Chapter 47 Receiving and Instructing Zhunti to Accept Disciples
Countless cultivators were filled with astonishment. In their eyes, even a peerless power like the Eastern King Duke had to become a servant boy in front of the other party. It was truly terrifying to think about.
Just then, a golden light descended from the mountain gate; it was none other than the Daoist Zhunti.
"It's Daoist Zhunti! Lingxiao's third brother!"
"Could this immortal island be the training ground for the three brothers?"
Outside the formation, groups of cultivators once again mustered their spirits.
But then Zhunti kicked Dongwanggong, saying, "My elder brother made you guard the gate, and you've run away several times. What, are you being wronged by guarding the gate for my elder brother?"
The powerful figures' pupils dilated rapidly, and one exclaimed, "This really is the Daoist temple of the three Lingxiao brothers! And it seems that this Dongwanggong has been captured by them to be their disciple!"
"How terrifying! A peerless powerhouse has been reduced to such a humiliating position as a mountain guardian?"
Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, the boy who had transformed into the Eastern King Duke was kicked, but he only smiled sheepishly and said he would never run away again.
"Hmph! What a laughable fellow."
Suddenly, Jieyin's cold snort rang out, and everyone saw Jieyin fly down from the immortal island and land in front of Dongwanggong.
"Lord Dongwang, my elder brother's formation is unbreakable by anyone below the level of a sage. Where can you possibly run to?"
"Asking you to guard the mountain gate is a favor to you, don't be ungrateful."
Upon hearing this, the Eastern King Duke was filled with utter shock and murmured, "Those below the level of a sage are invincible..."
Those powerful figures who heard this were struck dumb, and the image of Ling Xiao appeared in their minds, their eyes once again filled with awe.
"Leave immediately, lest you be tainted by karma!"
"When you see Fellow Daoist Lingxiao in the future, you must treat him with utmost courtesy!"
In an instant, the powerful figures dared not watch the spectacle any longer and transformed into rainbow light, fleeing from the innate array outside the immortal island.
After disciplining the unruly Dongwanggong, Jieyin Zhunti returned to the main hall of the immortal island to report to Lingxiao.
Inside the main hall, Ling Xiao was instructing his four Calabash Brothers disciples: Ling Feng, Ling Lei, Ling Mu, and Ling Shui.
"Brother, that fellow has tried to escape twelve times in the past thousand years, and I've caught him every time!"
Upon entering the main hall, Zhunti revealed a smug smile, as if he were seeking credit.
"He's bound to get twelve beatings, but I guarantee that the next time he sees you, he'll be all smiles and politeness."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled slightly. He knew his third brother's reckless nature, and he guessed that the Eastern King had suffered quite a bit.
But he deserved it.
"Oh, my four little apprentices, you've all reached the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal! That's pretty fast."
As Zhunti's gaze fell upon the four Calabash Brothers, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"It's all thanks to the excellent teaching of my three masters!"
The usually composed eldest son, Ling Feng, cupped his hands and smiled.
"You brat, you're just flattering your third master. It's clearly your eldest master who spent a thousand years to expound the Great Dao for the four of you."
Zhunti smiled warmly and stroked the heads of the four Calabash Brothers one by one. "Alright, go out and play. I need to discuss some things with my eldest brother."
The four Calabash Brothers bowed in turn and then walked out of the main hall.
Ling Xiao sat upright in the main seat, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked, "Third brother, what is it?"
Zhunti picked up his glass and drank, saying, "Brother, while you were teaching your disciples, I went back to Mount Sumeru. It was quite an experience! It turns out that after you set up that great formation, Mount Sumeru became a rare blessed land, comparable to Mount Kunlun."
"Even top-grade earth veins have spawned tens of thousands of them!"
Upon hearing his words, a sudden glint flashed in Jieyin's eyes. He had been in seclusion and was unaware of this matter.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao was overjoyed. He figured it must be because the innate treasure, the Hidden Earth Cauldron, was of supreme quality and had been isolated from the heavenly secrets by a great formation, making Mount Sumeru the only top-tier blessed land in the Western Land.
"This is really good news!"
Ling Xiao stood up and said, "Shi Hao, Huo Ling'er, you two take my four disciples back to Mount Sumeru to cultivate."
Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er cannot stay on Penglai Immortal Island.
The two of them once followed me, impersonating the Dao Ancestor, deceiving heaven and earth!
If someone discovers this, my identity will definitely be exposed.
Mount Sumeru contains a supreme innate treasure array, the contents of which even saints cannot fathom.
At this moment, the four gourd brothers, as well as Ling Huo from the Ten Thousand Volcanoes, Ling Tu from the Wuzhuang Temple, and Ling Jin from Mount Sumeru, have all passed on their magic weapons and cultivation techniques. The rest depends on their efforts and their individual comprehension.
The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on yourself.
At that moment, the two children standing to the side respectfully agreed.
Having followed the ancestor for so long, their cultivation has already advanced to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and they only need one more opportunity to break through to Daluo Golden Immortal.
"My two brothers, Mount Sumeru is very far from here. You two will have to make the trip to escort them back to Mount Sumeru, and then come to see me."
"Hurry up, the day of the Dao Ancestor's second sermon is approaching."
At this moment, Ling Xiao spoke to Jieyin and Zhunti.
Jieyin and Zhunti immediately bowed and agreed. Then, they took the four gourd brothers, Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er, and rode the rainbow light towards Mount Sumeru in the west.
Ling Xiao stayed alone on Penglai Immortal Island, comprehending the ninety-nine restrictions within the Deceitful Demon Lotus.
"I've mastered the art of deceiving the Great Dao and scheming against the Great Dao with increasing skill. One day, I will completely integrate it into my primordial spirit and attain the status of a Great Dao Saint!"
"However, if I want to break through to the next level, I will still need to rely on deception and trickery."
"It's alright. According to the development of the prehistoric timeline, the Lich Calamity has now begun, which can be said to be the most splendid era of the prehistoric world."
He was simply curious whether his arrival would create a butterfly effect in the primordial world, and whether the final outcome of the Lich War would deviate from its original trajectory...
Time flies like a galloping horse. Many years later, when Ling Xiao met Jieyin and Zhunti again, he found that there were five people standing beside them.
Then the five of them all bowed to Ling Xiao with great respect and performed the junior etiquette.
"Brother, I have taken on three disciples: Maitreya, Suryaprabha, and Mahasthamaprapta."
"That's what they said," the guide said.
Zhunti smiled and said, "My two disciples are named Yaoshi and Yueguang."
Ling Xiao was taken aback. With his arrival, the original trajectory had finally been deviated from.
Some of Jieyin and Zhunti's disciples have already been taken under their wing.
But that's alright.
He has formed a bond of mutual benefit with the Western lands. The more numerous and stronger the creatures of the Western lands become, the better for him.
The waters of this primordial world are too deep; in the future, there may be conflicts with the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao, and other powerful beings hidden in the shadows.
This is why Ling Xiao takes on disciples. Without power, one is ultimately a lone wolf, and to truly become strong, one must plan for creating power in the future.
"There are seven senior brothers ahead of you."
"They can call me Master as they please."
