After Minghe kowtowed and stood up, Cheng Hao turned to look at Fuxi, who was beside him.
"Before I became a Saint, Fuxi and I were fated to be master and disciple. He can be my direct disciple!"
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Fuxi imitated what Minghe had done before and kowtowed nine times respectfully. It could be considered that he and Cheng Hao were now master and disciple.
"Zhenyuanzi, you have an extraordinary background. You were transformed by me. You can be my Pro-Disciple!"
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Zhenyuanzi was very excited. Although he had guessed that he would become the Tao Ancestor's disciple, he was still so excited that he could not control himself now that he finally got what he wanted.
After Zhen Yuanzi kowtowed and saluted, Cheng Hao shut his mouth and fell silent.
"Teacher!"
Hongyun, who was sitting on the right of Zhenyuanzi, suddenly became anxious. The first three people had all become the Tao Ancestor's Pro-Disciples. Why did the Tao Ancestor keep silent when it came to the fourth person?
Was it because of his low potential that the Tao Ancestor did not want to accept him as a disciple?
Hearing Hongyun's low voice, Cheng Hao came back from his meditation. He first glanced at Hongyun, and then set his eyes on Zhunti and Jieyin.
"The two of you have an unresolved Karma with me. You can be my in-name disciples. Are you willing? "
Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other. Both of them showed a trace of pity. It was a pity that they were not lucky enough to become the Tao Ancestor's Pro-Disciples.
"Thank you, Teacher. We are willing!"
Although nominal disciples were not as good as Pro-Disciples, they were still the Tao Ancestor's disciples. Compared with other Gods who did not even have nominal disciples, it was better. It was not bad.
Seeing Zhunti and Jieyin kowtow, Hongyun could not sit still anymore.
The three people on his left had become the Tao Ancestor's Pro-Disciples, and the two on his right had become the Tao Ancestor's nominal disciples. Why was he, the one sitting in the middle, ignored by the Tao Ancestor?
"Teacher, please take pity on me. Seeing that I am wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao, please accept me as your disciple!"
It was true that Hongyun was a good person, but his desire to pursue Dao was not weak. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, if he did not grab it and let it slip away from his fingertips, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?
Cheng Hao frowned. To be honest, he didn't want to take a nice guy like Hongyun as a disciple. After all, this kind of person was the easiest to be killed when the calamity started.
After all, everyone in the Untainted Land knew that Hongyun was a good person. Her weakness was too obvious. It was not too difficult to set a trap to kill her.
"Please take pity on me, Teacher!" Seeing Tao Ancestor frowning, Hongyun suddenly felt something was wrong. He touched Zhenyuanzi quietly, hoping that Zhenyuanzi could help him.
Zhenyuanzi deserved to be Hongyun's best friend. He immediately stood up and saluted Cheng Hao.
"Teacher, although Hongyun has some shortcomings, his desire to pursue Dao can be seen by Heaven and Earth. Please give him a chance!"
Seeing that Zhenyuanzi stood up to plead for Hongyun, Cheng Hao sighed, "Well, although you and I are not destined to be a disciple, since you can sit in the first row, you are indeed qualified to be my disciple!"
"If that's the case, you'll be my disciple in name!"
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Hongyun cried with joy and kept kowtowing on the ground. Even when he was pulled up by Zhenyuanzi, he did not forget to salute his old friend with folded hands.
He knew very well that Tao Ancestor was not satisfied with him. If Zhenyuanzi had not pleaded for him at the last moment, he would have missed this opportunity and had no chance to become a Sage in the future.
Looking at the red cloud who was crying tears of joy, the gods' faces were filled with envy and annoyance.
Now, they naturally knew that the six seats in the first row were prepared by Tao Ancestor for his disciples. Whoever could sit in the first row could become Tao Ancestor's disciple.
Even Hongyun, who was not outstanding in terms of cultivation and potential, could become Tao Ancestor's nominal disciple. Naturally, it showed the importance of the first row.
It was a pity that they did not seize the previous opportunity. If they had known that there was such a mystery in the first row, which was related to whether they could become Sages in the future, they would have fought for it when they first stepped into Haotian Palace!
But now, Tao Ancestor had appointed a disciple. Everything had been settled. It was too late to fight for it.
"Teacher, you said before that you have seven disciples. Now there is only one place left. Poor disciple who has been practicing hard for hundreds of millions of years. Can you give the last place to me?"
Just when the Deities were looking at Cheng Hao and others with envy and regret, Houtu suddenly came out of the crowd and went directly to the front. She kept kowtowing to Cheng Hao with a pleading look.
"Damn it, I forgot that there is still one place left!"
The Deities wailed in their hearts. They knew that the last opportunity had been missed. If there was no accident, Tao Ancestor would give the last place to Houtu.
Sure enough, in the constant pleading of Houtu, Cheng Hao nodded with a smile. "It is beyond my expectation that you have such a desire to pursue Tao. In this case, you are my last nominal disciple!"
"So, my seven disciples have been recruited. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave!"
Glancing at the Deities below who were still looking at him eagerly. Cheng Hao's expression was as usual, and he did not have any intention of softening his heart.
"Teacher, I have one more thing to ask you. Please tell me, among us Deities, who can become a Sage?" He got up and asked, hoping for a fluke.
Over the years, the deities had been discussing the Tao in Enlightenment City. They had basically confirmed that there were a limited number of Saints in the Untainted Land, and the quota for the Saints was probably in the hands of the two Tao Ancestors. As for which deity could become a Saint, it all depended on the will of the Tao Ancestors.
Although they knew that the Tao Ancestor would definitely give the places to several of his disciples, the Deities still felt lucky. What if Haotian Tao Ancestor had seven more Sage positions? If there were extra Sage positions, wouldn't they have a chance to fight for it?
"I am not a Heavenly Sage, and I am not favored by the Way of Heaven. I only want to take six Sage positions from the Way of Heaven!" Cheng Hao sat cross-legged on the high platform and slowly answered such a question.
Seven disciples, but only six Saint Thrones?
The Deities sighed in their hearts. There were not enough Sage positions even for the Tao Ancestor's disciples. How could they have a chance?
"Minghe, Fuxi, Zhenyuanzi, you are my personal disciples. You can get the Sage positions!"
