Chapter 37: Chapter 37, The Majesty of the Outer Door First Disciple

Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal said persuasively, "The Outer Door Leader might be nothing in front of the senior brother, but for us, it’s still best not to provoke him."

Lingya Immortal suddenly stood up, saying loudly, "What’s there to fear? We are all in the Golden Immortal Realm; even if we come to blows, I am not afraid of him at all; it would also be a good opportunity to teach him a lesson on behalf of senior brother."

Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal quickly said, "Brother Lingya, don’t be impulsive. What you don’t know is that this Outer Door Leader has a special skill called tattling; the moment we provoke trouble first, he will immediately go to Shangqing Palace to file a complaint."

Lingya Immortal was stunned for a moment and disdainfully said, "Is he really that shameless?"

Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, he is that shameless!"

Qiu Shouxian, with a faint sense of pride, said in a deep voice, "Then let’s not cause trouble. Senior Brother Duobao’s sojourn at Mirror Lake is a shared place for all of us; surely we can move elsewhere to drink?"

Lingya Immortal stood up laughing and said, "Right! Right! Let’s go somewhere else to drink; drinking and admiring flowers is indeed the best pairing."

Everyone got up one after another, carrying wine and delicacies, chuckling and flying ahead.

In front of Mirror Lake, Shi Ji and company were quietly chanting scriptures, when suddenly a noisy commotion approached. A group of people chatting and laughing flew up and sat by Mirror Lake, lighting a bonfire, starting to eat meat and drink wine heartily, their laughter echoing around. Some disciples even fluttered over Mirror Lake and sat down pondering the calm waters, causing splashing noises within the lake.

The voices of Shi Ji and the others chanting scriptures abruptly stopped; one by one, they looked angrily at the brazen group of Outer Disciples who dared to come again!

"Insolence!" A commanding shout echoed above Mirror Lake, all the raucous noise vanished instantly, and everything between Heaven and Earth fell silent.

A figure walked out from the darkness of night, his face stern.

Shi Ji and the others all stood up, bowing respectfully and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal, Qiu Shouxian, Lingya and other Outer Disciples also bowed carelessly, cheerfully saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother, would you like some wine?"

"Senior Brother, don’t be so fierce! We’re all brothers here."

...

Bai Jin looked at the people sitting on Mirror Lake and yelled, "Get down from there!"

The faces of those on the surface of Mirror Lake changed, to be scolded in front of so many people?

A young man stood up, his face sullen and said, "I respectfully address you as Senior Brother, but this place belongs to all of us. If I want to be here, I will be here!"

Bai Jin couldn’t be bothered with further words, he reached out and slapped, the air vibrated, thud~ a dull sound emerged from those people, and they were all flung backward, crashing~crashing into the ground by the poolside, rolling and screaming in pain on the ground.

Whoosh~ All Outer Door Disciples suddenly rose, glaring at Bai Jin with anger – he dared to make a move? A heavy atmosphere echoed between Heaven and Earth.

On Taiqing Peak, Taishang, Primordial, and Tongtian, who were discussing Tao, also cast their gazes over.

Primordial said discontentedly, "Tongtian, you need to discipline your disciples well. They’re behaving without rules, recklessly running wild; how can they seek the Tao like that? With Bai Jin not here these days, your Shangqing Peak is almost getting turned upside down."

Tongtian, not caring at all, said, "Rules are good, freedom is good, they are all their own choices. Isn’t doing as one pleases also a path to the Tao?!"

A hint of displeasure flickered in Primordial’s eyes.

At the edge of the pond, Lingya Immortal angrily shouted, "Senior Brother, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to monopolize Mirror Lake?"

Bai Jin stood with his hands behind his back, watching them coldly, and said, "Mirror Lake has never been yours to begin with."

Lingya Immortal, suppressing his anger, said, "Is it supposed to belong to Senior Brother, then? Taiching Peak is a place we all share, on what grounds do you drive us away?"

Bai Jin extended his hand in a gesture of respect toward the direction of Shangqing Palace, then lowered it and yelled sharply, "Nonsense! Every blade of grass and speck of dust on Taiching Peak belongs to Master. When did it become ours to share? What are you trying to do? Seize Master’s cultivation ground?!"

All the Outer Disciples on Taiching Peak paled, seizing Master’s cultivation ground? No one could bear such an accusation!

Qiu Shouxian, with bulging eyes, stuttered, "Se...Senior Brother, don’t spout nonsense, who is trying to seize Master’s cultivation ground? It’s clearly you who are seizing it."

Bai Jin said coldly, "Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal, come out!"

Step by step, Long-ear Ding Guang approached and bowed, "Greeting to Senior Brother."

Bai Jin asked sternly, "I have established the rules for the Outer Door, do they know them?"

Exhaling a sigh, Long-ear Ding Guang nodded, "They do!"

"Is anyone attending the daily morning lessons?"

Long-ear Ding Guang shook his head, "No one!"

"Why?" Bai Jin asked coldly.

Long-ear Ding Guang euphemistically replied, "We were listening to the first disciple’s teachings and didn’t have the time to come."

Bai Jin scoffed, "Don’t use the first disciple as an excuse. As long as you are a disciple of Taiching Peak’s Outer Door, I am still your first disciple."

His voice suddenly rose, and he shouted, "Defying the sect rules, disrespecting your elders, all of you are to go into thirty years of solitary confinement to reflect and improve, not to step outside."

"What~" All the Outer Disciples lifted their heads, unconvinced as they looked at Bai Jin—a forced solitary confinement for thirty years?

If it were in a state of Enlightenment, not to mention thirty years, even three hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye. But to be forced into clear-headed solitary confinement for thirty years would be exceedingly tough to endure.

Lingya Immortal said angrily, "I won’t accept this!"

Bai Jin replied indifferently, "If you don’t accept it, go find Master and see what he has to say."

Lingya Immortal hesitated for a moment, a determined look flashing in his eyes, and said firmly to Bai Jin, "Senior Brother, I challenge you. The weak have no right to make the rules. I ask Senior Brother to accept the challenge."

Long-ear Ding Guang opened his mouth and then closed it again; letting him test Bai Jin’s strength and depth was quite a good idea.

Bai Jin suddenly laughed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Fine, this time I will properly educate you on behalf of the Master. Taiching Peak is a place for cultivation and seeking Tao, not for your reckless behavior." He sighed, "Being a disciple is really exhausting!"

On Taiqing Peak, Tongtian’s mouth twitched, You’re tired? You’ve been fleeing for years and still dare to say you’re tired?!

Lingya Immortal soared into the sky, shouting loudly, "Senior Brother, forgive my offense!" He summoned the Dual Yin Yang Swords in his hands and shouted from the clouds, "Senior Brother, please enlighten me!"

Bai Jin flicked his finger, and a streak of green light shot out from the tip of his finger across the sky, turning into an emerald-colored Immortal Sword that shot straight toward Lingya Immortal.

Lingya Immortal shouted in anger, "Senior Brother, you underestimate me." With a sweep of his Dual Swords, he created a vortex of Sword Qi.

Tongtian had once bestowed Bai Jin with four Qingtian Swords: Qing Ming, Qingyu, Qing Xiao, Qingyun.

Qing Ming was the Soul Killing Sword, soul-destroying; Qingyu was the Attack and Kill Sword, piercing through magical treasures, breaking the physical body; Qing Xiao was the Power Sword, able to draw upon the force of Heaven and Earth; Qingyun was the Fast Sword, fast as shooting light, extreme in speed.
