Senior Brother Is a Heavenly Dao Sage Too!?

The Western Land, the World of Ultimate Bliss.

Beneath the Divine Bodhi Tree, Jieyin and Zhunti sat cross-legged, their bodies enveloped in boundless Zen-like tranquility.

Behind it, Jinguang, floated two benevolent golden Buddha phantoms, exuding an aura of great compassion.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Jieyin and Zhunti opened their eyes together. Their eyes were filled with Chaos, Jinguang light, and full of Buddhist intent.

They raised their heads together, looking towards the horizon, their eyes gleaming, their gazes seemingly piercing through the void as they looked towards the other side.

"Whoosh!"

A moment later, a figure shot towards them and landed in front of them in an instant.

The person who arrived was none other than the Daoist Randeng had been angered away by Lin Yunji's words earlier.

"Unsuccessful."

As soon as he landed, he spoke these words to Jieyin and Zhunti in a deep voice.

How is that possible?

Hearing his words, Zhunti was extremely surprised; he had never expected the outcome to be like this!

He stared at the Daoist Randeng, as if trying to discern something from his face.

After a long while, Zhunti slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Randeng, why don't you tell me what exactly happened?"

"I proceeded according to my plan, going directly to Kunlun Mountain to request to join the Chan Sect. At first, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi did disagree, but later he began to hesitate. I thought I was about to succeed, but who knew..."

The Daoist Randeng paused here, his face turning cold, his eyes filled with resentment.

"How is it?" Jieyin and asked.

"Call!"

Daoist Master Randeng didn't rush to answer. Instead, he took a deep breath and exhaled repeatedly, as if only in this way could he ease the pent-up frustration in his heart. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who knew that Lin Yunji would ruin everything later?"

"He transmitted a message to Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, I think he said something, and then Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi immediately changed his mind and rejected me!"

"Of course I wasn't going to give up so easily, so I humbled myself and tried to plead with the Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi to change his mind. Just then, that brat Lin Yunji... that brat actually insulted me!"

As he spoke, memories flooded back into Daoist Master Randeng's mind, and he couldn't help but recall Lin Yunji's earlier words, "His skin is truly as thick as a city wall; you can't get rid of him no matter what you do."

In an instant, a Sha Qi suddenly emanated from Randeng's body.

If it were Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi who said these words, he might have been able to tolerate it, but it was Lin Yunji who said them, not only ruining his plans but also humiliating him!

This is a disgrace to the Randeng tradition!

If it weren't for Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi watching from the sidelines, he certainly wouldn't have let it go and would have definitely gone up to fight Lin Yunji!

"What? Lin Yunji? It's that brat Lin Yunji again! He's ruined our plans!"

After hearing the account of the Randeng, Zhunti's face also turned cold, and he said angrily, "He was just as despicable back then! We shouldn't have let him go!"

But he forgot.

At that time, with his cultivation level, he was not capable of keeping Lin Yunji here.

"Fine, since we can't join the Chan Sect anymore anyway, we'll just find another way."

Jieyin's expression was not good. He waved his hand at Daoist Randeng and sighed softly, "However, this is truly unfair to Fellow Randeng!"

"It's not a grievance," Daoist Randeng shook his head, his gaze falling on Jieyin and Zhunti, and then said, "You should know that I have already done my best!"

"After all, we had an agreement beforehand that the Primordial Expanse purple qi had to be given to me."

"Hmph! So what if you tried your best? You didn't even get things done, and you still have the nerve to come back and ask us for the Primordial Expanse purple qi?"

No sooner had the Daoist Randeng finished speaking than Zhunti snorted and said rather impolitely.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Randeng's face immediately darkened, becoming extremely gloomy.

Originally, he had made a pact with Jieyin and Zhunti. He would take this opportunity to pretend to join the Chan Sect or the Jie Sect, while secretly recruiting other outstanding disciples who could be recruited. Then he would persuade them to betray the two sects with him and bring them to the World of Ultimate Bliss to join the Western Sect.

In this way, the fortune of the East can be weakened, while the power of the Western Sect can be strengthened and its strength increased. It can be said to be entirely beneficial and without any harm!

If Randeng completes this task as agreed, they will give him a wisp of Primordial Expanse purple qi in exchange.

Both sides agreed that this approach was feasible, and thus they discussed a grand plan together.

In order to obtain the foundation for enlightenment, Daoist Randeng disregarded Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi pride and went to Kunlun to earnestly plead with Yuanshi Tianzun, all for the sake of joining the Chan Sect.

However, to his surprise, thanks to Lin Yunji, he failed to even take the first step of joining the Chan Sect!

"Junior brother, how can you speak to Fellow Daoist Randeng like that!" Jieyin Randeng's unpleasant expression, Jieyin smoothed things over, saying, "Fellow Daoist Randeng, my junior brother has always been straightforward and outspoken, lacking tact. He was only angered by the failure of his plan and the mischief of that brat Lin Yunji, and his anger clouded his judgment! I hope you won't take it to heart!"

"It is a great pity that Fellow Randeng Deng was unable to successfully enter the Chan Sect! But I still hope that you can frequently travel to the East to spread our Western Sect and attract those with affinity!"

"My Zhunti and I will naturally keep your request in mind and do our best to find the Primordial Expanse purple qi for you!"

"Indeed, if you can attract a destined person to join our Western Sect, we can seize the Primordial Expanse purple qi of the Hongyun and give it to you." Zhunti realized his earlier lapse in composure and, to ease the awkwardness, feigned kindness with a smile.

"OK."

Upon hearing their words, Randeng merely raised an eyebrow and agreed.

He didn't say anything more after that, and simply took his leave.

The Daoist Randeng finally understood that Jieyin and Zhunti in the Western World of Ultimate Bliss were not good people either.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had some use, I might have just raised my hand and killed him the moment I heard the plan had failed.

"Truly, all those below the level of Sage are but ants!" Randeng sneered. "Jieyin, Zhunti, Yuanshi, Lin Yunji! You all just wait! If I, Randeng, ever obtain the Primordial Purple Qi and attain the Hunyuan of Primordial Expanse purple qi, I will surely avenge the humiliation I suffered today!"

However, it is said that...

Halfway up the Kunlun Mountain.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Lin Yunji waited a while longer before another living being arrived.

This was also an old man, leaning on a wooden cane. He had a shiny forehead, white eyebrows, and a white beard, and he certainly looked like a wise and venerable sage.

"I am the Immortal Elder of the South Pole, paying my respects to the Sage Yuanshi." The old man stood before the Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and bowed to him.

The newcomer was none other than the Immortal Elder of the South Pole. Lin Yunji did indeed have some recollection of his name. Then he heard the stern-faced Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi say, "Enter this great formation before you. If you can pass through it, you may join my Chan Sect."

He could naturally see that although the newcomer possessed the realm of Mid-stage Golden Immortal, his life trajectory indicated that he had lived for quite some time, which was not in line with the requirements of the Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi.

After all, it takes a lot of effort to reach the Mid-stage Golden Immortal, which means his background was quite ordinary and his aptitude was poor, slowing down his cultivation speed!

"I will obey the decree of the Sage!" The Immortal Elder of the South Pole bowed to the Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, then moved and entered the great formation.

"Boom!"

As soon as the Immortal Elder of the South Pole entered the formation, the reduced version of the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation set up by Lin Yunji was instantly activated. Endless wind, water, and fire surged from within the formation, revealing their murderous intent intent.

The Immortal Elder of the South Pole gripped his cane and exerted all his strength to resist within the great formation. Even so, he was still struggling, but he persevered.

"Boom!"

Then the Wind and Thunder Divine Formation exploded with a deafening roar, and for a moment it even emitted a faint water-blue light, which showed just how powerful the Immortal Elder of the South Pole was.

"His cultivation is decent, and his State of Mind is good, but his foundation is truly lacking."

Looking at the faint blue light emanating from the great formation, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi spoke slowly.

"Boom!"

After a long while, the Immortal Elder of the South Pole finally broke through the great formation and flew out, looking somewhat disheveled and with a slightly disordered aura.

It was obvious that he did not have a smooth time after entering the formation, but he managed to break through thanks to his strong willpower.

This means he has the qualifications to become a disciple of the Chan Sect!

Thus, although the Immortal Elder of the South Pole appeared quite disheveled, his face showed obvious excitement.

"Would you be willing to become my Registered Disciple?" Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi asked him in a majestic voice.

"Willing!"

Although one cannot become formal disciple, being Registered Disciple of Sage by name is still a disciple!

The Immortal Elder of the South Pole was still incredibly excited, and immediately bowed and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master!"

"Very well, rise." Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi waved his hand and said, "This is my junior brother's disciple, and also your senior brother, Lin Yunji. Why don't you come and pay your respects to your senior brother?"

"Greetings, Lin Yunji!" The Immortal Elder of the South Pole hurriedly bowed to Lin Yunji again.

"Greetings, Junior Brother!" Lin Yunji returned the greeting, then said, "Junior Brother, my Second Martial Uncle has exceptionally high standards. It's quite remarkable that you've become his Registered Disciple. Don't lose heart!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Lin Yunji!"

Although the Immortal Elder of the South Pole had joined the Chan Sect, he still harbored regrets. Now that Lin Yunji out, he became even more cautious in his words and actions.

"You stand aside and wait with your master for the destined one to arrive," said Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi.

"I will obey the decree!"

So, the Immortal Elder of the South Pole stood a little behind Lin Yunji.

At the same time, he was also secretly observing Lin Yunji.

However, the more he looked, the more terrified he became!

The Immortal Elder of the South Pole suddenly realized that Lin Yunji's aura was profound and ethereal, as if he were surrounded by endless Daoist charm, and it seemed that he had merged with heaven and earth. If he hadn't looked closely, he wouldn't have even noticed that there was a living being standing there.

For a fleeting moment, he almost believed that Lin Yunji was also a Heavenly Dao Sage!

But how could that be!

In the present-day Primordial Wilderness Land, there are only six Sage. If one were to attain the position of Sage, how could any living being not know it?

Therefore, the Immortal Elder of the South Pole was filled with doubt and uncertainty, unable to fathom Lin Yunji's level of cultivation.

"Lin Yunji is clearly extraordinary!" thought the Immortal Elder of the South Pole.

"Second Uncle, why is your influence so ineffective? We've waited so long, and all we've got so far are two creatures trying to break the formation?" Lin Yunji seemed a bit impatient, and couldn't help but yawn lazily as he spoke.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi couldn't help but glare at him, "Don't be in such a hurry! Better to have fewer but better, more quality than quantity! Even joining my Chan Sect requires a certain fate! How can you force it!"

"Yes, yes, Second Martial Uncle is right! But if no more living beings come to test this great formation, perhaps I should take a nap? It's so incredibly boring!"

"You brat! I only asked you for a favor, and it hasn't been long before you're thinking of slacking off!" Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi glared and blew his beard.

"Second Uncle, what you're saying doesn't make sense! I haven't been slacking off!" Lin Yunji cried out in protest, but his nonchalant demeanor made him seem unreliable.

"How can this great formation be anything other than what I set up, and what I weakened according to your requirements? Doesn't that count as helping out? Now that no living beings have come to test the formation, I'm taking a break, but Second Uncle thinks I'm slacking off! How can this not be an injustice! Second Uncle, doesn't your conscience curse you?"

His words were heartbreaking, but judging from his expression, Lin Yunji didn't take Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's words seriously at all. He was just arguing with him out of boredom, treating it as a bit of fun.

The Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi was also happy to support him, laughing and coaxing, "Good, good, Second Master Uncle naturally knows, Nephew Yunji, your contribution is the greatest!"

"..."

This conversation left the Immortal Elder of the South Pole, who was standing to the side, stunned.

His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible, his eyeballs almost popping out!

To my utter surprise, this Lin Yunji was not only unfathomably powerful, making him unable to see through him, but also acted in such an unconventional way that he was simply audacious!

How dare he chat and laugh with the Heavenly Dao Sage and even say that the Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi has no conscience!

That's not all. The most important thing is that Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi wasn't angry with him at all, and even played along with him.

It was as if they had long been used to this!

What shocked the Immortal Elder of the South Pole even more was that Lin Yunji said that the great formation in front of them was set up by him, and that it had been weakened!

He might not know about others, but how could he not know?

He struggled immensely to break through the formation and almost failed.

Is this really just the weakened version of Lin Yunji's grand formation?

This Lin Yunji is truly formidable!

At this moment, Lin Yunji's image in the heart of the Immortal Elder of the South Pole became even more towering!
