Li Er: Fine, Daoist School, Daoism, and Daoist Sect Are All Here. Taiyi: Sending Two Golden Crows

Ling Er was completely stunned.

There was something strange about the three Pan brothers. Why did he feel like they were hiding something from him? It was not that he was prone to conspiracy theories; it was simply an instinctive feeling.

Yet this concealment did not make him feel any danger.

Still, in his view, brotherhood was important. If there were any issues between them, they should lay everything out and make it clear.

Otherwise, misunderstandings would only grow deeper and deeper.

Because even the people closest to you could hurt each other in the name of love.

"Third Brother Pan, don't be angry. First Brother Pan and Second Brother Pan are doing this for the sake of our Daoism, so it can continue to prosper.

This isn't a bad thing." Ling Er gently tried to persuade him. After all, Third Brother Pan's hackles were already up.

Who would have thought that Sect Master Tongtian would cast aside his usual playful expression? His face was utterly solemn, and his tone exceptionally grave as he said, "Brother Ling Er, this is no joke.

Daoism was founded by you and me. They're practically here to steal our home.

Even brothers had to settle accounts clearly. I could yield on anything else, but this concerned our lineage. I cannot back down."

At this, Grand Pure Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun both showed a trace of awkwardness.

Because what Sect Master Tongtian said was true. What they were doing really did look a little like stealing someone else's home.

Ling Er's expression also turned serious. Since Third Brother Pan had put it this way, they had to settle the matter clearly today.

But having two powerful elder brothers join their Daoism was a good thing. Besides, Third Brother Pan had always seemed a little unreliable.

Yet Third Brother Pan had the temperament of a sword cultivator—

"First Brother Pan, Second Brother Pan, Third Brother Pan, how about this?

Since you are three brothers, you cannot let this matter make things unpleasant between you.

Why don't we establish another sect?

We can call it the Daoist School.

First Brother Pan is the head of the household, so he can be the sect master, while Second Brother and Third Brother can be vice sect masters.

What do you think?" Ling Er said seriously, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

A peculiar feeling passed through his heart. Daoism was the lineage of the Three Pure Ones, and the Daoist School was also the lineage of three stars. Now these men before him were three brothers too. Could it really be a coincidence?

Primal Celestial Lord: ...

Sect Master Tongtian: ...

"Wonderful! It's settled, then. Brother Ling Er, draft a set of doctrines and rules for our Daoist Sect.

And you will be the Little Master of our Daoist Sect." Grand Pure Saint immediately said with a beaming smile, a certain gleam in his eyes as though he had made a killing.

He was overjoyed inside. His Human Sect finally had a disguise, so he would no longer need to worry about its development in the future.

He had even gained an inheritor.

Just then, Yuanshi Tianzun finally came to his senses and was unwilling to accept this. How had things turned out like this?

Good heavens. His eldest brother had opened a Daoist School outside, and his third brother had opened Daoism outside. Both of them had gained another disguise, while he had none.

And in both of these sects, was he supposed to remain the eternal number two?

Being second among brothers was one thing; that was something determined at birth and impossible to change. But now he had to be second in the sects too?

"No, I refuse to accept this.

Why can you two each establish an independent sect while I cannot? This is unfair." Yuanshi Tianzun said darkly, looking as aggrieved as could be.

I want a disguise too. I don't have one. Is that fair? It's unfair!!

In an instant, all three of them looked at Ling Er in unison, as if saying that the matter now rested with him.

Ling Er scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "How about we establish one more sect? We'll call it the Daoist Sect.

Second Brother Pan will be the sect master, while First Brother Pan and Third Brother Pan will be vice sect masters.

That should work, right?

After all, establishing one sect is the same as establishing two, and establishing two is the same as establishing three. One for each person—that's fair."

Well then!!

Daoism, Daoist School, and Daoist Sect were all complete—

"I agree! It's settled.

Brother Ling Er, give me a set of doctrines and rules.

And you will be the Little Master of my Daoist Sect." Yuanshi Tianzun immediately said, joy flashing through his eyes.

Ling Er was instantly puzzled. Why did they all want him to be their Little Master?

That meant he would have to become their disciple. I see you as brothers, yet you want me to become your disciple.

Isn't that going too far?

At that moment, Sect Master Tongtian came to his senses and immediately bristled.

His eldest and second brothers had gone too far. They were no longer trying to steal Daoism—they were trying to steal a person.

Ling Er was the Little Master of his Interception Sect and Daoism.

"No. Ling Er is the Little Master of my Daoism. Don't go too far.

Otherwise, I'll turn hostile." Sect Master Tongtian's tone carried a trace of threat as he stared fixedly at his two elder brothers.

"Come on, turn hostile and let me see. If you dare to turn hostile, I dare to watch.

A heaven-defying genius like Ling Er is beyond your ability to hold onto, Third Brother." Yuanshi Tianzun said blandly, amusement flashing through his eyes. He looked as though he had Sect Master Tongtian completely cornered.

Because Sect Master Tongtian had concealed his identity as a Saint, Yuanshi Tianzun intended to hold this over him for the rest of his life. After all, he had come here for Daoism's introductory lessons.

"We agree to your marriage with her.

As for Ling Er, it's decided." Grand Pure Saint said seriously, his eyes narrowing slightly as he too looked like he had Sect Master Tongtian cornered.

"Ah! Utterly shameless!! Are you still my elder brothers? You're screwing over your younger brother like this!!

Don't your consciences hurt?" Sect Master Tongtian rose to his feet and angrily berated his two elder brothers. His eyes were filled with helplessness. At this moment, he truly wanted to expose his identity.

But if he did, he and Ling Er could never return to their original friendship. He treasured that friendship deeply.

Yet his two elder brothers had seized upon exactly that weakness—

Seeing this, Ling Er led away the Black Dog, who had been preparing to watch the show, and took the three people lying on the ground with him. They were the best experimental subjects.

"Or should you go outside and fight?" Ling Er turned back at that moment, looked at the three men glaring at one another, and earnestly offered his suggestion.

After several hundred years of interaction, he had already figured out the personalities of the three Pan brothers.

Although First Brother Pan looked elderly, he was actually the most secretly passionate one inside. Sometimes, he was even more impulsive than Third Brother Pan.

Second Brother Pan looked middle-aged. He was both secretly passionate and someone who set standards for himself. He was excessively biased toward his own people; as long as one of his own did something, they were basically in the right.

There was even less need to mention Third Brother Pan's youthful image. He was born to roam free, frequently went out robbing others, was occasionally extremely unreliable, and could be stubborn to the extreme.

"A fight? Come on, let's find someone to fight. I'm furious right now!" Sect Master Tongtian said coldly, raising the Karma Pearl in his hand.

"You've been pinned down for two hundred years, and you're still that angry?"

Sect Master Tongtian: ...

Grand Pure Saint tore open space and stepped through first.

After watching the three leave, Ling Er looked at the fat man in his hand and said with some emotion, "Those brothers really do share one hobby.

They like fat guys like this.

Black Dog, want some training?"

Upon hearing this, Black Dog's eyes lit up. He stood up, took Jade Cauldron True Man, and said, "I find this pretty boy quite pleasing to the eye.

Besides, he follows the path of the body and is a sentient innate supreme treasure. No one is better suited than me to teach him.

I can also see how one becomes an innate supreme treasure."

Ling Er smiled. "Your dog eyes are really sharp. Remember not to break him."

"Little Master, don't worry. I know my limits.

He is that stingy Second Brother Pan's disciple. If I break him, wouldn't he explode in rage?

Besides, our master seems unable to keep his Second Brother under control." Black Dog said seriously, contempt appearing in his eyes.

"Oh? You called Second Brother Pan stingy. Aren't you afraid he'll come trouble you?"

"Hehe, not at all. I have lots of image jade slips of him embarrassing himself—"

Ling Er: ...

The West—the Western Sect's Mount Sumeru.

A spatial passage formed.

Grand Pure Saint emerged with Sect Master Tongtian and Yuanshi Tianzun.

The moment the three appeared, they directly unleashed their Saintly pressure.

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color. Ripples appeared throughout space, as if it could shatter at any moment.

Sect Master Tongtian directly summoned the Four Swords of Zhuxian. He was entirely prepared for a major battle and did not care in the slightest about the karmic consequences of destruction.

He possessed Red Lotus Karmic Fire himself, and an enormous amount of merit as well.

If he did not beat those two Westerners into submission this time, they would continue eyeing his disciple.

"Jieyin! Zhunti... come out—"

Whoosh—

The Eye of Heavenly Dao appeared in the sky at once. It also dispersed the Saintly pressure and conveyed its displeasure to Sect Master Tongtian.

"Hehe—You're telling me not to make trouble for no reason? Then if I have a reason, I can make as much trouble as I want!

Do you not know what happened? Didn't you give Egg Kong—ptui, Kong Xuan—his life imprint?

Jieyin actually followed a karmic thread all the way to my home. How long has it been since the incident with Black Dog?

And now they've done it again. Do they think the Three Pure Ones are easy to bully!

Second Brother, use the Pangu Banner to break this defensive array!" Sect Master Tongtian stood with sword in hand and coldly questioned the Eye of Heavenly Dao.

More importantly, he was making the cause of the incident clear, so that they would have a justified reason to act.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!

Yuanshi Tianzun: ...

Though Yuanshi Tianzun was speechless, he still took out the Pangu Banner and activated the chaos energy upon it, looking ready to strike at any moment.

Crack—

Mount Sumeru's defensive formation opened.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin emerged.

Saint Jieyin's bitter face carried a few traces of pallor and flush. His aura rose and fell erratically, truly giving off the feeling that he was extremely weak.

Meanwhile, Saint Zhunti wore a cold expression. With a wave of his hand, he displayed all the resources he had gathered over the past two hundred years.

"This is a misunderstanding. My brother and I are willing to compensate you. We ask that Fellow Daoist Tongtian let the karmic ties of this matter end here.

May Heavenly Dao bear witness."

Seeing this, Sect Master Tongtian curled his lip, his face full of dissatisfaction. At least struggle a little and let him slash them twice to vent his anger.

Handing over compensation without even fighting was truly stifling.

Seeing this, Grand Pure Saint waved his hand and directly put away the resources. He said blandly, "This happens only once."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Grand Pure."

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin cupped their hands in salute, secretly breathing sighs of relief. That madman Sect Master Tongtian and that ruthless man Yuanshi Tianzun had clearly intended to attack. Fortunately, Grand Pure Saint was rational.

Sect Master Tongtian put away the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, tore through the void, and entered it. Since his eldest brother had already made the decision, he could not undermine him.

Yuanshi Tianzun put away the Pangu Banner and said with a smile, "Two fellow Daoists, my Trading Market will open in fifty years. I invite you both to honor us with your presence."

Li Er had said it would be best if Saints attended, and the more the better.

Hongjun was impossible to invite, but if these two went, it would surely have some effect.

"Certainly."

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin respectfully saluted, and their opinion of Yuanshi Tianzun improved considerably.

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun tore through the void and returned as well.

Grand Pure Saint's face showed a serious expression as he said to Saint Zhunti, "Your Dao of Affinity and my third brother Tongtian's path have a certain mutual conflict.

You achieve the Dao by seizing the opportunities of others.

To prevent this from happening again in the future, I advise you to give up cultivating it."

After speaking, Grand Pure Saint glanced at the lofty Eye of Heavenly Dao and turned to leave.

The Eye of Heavenly Dao then conveyed a message to Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

"You two should stop causing trouble."

It vanished instantly.

A bitter expression appeared on Saint Zhunti's face as he asked his senior brother, "Senior Brother, must I truly abandon this path?"

Saint Jieyin wore an expression that was exceedingly difficult to suppress as he said seriously, "Junior Brother, decide for yourself.

I'll go detoxify first—"

Saint Zhunti watched his senior brother disappear, determination appearing in his eyes. He muttered, "I will not give up. If I give up, how will I find resources to revitalize the Western Sect and repay that merit?"

With a wave of his hand, he restored Mount Sumeru's formation. Since he had run into Tongtian when going east, then Tongtian again when going north, and Tongtian again when going south, he would go to the Sea of Blood.

He refused to believe that he could still run into Tongtian at the Sea of Blood.

"I'll first convert some Rakshasa women for Senior Brother. Otherwise, this poison will be difficult to cure. But why is this poison so potent?"

Mount Buzhou Secret Realm, small world.

When Grand Pure Saint returned, he saw his second brother Yuanshi Tianzun and Li Er teaching Yellow Dragon True Man and Taiyi True Man together. The two were chatting and laughing.

Meanwhile, his third brother Sect Master Tongtian was sleeping in the depths of the secret realm.

Kong Xuan, who had just returned after overcoming his tribulation, had once again entered a frenzied state. As long as he could not die, he trained himself to death, directly spurring everyone else on as well.

Because all of them wanted to become Daoism's senior eldest disciple.

As Grand Pure Saint watched everyone cultivate with blazing enthusiasm, he began muttering to himself.

"No, I need to bring my disciple here too.

But I only have Xuandu as a disciple, and that boy Xuandu has an inexplicable admiration for Third Brother. Even his sword Dao was developed after seeking Third Brother's guidance.

If Xuandu comes here and sees Third Brother, Third Brother will definitely steal him away. After all, I forcibly made Li Er the Little Master of the Daoist School.

Then Third Brother will definitely steal Xuandu—after all, Xuandu is the senior eldest disciple of his Mystic School—

Sigh~ Xuandu had originally been such an honest and well-behaved disciple. After Third Brother taught him once, whenever he faced any matter again...

He no longer had that gentle, refined attitude of patiently explaining things.

He simply told them, "Fellow Daoists, please draw your swords."

The Grand Pure Saint's heart hurt more the longer he thought about it. His only disciple had been led astray by his third brother. If he came here and learned the Dao Sect's introductory curriculum—

He did not dare think any further.

But if he did not come here to learn, he would definitely suffer losses in the future. Every one of his third brother's disciples was an old schemer. Caution was carved into their bones and engraved upon their primordial spirits.

"Forget it. I'll first go to the Human Race and see if there are any suitable disciples, so Xuandu can have some company."

The Grand Pure Saint tore through space and departed.

Just then,

A miserable scream from Jade Cauldron True Man erupted from a room within the secret realm.

"Great Master, Little Master, save me!! Divine Beast Black Dog—no!!!"

"Hehehe—Little Jade, don't be afraid—it'll only hurt for a moment—"

Taiyi True Man and Yellow Dragon True Man shuddered from head to toe upon hearing the miserable cries. The two of them had already fully understood the situation here after witnessing everyone's cultivation methods.

Kong Xuan cultivated as if his life meant nothing, directly bathing in Purple Firmament Divine Lightning while drawing forth chaotic divine fire to burn himself.

Zhao Gongming's primordial spirit, as powerful as his physical body, bore twenty-four minor worlds on its back as it battled his own body.

Duobao chanted, "My children," from the corner of his mouth while using chaotic divine fire to forge magical treasures. The key was that he sometimes jumped directly into the flames himself, shaping the treasures with his hands, while his primordial spirit cackled madly at the side and kept adding more fire.

That Golden Crow was even crazier, directly plucking out its own feathers. Yet its feathers instantly grew back intact, and a pile of feathers had already accumulated around it.

The only normal one was Wudang. She sat cross-legged within a patch of void as sword qi continuously surged from her body, each strand of sword qi fighting the others in the void.

"Second Brother, people teaching people is hard for people to learn. Things teach people, and once is enough.

How about we let them cultivate in the secret realm? You and I can watch over them, so they definitely won't die," Li Er said seriously.

To be honest, these two did not learn slowly, but they always seemed to be missing something.

Little Yi, that fatty, was a bit slippery and always wanted to slack off.

Little Huang was somewhat insecure, but he was actually a dragon. The karmic power covering his body made him especially suitable for cultivating Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

"Fine. You're their Little Master, so you can arrange it.

Let's go drink tea over there and talk about this Trading Market while we're at it," Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently, extending a hand to invite Li Er to the pavilion for tea.

Originally, he had intended to teach these two using his own principles. Yet after teaching for only a short while, he felt it was impossible. It was simply not on the same level as the Dao Sect's teaching methods.

Taiyi True Man and Yellow Dragon True Man still had no idea that danger was approaching. They had originally thought cultivating in the secret realm would be a good thing.

Just as they wanted to ask how to enter the secret realm, they discovered that their surroundings had changed.

When they tried to explore their new surroundings, they found that they were already treasure hunting—

Immediately afterward, the two experienced death once.

When they came back to their senses, they saw a figure of Li Er, who said blandly, "Noobs—welcome to the Secret Realm Exploration Classroom, version 10086—"

Taiyi True Man: ???

Yellow Dragon True Man: ???

Near Mount Buzhou—a Human Race settlement.

The Grand Pure Saint swept his primordial spirit across the area and quickly found a suitable prospect.

A young member of the Human Race wore a simple beast-hide garment and held a wooden blade, repeatedly practicing chopping motions.

Why did he find him suitable? Because the Great Dao was simplicity itself. With every swing, the youth adjusted the angle and force of his strike.

"What is your name?" The Grand Pure Saint appeared before the youth and asked calmly.

"This one is named Qingjiu. May this immortal teach me a cultivation method?"

"Are you willing to become a registered disciple of my Daoist lineage?"

"This disciple pays respects to Master."

The Grand Pure Saint looked at the kneeling Qingjiu, nodded in satisfaction, then took him through the air, leaving a message behind for his family.

South of Mount Buzhou—a Human Race settlement.

Xuandu looked at his suddenly appearing master in confusion and asked, "Master, what matter required you to make the trip?

Is this my junior brother?"

Xuandu's eyes lit up as he looked at Qingjiu. Was he finally no longer alone? Did he finally have a junior brother?

When had his master finally come to his senses and accepted a junior brother for him?

"Come. I'll take you somewhere to cultivate." With a wave of his hand, the Grand Pure Saint sent a stream of information into Xuandu's mind. Without giving him any chance to react, he grabbed him and tore through space.

In the heavens—the Demon Court.

Taiyi and Dijun both wore grim expressions. Yuanshi Tianzun had established a Trading Market, and they had quickly figured out its purpose.

Originally, the special pills they had recently obtained had already stabilized the situation in the Demon Court. Moreover, Zhen Yuanzi had been extremely effective—whatever Kunpeng wanted to do, he simply would not let him do it.

But the appearance of this Trading Market had disrupted their plans.

The only thing they could do now was gain the ability to trade in this Trading Market.

"Brother, do you have any good suggestions? After all, you often visit Golden Turtle Island and can meet Saints," Dijun asked seriously, a trace of expectation in his eyes.

Taiyi took a sip of tea and said earnestly, "Big Brother, there are more Golden Crow nephews now. Why not send another two Golden Crows to Tongtian's sect?

Have him speak with Yuanshi Tianzun and let us trade in that Trading Market. How about it?"

Dijun: ...

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!
