The entire Wilderness was busy because of the Three Pure Ones 'recruitment. Wang Zhen and Duo Bao, who were at the gate of East Kunlun, were not idle either.
There were countless cultivators in the Untainted Land. The Three Pure Ones had spoken for less than a day, and the cultivators who were close to them had already arrived at the entrance of East Kunlun before everyone else.
"Halt! This is a saint's dojo. You are not allowed to enter without permission!”As the eldest senior brother, Wang Zhen naturally had to step forward at this moment. He said to this cultivator who had come over rashly.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm here to take you as my master.”The first to arrive was a Heaven Immortal. Wang Zhen was already a Golden Immortal, so the person who came was very polite and told him why he was here.
"Dao Youhao!" Since the other party was so polite, Wang Zhen naturally wouldn't give him a hard time. He returned the bow and explained,"Fellow Daoist, Master and the two Uncle-Masters will take in disciples in three hundred years. It's not time yet. You can go back and wait, or you can wait again, but don't barge into East Kunlun.”
"Thank you so much!" The Heavenly Immortal cultivator expressed his gratitude for Wang Zhen's reminder. Then, he found a random place and sat on the ground to cultivate silently.
When the first cultivator arrived, more and more cultivators gathered here. However, as a saint's dojo, these cultivators did not dare to cause trouble. They sat cross-legged quietly and waited for the time to come.
"Senior Brother, how many of these people do you think can become my junior brothers?”At the mountain gate, Wang Zhen and Duo Bao sat on the ground, drinking spirit wine. Duo Bao couldn't help but ask.
"Less than thirty!" Wang Zhen swept his gaze over these enthusiastic cultivators. Although he didn't want to dampen their confidence, when he thought of the number of disciples the Three Pure Ones had each taken in, he said a little more.
Through the memories of the later generations, Wang Zhen knew that the Three Pure Ones had taken in the most disciples this time. The Heavenly Lord of the Origin had taken in twelve personal disciples and two in-name disciples, as well as a shameless guest of the Zixiao Palace, the Dipamkara Taoist.
As for Sect Master Tongtian, who was known as the Ten Thousand Immortals, he only had seven or eight disciples. As for the others, they only slowly increased after they settled in the East Sea. That was how the Ten Thousand Immortals came to pay their respects.
Wang Zhen's master only accepted Xuandu as his disciple. He was the one with the fewest disciples among the three. In the future, he would also have many in-name disciples, but Xuandu was the only true disciple.
"Ah! So little!" Hearing Wang Zhen's answer, Abundant Treasures was a little surprised. He could not help but exclaim, his words filled with disbelief.
Wang Zhen glanced at Abundant Treasures from the corner of his eyes and said unhappily,"Then how much do you think? A hundred or eight thousand? Do you think the title of disciple of a saint is so worthless?”At this point, Wang Zhen began to explain to Duo Bao.
"Master and the two Uncle-Masters are Saints. Furthermore, they are Dao Ancestor Hongjun's personal disciples. You and I are both Dao Ancestor's grand-disciples. Their status was extremely noble. Every disciple they took in needed to be considered in many ways. It was not just a matter of talent.”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhen could not help but think of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sermon in the Purple Cloud Palace. When he thought of Tongtian's non-discrimination in education and the enmity between the three religions in the future, he could not help but have a plan.
It was not that Jie School was bad, but the quality of the disciples was uneven. There were virtuous people and corrupt people.
Wang Zhen also believed that the Three Pure Ones would definitely hear what he and Abundant Treasures said, so he could not help but say it. It seemed like he was saying it to Abundant Treasures, but the deeper meaning was to sound the alarm to Tongtian.
Just as Wang Zhen had thought, their conversation was overheard by the Three Pure Ones.
"Junior Brother, I believe you have heard of Grandmaster's Three Lectures of the Purple Cloud Palace!”
When Duo Bao heard Wang Zhen's question, although he was very curious about what it meant, he still nodded and said,""I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it.”
"The grandmaster has the responsibility to educate all living beings after he became a saint. Therefore, he gave a lecture in the Purple Cloud Palace to bless the entire Untainted Land.”Speaking up to this point, Wang Zhen paused for a moment, then looked deeply at Abundant Treasures."However, the Untainted Land is so big that there are countless cultivators. How many of them can really enter the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao?”
In response to Wang Zhen's question, Abundant Treasures was at a loss. Wang Zhen didn't want to let Abundant Treasures answer, so he immediately raised three fingers and said,"3,000 people. No matter if it's the first, second, or third time, it's always 3,000 people, no more, no less!”
"The three lectures in the Purple Cloud Palace can be considered as the interval between each lecture. Even if we consider the time it takes to talk about it, it will still last for tens of thousands of years. The first lecture was to 3000 people, the second lecture was to 3000 people, and the third lecture was to 3000 people. Among them, many of the guests of the Purple Cloud Palace had died or fallen for various reasons, but each time, there were 3,000 of them.”
In the Hall of Three Pristines, the moment Wang Zhen said this, the Three Pure Ones looked at each other and saw the confusion and surprise in their eyes. In the past, the three of them had not paid attention to this matter. After all, they had not been idle enough to calculate this data because it was useless to them. However, now that it came out of Wang Zhen's mouth, they vaguely sensed that there was some secret behind it.
"3,000 is a good number. On one hand, it represents the 3,000 Great Daos, and on the other hand, it also represents the selection of the best. After preaching for three thousand years, how many disciples did Grandmaster take in? He had four direct disciples, namely Master, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Uncle Nuwa. He also had two in-name disciples, namely the two Saints of the Western Sect.”
"The guests of the Purple Cloud Palace are the cultivators with the most potential in the Untainted Land, but there are so many people, but only these six have become the disciples of the Grandmaster. The two Great Emperors of the Demon Tribe, Emperor Jun Taiyi, were both outstanding figures in Untainted Land. Was the Fuxi Grand Sage not qualified? Demon Master Kun Peng was not an ordinary person.”
"Our neighbor, the Queen Mother of the West of the West Kunlun Mountains! The leader of the male immortals, Dong Wang Gong, who had already fallen! Daoist Hongyun from Fire Cloud Cave! Great Immortal Zhen Yuan of Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain! Ancestor Netherworld River of the Netherworld Blood Sea! Which one of them wasn't a peerless talent? Each of them was a top-notch Great Divine Warrior in the Primordial World. But why wasn't the Grandmaster included under his name?”
Wang Zhen's series of rhetorical questions and comparisons made not only the little wimp, Abundant Treasure, dumbfounded, but even the Three Pure Ones of the Three Pristines Temple lowered their heads and began to ponder over this matter.
Senior Brother, why do you think so?" After Wang Zhen's rational analysis, Abundant Treasures had completely lost his ability to understand. He could only follow Wang Zhen's rhythm in a daze and ask why all of this was happening.
"Hey!" Wang Zhen heaved a long sigh and spread his hands."I don't know!"
"I don't know!" Duo Bao subconsciously replied, but he reacted in the next moment. He looked at his senior brother with a stunned expression and said in astonishment,"You don't know?"
Wang Zhen looked at Duo Bao's expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The words he had just said were already shocking enough. It would be inappropriate to continue. Moreover, he had already said what he needed to say. He believed that with the wisdom of the Three Pure Ones, they would understand after thinking about it for a while.
"That's right! The grandmaster did things in an unrestrained manner and did not stick to one pattern! If I could guess, I'm afraid that Grandmaster would have directly brought me to the Purple Cloud Palace to personally teach me.”
"Eh!" Abundant Treasures was a little unwilling to accept Wang Zhen's answer, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only outcome.
In the Hall of Three Pristines, Laozi and the other two were both angry and amused when they heard Wang Zhen's almost shameless answer. However, after laughing and laughing, they began to ponder the deeper meaning of their master's actions and slowly brought it to themselves.
"Hey!" After a long sigh from the back hall of the Primal Chaos Purple Cloud Palace, a low murmur with a hint of laughter sounded,"This kid is quite interesting. With this kid in our sect, I can rest assured in the future.”At this point, the voice rang in Haotian and Yaochi's ears again.
"Tong 'Er, when you went to the Wilderness, you personally gave this to that calf. At the same time, tell that little fellow to do whatever he wants. I'll take care of everything for him.”
As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, a square cauldron appeared in front of Haotian and Yaochi.
Haotian and Yaochi had followed the Ancestor for a long time, so they naturally recognized this item. After hearing the latter's instructions, they couldn't help but look at each other. They saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and then they accepted the order without hesitation.
"Yes, Master!"
