Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

Kunlun.

Taiqing Palace.

After Nuwa created humans and attained sainthood, Laozi of Taiqing finally realized that his own opportunity to attain enlightenment lay in the newly born human race.

Just as he was preparing to set off for the human race, he suddenly discovered that his opportunity to attain enlightenment had vanished.

"W-what on earth is going on?"

Taiqing Laozi panicked—

Originally quiet and indifferent, he was now filled with panic. He sat cross-legged on the purple futon, his hands forming hand seals to control the rules of the Great Dao, and guiding the primordial purple energy in his sea of ​​consciousness to make deductions.

"Brother——"

"What happened?"

Seeing his elder brother's utter panic, Yuan Shi looked on with surprise and curiosity.

To know--

This was the first time the brothers had ever seen their elder brother so out of control since they had taken human form!

Faced with Yuanshi's question, Taiqing Laozi seemed not to hear it and used all his divine powers of the Great Dao to deduce the reason for the disappearance of the 'opportunity to prove the Dao'.

"Nuwa!—"

Taiqing Laozi opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils filled with boundless rage, like two beams of divine light piercing the sky above Kunlun, shattering countless auspicious clouds and rosy hues.

"Brother——"

"What happened to Junior Sister Nuwa?"

Yuanshi stepped forward with concern.

"My opportunity to attain enlightenment was to 'civilize humanity,' but that damned Nuwa dared to ruin it. Now she has finally received her retribution!"

Taiqing Laozi glared fiercely at the shore of the East Sea and witnessed the scene of Nuwa shedding blood.

The hatred for those who block the road is irreconcilable!
What's more, it's an opportunity for me to attain enlightenment and sainthood.

Therefore——

Even though he and Nuwa were fellow disciples, he still wished he could tear her to pieces!

"ah?--"

"Brother, your opportunity to attain enlightenment was ruined by Junior Sister Nuwa. How could our teacher possibly allow that? Besides, Junior Sister Nuwa has already attained sainthood. Doesn't she know the importance of this matter?"

Yuanshi looked towards the shore of the East Sea, and when his gaze fell on Taichu and Tianyan, he couldn't help but reveal a look of sudden realization.

"Brother——"

"Do you think the culprit behind all this might be this Primordial Beginning?"

"He had only been on the shores of the East Sea for a short time when Junior Sister Nuwa ruined your chance to attain enlightenment. All of this is definitely related to him!"

Upon hearing his second brother's words, Taiqing Laozi's tightly furrowed brows faltered slightly.

"Walk!--"

"Let's go check out the coast of the East China Sea now!"

next moment--

Taiqing Laozi directly used the divine power of the Great Dao, and together with his second brother Yuanshi, they traversed the dimensions of time and space, descending with all their might to the shores of the East Sea.

“Swish!——”

“Swish!——”

When the two brothers appeared on the shore of the East Sea, Nuwa was already in seclusion digesting what she had gained from proving her Dao, while also repairing the backlash injuries she had sustained. Meanwhile, Tai Chu had already entered the Underworld.

Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi saw that Fuxi was the first to arrive.

"Greetings to the two fellow Taoists!——"

When Fuxi saw the two brothers arrive, he smiled and went forward to greet them.

Although the Three Pure Ones did not have a harmonious relationship with their demon race's Heavenly Court, they were the elder brothers of the younger sister and the future sages appointed by Heaven, so of course they would be treated with sufficient respect and courtesy.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Fuxi!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Fuxi!"

Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi bowed in return, and then asked a question.

Is the Goddess Nuwa present?

"My sister is currently in seclusion!"

Fuxi pointed to the special void in the sky and told them that his sister was in seclusion in this void.

"I see--"

"Then this humble Taoist will wait here for the Goddess Nuwa to emerge from seclusion!"

Although Taiqing Laozi was the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect, he was not a sage of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, when addressing Nuwa, one should still use the respectful title "Niangniang" (娘娘), which is both a sign of respect for Nuwa and a sign of respect for oneself.

After all, everyone below a sage is but an ant.

In addition to wielding the rules of the Primordial Dao, he can also control a portion of the power of heaven and earth. Anyone who dares to disrespect the sage will suffer the backlash of the will and fortune of heaven and earth.

At best, one will be burdened by karmic debts; at worst, one will die and perish!
For example, Emperor Xin, the last human emperor in the future Investiture of the Gods calamity, even though he was the emperor of the Nine-Nine Humans and was protected by the fortune of humanity, he still caused the downfall of his ancestral dynasty and the death of himself in the Star-Picking Tower because he insulted Nuwa, the saint (the Holy Mother of the Human Race).

After exchanging pleasantries, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi looked down at the three thousand innate humans below, both wondering what qualifications they had to awaken the will of humanity and help their junior sister Nuwa attain sainthood.

“Huh?——”

When they witnessed firsthand how Suirenshi drilled wood to make fire, Youchaoshi built houses, and Ziyishi made clothes.

These three inventions, which seemed utterly simple, were rewarded by the Heavenly Dao for their merits, causing them to widen their eyes in disbelief and secretly begin to use their divine powers to deduce their origins.

"I see!--"

Taiqing Laozi used his own Pangu fortune to deduce the reason behind it.

The reason why humans can awaken the will of humanity is not only because they are born with an innate Dao body, but also because they possess extraordinary learning and creativity, while being weak enough.

In addition, the current situation in the prehistoric world has changed dramatically. The Earthly Dao and the Witch Clan are powerful, and there are two major variables, the Azure Lotus and the Primordial Beginning. In order to correct the predetermined trend, the Heavenly Dao used its junior sister Nuwa to create humans from clay and awaken the will of humanity.

With the awakening of the will of humanity, the three powers of the primordial world, heaven, earth, and humanity officially began to operate. The Heavenly Dao firmly controlled the Human Dao, suppressing the Earthly Dao with the authority of the two great rulers, and obliterating the Primordial Beginning and the Azure Lotus!
“Swish!——”

After figuring out the reason, in order to further understand the human race and find his own opportunity to attain enlightenment, Taiqing Laozi transformed into an old man with white hair and a youthful face, and entered the human race's territory.

Centuries have passed in a flash—

Humans multiplied rapidly, growing from three thousand to hundreds of thousands, becoming the largest ethnic group within a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

They possess the "Creation of Limitless Power Scripture" passed down by the Holy Mother, and their cultivation levels are increasing rapidly, with many innate humans already breaking through to the Xuanxian realm.

Taiqing Laozi keenly perceived that the three thousand innate humans had extraordinary comprehension and faced no obstacles in cultivating the "Creation of Limitless Scripture" transmitted by Nuwa, but some of the second and third generation humans were unable to embark on the path of cultivation.

As the human race multiplies, the innate aptitude of humans is gradually decreasing. Although some 'little geniuses' may occasionally appear, most are just ordinary people.

"If I were to teach the human race a simpler cultivation method, would I be able to rediscover the opportunity to attain enlightenment?"

Just after Taiqing Laozi had this thought, the dormant Primordial Purple Qi in his sea of ​​consciousness quickly became active.

"Ha ha--"

"This is so great!"

After rediscovering the opportunity to attain enlightenment, Taiqing Laozi was overjoyed beyond measure.

"Brother——"

"Have you found the opportunity to attain enlightenment?"

Yuanshi, who was also observing the human race, sensed Taiqing Laozi's condition and immediately appeared before him.

"good!--"

"I have finally found the opportunity to attain enlightenment!"

Taiqing Laozi didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with his second brother, Yuanshi. He once again manifested his true form and entered the human race to observe the situation of the third, and even the fourth and fifth generations of humans with great care.

Five hundred years passed in a flash. Based on the gradually declining aptitude and comprehension of the human race, and the 'Great Dao of Elixir' he inherited, he successfully created two books suitable for the human race: the "Golden Elixir Manual" and the "Golden Elixir Great Dao Scripture".

The Golden Elixir Manual does not have high requirements for aptitude; one can cultivate it to the Golden Immortal realm.

Once you reach the pinnacle of cultivation, you can switch to cultivating the higher-level "Golden Elixir Great Dao Scripture," which not only allows you to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm but also enables you to further cultivate the "Slaying the Three Corpses" method!
It can be said--

Taiqing Laozi considered all aspects and perfectly aligned with his own Xuanmen and the will of Heaven, enabling him to perfectly control the human race.

"Wow!——"

Purple clouds rise from the east for 30,000 miles, and myriad rays of light dye the heavens.

Dao flowers fell together, and golden lotuses surged from the ground.

In order to spread his teachings to the human race, Laozi of Taiqing directly used his own Great Dao to create various extraordinary phenomena, leaving countless humans stunned and speechless.

"Greetings, Immortal!"

"Greetings, Immortal!"

Countless humans, bathed in the radiant light of the Great Dao, gazed at the ethereal and majestic Laozi of Taiqing high in the sky, and bowed respectfully in greeting.

"I, Taiqing, have a special affinity with the human race. I have specially transmitted two true cultivation scriptures to the human race and have preached the Dao for a thousand years. I hope that you can embark on the path of the Dao as soon as possible and attain the Great Dao!"

Taiqing Laozi directly used his supernatural powers to summon the humans who were hunting outside back to their ancestral land, and then prepared to preach loudly.

Fuxi, who had been overseeing the human race, couldn't help but frown slightly upon seeing this scene.

'Humanity was founded by your own sister, and you're just going to spread your teachings without a word? Isn't that a bit disrespectful to your sister?'

"The Golden Elixir Path—"

Just as Taiqing Laozi opened his mouth, he found that his throat was blocked, the strange phenomena that evolved from his own Great Dao instantly dissipated, and he was unable to breathe as if he were drowning.

"Senior Brother, you've crossed the line!"

A holy, elegant, and flawless figure descended from the void, surrounded by countless laws of the Great Dao, and billions of golden lotuses of the Heavenly Dao fell down, making her appear supremely holy, like a sovereign.

"Greetings, Holy Mother!"

"Greetings, Holy Mother!"

All the humans prostrated themselves in reverence, their expressions filled with respect and affection.

"Goddess Nuwa, what are you doing?"

Yuanshi frowned and looked at Nuwa with a cold expression.

“Swish!——”

Taiqing Laozi's body trembled, as if he had come back to life. He looked up at Nuwa, his eyes filled with intense anger and resentment, but it quickly disappeared.

"Goddess Nuwa—"

"It is my opportunity to attain enlightenment by educating the human race. Please, for the sake of my teacher, do not interfere!"

"Elder brother——"

"Humanity was created by me, so I won't trouble you with the task of teaching and spreading the Dharma! If you, my senior brother, ever announce this without prior notice again, then don't blame me for disregarding our fraternal bond!"

Nuwa waved her delicate hand, and Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi felt dizzy. When they came to their senses, they found themselves in the Taiqing Palace in Kunlun.

"puff!--"

next moment.

The terrifying will of Heaven backfired once more, causing Nuwa to bleed again.

"younger sister!--"

Fuxi leaped forward with immense tension.

"It doesn't matter——"

"I can withstand this backlash!"

Nuwa closed her eyes and focused all her efforts on controlling the rules of the Great Dao to resist the backlash from the will of Heaven.

"Woo!——"

"Woo!——"

A continuous stream of humanistic will poured into Nuwa's sea of ​​consciousness, causing her to instantly open her beautiful eyes, which burst forth with two beams of joyful rainbow light.

She originally thought she would have to pay the price again, but unexpectedly, the will of humanity took the initiative to help her resist the will of heaven. This is really good news!

Next-

After stabilizing her own sagehood, Nuwa glanced at the human race she had created with her own hands, and then designed cultivation techniques based on the gradually degenerating aptitude of the human race.

She simplified and disassembled her previously created "The Scripture of Boundless Creation" and passed on the new cultivation method "The Technique of Creation" to all humankind.

The Creation Technique is simpler than the Golden Elixir Technique created by Laozi of the Taiqing School, and it has lower requirements for aptitude and comprehension. One only needs to successfully cultivate to the Celestial Immortal Realm to cultivate the Boundless Creation Scripture.

…………

"hateful!--"

"That Nuwa deserves to die!"

Taiqing Laozi was so angry that his three corpses jumped up and down, smoke billowed from his seven orifices, and his long white beard almost turned to charcoal.

He was on the verge of becoming a saint, but he couldn't achieve it because of Nuwa's interference, and his hatred for her reached its peak.

However, due to his own lack of strength, everything was destined to be nothing but wishful thinking.

"Brother——"

"Should we go to Chaos and ask the teacher for help?"

Yuanshi was well aware of the difference between a sage and a quasi-sage at their peak. Since Nuwa was determined not to let his elder brother preach to the human race, he had no choice but to go to Chaos to seek help from his teacher, Hongjun.

"good!--"

"We'll go to Chaos right now to see our teacher!"

Upon hearing his second brother Yuanshi's suggestion, Taiqing Laozi had no choice but to swallow his anger. He then summoned the Taiji Diagram, a supreme treasure from the creation of the world, and traversed the universe, crossing the primordial 'boundary' to enter the chaos.

In the vast chaos, they keenly sensed a wisp of purple divine light, and immediately followed the guidance to fly forward.

After an unknown amount of time, the magnificent Zixiao Palace came into view.

Unlike when they entered through the main gate before, this time they entered through a side door and immediately saw two exquisitely carved children with red lips and white teeth.

"Greetings, senior brothers. The master is in the rear hall!"

"Thank you, junior brothers and sisters!"

After thanking Haotian and Yaochi, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi successfully entered the back hall and saw Hongjun sitting cross-legged on a purple futon. They immediately stepped forward and bowed in respect.

"Disciple Taiqing (Yuqing) greets Master!"

"No need to be so polite!——"

Hongjun waved the Hunyuan whisk in his hand lightly, then turned around and looked at the two of them with a serious expression.

"teacher--"

"You must do justice for your disciple!"

Taiqing Laozi stepped forward and denounced Nuwa's domineering and forceful nature, as well as her complete disregard for their fraternal bond in preventing him from attaining sainthood.

"I already knew that all of this was the work of the Primordial Beginning!"

Hongjun told the two that Nuwa owed the three sages of the Primordial Era for creating humans, one of which was to forbid Taiqing Laozi from spreading the Tao to the human race, which is why Nuwa did so.

"teacher--"

"Then, how should this disciple find another opportunity to attain enlightenment?"

Seeing that there didn't seem to be any good solutions, Taiqing Laozi looked somewhat flustered.

"You are the true descendants of Pangu, destined saints. As long as the opportunity arises, you will sooner or later attain sainthood!"

Hongjun spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on the underworld.

"Once I recover from my Dao injuries and regain control of the will of humanity, I will correct the predetermined course of events and make Tai Chu and Qing Lian pay the price!" (End of Chapter)
