Chapter 619 Lighting the Lantern

Just as Zhunti said, the West is barren, and generally speaking, not many creatures are willing to come to the West. Therefore, even if the entire prehistoric world announces that the West is recruiting disciples, there will be very few people coming to the West! The Three Pure Ones will not care at all!

What's more, since those non-Western monks voluntarily joined the Western religion, it naturally meant that they had no chance to be with the Three Pure Ones. Given the Three Pure Ones' arrogant nature, how could they force them to join their sect?

After ensuring that Yuqing and Shangqing would not come knocking on their door, Jieyin and Zhunti activated their holy powers and said to all sentient beings in the prehistoric world: "I, Jieyin (Zunti), see the suffering of sentient beings, and wish to open the door of convenience in the West to educate sentient beings and persuade them to be good. Anyone who is predestined can come, join the Western religion, and share the bliss!"

With the oath of Jie Yin and Zhunti to accept disciples, there were very few people who responded except the sentient beings in the West. After all, as long as one has a little common sense about the prehistoric world, one can know what a mess the West is like!

However, some creatures who went to Kunlun Mountain to seek a master also wanted to leave a backup plan for themselves. If they could not join the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, then the Western Sect could also be a good place to go. After all, no matter how scarce the resources in the West were, the Western Sect was still a great sect of saints. Joining the Western Sect was definitely better than becoming a casual cultivator, living in uncertainty at any time, and having to rely on one's own exploration for everything!

Although Jie Yin and Zhunti had already prepared for the possibility that not many sentient beings would be willing to join Western religions, after seeing the tragic situation where basically only Western sentient beings were willing to come, Jie Yin and Zhunti felt helpless from the bottom of their hearts!

Helpless as they were, Jie Yin and Zhunti were not going to disappoint those who were willing to join their Western religion! Jie Yin and Zhunti knew very well that unless they were born in Mount Xumi, it would take at least hundreds of years for the remaining Western creatures to reach Mount Xumi. Some mortal creatures might even die on the way to Mount Xumi!

After some consideration, Jie Yin and Zhunti worked together to spread their holy power throughout the West to ensure that as long as anyone sincerely joined their Western religion, they would be blessed by the holy power of Jie Yin and Zhunti. After a hundred years, they would be able to come to the foot of Mount Sumeru to accept tests. As long as they passed the tests, they could join their Western religion regardless of their qualifications!

Time passed quickly. After seeing that most of the sentient beings willing to join the Western religion had arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru, Jie Yin and Zhunti began to preach their own teachings to test the sentient beings' understanding!

In the eyes of Jie Yin and Zhunti, understanding is actually more important than aptitude. After all, aptitude can be changed later, but understanding can only be improved by utilizing the few Bodhi seeds they have in the West!

Of course, if one's aptitude is really good, then it's okay if one's comprehension is a little bit worse. After all, in the ancient times, aptitude represents the lower limit of a living being. For example, those innate nine-tailed foxes in the same batch as Bai Zhen, as long as they do not die halfway, have enough time to grow, and are given the correct inheritance of skills, the Hunyuan Golden Immortal will only be the lower limit of their strength!

When those guys with excellent qualifications but poor comprehension grow to the limit of their qualifications in the future, the Western religion will use resources that can permanently or temporarily improve their comprehension to enhance their comprehension, thereby ensuring their upper limit!

As Jie Yin and Zhunti continued to preach, they also selected a number of good seedlings with enlightenment from these Western creatures. However, these good seedlings basically did not have the qualifications to compare with Yao Shi and his friends!

In addition to these good seedlings, Jie Yin and Zhunti also discovered an innate sacred person that they had not expected - Master Ran Deng!

Randang, Jie Yin and Zhunti were not unfamiliar with each other. Although Randang did not participate in the first two sermons in Zixiao Palace, he was, after all, one of the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace and a peer of theirs. Even though they had become saints now, they could not be too disrespectful to Randang!
