When Yuanshi Tianzun saw that Randeng Daoren had actually come to ask him to be his disciple, he was secretly delighted, but then he was also in a dilemma. After all, they were both guests in Zixiao and both called Hongjun Daozu their teacher. It was indeed a bit inappropriate for him to accept Randeng as his disciple. However, Randeng had already passed the test of his heart set up for accepting disciples, so he could not forcibly expel him.

After a moment's thought, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke to Randeng Daoren, saying, "Randeng, we were both guests in Zixiao in the past, and we called Hongjun Daozu our teacher. It is really inappropriate for you to come and ask me to be your teacher again today. You are now at the peak of the Daluo Jinxian realm and have your own inheritance. Why do you need to learn my Yuqing Immortal Method? It is really beneath your dignity."

Upon seeing this, Randeng immediately bowed and said, "Sage above, Randeng is merely a minor Great Luo Golden Immortal. How dare I address you as a fellow Daoist? Randeng is single-mindedly seeking the Dao, but the Great Dao is difficult to attain. Therefore, I have come here specifically to be your disciple, hoping to advance further and glimpse the Dao fruit of Quasi-Sage. I beg you, Jade Purity Sage, to consider my dedication to seeking the Dao and accept me as your disciple!"

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was indeed in a dilemma, but he was also a little proud that even Zixiao Zhongke had to take him as his master. So he said, "Since that's the case, then I will accept you as a disciple in name only. You will have the title of half a master to me. You can be the vice leader of my Chan Sect. All disciples of my Chan Sect must call you teacher."

Upon hearing this, Randeng smiled and happily stepped aside. The other twelve people were the later famous Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect: Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Yuding Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, Huanglong Zhenren, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Puxian Zhenren, Cihang Daoren, Lingbao Dafashi, Julusun, Daoxing Tianzun, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun.

Of these twelve, only Chi Jingzi and Yu Ding Zhenren were transformed from innate jade ore, and there was also Huanglong of the Dragon Clan. The other nine were all human. Moreover, in addition to taking these thirteen as disciples, Yuanshi Tianzun also took another nominal disciple, who would later become the famous Antarctic Immortal.

Compared to the numerous difficulties Yuanshi Tianzun faced in accepting disciples, Tongtian Daoren's method was much simpler. He only tested the character of those who wanted to become his disciples. As long as they passed the test, they would be accepted as disciples. Those who did not pass the test were not expelled, but were accepted as nominal disciples who could listen to his teachings from time to time, which could be considered as giving them an opportunity.

Compared to the mere dozen or so members of the Chan Sect, the Tongtian Sect Master's disciples were numerous, numbering over a thousand and still growing. Among these disciples were some who would later become famous, such as Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, among others, with the majority being members of the demon race.

After accepting disciples, the original differences in their philosophies on accepting disciples further developed into a conflict between the Chan and Jie sects. The vast Kunlun Mountain was gradually turned into a chaotic mess, with disciples of the two sects frequently fighting. As a result, the conflict between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu also increased day by day. By the time Laozi returned, he was powerless to mediate.

Looking at Yuanshi Tianzun, who often scolded him, Tongtian Jiaozhu became increasingly displeased and finally couldn't help but explode: "Yuanshi, don't push your luck too far. There are three thousand Great Daos, each of which can prove Hunyuan. Why be so protective of yourself? You have your Dao, and I have mine. As the saying goes, those who have different Daos cannot work together. In that case, I will leave Kunlun Mountain to you and find my own place of practice."

With a wave of his sleeve, Tongtian Jiaozhu swept up the disciples of Jiejiao and left in a huff. This made Yuanshi Tianzun feel a little regretful. He did not expect things to develop to this point. Laozi sighed slightly when he saw this. Although he was the head of the Three Pure Ones, after he became a saint and established his own sect, it seemed that the Three Pure Ones no longer regarded him as the head.

Lao Tzu glanced at Kunlun Mountain and the direction where Tongtian Jiaozhu had left, then looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, and said softly, "Second brother, although Kunlun Mountain is good, it cannot bear the fortune of the three of us sages. Now that the third brother has left, this is the will of Heaven. I, as your elder brother, also need to find another place to cultivate. I will leave Kunlun Mountain to you."

Laozi, along with Xuandu and dozens of disciples of the Human Sect, followed Tongtian Jiaozhu and left Kunlun Mountain. This surprised Yuanshi Tianzun greatly. Although he felt a little guilty, the thought that the entire Kunlun Mountain belonged to him overwhelmed him with joy. From then on, the Three Pure Ones were considered to have separated.

The separation of the Three Pure Ones has indeed caused a great stir in the prehistoric world. After all, the Three Pure Ones used to be one, and the three saints together were extraordinary. Now that the Three Pure Ones have separated, it can be seen that there is a rift between them. This is a good thing for the other saints. However, the Three Pure Ones have only separated and have not broken off their relationship. It is still not advisable to provoke them.

The happiest were Jieyin and Zhunti. In their view, the separation of the Three Pure Ones was just the beginning. The doctrines of the three religions were not only different, but also contradictory, especially between the Chan and Jie religions. If the name of the Three Pure Ones was lost, it would be a great thing for their Western religion to expand eastward.

When the Three Pure Ones were accepting disciples, Jieyin and Zhunti also began to accept disciples in the West. They would only select a few people who came to become their disciples, and then directly accept them into their sect. Unfortunately, there were very few of them, and even fewer with extraordinary talent. There were only a handful of people such as Yaoshi and Maitreya, but this made Jieyin and Zhunti very happy.

After the Three Pure Ones separated, Laozi led Xuandu and the disciples of the Human Sect to Shouyang Mountain, where he had previously met Xuandu. From then on, he established a Taoist temple on Shouyang Mountain, where he often preached, taught his disciples, and imparted the art of alchemy. When the humans around Shouyang Mountain learned of this, they came to become his disciples. Laozi selected the outstanding ones to become his disciples, and did not expel the others, allowing them to listen to his teachings at the foot of the mountain.

Meanwhile, the Tongtian Sect Leader led his disciples eastward, avoiding the noisy battles of the prehistoric land, and arrived at the East Sea. He found a fairy island to use as his training ground. This fairy island was Jin'ao Island. The Tongtian Sect Leader even built a Biyou Palace on the island, set up a training ground, opened the mountain gate, and preached to all living beings who came to listen to the Dao.

The Tongtian Sect Master didn't have many rules when he preached. He accepted almost everyone who came, and if there were any with outstanding talent, he would take them as disciples. Some were taken as nominal disciples, and he didn't expel the rest. They could also come and listen to his sermons. In a short time, the Jie Sect's prestige soared, and it looked like it would one day have ten thousand immortals paying homage to it.

The acceptance of disciples by the sages has made the prehistoric world lively. The great calamity of the Lich and Demon is about to break out, and the decisive battle between the Lich and Demon will sweep across the prehistoric world, causing great suffering to all living beings. If one can become a disciple of a sage and receive the sage's protection, one will be able to safely pass through this great calamity. Most of the rogue cultivators went to the three religions of Humanity, Chan, and Jie to become disciples, and a few went to the Western Sect to become disciples, each with their own thoughts.

Of the six sages, only Zhen Yuanzi remained at the Daoist temple outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, ignoring the primordial world and focusing solely on comprehending the laws of the Great Dao in hopes of advancing further in the future. Unless a major upheaval occurs in the primordial world in the future, he will not reappear there.

Nuwa, the goddess of the Wa Heaven, felt that the Wa Heaven was a bit deserted during this time. It couldn't be said to be deserted, since there were many creatures she had created there, but they were still created and lacked a sense of reality. So she enlightened a spirit pearl, which transformed into a seven or eight-year-old boy named Lingzhuzi, who would later become the famous Three Altars Sea Assembly God Nezha.

Nuwa adored Nezha, but he was too mischievous, which gave her a headache. To discipline this little darling, she decided to take Lingzhuzi to the God of Cookery Realm and ask Lingchi to help discipline him.

"Lingzhuzi, come here, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Spirit Pearl Girl, the Asexual Little Golden Crow

The world of culinary gods.

Looking at Lingzhuzi wolfing down his food at the dinner table, Ling Chi turned to Nuwa and asked: "Did you mistreat him?"

Nuwa was both embarrassed and ashamed, and shook her head repeatedly: No, it's just that it's the first time he's eaten Brother Ling's cooking, that's why he's like this.

Ling Chi chuckled and wiped Ling Zhuzi's mouth with a napkin: "Eat slowly, there's still plenty left!"

Lingzhuzi looks like a five or six-year-old child, with two buns in her hair, big eyes, wearing a red bib and green shorts. Her limbs are as white and tender as peeled lotus roots, making her incredibly cute.

Thankfully, it wasn't the Nezha from "Ne Zha." Although that little Nezha was a hero, he was too ugly, and he didn't like him much. The grown-up Nezha was much cooler, but unfortunately, without the suppression of the Universe Ring, he would lose his mind and would ultimately be somewhat flawed.

The little spirit pearl in front of me is much better. It's fair-skinned and cute, a bit like the little Nezha from the Lotus Lantern, and...

This spirit pearl was actually a little girl.

This primordial world is indeed extraordinary.

Ling Zhuzi was repeatedly won over by the table full of delicious food, and her affection for Ling Chi skyrocketed. She obediently let him wipe her mouth and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ling."

"You're welcome." She patted Lingzhu's bun and turned to look at Nuwa: Isn't Lingzhu quite obedient?

Nuwa shook her head: He's usually very mischievous, always causing trouble and having no sense of right or wrong. He's only obedient now because he ate Brother Ling's delicious food. He's obliged to eat what he's given.

Ling Chi nodded slightly and used his golden eyes to examine the aura within Ling Zhuzi's body. He discovered that good and evil each occupied half of his body, just like in the movie "Ne Zha".

interesting.

Ling Chi smiled slightly: Don't worry, I'll handle it.

Nuwa breathed a sigh of relief: Thank you, Brother Ling.

……

After Lingzhuzi had eaten and drunk his fill and was slumped in a chair, Lingchi infused the laws of water and fire into Lingzhuzi's body. He then made these two laws operate according to the yin-yang principle, continuously absorbing the good and evil energies within Nezha's body, making these two energies controllable.

Lingzhuzi sensed the change in the aura within his body and his face showed surprise.

"Do not struggle. Instead, experience these two laws of water and fire, gradually become familiar with them, and then try to control them."

Hearing Ling Chi's words, Ling Zhuzi calmed down and began to slowly experience and control the two kinds of law energy in her body, as Ling Chi had instructed, and gradually entered a meditative state.

About two hours later, Ling Chi observed for a while, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Nuwa, "Alright, with the cultivation methods of these two laws, Lingzhuzi will be able to control the evil side within him from now on."

"Thank you, Brother Ling." Nuwa breathed a sigh of relief. "I never imagined that Brother Ling could control even good and evil. Is there anything in this world that Brother Ling can't do?"

"Haha, that's not much." Ling Chi smiled and said, "It's too troublesome for you to travel back and forth between Nuwa Heaven and the Chef God Realm all the time. Why don't you move to the Chef God Realm to live?"

Nuwa's heart skipped a beat, and after a moment's hesitation, she shook her head: "No, I don't want to disturb you and your sisters-in-law's lovey-dovey time."

Ling Chi chuckled lightly, "Never mind then, it's just a matter of a moment anyway." He paused, "Now that the Five Saints have all taken on disciples, they will definitely expand their teachings in all directions in the future, and eventually they will fall into discord due to the infighting among their disciples. At that time, I will have to trouble Nuwa to help me deal with some troublesome matters."

Nuwa was initially displeased that Ling Chi hadn't tried to stop her, but upon hearing what he said next, her heart tightened, and she asked, "Brother Ling, are you going to slaughter a Saint?!"

"Slaughter you my foot!" Ling Chi immediately flicked her forehead and laughed, "Do you think you can just slaughter a saint like that? You try slaughtering one yourself."

Nuwa clutched her forehead and cried out in pain, giving him a resentful glare: "Hmph! You're always bullying me."

"Who told you to be my sister?" Ling Chi laughed. "Of course I can hit you whenever I want."

Nuwa gritted her teeth: So fierce!

……

While Ling Chi was helping Ling Zhuzi perfect the laws, the demon race received a joyous occasion.

Changxi is about to give birth.

On this day, a powerful yin and yang energy suddenly erupted in the Jade Pool Wonderland. This yin and yang energy soared straight into the heavens and the earth. Even in broad daylight, it caused the sun and moon to coexist between heaven and earth, echoing the yin and yang energy. This immediately attracted the attention of countless creatures in the prehistoric world, as the sight of the sun and moon shining together between heaven and earth was a rare spectacle.

Emperor Jun stood in the Jade Pool, sensing the prying eyes from all sides. He couldn't help but snort coldly, and most people instantly withdrew their divine senses, after all, they had no right to anger Emperor Jun.

To avoid disturbing his woman and child, Di Jun raised his hand, and a set of Zhou Tian Xing Chen Banners immediately flew out, forming the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array directly above Yaochi. With Di Jun's current cultivation level of severing two corpses, the power of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array was naturally incomparable to what it used to be. Although it could not completely compare to the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array set up by billions of demons, it could still unleash one-tenth of its power.

Emperor Jun directly used the Zhou Tian Star Array to cover the entire Yaochi Immortal Realm, so that even the saints could not see what was happening inside.

Within the Zhou Tian Star Array, Di Jun looked at Chang Xi, whose aura was surging around him, and a slight smile appeared on his face. This extraordinary phenomenon of heaven and earth did not last long. In a short while, ten little golden crows flew out from Chang Xi's belly, emitting joyful cries.

Di Jun looked at the ten little golden crows born from the yin and yang energies of the Sun Star and the Moon Star, and a joyful smile immediately appeared on his face. These ten little golden crows were not quite the same as the ten little golden crows in the usual prehistoric fantasy novels. The ten golden crow princes in the prehistoric fantasy novels were all purebred golden crows that inherited the true fire of the Sun Star. However, the ten little golden crows in this world, in addition to possessing the true fire of the Sun Star, also possessed the cold yin energy of the Moon Star.

Although their bodies were engulfed in the true fire of the sun, this fire also emitted an incomparably cold and yin aura, demonstrating that the ten little golden crows had perfectly inherited the dual talents of their parents. Moreover, having just been born, they already possessed the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, with talents no different from those of innate demon gods, thus surpassing countless beings from the outset.

As long as these ten little golden crows don't perish halfway through, their future prospects are bound to be limitless.

Changxi, who had just given birth, walked to Dijun's side and looked at the ten adorable little golden crows. Her face was full of love. These were her children, whom she had nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years, so naturally she loved them very much. She looked at Dijun beside her and said, "Husband, aren't our children adorable?"

Di Jun embraced Chang Xi, his eyes filled with tenderness: "They are our children, of course they are adorable."

Although Chang Xi's face was a little pale, she smiled very happily: "I'm glad my husband likes it."

"I love it, of course I love it!" Di Jun said emotionally, "For the sake of our child, I must defeat the Wu Clan and give them the entire prehistoric world."

Changxi's eyes softened even more, and after a moment of tenderness, Changxi suddenly said, "We don't know if our child is a boy or a girl yet. Let me see."

Di Jun paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay."

At Changxi's beckoning, ten little golden crows flew over, calling out "Mother," but Changxi grabbed their wings and glanced at their little bottoms.

"..."

After checking the genders of the ten little golden crows, Chang Xi was stunned: "Why aren't there any genders listed?"

"What!?" Di Jun was stunned.

……

The birth of ten baby golden crows by the demon queen Changxi was originally a cause for celebration among the demon race. However, the fact that the ten baby golden crows had no gender cast a shadow over this joyous occasion.

Although Di Jun publicly claimed that Chang Xi had given birth to ten princes, he secretly summoned Tai Yi and Fu Xi and revealed the truth.

After hearing Di Jun's account, Tai Yi was utterly shocked: "What!? My nephew...they..."

Fuxi frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, are the ten crown princes truly genderless?"

Emperor Jun shook his head: "If there were such a thing, why would I be so troubled?"

"Brother, don't worry. Although my nephews are genderless, they are born with the energy of Yin and Yang, and their talents are extraordinary. Their future is limitless. So what if they are genderless? As long as we defeat the Witch Clan and make our Demon Clan the overlord of the primordial world, and you also become a saint, we may be able to solve the gender problem for our nephews," Taiyi comforted him.

"A sage?" Di Jun was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with joy: "My brother is right. Although I have no way, the sage must have a way! As long as we invite the sage here, the problem of our children's gender will surely be solved."

At this point, Di Jun looked at Fu Xi.

"..."

Fuxi knew it was his job, after all, he knew Nuwa and Lingchi, two saints who were not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. To solve the gender problem of the ten Golden Crow Princes, Dijun would definitely not ask the Three Pure Ones for help, otherwise the demon race would owe them a favor, and these ruthless saints would definitely demand more money, which would be a loss for them.

In comparison, Ling Chi and Nuwa, who had little to no connection with the Primordial World or the Heavenly Dao, were much kinder, and Di Jun could trust them to know about his child's problems.

"Your Majesty, do not worry, I will go and invite the Sage Nuwa immediately," Fuxi said, clasping his hands in greeting.

Emperor Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said with gratitude, "Thank you for your help, Emperor Xi. If the Sage Nuwa can solve the children's problems, I am willing to pay any price."

"Your Majesty is too kind," Fuxi said. "There is no time to lose. I will go to Nuwa's Heaven now."

"Thank you for your trouble, Emperor Xi."

……

Several days later, Fuxi, having missed his chance at Nuwa's Heaven, arrived at the God of Cookery Realm, where he met Nuwa, Lingchi, and Lingzhuzi, who was familiarizing himself with the Yin-Yang laws.

"Brother, what brings you here?" Nuwa was quite surprised to see Fuxi, but after a moment's thought, she understood the whole story.

"Those ten little golden crows didn't even have genders?"

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from my sister." Fuxi sighed, first bowing to Ling Chi with clasped hands, and then said, "I will have to trouble my sister to handle this matter."

Nuwa frowned and said, "Although I am a sage, the ten little golden crows have already taken shape and cannot be changed. I am powerless to change it."
