Upon entering the Blue Journey Palace, the Golden Soul Mother led a group of her junior sisters and disciples to greet them at a lower level.
Duobao Daoist was also among the group, but this one had a poker face, standing among the large crowd like a wooden statue.
The expressions of the remaining Jiejiao disciples were quite colorful.
It's not that they were hostile, but they just felt ashamed for their teacher to suddenly take on a disciple who was so young, making them, these older aunts, feel awkward.
Guangcheng Zi could be a teacher for Huangdi the Yellow Emperor, and the age of Jinling Shengmu is much older than Guangcheng Zi. Suddenly adding a junior sister in her teens or twenties, that is quite awkward.
To be honest, her disciple Yu Yuan was several thousand years older than the great-grandfather of Deng Jiugong.
Others can lower their profile, pretending to be innocent passersby, but not the Golden Soul Mother.
She smiled slightly stiffly, forced to greet with a straight face: "Geng Dao Friend, Su Dao Friend, and Geng Sister, you have worked hard. As the representative of Jiejiao, I welcome your arrival. Jiejiao has already made preparations, please let the three of you take charge of the main hall."
Before, she had addressed Deng Chanyu as her junior sister, but now she definitely couldn't call her that. What other title could she use? What title should she choose? She couldn't think of any suitable ones, and calling "Auntie" was out of the question. She could only use the more common "Dao friend" to refer to her.
Although Xiao Wu hasn't gone through the initiation ceremony yet, the fact that Tongtian Emperor has taken her as a disciple makes her a student. The rules of Jiejiao cannot override those of Tongtian Emperor. This girl who looks to be in her teens but has a bone age of thirty is now Jinling Shengmu's junior sister, unless she doesn't acknowledge Tongtian Emperor as her teacher.
Deng Chanyu was polite and said a few words before the whole family followed Jinling Shengmu into the main hall of the Blue Journey Palace, where the tablet of Tongtian Emperor was worshipped.
Jinling Shengmu first offered incense to the supreme master and then praised Deng Xiaowu in a bunch of flattering words, such as smart and witty, diligent and hardworking.
Xiao Wu immediately developed a good impression of this sour-faced old auntie. She has good taste! She raised her chin and looked at her parents with a touch of defiance. Deng Chanyu maintained a neutral expression, while Jiazi gave her a fierce stare. Xiao Wu immediately shrunk back like a quail, lowering her neck and adopting a reverent posture to listen.
When Zhao Gongming became a personal disciple, it was from the outer door to the inner circle, and the status of the inner circle is undoubtedly more important, which is why such a grand ceremony was held, inviting all immortals of the Primordial Chaos to witness it. It was also after this that Kun Daoist became a member of Jiejiao. (Chapter 816)
Xiao Wu is just filling the vacancy of the original four outer door disciples. This does not involve inheriting the sacred robes of a saint, so it is unnecessary to make a big fuss like Zhao Gongming did before.
Deng Chanyu thinks it's better to keep a low profile, and Jiejiao doesn't want the immortals of the Primordial Chaos to know about their youngest junior sister. Both parties agreed quickly and did not invite immortals from various places.
Jinling Shengmu gestured for Xiao Wu to come forward, and then she had her kneel and bow nine times to the tablet of Tongtian Emperor, formally becoming a member of Jiejiao. At the same time, she was given the name with the character "kong" (empty). From now on, she could be called Deng Wu Kong or Kong Xiao. Among family, friends, and fellow disciples, they would continue to call her Xiao Wu. No one would mind, as Jiejiao's rules are the least strict.
"Kong Xiao Sister, this is a protection talisman given by your teacher, named Chuan Xin Luo. Come closer, I will teach you the incantation for operating this talisman."
Jinling Shengmu undid a small bronze lock from her waistband, which was in a primitive and quaint design.
This is the top-grade prehistoric spiritual treasure, the Heart Penetrating Lock.
The Heart Penetrating Lock has the shape of a long life lock, with a golden body and inscriptions on both sides of the lock body.
Once this treasure is summoned, the target's three flowers at the top of their head and the five qi in their chest will all dissipate. Their three souls, seven ghosts, and five internal organs will be tightly locked, making it impossible for them to seek life or death. Even a Golden Immortal cannot escape it! These are all the behaviors of the enemy when standing still and not resisting at all. In reality, it hasn't reached that level, but compared to others in terms of its capabilities, it is definitely a first-class treasure in the Primordial Chaos that can immobilize enemies.
The Heart Penetrating Lock was a protective talisman bestowed upon Tongtian Emperor by Hongjun after the third lecture. Over the years, Tongtian Emperor had always carried this talisman with him. This time, as a ritual of teaching, it was like a tradition, passed on to his youngest disciple.
Tatsuhi lightly touched Deng Chanyu's elbow, "These are top-grade prehistoric spiritual treasures. We came empty-handed, like we didn't have any intention of bringing a gift back. Don't we have something to prepare?"
Deng Chanyu really didn't prepare. In the Guogan Palace, she didn't need to worry about these details. The talismans of her and her master were shared, and there was no distinction between yours and mine. In the Jade Virtue Palace, no one cared much about such things either. Now, she is caught off guard by this sudden situation.
At this moment, she is like a parent visiting neighbors during the New Year celebrations when the host immediately gives a red envelope to the child without any hesitation. If she as the parent were to be stingy, it might seem inappropriate.
The Heart Penetrating Lock is a type of enemy-trapping and captivity talisman. Tongtian Emperor giving this talisman not only has sufficient value, but also shows his care for the disciple, with a very good meaning.
Xuan Yuan Zhi Shui Qi, a protective talisman that Deng Chanyu had given to Xiao Wu several years ago, cannot be used to offset the "year-end money" now.
She has to shell out some money.
She calculates and takes out a long, black sword as dark as ink, which is not one of the four Zhu Xian swords but the fifth, Duan Xian Sword.
She said, "This sword has some connection with Jiejiao. Today, let it join the other four swords and guard Jiejiao together."
Her spiritual cultivation is extremely solid. After two hundred years of cultivation under the Jindian Jinfeng Bodhi Tree, her spiritual platform has reached a perfect and flawless state. Now, she no longer needs the torment of the heart demon to refine herself. Frequently attracting the heart demon would be an unnecessary overstep.
The Duan Xian Sword is of no use to her, so it might as well be given to Jiejiao.
The disciples of Jiejiao, all close to the master, have excellent taste and can immediately see the connection between the Duan Xian Sword and their own Jue Xian Four Swords. Even that wooden carving-like Duobao Daoist had a hint of joy in his eyes.
As the Duan Xian Sword enters Jiejiao and combines with the Jue Xian Four Swords and Tongtian's master's experience in the Jue Xian Sword Array, studying the properties of the five magical swords, he might be able to develop a Zhu Xian Wu Xing Sword Array.
With Xiao Wu officially handed over to Yun Xiao, Deng Chanyu and Tatsuhi have completed their task of sending their child to school this time. After sitting and discussing with the disciples of Jiejiao for seven days, they left the Blue Journey Palace.
Daji is busy with official matters, and Deng Chanyu is even busier.
The mountain of Buffoon needs to be repaired, and the Heavenly Court needs to be mended.
Tongtian Emperor has already turned the tide and is in a safe state. The work that was halted previously will now resume.
After decades of consistent refinement, the Fan Tian Yin (Heaven-Breaking Seal) has now unlocked the restriction of the 19th layer. This seal has a total of 49 layers. It's always hard to start, but after that, it will go faster, and the progress is still encouraging.
On the seventh day after returning to the Di Zhou Mountain, Deng Chanyu had just sealed away the stone gate she had previously used for spatial transportation. The contemporary sage immediately came over in a hurry, saying he had urgent business.
