Chapter 98: Chapter 98, Encounter with Zhunti "Bai Jin, your master still has some materials left here." Bai Jin’s eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his head in anticipation, looking at his master with bright, sparkling eyes, as if asking, "Master, do you find me cute?" Tongtian shifted the topic and suddenly said, "Your master plans to spread the Tao in the East Sea." Bai Jin’s smiling face instantly turned serious, abandoning his playful demeanor, and said solemnly, "Master, I object! We have only just gained a foothold in the East Sea. It would be better to take our time with recruiting disciples. Moreover, in the future, we must rigorously screen and select only the best. We cannot allow what happened before to happen again. A disciple who was casually accepted dared to resort to violence on Kunlun Mountain; it’s simply lawless. How can such a person become a disciple of our Jie Sect?" Tongtian smiled and nodded, saying, "Bai Jin, you make sense. Very well, your master will wait a bit longer." Bai Jin let out a sigh of relief, bowed, and said, "Master is wise!" Tongtian then suddenly mentioned, "Right, your Eldest Uncle is also building a Tao Palace and might have some leftover materials." Bai Jin’s eyes lit up again, and he hurriedly bowed, annoyed, and said, "Master, you said yesterday that I should go to pay respects to Eldest Uncle. I actually forgot about such an important matter. Please send me there, and I will go to greet Eldest Uncle immediately." Tongtian smiled and said, "It’s rare for you to show such filial respect. Stay with him for a few days longer and keep him company." "Yes!" Bai Jin responded with joy. With a wave of Tongtian’s hand, Bai Jin’s figure vanished instantly. Inside the great hall, Tongtian immediately called out, "Wudang~" The Wudang Saint walked in from outside, bowed, and said, "Master~" "Spread the word that your master intends to recruit a wide array of disciples. All those who are fated can come and pay homage." The Wudang Saint hesitated, then with some uncertainty said, "Master, shouldn’t the task of recruiting disciples be entrusted to junior brother Bai Jin? He is the Outer Disciple Leader after all." Tongtian coughed, saying, "Bai Jin has other matters to attend to and has already gone to the Primordial Land. You will oversee the recruitment this time, opening our doors wide to all." The Wudang Saint could only comply, "Yes! Your disciple understands." She turned and walked outside. ... The vast expanse of the Primordial World, all life robust and wild. A flash of light, and Bai Jin instantly appeared amidst a mountain range. Bai Jin shook his dazed head, looked up and around; animal roars and ape cries, eagles soaring and tigers roaring; desolation as far as the eye could see, with no sign of humans. Where is this? Bai Jin released the power of his Primordial Spirit, covering tens of thousands of miles but could not detect the slightest trace of a Taoist temple; not to mention a Taoist temple, there were only little monsters and no sign of a Great Cultivator. Bai Jin was immediately stupefied. Did Master send me to the wrong place? Where am I? I don’t know the way! At once, Bai Jin soared on a cloud, flying towards the distance, observing all around. With my merits, I should turn danger into safety, right? Reclusive Great Powers, quickly reveal yourselves, a Fellow Daoist here is lost. Three days passed, and Bai Jin crossed through high mountains and great rivers, traversed plains for thirty thousand miles, but never saw a shadow of any Great Ability Cultivator, which speaks to the utter desolation of this place. "Ha ha~ Where is my nephew headed?" As Bai Jin hurriedly advanced, a voice suddenly rang out. "" Bai Jin felt a surge of joy in her heart, encountering a Great Power? She promptly halted her Cloud Head, looking around. "Come down~" Bai Jin only felt a blur before her eyes, and in an instant, she appeared in a valley. In the valley sat a handsome young man in white clothing, perched atop a giant flower, before whom kneeled an old woman. Bai Jin exclaimed, "Uncle Master!" She instinctively took two steps back, thinking to herself whether this was good or bad luck. She raised her guard greatly, for the youth before her was none other than the Western Saint Zhunti, whom her master had said was coveting her for a long time. Zhunti placed his hand on the old woman’s head, speaking gently, "You have a destiny with our Western Sect. Enlightened today to your true heart, willing to take refuge, I bestow upon you the name Pilanpo, you may enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to listen to the Tao and refine your practices." The old woman, kneeling on the ground, knocked her head on the floor with excitement, exclaiming, "Thank you, Saint! Thank you, Saint!" Zhunti said softly, "Rise!" The old woman got up immediately and stood behind Saint Zhunti, with a solemn expression. Zhunti looked at Bai Jin with a smile and said, "Little junior niece, you seem quite afraid of me? Why is that?" Bai Jin quickly made a deep bow with respect, speaking earnestly, "I am not afraid of Uncle Master, I only respect Uncle Master." Zhunti laughed heartily, "Little junior niece is wise in speech. Those who make people fear them are but demons, while those who make all living beings respect them are truly divine." "That’s very true, Uncle Master!" "Little junior niece, you’re not in the East Sea, how did you end up in this desolate place?" Bai Jin said without words, "I also don’t know! Master said he was sending me to find Eldest Uncle, but as soon as I appeared, I was nearby." Zhunti eyed Bai Jin, pondering in his heart, there’s still a million miles from here to Shouyang Mountain. Tongtian purposefully brought Bai Jin here, not wanting her to meet Senior Brother Taishang! A smile crept at the corners of his mouth. Although he didn’t know what had happened, disrupting the plans of Brother Tongtian was quite amusing. Zhunti spoke slowly, "South of Buzhou Mountain, not far from the ancestral lands of the Human Clan, there lies a range of mountains. The main peak is not tall but is vast and known for its great virtue, it is called Shouyang Mountain. The Taoist place of Senior Brother Taishang is on that Shouyang Mountain, and from here, the distance is a million miles." Bai Jin’s expression faltered, a million miles? Why did Master leave me here? Are his eyes failing him, or did he drink too much? Bai Jin looked at the Saint Zhunti in front of her and quickly made a bow, saying with a full smile, "I have long heard that the two Uncle Masters of the West practice the Way of Compassion and Mercy, saving all sentient beings. Please, Uncle Master, save me." Zhunti gave a faint smile and nodded, "Well! To meet is to be destined, I shall send little junior niece to Shouyang Mountain." Bai Jin hurriedly expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Uncle Master." Zhunti said with a smile, "To meet is to have a connection. Little junior niece, would you like to hear me talk about the Tao for a bit?" Bai Jin felt speechless inside, another talk on the Tao? What’s with these Saints? One by one, they all want to talk about the Tao! Recently after listening to a Saint talking about the Tao, it left her mind in turmoil, almost to the point of being tortured to the point of vomiting. Bai Jin was a bit lost in thought for a moment, with Zhunti looking at her with a smile, thinking listening to a Saint talk about the Tao must be overwhelmingly exciting, isn’t it? "Little junior niece, no need to be too touched, although we differ as East and West, in truth, we both follow the teachings of Hong Jun’s Taoist Method. I address Tongtian as a brother, and you are also my junior, we are all family. If you ever wish to listen to the Tao, feel free to visit me in the West," said Zhunti with a smile. Bai Jin snapped back to reality, quickly bowed deeply with great emotion, "Such great kindness from Uncle Master, I am at a loss on how to repay. But I truly have an urgent matter and must meet Eldest Uncle, with no time to listen to the Tao. In the future, I will surely visit the West in person to hear Uncle Master’s great teachings." Zhunti looked at Bai Jin, chortling, "Well then! Since you have urgent business, this is for you." He stretched out his hand and a yellow scripture emerged in his palm. The scripture floated towards Bai Jin, hovering in front of her with the title "Great Dream Heart Scripture" in bold letters. Bai Jin took the scripture with one swoop, expressing her gratitude, "Thank you, Uncle Master." Zhunti was slightly stunned, just like that she took it? When he offered it to Ran Deng back then, he declined several times, but you don’t seem to hesitate at all.
