Chen Shi held the incense, bowed towards the main hall, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
He gazed at the Teacher's statue in the hall, deeply admiring the decisions made by this ancient sage.
The hunched elderly man said, "At that time, all the Holy Lands in the Earth Immortal Realm were owned. The Teacher had no place to stand and could only reside in the desolate Penglai West. Few followed the Teacher in ascension, most stayed at the Ancestral Court. I am Jiao Jinhua, one of those who ascended with the Teacher, though I am not his disciple but a disciple of Daoist Tongtian. Later, all of the Teacher's disciples called me Brother."
Chen Shi withdrew his gaze; the Teacher was the reincarnation of Daoist Tongtian, and this Master Jiao is a disciple of Daoist Tongtian, holding a high position.
