This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

After parting ways with Yan Zangfeng, Li Daoxuan teleported directly back to Tianshui Marsh.

Yan Zangfeng's incident made Li Daoxuan realize a problem.

That is, as the number of Taoist disciples increases, the education of future generations must also be taken seriously.

Qingfeng is alright, but people like Wang Jingshu and Mingyue are clearly not very attentive to teaching their disciples.

They haven't realized the importance of inheritance, so they don't have that concept.

This is why Qingfeng, whose qualifications are not outstanding, was chosen as the leader of the Taoist sect.

"It seems it's time to get these apprentices to take things seriously."

After what happened in Tianxiang City, the name of the "Daoist Sect" has entered the sights of the top powers in the Xuanhuang Great World. It will inevitably face many challenges in the future, so the teaching of future disciples must not be relaxed.

Upon entering Tianshui Marsh, Li Daoxuan instantly arrived at the outer edge of Qingming Island in the center.

The Qimen formation he left behind when he left was still there. His divine sense swept across the island, covering the entire Tianshui Marsh, but he did not find Zhu Jiu's figure.

"Huh? Where did Xiao Jiu go?"

Li Daoxuan flashed and instantly entered the Dragon Palace deep within the Tianshui Marsh.

Deep within the Dragon Palace, a huge black shadow coiled, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a corpse.

Li Daoxuan reached out and stroked the remains, smiling with satisfaction.

"It seems that Xiao Jiu has also completely transformed and become a true dragon."

Once Zhu Jiu transforms into a true dragon, his strength will experience a tremendous leap.

According to Li Daoxuan's estimation, Zhu Jiu now possesses at least the strength equivalent to the Earth Immortal Vajra Realm, and his physique might even be stronger than that of a Vajra Realm expert.

At least we don't have to worry about his safety.

After all, in the Xuan Domain, as long as he doesn't cause trouble in the strongholds of those top-tier forces, he's unlikely to face any danger.

It wasn't that Qingming Island was deserted; Gu Jiantang, a former disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect whom we had rescued in Qingyun City, was on the island.

Besides him, there was also that big tiger.

"Wow... it can even take human form now..."

Li Daoxuan scanned the area with his divine sense and saw a burly man in a yellow shirt strolling around the island.

Upon closer inspection, the burly man was wearing a tiger's head and had a tiger's tail that looked like a steel whip trailing behind him.

He was extremely burly, at least eight feet tall, and his muscles exuded power.

"It seems he received guidance from Xiao Jiu..."

He casually activated the Qimen formation and landed on the island.

The fluctuations in the formation immediately caught Gu Jiantang's attention.

They rushed over and indeed saw Li Daoxuan.

"Master... Welcome back to the mountain."

Gu Jiantang knelt down to welcome him, overjoyed.

Li Daoxuan reached out to help him up, glanced at him, and nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad. Such good results in such a short time, and your mind is as calm as still water. You can be considered to have entered the first stage."

Gu Jiantang quickly said:

"It's all thanks to the excellent guidance of my master and senior brothers..."

Li Daoxuan smiled, pointed into the distance, and said:

"Let's go home..."

Qingming Island is the largest island in Tianshui Marsh, stretching for about 20 miles from east to west. Originally, it was just a deserted island, but later, because Li Daoxuan cultivated and attained enlightenment here, the spiritual energy of the place surged, triggering the irrigation of heaven and earth's spiritual energy.

Over the years, this island has almost transformed into a blessed land.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is far higher than in other places.

Even the entire Tianshui Marshland was affected, and the aquatic creatures in the lake became increasingly agile. Perhaps in just a few years, another aquatic beast will be born in this great lake.

As Li Daoxuan walked on the island, looking at the exotic flowers, fruits, and medicinal herbs that covered the land, his mood became particularly relaxed.

This island holds extraordinary significance for him and the entire Daoist sect, and he would naturally be happy to see it become better.

Arriving at the center of the island, the pavilion he had created back then still looked the same.

However, there were a few more wooden houses next to the attic, which should have been built by Wang Jingshu and Gu Jiantang.

Looking at all this familiar surroundings, even someone as composed as Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and tranquility.

The tiger playing on the island seemed to sense something and hurriedly ran back.

Upon seeing Li Daoxuan, he was overjoyed, and also felt a sense of awe.

As a result, his emotions fluctuated so much that he could not maintain his human form and manifest his original form.

Li Daoxuan smiled upon seeing this and waved his hand, saying:

"Hey big guy, come here..."

Upon hearing Li Daoxuan's summons, the big tiger finally dared to approach, pawing at the ground with its limbs, appearing extremely excited.

Li Daoxuan stroked the tiger's mane and laughed:

"They can already take human form. It seems they've been cultivating very diligently lately."

The big tiger nodded hurriedly, its head repeatedly nudging against Li Daoxuan's chest.

Li Daoxuan played with him for a while, then asked Gu Jiantang:

"Have you given him a name?"

Gu Jiantang smiled awkwardly and said:

"I usually just call him Big Yellow; he doesn't have a formal name."

Li Daoxuan's lips twitched.

"Big Yellow? You call this majestic tiger Big Yellow?"

Gu Jiantang scratched his head sheepishly and muttered:

"He...is quite willing..."

Li Daoxuan said helplessly:

"He's uneducated, and so are you?"

The tiger, having just gained some spiritual insight, was still unaware of these intricacies. Only after hearing Li Daoxuan instruct Gu Jiantang did it realize that the name "Dahuang" (Big Yellow) was probably not a good one.

So he glared at Gu Jiantang and bared his teeth at him.

Li Daoxuan looked at the huge tiger, which was already taller than him, and laughed:

"Perfect, let's officially include you two in the genealogy today."

After speaking, Li Daoxuan raised his hand and waved it, and the incense, candles, and yellow paper on the table were all ready.

The Taoist genealogy was slowly unfurled.

Li Daoxuan picked up his brush and wrote down Gu Jiantang's information and bestowed upon him the title of "Taiyi Xuanzhen Yuqiong Daojun".

He then used spirit crystals as raw materials and supplemented them with various spirit ores to refine a method seal, which he bestowed upon Gu Jiantang.

Gu Jiantang knelt down in gratitude and respect, showing reverence for Heaven and Earth, the Great Dao, and his lineage.

Then it was the big tiger's turn.

Li Daoxuan did not take the big tiger as a disciple, but instead assigned him to Zhu Jiu's tutelage, making him Zhu Jiu's disciple.

He was bestowed the title of "Western Seven Mansions Spotted Tiger Star Lord", and thereafter used Spotted Tiger as his Taoist name as he traveled the world.

The moment the title was inscribed in the Taoist genealogy, the once clear sky suddenly turned upside down and became dark.

In the western sky, a dazzling array of stars suddenly appeared, forming the Seven Mansions constellation composed of countless stars.

Seven beams of starlight descended from the sky and shone upon Ban Yin.

Suddenly, a chilling atmosphere arose.

The tiger's aura visibly increased.

A terrifying white tiger image even appeared behind him, and the tiger stripe with the character "王" (king) on ​​its forehead turned white.

When the starlight faded and all the strange phenomena disappeared, the giant tiger vanished as well, replaced by a robust young man dressed in a yellow robe with white patterns.

With thick eyebrows and large eyes, his gaze held a chilling aura, making him an imposing and extraordinary figure.

The boy, his expression filled with excitement, prostrated himself and said:

"Ban Yin kowtows in gratitude to the Ancestral Master for his guidance..."
