Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 146 The Taoist Tradition Must Be Inherited
Tongtian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as he watched Houtu leave. He then spoke to Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun in a low voice.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, we must not offend Junior Sister Hou Tu in the future. Otherwise..."

Tongtian hadn't finished speaking when Yuanshi Tianzun hit him with the Sanbao Ruyi again and glared at him fiercely.

At the same time, Laozi shook his head helplessly, and then went back to Qinglian Island with Yuanshi Tianzun.

Tongtian, with a look of grievance on his face, could only mutter to himself: "Isn't this also for the sake of our brothers?"

Everything that happened in the Nine Netherworld was naturally seen by Chen Xuan, which made him even more satisfied with Hou Tu.

After all, among the six disciples he accepted, Laozi was too deep, Yuanshi Tianzun was too persistent, Tongtian was too immature, Nuwa was serious, and Fuxi was obsessed with cultivation.

Only Hou Tu was eccentric and very interested in new things. She was definitely the disciple that best suited Chen Xuan's taste.

"It seems that I have to train this girl well in the future. After all, I am afraid that no one else can inherit my mantle except this girl."

Soon, the Three Pure Ones returned to Qinglian Island one after another. They wanted to return to their own dojo to comprehend the great Dao, but were called over by Chen Xuan.

The three of them walked into the Qinglian Palace, first performed the master-disciple ceremony to Chen Xuan, and then sat down on their own cushions in an orderly manner.

Chen Xuan also spoke directly: "You have established your Taoist sect for some years. I wonder how your Taoist tradition has developed? How many disciples do you have?"

As soon as Chen Xuan said this, whether it was Laozi or Yuanshi Tianzun, even Tongtian, who was always a bit immature, couldn't help but lower their heads.

Because over the years, they have been working hard to comprehend more of the laws of the great Dao, hoping to improve their cultivation as quickly as possible.

However, they ignored the fact that since they established the Dao sect, they had the obligation to educate the world. Therefore, until now, they have not accepted a single disciple.

Chen Xuan had actually known about this for a long time. The purpose of calling the Three Pure Ones here today was to have them open their doors to the world and recruit disciples from the prehistoric world.

So when he saw that the Three Pure Ones didn't speak, Chen Xuan spoke directly: "You swore an oath to the Great Dao and founded the Dao Sect, so you have the obligation to educate the creatures of the prehistoric world."

"If you forget your responsibilities, you will surely be harmed by the Dao in the future. No matter how high your cultivation level is, it will be wiped out in an instant."

"As for the next ten thousand years, there's no need for you to stay on the island any longer. You can go travel around the wilderness and recruit more disciples."

"However, my Qinglian Island does have standards for accepting disciples. Both background and moral character are absolutely indispensable."

"Laozi, you specialize in the principles of the Great Dao's Yin and Yang, and are also quite proficient in the principles of the Great Dao's alchemy. Therefore, the focus of your disciples should be on those who are proficient in alchemy."

"Yuanshi mainly studies the law of cause and effect of the Great Dao, and is also very knowledgeable about the law of the Great Dao instruments. Therefore, the focus of your disciples should naturally be on those who are good at refining instruments."

"As for you, Tongtian, you majored in the Dao Destruction Law, and are more proficient in the Dao Formation Law and the Dao Sword Law."

"So the disciple you accept must have a decisive character and a heart that upholds justice. He must not be arrogant enough to look down on the common people."

"You are the children of Brother Pangu, and you are born with the responsibility to protect the entire prehistoric world. And your disciples also have the responsibility to maintain order in the prehistoric world."

"Especially the disciples you accept as your disciples will be a sharp sword in the hands of Qinglian Island. In the future, they will become the law enforcers in this vast world and bring fame to Qinglian Island."

As soon as Chen Xuan said this, Tongtian's eyes lit up. He had already heard something from Chen Xuan's words. That is, Laozi's disciples refine elixirs, and Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples refine weapons. They are all serving their disciples, allowing their disciples to wield swords in the wilderness.

He immediately smiled and said to Chen Xuan: "Master, don't worry. This time when I go down the mountain, I will definitely collect some good seedlings."

"And I will personally and carefully teach them, making sure they become qualified prehistoric law enforcers. And make the name of Qinglian Island famous."

Then he turned around and looked at Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun and said, "Brother, I will also ask my disciples to help you collect the materials for alchemy and refining."

"After all, the elixirs and magic weapons you refine are all for my disciples. I, the third brother, can't just take the benefits of the eldest and second brothers for nothing."

Looking at the complacent Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun directly smashed the Sanbao Ruyi on his head.

"Do your ears have a filter function, only hearing the things you care about? And you can't hear a word about other things you have to do?"

Tongtian rubbed his head with his hands and said unconvincedly: "Second brother, you have to speak clearly this time. How could I have misunderstood the deep meaning of Master's words."

Laozi sighed and shook his head, even saying in his heart, "Tongtian is completely hopeless."

Chen Xuan was also helpless, knowing that if he didn't give Tongtian a lesson, this guy's second-year syndrome would really reach the late stage.

"Who told you that the disciples of your eldest and second brothers are there to serve you? Can't refining pills and weapons bring fame to Qinglian Island?"

"Also, who told you that cultivators who refine pills and refine Qi are necessarily lower in cultivation than your disciples?"

"And no matter which of you accepts a disciple, he or she must accept the instruction of the other two. In other words, Daoist disciples don't have uncles or uncles, only the first, second, and third masters."

"At the same time, I will also have your Junior Sister Nuwa teach the disciples. They will be responsible for supervising the actions of your disciples."

"If your disciples do anything that harms the harmony of nature, don't blame me for making you, the masters, pay the corresponding price."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan waved his hand, and three streams of light flew directly towards the Three Pure Ones.

The next moment, a detailed Taoist disciple-recruiting system, as well as the grading and various requirements for disciples, appeared in Sanqing's mind.

Then Chen Xuan drove the Three Purities out of the Qinglian Palace and asked them to go to the prehistoric world to find suitable disciples.

Looking at the backs of Sanqing leaving, Chen Xuan couldn't help but say to himself in his heart.

“I wonder if they will take in the disciples from the original prehistoric trajectory as their own disciples when they come down the mountain this time.”

Tongtian, who had just walked out of the Qinglian Palace, scratched his head and said, "Outer disciples, inner disciples, registered disciples, and personal disciples."

"Big Brother, what do you think the Master is thinking? He wants to accept disciples, so he just accepts them. But he has to classify them into so many categories. Just thinking about it is enough to make my head hurt."

"Also, different levels of cultivation correspond to different levels of disciples, which is fine. But having to come up with a merit test system is really troublesome."
