Primordial Era: A member of the Jie Sect, apprenticed to Tongtian

After formally accepting his third disciple.

Shi Yuan then examined it more carefully.

After discovering that Wang Shu was still in seclusion, he naturally did not disturb her.

After all, he had already heard Nuwa mention it before in the Nuwa Palace.

Wang Shu is very close to severing his third corpse, and this seclusion might just yield some results.

In particular, Wang Shu originally needed a primordial spiritual treasure to sever the third corpse.

Originally, Shi Yuan intended to prepare it for Wang Shu himself—after all, Wang Shu was now a being of the Shi Yuan Realm, so he should naturally take responsibility.

However, this trip to Nuwa resulted in the retrieval of the "Taiyin Moon Wheel".

In this way, he naturally wouldn't bother Wang Shu.

Then he took Liuli back to Yuanquan Mountain.

First, Tai Xi and Xuan Chi were summoned, and the situation regarding Liu Li was explained.

The two were originally supervising Yuanling's cultivation when they heard that Shiyuan had actually taken Liuli as his junior sister.

For a time, they were naturally quite happy.

Of course, if I had to say something, there was one person who wasn't happy.

"..."

Xuan Chi, still appearing as a child, looked at Liu Li, who was clearly older than him.

A barely perceptible hint of envy appeared on her cool little face.

"I am the senior brother."

"But why haven't I grown taller despite my diligent cultivation?"

Due to its long growth cycle, the little ancestral dragon, who looked even younger than Yuanling after its transformation, sighed.

Afterwards, Shi Yuan went to Fuxu Mountain again.

They met the current patriarch of the Su clan, who was also an old fox demon at the Earth Immortal realm.

He later learned that the old fox demon's name was "You Su Zidan," and that she was the nephew of the former Daji.

After explaining to Shi Yuan the matter of taking Liu Li as his disciple, he invited the Su clan fox to live in Yuanquan Mountain.

Now that Liuli has been accepted as a disciple, it is natural that Liuli's clan, Shiyuan, must be preserved.

As for the so-called "criminal clan" established by King Wu of Jin, Shi Yuan naturally paid no attention to it.

Ultimately, the so-called "criminal race" defined by the Zhou dynasty was nothing more than the idea of ​​a human dynasty.

It might have some deterrent effect on some independent cultivators.

But as a disciple of a sage, who would dare say anything if he protected these fox demons?

Su Zidan naturally bowed repeatedly in gratitude, tears streaming down her face.

With the addition of three disciples and a group of fox demons, Yuanquan Mountain became even more vibrant.

However, only a short time later

"Buzz!"

On this day, a sword light suddenly descended from the sky.

The sword light pierced through the barrier of Yuanquan Mountain and landed in front of Shiyuan, who was giving a sermon in Shiyuan Pavilion.

As a result, the three disciples who were listening quietly to the sermon, along with the drowsy Yuanling, were immediately awakened.

"Teacher? This is...?"

They sensed the terrifying power within the sword energy, and then they saw that a decree was hidden within it.

"It's alright—this is the decree of your ancestral master."

Shi Yuan simply smiled.

He opened the imperial edict and only glanced at it briefly.

"So...he's really going to be born?"

His voice was soft.

But his eyes shone with divine light.

"But it's time."

So he slowly got up.

"The three of you should cultivate diligently—I am going to visit your grandmaster."

After he finished speaking, he saw that all three disciples nodded obediently.

Shi Yuanfang then set off towards the East Sea using his escape light!

For Shi Yuan, the East Sea was naturally like coming home.

In less than half a day, he had already entered the territory of the Jie Sect and ascended to Zizhi Cliff.

Meanwhile, on Purple Ganoderma Cliff, the gates of Biyou Palace were open.

He stepped into the palace, only to see the Tongtian Sect Leader sitting upright on the Daoist platform.

However, unexpectedly, after meeting Shi Yuan, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not immediately bring up the important matter.

Instead, she glanced at him and said, "Why are you the only one who came?"

"What about my three grand-disciples?"

The way he spoke, however, was quite like an old man complaining to his son during the Lunar New Year, "Why are you all alone? Where is my grandson?!"

Shi Yuan: "?"

So Shi Yuan was speechless for a long time.

He wasn't surprised by the question from the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Although Tai Xi, Xuan Chi, and Liu Li were his disciples, they had only been under his tutelage for a short time—in fact, only a few years.

Moreover, the three little ones have never left Yuanquan Mountain, and have been cultivating quietly there all along.

Within the Three Realms, almost no one knows of their existence.

However, the Tongtian Sect Leader must have known this.

After all, he was the founder of the Jie Sect, so how could he not sense that Shi Yuan had taken in a disciple?

The Tongtian Sect Leader was seen blowing his beard and glaring, with an expression that seemed to say, "Don't come back if you don't bring your disciples back."

Shi Yuan replied helplessly, "So that my teacher may know, Confucius is about to be born—my three disciples, though incompetent, have some plans ahead."

"It is inappropriate to ask them to appear in the three realms."

"It is inappropriate to ask them to appear in the three realms."

Tai Xi, Xuan Chi, and Liu Li are now almost unknown in the Three Realms.

However, if they were to follow Shi Yuan back to Biyou Palace, then everyone would know about it.

"Um!?"

But upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader only glared even more fiercely, his beard bristling: "What do you mean by this, brat? Do you want those three novice disciples to join in the fighting?"

His expression darkened slightly, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction.

"How long have those three been practicing? How much skill can they possibly have accumulated?"

"Your involvement in this scheme only adds to the danger—you've done something inappropriate."

His words, however, were full of concern.

What kind of grandparental love is this?

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan, who felt his status had declined, was speechless.

However, he naturally knew the reason.

As for the Tongtian Sect Leader, he had always been extremely fond of his disciples and even all the members of the Jie Sect.

·············

This can be seen from the respect and loyalty of the disciples of the Jie Sect to the Tongtian Sect Leader—it's not enough to simply have the majesty of a saint without genuine feelings.

In any case, it would be impossible to cultivate such a deep emotional bond among the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Just like Shi Yuan, the Tongtian Sect Leader truly regarded him as his own son—a fact that Shi Yuan himself was naturally aware of.

As for Shi Yuan's disciples, in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader, they were naturally his grandsons and granddaughters.

Moreover, they are among the few third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect within the Three Realms today.

Therefore, he naturally attached great importance to them.

Hearing that Shi Yuan seemed to intend to involve them in the upcoming schemes and battles, he became so dissatisfied.

but...

"Teacher, it seems you haven't investigated the backgrounds and aptitudes of my three disciples?"

At this moment, Shi Yuan felt both amused and exasperated.

"Um?"

When Tongtian Jiaozhu heard this, he frowned.

"It's not that I didn't calculate it—your eldest and second disciples, like you, have unpredictable origins and backgrounds."

...............

"And your third disciple, whom you recently took in, seems to be involved in the fate of the Human Dynasty, according to my calculations..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan naturally understood.

Tai Xi and Xuan Chi are beings from the Shiyuan Realm.

Although it is not like Shi Yuan, a time traveler, which is completely "without cause and effect", in essence, it is not like Shi Yuan.

Even sages could hardly fathom their origins.

As for Liuli, it has a karmic connection with the goddess Nuwa.

In addition, their clan, the You Su clan, possesses two supreme treasures of the human court: the Heavenly Phoenix Crown and the Black Bird Imperial Crown.

Therefore, after the Tongtian Sect Leader discovered this during his divination, he stopped divination.

Otherwise, if a sage were to use his magical power, it might attract the attention of the Three Realms and ruin his own disciple's plans.

So much so that even though the Tongtian Sect Leader knew through the Jie Sect Ancestor's Register that he had three grand-disciples.

But this sage really had no idea what the origins of his three grand-disciples were!

"Eh!"

Shi Yuan then sighed, "Master, you are unaware of this."

"Although my three disciples are useless, they were all born with the cultivation level of a Taiyi True Immortal."

"The eldest disciple's talent is probably at the level of the top-tier innate beings. He was born with a high-grade innate spiritual treasure that can suppress one's destiny."

"The second disciple is an ancestral dragon."

"My third disciple is a fox demon—but he received a five-colored stone and some minor opportunities from the Goddess Nuwa, which made him the only ten-tailed celestial fox in the Three Realms. His talent and background are no less than my other two disciples."

He shrugged and shook his head at the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"I think that although they are not very capable, they are still somewhat competent."

"That's why they were included in the plan."

After saying all that,

Seeing that the Tongtian Sect Leader in front of him clearly possessed some slightly out-of-control magical power, Shi Yuan couldn't help but smile.
