Chapter 43: Accepting Disciples
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The teaching for this instance was of the Origin, which was unusually mysterious and obscure. Even the Three Pure Ones, G.o.ddess Nvywa, Jieyin and Zhunti sitting in front were also frowning. The Three Pure Ones had a Spiritual Inheritance of Pangu, enjoying more advantages than the other three. Thus, they had understood about thirty to forty percent.
As for G.o.ddess Nvywa and Zhunti, they only understood ten to twenty percent. G.o.ddess Nvywa frowned the entire time, but Zhunti had a grimace on his face as if someone owed him lots of money. Jieyin with a stronger willpower and perception than both G.o.ddess Nvywa and Zhunti just frowned or smiled, gaining an understanding of twenty to thirty percent.
As for the cultivators sitting behind, those Sages-to-be had only understood a little. Those who were still at the Zenith Heaven Realm understood nearly nothing. Hongjun"s teaching at this time was also not prepared for them but for the Three Pure Ones, G.o.ddess Nvywa, Jieyin, and Zhunti mainly.
However, Minghe sitting on the side harvested a lot. Hongjun"s teaching of the Origin to him was like finding an oasis in a desert. His Realm of Original Spirit had been upgraded largely, and the Tao of Divine Law had also been improved. Minghe and his Evil Separation had made a solid foundation for Realm of Sage-to-be Peak Level, and his Good Separation also had a sign of a breakthrough.
Three thousand years later, Hongjun finally finished his teaching on the Dao of the Origin. Few could keep sober among the more than two thousand people in the hall, most of them were dizzy. It was not surprising. The Dao of the Origin was extremely mysterious, and those whose cultivation were at low level could be like this after listening to the content.
Those dizzy people naturally woke up when Hongjun said, "After Pangu"s Creation of Heaven and Earth, I got a Fate Jade Plate and have obtained an insight into the Great Way, so I follow the will of the heaven to teach all living beings for three times. Now it has reached the fulfillment. After today, I will combine myself with the Way of Heaven and not come out unless the general trend of the universe."
Everyone bowed to him upon hearing that. Hongjun continued, "Under the Way of Heaven, Sages shall come out following the Way of Heaven and become Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of Origin, obtaining insight into the Origin and leaving their Original Spirits in the Void for being an immortal body in the Tribulation! If you cannot become Sages, death will fall during every Cultivation Tribulation. Therefore, no Mix Nascent Core will always mean nonent.i.ty!"
Everyone was shocked after hearing that, but then Hongjun"s next words were even more shocking. "There should be six Sages accepted by me!" Six Sages? Everyone reacted instantly and looked together at the six people sitting in front. These six seats represented six Sages!
Some people were envious and some were regretful, but two people were different from others. One was Hongyun. He should have occupied a Sage seat but had given up in vain. He was naturally filled with remorse in his heart. Although he was a good man, he still could not be as generous as before on being a Sage.
The other one was certainly Kunpeng. Now Kunpeng was angrily staring at Hongyun. If it was not Hongyun, Kunpeng maybe not lose the chance to be a Sage. If the eyes could kill, Hongyun had already been poked full of holes by Kunpeng"s eyes.
Of course, there was someone who was not reconciled that asked, "May I ask, teacher, who can enjoy the chance to be the six Sages?" Although they had guessed that the six sitting atop the cushion enjoyed the chance, they were naturally unwilling to believe if Hongjun himself did not say that.
Hongjun stretched out his hand and a piece of Immortal Qi appeared in his hand, which must be the Foundation of the Great Way, Hong Meng Immortal Qi. And then he said, "Pangu created the heaven and had grand merit. Laozi, the Primeval Lord, and Tongtian are converted from Pangu"s Original Spirit, and you three can be my disciples. When the Fated Chance arrives, you can enjoy its merits and become Sages."
After speaking, three Immortal Qi flew out from Hongjun"s palm into the Three Pure Ones" eyebrows. There instantly appeared a joy on the Three Pure Ones" face. Hongjun continued. "G.o.ddess Nvywa is my last disciple. She also has grand merits to do in the future and can be a Sage."
Another Immortal Qi flew out into G.o.ddess Nvywa"s eyebrows. However, after saying that, Hongjun was silent. Jieyin and Zhunti became very anxious seeing that. G.o.ddess Nvywa was the last disciple, and then what would Jieyin and Zhunti be?
Seeing that, Zhunti immediately kowtowed and said, "Teacher, my senior brother and I wholeheartedly seek Dao, and hope teacher could help us." His tears and snot came down when he said. If he was in the later life, he must be a great actor.
Hongjun, after hearing Zhunti"s "crying", said, "Jieyin and Zhunti can be my listed disciples. Although with no primordial merit, you"re destined to establish a great tribe and obtain merits, so you also can be Sages." Then another two Immortal Qi were handed out.
But everyone had been staring at the Immortal Qi in Hongjun"s hand. After handing out six Immortal Qi, one still remained. Everyone had immediately rejoiced. That meant they still had a chance, so they instantly copied Zhunti"s kowtow and said, "We hope teacher has a blessing for us." This made Minghe break out in cold sweat, thinking they were all great movie stars!
Hongjun helplessly shook his head and sighed at this display, "Well, all right. I"ll just give it to you!" The last Immortal Qi in his hand flew out and wandered around the hall. Everyone would have liked to grasp it, but there was no way to do that. It could not be grabbed at all.
This Hong Meng Immortal Qi had wandered around the hall for a long time, but it still did not fall. Minghe was also anxious seeing that from the sidelines. Finally, Hong Meng Immortal Qi flew directly into a man in a red robe as quick as a flash. Who could it be but Hongyun?
Hongyun was ecstatic after receiving the Hong Meng Immortal Qi and even forgot to appreciate Hongjun"s gift. He was so happy there that he completely did not notice the malicious looks from the crowd, especially the ferocious eyes hidden in them. Zhenyuanzi had sat beside him signed after seeing that. He also did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse for Hongyun to get the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, and he needed to remind Hongyun when they came back.
Kunpeng, looking at Hongyun who was still in joy, gritted his teeth spitefully. Hongyun himself willingly gave up his position, but it caused him to lose the chance to be a Sage as well. But now, since Hongyun had gotten Hong Meng Immortal Qi, how would it make Kunpeng not hate Hongyun?
Finishing handing out the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, Hongjun continued to say, "The Great Way has fifty, and forty-nine can be predicted from the Way of Heaven. One Fated Chance is left. So although the Way of Heaven has fixed number, those who have great perseverance and wisdom can also be a Sage. You all need to fight for that Fated Chance! "
As soon as Hongjun made this remark, the atmosphere below suddenly became strange. All the immortals were staring at each other ferociously. Did it mean that the Hong Meng Immortal Qi could be s.n.a.t.c.hed? The Three Pure Ones, G.o.ddess Nvywa, Jieyin and Zhunti were all Hongjun"s disciples who they did not dare to s.n.a.t.c.h, but Hongyun was not!
Those who only showed unkind eyes to Hongyun before started to have an intent to kill him. Every immortal having cultivated to this level thought they had great perseverance and wisdom and should have a chance to reach a Mix Nascent Core. Thus, what they lacked was just a Hong Meng Immortal Qi.
Minghe was very clear about this. Hongjun"s words seemed to be kind, but it, in reality, hid evil conscience. Poor Hongyun had been tricked by Hongjun, but Hongyun still immersed himself in the joy of getting Hong Meng Immortal Qi too deeply to withdraw,giving him little chance to live.
But it did not mean there was no way for self-saving. Hongyun and his friend Zhenyuanzi were at the level of Sage-to-be, but only they two may not secure this Hong Meng Immortal Qi. The Wu and Demon Tribes and Individual Cultivators in Untainted Land would come to kill Hongyun, so how would Zhenyuanzi help Hongyun out?
If Hongyun could be able to abandon the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, he might save himself. The Hong Meng Immortal Qi was the one that all cultivators wanted, and even Kunpeng would have no time to take revenge on Hongyun at that time. Thus, Hongyun would naturally escape from the scheme of Hongjun.
But would Hongyun give it up easily? Becoming a Sage had a fatal attraction to any cultivator. Hongyun apparently had been deeply attracted by the Hong Meng Immortal Qi judging from his appearance now. Even that Zhenyuanzi tried to persuade Hongyun to give it up, he might also fail in the end.
At this time, there was thin Evil Spirits between heaven and earth in Untainted Land, and Cultivation Tribulation was about to appear. If all the people s.n.a.t.c.hed the Hong Meng Immortal Qi from Hongyun, the Evil Spirit would increase rapidly no matter who died. Moreover, supposing someone at the level of Sage-to-be died, the Cultivation Tribulation for this time might be triggered completely.
Minghe also considered as he looked at Hongyun. Hong Meng Immortal Qi was useless to him. As Minghe"s cultivation had reached present realm, he had understood the Great Way and would definitely not to give up his Great Way for a Hong Meng Immortal Qi. But he was a little curious about the Hong Meng Immortal Qi on what special use of it could help people quickly to actualize the Realm of Origin.
