Primordial Era: I, the Spiritual Stone Monkey, was born ahead of schedule to seize the throne.

Chapter 194 Ran Deng Really Cried, Qi Tian Slapped a Brick

but,

He was somewhat reluctant to let Yuanshi refuse.

How could I give up something that would make me look good?

The thought flashed by in an instant.

Yuan Shi then came up with an excellent solution.

"Cough cough~"

With a light cough, Yuanshi waved his hand and first helped Randeng up.

Then he said calmly:

"It is true that those who have attained enlightenment should become teachers, but we are of the same generation and we cannot mess up the seniority. Since you sincerely wish to become my disciple, then you shall become a nominal disciple."

"You will also serve as the Vice Leader of my Chan Sect. From now on, you will not need to kneel before me, and I will have my disciples address you as 'Teacher'!"

Upon hearing this,

Ran Deng was overjoyed.

In this way, he can both seek advice on the path to breaking through to the Quasi-Saint level and maintain his dignity in front of outsiders.

The best of both worlds.

That's exactly what he wanted.

As for whether his calling Yuanshi "teacher" and Yuanshi's disciples calling him "teacher" would cause confusion in the hierarchy, he is still referring to Yuanshi as "teacher".

He didn't care about anything else as long as he could improve his cultivation level.

Immediately,

Randeng bowed again to Yuanshi and thanked him, saying, "Disciple Randeng greets Master."

"No need for such formalities!"

Yuan Shi's face finally showed a look of satisfaction:

"Now that you have become my disciple, I will naturally answer your questions about cultivation."

As soon as this word comes out,

Ran Deng immediately showed excitement and bowed deeply, saying:

"Please give me your guidance, teacher."

"Um!"

Yuanshi nodded and said solemnly:

"The reason your cultivation has been stuck at the Great Luo realm and you can't advance to Quasi-Saint isn't because of your talent or lack of effort, but because you're too greedy!"

"what?"

Ran Deng was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi shook his head:

"You cultivate too many laws—devouring, annihilation, death—do you think your talent surpasses even that of the Dao Ancestor?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

Ran Deng immediately shook his head, but was still puzzled: "Does this have anything to do with my inability to advance to Quasi-Saint?"

"Sigh~"

Yuanshi sighed and explained:

"Our cultivation is limited in energy. Only after we have fully comprehended one law and broken through to the Supreme Saint realm will we choose to comprehend other laws."

Otherwise, cultivating multiple laws simultaneously is not only slow, but also causes the inherent nature of one's own laws to restrain each other when breaking through to a higher realm, preventing them from reaching perfection and thus hindering the breakthrough.

"That's your problem!"

"What?"

Ran Deng was immediately dumbfounded, his face blank.

Is his inability to get promoted the problem?

That's too much.

It's both simple and absurd!

Suddenly, Randeng remembered what the Dao Ancestor had told him last time:

"Greed knows no bounds! You've gone astray!"

It turns out that the Dao Ancestor had already given him guidance.

At the time, he thought that the Dao Ancestor was disliking and mocking him.

Thinking of this,

Ran Deng's face immediately turned bitter.

The regret in my heart cannot be washed away even by the chaos.

We've wasted far too much time.

Moreover, if they had realized this earlier, they wouldn't have had to shamelessly become Yuanshi's disciples; they would have lost out big time.

Ran Deng suddenly felt like crying.

Yuanshi, unaware of Randeng's thoughts, saw his grim expression and assumed he was in despair.

comforted:

"Don't worry, as long as you abolish the other laws and cultivate only one path, advancing to Quasi-Saint will be just a blink of an eye!"

"I"

however,

Yuanshi's attempt to comfort him only made things worse; it caused Randeng to lose his composure.

Two tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks.

"."

Yuan Shi's brows twitched violently as he watched this scene.

Why are you crying now?!

Is it really necessary?!

"Ahem, don't be discouraged. The one thing we cultivators have in abundance is time. As long as we persevere, it's never too late."

Listening to Yuanshi's words,

The lamp burner felt even more aggrieved. However,

Now that the die is cast, it's too late for regrets. The ship of Chanjiao, the teacher of sages, is not something you can just disembark or retreat from as you please.

Take a deep breath.

Forcibly suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Ran Deng spoke:

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I'll go into seclusion now to relearn the laws."

"There's no rush!"

At this time,

Yuanshi shook his head and said to Randeng, who looked puzzled:

"Humanity will become the protagonist of heaven and earth. A child destined for greatness, like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, will be born. This child needs a master to assist him. Once he has accumulated enough merit, he will receive immeasurable fortune and merit. You..."

"This disciple is willing to assist the chosen one!"

Before Yuanshi could finish speaking, Randeng spoke urgently.

His eyes almost gleamed with a green light.

"."

Yuanshi's expression froze for a moment, then he felt disdain.

This lamp-burning man is shameless.

To dream of becoming the teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors right after starting out? What a pipe dream!

He doesn't even have enough disciples to go around.

but,

Yuanshi did not show it on his face, because he still needed the help of Ran Deng.

He then shook his head and said:

"You joined the sect too late. The teachers of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have already been chosen. Our Chan Sect has three, and we have already given them to three personal disciples: Nanji, Guangchengzi, and Taiyi. I am telling you this matter today so that you can assist them in obtaining the position of teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

Upon hearing this,

Ran Deng's face immediately showed deep disappointment, and he hesitated before saying:

"Teacher, I am merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal. I fear my heart is willing but my strength is insufficient. Perhaps I should wait until I have re-cultivated the laws, severed my corpse, and advanced to Quasi-Saint before I can offer my assistance!"

Listening to Ran Deng's excuses,

A hint of gloom flashed across Yuan Shi's eyes.

In an instant, it returned to calm:

"You don't need to worry if you can't catch up with the time to rebuild the laws and sever your corpse. The highest level of those competing for the position of teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors this time is only the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, which poses no threat to you at all."

Speaking of which,

Seeing that Randeng was still somewhat unwilling, Yuanshi became even more displeased.

He said calmly:

"Assisting them will earn you a share of the merit, depending on the amount of effort you put in."

As soon as this word comes out,

Ran Deng immediately perked up and said without hesitation:

"Since it is the teacher's instruction, this disciple will certainly do his best."

"Um!"

Yuanshi nodded expressionlessly and waved his hand to send the images of his disciples into Randeng's primordial spirit.

He then confessed:

"They have already gone to the human realm. Go and help them now! Once you have accumulated merit, you can abolish the laws and sever your corpse. This will save you a lot of time and may even allow you to advance your cultivation further."

"Yes, disciple will go immediately!" Randeng bowed and took his leave.

After the lamp was lit,

Yuanshi shook his head with a sullen face:

"This lamp-bearer is not worth relying on, much less worth cultivating!"

Muttering a word, Yuanshi closed his eyes again, his spirit wandering beyond the heavens.

Jade Void Palace fell silent once again.

the other side,

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Ran Deng transformed into a streak of light and headed eastward into the primordial wilderness.

After tens of thousands of years of recuperation and reproduction, the human race has now recovered to its peak population of hundreds of billions.

It became the largest in the primordial world, spreading throughout the entire primordial world.

However, since the ancestral homeland of the human race is in the eastern part of the prehistoric world, most of the human race still gathers in the east.

The chosen one of destiny

It will definitely be born within the Eastern human race.

Therefore,

To find Guang Chengzi and the others in Antarctica, we must go to the primordial eastern land.

The lamp burns extremely quickly.

In just half a day, they had flown tens of millions of miles away.

however,

Just as it flew over a towering mountain peak, a streak of azure light appeared silently behind it.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Ran Deng felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and then lost consciousness.

His body plummeted directly towards the ground.

"Whoosh!"
