That disciple couldn't help but be stunned. He had already prepared himself for death. He never expected there would be a turning point.

Chen Xuan didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly, "First, let me cripple your Supreme Purity Immortal Technique. From now on, you will have no connection with the Three Pure Ones."

After thinking for a moment, that disciple made up his mind.

"Please tell me the second option, Eldest Senior Brother. This junior brother gives up the first option."

Making such a decision was risky, because the second option could be death. But it could also be hope.

Now, the Great Desolate Land was full of conflicts. Surviving in the Great Desolate Land by oneself was definitely not easy.

Seeing the determined expression on that disciple's face, Chen Xuan nodded again.

"You made a mistake in this life and cannot go unpunished. In the next life, you can re-enter the Three Pure Ones Sect."

Chen Xuan's words left everyone puzzled. Even Daoist Duobao didn't understand what the next life meant.

After all, Houtu had not yet transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so the concept of reincarnation had not yet formed.

Chen Xuan didn't offer any explanation, but continued to ask, "Are you willing?"

After a period of internal struggle, that disciple flew and crashed into the Door Rules Stone Tablet behind Chen Xuan.

With a muffled thud, that disciple lost his breath. His body also transformed into his original form, which turned out to be a black panther.

This gave Chen Xuan a sense of déjà vu. He immediately waved his hand and collected its True Spirit.

"Today I will seal your True Spirit. If there is an opportunity, I will let you be reborn. That will be the time when I fulfill today's promise and let you return to the Three Pure Ones Sect."

After speaking, Chen Xuan placed the black panther's True Spirit into the Profound Origin Water Control Banner.

Meanwhile, in the Purple Cloud Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun began to preach the Great Dao for the last three hundred years.

After preaching for about a hundred years, Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti stumbled back to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't say anything and directly let them sit down and listen.

It was better not to listen, because listening made the two of them regret it even more. What Dao Ancestor Hongjun was preaching now was much more detailed than before.

Two hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice finally stopped.

"A thousand years from now, this poor Daoist will merge with the Dao. At that time, you can all come to observe the ceremony."

After speaking, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's figure disappeared from the Purple Cloud Palace. Everyone quickly got up to respectfully see off Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Then they left the Purple Cloud Palace separately, each returning to their Dao Field to comprehend the Great Dao they had heard in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Just as everyone was leaving, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's figure reappeared in the Purple Cloud Palace.

And looking in the direction Fuxi and Goddess Nvwa left, he shook his head, "Even a junior like Chen Xuan knows what it means to be unable to bear the blessings. It's a pity that you, Fuxi, don't understand."

Fuxi naturally couldn't hear Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words, otherwise it would definitely make him doubt his life.

When the Three Pure Ones returned to Kunlun Mountain, they happened to see Chen Xuan preaching to his junior brothers and sisters.

Taishang Laozi reached out and stopped Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian.

"Don't you want to hear what Dao method Chen Xuan is teaching?"

The two, who were in a hurry to return to Kunlun Mountain, also stopped at this moment and nodded to Taishang Laozi.

They then stopped in mid-air, secretly listening to Chen Xuan's lecture.

The Dao that Chen Xuan taught was not profound; it could even be described as simple and unadorned.

However, the help it provided to his junior brothers and sisters was probably more useful than Dao Ancestor Hongjun's lecture on the Saint's Path.

This was because what Chen Xuan was teaching at this time was the orthodox Profound School Dao, and it was the Golden Immortal Dao most suitable for everyone.

Finally, Chen Xuan's voice stopped, and he stood up and said, "I have lectured for you for three hundred years. Have you gained anything during these three hundred years?"

Daoist Duobao was the first to step forward. "Eldest Senior Brother, although Duo Bao's cultivation has long reached the Grand Golden Immortal realm.

However, before the Grand Golden Immortal realm, I cultivated based on my own intuition. My foundation was not stable at all.

Now, after listening to Eldest Senior Brother's lecture on the Golden Immortal Great Dao, Duo Bao's foundation has been strengthened again.

Now Duo Bao has reached the peak of the Grand Golden Immortal realm. As long as the opportunity arrives, I can attain the Great Luo Dao."

Chen Xuan nodded with satisfaction and looked at the others again.

Everyone spoke up, expressing that they had gained a lot. They also performed the half-master's ritual/courtesy to Chen Xuan, thanking Eldest Senior Brother for the grace of his lecture.

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones in mid-air nodded to each other, and Tongtian's face was filled with smiles.

He then flashed his figure and appeared before the disciples.

This caused everyone to immediately kneel down and perform the kneeling ritual to Tongtian.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to perform the kneeling ritual, he was stopped by Tongtian.

Then Tongtian spoke to the disciples, "What your Eldest Senior Brother taught is the orthodox Profound School Dao. You must study it carefully and not disappoint your Eldest Senior Brother's expectations."

After speaking, he reached out, picked up Chen Xuan, and headed towards Shangqing Palace.

Seeing Chen Xuan being carried into Shangqing Palace as if he were a little chick or duck.

When those disciples saw this scene, they immediately chose to ignore it. They desperately indicated that they hadn't seen anything.

Taishang Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun also shook their heads helplessly, and then each returned to their own Dao Fields to go into seclusion.

In Shangqing Palace, Chen Xuan said with a wronged expression, "Master, can't you give me, your senior brother, some face in front of my junior brothers and sisters?"

"Stop being so glib with me. Speak."

"Speak about what? If Master thinks this disciple shouldn't lecture them, then this disciple will never lecture again."

"You've been pretending to be confused with me for a long time. Why didn't you take a magic treasure on Treasure Distribution Cliff, but instead sat there foolishly?

Knowing that Master would still lecture for three hundred years, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Chen Xuan hadn't expected that Tongtian would ask about these two things.

He immediately chuckled and sat down directly beside Tongtian.

While massaging Tongtian's legs, he said, "Before that, this disciple had already been to the Treasure Distribution Cliff once, and I've taken almost all the magic treasures I should take.

This time, Ancestor sent this disciple to the Treasure Distribution Cliff again, not to let this disciple take any magic treasures, but to test this disciple's character.

Even if this disciple had taken one of the magic treasures, I'm afraid that Treasure Distribution Cliff would no longer belong to this disciple.

As for why this disciple didn't listen to Ancestor's last three hundred years of preaching, Master, do you think this disciple is qualified?"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, Tongtian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. "Yes, even Jieyin and Zhunti from the West listened for a hundred years less.

With your status, you indeed aren't qualified to listen to these three hundred years of the Great Dao."

Seeing that Tongtian had understood, a brighter smile appeared on Chen Xuan's face.

"I knew Master is smart and understands with just a hint. Now, Master, do you think this disciple did nothing wrong?

Oh, right, Master, you've just returned. From now on, your disciples will have to be taught by you. This disciple has something to do and needs to go to the Great Desolate Land."

After speaking, he stood up and bowed to Tongtian, then immediately turned into a mist of water and disappeared.

Seeing Chen Xuan run faster than a rabbit, Tongtian was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"You brat, just you wait. Sooner or later, I'll let you know the consequences of being lazy."
