The Human race healed the Wu tribe, and the Wu tribe participated as laborers, transporting the injured Humans and Wu.
On Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti saw that the Human and Wu tribes not only did not fight and injure each other, but instead merged into one tribe, their fortune greatly increasing!
Zhunti looked at Jieyin indignantly.
"Senior Brother, this Taishang truly has impressive means to have merged the Human and Wu tribes!"
Jieyin heard this and looked at Zhunti helplessly, shaking his head.
"Junior Brother, we should not pay too much attention to matters in the East! Now that the Human race is moving westward, let us also find some disciples with excellent aptitude to join our sect, so that we can spread our Western religion!"
Zhunti nodded in agreement. With the rise of the Daoist sect of the Sanqing, it was time for them to recruit some disciples to Mount Sumeru, otherwise, it would be quite unsightly for just the two of them on such a vast mountain.
However, even though the Human race had already begun to move westward, Zhunti became even more anxious as he watched them enter the West.
There were not a few disciples under the Sanqing of the Human race, all of whom were outstanding individuals. But why were the Humans who came to the West so dull in aptitude, far inferior to the disciples under the Sanqing?
They were all Humans, and he didn't know why the difference was so great! The twelve Golden Immortals under Yuanshi alone were extraordinary, let alone Xuandu and Zhenwu under Taishang!
Just as Zhunti was grumbling, Jieyin suddenly spoke.
"Junior Brother, look!"
Zhunti immediately followed Jieyin's gaze and saw a Human not far below. In the eyes of Jieyin and Zhunti, this Human emanated a dazzling light, like a human lantern!
Zhunti was overjoyed upon seeing this and laughed heartily.
"Senior Brother, it's an Immaculate True Body! Heaven truly blesses our West!"
Jieyin also showed a rare smile.
The two immediately made up their minds to recruit this person into the Western religion!
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances and immediately descended from the clouds, appearing before the Human.
The Human, seeing the two suddenly appear before him, looked at Zhunti and Jieyin with wariness.
"Who are you? Why do you block my path?"
Jieyin and Zhunti did not speak, but walked around him. After a full circle, Zhunti nodded to Jieyin, and Jieyin immediately began to murmur in a low voice.
As Jieyin's voice grew louder, the wariness in the Human's eyes gradually faded, and he even felt a sense of familiarity with the two.
Seeing that it was about time, Jieyin stopped and asked.
"Young man, are you willing to take me as your master?"
The Human knew that the two who suddenly appeared before him were definitely not ordinary people, and immediately said.
"This disciple is willing! Greetings, Master!"
Jieyin laughed heartily upon hearing this, saying "good" three times in a row.
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! From now on, you are my disciple. I bestow upon you the name Dizang!"
Zhunti looked at Jieyin and laughed heartily.
"Senior Brother's Dream Cultivation Technique is truly extraordinary!"
Jieyin shook his head and smiled.
"Alright, alright. Since Dizang has taken me as his master, the next disciple will join your sect!"
Then, Jieyin and Zhunti took Dizang and traveled around the West.
In the southwest, most of the Humans and Wu were healed under the treatment of Shennong and the disciples of the Medical School. Shennong and the others also planned to leave the southwest and return to their own tribes.
Chi You, seeing Shennong and the others about to leave, personally led the Wu tribe to escort the Human race out of the great mountains.
At the same time, Chi You also witnessed Shennong's miraculous abilities and wanted the Wu tribe to learn them, which would greatly improve the Wu tribe's vitality in the mountains.
Shennong did not refuse and directly said.
"If anyone among the Wu tribe wishes to learn medicine, they can come to our Shennong tribe!"
Chi You was overjoyed when Shennong agreed and, at their parting, invited the Human race to visit the Hundred Thousand Mountains often.
Since Jieyin and Zhunti took Dizang as their disciple, it seemed as if they had used up all their luck. They had traveled almost all over the West but could not find any disciples they liked.
Just as Jieyin and Zhunti were about to give up, they finally encountered a disciple they favored.
Jieyin and Zhunti were surprised to still find a surprise when they were about to give up!
Jieyin did not compete with Zhunti, and Zhunti bestowed upon him the name Yaoguang.
When Jieyin and Zhunti brought Dizang and Yaoguang back to Mount Sumeru, they unexpectedly met an old acquaintance at the foot of Mount Sumeru – Daoist Randeng, who looked like he had been waiting at the foot of Mount Sumeru for quite some time.
Randeng immediately bowed when he saw Zhunti and Jieyin.
"Greetings to the two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti!"
Jieyin and Zhunti were dumbfounded upon seeing Randeng.
The two immediately recalled their lives in their minds, only to find that they had only met a few times in Zixiao Palace.
Jieyin could not figure out Randeng's reason for coming to Mount Sumeru, so he stopped thinking about it and said indifferently.
"May I know what important matter Daoist Randeng has in coming to our brothers' Mount Sumeru?"
Randeng was very displeased with Jieyin's condescending attitude, but he did not dare to act out due to their status as Saints. He could only blame himself for his incompetence. They were from the same era, yet others had already become Saints while he was still stagnant. He could only endure it silently.
Randeng suppressed his displeasure and dared not show any signs of it. He respectfully replied.
"Reporting to the Saints, Randeng has come specifically to pledge allegiance!"
Jieyin's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He immediately changed his previous attitude and affectionately held Randeng's hands.
"Daoist, you have traveled a long distance. Please come up the mountain and be seated!"
Zhunti, seeing his senior brother's 180-degree change in attitude, followed suit.
"Indeed, Daoist, please come up the mountain!"
Randeng silently cursed their shamelessness upon seeing their attitudes.
However, during Hongjun's sermon in Zixiao Palace, Randeng had witnessed their extraordinary methods, so he was not surprised.
Moreover, he had his own plans. Originally, he wanted to go to Kunlun Mountain, but on second thought, Kunlun did not lack him, and he would not receive attention if he went there. Therefore, Randeng went against the tide and came to Mount Sumeru.
It was just unfortunate that Jieyin and Zhunti were not at home. To show his sincerity, Randeng had been waiting at the foot of Mount Sumeru for their return.
Jieyin and Zhunti enthusiastically invited Randeng to Mount Sumeru. Jieyin and Zhunti even directly appointed Randeng as the Deputy Leader of the Western Religion.
Randeng was overjoyed. He knew he had come to the right place in the Western religion. Jieyin and Zhunti were solitary figures, and he would surely achieve great things in the Western religion. He had not expected to be directly offered a position as a leader, even if it was a deputy one. He was still second only to the two of them in the Western religion, and above ten thousand others!
Ahem, Randeng glanced at Dizang and Yaoguang behind Jieyin and Zhunti. Currently, he was second only to them, and above them!
However, Randeng did not care at all. The Western religion was, after all, a sect of Saints. Even if it wasn't now, it might be in the future!
