Primordial Era: I am a gourd vine, starting with seven gourds combined into one.

After everyone sat down, neither Lin Yang nor Yang Mei on the platform spoke, as if they were waiting for something.

At this moment, Haotian and Yaochi also entered Zixiao Palace, bowed to Lin Yang on the platform, and were about to speak when Lin Yang waved his hand and said, "There are still fellow Daoists who have not arrived. You may wait for them."

Haotian originally wanted to apologize to Lin Yang, but upon hearing this, he was surprised to find that someone else had not arrived.

They quickly returned to the door with Yaochi and continued to wait.

And so, the two waited outside for a long time before they saw two beams of light fly into the Chaos Heaven, which then transformed into two Taoists.

Both were thin and emaciated, like bamboo poles, with sallow complexions. One had his hair tied in two buns and was holding a tree branch, while the other had his hands empty and his hair tied in a single bun.

"Master must be waiting for these two." Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance, understanding the situation, and quickly went to greet them, saying, "Senior brothers, why are you so late?"

Upon hearing this, the two Taoist priests were greatly alarmed and hurriedly asked, "We, Zhunti and my senior brother Jieyin, have been traveling at breakneck speed, but we encountered some danger in the chaos. Fortunately, we managed to escape, but we are late. My fellow disciples, has the sage already begun his sermon?"

Seeing that the two were quite polite, unlike the previous powerful figures who had been so rude, Haotian couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards them. He smiled and said, "Not at all, senior brothers. The master specifically ordered us to wait for you here."

"The sage is merciful!" Jieyin and Zhunti felt a warmth in their hearts upon hearing this and said gratefully.

Haotian and Yaochi dared not delay, lest they miss the appointed time. They quickly welcomed the two into Zixiao Palace and led them to the Dao Platform, where they reported to Lin Yang, "Master, these two senior brothers have also arrived."

Lin Yang nodded and first said to Haotian, "You can close the door now."

Haotian and Yaochi then hurriedly closed the gates of Zixiao Palace.

Lin Yang continued to scrutinize the two Taoists, and found that, as the legends said, neither of them were particularly honest.

The Guide Daoist was somewhat more restrained, but the Zhunti Daoist, after entering the Zixiao Palace, kept his eyes darting around, clearly indicating that he wasn't up to any good.

However, Lin Yang understood the two of them; the path to cultivation was inherently about using any means necessary.

It's not a matter of who's shameless and who's noble; the one who survives and goes further is the true one.

Then, Lin Yang pointed and saw that two more futons had appeared next to Fuxi.

Lin Yang said, "You two have some connection with me, so please sit down here."

Jieyin and Zhunti were overjoyed and quickly thanked Lin Yang before sitting down on the prayer mat.

The other cultivators who didn't get to sit on the prayer mats were extremely envious of the two of them.

They all taste sour.

After all, they are all here to listen to the sermon. Why shouldn't they have seats? At least those who rushed to sit down should have some sense of order.

But you two arrived late, yet you were still granted seats by the Sage. How can you explain this?

However, compared to the sour feelings in everyone's hearts, Jieyin and Zhunti were extremely heartened at this moment. Just now, when they heard the two boys outside say that the sage was waiting for them, they were somewhat skeptical.

Now they completely believed it, but they also vaguely understood why they were being treated with such courtesy.

This is probably related to the Great Calamity of the West, which was the previous Great Calamity, the battle between the saint Lin Yang and the so-called Demon Ancestor Rahu.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu transformed the entire West into his own demon realm. As long as one of the beings he had demonized survived, he would never perish.

Therefore, Lin Yang used ruthless methods to wipe out all living beings in the entire western land.

This is the great calamity of the West, a true catastrophe.

However, this great calamity was considered to have ended back then, since a great calamity was brought upon Lin Yang, and Lin Yang completely withstood it.

Thus, cause and effect are naturally eliminated, and there's nothing more to say.

But Jieyin and Zhunti never expected that even though Lin Yang had eliminated their past karma and karmic causes, he would still treat them with such courtesy, which showed how benevolent Lin Yang was.

He truly deserves to be called a saint!

Indeed, Jieyin and Zhunti are two great beings from the West.

At this moment, Lin Yang ignored what everyone thought, glanced around at the many powerful figures in Zixiao Palace, shook his head, and then waved his sleeve.

Suddenly, the void twisted, and twelve figures fell from it one after another.

The twelve figures landed in the Purple Cloud Palace, their expressions changed instantly, and they were about to flee in panic.

Suddenly, a powerful aura enveloped them, immobilizing the twelve people.

Lin Yang looked at the twelve people and laughed, "Gentlemen, don't run away."

"You are all people who are destined to hear my sermon. As for the past, it will be explained after the sermon."

These twelve people were none other than the twelve Ancestral Witches.

After hearing Lin Yang's words, the Twelve Ancestral Witches knew they couldn't resist. They exchanged glances with the people occupying the prayer mats in front of them and then calmed down.

Lin Yang didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, another row of prayer cushions appeared, making a total of twelve, which he then had the twelve Ancestral Witches sit down on.

There were now three rows of prayer cushions. In the first row, Wang Shu, Yuan Feng, and Zu Long sat down.

The second row of prayer cushions had thirteen cushions in total. Seated on them were Xuanfeng, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Minghe, Kunpeng, Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, the Queen Mother of the West, Fuxi, as well as Jieyin and Zhunti.

The third row of prayer cushions, twelve in total, are for the twelve ancestral witches.

After seeing that the twelve Ancestral Witches had also sat down, Lin Yang nodded slightly and said, "From now on, this will be the seating arrangement."

Everyone quickly agreed, then stood up in unison and bowed to Lin Yang, saying, "We greet the Sage of Creation."

Lin Yang nodded and gestured to Yang Mei beside him, saying, "This is the Great Immortal Yang Mei. Although he is not a saint, he has attained the Primordial Chaos Realm and attained enlightenment a hundred years earlier than me. You have all come to pay your respects."

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly surprised and hurriedly bowed to Yang Mei, saying, "We greet the Great Immortal Yang Mei."

Yang Mei smiled but didn't say anything more.

Lin Yang then had everyone sit back on the prayer mats and said, "This sermon will be divided into three parts, each lasting three thousand years. Whether you gain anything depends on your individual comprehension."

After saying that, Lin Yang ignored everyone and began to preach.

All that could be heard was the sound of the Great Dao, as if returning to simplicity, without the slightest extravagance. In the Purple Cloud Palace, there were no strange phenomena, no celestial maidens scattering flowers, no golden lotuses springing from the ground, no rosy clouds, and no auspicious colors. It was as if the Great Dao was the simplest of all.

All that remains is a torrent of primordial chaos energy, so pure and refined that with a single breath it flows into countless acupoints throughout the body, easily refined, enhancing magical power, improving supernatural abilities, tempering the physical body, and even greatly benefiting the primordial spirit.

However, compared to these minor improvements, what captivated everyone even more was the philosophy Lin Yang expounded.

Lin Yang's own Dao contains countless Great Daos within it, with the myriad Daos converging to form chaos, and the chaos further dividing into infinite Great Daos, which can be described as profound and mysterious.

When he began his lecture, Lin Yang held nothing back, explaining various great principles from the basics to the advanced, ensuring that everyone gained something. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who did not cultivate their primordial spirit but only their physical bodies, still had their physical cultivation involved in Lin Yang's teachings.

In particular, when the Twelve Ancestral Witches listened to Lin Yang's sermon and combined their insights with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique they were practicing, there were subtle signs that their originally incomplete Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was gradually being completed and made whole.

This delighted the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
