"I have no particularly good magic treasures, so I will bestow upon you some pills." With that, Laozi took out a gourd of pills, containing eight pills—Nine-Turn Golden Pills! It was no easy feat for Laozi to refine them. Each pill could increase one Yuan Hui of magical power and stabilize one's Dao foundation. Since the beginning of time, Laozi had refined fewer than thirty Nine-Turn Golden Pills. This was a huge investment.
Xuan Tian knew the effects of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill and inwardly admired Laozi for his willingness to spend so much. He feared that Laozi would have a hard time in the future and that Laozi was now targeting him.
While Laozi was heartbroken, Huixin and the other two were unimpressed. They had heard Xuantian talk about the effects of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, but their Penglai Island was not lacking in such things. The fruit from the withered tree root could enhance magical power, and its effect was even better than the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was ultimately a man-made product, while the withered tree fruit was a pure natural green food. No matter how much they ate, as long as their cultivation level could accommodate it (the reason why the two of them were able to become Quasi-Saints in such a short time was due to the help of the withered tree fruit, of course, partly due to the cultivation technique), it was no different. Oh well, they could eat it like candy.
The three turned around and continued their robbery. Yuanshi Tianzun gave them a hairpin, an innate magic treasure with twenty-seven layers of restrictions. Tongtian gave them a rope, also an innate magic treasure with twenty-eight layers of restrictions. The two from the West gave them a lotus seed, cultivated from a twelve-petaled golden lotus. Nuwa was the most ruthless, because she didn't bring much, but she gave them the best, giving them the innate spiritual treasure, the red embroidered ball.
After the three of them finished getting their things, they returned to Xuan Tian's side. Seeing that the things the others had given them weren't very good, they didn't really care.
Xuan Tian pursed his lips. The others were too stingy and didn't have anything good. But it was still good that he could rob them.
"Junior brothers and sisters, you're too kind. My disciples should also focus on their cultivation. I haven't paid attention before, so from now on I'll send them back to seclusion and leave human affairs alone." Xuan Tian had accepted their gifts, so he had to give them something in return.
Everyone exclaimed, "Excellent!"
It's a pity, how come they didn't realize Xuan Tian's linguistic trap? They were probably too angry to understand what he meant by "don't worry about it now, we'll deal with it later."
Not to mention that the sages were afraid that Xuan Tian would monopolize the teachings and merits of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so they set up this Daoist debate to make Xuan Tian relinquish them. Now that he has relinquished them, it's time to divide the spoils.
The two from the Western Sect had also given gifts, so this couldn't just end there. Zhunti quickly spoke up, saying, "The disciples of my Western Sect are of high moral character and are fit to educate and enlighten the human race."
Laozi said, "My two fellow Daoists from the West are mistaken. Educating and enlightening the human race is a matter for the East, so there's no need to trouble you two." Yuanshi Tongtian quickly added as well.
Zhunti was about to argue when Jieyin pulled him back, saying, "Junior brother, please don't argue anymore. We'll discuss this matter later."
Zhunti, who always obeyed Jieyin, naturally agreed and said to the assembled saints, "Good."
"My disciples are all of profound virtue and exceptional talent, capable of serving as teachers to the Five Emperors." The two Westerners were put aside, and Yuanshi spoke first, damn it, he took them all in one go.
Tongtian won't do it. You can do it if you want one or two, but if you take them all at once, I'm afraid it won't work.
"Profound morality? What morality do your disciples possess? Apart from Guang Chengzi, who served as the teacher of the Human Emperor, have any of the others ever performed any acts of moral instruction?" Tongtian said. "Even the Human Emperor Xuanyuan failed to teach them properly."
"My disciples are blessed with great fortune and possess profound cultivation; they are capable of educating and enlightening the human race," Tongtian continued.
Before Yuanshi could speak, Guangchengzi jumped out and said, "Many of my uncle's disciples have attained the Dao through the feathers and scales of Kun. Even if their cultivation is profound, they are not suitable for teaching the human race." It was because Guangchengzi had heard Tongtian say that he was not good enough, and he was not convinced.
Although Yuanshi was annoyed by Guangchengzi's ignorance, he also disliked the idea of reaching the heavens, so he nodded in agreement, saying, "To cultivate only magical power without accumulating merit is to fall into a lower path and will ultimately prevent one from attaining the Great Dao."
When Tongtian saw Guangchengzi speak like this, and Yuanshi agreed with his point of view, he was furious. "How dare you, a mere disciple, say such things? You don't respect me at all!"
"Disregarding seniority and hierarchy, your disciples certainly have a lot of 'morality'," Tongtian said in a sarcastic tone.
The other sages secretly watched the spectacle, and the disciples of Tongtian were also extremely annoyed with Guang Chengzi. Originally, the cultivation of demons was not as good as that of humans. They often cultivated for thousands of years before they could take human form, and many demons could not stand others talking about their shortcomings.
Others might be more considerate, but Bixiao wouldn't. She's always had a spoiled princess temperament, and Tongtian has always pampered her, which has spoiled her. When she heard Yuanshi say that demons who have attained enlightenment are not good, she was unconvinced and said, "Second Uncle's disciples aren't much either. It seems that only the 'Twelve Golden Immortals' are famous throughout the prehistoric world." Bixiao said this in a strange way.
The name of the "Twelve Golden Immortals" of the Chan Sect is widely known in the prehistoric world. Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Although Chi You was a great shaman, he was born into the human race, so not many people knew that Chi You was a great shaman. The fact that the twelve of them couldn't defeat Chi You alone has been a long-standing legend.
Guang Chengzi was furious. This was his shameful affair, and Yuanshi had punished him for it. Now that Bixiao had brought it up, he was enraged: "How dare this lowly servant insult my sect!"
Qiongxiao couldn't stand it anymore. Bixiao was her own younger sister, and even their teacher had never scolded her like that. What business was it of Guangchengzi's of his? She immediately retorted, "You shameless woman, how dare you insult my junior sister!"
Xuan Tian was secretly pleased. Well, it all matched up.
Tongtian was also very dissatisfied with Guangchengzi, and seeing Guangchengzi scold his most beloved disciple only increased his dissatisfaction. He said, "As expected, my senior brother's disciples are all uncouth people, unfit for great responsibilities."
Lao Tzu frowned but didn't say anything. Anyway, he only had one disciple, so he couldn't be bothered to say anything.
Yuanshi was also very dissatisfied with Tongtian's actions, and even more so with Bixiao and Qiongxiao. However, since Guangchengzi was in the wrong first, and he didn't want to lose face, he simply said, "In that case, let them have a match."
