The Sage Desires to Take Disciples
Kunlun Mountain.
After returning to their Dao Field from the Sea of Blood, the Three Pure Ones remained silent, each sitting quietly in meditation.
Taiqing Laozi closed his eyes and lowered his brows, all traces of Non-action vanished, leaving only a bottomless gloom.
The Yuanshi Tianzun, however, had a somber expression, and Surrounding Body aura was both violent and oppressive, like a volcano about to erupt.
Shame!
An unprecedented and utterly humiliating disgrace!
They claim to be the Pangu Orthodox, born noble, and after attaining Prove the Dao and become a Saint, they look down upon all living beings.
I thought that since they were both Pangu Descendants, Zhou Ming, even if he was stronger, would only be slightly stronger.
But the Battle of Sea of Blood gave them a resounding slap in the face.
Despite the combined efforts of the three, who wielded supreme treasures and were further empowered by the power of the Heavenly Dao, they were still defeated by Zhou Ming alone.
What they found most unacceptable was that the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner had been taken away!
These two supreme treasures from the beginning of time are not only the foundation for their suppression of Fortune, but also the highest symbol of their Pangu Orthodox lineage!
Now, Zhou Ming is forcibly "keeping it in his custody" under the guise of punishment!
For the proud and arrogant Taiqing and Primordial Lord, this was even more painful than killing them.
"Ah--!"
Unable to contain his rage any longer, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly stood up and let out a roar that had been suppressed to the extreme!
"Zhou Ming!!"
"I will never forgive you!"
"Second Younger Brother!"
Taiqing gave a low shout, pulling Primordial Lord back from the brink of rage.
Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, but his face was still extremely ugly.
In the end, it was Tongtian who broke the suffocating atmosphere.
"Eldest Brother, second brother."
Don't you all think Zhou Ming Mingqiang went a bit too far?
Taiqing and Primordial Lord's bodies moved almost imperceptibly.
They were well aware of Zhou Ming Mingqiang's excessive behavior.
That's no longer Saint Saint; it's a crushing defeat, a dimensional reduction attack!
In his presence, what difference is there between Saint and an ordinary Quasi-Sage?
But admitting this is too difficult for them.
Tongtian ignored his two Elder Brother and continued speaking to himself.
"Zhou Ming's strength is certainly due to his own merits."
"But the most crucial element is still the Pangu Inheritance!"
"Without Pangu's legacy, he could never have become this powerful!"
"We are also Pangu Descendants, and even more so, the Primordial Spirit of our Father God!"
"I refuse to believe that our heritage is inferior to that of the Wu Clan!"
"I propose that the three of us brothers join forces to comprehend the Heaven-Opening Mark!"
"Let us fully unleash the true power that Father God left us!"
Only in this way will we have a chance to avenge our defeat!
Tongtian's words, resounding and powerful, echoed throughout the hall.
The body of the Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly trembled.
Taiqing Taiqing's usually impassive face showed a hint of emotion.
The two exchanged a glance.
Without a word, they both saw the undisguised attraction in each other's reactions.
Although Yuanshi Tianzun was arrogant, he was not stupid; Tongtian was right.
Zhou Ming's extraordinary abilities must be inextricably linked to the Pangu Inheritance.
He absolutely refused to believe that the inheritance he received, which was transformed from the Pangu's Primordial Spirit, would be inferior to that of the Wu Clan, who were transformed from Essence Blood!
Taiqing slowly spoke, breaking the brief silence.
"Can."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded heavily.
"Okay! I agree!"
"As Pangu Descendants, how can my Pangu's Primordial Spirit, Pangu, be defeated by Pangu's Essence Blood!"
Tongtian was overjoyed to see that both of his Elder Brother had agreed.
"Very good!"
"Elder Brother, let's not delay, let's begin now!"
However, Taiqing waved his hand.
"No rush."
Tongtian was taken aback, and Primordial Lord also looked puzzled.
"Eldest Brother, why?"
Taiqing spoke slowly, her voice regaining its usual calm.
"When you two Prove the Dao and become a Saint, you both made a great vow to the Establish Sect, spread the teachings, and enlighten all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness."
"The established Dao Lineage and moral education are not yet in place; this is a grave Karma."
"After all, comprehending the Heaven-Opening Mark is not something that can be done overnight."
"If one goes into seclusion carrying this Karma burden, with worries in their mind, it will inevitably affect their Enlightenment."
"You two might as well open your Mountain Gate wide, recruit disciples, and truly establish the Dao Lineage of the Clarify Sect and Interception Sect, thus settling this karmic Karma."
"The best course of action is to then retreat into seclusion and focus solely on enlightenment."
Upon hearing Taiqing's words, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in deep agreement.
"What you say is absolutely right, Eldest Brother."
"I was too impatient."
On the path of spiritual practice, the worst thing to do is to be restless and impatient.
He was indeed blinded by hatred and almost forgot this most basic principle.
Only by Settle Karma can one achieve a clear mind and comprehend the Great Dao more effectively.
Although Tongtian wished he could immediately go into seclusion, he saw that his two Elder Brother were of one mind.
Moreover, what he said made perfect sense; comprehending such a momentous matter as the Heaven-Opening Mark truly required undivided attention, so he stopped arguing.
"Alright, we'll do as you say, Eldest Brother!"
"Once we establish our Dao Lineage, we can then properly comprehend the Supreme Dao of our Father God!"
The next moment, two magnificent voices, imbued with the majesty of Saint, resounded throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness!
"I am Yuqing Yuanshi, and today I will expound the Great Dao on Kunlun Mountain, establish the Dao Lineage of the Clarify Sect, and widely accept disciples!"
"Anyone with a strong foundation and abundant blessings may come to become my disciple!"
"I am Shangqing Tongtian, and today I will preach the Great Dao on Kunlun Mountain, establishing the Dao Lineage of the Interception Sect, teaching without discrimination."
"All living beings of the Primordial Wilderness who aspire to the Great Dao are welcome to come and become my disciples!"
Two Saint Imperial Edict instantly spread throughout the entire Primordial World!
In an instant, Ten Thousand Races of the Primordial Wilderness were in an uproar!
The Saint is about to accept disciples!
This is undoubtedly an incredible opportunity for the billions of beings struggling on the path to enlightenment!
Countless living beings transformed into streams of light, surging wildly from all directions of the Primordial Wilderness toward the direction of Kunlun Mountain.
Kunlun Mountain became the focus of the entire Primordial Wilderness.
The West.
Mount Sumeru.
The Imperial Edict of the Saint Primordial Lord and Tongtian spread throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.
Jieyin and Zhunti naturally heard it as well.
They didn't take the matter of Primordial Lord and Tongtian opening the mountain and accepting disciples to heart.
What does the fact that Primordial Lord and Tongtian disciples have to do with their Western Teachings?
In any case, these opportunities belong to the creatures of the East; let them fight over them.
All they can think about now is how to accumulate Merit and pay off their debts.
However, as time went on, the two gradually realized that something was wrong.
Zhunti's brows suddenly furrowed.
As Saint, he could perceive the universe with a single Divine Sense.
Just now, he sensed that the auras of many creatures on the Western Lands were rapidly moving eastward.
"Um?"
A look of confusion appeared on Zhunti's face.
That's strange.
"Why aren't these guys staying in their own territory? What are they rushing east for?"
Upon Jieyin this, Jieyin also released his Divine Sense, sweeping it towards the Western Lands.
The next moment, his face turned extremely ugly!
"Junior brother!"
"Look in the direction they went!"
Zhunti was taken aback, and immediately focused his Divine Sense on the moving creatures, probing along the direction they were heading.
Zhunti's face also darkened instantly!
"They... they went to Kunlun Mountain to become disciples!"
Jieyin's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.
Among the creatures heading towards Kunlun Mountain, there were several that the two brothers had observed for a long time.
Those whose aptitude is deemed acceptable are those who will be accepted into the Western Teachings once it is officially established.
At this moment, it was turning into a streak of light without looking back, rushing desperately eastward.
They seemed afraid that if they arrived late, they wouldn't be able to snag a spot to become apprentices.
The West is inherently impoverished, Spiritual Root and understanding of its inhabitants are generally inferior to those of the East.
It is already a blessing from Heavenly Dao that some promising talents have emerged.
These are the hopes that these two brothers have for the future prosperity of the West and the accumulation of Merit!
"Senior brother! We can't go on like this!"
"If we allow all these promising talents to join the Clarify Sect and Interception Sect, how will our Western Teachings flourish?"
"If things don't go well, how will we repay our debt to Heavenly Dao? How will we fill Zhou Ming's bottomless pit!"
"We hereby proclaim to the Primordial Wilderness: From this day forward, our Western Teachings will also open its Mountain Gate wide to Universal Salvation!"
The Jieyin nodded solemnly.
"Junior brother is right! We cannot sit idly by and wait to die!"
The next moment, two equally grand voices also emanated from Mount Sumeru, resounding throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
"I am the Western Teachings Leader Jieyin!"
"I am Western Teachings Leader Zhunti!"
"Now, feeling the suffering of all beings, I have established a great teaching on Mount Sumeru to Universal Salvation."
"All those who are destined to be connected with my the West Paradise may enter my fold, share in ultimate bliss, and together attain Bodhi!"
This announcement, while causing some ripples, was clearly less impactful than that of the Three Pure Ones.
After all, the West's reputation for poverty is deeply ingrained in people's minds, except for a few who are truly desperate.
For most people, the first choice is still the rich and fertile Kunlun in the east.
Jieyin and Zhunti were fully aware of this.
The announcement is only the first step, indicating an attitude.
The truly important step is the second one – taking the initiative!
Without pausing for a moment, the two figures blurred into two Golden Light streaks of light and vanished instantly from the summit of Mount Sumeru.
They headed straight for the border the West.
Today, no matter what, we must keep these people here!
No one can take a single blade of grass from the West!
