Looking at Xuandu, Laozi, who was stroking his long beard with his hand, had a worldly expression in his eyes.
He offered guidance, saying:
"Right now, we are in the stage where the Killing Tribulation is evolving into the Tribulation. The Qi Fortune of the Sage's Daoist Tradition can protect the personal disciples of each sect from disaster."
"Therefore, at this moment, you have a few options to consider."
"First—"
"Go down the mountain to take on a disciple, teach him with all your heart, and when the Tribulation arises, let your disciple walk the Great Wilderness Universe. If necessary, you can let your disciple endure the fatal tribulation in your place!"
"Thus, you yourself can remain safe and worry-free!"
As soon as this suggestion was spoken, Xuandu, sitting before Laozi, shook his head.
After a respectful bow, he firmly refused:
"Please grant me audience, Teacher—"
"If this disciple is to take on a disciple, it must be because our affinity has arrived."
"Aside from that, this disciple will not take on disciples, nor will he use his own disciple to fend off the perils of the Tribulation."
Hearing this, Laozi smiled and nodded:
"I naturally know your character well; I merely mentioned this method for your consideration."
