The fragrance, which brings wisdom and enlightenment, permeates the air.
Within the Immortal Bud, there was a Bodhi Demon who, like the Azure Lotus Demon, chose to sever its connection with the Immortal Bodhi Tree, refining the Immortal Bodhi Tree itself into a peerless treasure embryo.
It also took the form of a young child, holding a peerless treasure embryo refined from the Bodhi tree itself, and slowly stepped out, uttering its own voice:
"The body is a Bodhi tree, the mind a bright mirror stand; constantly wipe it clean, lest it be covered with dust."
As soon as the words fell, Bodhi Demon, with her youthful face, wore the same sorrowful expression as the Amitabha Buddha Emperor.
He walked up to the flamboyant Azure Lotus Demon standing on the lotus and stopped beside her.
Then, he clasped his hands together, faced Zhou Xuan respectfully, and bowed deeply to the ground as if paying homage to a master, and began to speak:
"Disciple Subhuti greets Master!"
Chapter 50 The struggle for the position of senior disciple has always been like this.
With a bow, the Daoist patterns surrounding Yan Qingqing, the lotus demon, and Subhuti, the bodhi demon, vanished completely.
Looking at these two beings, whose appearances were as youthful as two or three-year-old children, who were transformed from the immortal medicine, Zhou Xuan nodded slightly in agreement and spoke:
"Get up!"
"Since you have accepted me as your master, you must abide by my rules."
"Our Qingyun Sect has only one rule: respect teachers and value the way, and unite fellow disciples."
"brush!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xuan raised his hand and waved it. The young novice monk Shakyamuni, who was chatting with the talkative Emperor's weapon, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, and stealing chickens and dogs, also flew over and landed in front of Yan Qing and Subhuti.
With a bald head adorned with dragon feathers and holding a large dragon egg in his hands, the young novice monk, Shakyamuni, his round eyes filled with confusion, secretly hid the dragon egg behind his back, saying:
"Master? What's wrong?!"
Looking at the egg, which was five or six times larger than the head of the little novice monk Shakyamuni, the little novice monk's small body couldn't possibly contain it.
Zhou Xuan's lips twitched slightly, and he raised his hand and made a sweeping motion.
The talkative Emperor's weapon, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, which was trying to escape, was pulled in front of Zhou Xuan.
Also revealed was a large green bronze cauldron, two or three parts of which were missing, its entire body radiating celestial light.
The great cauldron appeared, its entire surface surrounded by supreme Dao array patterns. From the very spot where the demon-subduing pestle had been silent, a sound suddenly rang out:
"Holy Body, what are you doing!"
"What?!"
Hearing the frantic sounds of the Vajra Pestle, Zhou Xuan, whose eyes were twitching, snorted coldly:
"Hehe, well said. My eldest disciple was originally such a well-behaved child!"
"We've only been with you for a short time, and you've already started stealing chickens and dogs!"
"My disciple is too young to be punished at the moment, but as his master, I must punish you, the culprit!"
Zhou Xuan, whose voice grew increasingly sinister as he spoke, directly raised his hand and pointed towards the Myriad Origin Cauldron, saying:
"Give me the Cauldron of All Things to suppress this!!!"
"boom!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cauldron burst forth with immortal light, dazzlingly bright. The Myriad Origin Cauldron, from which three thousand strands of immortal light hung from its mouth, suddenly unleashed the unique Dao of immortal artifacts!
"Hey Hey hey!"
Sensing the vast and terrifying fluctuations emanating from the Origin Cauldron of All Things, forged by the Great Emperor Amitabha himself, and following the fully realized Great Emperor Amitabha, strictly adhering to the precepts; yet following the little novice Shakyamuni, who had completely opened his heart to the Vajra Pestle, a voice filled with terror rang out:
"Holy Body, don't joke around, doing this will damage the Vajra Pestle..."
"Qiang!!!"
However, before the Demon-Subduing Pestle could finish speaking, the All-Knowing Cauldron that suppressed all things crashed down, forcefully pressing down on the Demon-Subduing Pestle, which was facing outwards.
Seeing this, Yan Qing and Subhuti exchanged bewildered glances, while the young novice Shakyamuni stepped forward, tugged at Zhou Xuan's sleeve, and spoke:
"Master, it was my fault, please don't punish Xiaochu."
"No, if you're wrong, you have to admit it, and if you get hit, you have to stand firm."
"This thing has corrupted my disciple; he must be suppressed for fifteen years, not a single year less!"
Zhou Xuan refused the young novice Shakyamuni's plea, then turned to look at the Azure Lotus Demon Yan Qing and the Bodhi Demon Subhuti, saying:
"As for you..."
“Master, Yan Qing (Subhuti) will certainly respect his teacher and uphold the Way, and unite with his fellow disciples…”
Having witnessed Zhou Xuan suppress the demon-subduing pestle, the two immediately offered their assurances.
"Well said!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan glanced at the two of them and then smirked, saying:
"Then why did you remain silent when your senior brother pleaded with me?!"
Yan Qing (Subhuti): "Uh..."
Before the two could speak, Zhou Xuan flicked his finger slightly, and two beams of light flew towards Yan Qing and Subhuti.
A faint light swept in, and the lotus embryo in Yan Qing's palm and the bodhi embryo in Subhuti's palm instantly shone.
"brush!"
However, the Azure Lotus Embryo and the Bodhi Embryo, although possessing the potential to become Immortal King Soldiers.
However, at this moment, the two were still too weak, so weak that even a mere glimmer of light casually scattered by Zhou Xuan could obscure and plunder them!
In the blink of an eye, the Azure Lotus Embryo and the Bodhi Embryo were directly separated from Yan Qing and Subhuti's palms and fell into Zhou Xuan's hands.
At the same time, Yan Qing and Subhuti, just like the Vajra Pestle that had just been suppressed, were pressed down by the giant hands formed from the two points of light, with their buttocks facing outwards.
"When you took human form, I told you that weapons are merely external objects; only strength is your greatest reliance!"
“You just wouldn’t listen. You insisted on severing the causal link between yourselves and the body of the Elixir of Immortality. The flawless Holy Spirit, who was only one step away from attaining enlightenment from the moment of its birth, was downgraded to a demon spirit and the body of the Elixir of Immortality was refined into a precious embryo.”
"Now you see the results!"
"A precious embryo forged from the elixir of immortality can even suppress and plunder a Great Saint-level combatant!"
"And if you were to become flawless Holy Spirits, even your master might be defeated by you..."
After endlessly venting their resentment at the fact that the Azure Lotus Demon and the Bodhi Demon refused to listen to reason and insisted on severing their causal connection with the Elixir of Immortality, thus degrading themselves to demon status, they finally let out their rant.
Zhou Xuan stepped forward, raised his hand, and slapped Yan Qing and Subhuti's buttocks, which were facing outwards, several times.
Just now, the two, whose faces were flushed, were released and it was said:
"Considering your youth and that this is your first offense against the rules of Qingyun Sect, we will punish you with a small reprimand as a warning."
"If you dare to commit this offense again, the punishment will be doubled!"
"brush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xuan tossed the Azure Lotus Embryo and the Bodhi Embryo to the two of them like trash.
The two people who received the precious embryo blushed and pouted as if about to cry.
"Om!!"
Zhou Xuan's fingertips glowed slightly, followed by a point of spiritual light that transformed into a giant hand that fell from the sky.
The moment they saw the giant hand, Yan Qing and Xu Puti, who had just been pressed down on the bottom with their buttocks facing outwards, were shocked.
The next second, Yan Qing and Subhuti's severe shock was replaced by ease.
The reason was that the giant hand was falling not towards him, but towards the young novice monk Shakyamuni, who had a bald head and a giant egg hidden behind his buttocks.
"Pfft!"
"We can't favor one over the other. Whatever they have, you, as the senior brother, should also have."
Seeing the young Shakyamuni monk's legs twitching wildly, Zhou Xuan, who found it increasingly amusing to tease a child, stepped forward with a wicked grin and slapped the young Shakyamuni monk's buttocks hard a few times.
After spanking the little novice monk Shakyamuni until his buttocks were red, he finally released the little novice monk Shakyamuni with a look of relief.
Looking at the little novice monk Shakyamuni with his bright red bottom, Yan Qing and Subhuti grinned and giggled.
However, the moment Zhou Xuan turned his head, the two quickly covered their mouths, feeling guilty, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the sobbing novice monk.
"The punishment is over, it's time for your spiritual practice."
Looking at the three little ones, Zhou Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged, raised his hand and pointed.
The essence of heaven and earth, intertwined, condensed into substance and formed three prayer cushions.
After gesturing for the three to sit upright on the prayer cushions, Zhou Xuan spoke:
“Although the three of you have your flaws, you are all exceptionally talented. If you study and practice diligently, you will surely achieve great things.”
"Here I have many classics, including the Amitabha Emperor Sutra, the Stone Emperor Sutra, the Taiyin True Sutra, the Taiyang True Sutra, the Feathered Emperor Sutra, the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor Sutra, the Undying Heavenly Skill, the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Skill, and the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Skill."
When the emperor preached the Dao, Heaven and Earth responded.
Every time Zhou Xuan uttered a scripture, various meanings of the scripture would appear in mid-air, connecting with the great Dao of Heaven and Earth that existed in the darkness, forming the Daoist charm of the scripture and manifesting itself.
In a short while, there may be all sorts of strange phenomena, such as the boundless power of Buddhism, the astonishing stone figures, the dark abyss of the moon, the great sun, transcendence, the absorption of all things, the undying transformation, traversing countless worlds, or the roar of divine statues.
They then appeared one after another.
Looking up at the various strange phenomena that appeared in the sky.
Zhou Xuan spoke:
"People choose the path, and the path chooses people. All the imperial scriptures that I have mastered were created by our ancestors."
"If you are not gifted enough, my only requirement is that you follow the classics you have chosen and forge ahead without hesitation."
"However, since you are all exceptionally talented, my expectations of you will naturally be raised accordingly..."
"However, the master can only lead you through the door; the cultivation is up to you."
At this point, Zhou Xuan looked at the three little ones with shining eyes and slowly said:
"Even though you have become my disciples, I will not force you to take that path; I will only give you a choice."
