"You slippery little white crane~"
Old Ancestor Hongjun chuckled helplessly at Shi Yu. This grand-disciple of his...
"Fine, this Treasure Distribution Cliff is yours!"
Hongjun waved his hand, and the immensely large Treasure Distribution Cliff shrunk to the size of a palm, landing in Shi Yu's hand.
"Heh heh, thank you~"
"Grand-master!"
The Treasure Distribution Cliff, capable of holding so many Spiritual Treasures, was definitely extraordinary. I'll take it back to study first~
Below Kunlun Mountain
Sanqing Lake
"Tai Yi, Yu Ding!"
"We've come to seek apprenticeship!"
One wore a red daoist robe, was plump, with long hair cascading over his shoulders, exuding an unrestrained charm. Beside him stood a man with grayish-white hair, a small beard, and a grayish-blue daoist robe.
Tai Yi and Yu Ding stood respectfully by the lake, their eyes fixed on the water's surface.
Suddenly, the lake rippled, and a small boat slowly sailed over. A handsome young man stood at the bow.
He observed the two and nodded slightly, "Since you both possess a heart for the Dao, follow me."
"May I ask which senior you are?"
"I am Shi Yu, disciple of Taiqing!"
Upon hearing this, the two bowed in unison towards Shi Yu. Soon, the boat docked.
Before them appeared a serene and secluded daoist temple, with wisps of incense smoke curling upwards.
Shi Yu led Tai Yi and Yu Ding into the main hall of the daoist temple. Inside, statues of the Sanqing were enshrined, solemn and majestic. The statues emanated a soft halo, as if gazing upon Tai Yi and Yu Ding.
"Come, let's see which one has a connection with you."
The two approached the Sanqing statues and knelt in sincere prayer, hoping for their favor.
Suddenly, the statue of Yuqing Yuanshi emitted a radiant light. Yuanshi emerged from the light and came to stand beside them.
"I am Yuqing Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate. Are you two willing to take me as your master!"
"Master above, please accept this disciple's bow!"
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate nodded with satisfaction and raised his hands to help them up. "Now that you have entered my sect, you must abide by the rules of the Daoist sect."
Tai Yi and Yu Ding responded in unison, "We respectfully obey your command."
Shi Yu watched from the side with a smile, feeling quite gratified. From then on, Tai Yi and Yu Ding remained to cultivate under Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate.
"Eldest Martial Nephew, your method is quite good. Those who come to Kunlun Mountain seeking the Dao must first pass through your trial. It can filter out those with impure intentions."
"Heh, I'm just finding something to do~"
Shi Yu scratched his head. Another aspect was that it could also slow down Third Martial Uncle's rate of accepting disciples.
"The Dragon Clan's Huang Long comes to seek apprenticeship..."
"Great, Martial Uncle, another one. I'm leaving!"
Shi Yu's figure flickered, and he arrived at the shore, rowing the small boat to pick up the newcomer.
"Huang Long..."
"Another disciple of Second Martial Uncle~~"
Shi Yu hummed a little tune as he rowed the small boat. Soon, he reached the other side.
On the shore stood a middle-aged man in yellow, with a thin and stern face, and a long beard.
"I am Huang Long, here to seek apprenticeship!"
Threads of dragon energy emanated from the man, intertwined with karma. This was the curse the Primordial World had placed upon the Dragon Clan after the Dragon-Han Tribulation.
"I am Shi Yu, follow me!"
"I see the potential of my junior brother in you!"
Shi Yu led him onto the small boat and rowed towards the other side. After all, this Huang Long was also a disciple of Martial Uncle Yuanshi.
"You are Shi Yu?!"
"I've heard of you in the Eastern Azure Dragon Realm!"
"Oh? Where has my reputation spread to? I am truly deeply honored!"
Inside the daoist temple, Huang Long stood before the Sanqing statues. After a long while, none of the statues reacted.
Shi Yu frowned. This situation was rare. It shouldn't be like this. Why wasn't Martial Uncle Yuanshi appearing? Could it be that Second Martial Uncle was busy?
Seeing this, a hint of dejection appeared on Huang Long's face. Perhaps he had no master-disciple fate with the Sanqing.
At this moment, Shi Yu suddenly thought that perhaps he could try a special method.
He walked up to Huang Long, patted his shoulder, and said:
"Brother Huang Long, don't worry, perhaps you can make a sincere wish one more time."
Huang Long took a deep breath and knelt down devoutly again.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed from the statue of Yuqing Yuanshi.
Shi Yu was overjoyed. It seemed there was still a chance. I knew it, maybe Second Martial Uncle was busy~
A phantom of Yuanshi slowly appeared, looking at Huang Long and saying:
"You carry karma and should not have been accepted as a disciple, but seeing your sincerity, I, this venerable one, will accept you as a registered disciple today!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Just then, another voice came from the other side: "Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, come to apprentice!"
"Holy crap!"
"This damn rabbit!"
Shi Yu directly walked out of the Sanqing Temple and shouted towards the other side:
"Scram!"
"If you dare to come over, I'll eat spicy rabbit heads tonight!"
Only a "plop" sound was heard from the other side. A fat, chubby rabbit was frantically dog-paddling in the lake, swimming towards Shi Yu.
"Fellow Daoist, give me a chance?"
"I traveled thousands of miles to Kunlun Mountain, and I am devoted to the Dao!"
The rabbit kept swimming, while Shi Yu crossed his arms, looking disgusted: "You rabbit, where do you show any devotion to the Dao?"
Chang Er Ding Guang Xian finally swam to the shore, shook off the water, transformed into his Innate Dao Body, and looked at Shi Yu pitifully:
"Just give me a chance... Fellow Daoist!"
Shi Yu was about to refuse again when suddenly auspicious light descended from the sky, enveloping Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.
Shi Yu sighed helplessly, knowing he had no chance of driving him away~
A ethereal voice sounded: "Eldest Martial Nephew, your Third Martial Uncle teaches without discrimination, so let him in!"
Shi Yu recognized it as his Third Martial Uncle's voice and sighed helplessly: "Since Martial Uncle has spoken, then alright. But you'd better perform well, or I'll banish you from the mountain at any time."
Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed in thanks: "Thank you, Master, Chang Er will definitely cultivate diligently!"
The Ancestral Land of the Demon Clan
"Tai Yi!"
"My Demon Clan now has the momentum of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans from back then, and we can contend for supremacy in the Primordial World!"
Di Jun said, looking at the current strength of the Demon Clan. Now the Demon Clan has over a dozen Quasi-Saints and hundreds of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, which is already comparable to the Three Clans of the past.
"Lord Tai Yi!"
"East King Duke has established an Immortal Court on Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea, recruiting powerful beings of the Primordial World to serve!" Bai Ze said slowly, fanning himself with his fan.
"Why don't we also establish a Demon Court for our Demon Clan and contend with them to see who is the true ruler of the Primordial World!" said the Demon Master Kunpeng.
Tai Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light upon hearing this, and he sneered:
"That East King Duke is nothing but a clown, daring to try and contend with my Demon Clan! Since that is the case, as you say, let us establish a Demon Court and let all the myriad races of the Primordial World know the might of my Demon Clan!"
Di Jun nodded slightly and turned to Bai Ze, asking, "Bai Ze, in your opinion, where is the most suitable place to establish the Demon Court?"
Bai Ze pondered for a moment, cupped his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, the Demon Clan's influence now spans the Primordial World, and Mount Buzhou is at the center of the Primordial World. Mount Buzhou is formed from Pangu's spine, a place where heavenly spiritual energy converges. If we establish the Demon Court on Mount Buzhou, we can certainly spread the prestige of our Demon Clan."
"Then as you say, after a thousand years, beyond the thirty-sixth heaven on the summit of Mount Buzhou, my Demon Clan's Demon Court shall appear!" Tai Yi's gaze was firm, and his voice resounded like a great bell in all directions.
"I shall be the Demon Emperor!"
"I shall be the Eastern Emperor!"
As the Demon Clan's Demon Court rose, and the conflict with East King Duke's Immortal Court grew increasingly sharp, finally, the flames of war ignited on the shores of the East Sea.
On the Demon Clan's side, Tai Yi and Di Jun personally led the army, followed by a vast Demon Clan army, like a dark cloud covering the sky.
The Demon Master Kunpeng and the ten Great Demon Saints of the Demon Clan exuded powerful pressure. The Grand Unity Golden Immortals formed various battle formations and unleashed their magic treasures.
On East King Duke's Immortal Court side, they were equally formidable. Numerous immortals rode auspicious clouds, their immortal demeanor hiding surging killing intent.
"Tai Yi, Di Jun!"
"I am the Head of Male Immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor, how dare you defy me!" East King Duke sat regally in a magnificent chariot, holding a dragon-headed crutch.
"Hmph!"
"I've said it before, the Primordial World is a jungle where the strong prey on the weak!"
Tai Yi, with the Chaos Bell atop his head, strode forward and charged at the East King Duke. The Chaos Bell rang out with a "Duang," striking towards the East King Duke.
The East King Duke's expression shifted slightly. He waved the dragon-headed staff in his hand, and a sharp beam of light shot out, attempting to block the power of the Chaos Bell.
At the same time, the immortals behind the East King Duke quickly formed ranks. Beams of spells flickered as they were cast towards the Demon Clan.
"Demon Clan warriors, charge!"
Di Jun rapidly formed hand seals, the River Diagram and Luoshu appearing behind him. The power of countless stars was drawn in, manifesting as ancient stars that smashed towards the immortals.
The Demon Master Kunpeng flickered, transforming into a colossal Kunpeng bird that blotted out the sky. With a flap of its wings, it stirred up gales and monstrous waves, surging towards the Immortal Court's formation.
The Ten Great Demon Saints also unleashed their divine abilities, charging towards the enemy.
Tai Yi, with the Chaos Bell atop his head, felt the immortals' blood surge with every chime of the bell.
He used the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow technique to rapidly approach the East King Duke, a yellow gourd appearing in his hand at some point.
"Treasure, please turn around!"
A white light flashed, and countless white flying swords shot out from the gourd, heading straight for the East King Duke.
"Not good, a sneak attack!"
Seeing Tai Yi closing in, the East King Duke's eyes sharpened. The dragon-headed staff in his hand instantly grew larger, positioning itself before him as a shield to block. The next moment, he felt as if his Primordial Spirit had been struck.
"Tai Yi, make it quick!"
"How laughable this Immortal Court is!"
Di Jun controlled the ancient stars, continuously smashing them into the Immortal Court's formation.
Facing the fierce assault of the Demon Clan, the East King Duke and the other members of the Immortal Court fought and retreated, finally falling back to the Immortal Court's main stronghold, where the protective formation of Penglai Immortal Island was activated.
"Get out of the way, let me break the formation!"
Tai Yi maneuvered the Chaos Bell, smashing it heavily onto Penglai Island's protective formation. The continuous, heavy blows caused the seawater around Penglai to churn with monstrous waves, alarming the East Sea Dragon Clan.
Sitting in the main hall of Penglai Island, the East King Duke was filled with rage. Having been appointed the Head of Male Immortals by the Dao Ancestor, all the myriad races of the Primordial World should have prostrated themselves at his feet...
Yet now, he was forced to cower on Penglai Island, cornered by Di Jun and Tai Yi, those two scrawny birds.
"East King Duke, aren't you the Head of Male Immortals?"
"Come out!"
With that, Tai Yi once again raised the Chaos Bell and smashed it towards Penglai Island. Beside him, Di Jun used the River Diagram and Luoshu to manifest ancient stars, smashing them together with Tai Yi towards the protective formation.
"You coward~"
"All Grand Unity Golden Immortals, form up according to this!"
The River Diagram and Luoshu manifested the Myriad Stars Array, and all Demon Clan members at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level and above took their positions. The Myriad Stars Array began to take shape.
The power of countless stars converged, transforming into dazzling rays of light, all focused on Di Jun.
"Break!"
Drawing upon the power of the Myriad Stars, he unleashed a single strike towards the protective formation.
Under this fierce blow, Penglai Island's protective formation shook violently. The formation patterns flickered unstably, seeming on the verge of collapse at any moment.
The East King Duke, within the main hall, also felt this powerful impact, his expression growing even more grim.
Wishing everyone a happy holiday! May you find love soon!
