Hongxuan had concealed his tracks from the very beginning of his journey and even obscured his own Heavenly Secret.
As long as he did not get too close and remained cautious,
he simply could not be detected.
Of course, Hongxuan would not foolishly court death at such a critical moment.
He would not casually provoke those two great forces.
Besides,
he still remembered that he had the blood feud of a slain son with the Demon Race's Nine-Infant Demon Saint!
Although the other party did not yet know that he was the culprit,
who knew whether some bizarre divine ability in the Primordial Wilderness might trace it back to him?
Before he possessed sufficient strength, it was better to avoid coming face-to-face with them.
"Tut, Grand Golden Immortals are everywhere, and there are quite a few Grand Luo Golden Immortals too."
"Both sides have even dispatched Quasi-Sages."
"It seems the day Dijun and the Duke of the East fight to the death is not far off!"
"A mere Golden Immortal like me would probably be wiped out by the battle's aftershocks if I got even a little closer!"
This was not a place to linger.
He had better get out of here quickly.
After glancing at the Nine-Infant Demon Saint, who was fighting most frenziedly at the heart of the battlefield, he etched the sight deeply into his mind and secretly remained on guard.
Then he passed through the battlefield and hurried toward Golden Turtle Island.
He also wanted to watch the final battle between the Demon Race and the Purple Palace.
Unfortunately, Lord Tongtian's sermon was about to begin, and his cultivation was insufficient. He could easily be caught up in it.
It seemed he would have to miss this spectacular battle.
Golden Turtle Island.
"What is going on? Master is about to give his sermon. Why has that brat Hongxuan not arrived yet?"
Bixiao kept looking beyond Golden Turtle Island, unable to hide the anxiety on her face.
"He should be on his way back."
"The Demon Race and the Purple Palace are currently at war in the East Sea region. Hongxuan must have been delayed."
Yunxiao was somewhat worried as well.
If he missed this sermon from the Sect Leader, it would be an enormous regret.
"Eh? Eldest Sister, Third Sister, Hongxuan has arrived." With her sharp eyes, Qiong Xiao immediately cheered.
A streak of light cut through the sky.
The next moment, a familiar figure appeared before the Three Xiao Sisters.
"Sister Yunxiao, Sister Qiong Xiao, Sister Bixiao, it has been several thousand years. I hope you have all been well!"
"Hmph, brat, I thought you were going to miss this sermon!"
Hongxuan smiled awkwardly and immediately took out three specially made jade plaques, handing them over.
"It was my fault for making you three sisters worry."
"Oh, right. These are little trinkets I specially refined over the years. They allow long-distance voice calls and even video conversations."
"From now on, no matter how far apart we are, we can stay in contact promptly."
With Hongxuan's comprehension, he had invented quite a few little items over the years.
Though they were not especially powerful, each had its own considerable use.
The items he had just taken out were inventions modeled after the mobile phones of his previous life.
At the same time, an idea surfaced in Hongxuan's heart once more.
However, after thinking it over, he decided to consider it only once his strength had grown further.
The Three Xiao Sisters immediately understood the items' purpose and accepted them with peace of mind.
"Dong!"
Just as the Three Xiao Sisters were about to ask Hongxuan about his experiences and travels in the Primordial Wilderness over the past years,
suddenly,
a bell rang out.
The time for the Sect Leader's sermon had arrived.
The four of them did not delay and immediately headed toward Biyou Palace.
The palace gates stood wide open.
The Three Xiao Sisters and Hongxuan entered in order.
Hongxuan still sat in his original seat.
Compared to last time, many Jie Sect disciples had found it hard to accept.
This time, however, they were much calmer.
Ten thousand years had passed.
The mere True Immortal of old had leaped straight to the current perfection of the Golden Immortal realm.
Such progress truly made people jealous and envious.
With this child's talent, he would surely become a Grand Golden Immortal before long.
He would then stand at the same realm as them.
Which one of them had not undergone hundreds of thousands, even millions, of years of cultivation to attain their present realm?
Who knew how many hardships they had endured along the way?
But now?
A Human Race brat could stand shoulder to shoulder with them after merely ten thousand years.
Envy, gratification, surprise, astonishment, jealousy, unwillingness, resentment—there was no end to it.
What could not be denied was that Hongxuan was now qualified to sit where he sat.
"The Sect Leader's sermon begins. Silence!"
In an instant, the hall fell silent.
At the same time, Lord Tongtian's figure appeared.
Without wasting any words, he began to teach.
As the profound Great Dao emerged, the immortals of the Jie Sect immediately sank into comprehension one after another.
Hongxuan naturally began comprehending frantically as well.
His heaven-defying comprehension triggered, and Hongxuan's understanding of the Great Dao reached an unimaginable level.
His Dao attainment rose wildly.
His realm, already at the perfection of the Golden Immortal realm, grew ever more stable and refined.
Both his physical body and primordial spirit reached the absolute limit of Golden Immortal perfection.
"Buzz!"
A thunderous explosion rang out in Hongxuan's mind as a certain shackle and bottleneck shattered.
The next moment,
endless profound insights flooded into his heart.
At the same time, the aura of a Grand Golden Immortal spread outward.
Noble golden radiance seemed ready to illuminate the entire sermon hall.
The commotion caused by Hongxuan's astonishing transformation was especially great.
It instantly awakened every Jie Sect immortal in the hall.
One after another, they stared at him in shock and envy.
Their emotions could not settle for a long while.
He had broken through just like that?
Ten thousand years ago, he had only been a True Immortal. Now he had crossed several major realms in one leap and advanced into Grand Golden Immortal.
Wasn't this cultivation speed far too fast?
Naturally, Hongxuan knew none of this. He remained immersed in his own comprehension of the Great Dao.
