Second Sermon in Purple Cloud Palace

Everyone's gaze fell upon Chen Xuan, wondering about his identity, that he could be treated in such a manner by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Of course, this didn't include those who knew Chen Xuan. For instance, Houtu's heart was filled with joy at this moment.

Immediately after, Dao Ancestor Hongjun began his sermon. The first sermon was about the Dao of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. This sermon was about the Dao of the Quasi-Sage.

This allowed the cultivators who had reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm but couldn't find a breakthrough opportunity to finally find a glimmer of guidance.

However, for Chen Xuan, it was like listening to a heavenly scripture; he couldn't understand a single word.

In the end, he actually fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how many years Chen Xuan slept this time.

When he woke up again, whether it was the Three Pure Ones or Nüwa, in short, everyone sitting on the futons had three flowers blooming above their heads.

Above the three flowers on Taishang Laozi's head, two Daoists who looked similar to Taishang Laozi were already sitting.

Because Taishang Laozi had already broken through to the Quasi-Sage realm before, he directly severed the two corpses of good and evil in one fell swoop, becoming the first Two-Corpse Quasi-Sage in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian, Goddess Nvwa, and others also had three flowers blooming above their heads.

Although they didn't sever the two corpses like Taishang Laozi, they all severed the good corpse from their bodies, becoming One-Corpse Quasi-Sages.

This didn't surprise Chen Xuan. After all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's second sermon was about the Dao of the Quasi-Sage.

If even these few couldn't understand the true meaning, then perhaps others were no different from himself.

At that moment, Chen Xuan's gaze began to sweep back and forth over those who didn't have futons.

First, Chen Xuan looked at Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Although these two hadn't been able to sever their corpses yet.

Their three flowers had also bloomed above their heads, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before they could successfully sever their corpses and become Quasi-Sages.

Finally, Chen Xuan's gaze fell upon the Twelve Ancestral Witches. It could be said that except for Houtu who was listening attentively, everyone else was already drowsy.

It could be said that in the entire Purple Cloud Palace, besides Chen Xuan, only the minds of the eleven Ancestral Witches were not on Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sermon.

Just like this, two thousand years passed. During these two thousand years, Chen Xuan didn't know how many times he had slept and how many times he had woken up.

When he woke up this time, he actually found that among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, except for Houtu, everyone else had already left.

This couldn't help but make Chen Xuan shake his head helplessly, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "Not cultivating the Nascent Soul but only cultivating the physical body, in the end, it's just an empty endeavor."

Just as Chen Xuan was sighing, streaks of golden light soared into the sky. One after another, several people successfully severed their corpses, including Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

At this time, Laozi had successfully severed three corpses, and Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian had also severed two corpses.

By the time Dao Ancestor Hongjun had preached for three thousand years, everyone in the Purple Cloud Palace had become Quasi-Sages.

The six people with seats, except for Goddess Nvwa, were at least at the Two-Corpse Quasi-Sage realm.

Among those without seats, there were even those who had severed two corpses. This included Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

This also represented that the Quasi-Sage era had officially begun.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice stopped abruptly, and the heavenly phenomena in the Purple Cloud Palace also disappeared.

Then Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke, "This sermon has lasted for three thousand years. What this poor Daoist has preached is the Dao of the Quasi-Sage.

In another thousand years, this poor Daoist will preach for the third time in the Purple Cloud Palace. I will preach on how to become a Saint and answer your questions."

"After you leave the Purple Cloud Palace this time, the Eastern Duke will be the lord of the male immortals in the Great Desolate, and the Western Queen Mother will be the head of the female immortals in the Great Desolate, managing the immortals in the Great Desolate on behalf of this poor Daoist."

As soon as Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, the Eastern Duke stood out with a smile on his face, bowing to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and accepting the command.

On the other hand, the Western Queen Mother's expression didn't have the same smile as the Eastern Duke. There was even a hint of worry.

Finally, both of them bowed to Dao Ancestor Hongjun at the same time, and the Eastern Duke directly said, "Please rest assured, Dao Ancestor, this disciple will definitely govern the Great Desolate well."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded, then waved his hand at everyone.

Everyone present rose and bid farewell to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, then turned and left the Purple Cloud Palace.

As they left, they didn't forget to cast different glances at the Eastern Duke and the Western Queen Mother.

Some were fawning, some were nodding in a friendly manner, some were disdainful, and some were extremely jealous.

Finally, in the entire main hall of the Purple Cloud Palace, only a handful of people remained.

"You should also return to your respective Dao Fields to cultivate. As for this Chen Xuan, he will temporarily remain in this poor Daoist's palace."

Naturally, everyone dared not have any objections. They hurriedly rose and bid farewell to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, then walked out of the Purple Cloud Palace.

As the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace closed, everyone was already standing outside the Purple Cloud Palace.

And at this time, there was another person standing outside the Purple Cloud Palace, it was Ancestral Witch Hou Tu, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Houtu walked up to the Three Pure Ones, bowed and saluted, saying, "Three Pure Ones Senior Brothers, why hasn't Chen Xuan come out?"

Tongtian directly rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know what luck that kid has, to actually be kept in the Purple Cloud Palace by Master."

Hearing that Chen Xuan was kept in the Purple Cloud Palace, a hint of disappointment instantly appeared on Houtu's face. Because this also meant that she couldn't see Chen Xuan.

She immediately nodded to Tongtian and wanted to turn and leave. But she was stopped by Goddess Nvwa.

"Sister Houtu, you're in such a hurry to see my brother Chen Xuan, may I ask why? Perhaps I, as his older sister, can also help him accomplish it."

As Goddess Nvwa spoke, she deliberately emphasized the words "brother Chen Xuan".

It was as if she was announcing to Houtu that she had patent rights over this brother Chen Xuan.

Houtu was not to be outdone and directly smiled, saying, "Brother Chen Xuan promised me that after listening to the sermon in the Purple Cloud Palace, he would come to the Witch Race to play with me.

I wonder if Sister Nvwa can substitute for brother Chen Xuan. If not, then this little sister will take her leave."

After speaking, she turned around and disappeared directly outside the Purple Cloud Palace. Goddess Nvwa was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

At this time, Fuxi came to Goddess Nvwa's side and whispered to Goddess Nvwa, "Sister, it's time for us to return to Mount Buzhou."

Goddess Nvwa nodded, then bid farewell to the Three Pure Ones and the two from the West, and followed Fuxi back to Mount Buzhou.

Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin also bid farewell and left shortly after, leaving only the Three Pure Ones still standing outside the Purple Cloud Palace.

And Yuanshi Tianzun said with a worried expression, "Chen Xuan seems to have provoked two women he shouldn't have provoked the most."

Tongtian, on the other hand, laughed heartily without a care, "Everything is determined by heaven. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Taishang Laozi shook his head, "Two Junior Brothers, do you think there's anything we need to worry about, given Master's attitude towards Chen Xuan?

So there's no need for us to worry about him. It's better to return to Kunlun Mountain early and digest the Great Dao that Master preached."
