Three hundred years fleetingly passed by, with Di Jun and various beings standing in front of a palace, awaiting the opening of its gates.
The Primordial Golden Immortals stood at the forefront, the Daluo Golden Immortals stood behind them, followed by the Golden Immortals, and the Cultivators below the rank of Golden Immortal stood even further back.
As the foremost among the Golden Immortals, Di Jun naturally took his place behind the Daluo Golden Immortals.
In the Primordial realm, strength is the surety of one's status, marking a strictly hierarchical structure.
Throughout these three hundred years, neither the Dao nor the Demon Path had engaged in any significant warfare; at most, there were minor skirmishes.
This was because both sides were exceedingly preoccupied, with no time to initiate large-scale wars.
The Dao side, needless to say, was preparing to listen to the four Elders' lectures.
On the side of the Demon Path, news had come that a group of Devil Cultivators were continuously relocating Spirit Veins from the Western Primordial to Mount Sumeru.
They all knew this was in preparation for the ultimate final battle.
It wasn't that no one had thought to stop them, but no attempt had been successful — even a Primordial Golden Immortal very nearly perished in the effort.
After all, this was the true stronghold of the Devil Cultivators, where many powerful beings of the Demon Path resided.
The four Elders could not act rashly, as beings of their Realm Cultivation level could sense each other's movements.
If they stirred, Luo Hou was sure to make his move.
Under these circumstances, the matter had to be left unresolved.
Just as the Devil Cultivators dared not to prevent the beings of the Eastern Primordial from hearing the four Elders' lectures.
During these three hundred years, Di Jun also meticulously organized his gains from this period, especially the various paths of Dao he had encountered.
He needed to clarify his own state first, in order to gain the most from listening to the four Elders' lectures.
Di Jun knew the outcome of this final battle, so he treasured this opportunity to hear the four Elders' lectures even more.
The grand doors of the palace slowly opened, revealing the four Elders seated on meditation cushions, in order: Yin Yang Ancestor, Qian Kun Ancestor, Dian Dao Ancestor, Hong Jun Ancestor.
From the entrance of the palace, it seemed not to be very large, with not much space before the four Elders.
Di Jun couldn't help thinking: Could it be that only those with destiny could enter this lecture?
Many beings who had come from far away, enduring great hardships, might have to return disappointed.
Even Di Jun himself couldn't guarantee that he was fated.
After all, this was not a lecture in the Purple Cloud Palace following Hong Jun's attainment as a Saint.
Before Di Jun could entertain further thoughts, the Primordial Golden Immortals at the front entered as soon as the door opened.
The Daluo Golden Immortals also entered in succession.
After the last Daluo Golden Immortal entered, Di Jun exhaled a turbid breath and stepped inside as well.
Upon entering the palace, Di Jun realized he had been mistaken.
The palace had seemed small from the outside.
But upon entering, it was incredibly spacious.
Di Jun took a cursory glance around and then thought to himself: Space Law, huh?
Currently, he had only grazed the surface of spatial understanding and was far from being able to create or expand space within the Primordial World.
If it were a Small World instead, perhaps he could have achieved this extent.
After all, the spatial barriers of the Primordial World were exceedingly strong.
Following Di Jun's entrance, the other beings also slowly made their way inside.
```
Ultimately, the palace accommodated all life forms, and it was still spacious without the slightest congestion.
Even if some life forms who came to listen to the teachings maintained their original bodies, which were very large, it did not cause any hindrance.
Di Jun realized that it was not only the palace that had been expanded with the Space Law, but each cushion for the life forms attending held its own mystery.
Each cushion here was an independent space, both connected to the palace and isolated from it.
Truly magical.
Di Jun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Had it not been for the four ancestors about to preach, Di Jun would have wanted to comprehend the application of the Space Law here.
Of course, Di Jun guessed that even if he tried to comprehend it, he might not grasp anything.
Because the difference between Di Jun's realm and that of the four ancestors was monumental, even the arrangements the ancestors made casually might elude him.
After all, without the support of realm cultivation, it is simply unimaginable how some things are achieved.
The place where he sat on the cushion was actually not much different from where he had stood at the entrance of the palace.
The very front had four cushions arranged, which should be for the positions of the four ancestors, and no one was seated there yet.
By now, Di Jun had become accustomed to strange occurrences; he had clearly seen the four ancestors sitting on their cushions before entering the palace.
But after entering, not a single one of the ancestors was to be found.
Then, the Primordial Golden Immortals were seated separately in a row, as a sign of respect for them.
After all, the four ancestors were also at the realm of Primordial Golden Immortals, only their understanding of the Dao and their strength were far greater than that of other Primordial Golden Immortals.
All the life forms that entered the palace sat quietly on the cushions, waiting, and the entire great hall was very quiet.
After a while, the four ancestors appeared on the cushions.
Di Jun's gaze had not left those four cushions, but he did not notice how the ancestors appeared, without any trace.
Not only Di Jun, but the Primordial Golden Immortals in the front row were also surprised, as they did not notice either.
They had originally thought that the gap between them and the four ancestors was not big, but even from just this little detail, the gap had become enormous, and was even widening.
At this moment, Hong Jun, the last of the ancestors, spoke: "Before the sermon begins, let me first make clear some matters."
"According to the calculations I made with the three fellow Daoists, the battle between us four and Luo Hou is also the decisive battle of the Daoist and Devil paths."
"It is very likely that Devil Cultivators will also invade the Eastern Primordial."
"In order to strengthen the power of the Eastern Primordial, this sermon is being held."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun finally understood the origin of this sermon.
"Of course, all life forms that have come here, regardless of whether they join in the confrontation with the Demon Path, are welcome to listen to our teachings."
"However, those who do participate in the confrontation against the Demon Path, once it is over, will receive the blessing of the destiny of the Daoist sect."
Destiny blessing?
Many life forms' eyes lit up when they heard these words.
With the blessing of destiny, one's cultivation speed would greatly increase, and along with it the chance for opportunities.
In such a situation, naturally, some life forms were moved.
What's more, they originally harbored the intent to confront the Devil Cultivators, especially those life forms that often waged battles here.
They had forged irreconcilable hatred with the Devil Cultivators.
Di Jun was also somewhat excited about all the destiny blessings mentioned by Hong Jun.
This was the blessing of destiny of the Daoist sect, not just any ordinary blessing of destiny; how could Di Jun not desire it?
