Purple qi appeared between heaven and earth.
Beneath the swirling purple qi, a majestic figure gradually emerged, half-hidden and half-revealed.
Its features could not be seen clearly.
Chaotic aura churned around its body.
"Boom!"
The next instant, a terrifying Saint's aura erupted with a thunderous roar.
In an instant, boundless imposing pressure blanketed the entire Primordial Land!
Beneath that overwhelming pressure, the spiritual veins of the Primordial Land resonated, and living beings of every race all fell to their knees in worship.
Even Quasi-Saint experts were no exception.
At Kunlun Mountain.
After seeing the figure manifest within the Void, the Three Pure Ones' eyes turned reverent, and they knelt in worship as one.
Under that pressure, Qin Mu unconsciously dropped to his knees.
"Th-this is a Saint's aura?"
"The Three Pure Ones have yet to become Saints."
"Then the only possible owner of this aura is Hongjun!"
Qin Mu quickly came to the conclusion.
At this time, the only person who could manifest his sanctity in the Primordial Land was Hongjun alone.
"Saints are far too powerful."
"With merely a wisp of their imposing pressure, even Quasi-Saints cannot resist."
Qin Mu murmured in awe.
Just then, Hongjun's projected figure in the Void slowly spoke.
"I am Hongjun."
"In the near future, I will begin my third lecture at Zixiao Palace."
"All those with affinity may come and listen!"
As his words fell, they rolled like crashing thunder, resounding throughout the entire Primordial World.
Immediately afterward, the figure enshrouded in purple qi gradually faded away, along with that terrifying Saint's pressure.
"Whew..."
Qin Mu let out a long breath, feeling as though a great weight had been lifted from him.
"The third lecture?"
"Then the Three Pure Ones are already Hongjun's disciples."
"And the future Saint Positions have already been decided."
Qin Mu thought to himself.
He naturally knew that when Hongjun became a Saint, he had already held the first lecture at Zixiao Palace.
At that time, six Cattail Mats had been placed within Zixiao Palace's Dao field.
The Great Dao flowed upon the mats. One glance was enough to tell that they were extraordinary.
Nuwa and Fuxi had arrived first. Fuxi was skilled in the art of deduction and knew that he had no affinity with the Cattail Mats.
Thus, he let Nuwa choose one of the mats, while he himself remained at Nuwa's side to protect her.
Later, the Three Pure Ones arrived. As Pangu's Primordial Spirit divided into three, they considered themselves the orthodox lineage, and each claimed a Cattail Mat.
After that, Old Ancestor Hongyun and Kunpeng arrived.
The two each occupied a Cattail Mat as well.
Later, Hongyun yielded his seat, while Yuanshi kicked Kunpeng away with one foot.
Thus, the final two Cattail Mats fell into the hands of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti of the West.
During this first lecture, Hongjun mainly expounded upon the Dao of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
This included condensing the seeds of laws at the Golden Immortal realm, cultivating the Five Qi within the chest at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, and the eternal nature of space and time possessed by Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
By the time of the second lecture.
Hongjun's teachings involved the path beyond Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, such as the Quasi-Saint realm.
Now, Hongjun's third lecture was about to begin.
Others did not know it, but Qin Mu understood it extremely well.
This lecture would focus on the Saint realm, emphasizing the five movements of Yin Yang and the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
Beyond that, Saint Positions would be distributed, along with Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Foundation of the Great Dao.
At the same time, Hongjun would distribute Numinous Treasures at Treasure-Distribution Rock.
Many Primordial Artifacts, such as the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram, would be handed out to his disciples.
And Hongjun himself would merge his body with the Heavenly Dao.
"Hongjun's third lecture is a Great Opportunity!"
"A thousand years ago, when the Three Pure Ones' Dao Discussion began, Red Packets appeared."
"Now that Hongjun's Third Lecture is about to begin, perhaps Red Packets will refresh again as well!"
With that thought, Qin Mu's gaze immediately turned burning hot, and he hurriedly looked toward Sect Master Tongtian.
At this moment, Sect Master Tongtian and the other Three Pure Ones had already risen from the ground.
"Teacher's third lecture is about to begin."
"Perhaps this time, there will be a Sagehood Opportunity!"
Taishang Laojun said with a sigh.
Sect Master Tongtian and Yuanshi nodded, anticipation written across their faces.
At this, Qin Mu pursed his lips and looked earnestly at Sect Master Tongtian.
"Master, when you go to listen to the Dao this time, could you take me with you?"
Hearing Qin Mu's request, Sect Master Tongtian was slightly taken aback, his expression thoughtful.
After considering it briefly, he nodded slightly and replied.
"Very well!"
"I'll take you along to broaden your horizons."
Seeing Sect Master Tongtian agree, Qin Mu was overjoyed.
Just then, Yuanshi frowned slightly and spoke.
"Third Brother, isn't this inappropriate?"
"Qin Mu has only just reached the Golden Immortal realm. Those who can enter Zixiao Palace are at least Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals!"
At Yuanshi's words, Sect Master Tongtian froze, growing somewhat troubled.
Seeing this, Qin Mu hurriedly said.
"Master."
"Hongjun Dao Ancestor just said that all those with affinity may go and listen to this lecture."
"If I can enter Zixiao Palace, then I am naturally one of those with affinity."
"It has little to do with my cultivation level."
Before Sect Master Tongtian could answer, Taishang Laojun nodded and gave a soft hum.
"Qin Mu is right."
"Teacher previously said that all those with affinity may go to Zixiao Palace and listen."
"He did not mention any other restrictions."
"Besides, so what if he is a Golden Immortal? He is the First Disciple of us Three Pure Ones!"
Hearing this, Sect Master Tongtian nodded in agreement.
"Elder Brother speaks truly!"
"Qin Mu, this time, you will accompany us Three Pure Ones to Zixiao Palace and listen to the lecture."
Qin Mu was delighted and nodded repeatedly. "Thank you, Master!"
Yuanshi, standing nearby, did not dwell on it. Since Taishang and Tongtian had both said so, it was not convenient for him to argue further.
Next, the four did not delay. They rose directly into the air and flew toward Zixiao Palace.
Zixiao Palace lay beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
To reach Zixiao Palace, one had to cross the Thirty-Three Heavens.
And the current Heavenly Realm was occupied by the Demon Race.
If other living beings wished to fly across the Thirty-Three Heavens and enter Zixiao Palace, they would naturally be suppressed and blocked by the Demon Race.
But the Three Pure Ones were different.
They were Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, Quasi-Saints in cultivation. No one dared provoke them!
Very quickly, carried by the Three Pure Ones, Qin Mu entered the First Heaven.
The First Heaven was the Cloud Sea Thunder Pool.
The instant they entered, countless astral winds howled toward them head-on.
Beyond that, tens of thousands of Thunder Flood Dragons lunged out from the sea of clouds.
Seeing this, Sect Master Tongtian traced the air with his sword fingers. Terrifying Sword Qi spread out, instantly piercing through the Astral Wind Layer. After sensing the Three Pure Ones' aura, the Thunder Flood Dragons all retreated!
Thus, led by the Three Pure Ones, Qin Mu soon arrived at the Thirty-Three Heavens, at the Chaos Boundary.
Once they left this stretch of heaven, they would enter the Chaotic Void.
Zixiao Palace would not be far away then.
It really is better to follow powerful people!
Without any backing, crossing the Thirty-Three Heavens this quickly would probably be impossible.
Qin Mu inwardly sighed.
He naturally knew that if he were alone, his Golden Immortal cultivation would make it utterly impossible for him to cross the Thirty-Three Heavens.
But with the Three Pure Ones beside him, it was a different matter entirely.
There were many mighty experts among the Demon Race, yet none dared provoke the Three Pure Ones.
Before long, the Three Pure Ones led Qin Mu across the Chaos Boundary and stepped straight into Chaos.
