This Ancestral Master Holds a Grudge

No one had expected that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would take Chen Xuan to the Purple Cloud Palace first, which inevitably made the Three Pure Ones a little envious, jealous, and resentful.

On the other hand, Daoist Duobao's eyes were full of little stars, and his admiration for Chen Xuan reached an even higher level.

After a sigh, Tongtian ordered Daoist Duobao to guard the Three Pure Ones' Dao Field on Kunlun Mountain.

Then, he and his two senior brothers headed towards the Purple Cloud Palace.

Chen Xuan only felt himself enveloped by a golden light. The next moment, his body lost consciousness.

When Chen Xuan could control his body again, he found himself in an ancient and simple hall.

On the main seat of the hall was a cushion, and below the main seat, six cushions were arranged in order.

Then there were steps, but no cushions were placed on the steps. It was somewhat like the stands of a football stadium in later generations.

Just as Chen Xuan was looking around, an old voice came from within the hall.

"Are you the Chen Xuan who was unwilling to take this poor Daoist as your master?"

At this, Chen Xuan didn't need to guess and instantly knew where he was.

Without a word, he knelt down with a thud towards the main seat, "Disciple's grandson greets Master Ancestor, wishing Master Ancestor boundless longevity."

"Let's not have any of that empty talk. Tell me, why did you choose to take Tongtian as your master that day and not this poor Daoist?"

Seeing Dao Ancestor Hongjun dwelling on this matter, Chen Xuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is quite vengeful.

He then organized his words and began to speak eloquently to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"What is Master Ancestor saying? This disciple's grandson would be eager to take Master Ancestor as master. But this disciple's grandson doesn't want to be called a 'Dao second generation' by others.

So after careful consideration, I chose to join the sect of my master who saved my life. This is so I won't become a 'Dao second generation' and yet still be under Master Ancestor."

"What is a 'Dao second generation'?"

"'Second generation' is synonymous with being unlearned and incompetent, only able to rely on the aura of their elders to show off.

Master Ancestor, you are the dignified Dao Ancestor. If this disciple's grandson were to take Master Ancestor as master, wouldn't that make me a genuine 'Dao second generation'?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun said expressionlessly, "According to what you're saying, wouldn't the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa all become 'Dao second generation'?"

"My master and my senior and junior uncles are truly capable and can help Master Ancestor spread the Profound School.

So they cannot be considered 'Dao second generation'. They can only be said to be the second generation disciples of the Profound School.

But this disciple's grandson is different. With this disciple's grandson's limited ability, it would be strange if I weren't considered a 'Dao second generation' by others."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded after hearing this, "I didn't expect you to be quite ambitious and unwilling to rely on this poor Daoist's status to show off.

But you did refuse this poor Daoist, so today I must punish you. Otherwise, wouldn't people laugh at this poor Daoist for not even being able to take a disciple?"

Chen Xuan had a helpless look on his face, thinking to himself how petty his Master Ancestor was.

However, he didn't dare to argue and could only look wronged like a resentful woman, "How does Master Ancestor want to punish this disciple's grandson? How about punishing this disciple's grandson to face the wall for ten years?"

"Dream on. Facing the wall for ten years, even facing the wall for a thousand years, is not enough to quell the hatred in this poor Daoist's heart."

After Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, he waved his hand at Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan's body flew out like a cannonball.

Then it hit a pillar in the main hall and bounced back. Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand again and sent him flying out again.

Bouncing back, flying out, bouncing back, flying out...

Chen Xuan was like a ping pong ball, being batted back and forth between Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the pillars of the Purple Cloud Palace's main hall.

Finally, Chen Xuan felt that the bones in his body were completely shattered.

His meridians were already torn into sections, and he was on the verge of death.

Just as Chen Xuan thought he was about to die, Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, and a golden light instantly flew into Chen Xuan's Mud Pill Palace.

Immediately after, Chen Xuan's body began to slowly recover under the nourishment of the golden light.

The bones that had been smashed into powder began to regrow. The broken meridians reconnected.

When everything returned to normal, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had broken through to the sixth revolution, which meant that Chen Xuan had become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

At this moment, Chen Xuan finally understood that Dao Ancestor Hongjun wasn't punishing him at all. He was clearly helping him in his own way.

He immediately knelt down again, "Thank you, Ancestral Master, for your guidance. Now that this disciple has become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it is all thanks to Ancestral Master.

In the future, as long as Ancestral Master has need of this disciple, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water, and I will have no complaints about climbing a mountain of knives or descending into a pot of oil."

"I have no need for you to do anything. Just cause less trouble for my Profound School in the future.

They have been waiting outside the Purple Cloud Palace for a while now. Go open the door and let them in."

The great powers from all sides had already arrived outside the Purple Cloud Palace. The Three Pure Ones had arrived even earlier and were standing outside the Purple Cloud Palace.

However, the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace was tightly shut. Haotian and Yaochi stood on either side of the Purple Cloud Palace gate.

The gate of the Purple Cloud Palace was not open, but no one dared to push the door and enter the Purple Cloud Palace. They didn't even dare to step forward and knock on the door.

Finally, Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti, who had traveled the furthest, arrived, but the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace remained tightly shut.

"Senior Brother Taishang, since you have arrived, why don't you enter the Purple Cloud Palace? Could it be that you are waiting for us two junior brothers?" Daoist Zhunti said to Taishang Laozi with a smile.

One must say that this Daoist Zhunti was truly shameless enough. As soon as they met, he elevated his status to the extreme.

He actually said that the Three Pure Ones and everyone else outside the Purple Cloud Palace were waiting for the two of them.

Before Taishang Laozi could speak, Tongtian, who was standing nearby, spoke first, "Junior Brother Zhunti is right. This poor Daoist and everyone else are waiting for you two junior brothers.

Since you two junior brothers have arrived, please step forward and open the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace."

As he spoke, Tongtian also made a gesture of invitation towards Daoist Zhunti.

This caused the smile on Daoist Zhunti's face to instantly freeze. Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to push the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace.

He had originally wanted to gain some advantage verbally, but unfortunately, he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

This scene also made the other guests of the Purple Cloud Palace suppress their laughter. If they weren't standing outside the Purple Cloud Palace at this moment, they would probably have already burst into laughter.

Just at this moment, the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace opened from the inside. Chen Xuan's figure also appeared before everyone.

"Ancestor Master has issued a decree, summoning all Martial Uncles and Martial Aunts to enter the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao."

Chen Xuan shouted with all his might, afraid that his voice was too low for others to hear.

He then stepped forward to the Three Pure Ones, and followed Master Tongtian back into the Purple Cloud Palace.

At the same time, he didn't forget to nod to Goddess Nvwa and Fuxi. He also showed a bright smile to the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, everyone took their seats in order according to their positions from the last time they listened to the Dao. Chen Xuan also stood behind Tongtian.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand and added a cushion behind Tongtian.

"From now on, when Chen Xuan comes to the Purple Cloud Palace, he will sit here."
