While they sized each other up.
Tongtian looked around, finding the place utterly empty, then said:
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother!"
"Isn't our Kunlun Mountain a little too quiet?"
"Shouldn't we take in some disciples?"
Hearing Tongtian's words, Yuanshi nodded and gave a soft hum.
"Third Brother is right."
"We truly should take in some disciples."
At present, among the Three Pure Ones' disciples, there was only Qin Mu.
Moreover, it had already been many years since Tongtian had accepted Qin Mu as his disciple.
In Yuanshi's view, as Tongtian's senior brother, he could not fall behind him.
The sooner he took disciples under his wing, the sooner he could teach them.
Then, Tongtian and Yuanshi both turned to look at Laozi.
Meeting their gazes, Laozi remained calm. Mysterious Yellow Qi swirled around him as he said mildly:
"If you two junior brothers wish to take disciples, then do so!"
"I enjoy peace and quiet, and I sense that the time is not yet right for me to accept disciples."
Hearing Laozi's words, Tongtian and Yuanshi did not press the matter.
"Since Eldest Brother does not yet wish to widely accept disciples, then Second Brother and I shall do so this time."
As he spoke, Tongtian glanced at Yuanshi.
Yuanshi immediately understood.
The next moment, the figures of the two men abruptly rose into the air.
When one looked again, Tongtian and Yuanshi were already standing in the void above Kunlun Mountain.
Boom...
Immediately after, each of them released the pressure of a Quasi-Saint, sweeping across the Primordial World.
"I am Yuanshi!"
"I am Tongtian!"
"Three thousand years from now, Kunlun Mountain shall open its gates to accept disciples. All those with affinity may enter!"
As soon as the words fell, the Heavenly Dao resonated, and the proclamation spread across countless miles of the Primordial Wilderness!
At that moment, the living beings cultivating around Kunlun Mountain were all jolted awake from their meditation upon hearing the announcement of the two Quasi-Saints.
"The Three Pure Ones are taking disciples?"
"This is a Great Opportunity!"
"It begins in three thousand years?"
"That's wonderful!"
"..."
Countless secluded cultivators suddenly opened their eyes, their faces filled with wild joy.
One had to know that the Three Pure Ones were Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, future Saints!
If they could enter the Three Pure Ones' disciples, it would be no different from ascending to the heavens in a single step.
In an instant, countless living beings rushed toward Kunlun Mountain.
Though disciple recruitment would only begin three thousand years later.
These living beings still wished to reach Kunlun Mountain early. Perhaps they might gain some opportunity there.
Meanwhile, near Kunlun Mountain.
Two figures descended from the clouds.
They were Daoist Duobao and True Person Yu Ding, who had hurried over from Buzhou Mountain.
Back at Buzhou Mountain, neither Duobao nor Yu Ding had been a match for the Great Witch Kuafu.
Unable to defeat Kuafu, they had also been unable to enter Buzhou Mountain.
After defeating Kuafu, Qin Mu had entered Buzhou Mountain alone.
Before leaving, he had left Duobao a message, telling him to head to Kunlun Mountain, where Duobao might find his Great Opportunity.
Now that he heard the Three Pure Ones were taking disciples, Duobao was naturally ecstatic.
"The Three Pure Ones are taking disciples?"
"Could this be the Great Opportunity Fellow Daoist Qin Mu mentioned to me before?"
Duobao said excitedly, his cheeks flushing slightly.
After pausing for a moment, Duobao hurriedly looked toward Yu Ding beside him.
At this time, Yu Ding was equally excited.
Earlier, when he heard Qin Mu tell Duobao to come to Kunlun Mountain, he had felt a vague sensation deep within his heart.
In the unseen currents of fate, his own opportunity seemed to lie on Kunlun Mountain as well.
That was precisely why Yu Ding had decided to travel to Kunlun Mountain with Duobao.
Now, before they had even reached Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian and Yuanshi, two Quasi-Saints, had already announced to the Primordial Wilderness that they would take disciples. Naturally, Yu Ding was thrilled as well.
"To enter the Three Pure Ones' disciples is to inherit a Saint's Orthodoxy in the future."
"Such a tremendous opportunity must not be missed!"
Yu Ding muttered to himself, his eyes filled with longing and anticipation.
Seeing Duobao cast him a look, Yu Ding quickly said:
"Fellow Daoist Duobao, let's go!"
Hearing this, Duobao nodded. He then flew toward Kunlun Mountain together with Yu Ding.
At this moment, within the Demon Race Heavenly Court.
Lingxiao Palace.
Demon Sovereign Dijun sat high in the main seat, his gaze deep.
Upon hearing that Tongtian and Yuanshi intended to take disciples, Dijun's expression changed in shock.
"What?"
"The Three Pure Ones are taking disciples?"
Dijun looked deeply stunned, clearly caught off guard.
After Hongjun's third lecture had ended, Dijun had invited the Three Pure Ones to the Heavenly Court as guests.
His original intention had been to win the Three Pure Ones over.
Who could have expected it to end on such bad terms?
Though fury burned in his heart, Dijun dared not voice it.
After all, the Three Pure Ones' strength was there for all to see. Even though he was also a Quasi-Saint, there was still a vast gap between him and them.
"I never expected Tongtian and Yuanshi to take disciples."
After thinking for a moment, Dijun sighed.
At that moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi at his side spoke.
"Eldest Brother."
"This is an excellent opportunity for our Demon Race Heavenly Court!"
"Why not send some outstanding members of the Demon Race there? If they can enter the Three Pure Ones' disciples, they may serve our Demon Race in the future."
After hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Dijun nodded in agreement.
"My brother is right!"
"The Three Pure Ones are unwilling to join my Heavenly Court, but now that they have opened their gates to accept disciples, if members of the Demon Race can enter their disciples..."
"First, they can learn from the Three Pure Ones. Second, our Demon Race will have some connection to them."
At this point, determination flashed through Dijun's eyes as he immediately ordered:
"Pass down my command. Select Demon Race prodigies and send them to Kunlun Mountain!"
"They must join the Three Pure Ones' disciples."
East Sea Zifu Prefecture, Immortal Court Main Hall.
At this time, East King Duke had also learned that Yuanshi and Tongtian intended to widely accept disciples.
"Hmm?"
"The Three Pure Ones are opening their gates to take disciples?"
"This is meant to forge widespread Karma!"
East King Duke had always harbored resentment toward the Three Pure Ones.
Just like Dijun, he had once sought to win over the Three Pure Ones.
For that reason, he had sent Xuan Xiao, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, carrying three Primordial Spiritual Objects to visit Kunlun Mountain.
Who would have thought that the Three Pure Ones would not give him, the Head of Male Immortals, any face at all?
Tongtian had even slapped Xuan Xiao straight out of Kunlun Mountain.
Whenever he recalled this matter, East King Duke's heart filled with resentment.
No matter what, he had personally been appointed Head of Male Immortals by Old Ancestor Hongjun, yet the Three Pure Ones had dared to show him such disrespect.
Of course, East King Duke only kept his dissatisfaction in his heart.
Though he was the Head of Male Immortals and possessed heaven-reaching power, he was still no match for the Three Pure Ones.
"Though the Three Pure Ones are unwilling to join my Immortal Court."
"If members of my Immortal Court can enter the Three Pure Ones' disciples, they will surely become great support for the Immortal Court in the future!"
After thinking this over, determination flashed through East King Duke's eyes.
Immediately afterward, he issued a Divine Decree, selecting gifted prodigies from the Immortal Court and sending them to Kunkun Mountain.
Elsewhere, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, who occupied three of the Zifu Thirteen Prefectures, were also greatly shocked by the Three Pure Ones taking disciples.
"Senior Brother, the Three Pure Ones taking disciples is also an opportunity for us!"
Zhun Ti looked at Jie Yin with great excitement.
Jie Yin nodded and gave a soft hum.
"It truly is a rare opportunity."
"Since the Three Pure Ones are openly accepting disciples from the living beings of the Primordial Wilderness, our West cannot fall behind."
"Send people to Kunlun Mountain immediately."
