Chan and Jie Sects's disciple recruitment ceremony has come to an end.
As the disciples of the two sects entered the mountain gate, Kunlun Mountain, which had been deserted all year round, seemed to be injected with new vitality. Various caves sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and groups of monks could often be seen wandering in the Kunlun holy realm.
The luck of the Sage Tradition also began to grow with the introduction of its disciples, but the seeds of discord between the two religions were also sown.
On the Jade Void Palace side, Primordial Heavenly Venerate officially accepted the twelve monks who climbed to the top of the White Jade Platform as their direct disciples, which were later known as "Twelve Golden Immortals".
Primordial Heavenly Venerate gave a lecture Yuqing Great Dao in the palace, expounding the essence of "submitting to heaven and obeying people, and understanding the way of heaven". All the disciples strictly abide by the rules, practice with concentration, and are surrounded by pure Qi. Dao Charm is pure.
Guang Chengzi, as a big Martial Brother, is calm and steady; True Person Taiyi is sharp and restrained; True Person Yu Ding is knowledgeable and knowledgeable... Twelve Golden Immortals has a strict appearance, just like a Orthodox Xuanmen model, and has a sense of pride when walking.
Among them, Guang Chengzi was the most favored by Primordial Heavenly Venerate, becoming the leader of Twelve Golden Immortals, and was given many treasures for self-defense.
The opposite is True Person Huang Long in Twelve Golden Immortals.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate has always looked down on people who are covered in scales and armor, and who are born in wet eggs. After being plotted by Di Jun, an ant in his eyes, his disgust is even greater.
However, True Person Huang Long ascended the white jade platform in front of Primordial World living beings. For the sake of the saint's face, Primordial had no choice but to hold his nose and recognize this disciple even if he was not happy in his heart.
But compared with Guang Chengzi, the "heart treasure" who is armed to the teeth with magic weapons, True Person Huang Long is really miserable. Not only did he not receive the treasure, but he also asked Immortal Official Nanji to answer some of his daily practice problems.
On the Biyou Palace side, the scene is completely different.
Sect Master Tongtian Looking at the hundreds of disciples who have passed Heart-Questioning Formation, although they all have a firm mind, their talent and character are indeed very different.
Among his disciples, he saw that Golden Spirit Holy Mother was heroic and enlightened, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had a deep foundation and a calm temperament, and Holy Mother Wudang was smart and intelligent, with outstanding understanding. He was very happy, so he accepted these three female immortals as his direct disciples, alongside Daoist Duobao, and often listened to Profound Methods of Shangqing's lectures.
There is also Zhao Gongming, although he is an outer disciple, but he is so heroic and righteous, and has deep blessings, so he is recognized by Innate Spiritual Treasure Sea-Calming Divine Pearl Lord; his younger sisters Sanxiao Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao are also very smart and have extremely high understanding of formations.
Especially Yunxiao, who is calm and dignified, with a hint of leadership style.
Sect Master Tongtian Westerners attach great importance to these brothers and sisters. Although they are not included in the personal biography, the teaching methods and resources used are the same as those in the personal biography.
In addition, Tongtian selected Immortal Wuyun, Immortal Jingu, Immortal Qiushou, Immortal Lingya, and Immortal Jinguang from among the many outer disciples. The seven disciples, Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, and Piluxian, who have higher cultivation levels and each have magical powers, are called "Seven Attendant Immortals", and they are allowed to listen to the Biyou Palace outside.
In this way, Interception Sect's sect, direct disciple, outer sect, and attendant, has a clear hierarchy, but because of the purpose of Sect Master Tongtian "Teaching without discrimination", it seems that dragons and snakes are mixed, and there are many things.
At first, the disciples of the two sects practiced together at Kunlun Mountain and were able to maintain a semblance of peace.
Chan Sect Disciple lives in the spiritual peaks surrounding Jade Void Palace, while Jie Sect Disciple lives scattered in the caves in the mountains near the Biyou Palace, practicing their own practices without interfering with each other.
However, as time went by, conflicts gradually developed.
The root cause lies in the natural opposition between "Teaching without discrimination" and "fundamental blessings".
On this day, an outer disciple of the Interception Sect, who turned out to be a Black Bear Spirit, was foraging for food and practicing in the mountains when he encountered Chi who was collecting morning dew to refine elixirs.
That Black Bear Spirit had a rough and arrogant temperament, and when he saw the Chixian's integrity, he wanted to come up and talk about it. However, because he had some unfinished demonic energy in his body, his words were a bit vulgar.
Akano Primordial Heavenly Venerate personally passed on, the most important thing is appearance and feet. When he saw this man with hair and horns approaching, he felt unhappy in his heart. When he heard his vulgar words, he frowned and said coldly.
"Where did a person born from moisture and turned into an egg come from, who is qualified to discuss the Tao with me? Retreat quickly, don't pollute this Kunlun pure place!"
Even though Black Bear Spirit was in the Interception Sect, his wild nature was still intact, and he was immediately furious when he heard this.
"You are such a rude person! I am a disciple of Shangqing Sage, how can I not be qualified to discuss the Tao? The saint has something to say, Teaching without discrimination, how can a narrow-minded person like you understand it?"
The two sides disagreed with each other and almost got into a fight.
Although he was persuaded to leave by other monks who came after hearing the news, the matter spread among the lower-level disciples of the two sects, and bad feelings secretly arose.
Another day, Juliusun was practicing Earth Element Divine Ability next to a spiritual spring, and Immortal Jinguang in the Interception Sect Seven Attendant Immortals happened to be passing by.
The Immortal Jinguang was actually a Golden-maned Hou, with a fierce and aggressive temperament. Seeing Juliusun's superb magical powers, on a whim, he showed part of his original shape, roared and rushed forward, wanting to "discuss".
Juliusun was startled when he saw a ferocious beast rushing towards him. He thought it was a monster attack and quickly used his magical powers to push it back and said angrily.
"Those who are clad in scales and armor are indeed uneducated and dare to commit murder in Kunlun Holy Land!"
Immortal Jinguang was repulsed and humiliated and told about his background, he was also furious.
"Juliusun! How dare you insult me! Watch!"
The two men immediately started fighting in the mountains. Although they were not dead or alive, the fight caused the rocks to crack and the spiritual springs to stop flowing. Many disciples of the two sects came to watch, pointing and talking.
Frictions like this would occur from time to time in the following hundreds of years.
Either because of the competition for the cave with rich aura, or because of the competition for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures during training, or simply because of different ideas and dislike of each other.
Most of the Chan Sect Disciples are headed by Twelve Golden Immortals, who feel that they are of noble birth and have authentic Daoism. They look down on those Interception Sect people who are "wet-born eggs, wearing hair and horns", thinking that they have tarnished Kunlun Immortal Mountain and lowered the level of Xuanmen.
Jie Sect Disciple, on the other hand, feels that Chan Teachings is hypocritical, pretentious, and arrogant by relying on his status as a descendant of a saint.
In particular, some Jie Sect Disciple, who are out-of-touch and wild, often deliberately provoke and cause trouble.
Daoist Duobao, Golden Spirit Holy Mother and other Interception Sect senior officials, as well as Guang Chengzi, Chi and other Chan Teachings Jinxian, have come forward many times to restrain their subordinates and try to reconcile conflicts.
Sect Master Tongtian and Primordial Heavenly Venerate also knew that there was discord among their sects, but the saint was aloof. As long as no big trouble was caused, he would only admonish them briefly and not forcibly intervene.
However, the fundamental differences in ideas are as incompatible as water and fire.
Under the surface calm, resentment and dissatisfaction are constantly accumulating.
Kunlun Mountain This Three Teachings ancestral court, due to the coexistence of Chan and Jie Sects, has turned into a huge powder keg, which will completely explode just waiting for a suitable opportunity.
The ways of "compliance with destiny" and "interception of the line" will eventually face the most intense collision in the near future.
