Chen Shi seemed to be possessed, yet not possessed, seemed inhuman, yet human, even Chen Yindou, an old hand in Jianghu, couldn’t discern it.

Chen Yindou acted naturally, purely following his instincts, with a childlike curiosity and a strong thirst for knowledge, thus charming many women. However, he had not experienced any events like Chen Shi’s transformation in his early years, and he himself lacked much demonic nature, so he couldn’t quite grasp Chen Shi’s state.

"Could it be that Little Ten hasn’t fallen into demonic possession? No, if he hasn’t, why won’t he reclaim his humanity?"

Upon this thought, Chen Yindou felt a chill in his heart.

Chen Shi, without humanity, could still achieve the mindset and actions akin to a teacher, which was terrifying!

"My grandson has defied the heavens!"

This sermon was unprecedentedly grand, as Chen Shi allowed his disciples to observe the Primordial Talisman. These two hundred thousand immortals had already been tempered in the Lower Realm before ascending to the Earth Immortal Realm. They were naturally intelligent and talented individuals, with many disciples soon comprehending the basic mysteries of the Primordial Talisman and gradually grasping its essence.

However, mastering the profound wonders hidden within the Primordial Talisman in a short time was no easy feat, so Chen Shi dispatched his dirt body and Taoist body to stand on either side. If the disciples encountered difficulties, they could approach for inquiries, and the dirt body and Taoist body would provide explanations.

For those truly outstanding, who asked extremely profound questions that the dirt body and Taoist body could not answer, Chen Shi would allow them to enter the Biyou Palace, where he would personally respond.

The Chang Chun Emperor, upon seeing this, felt restless and suggested to Niang Po Primordial Monarch: "Primordial Monarch, let’s also have Mr. Chen teach us the Primordial Talisman, since what Mr. Chen imparts contains parts of our lineage as well. Why not each set up a platform, and if anyone is cultivating our lineage, we help answer their questions?"

Niang Po Primordial Monarch hesitated and said, "This might seem as if we’re overstepping our bounds."

The Chang Chun Emperor laughed, "This would be to alleviate Mr. Chen’s burdens while finding successors for our lineage. Primordial Monarch, if we perfect the Primordial Talisman, we cannot remain in the Dao Ruins. As vast as the world is, outside of the Dao Ruins, there’s nowhere else for us. Why not seize this chance to find a sanctuary in Penglai West?"

Niang Po Primordial Monarch secretly nodded upon hearing this.

They had originally secluded themselves in the Dao Ruins out of necessity, partly to use the Outer Dao to erode themselves to avoid the Opening Tribulation, and partly to suppress the Outer Dao with the Green Stele. Now, with the Primordial Talisman replacing the Immortal Dao, and the Primordial Talisman containing parts of the Outer Dao, they no longer needed to fear the Opening Tribulation or the encroachment of the Outer Dao, thus they did not need to hide in the Dao Ruins.

But without hiding in the Dao Ruins, there was nowhere to establish themselves in the outside world unless they relied on the Three Pure Ones Realm or the Western Heaven, living under someone else’s roof. But with their skills, why should they depend on others?

Rather than this, why not stay in Penglai West, partly because of Chen Shi’s favor to them, and partly because Penglai West lacked any masters, ensuring they would be treated with courtesy and respect once they settled there.

Niang Po Primordial Monarch said, "This matter needs Mr. Chen’s approval."

So the two of them went to the Biyou Palace to see Chen Shi and discussed the matter.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "If the two of you are willing to stay, my Golden Turtle Island would indeed shine with glory! If you have any favored disciples, feel free to choose any Immortal Mountain Holy Land in Penglai West to open a cave abode."

The two were overjoyed and left the Biyou Palace, also setting up a platform to teach their lineage of the Primordial Talisman.

On Golden Turtle Island, among the two hundred thousand disciples, practicing various magic skills, there were naturally some practicing their lineage, feeling aligned and coming forward to seek guidance.

The Chang Chun Emperor and Niang Po Primordial Monarch spared no details in their answers, and after a few days, a dozen or so immortals had gathered around them.

The Chang Chun Emperor laughed, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a Daluo Golden Immortal who has survived the Opening Tribulation, thanks to Mr. Chen’s favor, allowing me to choose a Holy Land in Penglai West to open a school and recruit disciples. If you are interested, you may join my sect. Rest assured, joining my sect means you are still disciples of Golden Turtle Island."

Hearing this, the crowd discussed quietly. One person said, "Is the opening of the Emperor’s school under Golden Turtle Island’s banner, still following Golden Turtle Island’s directives in the future?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The Chang Chun Emperor laughed, "Precisely."

Thus, the crowd stepped forward to apprentice.

The same was true for Niang Po Primordial Monarch; both received a dozen or so disciples each and felt quite pleased, leading the disciples to explore all over Penglai West to find a suitable Holy Land.

Yangshuo Mountain Man already did not get along with the Chang Chun Emperor, often bickering with him. Seeing the Chang Chun Emperor setting up a platform and teaching, he sneered in his heart, "A junior without principles! Accepting Mr. Chen’s kindness, working for Mr. Chen, and lowering one’s status for nothing! Even as a Daluo Golden Immortal, I wouldn’t belittle myself like that. I have my dignity!"

When he saw the Chang Chun Emperor actually accepting over a dozen immortals as disciples and choosing a sizeable Holy Land to build an Immortal Palace and Immortal Hall, and set up a sect entrance, his eyes widened.

"This little scoundrel is undermining his benefactor and occupying the benefactor’s Holy Land!"

Yangshuo Mountain Man felt quite indignant, and Shantang Scholar laughed, "I inquired from Niang Po, they are not undermining their benefactor; rather, all the Holy Lands in the world have been divided up, leaving no place for us, so they find a place to settle under Mr. Chen. Partly to grow Golden Turtle Island, and partly to find some successors for themselves."

Yangshuo Mountain Man was greatly tempted upon hearing this: "Old Scholar, what do you think?"

Shantang Scholar said, "I have the same thought. Why don’t we visit Mr. Chen and seek a similar arrangement?"

The two agreed at once and headed straight to the Biyou Palace.

Once in the Biyou Palace, they found Gu Daoquan, Elder Tianye, and others already there, discussing with Chen Shi about setting up a platform to teach, opening a school, and recruiting disciples.
