Defying Comprehension, Creating the Grand Destiny Art, Shocking Lord Tongtian — Chapter 15

It seemed Lord Tongtian valued Hongxuan far more than they had imagined!

As elite Outer Sect Disciples, the Three Xiao Sisters held no low status.

Moreover, with the care of Zhao Gongming, the senior brother of the Outer Sect, their seats were quite near the front.

Therefore, despite Hongxuan's low strength, he was given a decent spot to listen to the Dao.

"Silence. The Sect Leader's sermon begins!"

One of the Water Fire Attendants beside Lord Tongtian gave a sharp cry.

At once, the entire Daoist hall fell silent.

Lord Tongtian suddenly appeared atop the cloud platform.

His figure was shrouded in profound Dao essence, making him impossible to see clearly.

The next moment, auspicious clouds swirled throughout the entire hall, golden flowers rained down in profusion, Dao essence surged, and countless wondrous phenomena emerged.

"Disciples pay respects to Master!"

The disciples all bowed in salute.

Lord Tongtian said nothing further. Decisive as ever, he immediately began expounding the Great Dao.

For a time, the entire place of preaching was filled with boundless spiritual essence and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

With every word he spoke, manifestations of the Dao appeared.

The sight was truly magnificent, interwoven with profound traces of laws.

The immortals of the Jie Sect paid no attention to these phenomena, instead immersing themselves entirely in the Great Dao.

This was also Hongxuan's first time listening to a Sage preach the Dao. Countless supreme truths of the Great Dao opened themselves before him, drawing him in completely.

This was utterly unlike when the Three Xiao Sisters had explained the Dao to him.

The experience could not be compared at all.

You listened to a Sage preach the Dao and comprehended its profound truths. Your Defying Comprehension talent has been triggered. Your understanding of the Great Dao has advanced another step!

Countless profound insights lingered in his heart.

His Dao cultivation and mana soared madly, his primordial spirit became ever more pure and lucid, and his physical body grew even more condensed.

Even many of the divine abilities and wondrous arts he had created began to transform once more as his understanding of the Great Dao deepened.

Time flew by.

The five hundred years of listening to the Dao seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

Lord Tongtian, seated upon the cloud platform, also ceased his sermon and silently gazed at the immortals below.

Before long, the immortals of the Jie Sect began to awaken one after another, their faces filled with lingering yearning.

Quite a few even looked at Lord Tongtian with resentment in their eyes.

They wished the Sect Leader would continue preaching forever and let them listen to their hearts' content.

Naturally, Lord Tongtian simply ignored them.

Hongxuan also came to his senses, excitement appearing on his face.

The gains from this sermon had surpassed all his expectations.

There had been far more problems he had never noticed before than he had imagined.

Although he had previously believed his foundation to be solid and stable, this sermon had still revealed many flaws.

Fortunately, with his Defying Comprehension, he continuously gained insight and corrected them.

His gains were immense.

This systematic session of listening to the Dao made his foundation increasingly solid and comprehensive.

The benefits might not yet be apparent, but the help it would provide in the future far exceeded his imagination.

"Hongxuan, you've already reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm? You're just a step away from breaking through to the Profound Immortal Realm!?"

Bixiao turned around and glanced at Hongxuan, nearly crying out in shock.

Wasn't this rate of improvement far too fast?

The True Immortal Realm was not like the mortal stage, nor was it like the Celestial Immortal stage.

The difficulty of breakthroughs should have risen sharply.

Yet he had reached perfection in merely five hundred years?

Judging by Hongxuan's condition, his mana seemed exceptionally stable and refined, without the slightest hint of superficiality.

He would probably break through again before long!

"This sermon was incredibly rewarding. If I hadn't deliberately suppressed myself, I really might have broken through to the Profound Immortal Realm."

"I still want to stabilize myself for a while longer before breaking through."

Bixiao rolled her eyes at Hongxuan irritably, then stopped paying attention to him.

The other immortals in the hall naturally heard the exchange between Bixiao and Hongxuan and could not help giving Hongxuan a long look.

To be able to suppress the urge to break through a realm—such temperament was extraordinary indeed.

On the path of immortal cultivation, every breakthrough in realm was an evolution of one's life level.

At the verge of a breakthrough, that instinctive desire for evolution was not something everyone could overcome.

Yet Hongxuan could suppress that instinctive longing merely to stabilize his foundation.

His temperament was clear for all to see.

Though his cultivation was somewhat low, many still regarded him more highly because of it.

Lord Tongtian, seated on the cloud platform, also gave Hongxuan a deep look, though he said nothing.

He had already calculated that a future opportunity of the Jie Sect would fall upon this child.

Coupled with his extraordinary potential, Lord Tongtian had originally intended to accept him directly as a personal disciple.

However, after careful consideration, he ultimately abandoned the idea.

He would only treat him as an ordinary disciple of the Jie Sect for now.

Once he truly matured in the future, it would not be too late to promote him.

Without sufficient strength, becoming a personal disciple of the Jie Sect would bring disaster rather than fortune.

Cultivation, wisdom, opportunities, luck, and temperament were all extremely important.

Of course, Lord Tongtian was also looking forward to Hongxuan's future performance.

He had even originally planned to bestow a Dharma treasure upon Hongxuan when he joined the sect.

Now, it seemed there was no need.

Once he became a personal disciple in the future, it would not be too late to grant it to him then.

If Hongxuan perished midway, that would only prove he was unworthy of cultivation and not worth any attention.

Not only Hongxuan—Lord Tongtian also looked deeply at Yunxiao.

Refining the Ancient Tree of Life would bring immeasurable benefits to her future.

Not only would it better assist her in comprehending the Great Dao, it could even suppress luck.

At the same time, with the "special" Hongxuan helping her, Yunxiao's future was likewise immeasurable.

The Quasi-Sage Realm was within reach.

He wanted to see what Yunxiao's future fate would become because of Hongxuan.

Lord Tongtian was greatly looking forward to it.

"Alright, if you have any doubts next, feel free to ask. I will answer them one by one!"

At once, the four great personal disciples, the Seven Attendant Immortals, and many Outer Sect Disciples began voicing the questions and confusion in their hearts one after another.

Lord Tongtian answered every one of them in detail.

As for Hongxuan, he did not ask any questions.

At his current realm, the Three Xiao Sisters could easily answer any doubts he had.

Even so, he still learned quite a bit from the questions and answers taking place now.

It was far more efficient than asking questions himself.

Several years later, the entire question-and-answer session came to an end.

"This sermon is concluded. The next sermon will be held ten thousand years from now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Tongtian lightly flicked his sleeve.

Everyone was instantly transported outside Biyou Palace.
