Primordial Era: I am the Bull Demon King, the First Demon of All Time

Chapter 54 Gathering the Human Race's Fortune and the Power of the Great Dao!

Chen Jing has repeatedly protected the human race, which Laozi has witnessed.

He was not offended by Chen Jing's behavior, but felt it necessary to remind his junior apprentice.

Chen Jing continued walking step by step towards the Eight Views Palace.

Lao Tzu preferred tranquility and non-action, so no Taoist boys or palace maids were seen in the Eight Views Palace.

The summit of Shouyang Mountain was unusually tranquil.

When Chen Jingbu arrived at the gate of Bajing Palace, he suddenly paused.

A gleaming golden treasure chest lay prominently in front of the Eight Views Palace.

"What the hell is this? How could a treasure chest appear in such a strange place?"

Chen Jing couldn't help but mutter.

If the treasure chest had appeared elsewhere on Shouyang Mountain, he wouldn't have had to risk venturing into the Eight Views Palace.

With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Jing immediately pocketed the yellow treasure chest on the ground.

Then, he seemed a little embarrassed.

If he didn't go in, it would be impolite for a junior; but if he did go in, Chen Jing really didn't want to face the Supreme Saint.

Standing there, Lao Tzu would surely have sensed his arrival.

Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to speak, when a hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the Eight Views Palace.

"You are Tongtian's disciple, come in."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jing took a deep breath and then slowly walked into the Bajing Palace.

Upon entering the Eight Views Palace, the first thing Chen Jing saw was at the end of the main hall, where a kind-faced old man was sitting cross-legged on a futon.

Beside him, someone stood quietly.

This kind old man is Laozi, the first sage of the primordial world.

Chen Jing could not sense any magical fluctuations from him. In fact, it seemed that the old man had become one with the world, and he was the center of this world.

Standing next to him was none other than the only student of Laozi, the Grand Master Xuandu.

"Chen Jing pays respects to his senior master."

Chen Jing walked to the center of the main hall and bowed deeply to the aged figure.

He turned to Xuandu and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Xuandu."

When he bowed to Xuandu, he took the opportunity to assess the other party's cultivation level.

Xuandu was at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, at the same level as Chen Jing's senior brother, Daoist Duobao.

However, since it had been tens of thousands of years since they last met, Chen Jing was unsure whether Daoist Duobao had broken through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

While Chen Jing was observing Xuan Du, Xuan Du was also assessing Chen Jing's cultivation level.

When he realized that he could not see through it, Xuan Du was very surprised.

Among the second-generation disciples of Taoism, it is generally believed that Xuandu and Duobao Daoren were vying for the first position.

But now, Chen Jing of the Jie Sect has silently surpassed them.

The battle over the East China Sea, in particular, made Xuandu realize this point even more deeply.

Although Shouyang Mountain and the East Sea are very close, and Xuandu was in the Eight Views Palace, the divine sense of a Great Luo Golden Immortal has a wide range, making it easy for him to observe the battle scene in the East Sea.

The massive upheaval in the East China Sea could not possibly have escaped his notice.

Especially when Chen Jing finally eliminated Ji Meng, Xuan Du clearly felt a sense of loss.

Someone who was originally inferior to him, someone whose name you've never heard of, has unknowingly surpassed him and left him far behind.

This sudden reversal of status was extremely difficult for the proud and arrogant Xuandu to accept.

Xuandu followed Laozi for a long time. Although he usually resided in the Eight Views Palace, he was very knowledgeable about the affairs of the prehistoric world.

Especially since Ji Meng is the number one warrior of the demon race, even if Xuan Du advances his cultivation level, he knows he would find it difficult to contend with him, let alone defeat or kill him.

Chen Jing had no idea what Xuan was thinking.

"Tongtian has nurtured such an outstanding disciple as you, who has actually managed to defeat Ji Meng of the demon race."

"Among the second-generation disciples of the Taoist sect, only you have this ability."

Laozi looked at Chen Jing, his words carrying praise, but also concealing other meanings.

"I just saw that the human race was living a hard life and was often bullied, so I helped them out of the ordinary, just to be true to my conscience and keep my Dao heart pure."

Chen Jing answered calmly.

Laozi did not continue speaking, but Xuandu fell into deep thought.

His eyes shone with determination; his previous disappointment had vanished.

Chen Jing couldn't understand Laozi's reaction, but he noticed the change in Xuandu.

"You are truly a legend among humans."

Chen Jing's assessment of Xuan Du was very direct.

Xuan Du was once an ordinary person with mediocre talent.

To become a disciple of Lao Tzu, he knelt and begged at the foot of Shouyang Mountain until Lao Tzu accepted him as a disciple.

His perseverance moved Lao Tzu, who then made him his only disciple.

Despite starting late and having ordinary talent, Xuandu surpassed his fellow disciples in the Daoist sect through his unwavering perseverance.

Laozi naturally sensed Xuandu's transformation and was very pleased with him.

I wasn't wrong back then; although Xuandu's talent was average, his willpower was extraordinary.

"A clear conscience and a clear understanding of the Dao are the reasons you have come this far. You possess the spirit of Tongtian in his prime."

Lao Tzu praised the Way.

After a while, Laozi asked, "What brings you to the Eight Views Palace?"

"My eldest uncle is the leader of the Human Sect. You must be aware of what I did on the shores of the East China Sea. Please do not blame me for this."

Chen Jing said these words to directly understand the true views of the Taiqing Sage towards the human race.

To him, the human race was merely a tool for his path to sainthood.

Lao Tzu clearly stated: "People of our Taoist school must understand the will of Heaven and grasp the principles of Heaven. There are certain things we should not participate in, so as not to bring trouble to our school."

After hearing Lao Tzu's words, Chen Jing was speechless.

I don't know how to evaluate the eldest master among the primordial saints.

For Lao Tzu, what he cared about most was his own cultivation level.

He strictly follows the natural way of Heaven and acts according to the will of Heaven, which is why he ranks first among all the sages of the heavens.

To him, all other people and things are insignificant.

Everyone has their own beliefs, and everyone has their own path.

Different paths lead to different philosophies, and different philosophies result in different styles of doing things.

Who is superior and who is inferior, right and wrong, let future generations judge.

Chen Jing bowed to Laozi again: "Thank you for your teachings, Grand Master. I will keep them in mind."

After bidding farewell to Laozi, Chen Jing left the Eight Views Palace.

His primary goal was to obtain the yellow treasure chest, and now that he had it, everything else was just secondary.

Chen Jing did not delve into Lao Tzu's final advice.

Principles are personal, and everyone's path is different.

Only by staying true to our original aspirations can we reach our destination.

In the primordial world, those who have reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal possess unwavering willpower.

It cannot be easily changed by the words of others, not even by celestial saints.

Chen Jing had done his best for the human race and had a clear conscience, so he no longer thought about anything else.

After hiking to the foot of Shouyang Mountain, Chen Jing got up and prepared to fly back to his cave.

Suddenly, he felt a faint force attached to his body, which made him immediately stop taking off.

He had felt this power in the ancestral land of the human race when he first saved Youchao.

This is the power of human destiny.
