Honghuang: I am Kuiniu, and I instructed Nuwa to create humans at the beginning.

Chapter 44: Setting Rules for Jiejiao

"Disciple Jin Ling (Wudang, Shiji, Wuyunxian, Jinhoopxian, Biluxian, Lingyaxian, Qiushouxian, Jinguangxian, Chang'er Dingguangxian, Luo Xuan...) pays homage to the teacher and wishes the teacher a long and healthy life."

Seeing the disciples kneeling in front of him, Master Tongtian was so happy that he waved his hand and helped everyone up.

Then he said, "Since you were able to pass the Heart Refining Formation set up by the Master, it means that you and the Master are predestined. Today, the Master will accept you as his disciples. You will follow the Master in the morning and evening to listen to the teachings and practice."

Seeing that Tongtian Patriarch did not ask about their background and identity, he accepted all these people as his disciples. Yuanshi Tianzun's face became even uglier, and he spoke to Tongtian Patriarch.

"Third brother, look at what kind of creatures these are. How can they be qualified to be disciples of a saint? If these creatures with fur and horns, born from eggs, are qualified to be disciples of a saint, then what is the difference between the saint's disciples and ordinary monsters?"

As soon as Yuanshi Tianzun said this, anger instantly rose in everyone's heart, but because of Yuanshi Tianzun's status as a saint, they dared not get angry. Otherwise, they would have rushed forward and torn him to pieces.

Even so, these people kept Yuanshi Tianzun's words in mind. Even though he was their master's elder brother, these people would not truly respect him.

When Tongtian heard what Yuanshi Tianzun said, he showed displeasure on his face and said, "My brother Niu Kui said that all the creatures on the prehistoric land are descendants of Pangu. Since they are all descendants of Pangu, how can there be any distinction between high and low."

"What's more, the teachings of the Jie Sect, which I founded, are to teach everyone without distinction, to preach to all living beings in the wilderness, and to give them a glimmer of hope. How could I possibly reject people from my community? Wouldn't that be deceiving the world and stealing the name? How could I be qualified to be a saint based on the Jie Sect?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu's words were absolutely sonorous and powerful. Yuanshi Tianzun was speechless for a long time. In the end, he could only flick his sleeves at Tongtian Jiaozhu and disappeared on the spot.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun's angry departure, Tongtian Jiaozhu didn't take it to heart at all, but once again looked at his new disciples. At the same time, a hint of intriguing smile appeared on his face.

Finally, he directly used his saintly cultivation to pass on the law to the countless creatures in the prehistoric land, "I am the leader of Shangqing Tongtian. Now Jiejiao is recruiting disciples. Anyone who has the heart to practice Taoism can join my sect."

While speaking, Tongtian Patriarch did not forget to directly wave his hand and put away the Heart Refining Formation he had set up on Kunlun Mountain. From his expression, it seemed that he was really ready to accept all the comers and let the Jiejiao immortals come to pay homage.

This inevitably made Niu Kui secretly say in his heart, "No, I have to find a way to stop Brother Tongtian, otherwise he will really go down the same old path."

He immediately said to Master Tongtian: "Brother Tongtian, although the teachings of my Jiejiao are to teach everyone without distinction and to seize a ray of hope for all living beings in the prehistoric world, I feel that there should be some distinctions when accepting disciples."

Hearing Niu Kui speak, Tong Tian Jiaozhu could not help but nodded, and then said: "I wonder what Niu Kui thinks, how should I accept you as my disciple?"

Niu Kuina said without hesitation: "Brother Tongtian can establish the inner and outer gates in Jiejiao. All disciples who want to join Jiejiao must first enter the outer gate to be tested. Only those who pass the outer gate test are qualified to enter the inner gate. And in the inner gate, those who perform well can be taught by Brother Tongtian." "On the contrary, if there are outer disciples who do not cultivate virtue, they will be expelled from Jiejiao immediately. Even if the inner disciples make mistakes, they may be demoted to the outer gate. The disciples who are taught by the master may also be demoted to the inner gate. No matter whether they are disciples or inner disciples, those who make serious mistakes can be directly expelled from the master's sect, or even have their souls destroyed."

Hearing what Niu Kui said, Tong Tian Jiaozhu could not help but nod his head. After all, Niu Kui's method did not stop him from recruiting many disciples and letting the Jiejiao immortals come to pay homage. It was just that he added some restrictions on his own basis.

So he nodded immediately, and then looked at Duobao Taoist and Yuyixian, "Duobao, you are my direct disciple, from now on, you will be responsible for the management of the inner disciples. Yuyixian, you are my nominal disciple, from now on, you will be in charge of the outer sect of Jiejiao."

After hearing this, the two of them bowed to Tongtian Sect Master without hesitation and took on this difficult task, but at this moment Niu Kui spoke.

"Brother Tongtian, Duobao is your direct disciple, how can he manage the inner sect? He should be in charge of Brother Tongtian's direct disciples. He should even be responsible for handling Jiejiao affairs and preaching to Jiejiao disciples on behalf of Brother Tongtian."

"That one... No, it should be Yuyixian. He is the registered disciple of Brother Tongtian, and the registered disciples are the inner disciples of our Jiejiao, so naturally he, the registered disciple, should be in charge."

Tongtian Sect Master did not object after hearing this, and even nodded directly. However, he said with a puzzled look on his face: "Duobao is responsible for teaching disciples and taking charge of Jiejiao on my behalf. Yuyixian is responsible for the inner disciples, so who should be responsible for the outer disciples?"

Niu Kui pointed at himself and said, "Brother Tongtian, how could you forget that I am the deputy leader of Jiejiao. I will be in charge of the outer disciples. Brother Tongtian should be able to rest assured, right?"

Tongtian Patriarch naturally had no worries about letting Niu Kui manage the outer disciples. However, Tongtian Patriarch felt that letting Niu Kui manage the outer disciples was more or less a waste of talent.

Even Tongtian Patriarch felt that it would be most appropriate to let Niu Kui take charge of Jiejiao, so he was ready to reject Niu Kui's proposal at that time.

But before Tongtian Patriarch could speak, Niu Kui spoke first, "Brother Tongtian, I made this decision for my own reasons. So Brother Tongtian, don't refuse, unless you think that I, Niu Kui, can't manage the outer sect of Jiejiao."

After Niu Kui said this, Tong Tian Jiaozhu wanted to refuse but couldn't. In the end, he could only nod and said, "In this case, Brother Niu Kui, you will be in charge of Jiejiao's outer sect. But Brother Niu Kui, you can't just be in charge of Jiejiao's outer sect. You should also supervise the entire Jiejiao affairs on my behalf."

Niu Kui naturally did not refuse Tongtian's request, "Of course, after all, I am the deputy leader of Jiejiao. Apart from Brother Tongtian, I am the most powerful one in Jiejiao."

Niu Kui's words inevitably made Nuwa glare at him fiercely, "Why didn't I notice that this cow loves to show off so much? Now that he has become the deputy leader of Jiejiao, can I still bring him to the Nuwa Palace?"
