Chapter 104 Paying Respects
It was this tiny, almost imperceptible hope, one that even they dared not be certain of, that came true at the last moment!
Guang Chengzi actually accomplished a miracle that was impossible to happen after the end of the ancient era and that no one would try to replicate!
He skipped the pursuit of the Taiyi realm and directly broke through from the Immortal realm to the Daluo realm, ascending to the heavens in one step and surpassing countless people. And this almost unbelievable thing was actually accomplished by him!
After watching Guang Chengzi step out of Yuxu Palace with an undisguised aura of a Great Luo, the two women could no longer hide their shock, which could even be described as horror.
Even though their origins are all extraordinary, the Holy Mother of Wudang was the first ape in the world, possessing the destiny from heaven and earth, and having a direct connection with the Great God Pangu, making her a descendant of Pangu.
But even when faced with this miracle, the horror in the heart of the Virgin Mary never diminished in the slightest.
But after their initial shock, the two quickly became happy.
They never had any conflict with Guang Chengzi. On the contrary, they had a pretty good relationship. At least, when Wudang Shengmu and Guang Chengzi first met, they drank and chatted happily, and their conversation was quite pleasant.
Golden Spirit Mother didn't have any ill will towards Guang Chengzi, and even had some goodwill towards him. Otherwise, even if she was dissatisfied with Duobao's attitude, she wouldn't have followed Wudang Mother to Yuqing Peak to cultivate. Wouldn't it have been better to go to Taiqing Peak instead?
After all, Lao Tzu was the most virtuous of the Three Pure Ones, and he didn't pay much attention to outside affairs. Back then, many disciples of the Shangqing Sect treated Taiqing Peak like a bulwark, ransacking it from top to bottom, but Lao Tzu didn't care. This shows how gentle his mind was.
If such rumors were to originate from Yuqing Peak, even if they were a thousand times more tempting, and even if the disciples of Shangqing had a thousand times more courage, they would not dare to rummage through Yuqing Peak like this.
The rules of Yuanshi Tianzun are never lenient. If these disciples dare to rummage around in Yuqing Peak, Yuanshi Tianzun will dare to stuff them into the ground as ginseng seeds. Even Tongtian won't say anything.
He's courting death by acting recklessly on Yuqing Peak. Even he wouldn't dare to do that, since Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't stuff Tongtian into the ground like a ginseng root. But he can't escape a lecture.
So, upon confirming the news, the two female immortals immediately led three thousand virtuous immortals to Biyou Palace to pay their respects to this rightful chief disciple of the Three Palaces.
After all, they had some understanding of Guang Chengzi's confidence. Before he even became a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, Guang Chengzi dared to make a bold move, leaving Bixiao humiliated and losing face.
Now that he has become a Great Golden Immortal, how could he possibly be subservient? That would not be Guang Chengzi!
Especially after witnessing the successive departures of the Three Pure Ones, their wisdom led them to a conclusion.
That means that in the future, Kunlun Mountain will probably really be under the management of Guang Chengzi. Unless a second junior Great Luo Golden Immortal appears, no one can resist the majesty of this senior brother.
The subsequent call to action confirmed their suspicions. The rightful chief disciple of the Three Palaces immediately took action, ordering many disciples to come and pay their respects, and even explicitly stating that those who did not come would be expelled.
Such domineering and authoritative manner won them over wholeheartedly.
Two female disciples of the Shangqing lineage, accompanied by three thousand immortals, entered Biyou Palace with a sense of pilgrimage.
At this time, Biyou Palace was slightly different from what they remembered. In addition to the ever-present, vibrant, and sharp aura that seemed to strive upwards for life, there was now a pure aura that encompassed all things and evolved into countless forms.
This all-encompassing pure energy, though slightly less sharp than that energy, is essentially just as noble.
The former is like a newborn tiger cub, while the latter is already the king of beasts roaring through the mountains. Although there is a huge difference in strength between the two, they have both reached the pinnacle of everyone's power. The only difference now is the passage of time.
The source of this pure energy was a young Taoist priest sitting on a sword lotus.
At this moment, the Taoist priest smiled and quietly looked at the more than three thousand people in front of him, his joy beyond words.
It was Guang Chengzi!
Seeing that Guang Chengzi looked the same as before, but his aura had changed dramatically, Wudang Shengmu and Jinling Shengmu were also shocked.
Then, under the watchful eyes of many, the two noble female immortals respectfully performed a half-kneeling ceremony, saying, "Junior Sister Wudang, along with Jinling, pays respects to Senior Brother Yuqing. We wish Senior Brother a long and prosperous life, and that he may soon inherit the mantle of Second Senior Uncle, carry it forward, and uphold the prestige of Yuqing!"
Although Jinling Shengmu was also a direct disciple of Shangqing and held a noble status no less than Wudang Shengmu, she was even more favored by Tongtian than Wudang Shengmu.
After all, Tongtian had personally said that Jinling Shengmu was more suitable than Duobao to succeed her as the future master of Biyou Palace. Although no one knows whether this was a joke or the truth, the presence of this statement clearly demonstrates Jinling Shengmu's status within Biyou Palace.
Even so, this beloved Virgin Mary remained silent, simply standing quietly behind the Virgin Mary, letting her speak.
After all, they were quite familiar with the etiquette of the Jade Void Palace. According to the rules of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the eldest senior brother was equivalent to a half-master to his many junior brothers and sisters.
After all, the master above has to comprehend the Great Dao, go into seclusion to cultivate, and occasionally travel. Where would he find so much time to teach his disciples?
Therefore, at this time, the senior brothers and sisters will impart the teachings on behalf of the master, and their status is similar to that of a half-master. Although there is no master-disciple relationship, there is the reality of a master-disciple relationship, so they should naturally be respected.
The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit was once trained by the Holy Mother of Wudang for a period of time. As the saying goes, "Once a teacher, always a parent," so it is only in accordance with etiquette and rules that the Holy Mother of Wudang speaks for her.
The two noble female immortals performed a half-kneeling salute to show their respect. The three thousand Shangqing immortals, who had been personally taught by Guang Chengzi, naturally did not have such a noble temperament. They all obediently knelt down, prostrated themselves, and addressed him as their teacher.
This isn't about messing up the hierarchy; after all, a person can only have one master, but a teacher doesn't necessarily have to be just one.
Some of these people had already studied under several teachers before becoming Tongtian's disciples.
The purpose of becoming an apprentice is to improve one's cultivation. Since this master cannot help them cultivate, they will naturally have to find other masters.
Just like before becoming an immortal, one might only want to find a blessed land, but after becoming an immortal, one wants to find a grotto-heaven, and then even grotto-heavens and blessed lands are no longer enough, so one naturally wants to find immortal mountains and divine mountains.
This is all understandable. Besides, they weren't really formally becoming Guang Chengzi's disciples at this point, since the space wasn't insufficient for them. They were simply expressing their gratitude for the previous sermon.
