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

Chapter 147 This is to intercept
Yuanshi Tianzun had already raised the Three Treasures Ruyi in his hand, but finally sighed and put it away.

"Brother, let's travel the prehistoric world together. If we separate, I'm really worried that my third brother will cause some trouble."

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun was completely speechless to Tongtian. He was even too lazy to hit him anymore.

The old man beside him nodded helplessly, "Second brother, this is very kind. Let's go together to find someone who is destined to be with our Taoist sect."

After saying this, without caring whether Tongtian agreed or not, he directly pulled him and turned into three green lights, heading towards the prehistoric world.

Just as the Three Pure Ones were heading to the prehistoric world, preparing to travel and recruit disciples, the Red Cloud Patriarch of the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island had also decided to open his gate and recruit disciples.

However, he was not going to look for the destined person, but to announce the road to Jin'ao Island to the world with his great magic power.

Let those monks who originally wanted to become disciples of the saint know how to rush to Jin'ao Island and be brought into the Jiejiao sect.

Compared to the Red Cloud Patriarch, Zhen Yuanzi's situation was much simpler. After all, his Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple wasn't as hard to find as the Jin'ao Island Biyou Palace.

Countless monks have already gathered at the foot of Longevity Mountain, but no one dares to take a single step into the mist.

At this moment, they could only stand aside, whispering to each other, wondering when Zhen Yuanzi would open the mountain gate.

At this moment, the fog on Wanshou Mountain instantly parted to the left and right. After the fog parted, a long staircase appeared in front of everyone.

Then two Taoist children came down the stairs, talking as they walked.

"The Master has ordered that anyone who wishes to join the Chan Sect must pass the test of the Heart Refining Path. Those who fail will have no chance of joining the Chan Sect."

As soon as the Taoist finished speaking, a cultivator asked, "Two immortal children, where is the path to refine the mind? How do you know if you have passed it?"

The Taoist boy pointed to the steps in front of them and said, "The steps in front of you are the Path of Refining the Heart. Those who pass through will enter Wuzhuang Temple, and those who pass through will be sent back here."

After saying this, the two Taoist children headed up the stairs. Not long after, they disappeared from everyone's sight.

Although I already knew where the Heart Refining Road was, I knew nothing about it. I wanted to ask, but the two Taoist children had already left.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, but no one was willing to take the lead in the Heart Refining Path. Instead, they all chose to stop and watch.

At the same time, in the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi was also using the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth to check the situation at the foot of Wanshou Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi wasn't the least bit anxious about the fact that no one had yet embarked on the path of cultivating the mind. Instead, he watched calmly.

But the next moment, Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed involuntarily, because he saw a familiar face among these people.

This person's name was Ran Deng Daoist, and he was once one of the three thousand guests of the Purple Sky Palace. It was said that he was a coffin formed from the condensation of innate death energy.

"Why did this Burning Lamp Taoist come to me? Could it be that he wants to lower his status and become my disciple?"

Zhen Yuanzi didn't think that the Burning Lamp Taoist came here just to watch the fun. So there was only one answer, that is, the Burning Lamp Taoist wanted to join the Chan Sect.

Zhen Yuanzi was somewhat repulsed by this, after all, they had both been guests of Zixiao Palace. Logically, they were both considered Hongjun's disciples, so how could he accept his own junior fellow disciple?
At this moment, Ran Deng Taoist had already stepped onto the stairs first. As his feet stepped onto the stairs at the same time, he disappeared in front of everyone.

Originally, everyone had planned to observe how others approached the Heart Refining Path. Now, it seemed that opportunity was gone. They could only experience the Heart Refining Path for themselves. Several people then made up their minds and, following the Taoist Master Ran Deng, embarked on the Heart Refining Path to Wuzhuang Monastery.

At this time, Zhen Yuanzi also shone the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror into the Heart Refining Path, and the person he was observing most closely was the Taoist Master Ran Deng.

This path of tempering the mind tests one's character and perseverance. It also allows Zhen Yuanzi to use this opportunity to check on the opponent's situation.

In other words, even if the opponent's character and perseverance are strong enough, as long as Zhen Yuanzi is not satisfied with his footing, he will not be able to embark on the path of cultivating his mind.

Therefore, the Heart Refining Road set up by Zhen Yuanzi is not just a little bit inferior to the 9,900 stone steps outside the Huoyun Cave, the ancestral home of the human race.

It wasn't that Zhen Yuanzi couldn't arrange a path of self-examination like that. Rather, he was worried that if he really did that, he would be left alone.

After all, from the time when the Human Religion was founded until now, no one has actually been able to walk up those 9,900 stone steps.

Therefore, since the founding of the Human Religion, there have only been a few registered disciples, and no direct disciples.

But Zhen Yuanzi didn't dare to let his Chan sect do the same, otherwise Hongjun would never let him go.

Little did he know that while Zhen Yuanzi was focusing all his attention on the path of cultivating his mind, three more people arrived at the foot of Wanshou Mountain.

These three people were none other than the Three Pure Ones who came to travel in the ancient times and chose people who were destined to be with Taoism.

Why would the Three Pure Ones come to Wanshou Mountain? They are not the Taoist Master Ran Deng, and it is even less likely that they want to become Zhen Yuanzi's disciples.

The reason was that when Zhen Yuanzi established the Chan Sect, Yuanshi Tianzun was moved and even asked Chen Xuan about it.

And Chen Xuan did not make up any lies to fool Yuanshi Tianzun. Instead, he spoke directly to Yuanshi Tianzun.

If he worships Hongjun as his master, then the one who created the Chan Sect would be Yuanshi Tianzun. And even the leader of the Jie Sect would become Tongtian.

He even took the opportunity to briefly explain to the Three Pure Ones the differences between the doctrines of the Jiejiao and the Chanjiao.

Although Chen Xuan did not say it directly, the doctrines of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect were different, and a war was inevitable sooner or later.

However, the Three Pure Ones were already aware that this was Hongjun's conspiracy to sow discord among the Three Pure Ones.

So when he heard that Zhen Yuanzi wanted to accept a disciple, Yuanshi Tianzun suggested that they go to the Five Villages of Wanshou Mountain to take a look.

After all, if they had not met Chen Xuan, the leader of the Chan Sect at this time would be Yuanshi Tianzun. Then among those who came to worship Zhen Yuanzi as their master, there would be his destined disciple.

Laozi and Tongtian also agreed with Yuanshi Tianzun's guess, so they came to Wanshou Mountain together.

Tongtian even suggested that the next stop should be Jinao Island to see if he could meet his destined disciple.

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun also did not refuse. After preparing to leave Wanshou Mountain, they and Tongtian rushed to Jin'ao Island for a walk.
