utterly awkward expressions, Dan Jing found it immensely entertaining!
Besides.
Could they stop him from telling the truth?
This time—
Dan Jing was completely in the right!
As for saying that he had deliberately sought out the opportunity first, then deliberately remained there waiting?
Then let me ask you—
Had Heaven ever stipulated 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 take it, harbored ill intentions, and spoke rudely first.
In any case, Dan Jing's conscience was clear.
"Dao Friend Dan Jing, you're amazing!"
Xi He promptly offered Dan Jing sincere praise, raising a thumb in the gesture she had learned from him.
At the side.
Chang Xi had even taught herself to raise both thumbs:
"Dao Friend, you're awesome!"
Incidentally—
Chang Xi had also just learned the phrase "awesome" from Dan Jing. Its meaning was very simple; any Primordial Divine Being could learn it at once and use it with ease.
Though in Chang Xi's view, every "ox" in the Primordial Cosmos was merely a tiny ant and not particularly impressive.
But since Dan Jing liked using such a word to convey the meaning of "impressive," Chang Xi found it rather interesting as well and naturally began using it.
"That's right, that's right! Hahaha..."
Dan Jing accepted the praise of the two Lunar Star goddesses without hesitation, a hearty smile spreading across his face.
After that.
The three began chatting quietly.
From time to time, peals of laughter rang out beyond Violet Cloud Palace.
The unique atmosphere there drew many sidelong glances from the Red-Dust Guests, but fortunately, no one dared interrupt them.
Lord Dan Jing was not someone they could afford to provoke!
Not to mention that the two Lunar Star goddesses were no harmless figures either!
Not long afterward.
The time set by the Sage for the second sermon was about to arrive—
Buzz!
Accompanied by the sound 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 bowed to the Red-Dust Guests and said:
"Master is about to expound the Great Dao. Please enter in an orderly manner, honored guests!"
After saying that.
Haotian stood beside the gate and allowed the Red-Dust Guests to enter Violet Cloud Palace.
Very quickly.
The Red-Dust Guests all entered Violet Cloud Palace and took their seats upon their respective meditation cushions.
Of course.
Dan Jing and the sisters Xi He and Chang Xi had one additional step compared to everyone else—
Placing their cushions!
Watching Xi He and Chang Xi each take out an extraordinary meditation cushion and place it in an empty spot, Dan Jing's eyes flashed with surprise 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 gazes, then all curled their lips into faint smiles.
After the Red-Dust Guests had all taken their seats.
Buzz!
Amid the circulation of purple immortal radiance, the old Sage's figure, along with the cushion beneath him, appeared upon the elevated lecture platform.
Without giving the Red-Dust Guests time to pay their respects.
The old Sage immediately began expounding the Dao in a clear voice:
"Three flowers gather above the crown, one breath returns to primal unity. Ten thousand transformations give rise to all things, and endless changes give rise to all things."
"..."
The spectacle surrounding the old Sage's sermon was as grand as it had been during the first sermon.
Countless phenomena, splendid chapters of the Great Dao, fragrant scents, and everything else appeared throughout Violet Cloud Palace.
For a time—
The Red-Dust Guests within Violet Cloud Palace all became immersed in listening to the Dao.
