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

Chapter 94: New Identity, Second Generation Disciple of the Chan Sect!

Huanglong, the Perfected Being, had a flushed face, with veins bulging.

Master, this is too unfair!

Although Yangwu is from the Monster Emperor lineage, he is just a descendant, not like Land Pressure, the son of Emperor Jun.

It would have been more than enough for me to take him as my disciple.

Why does Master have to forcefully take my disciple?

The more Huanglong thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.

Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable seemed to not notice and continued, "Yangwu, are you willing to become my disciple?"

"Disciple is willing!"

Xia Yi quickly knelt down.

He had planned everything, killing Shen Gongbao, depriving him of his calamity aura, and then going to visit Lu Ya Daoist in Xikunlun, deliberately revealing his calamity aura, all for the purpose of joining the Chan Sect.

But he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, being accepted as a second-generation disciple by Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable.

"Good!"

Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable nodded and said, "I grant you the Water-Avoiding Golden Crystal Beast as your mount, and the Jade Void Lustrous Lamp!"

With a wave of his finger, a palace lamp flew out from beside the cloud bed.

Xia Yi held a peculiar ancient oil lamp in his hand, with a clear and translucent flame at the top, presenting a sky-blue color, without any impurities. He couldn't even feel any heat, but the flame was extremely pure and gentle, about the size of a bean.

It was the Jade Void Lustrous Lamp, one of the three lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Inside the lamp was a golden flame called the Ancient Lingering Flame.

Due to the numerous treasures of Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable, this lamp was not well-known, only used for illumination when discussing scriptures and teachings.

There was also the Earth Lamp, the Eight Scenic Palace Lamp.

Inside the lamp was a purple flame called the Dou Rate Divine Fire, which had infinite power, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas.

Similarly, it was only used for illumination when the Grand Supreme Elder was discussing scriptures and teachings.

As for the Human Lamp, it was said to be owned by the Burning Lamp Daoist, and it was his companion treasure.

Huanglong, the Perfected Being, saw that Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable had bestowed the Water-Avoiding Golden Crystal Beast and the Jade Void Lustrous Lamp, and felt even more that his master was biased.

When he joined the Jade Void Palace back then, he didn't receive anything.

Now, he only had his own self-refined life-bound immortal sword and a white crane as his mount. His situation was even more embarrassing than many third-generation disciples.

Seeing Huanglong, the Perfected Being, who was resentful and dissatisfied, Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable sighed slightly and said, "Huanglong, do you resent me for not giving you a Law Treasure all this time?"

"Disciple dare not!"

Huanglong, the Perfected Being, quickly knelt down.

"During the battle for supremacy among the three races, countless races perished, marking the beginning of the Dragon Han Tribulation. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races were also tainted with great sins. As the son of the Ancestral Dragon, you naturally have to bear the guilt. Until the Dragon Race redeems its sins, you will not be able to turn the tide. If I were to give you treasures and enhance your luck, it would instead cause a backlash from the Heavenly Dao. Do you understand?" Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable said.

Huanglong, the Perfected Being, trembled. He had never thought about this before.

Back then, there were countless descendants of the Ancestral Dragon, and he was just one of them.

After surviving the war among the three races, he was fortunate enough to become a disciple of Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable.

He had always thought that he was not an Innate Divine, so Master had always looked down on him as a "wet-born egg hatching" individual.

But he never expected that there was another hidden reason!

He knelt on the ground and choked, "Disciple is ignorant and has never understood Master's hardships!"

"Very well, since the Calamity of Measurement has arrived and the Heavenly Dao is in chaos, I will temporarily give you the Taiji Talisman Seal!" Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable waved his hand, and a palm-sized Taiji Talisman Seal flew out.

Huanglong, the Perfected Being, was overjoyed. This Taiji Talisman Seal was refined by Yuan Shi Heavenly Venerable at the cost of one yuan of time, and its power was no less than some High Grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

This treasure can protect the body and is invulnerable to all methods.

"Thank you, Master!"

Huang Long, the Perfected Being, knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

"Good!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuan Shi nodded and said, "You may leave for now. I have something to discuss with Yang Wu."

"Yes!"

Huang Long, the Perfected Being, quickly retreated respectfully.

In the Jade Void Hall, only Xia Yi and Yuan Shi, the Saint, remained on the cloud bed.

There was a moment of silence. Yuan Shi, the Saint, closed his eyes slightly, seemingly entering a state of meditation.

Xia Yi remained kneeling on the ground, feeling the majesty of the Saint permeating the entire palace.

After an unknown amount of time, Heavenly Venerable Yuan Shi finally spoke, "Do you know why I took you as my disciple?"

"I don't know!" Xia Yi replied.

"The calamitous aura in your Primordial Spirit is so strong, almost merging with your Three Souls and Seven Spirits, yet you have never experienced a calamity. Instead, your luck is abundant, forming a calamity fortune. This shows that you are truly the one who should face calamities!" Yuan Shi, the Heavenly Venerable, said.

"The one who should face calamities..." Xia Yi pretended to be ignorant.

"Back then, in the Purple Cloud Palace, Dao Ancestor mentioned that the Heavenly Court was weak, which was unfavorable for the operation of the Heavenly Dao and the evolution of the Primordial Era. Moreover, the Twelve Golden Immortals committed killings during the Battle for Supremacy. Until now, no one has achieved the Three Corpse Severing and become a quasi-Saint, which triggered the Cataclysm of the Gods."

"Below the quasi-Saint level, those with deep roots can safely pass through the calamity and enjoy a certain amount of freedom from it. Those with average roots can be listed on the Conferred Divinity List and serve in the Heavenly Court. Those with shallow roots will die and be reincarnated, or even lose their divine abilities."

"Although many saints have signed up numerous disciples, there are still many vacancies on the Conferred Divinity List."

"The disciples of my Chan Sect have excellent aptitude and potential, and they should be on the list. On the other hand, the disciples of the Jie Sect are a mixed bag, with some even practicing the demonic path of the Asura Demon Dao!"

At this point, Yuan Shi, the Heavenly Venerable, snorted, seemingly disapproving of the teaching philosophy of the Heavenly Master of the Jie Sect.

In my Chan Sect, only outstanding talents and beautiful jade can be accepted as disciples, even the third generation disciples are strictly selected.

As for my third brother, Tong Tian, he treats his disciples like pets. Most of them are from the Monster Race, including dragons, tigers, leopards, fish, and birds, making the Golden Turtle Island full of chaos and monstrous qi.

This Cataclysm of the Gods is also an opportunity for the Jie Sect to eliminate most of the rubbish, start anew, and rejuvenate.

Unfortunately, my third brother lacks such courage and cannot get rid of the rot on his own.

So, it falls to me, as his older brother, to do it for him.

He continued, "As the one who should face calamities, you should obey the will of heaven and cultivate during the calamity. Send those with shallow roots and weak foundations from the Jie Sect to the Conferred Divinity List, to fill the gaps in the Heavenly Dao and follow the trend of humanity. After the matter is done, I may even consider taking you as my direct disciple!"

Faced with the grand promises made by Yuan Shi, Xia Yi could only choose to accept them and knelt down, saying, "Disciple will definitely eliminate the scum of the three sects and no longer betray the teachings of Master!"

"Good!"

Yuan Shi, the Heavenly Venerable, nodded in satisfaction. This Yang Wu, after all, had the bloodline of the Golden Crow, and his aptitude and potential were much stronger than Shen Gong Bao's, and he understood things with just a hint.

After observing him for another million years, when he achieved the Taiyi Dao, he might really consider taking him as a true disciple, ranking him thirteenth on the Golden Immortal list of the Jade Void.

Xia Yi walked out of the Jade Void Palace, and not long after, a young white crane boy led a strange beast that looked like a qilin, with a dragon's mouth, a lion's head, fish scales, a cow's tail, tiger claws, and deer antlers, all in a reddish color.

"Master Uncle, this Blue Water Golden Clear Beast contains a trace of the bloodline of the Primordial Qilin. It is a first-class Spirit Beast in the world. Senior Cihang has requested it many times, but Master has never granted it!" The young white crane boy said with a smile.

"Master's kindness, disciple is grateful beyond words!"

Xia Yi bowed again towards the depths of the Jade Void Palace.

In his heart, he thought that his Master had given him this mount to quickly involve the immortals of the Jie Sect. But it didn't deviate from his original goal.

After all, he needed to cause chaos during the Cataclysm of the Gods.

So, he mounted the Blue Water Golden Clear Beast, lightly tapped it, and flew far away.
