Chapter Thirty-Six: The Sages Accept Disciples, and the Queen Mother of the West Joins the Jie Sect

After enjoying 15% of the human race's fortune, plus the 20% of the witch race's fortune he already possessed, Xuan Chu finally awaited the day he could return to the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm. However, before breaking through, Xuan Chu made a special trip back to the Pangu Palace to give some instructions to the twelve ancestral witches and arranged for Hou Tu to temporarily supervise the witch race. He also handed over his companion spiritual treasure, the Primordial Sword, to Hou Tu to intimidate the ancestral witches before heading to the Chaos Realm to break through.

While Xuan Chu went to the Chaos to seek a breakthrough to the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm, the four major sects of the Primordial World also finished recruiting disciples, and each sect received an astonishingly satisfactory number of disciples.

The Human Sect is relatively Buddhist in its approach. Taishang did not open its doors wide to all cultivators to Kunlun Mountain. Instead, he chose to travel through the prehistoric world to find disciples who were destined to be his. After a thousand years, Taishang finally found a human named Xuandu among the human race. Xuandu was exceptionally intelligent from a young age. He cultivated the Golden Elixir method, established his foundation at the age of five, and entered the Earth Immortal realm at the age of thirty. Without any cultivation techniques, he relied on his own efforts to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. Ultimately, Taishang valued him, accepted him as a disciple, and made him the first disciple of the Human Sect.

The Chan Sect opened its doors wide in Kunlun Mountain. However, the original man only valued background and aptitude, so countless cultivators were turned away. In the end, the original man only accepted twelve personal disciples and two nominal disciples. It is also worth mentioning that Randeng, who was once a guest in Zixiao Palace, also joined the Chan Sect. Since they had both listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace, the original man did not accept Randeng as a disciple, but only incorporated him into the Chan Sect and appointed him as the vice leader of the Chan Sect.

The Western Sect is in a much more awkward position. Because the Western continent is barren, Eastern cultivators are unwilling to go to the West. Therefore, the Western Sect can only choose the best among the worst in the West, selecting a group of disciples with decent aptitude.

The Intercepting Sect of Tongtian was much more lively. Because Tongtian had defeated the Four Great Sages in the East Sea, his reputation had soared. Even if people hadn't witnessed the scene of Tongtian's battle against the Four Great Sages, they had heard of Tongtian's legend. Therefore, the most cultivators went to Jin'ao Island. Moreover, Tongtian accepted all comers. Basically, anyone who could pass the Heart Refining Array was taken into Tongtian's fold. The number of people was as many as three thousand. Among them, there were seven personal disciples: Kong Xuan, Jin Peng, Duo Bao, Wu Dang, Gui Ling, Jin Ling, and Yun Xiao. There were more inner disciples, including Zhao Gongming, Qiong Xiao, Bi Xiao, Ling Ya Xian, Qiu Shou Xian, and the Seven Sword Attendants, among dozens of others.

At first, Tongtian was quite conflicted about whether to accept Kong Xuan and Jin Peng as disciples. Kong Xuan and Jin Peng were indeed very talented. As the first peacock and the first golden-winged roc in the world, they were respectively endowed with the Five Elements Law and the Yin-Yang Law. They were also the sons of the phoenix, truly the pride of heaven and good seedlings for cultivating the Dao of Law. If they were properly nurtured, they would at least become Hunyuan Golden Immortals in time.

However, precisely because Kong Xuan and Jin Peng are sons of the Phoenix Clan, who caused countless killings during their struggle for supremacy in the primordial world, the Phoenix Clan, as one of the protagonists of the Great Tribulation, was almost wiped out after the war between the three clans. The remaining Phoenix Clan members were suppressed in the Undying Volcano, burdened with heavy karma. Although Kong Xuan and Jin Peng never lived a single day in the Phoenix Clan, it did not change their Phoenix Clan identity. They also shared in the karmic burdens borne by the Phoenix Clan. Therefore, no matter which sect they joined, it would affect the sect's fortune.

That is why the Kong brothers did not join the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, or the Western Sect, because they knew very well that only Tongtian, who dared to defy the Heavenly Dao, could possibly take them under his wing.

After much deliberation, Tongtian still couldn't bear to part with Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, two promising talents, and finally took them under his wing. As for the karmic burdens on the two, Tongtian couldn't do anything about it, but he believed that Xuan Chu would have a solution.

However, besides Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, Tongtian had another problem: Xi Wangmu, who had once been a guest of Zixiao Palace and was appointed by Hongjun as the head of all female immortals, also came to Jin'ao Island. Therefore, Tongtian also encountered the same troubles he had not long ago.

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, you and I are both guests of the Zixiao Palace and fellow cultivators of the same generation. Logically speaking, we should address each other as senior and junior brothers and sisters. Moreover, you are the head of all female immortals in the world, appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. How can I possibly accept you as my disciple?" Tongtian looked at Queen Mother of the West and said with a troubled expression.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, please stop talking about being the head of all female immortals. I almost died because of this empty title. As for you and me being fellow cultivators, that's not important. I don't necessarily want to become your disciple. Didn't Randeng become your disciple? Besides, you've already left the Xuanmen sect, so the idea of ​​being fellow disciples is even more inappropriate. I sincerely want to join the Jiejiao sect. I hope Fellow Daoist Tongtian will give me a chance, considering we are both cultivators from Kunlun Mountain," said the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West was determined to join the Jie Sect. Back then, she and the King Duke of the East were tricked by Hongjun in Zixiao Palace, who bestowed upon them the titles of the head of all male immortals and the head of all female immortals. As a result, the King Duke of the East's ambition swelled, and he attempted to command the prehistoric world. In the end, he was killed by Dijun and Taiyi leading the demon race.

After the death of the Eastern King Duke, the Western Queen Mother lived in constant fear and had no choice but to hide in the Western Kunlun Mountains. The Kunlun Mountains are divided into the Eastern Kunlun Mountains and the Western Kunlun Mountains. The Eastern Kunlun Mountains are the place where the Three Pure Ones took form, while the Western Kunlun Mountains are the place where the Western Queen Mother took form. As fellow cultivators of the Kunlun Mountains, as long as the Western Queen Mother did not leave the Kunlun Mountains, the demon race would never dare to cause trouble there.

However, hiding in Xikunlun was not a solution. After Taishang and Yuanshi became saints, they recruited many disciples and gradually began to squeeze Xikunlun's living space. In order to survive, Xi Wangmu knew that she had to find a powerful backer to rely on. However, Xi Wangmu was the head of all female immortals appointed by Hongjun, and the sects under the Xuanmen sect would never accept her. So Xi Wangmu made up her mind and came to Jin'ao Island. Now, in the entire prehistoric world, only the Jie Sect of Tongtian had the courage and background to accept her.

"Alright then, fellow Daoist, I will temporarily accept you as a guest elder of the Jie Sect. You will reside on Jin'ao Island from now on, and we will address each other as senior and junior brothers and sisters. I will make further arrangements after consulting with my uncle." Tongtian understood Xi Wangmu's situation, and Xi Wangmu was also one of the top supernatural beings in the prehistoric world. He was also in need of help, so accepting her was not a problem. However, Xi Wangmu was, after all, a member of the Xuanmen sect, and had been appointed by Hongjun as the head of all female immortals in the world. Therefore, Tongtian could only temporarily arrange for Xi Wangmu to be a guest elder of the Jie Sect. After consulting with Xuanchu, he would decide whether to make west Wangmu a true member of the Jie Sect.

"I hope you fellow Daoists will help me achieve this!" Although she could not become a true member of the Jie Sect for the time being, she felt it was acceptable to become a guest elder of the Jie Sect and be protected by it, since she was now in a desperate situation.

"In that case, fellow Daoist, please stay on Jin'ao Island for the time being. You can rest assured that with me here, Dijun and Taiyi would never dare to come to Jin'ao Island to harass you," Tongtian said.

"Yes, Senior Brother!" The Queen Mother of the West remembered that Tongtian had said that the two of them would address each other as senior and junior brothers and sisters in the future, so she also called him Senior Brother.

Upon hearing the Queen Mother of the West call him "senior brother," Tongtian was instantly in a bind.
