Chapter 312 Karmic Obstacles
“Disciple obeys,” Guang Chengzi said, leading his fellow disciples in a respectful bow to Yuanshi Tianzun. “Please do not worry about your unworthy disciples, Master. Your unfilial disciple bids farewell.”
"Go, your master will be waiting for your good news in Kunlun Mountain." Yuanshi looked into the void. Guangchengzi was sincere, but unfortunately, he was not only rigid and strict, but also arrogant. Too much rigidity makes one prone to breaking, which made him difficult to deal with.
It's a pity that the formation Chang Hao sent is useless; even after training, these few haven't made much progress.
Guang Chengzi and the others looked troubled. "Disciples will do everything in our power and spare no expense to help Xuanyuan defeat Chiyou and seize the throne of the Human Emperor."
Guang Chengzi and the others dared not guarantee Yuanshi that they would succeed in helping Xuanyuan seize the Human Emperor title, as they were not very confident.
Yuanshi frowned deeply, "Useless! Xuanyuan is your father and mother! Why do you need to go to such lengths?"
Guang Chengzi and the others looked at each other, wondering if they had made a mistake again. But this was what Master had told them to do. How could they have made a mistake again?
"Whether Xuanyuan can obtain the throne of the Human Emperor is secondary. What is important is that you all need to accumulate merits while helping Xuanyuan seize the throne. The struggle for the Human Emperor is your chance to turn your lives around, but it is also a tremendous challenge. Remember, do not commit unnecessary killings."
Disciples are also a debt. Yuanshi deeply realized this. If these few good-for-nothings cannot offset the calamity of killing with merit, they will surely suffer a fatal disaster.
When the time comes, it will be him who has to find a solution.
Guang Chengzi suddenly thought of his senior brother Xuandu. When Xuandu helped Fuxi, he was summoned back. Could it be...?
"Master, before I go down the mountain, I would like to visit Senior Brother Xuandu," Guang Chengzi asked boldly, not knowing whether his master would allow it.
“Alright.” Yuanshi agreed, knowing to seek help from his master and elders, at least he still had some sense and wasn’t completely stupid.
Yuanshi sighed, annoyed by his disciples who were about to become worthless, and pulled Yun Zhongzi out of the pit.
"Yun Zhongzi, do you know your mistake?" Yuanshi was well-versed in the art of observing qi. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Yun Zhongzi, after changing his name and becoming his disciple, was blessed with great fortune and long-lasting luck.
Is it really true that fools are blessed with good fortune?
Yuanshi was already mentally prepared for the fate of Guangchengzi and others who failed in the struggle for the Human Emperor. Having had such a disastrous experience in taking on disciples, he had long since given up the idea of taking on disciples.
Therefore, even if one dislikes Yun Zhongzi, for the sake of the Chan Sect, one must still teach him what needs to be taught.
"Master, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so outspoken and said whatever came to mind. I didn't respect you at all." Yun Zhongzi admitted his mistake very quickly. But to his dismay, the bottom of the cave was filled with lightning, which made him feel excruciating pain, as if he were dying.
"Even if Master was struck by lightning, he is still my Master. I shouldn't have spoken so recklessly." Yun Zhongzi was very puzzled and incredulous that he was still alive.
"Alright, from now on, you just need to keep your mouth shut in front of your master." Yuanshi was so annoyed that saying "I admit my mistake" was enough; anything more would be superfluous.
"Yes." Yun Zhongzi slapped his mouth, deciding to pretend he didn't have a tongue next time he was in front of his master.
"This is the Jade Purity Heart Sutra of our sect. Anyone who enters my sect must study the Jade Purity Heart Sutra." Yuanshi knew that without him giving this mental cultivation method, no one would dare to teach it to Yun Zhongzi without his permission.
Yun Zhongzi accepted the Jade Purity Heart Sutra with both hands, opened his mouth as if to say something inspiring, but found that his mouth was open but no sound came out.
Yun Zhongzi broke out in a cold sweat, thinking he had contracted a sudden illness.
Yuanshi naturally noticed Yun Zhongzi's embarrassment. "Alright, go down. You're fine. As long as you're not in front of your master, you don't need to be silenced."
The words of a sage become law, and Yun Zhongzi, whose cultivation is still shallow, is unable to resist them.
Yun Zhongzi was half-believing and half-doubting. After leaving Yuxu Palace, he tentatively opened his mouth and found that he was really alright.
On second thought, Yun Zhongzi's shoulders slumped, and he turned to look at Yuxu Palace. It must be his master's doing.
“Brother,” Yuanshi said, his face full of guilt and shame, “I will definitely find a way to make amends for what happened in Donghua.”
"No need. This is Donghua's own doing, and he has no one to blame but himself." Laozi understood that with Donghua's almost nonexistent fortune, he would have died long ago if he hadn't been protected by him.
Hongyun changed his name and his fortune. Now, Yun Zhongzi is blessed with great fortune and long-lasting luck. If you didn't know, who would believe that Hongyun was the predecessor of Yun Zhongzi?
With this successful case, Lao Tzu was truly tempted. "I've made up my mind. Once Donghua's soul has been properly nurtured, I will send him to be reborn as a human to start his cultivation again, so that the name Donghua will become a thing of the past."
Although he could beg Chang Hao to put Donghua on the Investiture of the Gods list, which would be considered saving Donghua's life.
However, this is the second time Donghua has been saved. Last time, the Queen Mother of the West went to great lengths and used countless methods, wasting many years, before finally saving Donghua.
Having exhausted all available methods, the chance of finding a matching innate being who has not yet developed consciousness is extremely slim, and Donghua has already abandoned any shortcuts he could take.
If the primordial spirit is listed, Donghua will only be able to walk the path of gods in this life, and everything will be subject to faith. Laozi is unwilling to let the master-disciple relationship end here, so this is the only way.
"That's fine too." Yuanshi also thought of Donghua's low fortune. Every cloud has a silver lining. Perhaps, for Donghua, this is nothing short of a rebirth.
Yuanshi was in a bad mood and desperately wanted to see Chang Hao. He remembered that his little ancestor had said that it was bad to be in broad daylight, and besides, his little ancestor was probably dealing with the remnants of the Wu tribe at the moment. Yuanshi suppressed his urge to see his beloved and patiently waited until the bright moon hung high in the sky...
………………
In the Heavenly Court, in the Lingxiao Palace, Bai Ze Yaochi subtly exchanged a glance with Chang Hao.
Xing Tian still looked arrogant and defiant, his whole body radiating defiance.
Bai Ze smiled and slowly said, "Xing Tian, you led the remnants of the Wu tribe to help Chi You seize the throne, and your Wu tribe..."
"You despicable, shameless, and utterly shameless villains who only know how to use underhanded tricks, what do you want to do to Chi You?" Xing Tian was completely devoid of composure. His tiger-like eyes glared at him like those of a traitor. "It has nothing to do with Chi You. Chi You has already been reincarnated. He is now a human. He knows nothing."
Okay, Chi You's predecessor was a member of the Wu tribe, a Wu tribe with a primordial spirit, and his identity was special enough.
If Chi You succeeds, the Wu tribe, if not completely overthrowing the human race, will at least seize a portion of the human race's fortune. Coincidentally, Chang Hao knows such a special person.
"If you want to kill me, then kill me. What are you babbling about?" Xing Tian tried his best to break free of the ropes, but unfortunately, these ropes were specially made and could even bind a peak Quasi-Saint. How could Xing Tian possibly break free with his physical strength?
Yaochi lowered her eyes and glanced at the message sent by her senior brother. "If it weren't for your involvement, the outcome of Crown Prince Changqin and Xuanyuan's success or failure would still be fifty-fifty. It's a pity that you are useless and have wasted everything that Lady Houtu had painstakingly planned."
