Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

Chapter 48 The Members of the Intercepting Sect

On Jin'ao Island, buildings rise up one after another, row upon row, with eaves soaring high, intricately designed, covered walkways soaring through the air, long bridges lying across the water, and pavilions everywhere.

The soil naturally splits, the rocks separate and then come together, and mountains and rivers appear, running through the building complex.

The entire complex is predominantly blue, with blue jade tiles, white jade walls, redwood railings, and gray stone steps.

Lingbao nodded in satisfaction and flew to the most magnificent main hall in the very center of the entire complex.

He leaped into the air, drawing three gilded Taoist characters on a blue background, which were then engraved on the plaque of the main hall.

On the sea, Yunxiao and the others were dumbfounded, having never seen such a spectacular sight before.

This master actually possesses such great power!

"It's done!"

Standing in front of the palace gate, Lingbao clapped his hands and muttered to himself, then shouted at the crowd on the sea.

"Come here, my disciples, let's choose houses!"

Each person used their escape techniques, and seven-colored streaks of light flashed across the sky above the East Sea, arriving at the palace gate in the blink of an eye.

Lingbao looked at the Jie Sect members in front of him with some excitement. His sect was finally taking shape, with palaces, genealogies, a leader, followers, and disciples. Although there weren't many people, it was small but complete.

He pointed and said.

"Gui Ling, you're the eldest sister, you choose first."

"Huh? Me?"

Gui Ling was taken aback. The new junior brothers and sisters were all stronger than her and had great talent. She thought she would be the last one to be chosen.

"What else can I do? Wait for me to choose for you?"

Lingbao was eager to bestow ordination upon his disciples and record their names in the genealogy. He was so excited as he was about to give people their first Taoist names.

Therefore, I couldn't help but urge them on.

"Oh, thank you, Master."

The tortoise spirit quickly took to the air, looked down at Jin'ao Island, and chose the hall closest to the main hall.

She wanted to be closer to Lingbao.

"Disciple has made up their mind; this is the one."

The girl's delicate body slowly descended, and the tortoise spirit told Lingbao the location of the chosen palace.

"Alright, second brother, you choose."

Lingbao nodded slightly and pointed to Zhao Gongming, arranging them according to the order in which the four people from the Three Immortal Islands had taken human form.

When did I become number two?

Zhao Gongming was somewhat speechless at the title, but he actually quite liked Lingbao's carefree manner. As a natural being, Lingbao naturally disliked being restrained.

Taking off, Zhao Gongming chose a spot he found agreeable and, after landing, told Lingbao the location.

Subsequently, Yunxiao also chose her own residence, which was next to Zhao Gongming's palace, while Bixiao and Qiongxiao lived with Yunxiao.

"Jin'ao, the elders are opening a separate peak. You can choose a suitable mountain yourself and build your own palace."

After the five disciples were chosen, Lingbao settled Jin'ao in place, and Jin'ao bowed and agreed.

It's strange that even though it's his physical body, he has to choose a piece of it himself.

"Third brother, what about me?"

Seeing that Lingbao didn't intend to speak again, Xu Qing stepped forward, first pointing to himself, then staring blankly at Lingbao, "I've been running around doing all this, and I don't even have a palace, do I?"

Lingbao revealed a smug smile, snorted, and clicked his tongue.

"There's no mountain stronghold here. Who told you not to be the vice leader of my Jie Sect? Go to the Blood Sea yourself."

"Why are you getting more and more petty? Fine, if you don't want it, then don't," Xu Qing rolled her eyes at him and said.

"Alright, alright, you don't have any for me, right? Then what's yours is mine. You'll meditate in your main hall today."

There's no such thing as today. We're just recording the genealogy and about to head to Kunlun Mountain.

Lingbao silently recited the mantra, then waved to his five disciples, signaling them to enter the hall.

Upon entering the hall, it was completely empty, with only 361 large white jade and gilded pillars and 720 large purple-gold and jade-inlaid beams in sight.

Although he was young and somewhat unruly without his elder brother's guidance, Lingbao still attached great importance to matters of the Daoist tradition and had long been prepared.

With a wave of his hand, six prayer cushions, an altar, and a plaque appeared in the empty hall.

A prayer mat lay before the altar, one in front and five behind, upon which rested an incense burner and two spirit tablets.

The incense burner was of an ancient and simple design, with two memorial tablets inscribed with the words "Heaven and Earth" and "Pangu" respectively.

The plaque is placed in the most conspicuous position in the hall, with the four large characters "截取遁一" written in gold on a red background.

Lingbao's expression turned serious, a rare occurrence, as he addressed the disciples behind him.

"Everyone, kneel down and worship Heaven, Earth, and the Father God."

As he spoke, he took out nine incense sticks and knelt on the prayer mat at the front.

"Yes."

The disciples all spoke in unison, each holding three sticks of incense, and knelt on the prayer mats behind them, arranging themselves according to the order in which they had chosen their palaces, and respectfully offered incense.

"Disciple Lingbao Daoist hereby confers ordination upon five disciples today, and hopes that Father God Pangu will bear witness."

The smoke from the incense wafted out. After bowing three times, Lingbao stood up, and five streams of emerald light flew out from his body.

There are five jade tablets, with the character "Jie" from the Jie Sect on the front and the names of the people engraved on the back.

"You are the first batch of disciples, and you have no three masters to worship, so let's keep things simple."

"Yes."

The disciples dared not be careless, each bowing their heads, then swearing to keep the precepts, and finally bowing three times to Lingbao.

After the ceremony, Lingbao recorded the names of all the disciples in order into the genealogy and placed the genealogy on the altar.

"Alright, get up, don't kneel and hurt yourselves."

After finishing his task, Lingbao returned to his original form, waving his hands and beckoning his disciples to get up.

"Yes, Master."

The five of them stood up, surprised that they were still immersed in the atmosphere while their master had already relaxed.

However, this kind of master... seems quite nice, the disciples thought.

Lingbao was still thinking about how Yuanshi had brought Li Xuan to his door to show off, and with his hands behind his back, he said again.

"Alright, besides the senior uncle at the door, you also have two senior uncles."

"I'll take you there in a bit. When we get there, remember to be polite."

Of course, showing off one's talent and exchanging skills with fellow disciples is certainly not impolite.

"Yes."

Led by Lingbao, the group filed out. Xu Qing, standing at the door, yawned, puzzled.

"Let's go, Kunlun Mountain."

Lingbao didn't explain much; he couldn't wait to see Yuanshi's expression when he saw his four disciples with innate talent. He must be very pleased.

Hmph, my good second brother...

Regardless of whether Xu Qing heard him clearly, he snapped his fingers, and the Kui Niu flew over with a thunderous roar. He rode on the Kui Niu and then raised a cloud of auspiciousness to lift up his disciple.

Then he left with five people and an ox.

"So urgent?"

Xu Qing knew Lingbao wanted to get revenge, but he didn't expect him to be in such a hurry, so he had no choice but to follow.

The seven men and six oxen continued westward. The Kunlun Mountains were second only to the Buzhou Mountains in height, almost reaching the sky. They looked from afar, but were getting closer and closer.

On the way, they also saw the extraordinary phenomena of Jieyin and Zhunti becoming saints: golden lotuses, purple mist, and auspicious clouds of merit.

They made a great vow to establish the Western religion, and their merits were bestowed upon the world, resulting in both brothers becoming saints at the same time.

As the sun rose and the moon set, because he was carrying people and riding a Kui ox, this time it was a bit slower than usual.

The sun occasionally roamed the sky, but it was relatively restrained. The weather on earth became a bit hot, and some water sources dried up, but no casualties were caused.

"One day, two days..."

Qiongxiao and Bixiao were getting restless. They counted the days on their fingers, and finally, the Jie Sect members and Xu Qing arrived at Kunlun Mountain and Yuxu Palace.
