The Kunlun Grand Ceremony, The Struggle Over Noodles

Chapter 83 The Kunlun Grand Ceremony, The Struggle Over Noodles

North Sea.

Hongyun stood respectfully before Guixuan. "Dao Ancestor, the Three Pure Ones have invited you to go to Kunlun Mountain to preach to their disciples."

Instead of seeking favors from their own master, the Three Pure Ones have come to me.

Gui Xuan chuckled inwardly.

How can you attend their apprenticeship ceremony without bringing something as a token of appreciation?

Moreover, the Six-Eared Macaque had taken quite a few things from them before.

"They want to exchange some acquired spiritual treasures for innate spiritual treasures from me; they also want me to preach to their disciples and cleanse their foundations."

"The Three Pure Ones have really got a clever plan."

Gui Xuan said.

He preached his teachings throughout the primordial world, and countless weak creatures of the primordial world cultivated his Dao in the primordial land.

The methods practiced by the Three Pure Ones are the Xuanmen Immortal Path. If they want their disciples to go further, they must hone their own foundation to be in line with the foundation of the Immortal Path.

Relying solely on the disciples themselves would take too long.

The Three Pure Ones can rebuild the foundation of one or two disciples, but if there are too many, they can't handle it.

The one who tied the knot must untie it.

They directly set their sights on Gui Xuan, hoping to gain some benefits for their disciples.

How could the Three Pure Ones miss such a good thing?

Therefore, he personally went to the Buddhist land of the East Sea to ask the Hongyun Ancestral Buddha to invite the Guixuan Dao Ancestor to come out of the mountain.

After understanding the Three Pure Ones' plan, Guixuan summoned the Six-Eared Macaque and asked him to accompany him to Kunlun Mountain.

Just as they were about to set off, Hongyun hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Gui Xuan said without turning his head, "That little fat boy has an affinity with your Buddhism, but he is currently Tongtian's personal disciple. If he wants to be converted into your Buddhism, he will have to wait some time."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun was overjoyed. "Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"

Gui Xuan could easily see through Hong Yun's thoughts.

Ever since Di Juntian got married, this guy has been obsessed with that chubby little Duobao.

He's always complaining about wasting talent, he's practically asking Gui Xuan to help him snatch people away.

Although Duobao is the Buddha Duobao Tathagata of later Buddhism, he is now Tongtian's personal disciple.

He belongs to the third generation of Xuanmen disciples.

Even if Guixuan were to swallow his pride and demand the person back, the Three Pure Ones would not release him for the sake of saving face.

Moreover, that chubby Duobao is now completely loyal to Tongtian, so there's no way to poach him.

It's best to wait for the right opportunity.

······

Kunlun Mountain is majestic and vast.

Zhong Ling is intelligent and beautiful, like a fairy bird in flight.

As one of the ancestral mountains of the primordial era.

Kunlun Mountain connects to endless mountain ranges, and is filled with innate spiritual energy, strange beasts roam, and spiritual flowers bloom everywhere.

Countless years have passed since the lecture at Zixiao Palace, when Guixuan Daozu and the Four Sages of Heavenly Mandate discussed the Dao at Kunlun Mountain.

The lingering Taoist essence from the sermons still permeates outside the Sanqing Hall, often prompting the disciples of the Sanqing to contemplate its meaning.

After the Three Pure Ones attained sainthood, Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect and Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Jie Sect respectively set up the Heart-Questioning Array on Kunlun Mountain to select disciples.

Today is the Sanqing's Grand Ceremony for Accepting Disciples, the ceremony for formally becoming disciples.

With the conflict between the witch and demon races over, countless ancient gods came upon hearing the news, eager to see the face of the sage.

The long-forgotten Kunlun Mountains have become the most bustling place in this ancient land.

Majestic sacred mountain, immortal Kunlun.

Rays of divine light shone upon the primordial world, and at first glance, it seemed as if billions of worlds were evolving within it, with living beings chanting.

The main ridge of Kunlun Mountain, the Sanqing Hall.

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones sat cross-legged on the auspicious clouds, their Daoist aura flowing, their immortal holy might permeating Kunlun.

From left to right, they are Taiqing Sage, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and Shangqing Tongtian Jiaozhu.

It subtly corresponds to the three states of old, middle-aged, and young.

Their auras also differ.

The Tao of Taiqing follows the natural way, seemingly merging into the universe, with yin and yang flowing freely, without action or emotion.

The Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable is dressed in a majestic manner, exuding authority without anger, as if reason and law coexist.

The Supreme Lord of the Tongtian Sect revealed his full power, drawing his sword and soaring straight into the sky.

As the ancient gods calculated the time, one by one they appeared from all directions and rushed to Kunlun Mountain, where they were led there by the eldest disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Antarctic Immortal.

Then, Tongtian's eldest disciple, Duobao Daoren, sat at another table.

The Great Master Xuandu, the Sage of Taiqing, summoned his disciples from various lineages in the mountains to restore order.

Emperor Jun, the demon emperor of the Heavenly Court, personally visited Kunlun with Emperor Xi and Emperor Fuxi to present congratulatory gifts.

They waited and waited, but there was no sign of the ancestral witch of the witch clan, so they couldn't help but frown.

"These idiots, they don't even respect the sage?"

As he pondered, a Buddhist light shone and chanted from beyond the Kunlun Mountains in the distance, and two figures flew rapidly from the west.

Upon noticing the two figures, the Three Pure Ones frowned in unison, "Those two troublemakers again!"

These two from the West have been traveling all over the ancient lands lately, recruiting disciples everywhere.

If you see something you like, you say it's fate and forcibly take it away.

This caused immense suffering to the weak and vulnerable creatures of the prehistoric land, but because they were saints and benevolent beings, no one dared to provoke them.

Many creatures could only bow their heads and accept their fate, being converted to the barren lands of the West.

This action has somewhat affected the acceptance of disciples by the Three Pure Ones.

Upon seeing these two troublemakers again, Sanqing felt utterly disgusted.

Congratulations!

Jieyin appeared in front of the Sanqing Hall with a smile on his face and offered his congratulations.

Zhunti was the same, his face solemn and dignified, his eyes burning as he looked around, drooling.

"They are truly promising talents, all destined for the West."

"That's enough!"

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning's face darkened, and he uttered a soft shout.

"You saints, don't you even have any dignity?!"

These two Western Saints are utterly shameless for stealing a disciple right in front of them!

The Sage of Taiqing looked displeased, while the Master of Tongtian had a cold expression.

"Are you all going to test the edge of my Four Swords of Immortal Execution?"

Tongtian coldly stared at the two Western Saints.

Startled, Jieyin and Zhunti trembled and quickly shut their mouths, finding a place to sit down.

Even with their original bodies still intact, they couldn't defeat the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, let alone the two benevolent corpses.

Facing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is practically suicide.

I'm outta here!

"A cowardly bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong!"

This scene filled the ancient gods with shame and disdain, making them ashamed to be associated with these two!

Those who were nearby quickly moved aside, fearing that the other person might say they had an affinity with the West and be converted by it.

Ignoring the disdainful expressions of these ancient deities, Jieyin and Zhunti were happy to have some peace and quiet. They also packed up all the spiritual fruits placed around them and took them with them. They sat down happily and looked around.

They were afraid of being discovered by other deities.

I'm really hungry!

The Three Pure Ones stared speechlessly at the two Western Saints.

Ever since the Dao Ancestor Guixuan took everything from the Western world, the West has become a complete wasteland.

It's close to the point of complete extinction, if not complete annihilation.

Wherever Jieyin and Zhunti go, they never forget to pack up spiritual value and spiritual objects and plant them in the Western land.

Completely transformed into a green-themed old farmer, restoring the spiritual energy of the West.

These two saints, so revered by heaven and earth, evoke immense pity in people.

"To act like a saint to this extent, one might as well not be a saint at all!"

In an instant, all the ancient deities present had the same thought in their minds.

How pitiful! How pathetic!

Just then, strange phenomena began to occur frequently on Mount Kunlun.

The heavens and earth resounded, and golden light shone forth.

A vast and sacred figure appeared in the void.

Behind him, countless illusory golden wheels of merit shone upon the primordial land;

The laws intertwine, forming boundless divine light; the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus, its Daoist essence rising.

Countless living beings bowed in worship.

"Greetings to the Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

The Three Pure Ones also rose and bowed, saying, "Respectfully welcoming the arrival of the Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

Gui Xuan's voice was ethereal, uttering the Daoist words, "All living beings need not be so polite."

As he spoke, he pointed with his finger.

Countless primordial spiritual energies condensed, transforming into drops of spiritual dew that fell from the sky and landed in the Kunlun Mountains.

The number of spiritual plants soared, the aura of living beings increased greatly, and their strength advanced further.

All beings rejoiced, for "the Daoist Ancestor Guixuan is merciful!"

This trip was worth it!

The two Western Saints unconsciously shrank back a little.

However, they were reluctant to part with the divine dew that had fallen from the sky, and seemed to be in a dilemma.

Gui Xuan nodded and landed in front of the Sanqing Hall. Behind him, the Six-Eared Macaque carried the Xuantian Staff on his shoulder and followed obediently in chainmail.

"Six Ears pays respects to the three sages!"

When he approached the Three Pure Ones, the Six-Eared Macaque stepped forward to pay his respects, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Looking down at the ancient and sacred beings below, he was somewhat astonished.

He wondered what the monkey's identity was, that it spoke to a saint in such a tone.

The Sage of Taiqing smiled and said, "It's been a long time. You little monkey have actually achieved such cultivation. Dao Ancestor Guixuan has truly taught you well."

The Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable then spoke, "You have not disgraced the Dao Ancestor's conduct, excellent!"

The Supreme Lord of the Shangqing Sect smiled broadly, "What a wonderful fortune!"

To this day, the Six-Eared Macaque has reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, just one step away from reaching the Quasi-Saint realm.

If Guixuan hadn't intentionally suppressed it, hoping that the Six-Eared Macaque would accumulate some foundation, it would have already become a quasi-saint.

The Three Pure Ones immediately recognized this and were equally impressed, marveling at the extraordinary methods of the Dao Ancestor Guixuan.

So he was a disciple of the Dao Ancestor Guixuan; no wonder the Three Saints Association treated him this way.

If we calculate it that way, this monkey could be considered to be of the same generation as the Three Sages.

hiss! ! !

Countless saints looked at the Six-Eared Macaque with awe and envy!

only···

As they watched, the group of ancient deities sensed that something was amiss.

Why are all the magical treasures worn by this disciple of the Dao Ancestor of Returning to the Mysterious Realm acquired?

There was not a single innate spiritual treasure.

As time passed, they all looked at the Six-Eared Macaque with strange expressions.

Is this monkey disliked by the Dao Ancestor, which is why it behaves this way?

For a moment, everyone was filled with a sense of primordial sacredness and speculation.

But no one noticed that the Three Pure Ones' gazes had changed in response to their thoughts.

Their expressions were starting to become awkward.

Others might not know, but even the Three Pure Ones didn't know where the monkey's equipment came from.

They gave it all to me.

The Daoist Master Guixuan really knows how to insult people.

I only schemed against him a little, and now he's starting to scheme back.

The three Qing masters exchanged a glance, both feeling helpless.

But then Gui Xuan spoke up from the side, "Put away that outfit of yours, what are you showing off for!"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think that the three sages were petty and only brought things that were not presentable."

Oh, I see.

The primordial deity had an indifferent expression.

The Six-Eared Macaque chuckled and said, "I will obey your orders, Master!"

Well! This is mocking the three of them.

Sanqing wore a wry smile.

The Sage Taiqing spoke up, "It was our oversight that we arrived in the capital so quickly, as we did not expect the Dao Ancestor's disciple to arrive so soon."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger, and a brilliant light shone brightly in front of Liu Er.

A low-grade innate spiritual treasure appeared in front of the Six-Eared Macaque.

"This staff was acquired by chance; it is named the Ten Directions Staff, a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, and I bestow it upon you today!"

The Six-Eared Macaque held the Ten-Direction Staff, his face beaming with joy.

Overjoyed, he started dancing.

In an instant, countless shadowy sticks appeared on Mount Kunlun, shattering countless golden clouds in the sky.

After a long while, the Six-Eared Macaque, thoroughly captivated, exclaimed, "Thank you, Sage Taiqing!"

Without further ado, the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable summoned a primordial spiritual treasure with a wave of his hand.

It was a complete suit of armor. "This is the Nine-Turn Mystic Armor, a low-grade innate spiritual treasure. Wearing this armor, ordinary spiritual treasures can hardly harm you. It ranks among the low-grade innate spiritual treasures!"

The Supreme Lord of the Heavenly Clarity arrived shortly after, and with a wave of his hand, a large red cloak fell onto the Six-Eared Macaque. "This is one of my own possessions, named the Taixu Yin-Yang Cloak, which suits your attire perfectly!"

"Thank you, three saints!"

The six-eared macaque was overjoyed.

It's definitely beneficial to follow your master!

In the blink of an eye, equipment has been upgraded from basic to advanced, and acquired equipment has become innate.

The Three Pure Ones shook their heads helplessly.

Gui Xuan then spoke up, "These are all rare spiritual treasures, but they're still a bit lacking."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of magical boots appeared in the sky and landed beside the Six-Eared Macaque.

The saints calculated with their fingers and realized it was the saint Nuwa.

The Six-Eared Macaque quickly bowed to the void.

Gui Xuan nodded, and the power of law appeared in his hand. He pointed it at several innate spiritual treasures.

The precious light shone brightly.

Before the incredulous eyes of all the ancient gods, several low-grade innate spiritual treasures instantly transformed into mid-grade ones!

It was a direct upgrade of one rank!

"The Dao Ancestor Guixuan possesses truly extraordinary supernatural powers!"

The Supreme Sage sighed.

Such methods are simply beyond reason.

Then he looked behind him and said, "Xuan Du, quickly pay your respects to Dao Ancestor Gui Xuan."

A human dressed in a Yin-Yang Daoist robe, with a simple and honest face, approached and respectfully bowed to Gui Xuan, saying, "Xuan Du pays respects to Dao Ancestor Gui Xuan!"

Huh? !

Gui Xuan looked at Xuan Du, his heart filled with surprise.

He calculated with his fingertips, and after a long while, he gave the Supreme Sage a meaningful smile.

The Supreme Sage seemed not to have seen anything, his expression remaining unchanged.

The Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Supreme Pure Tongtian Sect Master each summoned their eldest disciples, the Antarctic Immortal and Duobao, to pay their respects.

Gui Xuan smiled.

These three purists really don't suffer any losses.

Fortunately, he wasn't a stingy person.

Looking at the great supernatural being who would later become famous, Gui Xuan said, "Since we are all juniors, I cannot be stingy."

"Xuan Du is a human, so he must have extraordinary abilities to be accepted as a disciple by Taiqing."

"Taiqing is skilled in alchemy. Since you are a true disciple of Taiqing, I will bestow upon you an alchemy furnace!"

With a flick of his hand, a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure appeared before Xuandu.

The three legs and two ears subtly correspond to the principle that one begets two, and two begets three.

"This furnace is called the Creation Furnace. I obtained it by chance, and today I bestow it upon you!"

This was obtained by him during the Three Races' Warring States period when the Five Emperors' incarnations went into the Dragon Clan's treasure vault, and he's giving it away today.

"Many thanks to Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

Xuan Du accepted the alchemy furnace with a smile on his face.

Gui Xuan looked at him intently, then his gaze fell on the Antarctic Immortal. "The Yuqing lineage excels in weapon crafting. You are a True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue. Today, I bestow upon you the Laws of Weapon Crafting, hoping that you can inherit the Yuqing tradition."

A chain of laws appeared from Gui Xuan and landed on the Antarctic Immortal.

The Antarctic Immortal shuddered, his early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm instantly soaring to the late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!

A powerful aura appeared on Kunlun Mountain.

When the Antarctic Immortal regained his senses, his eyes gleamed with golden light. "Many thanks to Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

Gui Xuan nodded, his gaze finally landing on Duo Bao.

Duobao bowed respectfully.

"You little fatty have many auspicious connections. Shangqing is skilled in both swordsmanship and formations. I will bestow upon you the Laws of Formations."

Upon hearing Gui Xuan's address to him, Duo Bao's expression darkened, and before he could speak, a force of law descended upon him.

When he came to his senses, he had already reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

All that's left is to work hard and gradually improve. Before long, I'll be able to take another step forward. I'm overjoyed!

"Many thanks to Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

This scene made Sanqing's teeth ache.

Compared to what the other three gave away, Gui Xuan directly gave away laws!

This is equivalent to preaching the gospel directly without damaging their foundation.

It made the three of them seem even more petty.

Before they could react, a loud beam of light shone from afar, and the Red Cloud Ancestral Buddha appeared on Kunlun Mountain.

"Welcome to the Ancestral Buddha Hongyun!"

Faced with this saint, who was the first to achieve sainthood besides Dao Ancestor Hongjun, all the hundreds of millions of living beings on Kunlun Mountain stood up and paid their respects.

Hongyun nodded. "Greetings, Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

"Congratulations to the three fellow Daoists on the arrival of your wonderful disciples."

With a flick of his finger, three streams of light landed in the hands of Xuandu, the Antarctic Immortal, and Duobao.

Looking around, one could see three spiritual treasures. "Many thanks to Ancestral Buddha Hongyun!"

Hongyun stopped talking, but took a deep look at the chubby Duobao with a happy expression, and sat down next to Sanqing.

Amidst the envious gazes of the primordial gods, the sage's several personally taught disciples of Qin each received some benefits.

The two Western Saints lowered their heads and remained silent, as if they hadn't seen anything, and secretly put away the spiritual fruit closest to them.

The Primordial Celestial Lord was so angry he almost went berserk!

I barely managed to hold my breath and finally closed my eyes.

If you don't look at it, you won't be bothered.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xuandu received the imperial edict from Taiqing and began to preside over the disciple-acceptance ceremony.

"On this vast and ancient land, countless beings seek immortality and the Dao; the sage opens his gates wide, accepting disciples from all directions. Today, we hold the apprenticeship ceremony!"

"You lot, why haven't you come to pay your respects yet!"

boom!

Hundreds of auras appeared within Kunlun Mountain.

Step by step, we walked from the main ridge of Kunlun Mountain towards the Sanqing Hall!
