Chapter 41: The Three Pure Ones gather to discuss the competition
Yuxu Gong!
"Haha, Big Brother, Second Brother, long time no see!"
Tongtian Jiaozhu brought Lin Fan and other disciples into it with big strides, and seeing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun on the main seats, he walked up laughing.
"Third Brother is here."
"Third Brother, mind your manners!"
Seeing Tongtian's arrival, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun also stopped their conversation and greeted him.
It was just that Yuanshi Tianzun was clearly dissatisfied with Tongtian's unrestrained posture, couldn't help but frown, and put on his dignity as a Second Brother.
"There are no outsiders here, Second Brother!"
Laughing, Tongtian Jiaozhu didn't care about Yuanshi Tianzun's reprimand at all and directly walked to the third chair to sit down.
Immediately after, his gaze looked at Laozi: "Big Brother, it's been many years, and you still only have Xuandu as a disciple. Don't you plan to expand the scale of the Human Sect?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yuanshi Tianzun beside him also looked at Laozi curiously.
After all, as the head of the Saints and the Lord of the Ren Sect, Laozi only having one Personal Disciple was indeed a bit unjustifiable.
Even if it was already determined that Xuandu was the only Personal Disciple, it wouldn't delay him from taking in some Registered Disciples to handle affairs.
"No need."
Waving his hand, Laozi said dismissively: "When I take in disciples, I focus on comprehension and opportunity!"
"Xuandu is very good. After he grows up, we can recruit some third-generation disciples to handle affairs."
"As for me, besides alchemy and cultivating the Dao, I don't have much thought for teaching disciples."
Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu both nodded.
They both knew Laozi, and they also knew how rich this Big Brother's heart for seeking the Dao was.
Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun directly changed the subject: "Third Brother, your Jie Sect recruits too broadly; it would be better to streamline it as soon as possible!"
"After all, you know very well that without a treasure to suppress fortune, if the number of people in the Jie Sect is too huge, it will not be a benefit to you, but a burden!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence.
Duobao and the others in the hall all lowered their heads, seeming to have gotten used to similar words.
Only Lin Fan looked at Yuanshi Tianzun in surprise.
He never expected that Yuanshi Tianzun, who was like water and fire in the original work, would actually advise Tongtian Jiaozhu.
But thinking of the relationship between the two sides, and the fact that they were still in the era of the Witch-Demon Calamity, Lin Fan soon felt relieved.
In this era, the Witch and Demon clans were supreme; although Saint disciples were glamorous, in reality, they were just occupying one side.
Even as Saints, they didn't dare to provoke behemoths like the Witch and Demon clans at will.
Precisely because of this, there was no major conflict between the Chan and Jie Sects, nor was there a life-and-death struggle; Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu certainly had different philosophies, but they were brothers after all.
"Pity!"
"Once the Witch-Demon Calamity ends and the Human Race begins to rise, the conflict between the Chan and Jie Sects will intensify."
"It even evolved into the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, evolving into the ending of the Jie Sect's destruction!"
Muttering inwardly, Lin Fan also lowered his head and stopped looking at Yuanshi Tianzun.
"No need to worry, Second Brother!"
Laughing, Tongtian Jiaozhu said dismissively: "Just Registered Disciples, they won't affect me much, nor will they affect the future of the Jie Sect!"
"My Dao is to intercept a glimmer of life; with so many people with a heart for seeking the Dao, I naturally cannot turn a blind eye!"
"However, Second Brother, I heard that you have made full preparations for this Three Teachings Competition!"
"Now that Big Brother and I have both arrived, Second Brother, why don't you tell us about it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects in the hall all looked at where Yuanshi Tianzun was.
Including Xuandu, who was standing not far from Laozi, also showed curiosity.
After all, the Three Teachings Competition was a grand event for the Ren, Chan, and Jie Sects; the previous few times had been quite lively, so this time naturally could not be an exception.
"Haha, Third Brother, you are indeed well-informed."
With the corners of his mouth raised, Yuanshi Tianzun was full of confidence: "The previous Three Teachings Competitions were basically dominated by the slaughter between the disciples of the three teachings. Although it could best test everyone's strength and foundation, after so many years, it has become a bit boring."
"This time is different; I have already finished refining a Star Source Map obtained from Fenbao Cliff, which carries a star domain."
"This star domain has a total of twelve planets, and I have set up tests on each planet; they are fierce beasts I captured!"
Speaking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to think of something and turned his head to look at Laozi: "Big Brother, I plan to take out a portion of spirit treasures and put them inside, and let the disciples of the three teachings compete for them!"
"Besides that, the fierce beasts on the planets are limited, and the twelve fierce beasts are existences at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals. By then, the disciples of the three teachings can freely form teams to hunt them. Each guardian beast will have a token on its body, from which twelve spots will be screened!"
"These twelve people can decide the winner in the star domain, and then just make a ranking!"
Hearing this, Laozi and Tongtian Jiaozhu's eyes lit up.
Star Source Map!
Twelve planets and fierce beasts.
It had to be said that Yuanshi Tianzun's Three Teachings Competition this time was indeed quite brilliant.
After looking at each other, Laozi nodded: "Good, since Second Brother says so, I have no opinion!"
Getting Laozi's reply, Yuanshi Tianzun was all smiles.
Immediately after, he turned his head to look at Tongtian Jiaozhu: "What about you, Third Brother?"
"I have no problem either!"
Waving his hand, Tongtian Jiaozhu said calmly: "Great Luo Golden Immortal level fierce beasts are indeed dangerous, but they also have fatal flaws, which is that their intelligence is insufficient. It is not impossible for the disciples of the three teachings to hunt them down with their wisdom and means."
"However, Lin Fan under my sect will not participate in this matter. After all, he is someone I have only recently taken in, and his strength is not enough to participate in this matter!"
What?
I'm not participating!
Hearing this, Lin Fan subconsciously raised his head to look at Tongtian Jiaozhu.
And Duobao, Wudang, Yunxiao, and others to the side were also stunned as they looked at where Lin Fan was.
They never expected that Lin Fan, as an Inner Sect Disciple, would be directly excluded; was it because he was disgusted by his low strength? Or was it a different kind of favoritism for Lin Fan?
The commotion of Duobao and the others also attracted the attention of the rest of the people present.
Xuandu, Guangchengzi, Manjusri, Taiyi, Huanglong, and others also looked at where Lin Fan was.
Sizing him up, they roughly saw that Lin Fan's cultivation was only at the Mysterious Immortal Realm, which matched Tongtian Jiaozhu's words.
But precisely because of this, the curiosity in their eyes became even greater.
An Inner Sect Disciple at the Mysterious Immortal Realm.
This was simply the first time since the opening of the world.
Even when the Three Pure Ones first took in disciples, the Inner Sect Disciples were at least at the Golden Immortal Realm, or even the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.
How could Tongtian Jiaozhu's standard for taking in disciples have dropped so much after so many years? ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
