If the Sage really wasn't taking in disciples, then the culprit behind all of this was definitely the Kun Peng.
It must be because he rejected the Saint, causing the Saint to be angry. Although he didn't know why the Saint didn't punish him, because of this, he gave up on the idea of taking in more disciples.
"This Kun Peng is really despicable. He doesn't want to become a Saint's disciple, but he actually caused us to be unable to become a Saint's disciple.”
Thinking of this, they hated Kunpeng even more, especially Emperor Jun and Taiyi. They were already very dissatisfied with Kunpeng sitting on the futon, and now Kunpeng had denied them the chance to become the Sage's disciple, which made them even more so.
They were about to establish a faction. If they could become the disciples of a Saint at this time, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Whether it was the stability of their faction or the recruitment of experts, it would be of great help.
But now, this great opportunity had been destroyed because of the Kun Peng's rejection, turning everything into a bubble. (Although they didn't know if the Sage would accept them as his disciples, they just thought so.)
Just as Kunpeng closed his eyes to rest and everyone was thinking about different things, a cry suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. This made everyone slightly stunned, and they all looked in a certain direction. That place was where the sixth futon, Zhunti, was.
"Saint, the western creatures are suffering. Not only are we poor, but there are no western creatures under the Saint's tutelage. Please have mercy!”
Hearing this and seeing Zhunti's tearful face, all the living beings were speechless. This was not the first time they had seen Zhunti like this.
However, this time, there was no disdain in their eyes. Instead, they were full of praise for him to stand up bravely again.
"I wonder if Cundi will succeed again this time!”
At this moment, the thoughts in all living beings 'minds were filled with anticipation.
Although he was very disdainful of this fellow's shameless behavior, all living beings had to admit that he still had some tricks up his sleeve.
They found that every time Zhunti cried for a while, he would succeed. It was the same for the first time, and the second time, for the Spiritual Treasure. That was why they showed such expressions when Zhunti cried again.
On the fifth futon, Kunpeng slowly opened his eyes and turned to Zhunti. He looked thoughtful. Then he turned to look at Sage Hongjun, who was closing his eyes. He wondered if the plot would change because he didn't want to do it.
Kunpeng remembered that if the plot did not change, his seat would be Jieyin's. When the Sage accepted disciples, besides the Three Pure Ones and Goddess Nvywa, Jieyin and Zhunti, who sat at the last two seats, would also become the in-name disciples of Sage Hongjun.
Now that he had not given up his seat, he wondered if Zhunti and Jieyin would still become Sage Hongjun's in-name disciples.
At this moment, not only was Kunpeng looking at Saint Hongjun, but the other living beings, as well as the Three Pure Ones who had already become disciples of the Saint, were also looking at Saint Hongjun. They wanted to know what Saint Hongjun would do.
In the Zixiao Palace, under everyone's gaze, Hongjun finally opened his indifferent eyes after a long time. He looked at the crowd, paused for a moment, and then fixed his eyes on Zhunti, who was grieving.
Seeing this scene, whether it was the crying Zhunti or the other creatures who were watching, they all widened their eyes and pricked up their ears. Then, they held their breaths and stared at Sage Hongjun, not daring to make a sound, waiting for him to speak.
Saint Hongjun did not make everyone wait for long. After a moment, he opened his mouth and spoke in a mighty voice that echoed in everyone's sea of consciousness.
"You are not fated with me, but before I became a Saint, I owed the west karma, and now I have to repay it.”
At this point, Hongjun paused and glanced indifferently at Zhunti and Jieyin for a moment. Then he said,""Zhunti, I will take you as my disciple in name. Are you willing?”
As soon as Sage Hongjun said this, Zhunti suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted before anyone else could react.
"Disciple Zhunti greets teacher!"
Hearing this, Hongjun nodded slightly. Then, he turned his gaze and glanced at the bodies of all the living beings in the Zixiao Palace. He said indifferently,"None of you are fated to be my master and disciple!”
All the living beings below were very happy when they saw that Sage Hongjun had accepted Zhunti as an in-name disciple. They thought that the Sage would continue to accept disciples, especially when they saw the Sage glancing at them.
For this reason, they held their heads high and looked at Sage Hongjun expectantly, hoping that they could become disciples of Sages like the Three Pure Ones and Goddess Nvywa. Even if they couldn't, it would be good to become honorary disciples like Zhunti. After all, they were under the name of Sages, right?
