Chapter 9: Fight, the battle for the chief disciple!
"Master, I still don't accept it!"

Duobao suppressed his fear of Tongtian's anger and still shouted with his neck stiff, "Chief Disciple, your cultivation must not be low, otherwise how can you convince others? How can you protect other junior brothers and sisters?"

"When I entered the sect, I had just transformed into a human form, but my cultivation was at the stage of refining qi and transforming into spirit... But after only a few decades of practice, I have already reached the realm of celestial immortal! In terms of cultivation, combat power, and aptitude, I am far superior to Xiao Lin... Why did you choose him as your eldest disciple instead of me, Master?"

"Could it be that he gained some useless merits by creating some useless things?"

Duobao roared righteously, as if everyone else was blind and he was the only one who was absolutely right!
[You said that my cultivation is low and my aptitude is poor, I admit it... But this is the first time I know that merit is useless. ]

[No, is the knowledge of floods so barren?

[Even your master was able to transform and become a saint in the future because he inherited the merits of Pangu's original spirit... No, it should be that all saints rely on merits to become saints... The Tiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, which is known as the best defense in the prehistoric world, is also an acquired spiritual treasure condensed by acquired merits... With merits, one can be loved by heaven and earth, accelerate the understanding of the laws, prevent inner demons, and speed up the practice... How dare you say that merits are useless? ]

[Tsk tsk, even the Three Pure Ones disciples don’t know the function of merit… No wonder, I made ten merit-making items in a year, but no one came to ask me…]

Inside the hall, the Three Pure Ones looked at each other in bewilderment. Hongjun was also a saint, which meant that Hongjun also became a saint through merit... Well, they were too shallow. They really didn't know that merit had so many uses...

All we can say is that in the great battle between Taoism and Demons, only Hongjun survived, and the ancestors of the three tribes only gained karma... Therefore, all the people in the prehistoric world really know nothing except that merit can eliminate karma.

In the hall, Tongtian was afraid that the other disciples would think that he was ignorant, so he said decisively: "Yes, just based on the things he created that benefited the ancient world, just based on the merits he gained! You are not as good as him!"

"I don't accept it! Why?!"

Now that the fight has begun, Duobao will not admit defeat so easily! Even if it makes his master unhappy, he will still fight! At most, he can apologize later!
Anyway, Master ’s easy -to -heart and soft temperament, a few heads and a few tears, Master will forgive his violation.

"Why? Why do you say..."

Seeing that his disciple dared to talk back, Tongtian rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out of the hall to teach Duobao a lesson... Fortunately, there were two other people in the hall, each of them holding him down with one hand.

“Big brother, second brother, let me go!” Tongtian struggled, yelling that he wanted to go out and teach them a lesson: “Duobao, that little fat boy, has become so bold that he even dares not to listen to me… Let him go, and let me teach him a lesson about respecting teachers!”

"What's the point of teaching him a lesson now? He's already said it."

Yuanshi pulled Tongtian and said unhappily, "You didn't teach him a lesson on weekdays, but you're so impatient now? We can teach him a lesson later. Now let's solve the issue of the chief disciple first!"

As he said that, Yuanshi looked at Taishang: "Brother, what should we do now?"

When it comes to business, Tongtian stopped making a fuss... He was also very clear about the current situation. If Xiao Lin could not convince the others and take the position of the chief disciple, there would be many things that they would not be able to do in the future!
After all, it is not in its place and does not seek its politics!

"If merit is really as powerful as Xiao Lin said, then Duobao can't be his opponent."

The Supreme only thought about it and came up with a conclusion. He then opened his mouth and spoke, and his voice spread outside the hall: "Since there are disciples who are dissatisfied, then at the disciple-recruiting ceremony three years later, all the disciples of the Three Pure Ones can challenge Xiao Lin! The winner can become the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones and manage the affairs of all the disciples under the Three Pure Ones!"

Outside the palace, Xiao Lin was overjoyed and wanted to refuse immediately...

[Haha! That's great! There are two big holes in the Chan Sect and Jie Sect, whoever wants to fill them can do it! Duobao, don't you want to be the chief disciple? No need to compete, I'll give it to you right away! ]

“Master, I believe that my cultivation level…” Before he could finish his words, Tai Shang’s voice sounded again.

"If Xiao Lin fails and is deprived of the position of chief disciple, it means that you are not diligent in your practice and have failed the expectations of the Three Pure Ones. The original plan to promote you to a personal disciple will be abandoned. You will be expelled from Kunlun Mountain and will never have the chance to become a disciple of the Three Pure Ones again in this life!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lin was choked on the spot... At the scene, even Duobao, who wanted to become the chief disciple, was cautious in his words and dared not say anything rebellious or disobedient!
[Damn! This old guy Tai Shang is really forcing himself to take the top position! ]

[I, Xiao Lin, am just an iron-eating beast with innate deficiencies. I don’t have enough talent or cultivation… Why do you have to force me to do something?]

[Could it be that I was too diligent in earning merit before? After all, even if the lower levels don’t know the effect of merit, the Three Pure Ones can’t be unaware of it! ]

[Damn it, no wonder the ancients in the past said that wealth should not be shown off, and people should be low-key... Look, someone is targeting me, right? ]

[No, among the prehistoric sects, the Three Pure Ones are the safest, except for Tongtian... the direct disciple of the Supreme Saint. I absolutely cannot miss him...]

[Duobao Tathagata, little fat boy, I’m sorry! ]

"Xiao Linzi, what did you want to say just now?"

Inside the hall, Tongtian asked with ill intention.

Three black lines appeared on Xiao Lin's forehead: [I don't believe you don't know what I want to say! ]

"Disciple...I will obey the instructions of Master and my two uncles. I will live up to Master's high expectations at the disciple-taking ceremony in three years."

"Good! All right, everyone, leave!"

Tai Shang then revealed a satisfied smile and signaled the disciples to disperse.

Outside the palace, Duobao sneered and left first... Jin Ling and Wu Dang glanced at Xiao Lin thoughtfully, said nothing, and left with Gui Ling, who kept yawning and didn't care about anything...

Only Xuan Du looked at Xiao Lin with some worry, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel warm in his heart: [Sure enough, family members are still reliable! ]

He walked over, patted Xuandu on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Junior Brother Xuandu, in three years, I will definitely be able to defeat that little fat guy and take the position of the chief disciple!"

[After three years, even if Duobao was given the ability to cheat, he would still be a true immortal at best! Do you know what a meritorious spiritual treasure is? It is a magical treasure that is as powerful as an innate one and can kill people without any consequences! ]

[Don't even mention one magic weapon. As long as I have enough mana, even if I get ten more, it will be one magic weapon for each person! ]

"Then Xuandu would like to wish Senior Brother a successful start and the title of Chief Disciple!"

Xuandu felt relieved and bowed to congratulate him... Xiao Lin quietly looked at the direction where Duobao left: [Poor little fatty, I'm sorry! If you want to blame someone, blame your master...]
