Chapter 10: Everyone Scrambles for a Disciple, Kong Xuan Shows His Might

"Hmph," Duobao left with a feeling of unwillingness.

"Senior Brother, you're amazing! I've long been annoyed by that guy Yuyixian, but Brother Zhao Gongming always told me to endure it. I never expected that as soon as you returned, you'd beat him into a pig's head, and even fight Duobao to a draw. I admire you so much!" Qiongxiao came up and grabbed Kong Xuan's hand as she spoke.

"Hehe, I've avenged you now, haven't I? Daring to provoke my sister Qiongxiao—hmph, if I didn't teach him a lesson, he'd think he was so impressive," Kong Xuan said with a roguish air.

"Senior Brother, you offended Duobao over such a small matter this time; it's not worth the loss. You must be careful in the future; Duobao is a guy who holds grudges," Zhao Gongming said steadily.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I just find Duobao annoying. Let's see what he can do to me. Hmph, dare to provoke me? I'll make him pay dearly," Kong Xuan said arrogantly. Why fear that bird? If he dares to provoke me, I'll just beat him up. Hmph, who told him my fists are hard?

"Alright, Senior Brother, I have matters to report to Grandmaster, so I won't accompany you. Let the three sisters show you around; after all, you aren't familiar with the surroundings yet." Saying this, Zhao Gongming headed toward Biyou Palace.

With three beauties accompanying him to stroll around, Kong Xuan was truly enjoying himself.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming walked over and said to Kong Xuan, "Senior Brother, Grandmaster is looking for you. Come with me." Saying this, he led Kong Xuan toward Biyou Palace.

"Does Grandmaster have something to ask of me?" Kong Xuan said respectfully.

"The Heavenly Sovereign has been born; he is the reincarnation of Fuxi, the elder brother of Nuwa. Now everyone is scrambling to send their disciples to take him as a student. I want to let Zhao Gongming take him as a student, but I fear his strength is insufficient and he will be taken by others. I hope you will help him succeed in taking Fuxi as a student," Tongtian said solemnly.

"I wonder, what benefit is there for our Jie Sect if we take Fuxi as a student?"

"First, Zhao Gongming will gain great merit, which is very helpful for his future cultivation. Moreover, if we can take the Heavenly Sovereign as a student, the fortune of the Jie Sect will grow significantly, making the Jie Sect even more prosperous. Do you understand?" Tongtian continued.

"Yes, this disciple will certainly help Junior Brother Zhao Gongming take Fuxi as a student and contribute to the Jie Sect." Kong Xuan hurriedly made up his mind. Of course, the more critical the moment, the more one's heroic character is revealed.

After exiting Biyou Palace, Zhao Gongming said respectfully to Kong Xuan, "I've troubled you with this matter, Senior Brother. You've only just returned and are already helping me; I truly feel bad about it."

"Junior Brother, what kind of talk is that? We are fellow disciples; saying such things hurts our relationship. When you become stronger in the future, you can help me; why be so polite?" Kong Xuan said, pretending to be angry.

"It was this junior's rashness. Then, Senior Brother, when shall we set off?" Zhao Gongming said hurriedly.

"Do you need to prepare anything? If not, let's go now," said Kong Xuan.

"No need to prepare. Let's go now," Zhao Gongming said excitedly. Nonsense, who wouldn't be excited when facing such a good thing?

Zhao Gongming brought Kong Xuan to Fuxi's home. As soon as they entered, they were startled; the inside was packed with people.

Through Zhao Gongming's introduction and his own observations, the people who had come included Xuandu, the eldest disciple and only disciple of Laojun; Guangchengzi and Huanglong Daoren from among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect under Yuanshi Tianzun; and others who were merely rogue cultivators.

Watching those rogue cultivators arguing until their faces were red and their necks thick, Kong Xuan felt it was laughable. Even you lot dare to come and compete? You really don't know your own weight—like a pig with green onions stuck in its nose, pretending to be an elephant.

At this time, he heard Master Xuandu say to a woman holding a child, "My Daoist name is Xuandu, and I am the eldest disciple under the Taiqing Saint. I wish to take your son as my student."

Guangchengzi also immediately said, "I am Guangchengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals under the Yuqing Saint. I wish to take your son as my student. I hope you will agree, Madam."

Zhao Gongming also said, "I am Zhao Gongming, the fifth disciple under the Shangqing Saint. I wish to take your son as my student. I hope you will consider it and agree, Madam."

This woman was likely Huaxushi. It is said that Fuxi's mother, Huaxushi, stepped in the footprint of a giant in a place called Leize, became pregnant, and subsequently gave birth to Fuxi in Chengji. She was an outstanding female leader of the tribe, so she was very intelligent. She knew these people all had great backgrounds and that she could not afford to offend any of them, so she said, "I am just a woman and have no great judgment. You Daoists should discuss it among yourselves and see which master my son should apprentice under."

Guangchengzi looked at Xuandu and then at Zhao Gongming, saying, "None of us wants to give in, so let's stop the nonsense. Whoever has the stronger strength shall take him as a student. What do you all think?"

Xuandu and Zhao Gongming both nodded, clearly very satisfied with this decision.

"Good. Since no one has any objections, I will take the lead. Who will compete with me?" Guangchengzi continued.

Hearing the words of Guangchengzi, Xuandu, and Zhao Gongming, some rogue cultivators realized they were disciples of the Three Pure Ones and couldn't compete, so they automatically withdrew. However, there were those who were unwilling. An old Daoist holding a horsetail whisk stepped up: "This poor Daoist is Zhao Zou. I'd like to learn your unique skills, fellow Daoist." When Kong Xuan heard this, he almost laughed out loud. "Zhao Zou"—the name was truly fitting; he was really "looking for a beating."

"Good, please make your move, Daoist Zhao Zou," said Guangchengzi.

This Zhao Zou's cultivation was not bad—early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal—but against Guangchengzi, who was a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal and a capable disciple of the Primordial sect, he was absolutely outmatched. After only a few moves, he was pressed to the ground by Guangchengzi's Seal of Heaven-Turning.

"Which other fellow Daoist wishes to offer instruction? Guangchengzi is here to accept," Guangchengzi continued.

The rogue cultivators who originally had the heart to compete saw that an early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal couldn't even last a few moves, and fearing they wouldn't fare any better, they withdrew.

"Is there no one left? I'll come and stretch my muscles." A lazy, roguish voice reached everyone's ears. It was Kong Xuan. Seeing no one else stepping up, Kong Xuan knew it was his time to appear, so he walked out.

"May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?" Seeing that the person who had come out had high cultivation and was a tough character, Guangchengzi asked.

"Kong Xuan, fourth disciple of the Shangqing Saint. Come, let's fight." Still in a lazy tone.

Upon hearing that he was a disciple of a Saint, Guangchengzi became cautious. "Good, fellow Daoist is so bold. Let me see what unique skills you possess." As he spoke, he attacked, using the Jade Clarity Wonderful Method. It was indeed exquisite and unparalleled; every attack was sharp and fierce, carrying the deep magic power of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal—truly imposing. Conversely, Kong Xuan was even more extraordinary; every time it seemed he was about to be hit, he would dodge safely. At first, everyone thought it was luck, but as time passed, everyone knew that Kong Xuan was someone with real strength.

Looking at Kong Xuan's counterattacks, every punch sent Guangchengzi stumbling back several steps, spitting out bright red blood. Guangchengzi knew that if this continued, he would surely lose. Finding an opportunity, he channeled all his magic power and launched the Seal of Heaven-Turning to press down on Kong Xuan. This Seal of Heaven-Turning had quite a history; it was refined by Yuanshi Tianzun using the broken half of Mount Buzhou. It could be large or small, possessed immense power, and was a must-have for smashing people.

Seeing the Seal of Heaven-Turning crashing toward him, what a man Kong Xuan was—he didn't even dodge. He channeled all his magic power and launched a Blazing Flame Air-Punch, roaring toward the Seal of Heaven-Turning.

A tremor was seen; Kong Xuan stood firmly on the ground, while the Seal of Heaven-Turning was knocked back, shrinking until it became the size of a seal and stopped moving. Conversely, Guangchengzi, who had launched the seal, vomited blood and said weakly, "Fellow Daoist's strength is profound. Guangchengzi admits defeat willingly. I shall take my leave." After speaking, he took Huanglong Zhenren and flew away.
