Seeing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was delivering his Dao lecture, frowned slightly.
Although his disciples breaking through was a good thing.
The commotion caused by these breakthroughs was far too great.
It had already begun to interfere with his Dao lecture.
So he shifted his gaze toward Zhunti.
Zhunti's heart lurched, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun was displeased.
That was no good sign.
After all, their Buddhist Sect had only just managed to attach itself to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
If these incidents made Dao Ancestor Hongjun change his mind.
The gains would truly fail to outweigh the losses.
He hurriedly instructed his disciples, "Go prepare the spirit stone mines at once. Whatever you do, do not interfere with Dao Ancestor Hongjun's lecture."
"Keep the spiritual energy on Mount Sumeru stable, whatever the cost."
A sheen of cold sweat had formed on Sage Zhunti's forehead.
He had considered every possible mishap.
The one thing he had never considered was that even the spiritual energy could become a problem.
Who could have imagined that so many people would break through simultaneously during an ordinary Dao lecture? How could it produce a spiritual energy vortex?
This simply exceeded everyone's imagination.
Sage Jieyin frowned slightly. Looking at the gazes of the other Sages, he felt somewhat displeased.
These fellows were still so hung up on formalities.
They knew nothing of delving into methods of cultivation.
Or exploring the foundations of the Great Dao.
Instead, they paid such close attention to superficial things.
Especially Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
He clearly knew his path was wrong, yet he stubbornly clung to his views.
He refused to correct himself in the slightest.
After all, he actually had a chance to survive.
The only way was to return to his original state.
