Xuan Du looked at his Senior Disciple Brother, whose words were so fierce, and felt a wry smile mixed with surprise.
The Three Pure Ones, observing from the shadows, also felt a sense of helplessness as Xian Junyu unleashed such a torrent of abuse.
Grand Pure One Laozi, with a wave of his hand, cut off the voices of the people at the foot of the mountain.
With the noise gone, Xian Junyu lay back down, and he and Xuan Du waited silently for the fated person to arrive.
Three days passed without any fated person appearing. Finally, on the third day, that person finally came.
"So this is the Saint's Dojo, it truly is extraordinary!"
Duobao arrived at the foot of Mount Kunlun, gazing at the spiritual mountain shrouded in mist and brimming with spiritual energy, and sighed inwardly.
He glanced at the monstrous beings meditating at the foot of the mountain, then directly entered Mount Kunlun. After passing through the great formation, he became the first person to enter.
The many monstrous beings watched Duobao enter so easily, feeling very envious. However, envy was useless; he possessed the cultivation of an Earth Immortal.
They were no match for him at all.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother... someone has entered Mount Kunlun!"
Seeing that someone had passed the test of the great formation and entered, Xuan Du quickly called out to his Senior Disciple Brother, who was fast asleep.
"Hmm, someone's here..."
Hearing Xuan Du's voice, Xian Junyu wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and opened his eyes groggily.
"Senior Brother, look there!"
Following the direction Xuan Du pointed, Xian Junyu also saw the first person to cross the great formation and enter in the past few days.
He saw a person with large earlobes, wearing gorgeous immortal robes, adorned with glittering golden accessories, and a slightly plump figure, giving him the appearance of a nouveau riche.
Arriving so early and looking like a nouveau riche, Xian Junyu knew who it was with a little thought.
At this time, the only one who could have come was the Treasure Seeking Rat, who was also the Senior Disciple Brother of the Intercepting Sect, Daoist Duobao.
"This humble Daoist Duobao greets you two fellow Daoists!"
Duobao approached the two of them and immediately bowed in greeting.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Du and Xian Junyu merely nodded. They did not return the bow. They were disciples of a Saint and were not required to return courtesies to others, especially not to a rogue cultivator with Earth Immortal cultivation.
Duobao didn't think much of it. After all, they were disciples of a Saint, and it was normal for them to have such status. Moreover, he would soon be joining the Saint's discipleship himself.
He would possess this status sooner or later.
"To be able to enter Mount Kunlun means you are fated with a Saint. We have three Saints on Mount Kunlun. Which Saint do you wish to pledge allegiance to?"
Xian Junyu asked indifferently.
As the first disciple under the Three Pure Ones, and the most senior among the disciples, Xuan Du could not snatch this opportunity. Only he could speak, such were the rules.
Duobao had already made up his mind. On his journey to Mount Kunlun these past few days, he had already considered this question.
As the saying goes, one should aim for the highest and not settle for the lowest. Since he was going to pledge allegiance to a Saint, he naturally wanted to pledge allegiance to the Saint with the highest status, the Saint Taiqing. If that wasn't possible, he would consider others.
"Fellow Daoist, I wish to pledge allegiance to the Renjiao of Saint Taiqing..."
Before Duobao could finish, Xuan Du interrupted him.
"Fellow Daoist, you should choose one of the other two Saints. My Master has no intention of accepting disciples!"
Hearing the term "my Master," Duobao looked at Xuan Du with some surprise. He hadn't expected this person to be a disciple of a Saint; he had thought he was a Daoist child or a servant.
If this one was a disciple of Saint Taiqing, then the other one, with the even more imposing presence, was likely also a disciple of a Saint.
Immediately, Duobao felt a greater sense of respect.
However, since Saint Taiqing was not accepting disciples, he turned his attention to the second of the Three Pure Ones, Saint Yuqing.
"Since Saint Taiqing has no intention of accepting disciples, I am willing to pledge allegiance to Saint Yuqing. I hope you will grant my request!" Duobao said, bowing again.
Xian Junyu, however, looked somewhat surprised.
Grand Pure One Laozi was the first disciple of the Dao Ancestor and the Senior Martial Uncle of the Saints. It was normal for people to want to pledge allegiance to him.
However, after learning that the First Senior Uncle was not accepting disciples, Duobao's second choice was not his Master, but his Second Martial Uncle. This surprised him greatly.
"Saint Yuqing, then..."
"Very well, follow me!"
Giving Duobao a strange look, Xian Junyu didn't say anything further and led him towards the Second Martial Uncle's dojo.
As Duobao followed Xian Junyu, Xuan Du remained in place, waiting for the next fated person to arrive.
On the way to the dojo.
Looking at Xian Junyu's retreating back, Duobao hesitated for a moment before speaking, "This Senior Brother, the one just now is a disciple of Saint Taiqing. Are you also...?"
Hearing this, Xian Junyu replied indifferently:
"The one just now is Xuan Du. My name is Xian Junyu. Although I am also a disciple of a Saint, I am not a disciple of Saint Taiqing, nor am I a disciple of Saint Yuqing!"
He was a disciple of a Saint, but not a disciple of Saint Taiqing or Saint Yuqing. Then he could only be a disciple of Saint Shangqing.
Although Saint Shangqing ranked last among the Three Pure Ones, he was still a disciple of a Saint.
"So it's the esteemed disciple of Saint Shangqing. Duobao apologizes for his rudeness!"
"There's no need for that. The Three Pure Ones are one family. If you join the sect, we'll be fellow disciples. Just call me Senior Brother, there's no need for such formality!"
Xian Junyu held no strong prejudice against Duobao.
Turning to the West was truly a last resort. On the vast and fertile lands of the East, he was the Intercepting Sect's Senior Disciple Brother, with countless immortal disciples and grand-disciples beneath him.
If there were any other option, he wouldn't have wanted to join the West.
Moreover, Xian Junyu was certain that his Second Martial Uncle would never accept Duobao, leaving him no choice but to become his junior brother.
He understood Saint Yuqing's temper all too well.
Soon, the two arrived at Yuanshi's Dojo.
"Disciple Xian Junyu, along with Daoist Duobao, requests an audience with Second Martial Uncle!"
Upon reaching his Second Martial Uncle's Dojo, Xian Junyu called out respectfully.
It was perfectly fine to refer to himself as a disciple, as the Three Pure Ones had not yet separated.
As Duobao gazed at the magnificent Dojo, permeated with saintly aura everywhere, he secretly sighed in his heart, A Saint's Dojo is truly extraordinary.
Unlike Saint Taiqing Laozi and Saint Shangtongtian, Saint Yuqing Yuanshi was a person who greatly valued appearances. His Dojo was also the largest and most magnificent among the Three Pure Ones.
At this moment, Yuanshi's voice echoed from within.
"Junyu has arrived, come in!"
As the words fell, the grand gate in front of the plaza opened in response. Two Daoist Children emerged, standing on either side of the entrance.
Seeing this, Xian Junyu walked straight ahead, with Duobao following behind.
"Senior Brother, please come inside!!"
"Thank you, two Junior Brothers!"
Xian Junyu didn't underestimate these two Daoist Children. After all, they were close attendants to a Saint. As the saying goes, one should show respect for the sake of others; he had to give them this courtesy.
Besides, with his Earth Immortal cultivation, he was in no position to look down on Golden Immortal Daoist Children.
That's right, both of these Daoist Children were at the Golden Immortal realm, several major realms higher than Xian Junyu.
"Senior Brother, you are too kind!!"
After replying, the two Daoist Children made a gesture of invitation.
