Becoming a disciple of Tongtian, an outer disciple.

Chapter 2 Becoming a disciple of Tongtian, an outer disciple.

Chen Qing completely ignored the gazes of all living beings and walked firmly toward the great formation set up by Shangqing Tongtian.

He had experienced the gazes of all living beings upon him countless times, and now he was used to it.

After all, his cultivation level was indeed weaker, and he was no match for the others present.

All living beings are in a celestial realm, but he is still only at the Refinement of Emptiness stage, not even reaching the celestial realm.

Chen Qing had already made his decision, but he ignored everything and stepped directly into the great formation.

After entering the formation, he experienced its changes and then sat cross-legged to carefully observe it.

The grand formation set up by the sage was extremely ingenious, containing profound principles of the Great Dao. At this moment, he only glanced at it and found that the grand formation was beyond his ability to observe.

Chen Qing scanned his surroundings, but found nothing. He frowned and began to think.

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, inside the Sanqing Palace.

At this moment, Shangqing Tongtian, who was sitting high on the futon above, opened his eyes, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and looked at the great formation he had set up, a look of surprise in his eyes.

He never expected that a being born after birth would enter the great formation he had set up, wanting to become his disciple and pursue the Great Dao. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile.

Shangqing Tongtian's actions, however, attracted the attention of Taishang Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi.

At this time, there were only the three Sanqings inside the Sanqing Palace, but there were more than a hundred people outside the Sanqing Palace.

These hundred people are all disciples of Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian over the years, with the majority being disciples of Shangqing Tongtian.

"Third brother, what's making you laugh like that?"

Upon hearing this, Shangqing Tongtian looked at Taiqing Laozi and then slowly spoke.

"Elder brother, this is the great formation I set up earlier. At this moment, a human from the Acquired Realm has entered the formation, wanting to become my disciple and pursue the Great Dao."

"This is the first acquired being in all these years to want to become my disciple, which surprises me somewhat."

Upon hearing this, Yuqing Yuanshi frowned. Although his expression did not change, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

"Those born after the heavens actually dare to presume to pursue the Great Dao; it's utterly absurd."

Upon hearing this, Shangqing Tongtian did not respond, nor did he look at Yuqing Yuanshi. Instead, he focused on the great array he had set up and began to deduce the secrets of heaven.

Shangqing Tongtian calculated the secrets of heaven, and upon doing so, he discovered that this person actually had a master-disciple relationship with him.

"hiss!"

"I never imagined that this human would have a master-disciple relationship with me. This is something I didn't expect."

"Very well, since you've come this far and we have a master-disciple relationship, then I'll take you under my wing."

Upon hearing the words of Shangqing Tongtian, Laozi shook his head helplessly, then closed his eyes and departed to comprehend the Dao.

He knew that since they had a master-disciple relationship, Shangqing Tongtian would definitely accept him as a disciple, given his temperament.

Yuqing Yuanshi glanced at Tongtian, wanting to say a few words, but seeing that Taishang Laozi was not speaking, he also chose to follow Taishang Laozi and directly comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

As Shangqing Tongtian observed the great formation, a thought crossed his mind, and he directly asked a question.

Chen Qing was quietly studying the great formation when a voice rang out.

"I am Shangqing Tongtian, and the sect I founded is the Jie Sect. Since you wish to become my disciple, then tell me what the meaning of the word 'Jie' is."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing immediately stood up and respectfully bowed.

"The term '稟通天圣人' means to cut off or seize."

"The Sage of Tongtian saw that it was difficult for all living beings in the world to seek the Dao, and thinking that all the sages had no way to seek the Dao, he cut off a glimmer of hope for all living beings."

This glimmer of hope is to open the door to cultivation for all living beings, giving all creatures the opportunity to cultivate.

Chen Qing slowly explained his understanding of the meaning, including later generations' understanding of the Jie Sect, and began to narrate it slowly.

Inside the Sanqing Palace, upon hearing Chen Qing's words, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but reveal a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and he secretly nodded in approval.

Chen Qing's words were not much different from his original intention in establishing the Jie Sect. Even if there were some slight deviations, they were insignificant. At this moment, he accepted Chen Qing's words.

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he remained silent and waited quietly.

Shangqing Tongtian looked at Chen Qing, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips, his eyes showing satisfaction.

"You and I have a master-disciple relationship, but this relationship is very shallow. If you want to become my disciple, you can only become an outer disciple."

Upon hearing Shangqing Tongtian's words, Chen Qing immediately performed a master-disciple salute towards the top of Kunlun Mountain. His speed was so fast that even Shangqing Tongtian could not react in time.

"Disciple Chen Qing greets Master."

Inside the Sanqing Palace, Shangqing Tongtian smiled slightly upon hearing Chen Qing's words.

Although Chen Qing was born later in life, it is clear from what he just said that his comprehension is not low. If Chen Qing's comprehension were low, he would not have such an understanding.

For the Tongtian Sect Leader, all living beings in the primordial world have the opportunity to cultivate the Dao. However, he only cares about what pleases him. As long as someone has a master-disciple relationship with him, he will open the door to cultivation for them, allowing them to pursue the Great Dao. As for how far they can cultivate in the future, that depends on their own destiny.

The reason he has taken Chen Qing in now is the same; how far Chen Qing can go in his cultivation in the future depends on his own efforts.

Shangqing Tongtian looked at the great formation, and with a thought, a heavenly ladder appeared.

At the end of the Heavenly Ladder lies the summit of Kunlun Mountain.

"Climb the heavenly ladder to the top of Kunlun Mountain, and you may become my disciple."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at the long ladder to heaven, his eyes filled with joy.

Over the years, I have endured countless hardships, faced numerous crises, and traveled hundreds of millions of miles. But at this moment, I have finally reaped the rewards.

He successfully became a disciple of the sage, and with the sage's protection, he no longer needed to worry about the great calamity of the human race.

Moreover, with the teachings of a sage, he will be able to hear the sage's great teachings in the future.

He believed that even though he was born later in life, from this moment on, becoming an immortal would be a piece of cake. As long as he cultivated diligently, he would eventually be able to roam freely in the primordial world.

At this moment, Chen Qing stopped waiting and stepped onto the heavenly ladder, beginning to climb step by step.

At this moment, he was extremely fortunate, fortunate that he had chosen Shangqing Tongtian instead of Taishang Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi.

If he had chosen Laozi or Yuqing Yuanshi, he might have already been thrown out of the formation.

The ladder to heaven was very long, but for him at this moment, it was not a difficult task at all. As he climbed the ladder, he moved with determination and composure.

He climbed upwards step by step, walking on the ladder to heaven, his steps calm and firm.
