Chapter 77

This also caused Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, who had painstakingly rushed to Kunlun Mountain, to come up empty-handed.

"No, big brother, where did that Heavenly Fortune Master run off to again?"

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi had already placed himself in the role of Zhu Qingyun's disciple.

Before Di Jun could reply, he heard a voice that echoed through the Primordial Wasteland.

"I am Qiankun. In three thousand years, I and my elder brother, the Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor, will lecture on the Great Dao at Undying Fire Mountain; all with affinity may listen!"

"I am Tianyun. In three thousand years, I and my two elder brothers will lecture on the Great Dao at Undying Fire Mountain; all beings of the Primordial Wasteland, from those who have reached Grand Luo down to the lowest strata, who come here may cultivate my Great Dao!"

YinYang and Qiankun: "??????"

"No, younger brother, saying that makes us two elder brothers seem narrow-minded! The Great Dao must not be lightly transmitted! Naturally, those two have also set thresholds for which beings may hear the Great Dao."

Like Hunyuan, one need not have reached Grand Luo, but at the very least must be a mighty one at the peak of Taiyi!

From the younger brother's meaning, it seems he wants to transmit the Dao to all beings of the Primordial Wasteland.

To transmit the Dao to beings is to be the teacher of all beings and the ancestor of myriad Daos!

Can such immense karma truly be borne? YinYang and Qiankun inevitably felt some worry, yet in the end they still did not utter any words of dissuasion.

After spending such a long time together, they instinctively began to trust any decision made by the younger brother!

"I am the Sovereign of the Human Dao, Nüwa. In three thousand years, I and my three masters will lecture on the Great Dao at Undying Fire Mountain!"

Nüwa originally had no intention of lecturing on the Great Dao; as the Sovereign of the Human Dao, she wished to enter seclusion for a time to organize her gains.

But she, icy-snow clever, inferred from the three's actions that the master must have a profound purpose in doing so! Nüwa clearly understood that, without the master's guidance, she herself might have been refined by her elder uncle to replenish his own origin.

Even if it never came to that, the best she could hope for was to be born alongside the present Innate Gods, her cultivation stuck at Perfected Grand Luo, with no way forward!

As for secluding herself to organize her gains, delaying it by a few thousand years would not create much of an impact.

"To transmit the Dao to the Primordial Wasteland's beings! Heavenly Fortune Master truly has grand ambition!"

Di Jun sighed in this manner.

"Undying Fire Mountain?"

The two brothers were both born from the sun star, innately commanding the true fire of the sun.

As fellow fire-affiliated divinities, they truly wanted to compare whose flames were number one in the Primordial Wasteland with the Undying Fire of the Primordial Phoenix!

At equal cultivation, who is the number one fire-affiliated divinity of the Primordial Wasteland!

Immediately, the two brothers transformed into rainbows and rushed nonstop to the Immortal‑Death Volcano.

The Golden Crow's rainbow‑transformation technique is a top‑tier evasion art of the primordial era; thus, in just half a day the brothers reached the territory of Immortal Mountain.

On Immortal Mountain, a blessed cave‑heaven was set into the volcano's mouth, and countless primordial true fires appeared within it.

Colorful phoenixes danced and azure cranes' hooves rang; each Phoenix clansman performed his duty, each choosing a primordial true fire to absorb.

"There's even our solar true fire?"

A brilliant golden flame appeared in the cave‑heaven; the next moment, a huge golden phoenix appeared and absorbed the primordial solar true fire.

It was the Golden Phoenix of the Phoenix clan! Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi exchanged a glance, further firming their resolve to become disciples of Zhu Qingyun! The solar star had nurtured both brothers at once; sharing it, their origins could actually be further enhanced!

Di Jun gained consciousness before Donghuang Taiyi, yet he did not choose to devour Donghuang Taiyi's share of the origin.

Instead, as the elder brother, he allowed his younger brother to absorb as much of the solar star's origin as possible.

This is why, in the original course, Donghuang Taiyi's cultivation has always been superior to Di Jun's.

And although Donghuang Taiyi is clearly stronger than Di Jun, everything is led by Di Jun, which also stems from this.

Brother treats me sincerely; I will repay him with sincerity!

How unlike the Three Purities, who share the same root and origin; as the eldest, Taiqing has secretly gathered the origins of his two younger brothers since birth. Otherwise, do you think the formation of the Three Purities from one qi came about any other way?

As the second brother, Yuanshi is likewise; he has always looked down on Tongtian's ideas, cultivating only by following others.

Even during the Great Calamity, he allied with outsiders to scheme against his own younger brother!

Among the Three Purities, only Tongtian is the most honest—so honest that it backfired, causing his vast sect to collapse; he was even fed a saint‑killing pill and imprisoned in the Ziwei Palace.

"I, Di Jun and Taiyi, have come to become your disciples and seek the Dao; please, Senior Tianyun, have pity on us two brothers!"

Saints cannot be seen, cannot be known.

The Primordial Luo Golden Immortal is equivalent to a saint; therefore, after Di Jun and his brother reached the Immortal‑Death Volcano, they did not see Zhu Qingyun and his two brothers.

Thus they could only choose this method.

"Demonic Emperor Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi?"

Zhu Qingyun, dwelling in the Fire‑Cloud Cave‑Heaven, felt a stir in his heart; the next moment he manifested his form before the two.

Di Jun, hearing such an address, was startled.

He intends to establish a clan named Yao, and has also drawn in innate divinities such as Bai Ze, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, and Jiu Ying.

But for now he has not yet done so.

Is a mighty being of the Primordial Luo Golden Immortal realm truly this fearsome? Could he even peer into the unfathomable river of fate? Immediately, Di Jun felt ever more that he had come to the right place!

"If I could become a disciple of Daoist Tianyun, raising my banner, I could truly become the lord of heaven and earth! Why do you two wish to become my disciple?"

Zhu Qingyun realized he had perhaps let slip; the two brothers at present are not conspicuous among the many innate divinities of the primordial era.

He has been too smooth lately, becoming overconfident and careless!

Zhu Qingyun heightened his vigilance; on the path of seeking the Dao, one must always stay humble and not get carried away.

"I, however, suggest you two become disciples of my elder brother, the Yin‑Yang Old Ancestor, for I myself have not yet broken through to the Primordial Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi are the first lords of the Heavenly Court; if they could be taken as disciples by the elder brother, they would surely be able to better help him contend for the position of lord of the Heavenly Dao.

"I'm not good at teaching disciples; I think it's better for the third brother to take them!"

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi had not yet spoken when the Yin‑Yang Old Ancestor manifested his form.

The sun and moon are the most important part of the Yin‑Yang Great Dao; as the lords of the sun, they are indeed suitable as disciples of Yin‑Yang.

However, what Yin‑Yang said is also correct; he indeed is not good at teaching disciples.

Big brother, we brothers are one body; I will naturally help you teach!

Hearing Zhu Qingyun say this, the Yin-Yang Old Ancestor naturally would not be polite.

He, who originally had the intention to take disciples, immediately asked Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

"If so, would you two be willing to take me as your master?"

Di Jun's bowing as a disciple was originally to raise the great flag of Zhutian Island and pursue the position of the Lord of Heaven and Earth; thus he naturally had no reluctance, and immediately bowed down.

"Disciple Di Jun pays respects to the master, greets the second and third martial uncles, and... Martial Sister Nüwa!"

Seeing Di Jun agree to become a disciple under the Yin-Yang sect, Qiankun and Nüwa the two naturally also revealed their forms.

"I am not willing!"

Seeing his brother Di Jun successfully become a disciple of the Yin-Yang, Donghuang Taiyi then spoke.
