Primordial Era: I am the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the gatekeeper of the Great Dao.

Chapter 10 This man truly has a way of courting death!

"What exactly happened?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked bewildered and turned to look at Taiqing Laozi beside him.

I hope to get an answer from him.

In terms of strategy, he was self-aware, and could be considered the most clueless of the Three Pure Ones.

"Third brother, we are all descendants of Pangu, why has the blessing of the great god Pangu not manifested in your wisdom?"

"Even Cangxuan's disciple can see the situation clearly, yet you understand nothing of it!"

"Randeng knew that his second brother was proud and valued his reputation, so he came to Kunlun Mountain to become a disciple and seek a place for himself."

"Although my second brother will not accept him as a disciple, he will not refuse outright out of consideration for face and morality, which leaves an opportunity for Ran Deng."

"Therefore, the most reasonable arrangement is to let Randeng serve as the vice leader of the Chan Sect, which shows his magnanimity and does not lose face."

"Such a brilliant scheme, how could your second brother not be furious?"

Taiqing Laozi's words are all gems, and every sentence hits the nail on the head.

For a moment, even the air inside the Taiqing Palace seemed to become heavier.

The Lamp Burner has grand ambitions, daring to covet the position of Vice Leader of the Chan Sect.

With such ambition and courage, aren't you worried that you won't be able to enjoy it?

"I hadn't noticed anything amiss until my disciple Cangxuan pointed it out."

"Whether the lamp-lighter truly harbors such ambitions or we are overthinking it, it's always good to be safe than sorry."

"Kunlun Mountain is the sacred site of the Three Pure Ones; how can we allow such a treacherous person to set foot here?"

Taiqing Laozi spoke with absolute certainty, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

We must nip any potential threats in the bud.

Even if that threat was insignificant to them.

The fact that Ran Deng acts discreetly and keeps a low profile further suggests that he may harbor ulterior motives.

"This person truly has a way of courting death!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was resolute and cold, with sword energy surging around him.

It seemed as if the next moment would bring forth a myriad of swords, annihilating the Daoist Burning Lamp into nothingness.

"Let's leave this matter to Cang Xuan."

Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand, suppressing his anger.

"Just now, I used my primordial essence to deduce the secrets of heaven, traversing the river of time."

"Fortunately, Heaven did not forsake our Chan Sect. Randeng was blocked by Cangxuan outside Kunlun, and he had no chance of getting the position of vice sect leader."

"But this person is cunning and may cause trouble again."

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

As sages of the Heavenly Dao, the Three Pure Ones naturally have the means to traverse the river of time.

However, each time such a method is used, it causes a great loss to one's own essence.

It is even possible to offend the Heavenly Dao, be assimilated by it, and become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao.

These are all the costs that must be paid to traverse the river of time.

"Rest assured, my three masters, I already have a plan in mind."

A glint of light flashed in Cang Xuan's eyes as he addressed the Three Pure Ones:

"However, before that, I must get my hands on the coffin lamp in his possession."

"This treasure is destined for my Xuanmen sect; it rightfully belongs to me!"

Since the beginning of time, four great spiritual lamps have been created: the Jade Void Glazed Lamp, the Eight Scenery Palace Lamp, the Coffin Lamp, and the Precious Lotus Lamp.

The four spirit lamps are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, each containing innate spiritual fire with boundless power.

What Cangxuan wanted was the innate spiritual fire within the coffin lamp.

Ghostly Fire!

Its mystery lies in its ability to perceive the past lives of living beings and predict fortune and misfortune, which is rare in the world.

However, before Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, the true power of the Netherworld Ghost Fire could not be fully unleashed and could only be used against enemies.

"Go ahead and do it!"

Taiqing Laozi nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval.

"Randeng would never dare to lay a hand on a disciple of a sage."

With the support of Taiqing Laozi, Cangxuan's confidence greatly increased.

Ran Deng took the initiative to deliver the spiritual treasure to my door; he's such a kind person.

"This disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations!"

After bowing, Cang Xuan turned and left Taiqing Palace.

Then his figure transformed into a stream of light and returned to the gate of Kunlun Mountain.

This place is a fairyland, filled with ethereal mist and Taoist charm, captivating all who behold it.

The Taoist Ran Deng stood silently before the formation, his eyes flickering between light and darkness.

"Huh? When did this guy shave his head?"

Cang Xuan's gaze inadvertently swept over the top of Ran Deng's clean head, and he felt a little puzzled.

"Could it be that he already knows something and is preparing to join the Western Religion ahead of schedule?"

At the same time, Ran Deng also sensed his presence.

Although he was unwilling, he put on a fake smile.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, would the Three Pure Ones be willing to accept me as their disciple?"

With a hint of flattery on his face, Ran Deng cupped his hands and asked.

Cang Xuan sat leisurely in the rattan chair, appearing unusually calm compared to Ran Deng's anxiety.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The lamp remained in the gesture of cupped hands, his face showing some embarrassment and confusion.

After a long while, Cang Xuan finally spoke slowly:

"It seems you really don't understand manners?"

"To want to become a disciple of a sage, yet not even prepare the proper ceremony for becoming a disciple, is utterly foolish."

"Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals have become direct disciples of the Jie Sect because they presented the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron."

"The Tongtian Sect Leader not only did not accept their spiritual treasures, but also gave them a lot of cultivation resources and treasures."

"What the sage values ​​is not the formality of apprenticeship, but an attitude, do you understand?"

The master swindler Cangxuan has arrived and immediately made a grand promise to Randeng.

Exchanging a spiritual treasure for the position of vice leader of the Chan Sect is no longer gambling, but a sound investment!

The rewards were so generous that they were almost unimaginable.

At the gate of Kunlun Mountain, Randeng gritted his teeth.

Despite his deep reluctance, he resolutely offered up his comrade-in-arms spiritual treasure, the coffin lamp.

Previously, the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron presented by Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

The only thing he could boast about was this one magical artifact.

After the third sermon at Zixiao Palace, powerful beings from the primordial era vied for spiritual treasures on the Treasure Distribution Cliff.

But he was like an outsider, not even seeing a trace of a magical treasure.

At that time, he could only watch helplessly as everyone else returned with their spoils, while he gained nothing.

In the end, even the Treasure Sharing Cliff was completely moved away by a mysterious entity.

It's truly a case of hungry wolves fighting over food, and geese plucking feathers as they pass by.

"Fellow Daoist, this coffin lamp is my natal spiritual treasure. I am willing to use it as a gift for becoming your disciple."

Ran Deng's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with reluctance, as he slowly handed the coffin lamp to Cang Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist, you are very kind. Please erase the primordial spirit imprint!"

He glanced at the lamp and said calmly, "Don't try anything funny."

Cang Xuan activated his magic power and learned that the spirit imprint of Ran Deng was still inside the coffin lamp.

The innate restrictions within the coffin lamp have been largely neutralized by the lamp's refinement.

"It was my oversight, fellow Daoist, please forgive me."

The magical power within Ran Deng surged, severing the connection between himself and the coffin lamp.

next moment.

Ran Deng felt something was slipping away from him.

However, when he looked up at the summit of Kunlun Mountain...

The thought of the wonderful life he would have as a disciple of a sage gave him renewed strength.

"Okay, you can go now."

Cang Xuan waved his hand and said expressionlessly.

"Just now, I reported your situation truthfully to the Three Pure Ones at Taiqing Palace."

"But unfortunately, none of them want to take you in."

"However, I will accept this gift of apprenticeship on behalf of the Three Pure Ones."

"I advise you to give up on the idea of ​​joining the Taoist sect as soon as possible."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, so shocking that Randeng almost lost his footing.
