Kun Dao Ren was speechless, he was truly outdone by the words of the leading version. His tongue, which was good at speaking and debating, wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
He looked at Zhao Gongming and had only one thought in his mind: "Isn't it? Won't you?"
All eyes were focused on Zhao Gongming, eager to see how he would perform a great transformation and bring someone back to life.
Lao Zhao himself was also confused. He couldn't help but look at Bi Xiao, wondering if they would become sisters in the future. Bi Xiao knew that this statement was really shocking, so she kept her head down, afraid to look at him.
The Celestial Master had said several times before that Zhao Gongming was like him, and didn't want to see the appearance of a "Saint Mother". Zhao Gongming with his full beard would be too eye-watering if he were to become a "Saint Mother", so he decided to put an end to this farce.
"Kun."
"I am the disciple."
"You haven't yet figured out the path you seek. Go down and reflect on it. Come back to find Gongming for a duel when you have clarity."
Kun Dao Ren knew that the Sage had spoken, and all his scheming had fallen into oblivion. He could only bow respectfully: "I will follow your order."
The meddler was defeated by Bi Xiao with just a few words, and fled in haste. Not to mention the joyous expression on Bi Xiao's face and the resentful look on the Immortal Caiyun, the grand ceremony of personal tutelage continued.
This time, no one opposed. Zhao Gongming smoothly accepted the scriptures passed by Puo Bao Dao Ren and completed the ceremony of receiving teachings, officially becoming a direct disciple of the Celestial Master under Toni Tian.
He joined the most recently, calling Puo Bao Dao Ren as his elder brother and calling Jin Ling and Wodang as his elder sister.
Besides these three, all other disciples of the Jie sect must address him as elder brother.
The Celestial Master then designated Yun Xiao as the senior sister of the outer school. Yun Xiao had no desire to take on this responsibility, but the Saint's words meant that she had to endure and accept the order. From then on, the Jie sect formally entered the mode of Jin Ling and Yun Xiao as senior sisters, departing from the initial brother mode of Duo Bao Dao Ren and Zhao Gongming.
The Celestial Master waved his whisk, and a boy beside him gently struck the bell, producing a clear and crisp chime.
The interior of Bixiu Palace was transformed instantly.
The disciples of the Saints were arranged in the front row, followed by those sorted in descending order of their cultivation according to their levels.
It's worth noting that Kun Dao Ren was also seated in the second row, listening to the teachings.
In front of the Saints, the disciples were surely without cloud beds. They could only sit on rush mats.
Deng Chanyu had brought her own Saint's meditation cushion, which increased her cultivation and listening speed by 300%. Maitreya and the Medic also took out their Saint's meditation cushions. The Celestial Master glanced at them but said nothing.
The cushions, whisks, and robes were standard for Xuanmen disciples. Deng Chanyu's and Maitreya's cushions were equivalent to purple equipment. Chijingzi, Ci hang, and others also had their own ritual cushions that they had forged. At this moment, they were taken out one by one, which could increase the effect of listening to teachings to some extent.
All the disciples took their seats in order.
The Celestial Master spoke loudly, "Today, I will preach the Dao to all beings in the primordial era. The preaching period will be one year, and those who are destined to listen are welcome."
His voice resounded throughout the primordial chaos. The Santos, including Nuwa, lost interest. A Santo would not go to listen to another Santo's preaching, even if it were Nuwa. She put away her mirror for observing the heavens, stretched lazily, and instructed the Mother of Lishan Mountain to continue cultivating while she herself went to rest in the rear hall.
All beings in the primordial chaos, whether human, witch, beast, or ghost, heard the voice of Toni Tian. Even if they felt that there was not enough time, they still stepped onto their journey to the East Sea.
The Celestial Master did not wait for anyone and began the lecture directly.
As the Santo spoke, the golden lotus flowers within the Bixiu Palace surged, accompanied by ethereal music and a radiant glow enveloping the East Sea.
The "materials" for the Celestial Master on this side are relatively abundant. When others come to Jie sect to seek teachings, you must teach them something. The more you practice, the better you become. He has a series of achievements from human beings to Golden Immortals of the Great Realm, and the system is very complete. Disciples with various qualities and talents can find suitable achievements within Jie sect. It's a million times stronger than that of some Nuwa who makes up in real time.
He didn't start from the level of human immortals, which is too low and can be easily achieved with casual practice. Since the preaching session was planned to last for a year, he decided to start from the level of Xuanxian (Transcendental Immortal).
Deng Chanyu and others who are at a high level of cultivation had little interest in the level of Xuanxian. However, they still listened attentively and pondered the differences between how a Saint views the level of Xuanxian and how they themselves view it.
It took about thirty days to finish explaining the realm of Xuanxian, and then he began to explain the realm of Golden Immortal.
At this point, a large number of immortals from the Jie sect were unable to keep up with the "pace."
Many of them were only ground immortals, sky immortals occasionally, and there were only a few true immortals like Lu Xuan. The realm of Xuanxian is still the foundation stage, and they can barely understand it. The realm of Golden Immortal is equivalent to entering a "university," and they can't understand it at all. Some merely hear a few words and feel dizzy and stunned, their spiritual energy disoriented.
The Celestial Master did not require all disciples to follow him from the realm of Xuanxian to the realm of Golden Immortals. Those who couldn't understand or couldn't absorb the teachings could leave at their own will. He had no objections.
Some left, and some entered.
The Bixiu Palace opened its gates widely, allowing all beings to come and listen.
Gradually, some immortals from the Jie sect quietly left the hall, while more immortals who were practicing in the East Sea and came to listen to the Dao preached by Toni Tian upon hearing about it. Their levels varied widely. Some were entranced, while others felt dizzy after hearing just a few words. Nevertheless, they forced themselves to continue listening.
"Damned Bi Xiao, damned Deng Chanyu! Damned Shanpi! I won't let you off!" Immortal Caiyun was a true immortal, with poor qualifications. She couldn't even understand the path of Xuanxian, let alone the path of Golden Immortal. Additionally, she had injuries on her body, so she had to leave early.
She felt that all her disciples were laughing at her, looking at her amputated arm, and she hated Bi Xiao and Deng Chanyu to the core of her heart.
The Celestial Master designated Yun Xiao as the senior sister of the outer school, and she felt that the Saint was not fair, so she even hated Toni Tian.
She wanted to take revenge, but she knew her own capabilities. Talking about revenge was somewhat unrealistic with her current level of skill.
A young and handsome man walked over from a distance. Immortal Caiyun lowered her head and tried to avoid him, trying to leave the Jinsha Island as quickly as possible. However, the young man paid her respect towards her.
"Disciple Yan Xiao, pays respects to his uncle!" Yan Xiao bowed respectfully.
Currently, Yan Xiao is a disciple of the Immortal Mother of Fire Spirit, and is considered a direct fourth-generation successor in the Jie sect.
Yan Xiao considered himself a junior and thus showed great respect towards Immortal Caiyun, which was very satisfying to her.
"Please rise, nephew," Caiyun said, "I have only seen you at the fire spirit sister's place before. I really didn't expect that your talent is noteworthy." Yan Xiao had already reached the realm of sky immortals, causing Caiyun to become restless. She had been practicing in Jie sect for a few years and was now being caught up by disciples like Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao seemed to have a common enemy with her, and he made fun of San Xiao and Deng Chanyu for a while. Caiyun felt an instant sense of camaraderie and invited Yan Xiao back to her cave to drink. With each passing day, combined with her injury and dizziness, she eventually accompanied the handsome young man to Mount Wu.
As he watched the sleeping female immortal, Yan Xiao's face revealed a faint smile. With a flick of his fingers, the subtle black smoke invisibly drifted into Caiyun's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
