I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 20: Tongtian Knows the Truth, Desires to Slay the Two Western Saints (Please Read On!!)

Ye Yang was taken aback, only then remembering the purpose of his visit, which he had forgotten during the fight.

"Master Tongtian, are you really going to say this here? That might be a bit..."

"Uh, hehe, please."

The Great Road to Heaven opened once more, and Ye Yang and Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, entered the Biyou Palace, the Daoist temple, under Tongtian's guidance.

After they were seated, Tongtian Jiaozhu waved his hand and two cups of fine spiritual tea appeared in front of them.

"Ancestor of Humanity, please. These are some little things I've grown on the island when I had nothing else to do. Please don't find them unappealing."

Ye Yang looked at the tea and saw that the tea was surrounded by rising clouds and mist, like a fairyland. Even before he took a sip, a refreshing fragrance wafted over him. Just smelling it made him feel clear-headed. Looking at each tea leaf, he saw that there were faint intersecting patterns, which looked like Dao traces.

"Hehe, what fine tea! It has such effects even before it's tasted. It seems the Tongtian Sect Leader is truly treating us with great hospitality."

These words greatly pleased the Tongtian Sect Leader, who said:

"It's alright. This is tea for enlightenment. As the ancestor of the human race, he deserves this cup of tea."

Without further ado, Ye Yang picked up the cup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant, and as soon as it entered his stomach, it transformed into energy that rushed straight to his limbs and bones. Ye Yang could vaguely feel that his cultivation had improved somewhat, but it was just a feeling.

The true purpose of this Enlightenment Tea is to clear one's mind and temporarily enhance one's comprehension. Houtu, who was standing nearby, took a sip and also felt a slight difference. However, the Ancestral Witch was born without cultivating the profound methods of the Dao, so she did not know the taste of it and could only treat it as rinsing her mouth to quench her thirst.

After a few polite exchanges, Ye Yang finally spoke:

"Master Tongtian, is it convenient to speak here?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was taken aback, then understood. He cast a spell, using the Four Swords of Zhuxian as a magic array, instantly enveloping the Daoist temple. Only then did he look at Ye Yang and say:

"Alright, now that the secrets of heaven have been blocked, even if Master Hongjun wanted to see something, it would take him a very long time. You can speak now."

Ye Yang nodded and said:

"Master Tongtian, to be honest, I have come here to ask for your help in condensing an avatar of Houtu, an avatar with flesh and blood."

"Hmm? Ancestor, your words have surprised Tongtian. I thought you came here for your own business."

Tongtian was also surprised, and only then did he hear Ye Yang say:

"This matter isn't really an outsider's affair."

Ye Yang understood what the Tongtian Sect Leader meant. Helping the Wu Clan condense their clones was no small matter. If they were not careful, they would be going against the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao punished them, Tongtian would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, he had to explain the whole story clearly.

"I am grateful to the Tongtian Sect Leader for helping the human race in the past, so I have never regarded him as an outsider. Now that I am here, I will not let the Tongtian Sect Leader help me without knowing why. Please listen to my explanation."

Now that the secrets of heaven are in chaos, and with the emergence of an unpredictable figure like Ye Yang, the situation has become even more chaotic. The Tongtian Sect Leader is unable to see through the secrets of heaven, so he has no idea what the future holds.

"To be honest, Houtu of the Wu Clan was destined to reincarnate and become the Ancestor of the Earthly Dao, but she was schemed against by the Heavenly Dao and ultimately became its puppet."

After speaking briefly, the Tongtian Sect Leader's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said:

"The Ancestor of Humanity must not speak recklessly. The secrets of Heaven are in chaos now, and even we sages cannot glimpse them. How could you possibly know what's going on? Your words are putting me in a difficult position."

"A bit difficult? That's easy then, it's not impossible," Ye Yang immediately seized the opportunity and said.

"Heh, Master Tongtian, what do you want me to say for you to believe me?"

Tongtian pondered for a moment and said:

"This is the great calamity of the Lich King. If you can tell me the final outcome of the primordial world, I will believe you."

Tongtian was full of confidence. In the end, only the saints of the heavens knew the fate of the primordial world, and they had only recently told him. No one else knew. If Ye Yang told him, then he would believe that Ye Yang knew the future. Otherwise, Tongtian would have no choice but to close the door and send him away.

"Hehe, simple, Master Tongtian, listen carefully."

Ye Yang took a deep breath and said:

"The final result of the Lich-Demon Calamity was a battle that caused mountains to collapse and the earth to split. The twelve Ancestral Witches died in battle. Gonggong angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain, causing it to collapse. The Milky Way simply overflowed. Nuwa patched up the sky, and the Lich-Demon Calamity was thus completed. The Witch Clan was destroyed, and the Demon Clan was defeated. The Eastern Emperor Bell, also known as the Chaos Bell, disappeared without a trace. The Ancestral Witch Houtu entered the cycle of reincarnation and became the Ancestor of the Earthly Dao."

I briefly explained the ending of the Lich War, and the Tongtian Sect Leader immediately jumped up on the spot:

"That's impossible! How did you know that? Apart from the teacher telling the Eastern Sage, no one else knows anything about this."

Seeing the Tongtian Sect Leader's shock, Ye Yang chuckled and said:

"What's so special about that? I know a lot more than that. I even know about the next great kalpa, and the one after that. Do you want me to tell you everything?"

Rumble.

Seeing Ye Yang's confident expression, the Tongtian Sect Leader was stunned. Countless images flashed through his mind in an instant: Ye Yang gathering the future fortune of the human race, Hongjun Daozu saying that Ye Yang was an anomaly, and so on.

Slowly looking at Ye Yang again, the Tongtian Sect Leader hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Then do you know what became of my Jie Sect in the end?"

It seemed the Tongtian Sect Leader believed him, and Ye Yang said without the slightest surprise:

"The next great calamity will be when all the saints join forces to deal with your Jie Sect. As for the outcome, you know it without me saying it."

bang

In an instant, the Holy Power of the Tongtian Sect Leader erupted:

"They dare! If they dare to harm my Jie Sect, I will definitely set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation and fight until the heavens and earth are turned upside down. Even if it means shattering the primordial world, I will not hesitate."

In an instant, the Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes flashed with intense malevolence, but Ye Yang showed no fear and nodded, saying:

"That's right, in the end you did just that. During the Battle of Jiepai Pass, your Four Swords of Zhuxian were taken away, the Primordial World was divided into four continents, and that old guy Hongjun put you all in confinement, not to be born again until the immeasurable calamity."

"What?"

In an instant, the Zhuxian Sword Formation outside the dojo began to riot.

"This is outrageous!"

With Ye Yang's guidance, the Tongtian Sect Leader calculated with his fingers and finally saw the future. Originally, he couldn't see it, but with Ye Yang as his guiding light, it was different. It was as if Ye Yang illuminated the way forward for the Tongtian Sect Leader in the dark night.

At this moment, even Hongjun probably doesn't see things as clearly as Tongtian Jiaozhu.

"You thief, you've gone too far in bullying me!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was about to control the Zhuxian Sword Formation with one hand and head straight for the depths of chaos, intending to kill these bastards, but Ye Yang stopped him.

"Master Tongtian, this is a future event that has not yet occurred, and we still need to plan for it. It is not certain that it will actually happen."

"Hmph, Ancestor of Man, you don't need to persuade me. With your guidance, I have already calculated that, as you said, the Jie Sect has been divided up. Damn it, and those two traitors in the West are too much of a bully."

At this point, the Tongtian Sect Leader was filled with utter rage, but after hearing Ye Yang's words, he forced himself to calm down and suddenly looked at Ye Yang, saying:

"Alright, how can I help you? Just tell me, and if you don't mind, I'll plan it with you."
