Seeing that Dong Wang Gong spoke with a hint of disappointment, and seeing everyone's stunned silence, Xu Fang immediately waved his hand.
"Alright, if you want to fight for it, go ahead. I think it's fine here."
What was the point of fighting? Besides the first six futons, all the remaining futons were essentially the same.
And for those first six futons, although their respective owners had gone through some hardships to sit down, there was already a predetermined fate.
Or rather, everything had been meticulously arranged by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun. Even if someone more powerful than the San Qing or Nu Wa arrived, they would have no choice but to obediently sit behind them.
Xu Fang didn't have the confidence to break through the restrictions set by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, nor did he have the inclination to fight and scramble with those beings. He'd rather find a quiet spot to sit.
"This..."
Dong Wang Gong was rendered speechless and amused. How could he have thought that this person was sure to win?
"Senior is right, everywhere is the same."
Ao Xue said, immediately sitting down next to Xu Fang.
As a Taiyi Golden Immortal, her being able to reach this place to listen to the Dao was already extremely fortunate. How could she dare to be greedy and fight with others for a position?
Since Senior chose to sit here, when traveling, naturally, wherever Senior goes, I go.
"Alas!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Sculpture sighed. Since Ao Xue had already sat down, he naturally couldn't separate from her for a prime spot.
Wherever Ao Xue is, I am. What need is there for a front-row seat!
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Sculpture didn't hesitate and sat down right next to Ao Xue.
"Fine, then I'll keep you company, fellow Daoist!"
Kong Xuan said, also sitting down beside Xu Fang.
Suddenly, only Dong Wang Gong and Xi Wang Mu were left standing, looking at Xu Fang in stunned silence.
"You two, either go and fight for a spot in the front, or sit down here. Don't block my view of the show."
"What show? It's about to start! Are more beings going to barge into Zixiao Palace?"
Dong Wang Gong complained, saying all sorts of cryptic things, making it so mysterious. He had been tricked by Xu Fang like this and missed out on a great spot!
Just then, two figures flew from afar outside Zixiao Palace. Seeing that Zixiao Palace was already full, they were stunned.
Shortly after Dong Wang Gong finished speaking, a commotion suddenly came from outside the Zixiao Palace gate.
"Why can't we enter? So we're a little late. You, Daoist boy, are too unreasonable! If it weren't for your identity as the Dao Ancestor's child, do you think my Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree would spare you!"
"Junior Brother Zhunti, please refrain from being rude! Little brother, my brother and I have traveled thousands of miles to get here, so we are destined individuals. How can you bar us from entering?"
"Even so, the seats in Zixiao Palace are already taken. You won't have a place if you go in."
"Little brother, don't worry. We'll listen while standing."
"Exactly, listening while standing takes up less space, it won't be a problem!"
These words, when heard by the beings in Zixiao Palace, caused them to feel utterly speechless.
This grand opportunity of preaching in Zixiao Palace, and these two people actually arrived late? They were too unreliable!
And what was this about listening while standing? Did they really think Zixiao Palace was so easy to get into?
Dong Wang Gong was taken aback. How could it be that just as he finished speaking, someone was actually going to barge into Zixiao Palace!
However, after hearing the words of these two latecomers, Dong Wang Gong immediately let out a cold snort of disdain.
"Hmph! Truly two wishful thinkers. If they can get in, it would be utterly ridiculous. Might as well say I, Dong Wang Gong, shall lead all the immortals under heaven?"
Dong Wang Gong scoffed. How important was the preaching in Zixiao Palace? Did they think a few words would be enough to get in?
Others paid no attention to these words, but only Xu Fang, upon hearing this, stared intently at Dong Wang Gong.
How had he never noticed before that Dong Wang Gong possessed such a divine ability as "words become reality"?
Those two at the door were the future two Saints of the West, and they would definitely be let in.
And Dong Wang Gong would indeed have the title of leading all the immortals under heaven in the future.
This mouth of Dong Wang Gong, one didn't know whether to call him a jinx or someone blessed.
Even speaking out of anger, he had managed to predict these things, which truly made one look at him with new respect!
The commotion at the door quickly subsided. The beings in Zixiao Palace paid it no mind, considering it a mere trivial interlude. They immediately settled down to await the Dao Ancestor's sermon.
However, not long after, two presences appeared within Zixiao Palace.
The beings frowned and, following the aura, saw two beings peeking through the gates of Zixiao Palace, as if trying to peer inside.
"..."
The beings were speechless. These two shifty-eyed fellows must be the ones who had been making a racket outside the Zixiao Palace just now.
Who would have thought that they would actually be let in? Was Hao Tian not doing his job as a gatekeeper!
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin ignored the gazes of the crowd. After scanning Zixiao Palace, they strode in. Sensing the aura, their gazes quickly fell upon Ao Xue.
"You little girl are only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. What qualifications do you have to listen to the Dao here?"
Daoist Zhunti said directly.
"Leave this place quickly, lest you defile the grounds of Zixiao Palace!"
Listening while standing was impossible. Since their brothers were able to enter Zixiao Palace, they had to use some means to secure two seats.
The saying goes, "Pick the softest persimmon to squeeze." This lone Taiyi Golden Immortal present was naturally the weakest existence, and thus could make way for them!
The beings present were immediately amused. Who didn't know that this Taiyi Golden Immortal was brought by two Great Luo Golden Immortals, arriving on a pile of treasures?
Moreover, they had seen earlier that this person was on quite good terms with Fu Xi and Nu Wa. The moment these two opened their mouths, it could be said that they were walking towards their own doom.
"What are you looking at? You guys be self-aware and make way for my senior brother!"
Daoist Zhunti felt everyone's gaze and said.
"Senior brother, don't pull me. He's just a Taiyi Golden Immortal. How could I be you!"
Daoist Zhunti followed Daoist Jieyin's signal and saw Xu Fang poking his head out, looking at him with a grinning smile, and instantly felt a chill!
