Tongtian: That's not right, why have so few people come to seek me as a disciple recently?

"Ling Ya Xian, Qiu Shou Xian, Jin Guang Xian, rogue cultivators of the Primordial World!"

"We've come to seek apprenticeship!"

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, by Sanqing Lake, three individuals with powerful and profound auras tidied their robes before the lake and bowed towards it.

"Splash~"

The lake water rippled, and a yellow true dragon poked its head out. Its head was hundreds of feet large, the true form of Huang Long.

Without a word, Huang Long attacked the three. The lake churned with monstrous waves, water splashing everywhere. Huang Long seized the opportunity, its massive dragon claws, imbued with immense power, tore through the air as it lunged at the three.

"Big brother, why is there an Evil Dragon here?"

"Isn't this Kunlun Mountain?"

"Could this be a test from Master Sanqing?"

The three leaped up, easily dodging Huang Long's attack. They were far from ordinary, destined to become seven attending immortals.

The three revealed their true forms: a Green Lion, a Golden Mane Roar, and a White Elephant. Four divine beasts battled in Sanqing Lake.

The water was the Dragon Clan's domain, but the three brothers, working together, seemed to have the upper hand against Huang Long.

Thus, Huang Long, finding itself at a disadvantage, shouted towards the Sanqing Temple behind it:

"Senior Disciple Brother!"

"I can't hold on! This Golden Mane Roar is biting too hard! My handsome dragon scales are all scratched!"

This made the three, Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, and Jin Guang Xian, very curious. Could this yellow dragon be a disciple of Sanqing? If so, why was it blocking them here?

"Don't worry, junior disciple!"

"Senior Disciple Brother is coming!"

Inside the Sanqing Temple opposite Sanqing Lake, Shi Yu sprang up from his rocking chair with a flip and, in one motion, summoned the Cloud Void Water Fan. With a wave, he parted the swirling clouds and mist, slowly walking towards the lake.

"Are you three here to seek apprenticeship?"

Shi Yu fanned himself as he approached the four mountain-like divine beasts. Looking up, he saw the four divine beasts.

"Naturally. We heard Kunlun Mountain is the Daoist sanctuary of Sanqing, so we three brothers came here specifically to try our luck."

The giant Green Lion spoke slowly. To thrive in the Primordial World, one needed connections, and becoming a disciple of a future Saint was an excellent connection.

"Names?"

"Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, Jin Guang Xian!"

"Origin?"

"The Primordial World is vast; the four seas are our home!"

"Ambition?"

"Shangqing Tongtian!"

Shi Yu nodded upon hearing this and gestured for Huang Long to move aside. Shi Yu approved of the three.

"You three, after entering the Sanqing Temple, bow before the statue of Martial Uncle Tongtian. If you have a master-disciple connection, Martial Uncle will appear!"

The Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden Mane Roar, the three divine beasts, transformed into three burly men amidst a golden light. They bowed to Shi Yu and then walked into the Sanqing Temple.

Soon, as expected, Tongtian's hearty laughter echoed from the temple.

"Hahahaha!"

"You three suit my fancy greatly. From today onwards, you three shall be disciples of my Shangqing Peak's Green Waters Palace!"

Tongtian nodded with satisfaction and instructed Duobao, who was accompanying him, to take the three newly accepted junior disciples to Shangqing Peak to get acquainted. He had a few minor matters to attend to.

Shi Yu, who was squatting by the bank chatting with Huang Long in Sanqing Lake, sensed a familiar aura. He stood up, turned, and bowed, all three actions executed seamlessly.

"Senior Disciple Nephew!"

"Why are fewer and fewer people coming to seek apprenticeship with me lately?"

"Tell me, why is that?"

Tongtian smiled slightly. The number of people seeking apprenticeship with him had plummeted recently, which greatly distressed Tongtian, who loved taking in disciples.

Shi Yu chuckled inwardly. Of course, the number had decreased. Otherwise, why would he have grounded Huang Long in Sanqing Lake? Did he really think Huang Long was a "decorative dragon"? It was clearly a "roadblock"!

"It's because all the good disciples in the Primordial World have already joined Martial Uncle's sect~"

Shi Yu said with a forced smile, but inwardly he grumbled, who didn't know that Martial Uncle's standards for accepting disciples were, by others' standards, a bit too lenient? Now, the Shangqing lineage had a large number of disciples, but they were a mixed bag.

"Is that so?"

"Then it seems I need to lower my standards. If they are willing to learn, I am willing to teach. Teach without discrimination!"

"Hahaha, Martial Uncle is truly a good master in the Primordial World!"

Shi Yu was already planning to add more safeguards around Kunlun Mountain. He might as well send Green Ox too, to lie in wait at the foot of the mountain and filter out half of them first! Then, let Huang Long filter out another portion.

Right, someone like Yan Zu would surely ask, "Ai ya, Shi Yu, Shi Yu, what if Third Martial Uncle finds out?"

This is a joke, right? I specifically asked Master and Second Martial Uncle to conceal heavenly secrets. If Third Martial Uncle doesn't personally come to Sanqing Lake and see Huang Long blocking his future disciple, there's no way he'd find out.

After sending off Tongtian, who loves taking disciples, Master stood alone on the shore, sighed deeply, and patted his own shoulder.

"Ai~"

"The task is heavy and the road is long!"

The barren lands of the West

That bottomless Three Ancestors Abyss, under the repairs by Zhunti and Jieyin, has gradually become spiritually abundant.

The faintly visible restriction above the Three Ancestors Abyss had loosened slightly. It turned out a small, purple-gold divine dragon was crashing against it.

If one looked closely, it was exactly the same as the Ancestor Dragon phantom summoned by Candle Dragon using the Ancestor Dragon Pearl.

"The three of you, please be a bit more peaceful!"

Old Ancestor Hongjun's voice came from within the restriction. The little divine dragon heard this voice, its entire body trembled, it stopped crashing, and then dispersed into a beam of light.

Mount Buzhou

Thirty-Six Heavens

Inside the Demon Clan's Demon Court

"Big Brother, we lost another Demon Saint, that damned Crane!"

Tai Yi's brow furrowed. Because of Shi Yu, the Demon Clan had already lost two Demon Saints. At this time, Quasi-Saints were still very valuable in the Primordial World.

"It's nothing, just a Demon Saint!"

"What we need to do is emulate the three ancient clans and unify the Primordial World, seeking to rule heaven and earth!" Di Jun said nonchalantly.

"My brother and I have received recognition from the three paths of heaven, earth, and man, and obtained the position of Heavenly Emperor. Using the Heavenly Emperor's destiny to achieve the Saintly fruit position! This is the important matter!"

"I understand, Brother!" Tai Yi nodded.

"Bai Ze, where is Kunpeng?"

Di Jun shouted towards the outside of the hall. The next moment, two streams of light flew into the hall.

"Announce to the Primordial World, from this day forward, our Demon Clan's Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Primordial World! Governing the Primordial World!"

After the announcement to the Primordial World, a majestic force of destiny began to manifest. The cultivation of the Demon Clan's powerful beings rapidly increased.

Di Jun and Tai Yi, in particular, used the power of destiny to reach the same cultivation level as the clan leaders of the three ancient clans.

"The Demon Clan's destiny will be suppressed by my Chaos Bell!"

Tai Yi summoned the Chaos Bell to suppress the Demon Clan's destiny.

"Big Brother, haven't we unified the Primordial World yet?"

"Why haven't we proven the Dao and become Saints?"

Tai Yi felt his cultivation. Although it had increased significantly, it was still far from the Saint realm.

"Our Demon Clan has already unified the heavens, but the Wu Clan still exists on the Primordial land. If the Wu Clan is not destroyed, our Great Dao will be difficult to achieve!"

The Great Dao they walked was the "Only I Am Supreme" Dao. The existence of the Wu Clan was the biggest stumbling block on their Dao.
