Chapter 378: Chapter 271: The Sorrowful Ran Deng, Duo Bao Joins the Jie Sect_2

And regarding the identity issue of Daoist Ran Deng, capable of entering the Purple Cloud Palace to learn the Dao, yet unable to join the Chan Sect?

Could it be that the Chan Sect founded by Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate is harder to enter than Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s Purple Cloud Palace?

Merely by virtue of being one of the Three Thousand Guests of Mortal Dust in the Purple Cloud Palace, Yuqing Primordial also needs to give face to Daoist Ran Deng and offer him the respect he deserves.

As the hierarch of the Chan Sect, Yuqing Primordial naturally values conforming to the Heavenly Dao and esteems propriety, subconsciously pondering all aspects.

Thus, for Yuqing Primordial, Daoist Ran Deng indeed poses a very troubling issue.

Most importantly, Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate had never imagined that one of the Three Thousand Guests of Mortal Dust in the Purple Cloud Palace would abandon his own path and seek discipleship within the Chan Sect.

After a long while, Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate had made up his mind.

With a wave of his hand, Daoist Ran Deng left the examination array and appeared before him.

Daoist Ran Deng himself had hardly reacted before the scene had changed.

“Daoist Ran Deng.”

Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s voice echoed, much softer compared to the sound within the examination array.

Hearing this voice, Daoist Ran Deng instantly reacted.

Seeing the Saint before him, his heart surged with joy: he had passed the examination!

However, he suppressed the wild joy within his heart, his expression remained calm, and he bowed deeply saying, “Greetings, Saint.”

Even though he had passed the examination, he had not rashly referred to Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate as his master.

Hearing Daoist Ran Deng’s address, Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate nodded slightly, quite pleased.

“Daoist Ran Deng”

Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate called out again.

Now hearing this address again, Daoist Ran Deng seemed to understand something; the wild joy in his heart instantly vanished, turning into bitterness.

Though his expression was still calm, he felt a sense of foreboding.

Daoist friend?

If he had really passed the examination, would he be addressing his disciple as a daoist friend?

He said nothing, still waiting.

In his heart, he still harbored some hope, hoping he could become the disciple of the Saint.

Though Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate would show face to Daoist Ran Deng, he wouldn’t consider his feelings.

“You and I are both one of the Three Thousand Guests of Mortal Dust in the Purple Cloud Palace, listening to the teachings from our master; if you were to become my disciple and acknowledge me as your master, it would be inappropriate.”

Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate looked at Daoist Ran Deng and slowly spoke.

Just as expected.

Daoist Ran Deng thought bitterly.

When he initially wanted to become a disciple of the Saint, he only considered that he might be laughed at by his peers due to the change in his status.

However, he didn’t expect that his status would lead to being excluded by the Saint.

The reasons for this, he could naturally understand; it was all about the relationships between himself, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, and the Saint.

Nevertheless, he didn’t give up but looked at Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate and said, “In the path of cultivation, the attained ones lead.”

“Although we are both among the Three Thousand Guests of Mortal Dust in the Purple Cloud Palace, the Saint’s cultivation realm is far superior to mine, how could I not acknowledge you as my master?”

Daoist Ran Deng could not give up, especially since he had abandoned his original path.

He must firmly seize the Dao of the Saint.

Otherwise, advancing to the Quasi-Saint Realm would be indefinitely delayed.

“Daoist Ran Deng, no need to say more. Regardless, I cannot accept you as my disciple.”

Yuqing Primordial’s tone was resolute, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation.

“I have long admired the Chan Sect, please allow me to join your discipleship,” pleaded Daoist Ran Deng.

After a long while, Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate looked at Daoist Ran Deng with a softened expression and said.

“Daoist Ran Deng, you and I are both among the Three Thousand Guests of Mortal Dust in the Purple Cloud Palace, I naturally cannot accept you as my disciple.”

Listening to the words of Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Daoist Ran Deng wanted to plead further.

But before he could speak, he heard Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate continue.

“Although I cannot accept you as my disciple, the Chan Sect is indeed lacking a Vice Sect Hierarch to oversee the sect’s matters, would you be willing to take up the role?”

Hearing the words of Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Daoist Ran Deng was visibly stunned, then immediately his face lit with a smile, unreservedly saying.

“Thank you, Saint. I am willing to be the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Chan Sect.”

“Very well.”

Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate had just spoken when Daoist Ran Deng felt a surge of fate merging into his being.

He understood, this was the fate of Chan Sect.

The matter was settled, and Daoist Ran Deng did not linger, leaving Kunlun Mountain to return to Lingjiu Mountain.

Currently, the Chan Sect had only the leader and himself, the Vice Sect Hierarch, so there was temporarily nothing for him to handle.

Upon returning to his cave dwelling, Daoist Ran Deng’s expression was as dark as water.

“Vice Sect Hierarch? Hah!”

Daoist Ran Deng couldn’t help but sneer.

What vice sect hierarch, he was just a menial laborer.

Moreover, the lineage has always been passed down to disciples, where does it get passed down to a vice sect hierarch?

Sadly, he had already given up his own Dao path, and now he had not yet found a new Dao path.

Unfortunately, it is easy to put down, but difficult to pick back up.

Now, Daoist Ran Deng could no longer embark on this Dao path again because deep in his heart he had truly renounced his own Dao path.

“Sigh.”

Daoist Ran Deng could not help sighing once again.

If he had known it would be like this, he might not have joined the Chan Sect. Now that Yuqing Yuanshi has spoken, he had no choice but to accept.

Taiyin Star.

Sitting cross-legged under a laurel tree, Emperor Jun suddenly opened his eyes, sensing a shift in the Demon Clan’s fate.

Although very faint, a change had indeed occurred.

River Map and Luo Book within Emperor Jun’s body slowly rotated, and he soon found the reason for the subtle change.

A trace of the Demon Clan’s fate had begun to connect with Jie Sect’s fate.

The fate of the Demon Clan was very stable, suppressed by the Demon Name List and overseen by Emperor Jun and Nuwa Saint.

On the contrary, the fate of the Jie Sect did not seem so stable.

The first being from the Demon Clan to be disciples under Shangqing Lingbao Venerate appeared.

Regarding this matter, Emperor Jun had anticipated it and was not surprised.

Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate repels the Demon Clan, naturally not taking any Demon Clan beings as disciples.

While Shangqing Lingbao Venerate is indifferent to origins, although strict in examination, he does not repel beings from the Demon Clan.

Before this, Emperor Jun knew, although it seemed this disciple from the Demon Clan had two choices, in reality, there was only one.

However, this was enough.

With a thought from Emperor Jun, a spatial barrier separated him from Chang Xi and Xi He, ensuring that no matter what he did, it would not affect Chang Xi and Xi He’s cultivation.

The golden Demon Name List appeared in midair, and with a thought from Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor’s Book rapidly flipped, eventually stopping at the page Emperor Jun desired to find.

This familiar aura, it was this being who had entered Jie Sect and became a disciple of Shangqing Tong Tian.

Emperor Jun fixed his gaze, only to see two Heavenly Dao Texts written at the top of the page.

Duo Bao.

Below was a picture of a chubby treasure-seeking mouse.

“Duo Bao?”

Emperor Jun murmured softly.

He saw that the image once again transformed, turning into a chubby young man.

When he learned that a being from the Demon Clan had joined the Jie Sect, Emperor Jun did not feel surprised.

However, when he discovered that this being was Duo Bao, Emperor Jun indeed felt surprised.

Daoist Duo Bao, the eldest disciple of Jie Sect.

He also had a renowned reputation in legends from previous lives.

He had not expected that this eldest disciple of Jie Sect turned out to be a being from the Demon Clan, and right under his own watch, only now discovering it.

But Emperor Jun soon figured it out, it made sense to only discover it now.

Currently, Daoist Duo Bao’s cultivation was only at the level of a Golden Immortal, and Emperor Jun, being a Demon Emperor and on the level of a Saint, why would he pay attention to a being at the level of a Golden Immortal?

Moreover, if not for Emperor Jun having memories of his past life, even if Duo Bao possessed the cultivation realm from legends of past lives, Emperor Jun might not have regarded him highly.

As for Duo Bao becoming a being of the Demon Clan, that too was normal.

In the vastness of Primordial, apart from those Great Divine Ability Users, who wouldn’t want to become a being of the Demon Clan?
