To be honest, the current generation of practitioners both loved and dreaded the Profound Sage Speech.
The reason for loving it was self-explanatory. After all, Profound Sage Speeches were free, and those who listened to them could receive countless benefits. This was especially so when the topic of the Profound Sage Speech matched one's field. When this was the case, it was very likely that the practitioner would even experience a breakthrough just from listening to the speech.
As for the reason why they felt dread toward the Profound Sage Speech, it was because of a specific Profound Sage, who the public did not even dare to mention. This man had deeply traumatized the whole universe, both physically and mentally.
In the past few months, whenever a practitioner heard the words "Profound Sage Speech" mentioned around them, they would feel a throbbing pain in their abdomen.
