Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 16 016 Harvesting the Qiankun Ruler

Yuanshi was just reprimanding Tongtian for this, but now another one has appeared on his side, and he can even sense that the other party is truly his master and disciple.

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face?

Seeing Yuanshi's gloomy face, Wei Guang finally understood why Huanglong disliked him. It was probably not just because of his birth, but also because Huanglong had made Yuanshi lose face in front of Tongtian.

Moreover, if Yuanshi discusses this matter again in the future, Tongtian might use him to retaliate against Yuanshi.

In that case, it would be a miracle if he were liked.

The words of a sage are always followed through on.

Although Yuanshi was reluctant, Huanglong had indeed passed his test. The moment Huanglong stepped into the battle, the bond between master and disciple was formed, so Yuanshi had no choice but to accept him.

He accepted the gift, but unlike other disciples, he did not bestow upon them any protective treasures.

Huanglong didn't care about this at all; on the contrary, he was smiling like a fool because he had successfully become a disciple of the sage.

"Oh……"

Although Tongtian didn't say much, his cold laugh at this moment was more damaging than a thousand words, which angered Yuanshi so much that he immediately withdrew the formation.

The apprenticeship program was declared over, and from then on, there were fourteen direct disciples of the Yuanshi School.

As soon as the Primordial Formation was dispelled, Randeng, who was about to break free, was dumbfounded. "I was almost out, and you suddenly announce the end of the disciple recruitment? What do you mean by that?"

Unwilling to accept defeat, Randeng immediately rushed to Yuanshi Tianzun's side and said, "Randeng pays homage to the Sage Yuqing. Please have mercy on me and accept me as your disciple."

Yuanshi, who was already furious, became even more enraged when he saw Randeng actually pull this stunt. But before he could speak, Wei Guang stepped forward first.

"Uncle-Master Ran Deng, what are you doing?"

Wei Guang emphasized the words "uncle-master" in his speech, making Randeng's teeth itch with rage, but before he could speak, Wei Guang continued:

"You and Master Yuanshi are of the same generation, while I am the chief of the second generation of the Three Teachings. If Master Yuanshi were to accept you as a disciple, wouldn't you be a generation below me?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi almost burst out laughing.

Lao Tzu remained silent, simply observing.

Tongtian was not angry that Wei Guang stood up for Yuanshi. After all, no matter how much they argued, it was a matter between brothers, and they still needed to unite against external forces.

The lamp-lighter was a bit of a muggle; his expression was as if he had eaten shit and was in great pain.

Do you think I don't know that becoming Yuanshi's disciple would lower my seniority? But the key question is, would Yuanshi really dare to accept me as his disciple? Didn't you see that I was trying to advance by retreating?

What is this bastard doing causing trouble?

"Uncle-Master Randeng, I think the West is short of people. If you went to the West, you might be able to get a vice leader or even Buddha or something. Why lower yourself to become an apprentice of Uncle-Master Yuanshi?"

When the Chan Sect attacked the Jie Sect during the Investiture of the Gods, this guy was the most ruthless. How could Wei Guang let him succeed?

Besides, he was going to the West anyway, and Wei Guang had saved him from taking more than a dozen detours. He should be thanking himself.

As for offending him because of this, it doesn't matter.

Tongtian is Wei Guang's greatest source of confidence, and since this matter originated from Yuanshi, if the other party wants to retaliate, Yuanshi will not sit idly by.

Randeng looked up at Weiguang; the gaze of this primordial being was truly enough to devour a person.

In that instant, Wei Guang felt as if he were facing not a pair of cold eyes, but a sharp light formed from the laws of nature. He felt his primordial spirit tremble, his mind become dazed, and he unconsciously took several steps back.

"How dare you!"

Enraged, Tongtian protected Wei Guang while simultaneously striking out with a palm, sending Randeng flying backward and making close contact with a mountain peak several miles away.

"Bang!"

The hilltop shattered instantly, and countless rubble buried the lamp.

The next second, Yuanshi also made a move. He reached out and grabbed Randeng, who was originally buried by rubble, and brought him close.

At this moment, Ran Deng was in a very sorry state.

Not only was he covered in dust, but blood was also gushing from his mouth, and his face was frighteningly pale, which showed how severe Tong Tianxia's blow was.

Yuanshi looked at Randeng and said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Randeng, my nephew was kindly looking out for you, yet you dared to attack him. Do you really think the Three Pure Ones are so easily bullied?"

With a single sentence, Yuanshi not only questioned Randeng but also acknowledged Weiguang's status as the second-generation leader of the three religions.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It was a moment of haste and an unintentional mistake. I beg Your Majesty Yuqing and Your Majesty Shangqing to forgive me." Randeng was also awakened by Tongtian's palm strike and quickly apologized.

Tongtian sneered, "An unintentional mistake? I think you're courting death."

How could the injury to Tongtian's disciple be dismissed with a mere "unintentional mistake"? Even if Tongtian could see that it was indeed a subconscious act, it was absolutely impossible.

"May the Supreme Sage forgive me. I am willing to make amends to compensate for the damage done to my nephew."

After this commotion, it's impossible for him to join the Chan Sect again. Now, Randeng just wants to end this matter as soon as possible and escape this place of trouble.

Yuanshi glanced sideways at Wei Guang: "What do you think, nephew?"

Now, the more he looked at Wei Guang, the more pleasing he found him. In comparison, those creatures born from wet eggs, covered in fur and with horns, suddenly became even more repulsive to him.

I don't know what Tongtian is doing. His disciple selection level was clearly good before, so why did it drop after he attained enlightenment?

"It's all up to Master and Senior Uncle to decide."

Wei Guang also knew that it would be difficult to kill Randeng with just this, so it was better to stop while he was ahead.

Yuanshi nodded slightly, then glanced at Randeng and said in a detached but unquestionable tone, "In that case, use your Qiankun Ruler as compensation."

Ran Deng stared in disbelief.

I only glanced at him, and you want my Qiankun Ruler?

"What, you have a problem with that?" Although Tongtian's expression was calm, the Qingping Sword that had inadvertently landed in his hand startled Randeng, who hurriedly pulled out the Qiankun Ruler.

Tongtian casually waved his hand and sent the Qiankun Ruler to Wei Guang, who happily accepted it.

He could get a top-grade innate spiritual treasure just by being glared at. What more could he want? Didn't he see the disciples around him drooling with envy?

"If you are not satisfied and want revenge, go ahead, but that will be the time of your death," Tongtian warned again.

Wei Guang's cultivation is still shallow, and he will inevitably have to travel through the prehistoric world in the future. If this guy retaliates in secret, Wei Guang may not be able to withstand it, but it's not a big problem.

At that time, it will be enough to leave a trace of his aura on Wei Guang. If Wei Guang is in danger, he will be able to detect it immediately.

"Randeng wouldn't dare." Although Randeng wished he could tear Wei Guang to pieces, he dared not show it in the slightest. Otherwise, he might not have been able to leave Kunlun Mountain today.

Then, Tongtian casually waved his hand, sending the lamp out of Kunlun.

This farce has come to an end.

Yuanshi had finished accepting disciples and was about to leave when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scene on Tongtian's side. He immediately felt his three corpses leap into his throat. "Third brother, that's enough. How many more do you want to take?"

It turns out that the number of disciples who have passed the test on Tongtian's side has unknowingly reached three thousand.
