Yun Zhongzi Takes Xiqi's General Star as His Disciple and Names Him Lei Zhen

At this moment.

As the convoy stopped and a military formation was set up ahead, Ji Chang immediately became suspicious.

He had calculated before this trip that although the journey to Chaoge was dangerous, the danger should not lie along the way.

Without hesitation, he got up and headed towards the convoy, silently performing divination and calculations in his mind.

Although he was the one being protected, Ji Chang was actually the most powerful among those present.

Furthermore, he is also quite skilled in military formations. Only if he were to lead this formation could the convoy's full combat power be brought into play.

But no matter how Ji Chang calculated, he could not foresee the situation ahead at all.

In an instant, Ji Chang realized that he had definitely encountered a true powerful cultivator ahead.

And it's an immense power, so vast it's boundless!

But...

Despite this, Ji Chang did not feel much fear, as he was an expert in the Eight Trigrams.

Ji Chang was certainly not a fool.

Although he couldn't predict the situation ahead, he could deduce that he was definitely safe on this trip.

Even...

It's still a very auspicious draw.

Ji Chang naturally had no doubt about the result he had predicted.

When he led his men to the front of the caravan, he immediately spotted the Daoist priest blocking their path.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

As a master of the Eight Trigrams, Ji Chang was most proud of his ability to see people clearly.

Just that one glance.

He could tell that the man before him was truly unfathomable!

"I, Ji Chang, have been impolite!" Ji Chang bowed respectfully before speaking in a deep voice.

"Where do you reside, on which famous mountain do you cultivate? What instructions do you have? Why are you obstructing our carriage?"

"This humble Daoist is Yun Zhongzi, a cultivator from Jade Pillar Cave in Mount Zhongnan. Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Looking at Ji Chang before him, Yun Zhongzi's eyes flickered slightly.

Although Ji Chang before him possessed an extraordinary bearing and deserved the title of a wise ruler, in Yun Zhongzi's eyes, he did not seem like the founding king who could overthrow the Yin Shang dynasty.

But...

Xiqi was undoubtedly the most likely force to become a new Human Race dynasty after the fall of the Yin Shang.

Yun Zhongzi was quite certain of this.

He had traveled through the Yin Shang, and although at the beginning he thought the Yin Shang Karmic Luck at their peak of fortune.

But...

It involved the scheming of many Sages.

So what if you have great Karmic Luck?

Yun Zhongzi shook his head slightly, looked at Ji Chang, and continued:

"Just now, thunder roared, and a great star appeared; I, a humble Daoist, have traveled a thousand miles to seek out this great star, and I wonder if I will have the honor of witnessing your esteemed countenance."

"Yun Zhongzi..."

"Jianxing..."

Ji Chang did not hesitate at all and immediately sent someone to bring over the so-called general star, namely 'Lei Yuqing'.

Others may be unfamiliar with the Daoist name Yun Zhongzi, but Ji Chang, as the Marquis of Marquis, Earl of the West, certainly is.

As a qualified Marquis, Earl of the West, even knowing that he would rarely form a powerful force in the Primordial World in the future.

However, memorizing the famous cultivators and powerful figures, as well as the Human Teaching in the Primordial World, is an essential task.

As Yun Zhongzi of the Sage Celestial Venerable Yuanshi the Chan Sect, Ji Chang would naturally recognize Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi was not surprised that he had been recognized.

If they were disciples of the Jie Sect, they might not be recognized, but there are only a handful of disciples in the Chan Sect.

Each of them was absolutely renowned in the Primordial World.

This is nothing to be surprised about.

Yun Zhongzi's gaze, however, fell upon the infant who had been carried out.

Taking the baby, Yun Zhongzi nodded slightly. "Indeed, he has the destiny of a general, and..."

"My lord... the journey to Chaoge is long. I would like to take this general, Xingruo, with me to Zhongnan and accept him as my disciple."

"When the wise lord returns, we will send him down the mountain so that we can recognize him!"

Yun Zhongzi looked at Ji Chang and spoke softly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Daoist Master. I entrust my son to you now." Ji Chang's face showed a hint of joy.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Chang wholeheartedly agreed to Yun Zhongzi taking his child as a disciple, and...

"Does this child have a name? So that we can recognize him to you in the future, my lord." Yun Zhongzi glanced at the child in his arms and asked Ji Chang.

"Of course."

Ji Chang nodded immediately, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"My son appeared after a thunderous roar and a clear sky after the rain, therefore, he is named Lei Tianqing)!"

Ji Chang proudly stated the name he had chosen.

Good.

His quick agreement to Yun Zhongzi's request was partly due to his reluctance to send the child back to Xiqi.

If the child is taken away by Yun Zhongzi's dojo, then the child's name... will be decided!

Ji Chang couldn't help but feel delighted.

Of all the children, there was finally one he named.

Upon hearing the name of the general mentioned by Ji Chang, Yun Zhongzi's figure stiffened. He glanced at the child in his arms, then at Ji Chang.

Is the general named Lei Yuqing?

Marquis, Earl of the West, are you serious?

Unlike the Marquis, Earl of the West, who was only skilled in divination, Yun Zhongzi was a true Quasi-Sage, and at this time, he was also the disciple of the General Star.

Yun Zhongzi could still vaguely see what his disciple would look like in the future.

His face was as blue as indigo, his hair as red as cinnabar, his eyes were bulging and his teeth protruded from his lips; his body was two zhang long.

He was truly a brave and valiant general.

Only...

Is this character named Lei Yuqing?

Even with Yun Zhongzi's strong will, he almost lost control of himself.

"My lord, you jest... A general star has descended to earth, appearing like Lei Zhen. This general star shall be called Leizhenzi!"

Yun Zhongzi said with a kind expression.

"???"

Marquis, Earl of the West Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, looked at Yun Zhongzi with a blank expression.

"My lord, the day you leave Chaoge will be the day you and your son recognize each other." After saying this, Yun Zhongzi left without waiting for Ji Chang's reply.

In a few moments, it vanished from everyone's sight.

"Thunder..."

Ji Chang raised his hand, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to speak. He sighed, turned around with a dejected expression, and walked towards his carriage.

At this moment.

Above the sky.

Before Guiling and Jinling stood Yun Zhongzi, who else could it be but Yun Zhongzi, who was holding Leizhenzi?

"This humble Daoist, Yun Zhongzi, greets Fellow Guiling Jinling."

Yun Zhongzi, holding Leizhenzi in his arms, bowed to the two women with one hand.

He naturally recognized Guiling and Jinling.

Jinling needs no introduction; as one of the direct disciples of Tongtian Cult Master Tongtian of the Jie Sect, how could Yun Zhongzi, a cultivator of the Chan Sect, not recognize him?

Moreover, although Jinling started learning late, her progress has exceeded the imagination of countless people.

His cultivation progressed smoothly, with almost no obstacles encountered.

Even the Perfection Daluo realm didn't hold Jinling back for long; he directly became Quasi-Sage in one go.

This absolutely shocked countless people in the Primordial World.

Of course, Yun Zhongzi is now Quasi-Sage, and with his early entry into the sect, it wouldn't be a problem for him to address her as "junior sister."

If it were any other second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, they probably wouldn't dare to refer to themselves like that in front of Jinling.

And the Guiling...

Having just come from the Changsheng's Dao Field, how could he not recognize Guiling?

It should be noted that the battle between Guiling and Xiangliu, while not necessarily making the entire Primordial World aware of Guiling's existence, was still significant.

However, among the top cultivators of the Primordial World, they must all remember that wealthy and terrifying Daluo from back then.

And now...

Guiling has already achieved the Quasi-Sage. Combining the techniques he used during his time as a Daluo, he is now known as invincible in the Quasi-Sage realm throughout the Primordial World.

I doubt anyone will say anything about it.

"Guiling greets Fellow Daoist Yun Zhongzi."

"Jinling greets Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi."

Guiling and Jinling also bowed in greeting.

And Jinling followed Yun Zhongzi's advice and called him "Senior Brother".

As the last of the Jie Sect to enter the sect, it can be said that all the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect entered the sect earlier than Jinling.

Certainly.

At this point, Jinling was already Quasi-Sage. If you wanted her to call him "Senior Brother," he would have to be someone like Yun Zhongzi, who was also Quasi-Sage.

Only...

Within the Chan Sect, the only one who could make Jinling willingly call him "Senior Brother" is...

Perhaps only Yun Zhongzi could do that.

This has nothing to do with cultivation level.

It's because Yun Zhongzi is arguably the only one in the Chan Sect who hasn't really targeted the disciples of the Jie Sect.

While this wouldn't necessarily make Jinling truly respect Yun Zhongzi as her senior brother, it would at least prevent their meetings from becoming as awkward as with other members of the Chan Sect.

"I wonder what Fellow Yun Zhongzi's purpose is in stopping us?" Guiling asked directly without beating around the bush.

Because of his close relationship with Jinling, Guiling harbored a slight prejudice against the disciples of the Chan Sect.

Adding to what he had seen in the Underworld, Guiling undoubtedly had an even worse impression of the Chan Sect.

"I'm just curious which fellow Daoist stopped above this Xiqi caravan, after all..." Yun Zhongzi said, looking at the child in his arms.

"After all, I now have some karmic connection with Xiqi."

As for Guiling's attitude.

Yun Zhongzi was not angry. He understood why Guiling was acting this way, since the relationship between the Chan and Jie sects was no secret among the upper echelons of the Primordial World.

He disliked this.

However, the problem between the two religions is not due to the disciples, but rather to the differences between their respective Sage and doctrines.

On this issue, Yun Zhongzi doesn't have the influence to mediate the conflict between the two sides.

"Cause and effect... I think it's just a substitute for another's calamity!"

Jinling chuckled softly, glanced at the child in Yun Zhongzi's arms, and looked at Yun Zhongzi with a hint of disdain.

Jinling Ling was an intelligent person, and also Quasi-Sage level cultivator.

As long as it doesn't involve those he cares about, even if the aura of great calamity begins to spread at this moment, it won't affect Jinling too much.

Just by observing Yun Zhongzi's actions in accepting disciples, and considering the impending great calamity, she vaguely deduced Yun Zhongzi's or the Chan Sect's purpose.

"Jinling... this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation doesn't require me to resort to such methods." Yun Zhongzi shook his head slightly.

Although this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation was coming with great force, the Quasi-Sage level disciples of both sects were not too worried.

After all, in their view, this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation was not a true epochal Immeasurable Tribulation, and it was ultimately insufficient to cause the Quasi-Sage powerhouse to perish.

Even some disciples at the Daluo Realm held this view.

As a virtuous immortal, Yun Zhongzi was the least worried. It could be said that any member of the Chan Sect might face this calamity.

Only Yun Zhongzi, as long as he himself did not wish to, would absolutely not be in danger of entering the calamity.

Even...

The disciples he took in at this time, under his protection, had a very high chance of not being affected by the Immortal Slaughter Tribulation.

Certainly.

As a general of Xiqi, Leizhenzi was destined to be unable to escape this responsibility, but he had Lei Zhenzi's protection.

At the very least, it's unlikely that this calamity will befall his disciple.

"Yes! Yun Zhongzi doesn't need to resort to such methods, but what about the other disciples of the Chan Sect?"

Jinling couldn't help but scoff.

Although the reason is unknown, Yun Zhongzi's destiny as an immortal of good fortune is not a secret.

Although the Immortal Immeasurable Tribulation is dangerous, Yun Zhongzi is destined to be the safest among the two sects.

But...

The situation might be different for other disciples of the Chan Sect.

Although she hadn't witnessed it firsthand, Jinling could guess something from Yun Zhongzi's act of taking on a disciple.

In addition, there's Jinling's understanding of the Chan Sect.

It's safe to assume that at least half, if not all, of the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect are currently searching for a disciple.

Therefore, Jinling's disdain and sneer just now were not directed at Yun Zhongzi.

It's targeting the Chan Sect!

Yun Zhongzi naturally understood the meaning behind Jinling's words, but he was powerless to refute them, nor could he refute them.

That's the truth, after all.

An indelible fact.

Recalling the scene when the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi issued his decree in the Jade Void Palace, Yun Zhongzi's eyes dimmed slightly.

Yun Zhongzi also felt a deep-seated aversion to some of his master's actions.

But...

Just as he could not influence the relationship between the Chan and Jie sects, he did not have the ability to influence or interfere with the decisions of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

She sighed softly.

"Since you are Fellow Guiling and Jinling are here, then this humble Daoist need not worry unnecessarily."

Yun Zhongzi said softly.

Although he did suspect that the person spying on him was plotting against Xiqi and Ji Chang, the Marquis of Marquis, Earl of the West.

But upon seeing the Guiling, he immediately dismissed that idea.

Which powerful being in the Primordial World didn't know that one of the terrifying backgrounds of this Guiling was none other than the current Human Race Holy Emperor, the Sage Fuxi!

As the junior sister of Fuxi, the Human Race Holy Emperor, Guiling could never possibly harm the Human Race.

As for their purpose...

Yun Zhongzi was still aware of the situation.

Naturally, he wouldn't ask so rashly.

"Since I still have a child with me, I will not stay here any longer. Jinling, Guiling Daoist Guiling, I take my leave!"

Yun Zhongzi said this, gave a slight bow, and then turned to leave.

Both Guiling and Jinling were slightly taken aback as they watched Yun Zhongzi's decisive departure.

However, she quickly realized what was happening.

The wary look they had given Yun Zhongzi earlier immediately dissipated considerably, and the subtle sense of rejection they had shown vanished completely.

"Yun Zhongzi... he certainly knows what's good for him." Guiling murmured softly, watching Yun Zhongzi's disappearing figure.

"Yun Zhongzi... Senior Brother, you are one of the few disciples in the Chan Sect who have no hostility towards our Jie Sect."

Jinling, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly and said softly.

That being said, their next task is ultimately to find the reincarnation of the Purple Tenuity Star Spirit.

This is nothing shameful.

But naturally, the fewer people who know, the better.

Especially for the members of the Chan Sect, if they were to learn of the existence of the reincarnated Star Spirits, many unexpected things would inevitably arise.

For Jinling and Guiling, such matters are naturally best avoided.

They exchanged a glance, and without lingering any longer, the two women turned and flew towards Xiqi.

They are preparing to search for the reincarnation of the Purple Tenuity Star Spirit.

As for the Xiqi caravan below, the two women were initially only slightly curious.

After all, they already knew that Xiqi, or rather Western Zhou, would become the new Human Race dynasty in the future, so they were naturally curious about what the Marquis, Earl of the West of Xiqi would look like.

Looking back now...

He deserves the title of a wise and virtuous ruler, but he is not destined to be the future king!
