Chapter 380: Chapter 272: The Three Pure Ones Split Up_2

Under such circumstances, Shangqing Tong Tian naturally witnessed this scene, yet harbored no other thoughts in his heart.

His eldest brother had no intention of continuing to take disciples and always preferred tranquility; such behavior was quite normal.

His second brother had always set up assessments for recruiting disciples; this too was naturally normal.

Shangqing Tong Tian left the cave dwelling with Daoist Duo Bao and found a high place nearby. With a wave of his hand, the area became extraordinarily level.

He took out a meditation cushion and sat upon it, with Daoist Duo Bao sitting in front of the platform, at the place closest to him.

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, a crowd of life forms stared as Xuan Dou dismantled the array used for assessments, looking at one another in bewilderment.

They did not understand Xuan Dou’s actions, even though they had heard his words; they were still confused.

Among these life forms, some may have had guesses in their hearts, yet none spoke out.

For a time, the crowd remained silent, neither speaking nor acting, simply waiting quietly.

After a long while, some life forms finally took the first steps, ascending Kunlun Mountain.

Seeing that nothing happened to the first life form to climb Kunlun Mountain, the rest of the crowd was reassured and followed into the midst of Kunlun.

It did not take long for them to arrive at the location of the Chan Sect’s assessment array.

But now, there was one less assessment array here, replaced by a single array and a path.

Some life forms did not hesitate at all and directly entered the Chan Sect assessment array.

Others followed the path straight ahead until they saw Shangqing Lingbao Venerate sitting aloft on the platform.

The crowd dared not delay, promptly bowing respectfully and exclaiming, “We pay our respects to the Saint.”

Tong Tian nodded in response, saying, “You need not be overly courteous.”

“Your intentions, I am already aware of. Our Jie Sect’s teachings are without discrimination, all beings may seize the opportunity of life.”

Hearing the words of Shangqing Lingbao Venerate, the life forms who had walked here couldn’t help but feel joy.

Teachings without discrimination.

They hadn’t expected becoming a Saint’s disciple to be so straightforward.

There were no assessments, no trials; merely by walking here, they could become a Saint’s disciple.

Compared with the assessment needed to join the Chan Sect, joining the Jie Sect seemed far too simple.

Becoming a Saint’s disciple so easily even gave them an unreal feeling.

However, the next words from Shangqing Tong Tian nearly dissipated the happiness in the hearts of these beings.

“I shall preach the Dao to you; those who are fated may join my sect.”

The gentle voice of Tong Tian resounded.

So it turned out that reaching this place did not directly enable them to become a Saint’s disciple.

Their hearts were not as elated as before, due to the disparity between expectation and reality.

They had initially thought they would smoothly become a Saint’s disciple, yet they didn’t anticipate a turn of events leading to listening to the Dao.

Otherwise, merely listening to the Dao would have been enough to send them into raptures.

After all, this was a Saint preaching the Dao, and just being able to listen was incredibly fortunate.

Shangqing Tong Tian paid no mind to these life forms and began preaching the Dao on his own accord.

For a moment, phrases of Heavenly Dao Truth emerged, and the crowd couldn’t help but immerse themselves, quietly reflecting upon the teachings.

The topic of Tong Tian’s discourse was the realms from becoming immortal to the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

For most life forms present, this was beneficial.

Indeed, Shangqing Tong Tian had accepted the realms created by his elder brother and had implemented them within the Jie Sect.

Not only had Shangqing Tong Tian used these realms, but Yuqing Yuanshi had also implemented them within the Chan Sect.

Firstly, the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, situated between Golden Immortal and Daluo Golden Immortal, indeed reduced the difficulty for life forms to break through to Daluo Golden Immortal.

This was already proven by Xuan Dou’s experience.

Secondly, this realm was created by their elder brother; they naturally needed to support him.

The greater the number of life forms that cultivated to this realm, the more destiny and merit their elder brother would receive.

As for the Daluo Golden Immortals, after listening to Tong Tian’s preaching for a while, they remedied the deficiencies in their foundations.

However, they did not linger here for long, because the Saint’s preached content held little attraction for them.

Moreover, they had ascended to Daluo Golden Immortal without ever cultivating the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Tong Tian paid no heed to these life forms, and simply continued to lecture on his own.

The duration of the lecture was not long, merely a mere hundred years, after which Tong Tian allowed them to ponder on their own for a century.

After a hundred years of rest, Shang Qing Tong Tian resumed his lectures, still concerning the attainment of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

A hundred years of rest, a hundred years of lecturing, that was how Shang Qing Tong Tian maintained the situation.

At the same time, Kunlun Mountain gradually became lively.

Not just at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, but the liveliness spread up the mountain itself.

Countless life forms from the Primordial realm flocked to Kunlun Mountain, all with the same thought in mind.

Even if they couldn’t become a Saint’s disciple, merely listening to the Saint’s lectures was also a fine choice.

Furthermore, without Xuan Dou’s examination, the beings residing on Kunlun Mountain were now a mix of good and bad.

It was because of the presence of so many life forms that Kunlun Mountain seemed increasingly bustling.

Moreover, Shang Qing Tong Tian imposed no restrictions on these life forms.

It seemed he truly practiced ‘teaching without discrimination,’ merely lecturing them without any constraints.

Shangqing Lingbao Venerate remained indifferent to this, but that did not mean the other two Saints were indifferent.

Daoist Tai Ching remained calm, showing no emotion, as if the matter did not affect him greatly.

Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate sat cross-legged within his cavernous abode, watching the once quiet and spacious Kunlun Mountain become the noisy place it was today.

Frolicking, roughhousing, and the like were now commonplace on Kunlun Mountain.

Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate looked upon all this with a grim expression.

He was a being that greatly valued rules, yet now, those residing on Kunlun Mountain mostly ignored such rules.

Although he had sealed off access to his own cavernous abode, seeing such behavior still made him feel uneasy.

A hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years…

Taking advantage of the hundred years when Shang Qing Tong Tian was not lecturing, Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Daoist Tai Ching, and Shangqing Lingbao Venerate once again entered the palace.

“Yuanshi, for what matter have you summoned us?”

“Yes, elder brother. Whatever it is, please just say it.”

Yuanshi Tianzun did not answer their questions but instead turned towards Tong Tian and directly said,

“Tong Tian, Kunlun Mountain has become exceedingly raucous because of you. Why not expel these life forms from Kunlun Mountain at once?”

Yuqing Yuanshi’s voice was urgent, unwilling to wait even a moment longer.

“Elder brother, you already sealed off your own location, could you still be troubled by the noise?”

Tong Tian said, puzzled.

“Of course I cannot feel it, but these life forms lack decorum, and they are a disgrace. Therefore, they need to be expelled from Kunlun Mountain.”

Yuqing Yuanshi continued.

Faced with this situation, Tong Tian understood his elder brother’s intentions and thus said,

“Elder brother, if I were to expel all these life forms from Kunlun Mountain, I fear it may hinder my path.”

The matter had become gravely serious when it came to the path.

No one dared to take the path lightly.

He hoped his elder brother would take a step back.

But Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate also looked very serious, and addressing Shang Qing Tong Tian, he said,

“Tong Tian, I see these life forms as untamed, born of eggs and moisture, ignorant of rules, which equally hinders my path.”

The moment Yuqing Yuanshi’s words fell, the atmosphere became instantly solemn.

It turned out to be no wonder there was such urgency.

Even Taiching Laozi, who was beside him, no longer looked calm and became very solemn.

Taiching Laozi knew that whatever he said at this point would be pointless.

The path was not to be taken lightly, persuading anyone would be futile.

Shang Qing Tong Tian and Yuqing Yuanshi looked at each other for a long time, neither willing to relent, as the matter already concerned the path.

To give in once, would it mean giving in every time?

Shang Qing Tong Tian knew it was not appropriate to remain at an impasse, so with a carefree smile, he said, “If my path hinders that of my elder brother, then I shall leave Kunlun Mountain and seek another Daoist School.”
