"Rise. Now that you have joined the Yin-Yang Lineage, you must diligently cultivate virtue, devote yourself to seeking the Dao, and perform many meritorious deeds to strengthen our sect. You must not disappoint your grandmaster or me."
Though Kong Xuan knew little about this disciple called Shen Gongbao, since his master had assigned him, it would naturally benefit him. He accepted him gladly. After Yang Jian, he had gained another disciple, so of course he needed to leave him with some words of guidance.
"This disciple will heed your teachings, Master."
"This is the immortal art of our Yin-Yang Lineage. Go and cultivate it diligently. If there is anything you don't understand, ask when I lecture on the Dao."
Kong Xuan taught Shen Gongbao the Yin-Yang cultivation method with his immortal arts. After giving him some instructions, he sent his disciple away.
Shen Gongbao had good aptitude and was courteous, so Kong Xuan was quite satisfied with him.
"Kong Xuan!"
After Shen Gongbao left, East King Duke spoke from the seat above.
"This disciple is present."
"Shen Gongbao is one of the important figures in the upcoming Investiture of the Gods Calamity. Make sure to teach him well. If we handle things properly, our Yin-Yang Lineage will be able to secure more of Heaven and Earth's destiny, which will also benefit your Dao Path."
Kong Xuan was startled by this. He had thought his master was merely recommending a disciple to him, never imagining that this was also part of his plans for the coming Investiture of the Gods.
Since it concerned a calamity, Kong Xuan naturally dared not take it lightly. It also affected his own future, so he solemnly agreed.
Soon, Kong Xuan and his disciples took their leave. Only East King Duke remained in Yin Yang Dao
