Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 15 015 The Beginning of the Family Division

"Third brother, taking on disciples is no child's play. Isn't this formation a bit too casual?" Yuanshi frowned slightly as he glanced at the formation set up by Tongtian.

Tongtian disagreed, saying, "My path is different from my second brother's, and our philosophies on accepting disciples are also different."

Yuanshi said unhappily, "But we can't be so casual about it! Look at what those things are rushing ahead of us. They're all creatures born from moisture and eggs, covered in fur and with horns."

Here comes the classic quote.

Wei Guang glanced at Yuan Shi. From this moment on, the dispute between the two brothers was about to begin, foreshadowing the upcoming division of the family property.

Hearing Yuanshi say this, Tongtian was also somewhat displeased.

How could I not have any dignity if they criticized me in front of my disciples?

He immediately argued logically, saying, "My path lies in cutting off a glimmer of hope for all living beings in the world. All living beings should naturally not be prejudiced against any particular sect."

Yuanshi Tianzun angrily said, "We, the Three Pure Ones, are the true descendants of Pangu. How dare you act in such a way? What regard do you have for the reputation of us, the Three Pure Ones?"

"Looking across the vast wilderness, how many of the myriad beings are not the creatures my second brother spoke of, born from moisture and eggs, covered in fur and with horns?" A hint of anger also arose in Tongtian's eyes.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle."

Upon hearing the argument between the two men, Laozi slowly approached, and Wei Guang and the others hurriedly bowed.

As if seeing a savior, Yuanshi immediately looked at Laozi and said, "Elder brother, you've come at the right time. Take a look at my formation."

"That was indeed a bit too casual."

Although Laozi was not good at array formations, at his level, even if he was not good at them, he was still far superior to ordinary people. Besides, the array formation set up by Tongtian was not complicated.

There is only one hurdle: the heart that yearns for the Way.

The desire to pursue the Tao here has nothing to do with one's background, talent, or character; it is simply a pure desire to pursue the Tao.

Even the most wicked and sycophantic people can be people with a firm belief in the Way; it's just that their potential is limited and they are unlikely to achieve much.

Because all they pursue is pure power, and the purpose of pursuing power is precisely to satisfy their own desires.

"Elder brother, this is my path." Seeing Laozi also speaking up for Yuanshi, Tongtian's expression turned somewhat ugly, but due to the other party's status, he did not say anything more.

As for Wei Guang and his group, they had no right to speak here and could only watch obediently.

Upon hearing this, Laozi shook his head helplessly. Seeing that someone was about to break the formation, he said, "Alright, let's talk about this later."

"snort."

Yuanshi couldn't help but snort coldly, and Tongtian didn't say anything more, but his expression was not very good.

Almost immediately, a chubby young Taoist with the cultivation level of a mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal emerged from the formation set up by Tongtian.

Upon seeing the crowd, he seemed very excited and bowed, saying, "Greetings to the Sage of Taiqing, the Sage of Yuqing, and the Sage of Shangqing."

Laozi nodded slightly, but Yuanshi looked disgusted. Tongtian waved his hand and lifted him up, saying, "From this day forward, you will be my third true disciple. I bestow upon you the Daoist name Duobao."

Duobao was overjoyed and bowed deeply, saying, "Duobao greets Master."

Tongtian bestowed upon him a long sword and then introduced Wei Guang and the others to him. The latter greeted him respectfully, calling him "Senior Brother," without daring to be presumptuous in the slightest.

Since I'm just starting out, I need to perform well.

Although Wei Guang had refined many acquired spiritual treasures, he had no intention of giving them away. It wasn't that he was stingy, but rather that doing so would put Zhao Gongming in a difficult position.

Not long after, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit, the Holy Mother of Wudang, and the Holy Mother of Tortoise Spirit also broke out of the formation one after another and were all taken in as true disciples.

All three were at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, with the Golden Spirit Mother designated as the eldest senior sister, the head of the female immortals of the Jie Sect. Of course, the title of eldest senior sister here is only relative.

Looking at Yuanshi's side, there are none at the moment.

This is not to say that Yuanshi's disciples are less talented than Duobao and the others, but rather that the formation set up by Yuanshi is more rigorous and takes into account all aspects, so it is naturally slower.

However, someone soon broke through the formation and was taken in by Yuanshi, who then bestowed upon him the Daoist title of Guangchengzi.

As Guang Chengzi broke through the formation, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, with one emerging from Tongtian's side and another from Yuanshi's side, making it seem as if they were having a martial arts contest.

On Tongtian's side, those who went into battle after the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit were not true disciples, but rather attendant disciples.

Just then, Wei Guang suddenly noticed that Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian all frowned, as if they had encountered some trouble.

Wei Guang wondered, could it be that Ran Deng has entered the formation?

Randeng, also one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, although not accepted as a disciple by Hongjun, still calls Hongjun "teacher" because of the cause and effect of hearing the Dao.

In other words, he was of the same generation as Lao Tzu and others.

But this guy, in order to curry favor with Yuanshi, insisted on becoming his disciple. Whether it was a strategic retreat or a genuine desire to become Yuanshi's disciple, it was clearly a troublesome matter for Yuanshi.

If I accept him as my disciple, wouldn't I be on the same level as Hongjun?

This is called transgression.

Therefore, in the end, they had no choice but to give him the position of vice leader of the Chan Sect.

Thinking of this, Wei Guang immediately had an idea.

Subsequently, more and more people stepped forward. It is worth noting that Yuanshi has taken in more than twelve disciples; there are already thirteen.

The so-called Twelve Golden Immortals are simply twelve people who need to undergo tribulation.

At this moment, another person broke through the formation on Tongtian's side. Tongtian accepted him and, while bestowing upon him a Daoist name, glanced at Wei Guang before giving him the Daoist name Chang'er (Long Ears).

Wei Guang suddenly realized, so it was this guy.

At the same time, he understood why Tongtian had glanced at him.

His origin is the origin of the Three Lights, and his Daoist name is Xuan Guang. If Chang Er continues to be called Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, the name will have a negative connotation.

Although a name doesn't mean much, Tongtian still considered Wei Guang's feelings.

Although his Taoist name had changed, Wei Guang still felt somewhat displeased with Chang Er. After all, no one likes a traitor, and if it weren't for him, the Jie Sect would never have suffered such a sudden defeat.

Judging from his decisiveness, it was probably not a spur-of-the-moment decision; he had likely already secretly sided with the West.

We need to be more careful in the future. Once we spot any signs of trouble, we should immediately use that as an excuse to eliminate him. We can't give him even the slightest chance to become a traitor.

Upon seeing the long ears, Wei Guang unconsciously looked at Yu Yixian again.

It is said that the true form of Yu Yi Xian is the first golden-winged roc in the world, the son of Yuan Feng and the younger brother of Kong Xuan, a rare creature who can separate the Yin and Yang essence and refine it into spiritual treasures.

Long-eared man also cultivated the Yin-Yang Dao, but he went astray and cultivated the Yin-Yang Harmony Dao.

Wei Guangyuan referred to them as the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix of the Jie Sect.

Then Wei Guang looked at Qiu Shou Xian and Ling Ya Xian. The two of them, along with Yu Yi Xian, were very famous. They were kidnapped by the Western Sect during the Investiture of the Gods and later became one of the seventy-two tribulations of the Monkey King.

That's right, the three brothers of Lion Camel Ridge are referring to these three.

At this moment, another person broke out of the formation from Yuanshi's side. Upon seeing him, Yuanshi's face immediately darkened, because the other party was the creature he hated most—a creature born from moisture and eggs, covered in fur and horns.

Huanglong, one of the Three No-True Men of the Chan Sect.

P.S.: Brothers, it's very important to read the new book during the initial reading period, so please try not to let the book sit unread.
