The First Demon of the Chan Sect
Chapter 141 - 141 87 The Three Pure Ones Take Disciples Part 2

141: Chapter 87: The Three Pure Ones Take Disciples (Part 2) 141: Chapter 87: The Three Pure Ones Take Disciples (Part 2) Li Qingming had stayed in the formation for a thousand years.

In just a thousand years, only a third of the billions of beings within the formation remained; countless beings were expelled by the white mist from the Heart Refining Array every day.

During this period, Li Qingming had also become acquainted with several young men of the Human Clan, steadfast in mind and already accomplished as Heavenly Immortals.

However, these young men, who had followed Yuan Qing to the inland, did not recognize that the big brother who treated them like siblings was actually the Human Clan’s Saint Father.

Days passed leisurely, and soon a few hundred years had gone by.

The living beings in the great formation were flicked away by the white mist so swiftly that they vanished without a trace.

Now, only fifteen individuals remained in the formation, including Li Qingming.

These fifteen were none other than Randeng, Yun Zhongzi, Nanji Immortal, and the renowned Twelve Golden Immortals of later generations: Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Master Yu Ding, Taiyi True Man, Master Huang Long, Manjusri, Master Puxian, Ci Hang Daoist, Lingbao Daoist, Ju Liusun, Daoist Master, and Qingxu Daoist.

These fifteen individuals were all of extraordinary talents and possessed great fortune and virtue.

Speaking of Randeng, he was innately formed, transformed from one of the two spirit coffins!

He was born with an understanding of a fraction of the Annihilation Principle!

Like The Three Pure Ones, he was also a guest in the three thousand Zixiao Palaces.

Do you remember Nine Nether Ancestor?

When everyone was fighting Luo Hou, Nine Nether Ancestor once took out a wooden board with an ancient lamp embedded in the middle.

Actually, that wooden board was forcibly removed by Nine Nether Ancestor from one of the spirit coffins in Yuan Jue Cave of Lingjiu Mountain.

There were originally two coffins in the cave; the first had already transformed, which was Randeng.

The second coffin was reserved by Randeng for making his external body later on!

But when he returned to the cave after many years, he found only the remnants of the second coffin.

For this, he cursed the main perpetrator for years, swearing to severely punish the culprit.

Speaking of Yun Zhongzi, he was transformed from the very first auspicious cloud between Heaven and Earth.

Although not a spirit of innate merit, he was a naturally born blessed immortal!

It can be said that as long as he remains untouched by karma, with the protection of Primordial, there is no risk of perishing and he can enjoy infinite tribulations in peace.

Then there’s Nanji Immortal, who was transformed from the Kunlun Spiritual Vein!

Since The Three Pure Ones were transformed from East Kunlun, Nanji Immortal inherently carried the rich aura of The Three Pure Ones and, combined with constantly listening to The Three Pure Ones’ teachings day and night, this truly was a Great Creation and great fortune!

In fact, among these fifteen, the one who most captured Li Qingming’s attention was not the others, but Huang Long.

Huang Long was originally the longest river in the Primordial Land, the spirit of the Yellow River, born with the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

He also held the heaven-granted position of overseeing all rivers of the Primordial Land.

Li Qingming, in his past life, was a true Huaxia person.

The Yellow River is one of the main cradles of the Chinese Nation; hence, Huaxia people also call the Yellow River the “Mother River!”

Thus, although Li Qingming had reincarnated as a Demon, his sense of belonging and various emotions towards Huaxia were deeply imprinted in his soul!

No matter how the world changed and years passed, this was something that could never be erased!

Towards the Yellow River, towards Huang Long, Li Qingming felt a heartfelt sense of kinship.

Moreover, he was willing to grow close to Huang Long, who was tall, sturdy, and simple-natured.

As for the rest of the famous Golden Immortals of later generations, they were all outstanding new talents of the Human Clan.

Not only were they firm in spirit, but they had also advanced to Heavenly Immortals solely by practicing those twelve Combat Skills, truly exceptional talents!

“Fellows, we have now reached the end!

I believe White Crane Boy has been waiting for a long time!

Let us quickly exit the formation!” Li Qingming looked at the nearby Array Gate and said with a faint smile.

“What Daoist brother says is absolutely true!” Randeng, who had listened to teachings in Zixiao Palace, knew well how formidable Li Qingming was and quickly agreed.

“Excellent!” Everyone stepped out of the Heart Refining Array with immense joy.

“Our Fellow Daoists have finally come out!” White Crane had been anxiously waiting outside the formation for over a thousand years, not daring to leave for even a moment.

Now, finally seeing a few people breaking through the formation, he was so excited that he almost cried.

Without waiting for everyone to react.

He eagerly led them along the rugged mountain path to the mountain peak.

Along the way, it could be seen that the rich Spiritual Energy filled the entire East Kunlun Mountain, numerous small creatures were running about, frolicking and playing!

There were also immortal ginsengs and Yao Grass exuding enchanting medicinal fragrances.

Numerous adorable ginseng babies, moving their plump little bodies, played and frolicked among the immortal ginsengs and Spirit Grass, filling the entire East Kunlun Mountain with a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Among the group, excluding Li Qingming, Nanji Immortal, Randeng, and Huang Long, who else had ever seen such a scene?

They were thoroughly enchanted by this boundless beauty.

Upon arriving at the Three Pure Ones Hall atop the mountain, a heavy and ancient aura struck them full in the face.

White Crane stepped forward a few steps and knelt down, saying, “Master of the Sect, White Crane leads the Fellow Daoists who have broken out of the formation to report to the Master of the Sect!”

In fact, during these thousand years, Primordial Venerable had been paying attention to the situation within the great formation.

However, what he hadn’t expected was that out of the billions of Primordial creatures, only a mere sixteen individuals had passed the Heart Refining Array test.

Among these, one was even his major disciple who had been under his guidance for many years.

This made Primordial shake his head in sigh, reflecting on the unpredictability of the Heavenly Dao!

Primordial stood up, left the Three Pure Ones Hall, and just calmly observed everyone.

Other than Li Qingming, who was bowing in respect, White Crane and the others all bowed their heads to the ground and shouted loudly, “We have seen the Yuqing Saint (Master of the Sect)!

May the Saint live forever without bounds!”

Primorial gently waved his hand, and everyone felt an invisible force lifting them involuntarily to their feet.

However, the next words of Primordial Venerable surprised everyone except for the South Pole Immortal and Randeng.

“Qingmingzi, you still know to come back?

What have you been doing all these thousand years!” Primordial did not pay attention to the others but looked at Li Qingming.

Li Qingming touched his smooth chin in distress and said, “Master’s insight!

Previously, I was held in the Blood Sea by the Netherworld Divine Venerable, discussing deeply until the Master spread the word in Primordial that he wanted to recruit more disciples!

Here I am, hurrying back without stopping!”

Primordial chuckled and said, “You lazy fellow, you must have been slacking off somewhere again!”

Shaking his head helplessly, Primordial looked doubtfully at Randeng, another guest of the Zixiao Palace and disciple of Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun, and said, “Randeng Fellow Daoist, you and I, as guests among the three thousand in the Zixiao Palace under the Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun, now you wish to take me as your Master, have you thought it through?”

When the person heard this, he prostrated on the ground and loudly said, “Please enlighten me, Holy One!

Although I attended the three sermon sessions of Taoist Hong Jun, my dull nature still left much uncomprehended.

Now I wish to be under Master’s guidance, please accept me!”

Primordial Venerable, feeling helpless, had to say, “If so, you can be my registered disciple for now, and if you wish to leave later, I will not stop you!

To honor the acquaintance we have in the Zixiao Palace.”

Randeng, overjoyed, bowed his head and said, “Disciple Randeng, greets Master!”

Primordial slightly nodded, then disregarded him, addressing the others, “Since you all have broken out from the great formation, it means that you are fated with me!

Today, I shall take you all as my disciples!”

The crowd was overjoyed and knelt down saying, “Disciple greets Master!”

Primordial Venerable was in a joyous mood and laughed heartily up to the sky!

However, Primordial Venerable might not have anticipated that those billions of eliminated beings were all taken advantage of by Zhunti and another.

These two had always been coveting the east.

Now, with so many unconscious Primordial creatures in front of them, it would be against the heavenly principles if they didn’t cherish this opportunity!

Thus, Zhunti, who sneakily came to the east, was joyously throwing one unconscious creature after another into his Palm Buddha Country.

Thankfully, the Eastern Land is vast, with over a hundred billion living beings.

What harm could the loss of just these billions of creatures possibly represent?

Moreover, these were the ones discarded by Primordial.

Looking at Laozi, he currently had only one disciple under him, and that was Master Xuan Du.

To pass down his teachings with just one disciple was not easy.

However, the condition for Laozi to accept disciples was extremely strict, and his indifferent personality meant he acted freely and naturally.

While he walked among the Human Clan, his demeanor was quite cold towards everyone, and he was not much interested, always speaking of letting things take their natural course.

But no one truly knew what Laozi meant by letting things take their natural course!

Therefore, in the end, Laozi traveled all over the Human Clan and did not find even one disciple.

Having no choice, he could only return to Kunlun and consider his future plans.
