Di Jun finished tidying up, and Tai Yi pestered Fu Sang.
"Senior, shall we set off for Kunlun now? Senior!"
"Alright, alright! We'll set off now, I can't stand you any longer!"
Fu Sang, unable to resist Tai Yi's pestering, reluctantly agreed. He returned to the Fusang tree, formed a hand seal, and sent out streaks of golden light into the tree.
As the golden light entered the Fusang tree, it began to emit a dazzling golden glow. Visibly, it slowly shrank, and in a short while, it was no larger than a palm. Fu Sang reached out and beckoned, and the Fusang tree flew into his hand.
Seeing that Fu Sang was ready, Tai Yi immediately pestered Di Jun again:
"Brother, let's go! Brother!"
Di Jun was also unable to do anything about Tai Yi, so the three of them left the Sun Star and headed towards Mount Kunlun.
When the three arrived at Mount Kunlun, Tai Yi saw that the mountain was protected by a great formation. He then shouted towards Mount Kunlun:
"Master! Master! Master! Your disciple has come to see you! Open the gate quickly!"
Di Jun and Fu Sang saw Tai Yi's embarrassing display and covered their foreheads, both stating they had never seen anyone so shameless.
On Shangqing Peak within Mount Kunlun, Qi Chen heard Tai Yi's voice and said to Duo Bao:
"Junior Brother Duo Bao, has our Master taken another disciple?"
Duo Bao also looked at Qi Chen with confusion. Seeing Duo Bao's gaze, Qi Chen knew he had spoken unnecessarily.
So, Qi Chen led Duo Bao towards the mountain's edge.
Qi Chen and Duo Bao saw three people from afar. One of them looked somewhat familiar. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was Fu Sang, who had visited Kunlun as a guest not long ago!
Qi Chen and Duo Bao arrived in front of Tai Yi and the other two. A protective shield of the Kunlun mountain-guarding formation separated them.
Qi Chen bowed and said:
"Senior Fu Sang, may I ask what brings you here?"
Upon seeing Qi Chen, Fu Sang replied:
"Qi Chen! Where are the three fellow Daoists?"
"Replying to Senior, Master and Senior Uncles are in seclusion!"
Fu Sang's heart sank. Had they just arrived and were they about to dismantle the mountain-guarding formation?
How would they have the face to stay in Kunlun in the future?
Di Jun said with a wry smile:
"It seems we've truly come at the wrong time!"
Tai Yi was immediately displeased and said to Di Jun:
"Big Brother, with your formation cultivation, can you let us in?"
Di Jun shook his head and said to Tai Yi:
"I cannot. Tong Tian Daoist's formation cultivation is even higher than mine. If we must enter, I fear we can only force our way in!"
Tai Yi was immediately disdainful:
"Big Brother, you're too noob, unable to handle even one formation."
Di Jun was instantly displeased and playfully bonked Tai Yi on the head, pretending to be stern: "Su Dan Novel Network"
"Are you forgetting your brother now that you have a Master? Besides, do you think this is easy? Looking at this formation, it should be the one Tong Tian Daoist mentioned when we debated, which he newly created. Although this formation appears as one, it actually contains myriad complexities. How can it be easily broken!"
Fu Sang also said to Tai Yi:
"Alright, Tai Yi, don't be too unruly!"
He then turned to Qi Chen and Duo Bao and said:
"Two young friends, allow me to introduce. This is Di Jun, and this is Tai Yi. They are also disciples of your Second Senior Uncle. Can you see if you can let us in!"
Upon hearing Fu Sang's words, Tai Yi's eyes lit up, and he eagerly stared at Qi Chen and Duo Bao!
When Qi Chen and Duo Bao heard that they were Yuan Shi's disciples, they also became enthusiastic and said to Tai Yi: "Junior Brother, please wait a moment. Your elder brother will find a way to let you in!"
Saying that, they headed towards Taiqing Peak.
After Qi Chen left, Tai Yi looked at Fu Sang doubtfully and asked:
"Senior Fu Sang, why did he call me Junior Brother! He is a disciple of Uncle Tong Tian, and I am a disciple of Master. How can he call me Junior Brother?"
Fu Sang laughed heartily upon hearing this:
"I forgot to tell you. The one who left is named Qi Chen. He is the eldest disciple personally chosen by Tai Shang Daoist. Not only do you have to call him Senior Brother, but even Tai Shang Daoist's future disciples will have to call him Senior Eldest Brother!"
Tai Yi's face immediately fell. So, I'll have to call him Senior Eldest Brother from now on?
Seeing Tai Yi's expression, Di Jun burst into laughter:
"You'll have to get along with him well from now on, or your Master might expel you. You should have seen on the Sun Star that your Master values seniority and hierarchy very much!"
Tai Yi pouted at Di Jun's teasing and muttered softly:
"Bad brother! Hmph!"
Seeing Tai Yi's expression, Di Jun felt a sense of satisfaction. After all, Tai Yi had just called him useless. Di Jun silently thought to himself, "Later, I must ask Yuan Shi Daoist to properly discipline this brat. I can't bear to be harsh on him, but others can. Especially his Master. Otherwise, this brat will be lawless."
After Qi Chen left Tai Yi and the others, he immediately headed towards Taiqing Peak. Upon arriving at Taiqing Peak, he went directly to the medicinal field. He found Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao and immediately said to them:
"Jin Jiao, Yin Jiao, lend me your tokens!"
Jin Jiao asked doubtfully:
"Young Master Chen, don't you have one? What do you need our tokens for?"
Qi Chen said happily:
"Our great family has gained another member. They are waiting outside the gate, but Master and Senior Uncles are in seclusion, so I'm borrowing your tokens to bring them in!"
Yin Jiao said doubtfully upon hearing this:
"Young Master Chen, are you mistaken? The three Masters are not in seclusion!"
Qi Chen was stunned for a moment and said:
"Aren't Master and my two Senior Uncles in seclusion? Otherwise, why hasn't my Master returned to Shangqing Peak? If not seclusion, then what is it?"
Jin Jiao smiled and said:
"Young Master Chen, you're mistaken. The three Masters are indeed not in seclusion, but they are all cultivating in Taiqing Palace!"
Qi Chen was immediately excited and headed towards Taiqing Palace.
Upon arriving at Taiqing Palace, Qi Chen immediately shouted inside:
"Master, Senior Uncles, your disciple Qi Lin requests an audience!"
Li Yi, Yuan Shi, and Tong Tian, who were cultivating in the Chaos Pearl, heard Qi Chen's voice and immediately opened their eyes!
Li Yi said to Yuan Shi and Tong Tian:
"Second Brother, Third Brother, why is Chen'er not cultivating on Shangqing Peak and coming here?"
Tong Tian chuckled:
"Could this brat have learned everything I taught him? Seeing that I'm here with Big Brother, is he looking for me?"
Yuan Shi also said:
"We'll know once we go out and see!"
Li Yi nodded, led the two out of the Chaos Pearl, and appeared in Taiqing Palace. Li Yi said to the outside:
"Come in!"
Qi Chen entered and bowed upon seeing Li Yi, Yuan Shi, and Tong Tian:
"Greetings, Master, greetings to my two Senior Uncles!"
Tong Tian immediately said:
"Alright, alright, get up. What is it?"
Qi Chen immediately said:
"Master, three people have arrived outside the mountain. One of them claims to be Second Senior Uncle's disciple!"
Tong Tian immediately turned to Yuan Shi and said:
"Second Brother, I didn't realize! You have a disciple? Why didn't you bring him back for me and Big Brother to see!"
Yuan Shi, after hearing Qi Chen's words, also looked confused and said to Tong Tian:
"Third Brother, don't talk nonsense! Where did I take any disciples? My only disciple now is Tai Yi, and they should be on the Sun Star!"
Seeing Yuan Shi say this, Qi Chen was puzzled:
"Could it be that someone wants to become Second Senior Uncle's disciple, and Second Senior Uncle didn't agree, so they followed him to Kunlun!"
Since Yuan Shi said he hadn't taken any disciples, Qi Chen then said:
"Right, Master, Senior Uncles, also Senior Fu Sang, who visited our Kunlun a few days ago, has also arrived. They are together!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi instantly knew who it was and said to Yuan Shi and Tong Tian:
"Second Brother, Third Brother, it seems we have distinguished guests. Let's go and welcome them together!"
With that, Li Yi headed outside. Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, seeing this, immediately followed Li Yi!
After Li Yi and the three left, Qi Chen only then reacted and shouted to Tong Tian:
"Master, take me with you!"
Tong Tian ignored Qi Chen and closely followed Li Yi.
Helpless, Qi Chen headed towards the mountain gate.
