The Three Xiaos Finally Arrive at Kunlun Mountain!

"After all, the Sage Tongtian advocated education for all, regardless of background or origin. He accepted disciples without regard to their lineage or origin; as long as they were devoted to the Dao and wished to join the Jie Sect, he would naturally accept them as his disciples!"

Hearing Bixiao say this, Yunxiao gently explained to her, "Look closely at those creatures; their aptitudes and cultivation levels are different, aren't they?!"

"Hehehe, it really is!" Bixiao seemed to have discovered something amusing, her eyebrows and eyes crinkling with laughter, revealing her small, white teeth.

"Let's go find our elder brother and join the Jie Sect with him. We'll become disciples of the Sage and, under Sage protection, our Dao Path enlightenment will surely be smooth!" Yunxiao said with a smile.

The elder brother she mentioned was none other than Daoist Zhao Gongming, and they had been invited by Zhao Gongming to join the Jie Sect.

"Okay, sister!" Bixiao nodded her little head, looked around, and hesitated, "But with so many living beings here, where exactly is Brother Zhao Gongming?"

However, this was, after all, the sacred ground of the Three Pure Ones Sage, and it would be very impolite to use Divine Sense to explore it. Therefore, they had no choice but to search with their naked eyes, which was much more difficult.

"I found him! Big brother's over there!"

Suddenly, Qiongxiao, who had been silent all along, stretched out her hand and pointed towards the summit of Kunlun Mountain.

Yunxiao and Bixiao looked in the direction she was pointing, and their eyes lit up.

Sure enough, when they looked in that direction, they saw, with all their might, that Daoist Zhao Gongming was sitting cross-legged in front of a group of living beings, with a plump young man and three beautiful young women.

"Wow, look at where my elder brother is sitting! Has he been chosen as the personal disciple of the Sage Tongtian?" Seeing this scene, Bixiao also became excited, her voice full of excitement.

Since they had come here, they were naturally very clear about the hierarchy established by the Cult Master Tongtian. The disciples who were at the front should have the highest rank.

As Daoist Zhao Gongming was sitting directly in front of his disciples, it was easy to tell that he had probably been personally chosen by the Cult Master Tongtian as his personal disciple!

"Come quickly! Eldest sister, second sister! Let's hurry and find the Sage Tongtian, and ask him to accept us as his personal disciples!"

Bixiao, however, couldn't wait to shout it out, eager to try!

So she took her two older sisters and flew towards the Kunlun Mountain.

"Third Sister, how can you be so reckless! This isn't our Three Xiaos Hall!"

Seeing Bixiao's behavior, Yunxiao was startled. She quickly stopped Bixiao and said in a deep voice, "This is the Sage ground of the Three Pure Ones, the three sages. Don't be reckless! If you offend these Sage, even my elder brother can't protect us!"

"We might as well wait patiently and behave ourselves. When the fortuitous opportunity, the Cult Master Tongtian will naturally choose us."

"Alright..." After being scolded by Yunxiao, Bixiao became much more obedient, but she also lost her energy and stayed where she was, her little face drooping.

His aggrieved look was truly pitiful to behold.

"Look, there! Next to the Sage Tongtian... it's him!"

Suddenly, Qiongxiao let out a soft cry. It was rare for her to part her cherry lips slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on her usually cold and aloof face.

Her tone was unusually excited and joyful, and even her beautiful eyes sparkled.

"Wow, second sister! What's making you so excited!"

Seeing Qiongxiao's appearance, Bixiao's curiosity was piqued, and she exclaimed in surprise. She had completely forgotten about being lectured by Yunxiao just now, and hurriedly looked up in that direction.

Then, they saw the Cult Master Tongtian sitting cross-legged in the void, his body radiating subtle light, his Daoist aura ethereal, his aura merging with heaven and earth, as if he had become one with this world. He was heaven and earth, and heaven and earth were him.

The Cult Master Tongtian was merely sitting quietly on a cloud, his eyes closed in a trance. Yet, his imposing presence exuded an unparalleled aura of power, making one want to kneel and submit upon even a single glance.

Bixiao and Yunxiao dared not look any longer and quickly looked away, their attention then being drawn to the figure beside them.

Beside the Cult Master Tongtian was a large, pure white stone, upon which lay a languid figure. Even with Heavenly Dao Sage like the Cult Master Tongtian Leader beside him, he remained unperturbed.

He looked quite relaxed, as if he weren't in that conspicuous place, but rather fast asleep in his own cave abode.

Such a scene had already attracted the attention of all living beings.

They were all speculating about who that lazy, carefree figure lying on the boulder was, daring to be so presumptuous next to the Sage!

Many people noticed him and gathered together to whisper about him.

"Look at that rock! Who is that lying there? Has anyone heard of him? How dare he be so insolent next to the Sage Tongtian?"

"Moreover, you see, the Sage doesn't seem annoyed at all; he seems more like he's used to it!"

"I can't see through his cultivation level. He seems to have an ethereal aura, and there appears to be Daoist energy flowing around him... Could he also be a disciple of the Jie Sect?"

"Regardless, to be treated so well by Sage, one must possess great abilities, Non-Self comprehension!"

"Shh! Since you know, shut up!"

"Stop talking! Don't provoke the Sage's impatience!"

"..."

As the many creatures whispered among themselves, Yunxiao and Bixiao also opened their mouths, as if they had seen something impossible happening before their eyes, their eyes wide open!

At this moment, they could absolutely say that among all the living beings present, none could be as shocked as they were upon seeing the figure on the boulder in front of them!

After all, they had seen that figure a long time ago and knew him!

They would never forget that when they were cultivating in seclusion on an overseas immortal island, a young man suddenly appeared and introduced himself as Lin Yunji.

His cultivation was formidable, his aura ethereal, and his strength unfathomable. He even slept soundly in their Three Xiaos Hall!

At that time, they were filled with doubt and apprehension.

Moreover, his temperament was quite eccentric at the time. At one moment he was full of the air of a superior person, which was frightening. At another moment he was very down-to-earth and would joke with them. At yet another moment he was very upright, which left a deep impression on them.

Most importantly, before he left, he gave each of the three of them an extremely precious Purple Heart Azure Firmament Fruit.

They were initially skeptical about the divine fruit, but after consuming it, their cultivation levels, foundations, and aptitudes all improved significantly!

From then on, they never forgot Lin Yunji and have been searching for him and inquiring about his whereabouts for many years.

Unfortunately, we have never been able to get any news from him.

How could they not remember such a person, with whom they had occasional causal connections?

However, to their utter astonishment, after so many years of searching in vain, they were unexpectedly reunited today, seeing the figure from their memories again in such a formal setting, leaving them completely bewildered!

"It's him! It's Brother Lin Yunji! Big Sister, Second Sister!" Coming to her senses, Bixiao couldn't help but shout excitedly, her little face flushed.

She jumped three feet high, grabbed her two older sisters' sleeves, and danced around excitedly, saying, "I can't be wrong! It must be him!"

This expression shows he's far more excited than if he'd actually seen Zhao Gongming!

"It really is..." Yunxiao murmured, her red lips trembling slightly, nodding repeatedly, her eyes filled with excitement.

"But who exactly is this Brother Lin Yunji? How could he be by the side of the Sage Tongtian in such a manner?" Although Qiongxiao was also very excited, she was usually quite calm and did not let the sight of the person she had been searching for for many years appear before her cause her to lose her composure. Instead, she suppressed her emotions and analyzed the situation in this way.

"Phew!" Bixiao let out a breath, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head by Sister Qiongxiao's words, and she couldn't help but deflate. "Is that so? And Brother Lin Yunji is indeed very powerful, but since he can be by the side of Sage, there must be a reason for it, so doesn't that mean... doesn't that mean..."

"He must be a powerful figure within the Jie Sect!" Yunxiao then said solemnly, "Although we cannot know his identity now, if we can join the Jie Sect, we will certainly have the opportunity to meet him!"

"We must thank him in person for this gift of spiritual fruit!"

"Yes, yes! We think so too!" Qiongxiao and Bixiao echoed in unison.

After all, after they consumed the Purple Heart Azure Firmament Fruit left to them by Lin Yunji, their cultivation levels had increased significantly, and they were even close to surpassing their elder brother Zhao Gongming!

Moreover, after that, their cultivation speed increased significantly, and their understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth seemed to have deepened as well.

In a short period of time, he had already reached the Early-stage Golden Immortal realm!

And all of this is because of Lin Yunji!

Bixiao's smile vanished, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and earnestness. She declared firmly, "Elder sister, second sister! I must successfully join the Jie Sect! I absolutely must!"

"Well done!"

Seeing Bixiao's expression, Yunxiao patted her head and said with a smile, "You're right, we will definitely join the Jie Sect, so that we can be closer to Brother Lin Yunji, and at the same time, we can't let him down for the help he's given us!"

After saying that, they did not linger at the foot of the mountain any longer, but instead climbed up Kunlun Mountain together.

But as they climbed higher up the mountain, they could feel an increasing pressure pressing down on their bodies.

It wasn't very noticeable at the foot of the mountain, but now they couldn't help but look into the void, where the pressure was even stronger, and that was where it originated!

I see!

The Three Xiao Sisters understood instantly.

The number of beings who wanted to join the Jie Sect was simply too vast. The Cult Master Tongtian could not possibly examine each and every one of them, nor did he have the patience or the inclination to do so.

Therefore, apart from his personal disciples whom he selected himself, he also devised a testing method for inner disciple and outer disciples in order to distinguish the backgrounds and wisdom of those who came to become his disciples.

The selection was based on the overwhelming pressure that enveloped the entire mountain.

The closer one gets to the summit, the stronger the oppressive force becomes.

That is why the countless beings present were all sitting in different positions on the ground.

It wasn't that they didn't want to get close to the Three Pure Ones Hall, but rather that they couldn't get close. The closer they got, the greater the pressure became, and they could only go as far as the strongest pressure they could withstand before they could go no further.

Meanwhile.

Lin Yunji was lying on the large rock, taking a nap with his eyes closed, completely ignoring the hushed discussions of the creatures below.

But suddenly, he sat up, turned his head, and looked in a certain direction.

Because he seemed to hear three rather familiar voices.

Following his gaze, Lin Yunji naturally fixed his eyes on the Three Xiao Sisters who were diligently climbing the mountain.

He couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips into a faint, mocking smile.

"You brat, you saw it too?"

Noticing Lin Yunji's unusual behavior, the Cult Master Tongtian transmitted his voice with interest. "You've noticed those three young girls too, haven't you? Their cultivation and background are far superior to those of the beings below!"

"And you can also feel the unwavering determination surrounding them... I just don't know what that determination is, but such perseverance is truly rare!"

"He looks just as good as that little rascal Duobao!"

"He's perfect for becoming a direct disciple of my Jie Sect!"

"However, now is not the time. I want to see if they can climb to the Kunlun Mountain step by step through their own efforts."

He said all that, but Lin Yunji was unimpressed. He even curled his lip and said indifferently, as if it were none of his business, "Anyway, they're your personal disciples. You can choose however you want."

"You brat! Those are your future junior sisters! Why can't you pay a little more attention?" The Cult Master Tongtian was furious and glared at Lin Yunji.

"And you blame me for not paying attention!"

"Shouldn't you take this more seriously?"

"Boom!"

Unexpectedly, just as the Cult Master Tongtian finished speaking, Lin Yunji suddenly stretched out his hand and made a claw gesture towards the ground below.

In an instant, the space in front of them distorted, and then three figures suddenly appeared there.

These were the Three Xiao Sisters they had just been discussing.

The Cult Master Tongtian: "..."

He was speechless for a moment, stunned by Lin Yunji's actions.

After a long pause, he finally said, "You brat, what are you trying to do!"

"Master, didn't you say I didn't care about my three future junior sisters? You also said that the three of them would definitely become your personal disciples, so why waste our time and their energy by making them come up the mountain on their own?"

Lin Yunji said this, expressing his disinterest in the theories that the Cult Master Tongtian Leader had just mentioned, finding them rather tedious.

Upon hearing his words, the Cult Master Tongtian's face immediately darkened.

He's contradicting himself both ways; no matter what, he does feel a bit uncomfortable about it.

He glared at Lin Yunji, then turned his gaze to the Three Xiao Sisters, preparing to say something.

Since the Three Xiao Sisters had already come before him, he naturally wanted to take them into the Jie Sect as his personal disciples.

However, just as he was about to speak, he saw the confusion on the faces of the Three Xiao Sisters suddenly disappear, and their three beautiful eyes did not even look at him, but instead stared intently at Lin Yunji!
