However, after entering the palace, they did not find the Four Ancestors.

The Primordial Golden Immortal beings sat in a separate row, as a sign of respect.

After all, the Four Ancestors were now also at the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. It was simply that their understanding of the Dao and their strength far surpassed those of the other Primordial Golden Immortals.

All the beings who entered the palace sat upon prayer mats and waited quietly. The entire hall was utterly silent.

Before long, the Four Ancestors appeared on the prayer mats.

Emperor Jun's gaze had never left those four prayer mats, yet he had not noticed how the Four Ancestors had appeared. There had not been the slightest trace.

It was not only Emperor Jun. The Primordial Golden Immortals in the front rows were also greatly shocked, because they had not noticed either.

They had originally thought the gap between themselves and the Four Ancestors was not too great, but from this alone, it was already clear that the gap between them was enormous—and still widening.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, seated at the very end, said, "Before the preaching begins, I shall first make a few matters clear to everyone."

"According to the calculations of this humble Daoist and the three fellow Daoists, when the four of us engage Luo Hou in decisive battle, it will also be the final battle of the Dao-Devil Conflict."

"There is also a great possibility that Demon Path cultivators will invade the Eastern Primordial Desolation."

"In order to strengthen the Eastern Primordial Desolation, this preaching has been arranged."

Hearing this, Emperor Jun finally understood the reason for this preaching.

"Of course, any being who has come here may listen to our preaching, whether or not they participate in the resistance against the Demon Path."

"However, those who can participate in the resistance against the Demon Path will receive the blessing of Daoist Sect Fortune after it ends."

The blessing of karmic luck?

Many beings' eyes lit up upon hearing those words.

With karmic luck blessing them, their cultivation speed would greatly increase, and even their opportunities would multiply.

Under such circumstances, naturally, some beings were tempted.

What was more, they had originally intended to fight the Demonic Cultivators, especially those beings who had often fought here.

They had already forged an irreconcilable hatred with Demon Path cultivators.

Emperor Jun was also somewhat excited by all the karmic luck blessings Dao Ancestor Hongjun had mentioned.

This was the blessing of Daoist Sect Fortune, not some ordinary karmic luck blessing. How could Emperor Jun not want it?

Hongjun looked at the expressions of the many beings below and continued, "Do not rush to make a decision. There is still plenty of time."

"Two thousand seven hundred years is enough time for you to think it over carefully."

"The matter of granting Daoist Sect Fortune blessings is not this humble Daoist's decision alone. The other three fellow Daoists have also agreed."

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, Ancestor Yinyang, Ancestor Diandao, and Ancestor Qiankun all nodded.

Although many beings were far from the four prayer mats at the front, that did not prevent them from seeing the Four Ancestors' movements.

"I hope you will consider this carefully. Once Luo Hou is defeated, the Dao Sect will unify the karmic luck of the Primordial World. At that time, how precious will the Daoist Sect Fortune blessing become?"

Hongjun's words caused many beings' breathing to grow heavy. Some had even begun imagining the future.

Emperor Jun's expression remained calm, because he had long since decided to participate in this great battle.

Before those mighty figures of later generations stepped onto the grand stage of the Primordial World, Emperor Jun naturally had to establish his own advantage.

More importantly, Emperor Jun felt that Hongjun's preaching would not come so easily.

"This humble Daoist shall not waste any more words. The preaching officially begins."

As soon as Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, an enormous Yin Yang Taiji Diagram emerged above Ancestor Yinyang's head and began to turn slowly.

Then the Dao of Yin Yang gradually flowed from Ancestor Yinyang's mouth. The Yin Yang Taiji Diagram above his head continuously changed along with his words, more vividly displaying his Dao of Yin Yang to everyone.

Emperor Jun immersed himself in it, continuously deducing his own Yin Yang in accordance with Ancestor Yinyang's Dao of Yin Yang.

However, the Yang energy within him was too strong. Yin Yang could not achieve balance, and he could not attain the various effects Ancestor Yinyang had described.

Emperor Jun was not discouraged by this. It could only be said that Ancestor Yinyang's Dao path was not entirely suited to him.

Even so, Emperor Jun's gains were immense, adding another portion of foundation to himself.

As Ancestor Yinyang slowly expounded his Dao, some beings whose paths aligned with Ancestor Yinyang's broke through their current realms one after another.

Time passed swiftly, and two hundred and fifty years passed just like that.

When Ancestor Yinyang's voice abruptly ceased, Emperor Jun even felt a sense of loss.

Eastern Lord Duke had gained some insight from Ancestor Yinyang's preaching, but it leaned toward Yang. After all, he had transformed from the first strand of Innate Pure Yang Energy after the creation of Heaven and Earth, and he could feel his cultivation improving.

Emperor Jun's Origin Essence was connected to the Sun Star, so he should have been similar to Eastern Lord Duke, with his insights leaning more toward Yang. However, his comprehension was exceptional, and his understanding of Yin Yang remained fairly balanced.

It was simply that he himself leaned toward Yang and could not turn all his insights into strength.

As soon as Ancestor Yinyang's voice fell silent, Ancestor Qiankun's voice rang out. This drew Emperor Jun, who had been feeling somewhat lost, into Ancestor Qiankun's preaching.

Likewise, a world evolved behind Ancestor Qiankun and appeared before them. Heaven and Earth encompassed all things.

Thus, another two hundred and fifty years hurried by, yet Emperor Jun still did not feel the passage of time.

Emperor Jun gained much insight from Ancestor Qiankun's preaching. He even felt that part of Ancestor Qiankun's Dao aligned with his own, and he had the faint sensation that he was about to break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Yet in the end, Emperor Jun still suppressed that feeling, because two Ancestors had yet to preach.

He believed these two Ancestors would bring him different surprises, especially the future Dao Ancestor, whom Emperor Jun greatly anticipated.

Likewise, Ancestor Qiankun's preaching caused many beings to break through their existing realms.

As soon as Ancestor Qiankun's voice fell silent, Ancestor Diandao immediately began preaching.

A Yin Yang Taiji Diagram also appeared behind him, but upon closer inspection, the diagram seemed to be reversed, and its rotation was different as well.

Then the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram transformed into a world. Yet Heaven and Earth within it were inverted, and all things no longer followed the natural order. Instead, everything was turned upside down, beyond ordinary reasoning.

Ancestor Diandao's Dao also immersed countless beings. Faced with the preaching of such an existence, they had no choice but to sink ever deeper into it.

However, the Dao of Inversion was not suited to most beings. Some even vomited blood, their own paths clashing with it.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun promptly treated those beings.

Fortunately, this group of beings was not highly cultivated. At most, they were merely Golden Immortals.

Those Grand Luo Golden Immortals restrained themselves and were not easily affected. Still, some Grand Luo Golden Immortals turned pale, such as Daoist Lihuo.

Inversion paid no attention to these beings' reactions and continued expounding his own Dao.

Another two hundred and fifty years passed. For some beings, this period was sheer torment.

Of course, a small number of beings were compatible with Ancestor Diandao's Dao and broke through their own realms.

An even smaller number of beings changed their own foundations because of Ancestor Diandao's preaching.

They had merely immersed themselves in Ancestor Diandao's preaching, never expecting that when they awoke, their foundations would already have changed, even into attributes opposite to their own.

Emperor Jun was likewise immersed in Ancestor Diandao's preaching. He felt that sometimes, viewing normal cultivation from an inverted perspective brought a different understanding and could better assist his cultivation.

However, he always felt that Ancestor Diandao had only spoken of the most superficial aspects.

It was not only Inversion. Ancestor Yinyang and Ancestor Qiankun before him had been the same.

He did not know whether he was mistaken or whether that was simply all there was.

Ancestor Diandao's preaching finally ended, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun began expounding his own path.

As Dao Ancestor Hongjun preached, streaks of Law appeared behind him, continuously intertwining and evolving. Upon counting them carefully, there were actually three thousand Laws.

The three thousand Laws intertwined, forming a single Dao.

Looking at the three thousand Laws before him, Emperor Jun could not help but feel astonished. As expected of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. The moment he acts, it is an enormous display.

These were Laws. Dao Ancestor Hongjun had directly manifested the Dao rhythm of the Laws he had comprehended.

Compared with the previous three Ancestors, Dao Ancestor Hongjun could truly be said to be utterly sincere.

However, during Hongjun's preaching, he seemed never to name his own Dao.

The Dao formed by these three thousand Laws was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's foundational core, yet it had no name. Did this mean Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Dao was not yet complete?

Could this be the Immortal Dao?

As Emperor Jun immersed himself in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's preaching, this thought arose in his heart.

After Hongjun became a Saint and preached at Zixiao Palace, the Immortal Dao became the mainstream of the Primordial World.

Could the Dao Dao Ancestor Hongjun was preaching now be the Immortal Dao?

This thought flashed through Emperor Jun's mind, and then he immersed himself once more in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's preaching.

It was not only Emperor Jun who became immersed in Hongjun's preaching. Nearly every being present was immersed in it.

Even those Primordial Golden Immortals and Grand Luo Golden Immortals were immersed in it.

When Ancestor Yinyang, Ancestor Qiankun, and Ancestor Diandao had preached, those Primordial Golden Immortals and some deeply cultivated Grand Luo Golden Immortals had listened, but they had basically not become immersed in it.
