Chapter 21: The Chosen of Fate! The Hope of Becoming a Hunyuan Daluo!

Mount Kunlun.

In a somewhat secluded Daoist sanctuary, Daoist Randeng gazed at the distant spiritual energy clouds, his eyes tinged with surprise.

Daoist Randeng, a name renowned far and wide, was also well-known on Mount Kunlun.

This was due to his strength.

Daoist Randeng was a genuine True Saint-level powerhouse.

During Ancestor Hongjun's lectures, Daoist Randeng was among the beings who listened, though back then he could not compare to the Three Pure Ones or Nüwa.

Even as a True Saint, his strength could not match that of other True Saints like Zhenyuanzi.

Yet when the Three Pure Ones became Saints and began taking disciples, Daoist Randeng came to beg for initiation.

To some extent, Daoist Randeng's audacity was indeed considerable.

Originally, even for a powerful being, passing the trial was difficult—not the stronger one was, the easier it became to pass the Saint's trial.

In essence, powerful beings faced the same difficulties in their original realm as weaker beings did.

Moreover, the stronger one was, the harder it became to pass the trial.

But as one who had listened to the lectures in the Purple Cloud Palace, Daoist Randeng's talent was unquestionable, and he ultimately passed the Saint's trial, leaving the Three Pure Ones and other Saints speechless.

They had publicly announced their intent to take disciples and set trials on Mount Kunlun.

Now that he had passed the trial and sincerely wished to become a Saint's disciple, could they possibly refuse?

After all, it was a matter of the Saints' dignity.

In the end, Master Yuanshi accepted Daoist Randeng, but he could not treat him as a true disciple—otherwise, the news would spread and become a laughingstock across the Honghuang lands.

Master Yuanshi could only appoint Daoist Randeng as Chanjiaofu Sect.

Naturally, this Chanjiaofu Sect title was nominal at best.

Daoist Randeng did not mind much—he had only ever sought to cling to a golden thigh.

Now that he had secured the golden thigh, everything else could wait.

Whether it was the ancient dominance of Long Feng and Beginning Qilin, or the current dominance of the Wu and Yao, Daoist Randeng sensed that Heaven and Earth were entering a great upheaval.

Even a True Saint faced extreme peril in such upheaval.

One misstep, and one might be swallowed by the Great Calamity, reduced to dust—this was precisely why Daoist Randeng joined the Chan Sect.

In this sense, the current Chanjiaofu Sect was somewhat unique within the Chan Sect.
