Seeing that Yuanshi and Tongtian were silent, Lao Tzu said, "You don't have to be so worried. Now that we have a general understanding of River Styx's strength, we can be prepared if there is a battle in the future."
That was indeed the case. However, it was impossible for the three of them to not take it seriously. The Three Pristine Ones claimed to be the authentic lineage of Pangu. Although they were now Sages, they had borrowed the Hong Meng Immortal Qi and had given up the path of proving the Dao. Although they were already at the Middle-stage of Sages, it was not so easy for them to improve their strength.
Sanqing felt threatened by River Styx. They were all eager to improve their cultivation. However, if a Sage wanted to improve their cultivation by comprehending Tendo, the speed was slower than a snail's. The only thing they could rely on was luck.
Thinking of this, Lao Tzu remembered the ten percent of luck he had with the Human Race. Although he still held a grudge against Wu Zu, it seemed that he had to fight for the Human Race's luck now. The matter of preaching was also imperative. Otherwise, in the long run, he might not be able to keep his ten percent of luck with the Human Race.
Lao Tzu calmed down and said, "Second Brother, Third Brother, the matter of preaching for the Human Race is imperative. However, you also know that other than our three religions, Zhen Yuanzi is also preaching. In addition, Summon and Zhunti in the West are also eyeing us covetously. We must speed up our preaching and occupy a higher position among the Human Race. If the Human Race becomes the protagonist of the world in the future, we will also have the initiative."
Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded. Although there were hundreds of races in the Great Desolation and the Human Race had not made any big moves, with the wisdom of the Sages, they could naturally see that the Human Race would become the protagonist of the Great Desolation. If they did not preach now, when would they? If they could occupy some of the luck of the Human Race now, they would naturally benefit greatly when the Human Race became the protagonist of the world.
… ….
In the Kunlun Mountains, Yuanshi, Lao Tzu, and the Tongtian had finished their discussion and returned to their dojo. However, when they saw Guang Chengzi kneeling outside the Pure Jade Palace, they were stunned. At this time, Guang Chengzi was no longer as domineering as before. His aura was extremely dispirited.
When Empyrean Yuanshi saw this, his brows furrowed deeply. He landed in front of Guang Chengzi and said resentfully, "What? One blow made you unable to recover? You have disappointed me too much. " Among the disciples of the Chan School, the twelve Golden Immortals were the most favored by Yuanshi, and Yuanshi was the most satisfied with Guang Chengzi among the twelve Golden Immortals. Seeing him like this, how could he not feel heartache?
When Guang Chengzi saw Empyrean Yuanshi appear, he kowtowed and said, "Master, this disciple has disappointed you. This disciple knows his mistake. This disciple has embarrassed you, please punish me." This time, Guang Chengzi could be said to have lost all his face. At the same time, he had also embarrassed Empyrean Yuanshi.
When Empyrean Yuanshi saw Guang Chengzi's reaction, he asked, "Guang Chengzi, tell me, what did you do wrong this time?" Although Yuanshi had always valued face, it was already embarrassing when Nüwa and River Styx attained Dao before them in Sanqing. However, compared to this time, it was not worth mentioning at all.
When Guang Chengzi heard this, he did not dare to raise his head. From Yuanshi's voice, he could already tell that Empyrean Yuanshi was a little angry. He could only say in a trembling voice, "This disciple should not have acted recklessly just because I am your disciple. This disciple should not have spoken rudely to Patriarch River Styx. This disciple will not dare to do it again."
Hearing Guang Chengzi's answer, Empyrean Yuanshi snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Is this your fault? Yes, you are wrong, but not here. Your fault lies in your weakness. If you had the same cultivation as Liu Er, so what if you spoke rudely? Liu Er has River Styx to support him, but you also have me to support you. "
Guang Chengzi was stunned when he heard this. Empyrean Yuanshi continued, "Has Liu Er ever been afraid of me? Although he is only a Quasi-saint, his Taoist Heart is firm. He also knows that River Styx will never ignore him. That is why he is not afraid of me. Guang Chengzi, although you have extraordinary talent, your Taoist Heart is much worse than Liu Er's. I have been too arrogant and indulgent towards you. "
After hearing this, Guang Chengzi was stunned and motionless. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. He kept muttering to himself, "Taoist Heart … Strength … Taoist Heart … Strength …" The aura around him was turbulent. If he was not careful, he would be in danger of Qigong Deviation.
Seeing this, Empyrean Yuanshi did not have any reaction. If Guang Chengzi could not completely let go of this matter, Liu Er would become a knot in his heart on the road of cultivation. Although Guang Chengzi had good talent, if he could not let go of this knot, his future achievements would be limited. However, once Guang Chengzi got over it, his Taoist Heart would be more stable and his future achievements would be limitless.
As time went by, Guang Chengzi was in a daze. Black Qi gathered on top of his head. It seemed that he was about to enter Qigong Deviation. Seeing this, Empyrean Yuanshi became anxious. After all, Guang Chengzi was his favorite disciple. He did not want Guang Chengzi to be wasted.
Suddenly, the black Qi above Guang Chengzi's head dissipated. The auspicious clouds unfolded and the Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man stood on the clouds like flower buds. Guang Chengzi's Qi Power suddenly erupted and the Three Flowers bloomed slightly. When the Three Flowers bloomed completely, it would be the day he stepped into Daluo Jinxian.
Seeing Guang Chengzi's change, Yuanshi smiled. Taiyi Golden Immortal, Guang Chengzi had finally broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. Among the three religions, Xuandu of the Ren Sect and Duobao of the Jie Sect had both reached this realm. Guang Chengzi had always been at the peak of Golden Immortal, which made Yuanshi, who cared about his reputation, feel jealous.
After Guang Chengzi broke through, he put away the auspicious clouds and bowed to Yuanshi, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. I understand now. I will take revenge for today's shame in the future." Once he understood the Tao, he saved many years of cultivation. Now that his Taoist Heart was stable, his future path would be smoother. It was a pity that he would never see this day.
Yuanshi nodded approvingly. Guang Chengzi did not disappoint him. He used to be arrogant because of his identity as a Sage's disciple. Now he understood that the Great Desolation was a world where strength spoke the loudest. Although some people would care about his identity as a Sage's disciple, there were also some people who did not care at all, such as Liu Er.
Yuanshi helped Guang Chengzi up and said, "Since you have understood, I have something for you to do. Daozu ordered me, your Uncle-Masters, and Uncle-Masters to preach the Tao to the Human Tribe. This is related to the fate of the Clan of Enlightenment. I want you to take your Junior Brothers down the mountain and preach the Tao of the Clan of Enlightenment."
Hearing this, Guang Chengzi said respectfully, "Yes, Teacher. I will take my Junior Brothers down the mountain in a few days. By the way, is Teacher Burning Lamp also going?" Burning Lamp had a special identity in the Clan of Enlightenment. He was the Deputy Hierarch of the Clan of Enlightenment and had a high cultivation. Guang Chengzi and other Golden Immortals often consulted him about cultivation. Therefore, it was not wrong to call him 'Teacher Burning Lamp'.
After hearing this, Yuanshi frowned, not because of Guang Chengzi's words, but because of Burning Lamp. After all, he and the Burning Lamp had listened to the Tao together in the Purple Cloud Palace. Although Burning Lamp wanted to worship him as his teacher, Yuanshi could not let it go. Therefore, he gave Burning Lamp the position of Deputy Hierarch of the Clan of Enlightenment so that he could help him teach his disciples.
Hearing Yuanshi's question, he said, "No need. Burning Lamp doesn't need to go to the Human Tribe. There must be someone on the mountain to manage the affairs of the Clan of Enlightenment. This time, when you go to the Human Tribe, you must not act recklessly. There are many experts in the Human Tribe. I don't want you to live under my protection forever. You are all elites of the Clan of Enlightenment and should be great rocs soaring in the Nine Heavens."
If it was before, Guang Chengzi might not have taken Yuanshi's words to heart. However, after this incident, Guang Chengzi had grown up. He replied respectfully, "Yes, Teacher." He was a member of the Human Tribe and naturally knew that there were countless experts in the Human Tribe. Especially in the Sacred Land of Inheritance of the Human Tribe, there were many who were stronger than him. Therefore, he did not dare to be arrogant.
Guang Chengzi led the other eleven Golden Immortals and many registered disciples down the mountain. As the Deputy Hierarch of the Clan of Enlightenment, Burning Lamp naturally knew. Looking in the direction of the Pure Jade Palace, Burning Lamp felt that it was unfair. He put down his pride and worshipped Yuanshi as his teacher wholeheartedly. However, Lord Yuanshi had not completely accepted him.
Burning Lamp originally thought that time would reveal a person's true nature. However, after a long time, he seemed to have become the manager of the Clan of Enlightenment and was responsible for all kinds of things. However, when there were really good things, he did not have a share. When Lord Yuanshi divided the treasures among the twelve Golden Immortals, Burning Lamp naturally coveted it. Unfortunately, Lord Yuanshi seemed to have completely forgotten about him. Now, although the preaching of the Clan of Enlightenment was difficult, it was related to fate after all, so he did not have a share. Burning Lamp naturally resented Yuanshi and felt that Lord Yuanshi was unfair.
At this moment, Burning Lamp began to doubt whether his decision to worship Lord Yuanshi as his teacher was correct. Although it was only a trace of doubt, it was like planting a seed in his heart. In the future, more and more unfairness and resentment would be poured on the seed like water. When the seed sprouted and grew, Burning Lamp and Lord Yuanshi would naturally be at odds with each other. When the seed bloomed and bore fruit, it would be the day when Burning Lamp would leave the Clan of Enlightenment.
