Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Xiao Sisters all had a slight blush on their faces, their expressions excited, and their eyes were fixed on Lin Yunji, filled with undisguised excitement and surprise.

They were still trying to climb upwards, and although it was becoming increasingly difficult, they persevered.

Just now, they felt the space around them suddenly distort, their bodies were pulled up by something and lifted up abruptly. Then, the scene in front of them flashed, and when they came to their senses, they looked up and saw Lin Yunji looking at them with a smile on his lips.

Even if they knew nothing, one thing they could understand perfectly well was that Lin Yunji must have used some method to move them from the mountains to this place.

The Three Xiao Sisters were first surprised to see Lin Yunji up close again, and then overjoyed.

"You brat, seeing how indifferent you were before, you actually stepped in to help them! I thought you'd suddenly changed your ways, but now I see!"

When the Cult Master Tongtian saw their expressions, he instantly understood.

"I suppose we've known each other for a long time!"

"Call!"

The Three Xiao Sisters Sanxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Suppressing their excitement, they bowed to the Cult Master Tongtian and said, "Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao pay their respects to the Sage Tongtian!"

The Cult Master Tongtian nodded slightly and smiled faintly at them, "Would the three of you be willing to join the Jie Sect and become my personal disciples?"

Upon hearing the words of the Cult Master Tongtian, the Three Xiao Sisters were overjoyed!

This is a direct disciple of the Jie Sect!

That would be equivalent to being an apprentice of the Sage Tongtian, right?

How could they possibly refuse!

The Three Xiao Sisters immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

"Alright, get up." The Cult Master Tongtian said with a smile, "You three sisters seem to have quite remarkable talents and profound backgrounds. If you are wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, your future Dao Path will surely be promising!"

It's obvious.

The Cult Master Tongtian would be very pleased if he could take in disciples like them.

"We will certainly dedicate ourselves to the Dao, cultivate diligently, and live up to Master's expectations!" the Three Xiao Sisters Sanxiao replied in unison.

Upon hearing their words, the Cult Master Tongtian also laughed.

Then, he had the Three Xiao Sisters sit next to Zhao Gongming, and after surveying all the living beings present, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Since you have already joined my Jie Sect, you must abide by the teachings of my Jie Sect!"

"Disciples should be courteous and respectful, refrain from provoking disputes, and live in harmony, learning from each other and making progress together."

"Respecting teachers and valuing their teachings is the first principle; respecting etiquette and observing discipline is the second; and maintaining a proper order of seniority is the third."

"Anyone who betrays our sect or causes trouble without cause will be expelled from the Primordial Spirit at best, and their soul will be extracted at worst."

"Have you all understood?"

"Boom!"

After asking this question, the Cult Master Tongtian released a trace of Sage pressure, causing the beings present to tremble and break out in a cold sweat.

Although the Cult Master Tongtian only released a trace of his aura, it was enough for them to feel immense pressure.

Therefore, all the disciples respectfully responded loudly, "We will remember our Master's teachings!"

"Good!"

The Cult Master Tongtian then said, "In the past hundred years, I have introduced you to the Jie Sect, who are also your senior brothers and sisters."

"I currently have eight personally taught disciples."

"They are Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, Guiling, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao."

"Keep them in mind. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation in the future, you can ask them, and they will certainly answer your questions."

The Cult Master Tongtian spoke these words, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of every living being and straight to their souls, so that they would remember them instantly.

Then he pointed to Lin Yunji, who was still sitting lazily on the rock.

The Cult Master Tongtian couldn't help but twitch his lips, but still said, "And this one! His name is Lin Yunji, a disciple I took under my wing tens of thousands of years ago."

"Although he is not my personal disciple, he can teach and discipline my personal disciples on my behalf."

You may call him Senior Brother.

"From now on, you must treat him with the same respect you would show to a teacher. Do you all understand?"

"Splash!"

As soon as the Cult Master Tongtian Leader finished speaking, the disciples of the Jie Sect present were in an uproar.

They all stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe what they were hearing, their faces showing disbelief.

"Hiss! He... he's actually our senior brother?"

"Our senior brother is actually such a carefree and irresponsible person?"

"Shh! Watch your words! If it's what Master said, how could it be false!?"

"But... Master's statement that seeing him is like seeing Master himself... isn't that a bit absurd?"

"What's wrong with that! Senior Brother must have his reasons for being valued; we just need to follow his lead!"

"Yes, no wonder he can rely on his master so brazenly."

"I can't tell how powerful he is, nor do I know what level of cultivation he's at?"

"..."

Immediately, many disciples of the Jie Sect began to discuss it.

All the disciples' eyes were fixed on Lin Yunji, making him the focus of the entire audience once again.

The Three Xiao Sisters of Sanxiao also stared intently at Lin Yunji, their beautiful eyes sparkling with light.

Although they were shocked, they were also happy for Lin Yunji and for them.

It was as if this would give them a chance to get in touch with Lin Yunji.

"He's actually our senior brother!" Bixiao exclaimed softly, her voice filled with excitement and joy.

"The Sage's chief disciple, no wonder he was so powerful when I first met him!" Yunxiao said.

"Truly remarkable!" Qiongxiao responded. Although she didn't say much, it was clear from her eyes how much she cared about Lin Yunji. Her gaze remained fixed on him, never wavering.

"???"

Compared to the inner turmoil of the disciples of the Jie Sect, Lin Yunji felt no joy at being valued by the Cult Master Tongtian; on the contrary, he was quite speechless.

His face clearly showed his frustration!

How could he not understand that the Cult Master Tongtian had put him in the eye of the storm?

Lin Yunji couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, and said to him in a low voice without any politeness, "Master, you actually tricked me like this on purpose!"

"You're making me sound so special! Isn't it just a way to sideline me and make me take on the responsibility of teaching the disciples of the Jie Sect?"

"I never expected this! Master, you're such a sly one, your heart is utterly black!"

"..."

Lin Yunji transmitted his voice, bluntly criticizing the Cult Master Tongtian.

However, to his surprise, no matter what he said, the Cult Master Tongtian seemed not to hear him at all, and his expression remained unchanged.

But Lin Yunji always felt that there was a hint of smugness in the smile on his lips, as if to say: You got tricked, didn't you? You brat, so what if you know? You still have to take the blame, don't you?

Seeing the Cult Master Tongtian's Lin Yunji grew increasingly angry!

Just then, Lin Yunji caught a glimpse of Daoist Duobao sitting a little in front of him. The latter was rolling his eyes, seemingly plotting something.

Suddenly, Lin Yunji had an idea.

Thinking this, he stood up from the large rock, slowly straightened his clothes, and then smiled gently at the group of disciples of the Jie Sect, saying, "Junior brothers and sisters, it's not that I, your senior brother, am unwilling to teach you. You don't know, I have a very bad temper and am extremely difficult to get along with. My mood swings are my norm, and I'm afraid that this will cause you to have a rift with me."

"But Duobao Brother Duobao is different! He is gentle and mild-mannered, and he told me before that he was looking forward to new disciples joining the Jie Sect and longed for a warm family."

"Furthermore, Duobao Brother Duobao is always kind and helpful, and I'm sure he'll be happy to lend a hand to you in your future cultivation."

"Duobao Brother Duobao, am I right?"

Lin Yunji said the last sentence to Daoist Duobao, looking at him with a half-smile that made the latter shiver involuntarily.

"Gulp." Daoist Duobao swallowed hard. He wanted to stand up and refute Lin Yunji's words, but he stopped when he saw the smile on Lin Yunji's lips.

"Yes... right... I think so..."

Daoist Duobao was in a very difficult situation, so he could only stand up, force a smile that looked worse than crying, and cup his hands in greeting to the group of the Jie Sect.

Duobao wanted to hit someone when he heard this, but what frustrated him was that the target was Lin Yunji.

So he chose to swallow his anger!

"You brat!"

Upon seeing this scene, the Cult Master Tongtian couldn't help but glare fiercely at Lin Yunji.

However, knowing Lin Yunji's temperament, he didn't say anything, but simply waved to the group of the Jie Sect disciples and said, "If there's nothing else, you may all disperse! You need to cultivate diligently and bring glory to our Jie Sect!"

"I will obey Master's decree!"

Therefore, all the disciples of the Jie Sect dispersed, leaving only a few of their direct disciples, such as Duobao and Zhao Gongming, behind.

"Come with me into the hall," said the Cult Master Tongtian, then stood up.

Duobao and his group, along with Lin Yunji, a total of nine people, followed the Cult Master Tongtian to the Three Pure Ones Hall, where they paid their respects to Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi.

"Third Brother, it's not that I'm unhappy, but if you only had a fondness for talent, accepting these few personal disciples would be fine. Why do you have to take on so many disciples?"

"They even divided it into inner and outer sects."

After the Daoist Duobao others had exchanged greetings, the Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi finally couldn't contain his disgust and said, "You must understand, a disciple values quality over quantity!"

"Second Senior Brother, how can you say that?"

Faced with the admonition of the Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, the Cult Master Tongtian Dao Contention, "I wasn't there to interfere when you were accepting disciples, so how dare you criticize me now that I'm accepting disciples?"

"Hmph! Stubborn!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi snorted coldly and turned his face away, no longer wanting to pay attention to Cult Master Tongtian.

Laozi, standing to the side, hadn't uttered a single word from beginning to end.

It is obvious that he has never cared about arguments or debates, dislikes excitement, and is inactive in his thinking, so naturally he is not worth pursuing.

"Now that you are my personal disciples, I should bestow upon you some Law Treasure for your protection." Seeing that Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi remained silent, Cult Master Tongtian addressed his disciples.

"Duobao, I have already bestowed upon you Law Treasure before, so I will not include you in this list."

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cult Master Tongtian waved his hand, and one after another, gleaming magical Law Treasure appeared in the void.

Everything I see is extraordinary!

"Jinling, I bestow upon you Innate Low-Grade Spirit Treasure: the Dragon-Tiger Ruyi and the Four Symbols Pagoda."

"Wudang, I bestow upon you Treasure-Gathering Basin."

"Guiling, I bestow upon you the Sun-Moon Pearl, Innate Low-Grade Spirit Treasure."

"Zhao Gongming, this is a gift from your master..."

"..."

The Cult Master Tongtian provided each of them with a suitable Law Treasure, most of which were Innate Spirit Treasure, all of which he had obtained from the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

"Thank you, Master, for the treasure! We will certainly refine it carefully!"

They were naturally delighted to receive all sorts of gifts and thanked the Cult Master Tongtian profusely.

This is Innate Spirit Treasure!

These were treasures they could never have imagined before, let alone seen!

They were all quite satisfied to have obtained such a powerful Law Treasure.

"Alright, if you have nothing else to do, find a cave abode in the Kunlun Mountain and cultivate diligently!" After giving them the treasures, the Cult Master Tongtian did not keep them any longer. With a wave of his hand, he sent his disciples away.

"Yes!"

Therefore, Daoist Duobao and the others prepared to leave.

But at that moment, the Cult Master Tongtian cleared his throat for some unknown reason. His disciples, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks and heard him say, "If you still want treasures, you can go to your eldest brother. He possesses far more treasures than I do!"

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the Cult Master Tongtian finished speaking, Jinling Wudang the others looked at Lin Yunji together, and at the same time, they showed expressions of shock.

They couldn't understand why Lin Yunji possessed more treasures than the Cult Master Tongtian.

The Cult Master Tongtian is a genuine Heavenly Dao Sage!

He possesses numerous Divine Ability and Law Treasure, but why does Lin Yunji have even more?

However, since it was said by the Cult Master Tongtian, it must be true.

In that instant, they all stared at Lin Yunji with hopeful eyes.

Why are you all looking at me?

"Want Law Treasure? Go find Law Treasure yourself!"

"Still looking? Then I suggest you turn around and look at the great formation outside the hall, and think about why Junior Brother Huanglong is still inside."
