"Enough! Since everyone is here, I'll take you to pay respects to your Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother first."
Sect Master Tongtian waved his sleeve, and the three hundred and five immortals of the Interception Sect in the main hall instantly arrived at the Grand Pure Palace. At the same time, Primordial Heavenly Venerate brought the fifteen disciples of the Exposition Sect to Taishang Laojun.
"Come, pay your respects to your Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother."
"Your disciple pays respects to Eldest Senior Brother! May you enjoy boundless longevity!"
"Your disciple pays respects to Second Senior Brother! May you enjoy boundless longevity!"
With Sect Master Tongtian's instructions, as well as Li Yunjing's reminders from the side, the many disciples of the Interception Sect stepped forward one after another to pay respects to the two elders.
"Rise, all of you."
Taishang Laojun gently stroked his snow-white beard and waved his right hand, lifting everyone upright.
"This is Xuandu. Whenever you have time in the future, you senior and junior brothers should get to know one another better."
"I am Xuandu. Greetings, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, and Junior Sisters." Xuandu stepped forward and gave a respectful bow toward the disciples of the Interception Sect, led by Daoist Duobao.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Xuandu."
The five True Disciples led by Daoist Duobao nodded and smiled. They were all old acquaintances. As for the other newcomers to the Interception Sect, they naturally did not dare to neglect the courtesy and hurriedly returned the greeting.
"Guangchengzi, you should also come and meet the senior and junior brothers of the Interception Sect." Primordial Heavenly Venerate glanced at the many people from the Interception Sect, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and spoke indifferently.
"I am Guangchengzi. Greetings, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, and Junior Sisters!"
"I am Chijingzi. Greetings, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, and Junior Sisters!"
"I am Yunzhongzi. Greetings!"
"I am Old Immortal Nanji. Greetings!"
The future Twelve Golden Immortals and the two Grand Unity Golden Immortals, having received their master's order, immediately stepped out from behind Primordial Heavenly Venerate and bowed together to the five disciples led by Duobao.
As for Daoist Randeng, he was somewhat awkward at this moment. Primordial Heavenly Venerate had indeed not accepted him as a disciple, instead giving him the empty position of vice sect master of the Exposition Sect.
After the Interception Sect and Exposition Sect introduced themselves to one another, Primordial Heavenly Venerate said, "Randeng was one of the Three Pure Ones' Three Thousand Guests in Zixiao Palace. Today, he has joined my Exposition Sect and will serve as vice sect master of the Exposition Sect."
"Haha! Congratulations, Vice Sect Master Randeng, on attaining such a lofty position! This disciple offers his respects!"
While the people of the Human Teaching and Interception Sect were still stunned, Li Yunjing laughed heartily and stepped forward to congratulate Randeng according to the Primordial World's etiquette for paying respects to senior experts.
Only then did the others come to their senses, and they all stepped forward to congratulate Daoist Randeng.
Randeng gave a bitter smile and returned their greetings, secretly complaining in his heart. This sect master position isn't so easy to sit in!
After the disciples of the three sects had finished exchanging greetings, Grand Pure Saint spoke: "I have discussed this with your masters. In ten thousand years, we will hold a Dao Discussion Conference at the Three Pure Ones Palace to test the results of your respective cultivation. You must all cultivate diligently, comprehend the Great Dao, and not disappoint your masters' painstaking efforts."
Grand Pure Saint upheld purity and non-action, and had only Xuandu under him. He did not care about victory or defeat, but the Exposition and Interception Sects bore the responsibility of educating all living beings, and their doctrines had many points of conflict. Naturally, they could not avoid open and covert struggles.
It could be said that the outcome of this Dao Discussion Conference between the three sects would reflect not only the strength of each sect's disciples, but also the dignity of the Saints.
A Saint's Nascent Soul was entrusted to the void and united with the Heavenly Dao. They transcended the river of time, survived countless tribulations without perishing, remained unstained by karma, existed alongside Heaven, and abided with the Dao, eternal and imperishable.
Among Saints, the most important thing was face. In particular, the doctrines of the Exposition and Interception Sects conflicted. The future Dao discussion would certainly be exceptionally heated, and the conflict between the two sects would begin with the Dao Discussion Conference!
Li Yunjing sighed inwardly. It seemed that in ten thousand years, the Three Pure Ones would be not far from splitting apart!
After returning to the Upper Pure Palace, Sect Master Tongtian looked at his many disciples and said, "This agreement to discuss the Dao should have given you considerable motivation. Ten thousand years is enough for you to master the Supreme Clarity Great Dao."
"Starting today, I will preach for a thousand years, imparting the Dao and resolving your doubts. You must not slacken."
"We respectfully follow our teacher's teachings!"
All the disciples' expressions turned solemn. They naturally understood the importance of this matter. However, the four True Disciples led by Daoist Duobao remained calm. They had already advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortals and had cultivated for many years. Naturally, they did not believe the Exposition Sect could be their match!
Li Yunjing looked at the arrogant expressions of his four Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters and shook his head slightly. Do you think you're even qualified to participate in the competition?
Besides, the Exposition Sect was not without capable people. Old Immortal Nanji and Yunzhongzi were both immortals blessed with great merit and virtue. Each possessed flourishing fortune and exquisite Dao techniques. Even before becoming disciples of Uncle-Master Primordial, they had already made great names for themselves throughout the Primordial World.
The only standard for survival in the Primordial World was strength. There were very few people who merely possessed empty reputations. These two would not be easy to deal with!
At this point, it would be better to listen carefully to their teacher's lecture and improve their cultivation, so they would not disgrace themselves and needlessly make the Interception Sect lose face in the future.
At that moment, Sect Master Tongtian swept his gaze over everyone and nodded slightly. His expression then turned solemn as he slowly began to speak. Golden lotuses blossomed one after another. Immortal music drifted through the Upper Pure Palace, and waves of fragrance filled the air. Everyone sat upright, carefully listening to the Great Dao.
"The three palaces of the Yellow Court: the upper palace is in the brain, the middle palace is in the heart, and the lower palace is in the spleen. Yellow is the color of the center, while the court is the center of the four directions, both carrying the meaning of centrality."
Every word and sentence seemed utterly ordinary, yet contained the profound principles of the Great Dao.
As Sect Master Tongtian's Dao voice rang out, boundless Supreme Purity Immortal Method began to manifest in the void. Under Sect Master Tongtian's lecture, these newcomers comprehended the Supreme Clarity Great Dao more quickly and deeply.
As time passed, faint immortal light radiated from the three hundred newcomers, and their auras became increasingly ethereal and transcendent. Clearly, they had already begun to master the Supreme Purity Immortal Method.
Even Li Yunjing could not help sighing with emotion. His teacher spoke as lightly as the wind, yet when it came to preaching, he was revealing his ultimate skill. He had even passed down the Yellow Court Scripture and directly manifested the myriad techniques, increasing his disciples' combat prowess.
Clearly, he wanted to win back some dignity at the Dao Discussion Conference ten thousand years later!
When the thousand-year period of preaching ended, Sect Master Tongtian immediately fell silent. After the many disciples awoke from their immersion in the Great Dao, Sect Master Tongtian said, "You may all disperse. Your residences will be arranged by Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, Guiling, Chaos Child, and Winged Immortal."
"Yes! This disciple takes his leave!"
After leaving the Upper Pure Palace, Daoist Duobao, as the First Senior Brother, naturally enthusiastically arranged residences in the Upper Pure Palace for his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters. Now that Mount Kunlun had so many people, it was naturally impossible for them to occupy a corner of Mount Kunlun individually like Li Yunjing had, establishing a Chaos Palace.
"Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao, and Fairy Caiyun, you can all stay in my Chaos Palace! My place is enormous, with nine layers of palaces inside. Each of you can choose one." Looking at these Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, Li Yunjing said warmly with a beaming smile.
