Yuanshi Tianzun was too aware of what his fellow disciples and sisters were up to.
Deng Chanyu challenged Qingxu Daode Zhenjun.
If Deng Chanyu wins, the Lineage will face great shame, as cultivation masters who have been around for hundreds of years will lose against a peer who has been practicing for several years.
Defeat? Yúnxiāo on the side will surely say, "I and A Yù are close, hand-injury sisters. You hurt her, that is a slap in my face! I will fight again with you!"
Even if Qingxu Daode Zhenjun doesn't agree, Tongtian Emperor will use words to put pressure on Yuanshi Tianzun, wanting your disciple to fight against my disciple. No matter who wins or loses, it's just for the fun of it!
With Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's level, even after two hundred years of cultivation, he would still be unable to defeat Yúnxiāo.
This means that regardless of whether Deng Chanyu's side wins or loses, the final outcome will be that the Lineage loses face.
In fact, Yuanshi Tianzun also wanted his disciples to play the "no contest" card, so that it would be Qingxu Daode Zhenjun who would lose face instead of the Lineage. From this perspective, it is actually a testament to Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's good understanding and execution of the Saint's teacher's intentions. Deng Chanyu can't find an excuse to cause trouble, which proves it.
But now the three sages are pressing, and Yuanshi Tianzun can't drag it anymore. He also has to face it.
This matter goes against human nature, but Qingxu Daode Zhenjun isn't doing anything wrong. He is just used to the status of being a high-level cultivator. Accepting you as a disciple is a sign of respect for you. This is just a habitual thought, and from Yuanshi Tianzun's perspective, he doesn't think it's a serious offense.
He slowly opened his eyes, waved his hand, and a yellow-band powerlifter appeared out of thin air.
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke, "Qingxu's actions are impulsive. Send him down, let him bear twenty thorns, and from now on, return to Qingfeng Mountain and close himself up for ten years. He is not allowed to leave the mountain."
Qingxu Daode Zhenjun was taken down to be beaten, and Yuanshi Tianzun's deep eyes turned towards Huang Tianhua.
Even if you are now a mortal, it wouldn't help if you were to become King of the Deities after being enshrined.
Once you join the Lineage and learn the Jade-Crystal Taoist Method, you are considered a member of the Lineage.
It's impossible to say that your parents come over and let you take the child away. There's no such rule in the Lineage.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the second-generation disciples and continued, "The teacher-student relationship between Huang Tianhua and Qingxu has come to an end. Changlezi, from now on, it will be up to you to instruct Huang Tianhua. Can you handle it?"
Changlezi immediately stepped forward and kowtowed, "Disciples accept the command."
He was in desperate need of a disciple at the moment. Huang Tianhua, a prince in good standing, possessed comparable rootage, talent, and lineage to Yin Siu.
Deng Chanyu couldn't help but cast several additional glances at Huang Tianhua. As a fate destined to be an imperial teacher, Changlezi should not have been teaching ordinary disciples. What was Yuanshi Tianzun planning to do?
The remaining Lineage cultivators saw that Yuanshi Tianzun still favored Changlezi, and they all had subtle changes in expression. They all lacked disciples and were jealous of Changlezi's favor.
Cihang Dao Ren closed his eyes and remained silent. He believed that he was not inferior to others in terms of blessings, cultivation, and foundation. However, Yuanshi Tianzun only had his close disciples such as Guangchengzi and Chijizi in his eyes. He and Wenshu, Puxian, and others were simply ignored. Sometimes, it was heartbreaking.
Jia wants to take her child back home with her, but Yuanshi Tianzun's words send her crashing back to earth.
With things like this, who would still want to cultivate? Switching teachers, will they be targeted?
Deng Chanyu lightly shook her head at them, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm having some troubles too."
Yuanshi Tianzun calmly looked at Deng Chanyu, "Zhunuti Brother-disciple said that you are the top talent of the current Taoist School."
Fuck! Where did Zhunuti come from? Isn't he trying to give me a hard time?
Deng Chanyu quickly bowed down, "Disciple is foolish and unworthy of the sage's praise."
Yuanshi Tianzun pointed at her and said, "Your actions align with human nature, and there is the meaning of 'helping others in the path of cultivation and fewer helping enemies'. How can you be considered foolish? Your heart is as clear as a mirror, and your actions are on the right path. The long path of cultivation requires continuous dedication in the future."
His words were full of praise, and there were no flaws to be found. Having stood up, Deng Chanyu could only bow again: "Thank you for your enlightenment, sage."
Yuanshi Tianzun reached out and touched his face, causing Taiyi Zhenren to raise two questions on his face. Then he endured the pain and took out the Qiankun Circle and Huatian Silk from his sleeves.
The two spiritual treasures fell in front of Deng Chanyu. Yuanshi Tianzun continued, "These two treasures are fated to be with your disciple. Today, I will give them to my niece."
Teacher and disciple are one. There is no difference between giving something to Nezha or to the master.
Deng Chanyu's heart was tense and uneasy, unsure what kind of medicine this person was selling, but she had to bow three times again: "Thank you, Sage, for the gifts."
While she was pondering Yuanshi Tianzun's intentions, the Jade Clear Sage fell silent once again. Next to him, Yang Jie, following the command of Yu Ding Ren, took the first step forward: "My uncle has been praised by the Sage as the top talent of our school. Yang Jie is not capable enough to ask questions from my uncle."
Deng Chanyu suddenly understood: with the heartfelt expectations and the parting gift, it was as if he had been waiting for her all along.
Deng Chanyu first put away the Qiankun Circle and Huatian Silk. The restrictions placed on the two spiritual treasures by Yuanshi Tianzun had already been removed by him casually with his hand, allowing Nie Zha to directly refine them upon turning around.
She planned it all out and smiled brightly.
Since I had to bow three times, I should at least make a countermove.
She said, "My disciple is a talent contributing to the creation, and it's clear that he has learned from Yu Ding Brother. I also have several precious treasures from our teachers to protect myself. If we were to spar, it might cause some chaos in the Primordial Chaos. I would like to invite my disciple to the Void to verify his path. What do you think?"
Yang Jie furrowed his brows.
To fight in the chaos? That's a level only sages possess, isn't it? Even Archangels wouldn't just idle away their time fighting in the chaos. Are you qualified? Am I qualified?
If I go, will I be able to return?
In Yang Jie's eyes, it's no different from self-destruction. The earth, fire, water, and wind in the chaos would consume them in a few breaths.
Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to speak again.
"The Chaos is filled with threats, not a place to casually venture. Any injury would be detrimental to Nüwa-sister's heart. Do not make light of it, my disciple."
Deng Chanyu bowed a fourth time, delighted: "The sage's guidance is correct. I've been careless."
Yuanshi Tianzun, of course, was doing this to save his grand-disciple. He was worried that Yang Jie, being young and impetuous, might not know the dangers of the Chaos and would agree without hesitation.
Now that there is no Zhātao, Yang Jie is the strongest among the three third-generation disciples of the Lineage.
Yang Jie was unaware of Deng Chanyu's dependence, but the sage was well aware.
The dragon, phoenix, and qilin are now known as auspicious animals. This is because they are too scarce in number. It's a typical case of life forcing them to act like auspicious creatures!
The three races almost destroyed the World of Chaos before. What kind of auspiciousness is that?
The ancestors of the three races are similar to Hongjun and Luo Huo, all coming from Chaos. They settled down here after seeing Pangu open the heavens and create the earth, thinking this place was nice.
The instinct to consume earth, fire, water, and wind is innate to the later generations. Compared to their ancestors, they are far inferior. They would not last long in the chaos either, but they would definitely last longer than Yang Jie! Deng Chanyu will use the environment of the chaos to slowly kill Yang Jie, then return and have no problem.
Deng Chanyu's little schemes were exposed, and she didn't persist anymore. Yang Jie, who could also be considered a relative of Long Ji, wasn't pushed to the edge. She didn't intend to force him into a corner, but instead wanted to save a little face as victory.
