The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 99 Would you like to become my disciple?

"Ok?"

"Bodhi?"

"Bodhi!"

Lei Zhan looked at the thin old man in Taoist robe who suddenly appeared from afar, feeling puzzled.

"What? Patriarch Bodhi?"

The voice of the big yellow-haired bear also rang in Leizhan's heart, and he became extremely excited.

"Is Bodhi Patriarch here?"

"The ancestor practices both Buddhism and Taoism. He can know the three realms in a dream. His strength is unfathomable. Most importantly, he is a close friend born in the chaos with the master!"

"Quick! Leizhan, go forward and pay your respects to the ancestor!"

As the big yellow-haired bear spoke, he became anxious.

Without waiting for the Yellow-haired Bear to finish his voice, Leizhan took a step forward and immediately came to the front of the thin old man in Taoist robes and saluted respectfully.

"Leizhan, meet the Taoist Master Bodhi!"

"Hmm." Patriarch Bodhi looked at Lei Zhan, the smile on his face growing deeper. "Don't be nervous. You are the descendant of San Shou, and I'm sure Little Bear has told you about the relationship between San Shou and me."

"Replying to Daozu," Leizhan said respectfully, "Senior Daxiong has already mentioned that Daozu and Master Sanshou are close friends for life and death!"

Leizhan couldn't help but be respectful. Although he had successively received magical powers from Taoist Sanshou and True God Qushui, this was the first time he saw the real True God Taoist Ancestor with his own eyes.

Moreover, regardless of Bodhi Patriarch's status or strength, he deserves the utmost respect. This is also the most important respect for the strong!
"Fellow Daoist Sanshou, we finally have a true successor, and his magical power, the Star-Picking Hand, will finally reappear in the Three Realms!" Patriarch Bodhi sighed for a moment.

Patriarch Bodhi and Taoist Sanshou were born together from chaos and were born as true gods.

Later they went through hardships together, and the old friends around them died one by one. He and Taoist Sanshou were friends for life and death, and close friends!

Now, his former friend had perished in that ancient war. Facing his friend's only successor, even though Patriarch Bodhi was indifferent to many storms, his heart was still stirred for a moment.

Lei Zhan waited silently.

a long time.

Patriarch Bodhi looked at Leizhan and said, "Leizhan, I have watched you all along the way. Your talent, from ancient times to the present, is also extremely outstanding in my opinion."

Lei Zhan was stunned. "I've walked all the way here, and I've seen all the way here? Could it be that Patriarch Bodhi has been paying attention to me for a long time?"

You have to know that the person in front of you is Bodhi Patriarch. Although he has not reached the leadership level, he is already close to it. This is one of the top powerful people in the entire Three Realms!
Lei Zhan was also very happy that Bodhi Patriarch had such a high evaluation of him.

"You've come all the way from the mortal world, possessing extraordinary talent and profound blessings," said Patriarch Bodhi. "Furthermore, cultivating immortality is all about character; it's the very foundation of cultivation. In my opinion, your character is also excellent, and you have great potential."

"but……"

"Hmm?" Leizhan listened silently.

"You are talented and have a high level of comprehension, which are advantages. But the road ahead will not be easy." Patriarch Bodhi looked at him leisurely.

When seeing the exhibition, Patriarch Bodhi seemed to see the little boy who loved painting.

After meeting him for the first time, with just one word of guidance, the young child was able to comprehend the complete Tao of 'Ink and Wash' overnight. He could be said to be the most talented one under his command.

But now...

The one in front of me is more talented!

"In a thousand years, she has almost comprehended two great principles... With such talent, only she could have surpassed her in her time." Patriarch Bodhi sighed in his heart.

"This..." Leizhan was speechless.

Since he started practicing, he has had no good guidance and has relied almost entirely on his own exploration along the way.

Although he became a disciple of the master, the Immortal Ju Hua, the swordsmanship of the Immortal Ju Hua only provided some guidance to Lei Zhan in the beginning, and later on he was far surpassed by him.

"However, I have the black beads and all the advantages brought by the memories of my previous life. Even if it is not easy to walk, the advantage is that I can take one step at a time." Lei Zhan said secretly in his heart.

A thousand miles begins with a single step.

The nine-story platform rises from the soil.

Even if the road ahead is extremely difficult, Leizhan is confident that he can reach the highest point.

After figuring this out, Lei Zhan felt for a moment that his mind was as clear as a mirror. After wiping it, his entire mind became much clearer.

"The path to immortality requires a broad vision, and you've done a great job of that. You've also laid a solid foundation."

"And you are not lacking in edge."

Patriarch Bodhi was deeply moved.

One thought, three realms. Ever since that little fellow plunged into the vast North Sea and traveled across countless islands to slay sinners, he began to pay attention to it. Until now, in just a hundred years, he has grown to this point.

"The key to cultivating immortality lies in persistence! Talent, understanding, opportunity, and character are all indispensable. But most importantly, you must have lofty ambitions in your heart to go further."

As he spoke, Patriarch Bodhi's gaze towards Lei Zhan became softer and more satisfied.

This kind of monstrous genius is extremely perfect. Even the character that he values most, and even other things, are all fully demonstrated.

"Yes." Lei Zhan nodded respectfully.

Do you feel like your heart is soaring to the sky?
The road ahead is already clear to Leizhan.

The more you know, the more you feel like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

But in Leizhan's view, the seed of ambition in his heart is growing stronger and stronger.

Just as Patriarch Bodhi said, only if your heart has the strength to reach the sky, this seed will eventually grow into a towering tree!

Seeing Leizhan lost in thought, Patriarch Bodhi said leisurely, "Little Bear, why don't you come out?"

"Although time and space are in chaos here, I am here and will not harm you."

As soon as the words fell, Wow!

A figure suddenly appeared beside Leizhan, it was the big yellow-haired bear.

"Little Bear pays homage to the Taoist Patriarch." The big yellow-haired bear knelt down and kowtowed.

"The last time we met was in ancient times. Sanshou asked a few of us to refine a new Star-Picking Mansion." Patriarch Bodhi looked at the big yellow-haired bear that looked like a real living creature, with a smile in his eyes.

"You have successfully found an excellent successor for Daoist Sanshou, fulfilling his last wish."

"Last wish?" The yellow-haired bear trembled and knelt down again. "I still ask Daozu for guidance. Where is my master now? Is he alive or dead?"

There were tears in the eyes of the big yellow-haired bear, and he kowtowed heavily to Patriarch Bodhi.

Although in the void, he could still feel the eagerness and desire of the yellow-haired bear.

Endless years passed as he single-handedly guarded Zhaixing Mansion, guarding the Zhaixing Mansion lineage left by Taoist Sanshou, simply waiting for his master to return after the battle. Naturally, others would find it difficult to empathize with his feelings.

"Ah!" Patriarch Bodhi had a complicated expression on his face. He looked at the big yellow-haired bear and sighed slightly. "Little Bear, you already know it in your heart. Why bother asking?"

"I..." The big yellow-haired bear's heart trembled and he looked at the ancestor.

"He's dead. Sanshou died a long time ago. He died in that catastrophe."

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head. "Given Sanshou's personality, if he were still alive, why wouldn't he have gone looking for you? And let you wander around for tens of thousands of years? You, little bear, clearly guessed it, but you refused to believe it."

The big yellow-haired bear's heart trembled suddenly, and he just knelt there, silent.

After a long while, the big yellow-haired bear finally said, "Little Bear was too presumptuous before."

"Alright." The old ancestor ordered, "Go back to Zhaixing Mansion. You can't leave Zhaixing Mansion yet."

"Yes." The big yellow-haired bear nodded respectfully and then disappeared.

……

"call!"

Fairy Wangshu stood far away in the dark void, and five faint air currents could be seen on her chest.

Those are the five most important energies in the chest for a celestial being to break through to become a Pure Yang True Immortal.

In just a moment, the five energies in Fairy Wangshu's chest condensed, and as a large amount of Pure Yang Spirit Pills were swallowed, the celestial golden elixir in her Dantian Purple Mansion had completed its transformation.

"Huh? That is?"

Fairy Wangshu turned her head and looked into the distance.

She had already noticed the distance when she broke through, but breaking through to become a Pure Yang True Immortal was the most important thing, and with Lei Zhan by her side, she didn't focus on it.

What came into view was Lei Zhan standing there respectfully. In front of Lei Zhan was a thin old man wearing a Taoist robe.

The thin old man looked ordinary, but he made Fairy Wangshu, who had just broken through to the Pure Yang True Immortal, feel extremely threatened!

"Wangshu, come and pay homage to Taoist Master Bodhi!" Leizhan's voice sounded in the heart of Fairy Wangshu at the right time.

"Daozu? Daozu Bodhi?" Fairy Wangshu's expression changed. She was naturally familiar with the name of Daozu Bodhi.

With one step forward, Fairy Wangshu came to Leizhan's side and bowed respectfully.

"Wangshu, I pay my respects to the Taoist Master Bodhi."

"Yes." Patriarch Bodhi nodded slightly, "I came here today for you two."

"Is it for the two of us?" Leizhan and Fairy Wangshu looked at each other, both with astonishment in their eyes.

But then, Leizhan's heart moved, and he felt a little happy. Combined with what Patriarch Bodhi had just said to him, the purpose of his visit was self-evident.

"Building Exhibition."

Patriarch Bodhi looked at Leizhan and said, "Sanshou is dead, so I will teach you the Dao in his place. Are you willing to accept me as your master?"

"This..." Leizhan was delighted and immediately knelt in the air, "Disciple greets Master!"

"Ah."

Patriarch Bodhi smiled, "From today on, you will be a disciple of mine. When you successfully overcome the tribulation, you will become my personal disciple."

"Yes." Lei Zhan responded respectfully.

"There are very few rules in my sect, just two." Patriarch Bodhi looked at Lei Zhan.

"One, do not disobey."

"Second, you are not allowed to tell others that I am your master without my permission."

Patriarch Bodhi said, "If you disobey, at the very least, I will kill you, obscuring your memory and preventing you from reincarnating. At the worst, I will scatter your soul, and at the worst... let your soul suffer the torment of burning in the True Fire for eternity."

"The disciple understands."

Lei Zhan had known these two rules for a long time, so he was naturally extremely respectful.

Beside Leizhan, Fairy Wangshu was watching silently, secretly amazed in her heart.

"No wonder it's said throughout the Three Realms that the ancestor is good at teaching his disciples, but there are so few strong people who claim to be his disciples."

Patriarch Bodhi nodded slightly, then turned to look at Fairy Wangshu, "Wangshu, are you willing to become my disciple like Leizhan?"

……

It’s too late!
Sigh! The main problem is that it's a bit of a hassle to handle! It has to fit in with Bodhi's identity while also being practical. Copying it completely won't work, but neither can I omit anything. Otherwise, the logic will be messed up.
