I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 93: Yuanshi Accepts Disciples

Mount Kunlun is the ancestral vein of the Earth Immortal realm, with a spiritual energy so abundant that even the Heavenly Court pales in comparison.

Countless immortals reside here, including some mighty beings from the Primordial Era.

Due to its vastness, it is divided into East Kunlun and West Kunlun, with the central Jade Void Palace as the boundary.

Daoist Luya resides in West Kunlun.

A valley with a radius of thousands of miles, like a black hole, constantly devouring the surrounding Innate spiritual energy.

In the middle stands a towering divine tree, thousands of feet tall, without leaves but countless flames blooming within, like blossoming flowers.

At the very top, there is a giant bird's nest made of firewood, unaffected by the blazing sun's true fire.

"This should be a branch of the legendary Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Root, the Fusang Tree," Xia Yi exclaimed in his heart.

He had previously discovered an immortal tree in the ruins of the Yao Court, which was a damaged petal of the Chaos Azure Lotus. It was later obtained by the distant Ancient Beast, Sheng Qin Yuan, and nurtured with the milk of the earth.

However, due to insufficient merit points from salary distribution, there had been no surplus merit to cultivate it.

After becoming the Grand Teacher of the Great Shang Dynasty, he had refined all his merit into his Primordial Spirit, transforming it into Merit Primordial Spirit.

"When the calamity of the God-Sealing Tribulation is about to end, I can infuse the merit in my Primordial Spirit into the immortal tree. It will surely surpass the Fusang Tree before my eyes," Xia Yi pondered in his heart.

There seemed to be no trace of Luya in the Fusang Tree.

Inside the bird's nest, there was a yellow gourd and a scroll of Daoist scripture.

"The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!" Xia Yi's heart raced.

He also had one, but it was a shoddy version compared to the one before him, lacking any Law Manifestation.

Nevertheless, he had still managed to kill the founder of the Qixia Sect, Chongxu Daoist.

Three days later, a rainbow light pierced through the heavens and earth, landing outside the valley, revealing the figure of a Daoist—it was Luya.

"Greetings, Ancestor!" Xia Yi's Golden Crow incarnation immediately bowed respectfully.

Luya said, "Your Golden Crow bloodline is quite strong. It seems you have been diligent these years."

"I must also thank Ancestor for bestowing the method. Otherwise, Yangwu would still be ignorant and unable to activate its own bloodline!" Xia Yi spoke up.

Yangwu was the name of his Golden Crow incarnation, representing the meaning of the sun's Golden Crow.

Luya's eyes blazed, and he asked, "I sense a calamitous aura in your body. What is the reason for this?"

"Ancestor, many years ago, I accidentally obtained a black crow feather and gained some understanding of calamities," Xia Yi replied.

With that, Xia Yi took out a black feather over two feet long, surrounded by strands of black qi.

"That old undying feather?" Luya was shocked.

He was born shortly before the ancient calamity star roamed the Primordial Era.

So he had also witnessed the terrifying might of the Heavenly Demon.

Even his father and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi were unwilling to provoke this calamity star too much.

It wasn't because they couldn't defeat it, but because the calamity star's mastery of calamities was extraordinary. If they were to be affected by any calamity as a result, it would be disastrous.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor's position itself contained immense karma.

Later, this old undying provoked the war between the witches and demons, directly angering both clans.

Countless demon gods and great witches joined forces to kill him, annihilating his divine form.

"The path of calamities is indeed formidable, but if one is not careful, they may fall victim to calamities. How did you cultivate such a sinister technique?" Luya frowned.

"At that time, I didn't know it was the inheritance of the ancient calamity star. As I continued to cultivate, I found that I couldn't turn back!" Xia Yi sighed bitterly.

After pondering for a while, Luya said, "Even I am struggling to protect myself now, needing to complete the killing tribulation within the God-Sealing Tribulation. As for the current plan, you should join the Jade Void Sect and rely on the teachings of the Dao to suppress your calamities. Only then can you walk the righteous path and avoid being devoured by calamities, becoming a sacrifice to a great calamity."

"Thank you, Senior Ancestor!" Xia Yi bowed once again.

Daoist Lu Ya was decisive in his actions, but he was still quite good to his "junior" Xia Yi.

"I have a close relationship with Spirit Treasure Grandmaster and Huanglong Perfected Being. Let's see if I can arrange for you to become a disciple of the San Dai of the Chan Sect!" Daoist Lu Ya said, taking Xia Yi's Golden Crow incarnation and heading towards the main vein of Kunlun Mountain.

The first person they sought was Spirit Treasure Grandmaster.

Spirit Treasure Grandmaster was one of the first Heavenly Human Race, with excellent comprehension, aptitude, and magical powers.

In the Conferred God battle, he was known as the "Three Non-Immortals" because he had no specific Law Treasure, no mount, and no disciples.

After some pleasantries, Daoist Lu Ya explained his intentions and wanted Spirit Treasure Grandmaster to accept Xia Yi as his disciple.

Spirit Treasure Grandmaster hesitated and said, "Brother Daoist, I am one of the first Heavenly Human Race. I have previously made a vow to support and promote the teachings of the Human Race, so I must take in a human disciple. I hope you understand."

"Brother Daoist, I was indeed too presumptuous!"

Daoist Lu Ya nodded, not showing much anger.

Spirit Treasure Grandmaster was very low-key among the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. He only made a move once in the ancient battle for supremacy, killing several great witches under Chi You's command.

Moreover, he was also one of the first Heavenly Human Race, so it was not easy for him to accept a disciple from the Monster Race.

They headed to the Ma Gu Cave in the Dao Field of the Yellow Dragon Perfected Being.

This Yellow Dragon Perfected Being was even inferior to Spirit Treasure Grandmaster. He always lost in battles, had no achievements, no magical powers, no Law Treasure, no disciples, and no intelligence. He was known as the "Five Non-Immortals."

But he was, after all, the direct disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and had a great reputation in the Three Realms.

After explaining their intentions, the Yellow Dragon Perfected Being thought to himself: "As a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon, I have the inherent karma of the Dragon Race. That's why the Master has never liked me. It was only because of my sincere heart that I was accepted into the Jade Void Sect. Until now, I have not received any treasures. Now that a great calamity is about to come, it would be good to take in a disciple to resist the disaster."

He then said, "Since you are a descendant of Brother Daoist and the Monster Emperor lineage, and I am also a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon, it can be considered a fate. Very well, I will accept this disciple!"

"Thank you, Brother Daoist!" Daoist Lu Ya was overjoyed.

Now that the Shang Dynasty was about to fall and the Western Qi Dynasty was rising, it was expected that the Chan Sect would flourish again.

Although the Yellow Dragon Perfected Being was weak, he was also the direct disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Once Yang Wu became his disciple, he would be the third generation disciple of the Jade Void Palace and would also enjoy the luck of the Chan Sect, so he would not be harmed by the disaster.

Xia Yi was about to kneel and pay his respects, but the Yellow Dragon Perfected Being stopped him and said, "If you want to become a third generation disciple of the Chan Sect, you need to meet the Master in the Jade Void Palace. After the Master agrees, you can officially become my disciple by stepping on the Jade Void Law Disc."

The Chan Sect emphasized hierarchy. If a disciple wanted to take in a disciple, they needed the approval of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Unlike the Jie Sect, which had a very loose policy on accepting disciples, the Heavenly Lord of the Tongtian Sect did not restrict the disciples from taking in disciples.

Therefore, the disciples of the Jie Sect were not just ten thousand immortals, but represented a large number.

The Youquan Old Ancestor of the Mangdang Mountain Seven Kill Demon Palace was also a disciple of the Jie Sect, which can be seen from this.

Afterwards, the Yellow Dragon Perfected Being took Xia Yi to the Jade Void Palace.

After the White Crane Boy went in to inform, the two of them cautiously entered.

"Pay respects to the Master!"

The Yellow Dragon Perfected Being knelt down.

"Huanglong, a great calamity is about to come. Why are you not cultivating in your Cave Mansion? Why did you come to the Jade Void Palace?" Primordial Heavenly Venerable said.

"Honored Master, your disciple has been cultivating for tens of thousands of years and has yet to take in a disciple. Now, there is Yang Wu, a descendant of the Monster Emperor lineage, with excellent aptitude and talent. I wish to take him as my disciple and promote the teachings of the Chan Sect. I hope Master will grant me this favor," Huanglong Perfected Being said.

Primordial Heavenly Venerable looked at Xia Yi and found that his Primordial Spirit was enveloped in strands of disaster qi, surpassing even Shen Gongbao's innate disaster star.

"Could it be that he is the one destined to face calamity?"

Primordial Heavenly Venerable wanted to deduce the heavenly secrets, but the heavenly secrets were chaotic and he couldn't figure anything out.

"If he is truly the one destined to face calamity, what can he achieve by becoming my third generation disciple? Moreover, he is a disciple of the Yellow Dragon, making it even more impossible to influence the overall situation of the world."

He then said, "Since Yang Wu is a descendant of the Monster Emperor lineage, and you are a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon, if you take him as your disciple, people will laugh at our Chan Sect for not valuing moral principles and oppressing the ancient Beast Clan. Nuwa Saint will also have objections!"

"This..."

Huanglong Perfected Being was momentarily at a loss and didn't know how to respond.

"In that case, I will accept Yang Wu as an outer disciple!" Primordial Heavenly Venerable said.
