The first disciple of the Three Pure Ones, Little Sizi's immortal brother

To be honest, Yuanshi and Tongtian also found their elder brother's strange behavior very puzzling.

The eldest brother, who is usually quiet, actually talked so much with this kind-hearted man, Hongyun, this time.

However, it's not hard to understand: if you praise my child, then you're a good person.

If you keep praising my child, I can listen to you for a whole day!

Fortunately, this scene didn't last long. A male and female Taoist disciple walked out of the gate of Zixiao Palace, interrupting Taiqing and Hongyun's conversation. Otherwise, Yuanshi and Tongtian might not have recognized their elder brother.

"The master is already in the palace. The seats for listening to the sermon will remain the same this time. Please abide by the rules and do not fight," said the young Daoist Haotian. "Please come in, everyone."

The group of innate holy beings nodded in agreement, and not many people looked down on the two Daoist boys.

Even if he is a Daoist disciple, he is the only Daoist disciple of a saint in the entire prehistoric world, and he is not someone they can provoke.

Besides, didn't you see their cultivation level?

Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal! Second only to the Three Pure Ones, and top-tier innate saints like Emperor Jun and Taiyi!

The Three Pure Ones led Shi Ming directly into the Zixiao Palace without anyone stopping them. The two Daoist disciples only glanced at Shi Ming curiously before making no further reaction.

Seeing this, the Three Pure Ones felt somewhat relieved.

If the sage did not wish for Shi Ming to enter the Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao, then at this time, he should have had two Daoist boys obstruct him or set up some kind of obstacle.

But now, Shi Ming has safely entered Zixiao Palace, and there are no problems there.

However, to everyone's surprise, the six special prayer cushions that were supposed to be placed at the front were now seven!

"Hahahaha, it is only right that I take the seat of honor!" While everyone was stunned, Kunpeng was driven by greed and took the lead in making a move, taking advantage of his speed to arrive at the seventh futon first.

Just as Kunpeng was about to sit on it, an unstoppable force knocked him off the futon and sent him crashing back to the group of innate deities.

At this moment, after Kunpeng's "demonstration," everyone realized that this newly added futon already had an owner...

As for who it was prepared for?

None of the people present were fools; they could naturally guess what was going on.

This sermon just happened to have one more time marker, and only one more time marker, so the answer is naturally clear.

However, everyone was somewhat surprised at this moment. Why was Shi Ming so highly regarded by the Sage?

"Disciple, go up and give it a try." Taiqing then sat down on the first futon at this moment and looked at Shiming.

The newly added prayer mat is right next to Taiqing's prayer mat; perhaps it was arranged in advance.

Shi Ming nodded, and under the gaze of many powerful figures, walked to the prayer mat. Then, prepared to be blasted away, he plopped down on it.

The scene of being blasted away as imagined did not occur. Taiqing, who was preparing to catch Shiming, also withdrew his gaze with relief and was no longer ready to make a move at any moment.

"Hahaha, good, as expected of my Tongtian's nephew!" Tongtian laughed heartily, patted Shiming on the shoulder, and then sat down on his own futon.

Yuan Shi, on the other hand, was much calmer, but the slight upturn of his lips revealed his true state of mind.

He was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, so he was naturally very happy that Shi Ming had made them look good.

Just as Sanqing and Shiming were chatting happily, on the other side, Jieyin and Zhunti, who had sat on the prayer mats, kept glancing at Shiming.

"Junior brother, if only Ming were a disciple of our Western Sect, how wonderful that would be! Our Western Sect would surely prosper!" Jieyin said with a hint of regret.

If he had been willing to invest heavily that day, he might have already made it back by now.

Little did people know that Shi Ming had harbored a dislike for Zhunti and Jieyin from the very beginning, so why would he choose Zhunti and Jieyin?

Why make yourself unhappy every day?

"Senior brother, this Shi Ming and I are destined to meet!"

Zhunti, who had remained silent until now, spoke up, and his words were a bombshell. They abruptly ended the conversation between the Three Pure Ones and Shi Ming, and all four pairs of eyes turned to Zhunti.

The prayer mats weren't far apart to begin with, and since Zhunti and Jieyin weren't hiding their conversation, they could naturally hear them. What Jieyin said was one thing, but what Zhunti said…

Shi Ming had a guess. What Zhunti meant by fate was probably the bitter bamboo on his wrist.

After all, according to the original course of events, the Bitter Bamboo should have been obtained by Zhunti and refined into the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Six Roots Purification Bamboo. This was one of the spiritual treasures that Zhunti would use frequently in the future, so it was naturally an extremely important opportunity.

But now, this opportunity has been snatched away by Shi Ming, though not completely. So the "fate" that Zhunti sensed from him was most likely caused by Ku Zhu.

Shi Ming knew all this and guessed it, but the Three Pure Ones didn't!

All they know now is that their disciple has been targeted by two shameless bald monks!

Taiqing narrowed his eyes, his whisk poised to strike at any moment.

The original Yuanshi Tianzun had an empty hand now holding a jade ruyi, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Tongtian was even more direct, uttering harsh words.

"Gentlemen, I have no say in what you do in the East, but if my nephew suffers even the slightest mishap, I will raze your Mount Sumeru to the ground!"

"Gentlemen, please calm down. My junior brother is just too fond of your disciple. He has absolutely no ill intentions!" Jieyin quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. Otherwise, he was really afraid that after this sermon, the Three Pure Ones would directly attack Mount Sumeru.

As he spoke, Jieyin secretly blamed Zhunti. Normally, when he met someone weaker than himself, he would say something like "This thing is destined for me" or "You are destined for the West." But this was a direct reference to the Three Pure Ones. How could his junior brother's mind have become so dull?

At this moment, Zhunti realized what he had said and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Under Jieyin's prompting, he reluctantly took out a Bodhi seed.

"Young friend, these are precious Bodhi seeds from the West. They can enhance cultivation, temporarily purify the mind, and improve comprehension. I misspoke just now, please forgive me."

Shi Ming looked at Tai Qing, and seeing Tai Qing nod, he accepted the Bodhi seed.

"Um... young friend..." Seeing that Shi Ming had accepted the Bodhi seed, Zhunti was about to say something when Taiqing looked over.

"roll!"

With a furious shout, Zhunti was startled by the aura emanating from Taiqing. They were all top-tier innate saints, so why did Taiqing's strength feel so much higher than theirs?

Jieyin quickly pulled Zhunti aside, fearing that Zhunti might do something to anger the Three Pure Ones.

When Taiqing released his aura, many powerful beings sensed it as well. Even a fleeting moment was enough to startle them.

Shi Ming felt completely at ease; he felt incredibly safe!
