Chapter 19 Even the Innate Saints Follow the Trend
Everyone present knew that Shi Hao represented the will of the sage.
These words, spoken at this moment, are tantamount to the sage telling everyone that if they want to become his disciples, they must exchange rare and precious materials.
As Shi Hao finished speaking, the many powerful figures remained calm, showing no anger or astonishment on their faces.
Given the terrifying power of the sage, no one dared to openly display negative emotions.
However, each heart was filled with dissatisfaction.
Why?
Most people are willing to accept freebies, but few are willing to exchange them for real money.
Even the innate divine is no exception in this respect.
Previously, the cost of entering the palace gates amounted to a considerable amount of treasures held by many powerful figures.
Now, each of the innate saints faces a choice: to compete with more than three thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals in the hall for the position of one of the seven saintly disciples.
Moreover, this does not guarantee that obtaining the purple futon will necessarily make one a disciple of a sage.
However, the opportunity to become a disciple of a sage is one that many powerful beings cannot afford to ignore.
In their view, Hongjun was the first sage between heaven and earth, and his status was extremely noble.
After hearing his teachings, all living beings would acknowledge him as their teacher.
If one is exceptionally accepted as a disciple by a sage, the coveted method of becoming a sage may also be passed on to them.
Upon thinking of this, the hearts of many powerful beings became extremely fervent.
Di Jun's eyes flashed with light. He had figured it out. Since he was determined to compete for the position of the Sage's disciple, he would step forward to recommend the Sage and elevate him.
To be the first being to support a sage, even though it will ultimately cost a great deal of treasure, is worthwhile if it earns the sage's slightest appreciation.
"What this celestial child says is correct; I wholeheartedly agree. The Dharma should not be lightly passed on, and the Dao should not be sold cheaply!"
Suddenly, Di Jun stood up, his whole body radiating the true fire of the sun. He looked like a golden sun, blazing and dazzling.
At this moment, his second brother, Taiyi, also stood up and echoed Dijun's words.
"The sage is the first person in all of history to attain enlightenment and become a saint."
Taiyi turned to look at the assembled powerful figures and laughed, "The positions of disciples of the sages are mine to claim! You are all so indecisive, wanting to gain benefits without giving anything in return. Your shortsightedness is like that of a woman with long hair—how laughable!"
He and Dijun transformed together on the Fusang tree. The two brothers had been together for countless years and had long since developed a deep understanding of each other.
As Taiyi finished speaking, the two brothers immediately opened their sea of consciousness and took out all the treasures they had collected over the years, except for their respective companion magic weapons.
In an instant, divine light burst forth in the void, and the aura of innate spiritual treasures and divine materials spread like ripples to every corner.
"This is just a small token of our appreciation. These treasures, though they may seem like worthless junk to a sage, represent our brothers' aspirations for enlightenment!"
Di Jun said respectfully, and then he and Taiyi knelt on one knee to pay homage to Ling Xiao on the platform.
Ling Xiao was shrouded in divine light, and no one could see his expression.
His gaze fell on Dijun and Taiyi, and he thought to himself, "These two brothers are cunning and worldly-wise, and with their strong backgrounds, they can be called heroes."
Unfortunately, you have encountered the Dao of Sitting in Oblivion.
Since this Emperor Jun and Taiyi are the first to support me.
Then let's make you happy for now and give you the position of a disciple of a saint.
I will set an example so that others will see that supporting and flattering me will bring them benefits.
People pursue profit, and the fervor for profit can cause most people to lose their minds, fearing that if they are a step too late, they will miss out on everything.
Therefore, they would devote themselves to loyalty almost fanatically, learning from Di Jun and Tai Yi.
The resulting scene will completely shatter the resolve of those who are hesitant, causing them to anxiously pull out their resources.
Anyway, my goal is simply to extract value from everyone present.
Once it's done, leave.
Even if I were to promise you the position of apprentice, it would be nothing more than an empty promise.
Let's get the money, but where are you going to find me?
At that moment, the divine light surrounding Ling Xiao vanished instantly, and a halo of wisdom appeared behind his head, shining with holy light. He said, "Good! I see sincerity in you both. You respect and are devout to the Dao. I may accept one of you as my disciple."
Having said that, he flicked his sleeve, and the many treasures in the void were collected into his sea of consciousness.
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Jun and Tai Yi looked up abruptly, their faces flushed with excitement, and they naturally expressed their deepest gratitude.
Finally, after a brief discussion, the two brothers decided to let Dijun sit on the purple futon.
"The Sage has really taken on a disciple! That scoundrel Di Jun has become the Sage's eldest disciple?"
Dijiang was initially incredulous, but after calming down, jealousy suddenly flared in his eyes, and his fists clenched so tightly they made a loud thud.
In an instant, the powerful figures in the hall were all deeply shocked and their hearts surged with emotion.
They watched as Emperor Jun sat on a purple futon, only ten feet away from the altar.
The purple tide surrounding the sage continuously swept over Di Jun, causing his aura to rise steadily.
"Little sister, I, Fuxi, will give my all to make you a disciple of a sage!"
Having said that, Fuxi, following the example of Dijun and Taiyi, pointed at the group of powerful beings and sneered, "You are truly laughable. Even a sage hesitates to accept disciples, and you don't know how to cherish the opportunity right in front of you."
Then, he presented the many treasures to Shi Hao with both hands.
What does it matter if I offend the whole world for my sister?
Everyone has anger in their hearts, but who dares to make things difficult for those who support the saint in front of him?
Di Jun and Tai Yi were full of surprise. This Fuxi imitation was too perfect!
"Eldest brother, third brother, we, the Three Pure Ones, must become disciples of the sages! Quickly retrieve the treasure!"
"Hongyun, you have been my fellow Daoist for many years. May I borrow some of your treasures? I will return them to you later."
"Brother Zhen Yuanzi! You've really angered me. What kind of relationship do you have with me? You've already eaten most of the ginseng fruits in your Wuzhuang Temple! Take them, take them!"
In an instant, most of the powerful figures present took out their treasured spiritual treasures, divine materials, and elixirs, which they had kept for many years, and handed them all over to Shi Hao.
That's not all. They give it to you, but every time they do, they mock those who didn't.
It seems that this action has become the right thing to do and something that must be done.
Those innate deities who hesitated for a long time and were reluctant to give up their resources had to endure verbal attacks from the crowd again and again.
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub! I'm going to fight for myself!"
Many people gritted their teeth and reluctantly took out their resources, offering them to Shi Hao.
Thus, in order to secure these seven positions as disciples, it can be said that almost everyone present had emptied their pockets.
Ling Xiao sat on the platform, his expression calm, but his heart was pounding. These guys were no ordinary people. Today's harvest was so abundant that it shocked him.
The revival of the Western lands is promising, and he will even have a solid foundation to take on disciples and expand his power in the future.
Now all that's missing is to increase your cultivation level!
However, he was confident that if he could reap another harvest, he might be able to break through from the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Quasi-Saint in one fell swoop.
