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

Chapter 159: Tongtian is so wronged
Chen Xuan didn't intend to get too involved in who Kong Xuan would eventually choose as his master. Anyway, as long as he was a disciple of Qinglian, that was enough.

Chen Xuan had some thoughts on why he did not directly accept Kong Xuan as his disciple, but instead asked him to become his disciple's disciple.

That is, Kong Xuan's worship under Nuwa or Sanqing is equivalent to strengthening the strength of Taoism or Humanism.

On the contrary, if he accepted him as a disciple himself, he would have to plan a future for Kong Xuan and absolutely not let him become a vassal of the Daoist sect or the Humanist sect.

The most important thing is that when the Conferred God Tribulation begins in the future, Hongjun will definitely take action to plot against the human race and may even restrict the saints from taking action.

At that time, Kong Xuan, as a second-generation disciple of Taoism or the Human Religion, participated in the Conferred God Tribulation, which provided him with many convenient conditions.

Besides, even if Kong Xuan could achieve enlightenment and become a saint in the future, he was still a postnatal being, and was somewhat unqualified to be Chen Xuan's disciple.

After all, even the Queen Mother of the West was only a registered disciple of Chen Xuan. She only addressed Chen Xuan as Teacher, not Master.

The green vine that transformed from the Xiantian gourd vine couldn't even obtain the status of a registered disciple. How could Kong Xuan be able to become Chen Xuan's personal disciple?

Otherwise, Queen Mother of the West and Qing Teng would have to come directly to Chen Xuan.

At this time, Kong Xuan was also a little embarrassed. After all, both Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa were qualified to be his master.

But if he were to choose, he would inevitably offend one of the parties. So in the end, he could only speak.

"It is a great blessing for my disciple Kong Xuan to have the Saint as his teacher. Therefore, I dare not choose between the two saints."

Seeing that Kong Xuan did not make a clear choice, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but speak with a smile.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, Senior Brother, I heard that the human race is short of some magical treasures. How about you help Junior Sister Nuwa refine some when you have nothing to do?"

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's understanding, Nuwa smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Senior Brother. But I don't need many here, three to five hundred pieces will be enough."

Hearing Nuwa's understatement, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but feel a pang of pain. In the end, he had to nod and say.

"After a hundred years, Junior Sister Nuwa can come to Yuqing Peak to retrieve the treasure. As for Kong Xuan, I will take him away first."

After that, he directly pulled Kong Xuan back to his own Yuqing Peak, fearing that if they walked too slowly, Nuwa would make other requests.

Looking at Yuanshi Tianzun's departing back, Nuwa couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on her face, and then she turned her gaze to Laozi and Tongtian.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, if I remember correctly, Kong Xuan's acknowledgment of Second Brother as his master is equivalent to acknowledging the two of you as his masters."

"You said you got such an outstanding apprentice for nothing, shouldn't you also compensate your junior sister?"

After hearing this, Laozi couldn't help but sigh, then waved his hand at Nuwa and passed a set of skills directly to her.

"These are some of my insights into alchemy that I've gathered while I was free. You can pass them on to the human race so they can master the art of alchemy."

Nuwa was naturally not polite and immediately thanked Laozi. Then she looked at Tongtian with expectation.

Tongtian felt so aggrieved at this moment that he didn't even understand what was going on.

After all, when Nuwa brought back the two phoenix eggs, Tongtian had already returned to Shangqing Peak for seclusion. So he definitely only had a vague understanding of the whole thing.

However, since it was Nuwa who asked for a benefit, Tongtian did not care. He immediately taught Nuwa a set of skills, called the Sword Way.

"This is the sword art that I, senior brother, created using the laws of the Great Sword. When practiced to the extreme, one can enter the Dao with the sword." Nuwa was extremely happy at this moment. For Nuwa, it was absolutely worth it to exchange Kong Xuan for the gift of the Three Pure Ones.

The most important thing is that even if Kong Xuan worships Sanqing as his master, he is still his nephew. If he needs to ask him for help, how could he stand idly by?

So, with a smile on his face, he said goodbye to Laozi and Tongtian and went straight back to Huoyun Cave, preparing to pass on the art of alchemy and swordsmanship to the human race as soon as possible.

Watching Nuwa leave, Tongtian finally spoke to Laozi, "Brother, what's going on?"

"I just came to watch the fun, how can I be considered to have taken advantage of you? What benefits did you and your second brother gain during my retreat?"

Laozi waved his hand in front of him, and the Tai Chi diagram unfolded before him. A phoenix egg also flew out of the Tai Chi diagram.

"You just returned to Shangqing Peak for retreat, and Junior Sister Nuwa brought two phoenix eggs..."

Then Laozi told Tongtian the whole story, letting Tongtian know what had happened.

This inevitably made Tongtian's face reveal a look of grievance. He immediately spoke to Laozi.

"Brother, you're not being kind. It seems like you've gotten a huge benefit, and I, your third brother, have owed you a favor for nothing."

Laozi smiled and said, "Aren't the disciples your second brother and I accepted your disciples? Why should we be so petty between brothers?"

After saying this, Laozi once again placed the phoenix egg in the Tai Chi diagram to nurture it. Then he went straight back to his Taiqing Peak.

Only Tongtian was left standing there in a daze. Although he thought what Laozi said made sense, he still felt that he had suffered a loss.

Although the Three Pure Ones all taught their disciples together, and even addressed each other as master and disciple, there were still certain differences between them.

After all, whoever accepts a disciple naturally has a closer relationship with him. So Tong Tiancai felt that he was at a disadvantage.

At the same time, Chen Xuan, who was paying attention to this matter, couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "No wonder Tongtian was calculated so badly in the original prehistoric trajectory."

"This guy is really childish. He returns the favor without asking the situation. Now you feel wronged, what were you doing before?"

……

In the Nine Netherworld, beside the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Hou Tu finally stabilized the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Even without her guarding it, the Six Paths of Reincarnation could still operate on its own.

As for the other departments of the Nine Netherworld, they are now on the right track and are able to fully exert the functions of the Nine Netherworld.

This inevitably brought a smile to Hou Tu's face. "It's been nearly ten thousand years now, and finally everything is done."

While Hou Tu was muttering to herself, she did not forget to look towards the direction of Qinglian Island in the East China Sea. Then, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again.

"It's been ten thousand years. I wonder if Master misses me. It's time to go back and see Master."

After finishing speaking, Hou Tu waved her hand in front of her, breaking the void.

Then he took a step into the space crack and disappeared into the Nine Netherworld.
