Forget it. Since he had accepted them, so be it. As for what they might achieve in the future, that would depend on their own fortune.
Thus, the twelve cultivators of virtue and purity entered Yuanshi's tutelage, becoming the Twelve Golden Immortals who would later be renowned throughout the Prehistoric Era.
Yuanshi glanced at his twelve disciples, then at the group of beings Tongtian had accepted into the Jie Sect, and a surge of pride rose within him.
Then, a sudden sound came from Tongtian's Formation. The great array shattered with a thunderous crash, and four figures emerged from within.
"Oh, so it was you little fellows. You actually managed to break the Formation I set up."
Yuanshi was somewhat surprised as well. These four beings differed from most of the Jie Sect's disciples; their bodies brimmed with pure spiritual aura. Aside from the two among the crowd, Tongtian had finally gained several more fine disciples.
"Zhao Gongming and the San Xiao pay respects to Master."
Zhao Gongming and the San Xiao were exceptionally excited. After so many years, after crossing countless mountains and rivers, they had finally met their master.
"Good, good, good!"
Tongtian said "good" three times in succession. The East Sea was incomparably far from Kunlun Mountain, and the fact that they had made it here showed the steadfastness of their hearts in seeking the Dao.
Yet at that moment, a figure broke the atmosphere before them.
A white-robed Daoist climbed the ten thousand steps and arrived before Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
"Ran Deng, an independent cultivator from Zixiao Palace, wishes to enter the Heavenly Venerate's tutelage and cultivate in the Chan Sect."
At once, Kunlun Mountain fell utterly silent, enveloped in a strange atmosphere.
No one was unfamiliar with those who had attended teachings at Zixiao Palace.
