The people of the Primordial Chaos at this time finally understood that the six meditation cushions in front of them belonged to Hongjun's six disciples.
But after Hongjun accepted Nuwa, he remained silent and didn't mention taking on any more disciples.
Seeing Hongjun's silence, Jieyin and Zhunti immediately used their special skills.
"Wuwu, Dao Ancestor, the West is barren. We two have gone through immense hardship to come and listen to your teachings. We beg the Dao Ancestor to pity us and accept us as disciples."
Jieyin and Zhunti cried with snot and tears. They even specifically mentioned the West, which was desolate and barren due to their great battle with Luohu.
"Alas, forget it, forget it. You have no destiny with me, but the barrenness of the West is my karma. Today, I will accept you two as registered disciples to repay this karma."
Hongjun didn't want to accept these two, but the karma of the West was there, and he could do nothing about it.
"Your disciple is willing. Your disciple bows to Master and wishes Master eternal life."
Registered disciples are still disciples. It's better to have them than not. Jieyin and Zhunti immediately bowed.
"This is the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, a Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure with unparalleled defense. I bestow it upon you."
"This is the Vajra Divine Pestle, a Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure. I bestow it upon you for self-defense."
Looking at the Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures in their hands, and then at the Xiantian Supreme Treasures held by Sanqing and Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti felt bitter. Direct disciples were indeed different, but they dared not say it. They could only endure it in their hearts.
"In three thousand years, I will continue to teach the path of the Quasi-Saint. You may all disperse!"
After speaking, without waiting for anyone's reaction, Hongjun disappeared.
Seeing Hongjun leave, the other great beings also departed one after another.
Sanqing and Nuwa, however, looked at Xuan Yi, who was fast asleep.
"Ah~~"
"This nap was so comfortable."
Our protagonist, Xuan Yi, was just waking up.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xuan Yi, for your guidance."
Seeing Xuan Yi awake, Sanqing quickly approached him.
"Senior Brother? What Senior Brother?"
Xuan Yi had no idea what had just happened.
"The Dao Ancestor has accepted us as disciples, and Senior Brother is the Dao Ancestor's son. We should naturally call you Senior Brother."
"Ah? This... Alright."
Seeing Sanqing so serious, Xuan Yi could only agree.
"Senior Brother, we will return to Kunlun Mountain to digest the insights from this lecture. We will not disturb you further. We hope Senior Brother will visit Kunlun Mountain when you have time so we can fulfill our duties as hosts."
After bidding farewell to Xuan Yi, Sanqing left.
"Xuan Yi, thank you."
After Sanqing left, Nuwa, her face flushed, came to Xuan Yi's side.
"Hey, why are we being so formal with each other?"
"Oh right, I have something to give you."
With a wave of Xuan Yi's hand, the Xiantian Supreme Treasure, Flowing Light Colorful Robe, appeared in his hand.
"Wa'er, this was prepared by my father for his future daughter-in-law. Now it's yours."
The word "daughter-in-law" made Nuwa's already red face even redder, looking incredibly alluring.
"The Dao Ancestor has already bestowed a Supreme Treasure upon me. I cannot accept this."
Nuwa thought Xuan Yi's father was Hongjun and quickly waved her hands to refuse.
"Accept it. This was originally prepared for you."
Before Nuwa could refuse again, Xuan Yi handed the Flowing Light Colorful Robe to her.
"Wa'er, let me escort you back. Father's lecture just ended, and you also need to digest what you've gained."
Xuan Yi took Nuwa's hand and walked out of Zixiao Palace.
Fuxi, who was forgotten, wept silently behind them.
"Sister, you've forgotten your brother here."
Without time to lament further, Fuxi quickly chased after the two.
As the three arrived in the chaos, they encountered Jieyin and Zhunti, who were waiting there.
"Kid, I've finally found you. Hand over all the Spiritual Treasures you have."
"Such a precious treasure is not something a mere Heavenly Immortal like you can possess."
Both of them assumed that Xuan Yi could traverse the chaos because of Spiritual Treasures, and their grade must be high, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the Chaos Gale.
The great beings who hadn't gone far away began to watch the show. If Xuan Yi truly possessed Supreme Treasures, they also wanted to take the opportunity to gain some benefits.
"You are going too far!"
"If you want to make things difficult for Xuan Yi, you'll have to get past me first."
Nuwa leaped in front of Xuan Yi.
"I won't stand by if you try to bully my sister and her husband."
Fuxi, who had been a silent observer the whole way, finally had his moment to shine.
"Nuwa, Fuxi, this is a personal matter between this kid and me. It has nothing to do with you."
"This kid is just a Heavenly Immortal. Are you not afraid of disgracing the Dao Ancestor by taking such a person as your Dao companion?"
These two were shameless enough to try and pressure Nuwa with Hongjun Dao Ancestor's name, but they had miscalculated.
"Who I choose as my Dao companion is my business, Nuwa's business. Do you think you have the right to interfere?"
At this moment, Nuwa was like a furious lion, wanting nothing more than to tear the two apart.
"Wa'er, let me handle this."
Xuan Yi understood that if he didn't show some real power today, more people like Jieyin and Zhunti would appear in the future.
He might as well beat them soundly once and for all, crushing any lingering thoughts they might have.
"But your cultivation..."
In Nuwa's eyes, Xuan Yi was only a Heavenly Immortal. She didn't want him to get hurt just to prove himself.
"Don't worry, I'm not as simple as I seem."
After gently caressing Nuwa's face, Xuan Yi walked towards Jieyin and Zhunti.
"If my husband suffers even the slightest harm, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth and beyond, until one of us is dead."
Watching Xuan Yi walk towards the two, Nuwa secretly vowed.
"Don't you want magical treasures?"
"Are these enough?"
A flash of golden light streaked across the sky. In his left hand, Xuan Yi held the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler, in his right, the God-Slaying Spear. He was clad in the Taixu Armor, stood upon the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, with the Qiankun Cauldron hovering above his head. The Yin-Yang Mirror was on his chest, and the Heavenly Stem Diagram circled around him.
"Holy... crap."
"So many Xiantian Supreme Treasures, so many Top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures!"
"What kind of insane luck did this Heavenly Immortal have? No wonder he could traverse the Chaos. Even if you gave a pig this many spiritual treasures, it could do it!"
"..."
The surrounding powerful beings who had come to watch instantly had their eyes turn red. Some of the stronger ones could no longer suppress the greed in their hearts and flew towards Xuan Yi, intending to kill him and seize his treasures.
Jieyin and Zhunti were practically drooling. Having been born in the barren West, they had never even touched a Xiantian Supreme Treasure.
Exchanging a glance, the two immediately circulated their magic power and attacked Xuan Yi.
"You court death. I wouldn't even deign to use spiritual treasures against you."
"Let me let you experience the might of the Heavenly Punishment power."
Xuan Yi put away his spiritual treasures, and the Eye of Heavenly Punishment between his brows instantly opened.
"Rumble..."
As the Eye of Heavenly Punishment revealed its power, lightning crackled around Xuan Yi, and a despair-inducing destructive force surged from between his brows. The previously calm Chaos world saw a colossal eye appear. It was cold and merciless, emanating an aura of destruction, as if it were about to obliterate this part of the Chaos in the next moment.
"That's the Eye of Heavenly Punishment! This kid can control the Heavenly Punishment? Impossible! How can anyone control the Heavenly Punishment?"
"No, we don't want them anymore! Spare us!"
The appearance of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment made those who harbored greedy thoughts feel the threat of death.
"Too late. Die!"
As Xuan Yi's words fell, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment blazed with light, and a storm of lightning poured down.
In just an instant, those who had intended to kill and steal turned to dust, leaving not even a trace behind.
"Splat."
Two dark, sticky masses fell before Xuan Yi. They were Jieyin and Zhunti.
"Hmph. If it weren't for the fact that you're still useful to Heavenly Dao, that last strike would have turned you into dust."
The power of Heavenly Punishment, which could destroy even Saints, certainly wouldn't fail to kill the two. However, Xuan Yi, considering they still had some use for Heavenly Dao, didn't deliver a killing blow.
But they weren't in much better shape. Their bodies were completely carbonized, and they occasionally twitched with residual lightning. If one didn't look closely, it would be impossible to recognize that these were once humanoid beings.
"What? Do you want to try too?"
Xuan Yi asked calmly, looking at the surrounding powerful beings who had not attacked.
"No, no, no, we'll leave immediately."
The powerful beings, whose courage had been shattered, instantly fled.
It was too terrifying to fight someone who could control the Heavenly Punishment. Wasn't that just asking for death? Thankfully, they hadn't attacked just now. Those who escaped felt nothing but relief for their wise decision.
At this moment, Nuwa and Fuxi were dumbfounded. When the crowd of powerful beings had attacked Xuan Yi, Nuwa had been prepared to sacrifice her life to protect him. But Xuan Yi had casually summoned the power of Heavenly Punishment and annihilated them all.
Fuxi felt fortunate to have hitched himself to such a powerful backer. Not only was his background invincible, but his strength was also immense.
"Let's go, Wa'er. I'll escort you back."
Waking Nuwa, who was still in shock, the three of them flew towards Buzhou Mountain.
