Chapter 10, Long Ears

Isn't this a bit too generous? Even Taiyi feels a bit distressed

Tongtian nodded slightly

Tai Yi smiled and said, "Brother, there is no need to worry. I have used the Eastern Emperor Bell to cover this place. Not even a sage, let alone Hongjun Laozu, can hear our conversation."

The little demon has had long ears since childhood and has long admired the path of immortality, so he named himself Chang'er Dingguang Xian, but the sage can just call me Chang'er.

The myriad beings of the primordial chaos were stirred. During the last sermon delivered by Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace, many beings wished to attend but were unable to do so. However, traveling to the East Sea was not as difficult.

What a wonderful paradise of the immortals! Tongtian was very pleased, but he still advised: "There must be a residence for you on my Golden Ao Island, but even siblings are not exempt from disputes. In the future, you must each find a cave dwelling to avoid conflicts later on"

Taiyi suddenly said: "If the human race were to perish, then how many choices would the saints have, and whom could they choose to establish their teachings?"

At the boundary of the realm, beneath the formation of ten thousand immortals, I have no regrets in this life for being a disciple of the截教

As I, Tongtian, have established the截教 and am here to guide the people of the world, I must ensure that my words are followed by actions

Elder brother, rest assured, I know what to do

Tongtian pondered for a moment and waved his hand to inscribe three large characters at the entrance of the palace: Biyou Palace

On the cliffs of the East Cliff, the perilous peaks rise. The red rocks and strange stones, the steep walls and peculiar summits. On the red cliff, the colorful phoenixes call in pairs, while before the steep wall, the unicorn rests alone. At times, one can hear the golden phoenix singing at the peak, and in the stone cave, one can observe the dragon coming and going. In the forest, there are longevity deer and celestial foxes; in the trees, there are spiritual birds and mysterious fowls.

Tongtian shook his head and said: "It's almost time. Although I have separated from my senior brother, since he has established a sect in Kunlun, any place near Kunlun falls within his sphere of influence. Moreover, I believe that the teachings will last for at least several hundred years, and those who are truly devoted to the path will still have time to pursue it"

Tai Yi nodded slightly, but still asked, "Are you planning to win over the Two Saints of the West?"

Then Tongtian began to enter the island

The power of the town is vast, and the sea of Weining sways. Tides surge as fish enter the silver mountains' holes, waves roll like snow, and mirages depart from the abyss. Wood and fire gather in the corners, accumulating high mounds of earth

At that time, it will not only be the sovereign of the heavens, but also the primordial divine emperor, who will undoubtedly be no weaker than the saints

So, brother, what position do you intend to offer

The heavens and the earth can bear witness, I am willing to offer the island to the sage, only asking the sage to allow me to be a humble servant, serving tea and water, so that I may stay by the sage's side, having a place to rest on this Golden Aol Island

Tongtian paused and asked: "But is it sincere?"

Do not be afraid! Everyone replied in unison

Therefore, Xu Siyuan secretly heightened his vigilance towards the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal

"Master, is a hundred years not too short?" Duo Bao asked involuntarily, as the vastness of the primordial world made a hundred years seem insignificant.

Exercise caution in speech

All saints possess the Great Way, yet only the one who reaches the heavens is truly selfless

What is the position of the imperial teacher like

This is the second time since the beginning of the primordial chaos that a saint has preached to all beings, and it is also the first time that a saint has preached to all beings in the primordial chaos

The disciples received their orders and departed

However, Tongtian laughed and said, "What you say does make some sense; this island can be considered yours. The islands in the East China Sea are countless, and although Jin'ao Island is good, I, Tongtian, do not like to forcibly occupy the places of others"

While no one else noticed anything unusual, Xu Siyuan's expression subtly changed; it was indeed him. This Long Ear Dingguang Immortal is quite famous in later generations.

Di Jun hesitated for a moment and said: "This matter can be tried, but it cannot be handled by us, and it must be done subtly, so that it absolutely cannot be traced back to our demon clan"

... ...

On this day, Emperor Jun was handling state affairs on the throne when he suddenly heard that Tongtian was establishing a dojo in the East Sea

I will preach on the Golden Turtle Island in the East China Sea a hundred years from now, and those with fate may come to listen to the teachings

In the main hall, the high seat of the heavenly throne is occupied, and one is lost in thought!

Thus, every thread of fortune is immensely precious to Emperor Jun, and yet he is willing to relinquish the position of Imperial Teacher; this truly demonstrates that Emperor Jun has invested heavily.

Tongtian nodded and said: "The name is quite good, and the person is clever. From now on, you shall stay by my side as a young attendant."

However, if Xu Siyuan were to be all-knowing, he would likely trust the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, not only relinquishing the island but also willing to serve as a mere acolyte

At that moment, a gigantic rabbit emerged from Golden Tortoise Island, this rabbit was adorable, sporting two enormous ears

The rare herbs and extraordinary flowers do not wither, the green pines and cypress trees endure through spring. The celestial peaches bear fruit continuously, the tall bamboos always retain the clouds. A dense growth of vines fills the ravine, while the grass along the banks is fresh in all directions

Di Jun then said: "Sages are ultimately a nuisance. I am willing to offer generous gifts to invite all sages to serve in my Heavenly Palace, and I do not even require them to come to my Heavenly Palace; I only seek a nominal title in return."

Gathering the fortunes of heaven and earth, uniting the hearts of people around the world, with one mind and one will, all destinies converge into one

One cannot catch a wolf without parting with a child; to win over the sage, one must act accordingly. You are to go now and select treasures from my treasury, where rare and exquisite items await your choice. Then, choose several from the ten great demon saints to serve as envoys.

It is known that there are many disciples of the Tongtian Gate, yet the Six Souls Banner is entrusted to the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, which demonstrates the level of trust placed in him

After a long time, Tongtian seemed to come to his senses and looked at his disciple, saying: "The words of the sage, once spoken, are without regret. My Jie Jiao will surely have a confrontation with Chan Jiao in the future. Are you afraid?"

Indeed clever

There is still a sentence hidden in my heart that I have not spoken: Do not end up like me, causing an irreparable rift in the end

Soon, Xu Siyuan and others selected their rooms, and the rooms of Xu Siyuan and his companions were all adjacent to each other

The rabbit suddenly knelt down on the ground: "O sage, please do not leave. I am merely a small wild rabbit, how could I dare to occupy such a vast island? Since the sage has arrived, this island naturally belongs to the sage."

"Why not? I was born on this island, and this island naturally belongs to me. How can you still attempt to seize it by force?"

"Is this island your dwelling?" Tongtian inquired.

Tongtian planned to seek a new dojo.

At this point, Emperor Jun said resentfully: "That Nüwa was born as a member of the demon clan, yet she created the human race, while the other saints have made the human race the foundation of their teachings. This is truly detestable!"

All three thousand paths can lead to sanctity, and the path that Emperor Jun walks is the imperial way

Moreover, it is said that Emperor Jun Taiyi established the Heavenly Court, governing all the demon clans of the world and the celestial bodies of the heavens

"You each go choose a room and then come to the main hall to see me," Tongtian said.

The West is barren, and there are only two saints in the West. To court the West would offend the East, so there is no need to court them. As long as the Three Pure Ones can bring one person over, many matters will become much easier for our Heavenly Court to handle.

It is said that the disciples of Tongtian are of mixed quality, yet when a great calamity arrives, how many will betray their sect

Moreover, the Imperial Master can share the celestial fortune of the Heavenly Court, which truly reflects a position of great honor.

What is your name? asked Tongtian.

Di Jun nodded and said: "The North Sea is the most barren and least likely to attract the attention of the Witch Clan. Once the North Sea is occupied by our demon clan, we can gradually plan for the other three seas. However, I have always been on guard against the Witch Clan, and who would have thought that a Saint has established a temple in the East Sea. It will not be so easy to occupy the Four Seas from now on."

Duobao then ceased to speak further and instructed Tongtian, "In a hundred years, we will have to preach the Dao. You and Chang'er should properly arrange the Golden Ao Island."

Brother sent Kunpeng to quietly leave the Heavenly Court and establish the Demon Master Palace in the North Sea, was it to seize the fortune of the North Sea? asked Taiyi

However, upon hearing the words "Tongtian," the rabbit quietly asked, "Is it the sage Tongtian?"

Tongtian extracted a large amount of innate spiritual materials, and with a wave of his hand, a massive palace appeared on Golden Ao Island

Although the days are difficult to change, betrayal is inherently unforgivable

In the Battle of the Gods, the截教 suffered countless casualties, yet even in the end, they had the courage to stand their ground and resist against the Saints.

Being overly clever can lead one to be opportunistic, but fortunately, such individuals tend to work diligently when the sect is thriving, so there is no need to worry about them causing harm at present

Taiyi was greatly astonished, for the Imperial Master is the teacher of the Heavenly Emperor, and in a certain sense, holds an even higher status than the Heavenly Emperor.

Very well, as expected of my disciple

Only one person gained the deep trust of Tongtian, yet betrayed Tongtian at a critical moment

Seeing the numerous celestial beings, this rabbit has made preparations to escape at any moment. It appears fierce and imposing, yet in reality, it is as timid as a mouse

Emperor Jun dismissed the multitude of demons and summoned Taiyi to discuss: "Our demon clan governs the heavens, while the shaman clan governs the earth. The majority of the primordial fortune belongs to our two clans, with a portion of the fortune belonging to the saints. The fortune of the saints cannot be disturbed, but the four seas occupy one-tenth of the fortune of heaven and earth, which could originally be utilized for some schemes.

As the crowd descends from the clouds, a closer look at this island reveals

At this moment, Tongtian employed his divine powers, and his voice resonated throughout the vast wilderness

Who dares to trespass on my island

The截教 has already become Xu Siyuan's home, and he loves this home
