Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

As Bodhi took form, it triggered a chain reaction, with one cultivator after another emerging from the endless Daoist energy.

Feeling the wonder of the Dao Body, the cultivators looked at Qin Ming with gratitude.

After all, if Qin Ming hadn't preached to them, they would have been unconsciously absorbing spiritual energy and still wouldn't have been able to take human form for a long time.

Most importantly, during Qin Ming's sermon, they also comprehended some cultivation techniques.

Although most of them are basic cultivation techniques, and the highest one can cultivate to is only the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, this is already an enormous opportunity for cultivators like them who have no background and low social standing.

This is why many cultivators initially regarded Qin Ming as their faith.

At this moment, wisps of faith gathered towards Qin Ming.

Sensing the special power of faith, Qin Ming pondered for a while and then embedded it into a piece of divine metal.

There are three thousand great paths, each of which can prove the origin of primordial chaos.

The power of faith can also enable cultivators to attain enlightenment.

However, proving one's faith through faith is extremely unstable.

If a large number of believers are lost, it could very well drag cultivators down from the Hunyuan realm.

For Qin Ming, proving the Dao through force is the right path.

As for this power of faith, it can be used to create an avatar in the future, so that when he has no time to attend to other matters, he can sit and guard the Three Immortal Islands of Chaos.

As the sermon continued, around the time the three thousand years had passed, the five-colored deer and the six-eared macaque appeared in human form.

However, compared to Bodhi, the transformation tribulations of both are much weaker.

One reason is that their original essence has not been fully activated; they only reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm before taking human form.

Secondly, it is because the accumulation of knowledge in both is far less profound than that in Bodhi.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Bodhi is only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm at this moment.

However, the Hundred Transformations Battle Body and the Formless Heart Sutra that Qin Ming passed on to Bodhi are both top-tier martial arts techniques in the world.

These two techniques have made Bodhi's foundation incredibly profound.

In addition, before Bodhi took human form, he was rooted in the Chaotic Soil and was nourished day and night by the Three Lights Divine Water, which invisibly enhanced Bodhi's innate talent.

This also meant that Bodhi not only took form earlier than in the original historical timeline, but its accumulated knowledge was also much stronger than in the original timeline.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Bodhi, apart from lacking the merit of creating the world, is in no way inferior to the Three Pure Ones.

Given time, it is only a matter of time before Bodhi attains enlightenment and reaches the state of Hunyuan.

"Three thousand years of preaching have come to an end today. I hope that you will cultivate yourselves diligently in the future and bring blessings to the world."

With the emergence of the Six-Eared Macaque and the Five-Colored Deer, the three-thousand-year period of preaching has come to an end.

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, the group of cultivators showed reluctance and knelt down to plead, "We beg the Pure World Dao Lord to have mercy and accept us as disciples so that we may hear the Great Dao of the Pure World Dao Lord."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming remained silent, merely glancing around and slowly releasing his aura.

With Qin Ming's current cultivation level, the cultivators present, whose highest level was only Taiyi Golden Immortal, were naturally no match for him. Soon, a large number of cultivators were forced to prostrate on the ground.

Time passed gradually.

Qin Ming's aura grew stronger and stronger, causing all the cultivators to tremble violently.

Even so, four cultivators gritted their teeth and persevered, trying their best to control their bodies and not let themselves be crushed by Qin Ming's aura.

In this state, the four monks felt as if each day was an eternity.

It may be a moment, it may be ten years, or even a hundred years.

At this moment, even these four cultivators were struggling to hold on, their bodies trembling violently and drenched in sweat.

Just when the four cultivators felt they could no longer hold on, the pressure on their bodies suddenly eased.

"You four are quite good."

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, the four cultivators were overjoyed, and even Zu Long showed a delighted expression.

Because two of these four cultivators were his dragon sons.

He had long wanted to deepen his relationship with Qin Ming.

At this moment, Qin Ming is taking his dragon clan's sons as disciples. Wouldn't that naturally bring him closer to his dragon clan?

However, he was overthinking it.

Before everyone could rejoice for long, Qin Ming changed the subject: "However, the laws of fate in this world are all predetermined."

"Five-colored deer, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, the five-colored deer immediately knelt three times and kowtowed nine times: "Disciple greets Master."

"Hmm, do you have a name or Taoist title?"

"This disciple was born and raised by nature, and was born on Penglai Immortal Island from childhood. Therefore, I have no name, surname, or Daoist title."

"Therefore, I will name you Lu Ming. I hope you will always remember your true self and never go astray."

"Above you are two senior brothers. The eldest senior brother is Bodhi, who has just taken human form. As for the second senior brother, he has not yet taken human form. I will introduce him to you after he takes human form."

Looking at the mature young man in front of him, who appeared to be around twenty years old, Qin Ming smiled faintly.

"This disciple thanks the teacher for bestowing upon me this name!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"The Six-Eared Macaque!"

"Little Fairy is here!"

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, the Six-Eared Macaque's eyes lit up. While scratching his ears and cheeks, he hopped and skipped to the foot of the platform and knelt respectfully on both knees.

"You are the God of War, a quarter of the original essence of the Chaos Demon Ape. You are naturally unruly and bear the resentment of the Chaos Demon Ape. I should not have accepted you as my disciple."

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eared Macaque scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously and kowtowed repeatedly: "From now on, this humble immortal will definitely listen to the Daoist Lord's words and not cause trouble. Please, Daoist Lord, have pity on this humble immortal's heart devoted to the Dao and accept this humble immortal as your disciple. Even if you are just a junior disciple, this humble immortal will be willing."

Looking at the Six-Eared Macaque kowtowing incessantly, Qin Ming shook his head helplessly: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Your talent and abilities are both top-notch. Although you have some flaws, you are destined to be with me and have passed my rigorous tests. Therefore, I should accept you as my disciple."

"From this day forward, you shall be my fourth personally instructed disciple."

"Remember, my disciples never cause trouble, but they are not afraid of trouble either. There is only one rule: you fellow disciples must not kill each other. Otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will still cleanse the sect."

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eared Macaque excitedly replied, "This disciple will obey Master's command."

Get up.

After Qin Ming helped the Six-Eared Macaque up, he closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

This scene made the Five-Clawed Earth Dragon, the Golden Dragon, and the Ancestral Dragon extremely anxious.

"Fellow Daoist, both of my clan's young men passed your test. Why are you showing favoritism?"

Zu Long looked at Qin Ming with slight dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming sighed, "It's not that I'm biased!"

"They are blessed with good fortune and destiny."

"However, the three races are mutually protective and warring. If I were to take them as disciples and teach them wondrous techniques and supernatural powers, it would surely boost the prestige of the Dragon Clan, and they would also be tainted by the aura of calamity."

"This will hinder their future spiritual practice."

"If you wish for me to take them as disciples, so be it!"

"However, they must remain in seclusion on the Three Immortal Islands of Chaos for twelve Yuanhui (a unit of time), and are not allowed to leave the island during these twelve Yuanhui; otherwise, it will be considered betrayal of their sect!"

"Furthermore, although I have a connection with them as disciples, this connection is still shallow, and I can only accept them as nominal disciples."

"Fellow Daoist Zulong, the decision is entirely up to you to discuss."

"This sermon is now over. You may all return to your homes."

After saying that, Qin Ming waved his sleeve, shaking all the cultivators except for the Earth Dragon, the Golden Dragon, Lu Ming, and the Six-Eared Macaque away from the Dao Platform.

At the same time, the road to heaven reappeared.

However, compared to the past, the power of this Heavenly Path is far more profound.

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Zu Long's expression shifted repeatedly.
