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

Chapter 21 Enlightenment Tea, Reenacting Pangu's Creation of the World

Upon hearing this, Ye Yang instantly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he felt his pressure suddenly lessen. How easy it was to have a sage helping him devise a plan!

However, Ye Yang did not tell Tongtian Jiaozhu everything, only the fate of the Jie Sect. As for the rest, it was not that Ye Yang did not trust Tongtian Jiaozhu, but that Ye Yang understood the principle that too much talk leads to mistakes.

He slowly cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said:

"We request the Tongtian Sect Leader to help the Ancestral Witch Houtu condense an avatar to deceive the Heavenly Dao."

Tongtian immediately understood and laughed heartily, saying:

"It seems that I did not use the Golden Lotus Path to Heaven wrongly. One is the future Ancestor of the Earthly Dao, whose status is comparable to Master Hongjun. As for you, the Ancestor of Humanity, if there are no accidents, you should be the Ancestor of Humanity."

Forehead.

It must be said that Tongtian's comprehension is truly remarkable.

"Alright, I will now help the Ancestral Witch Houtu condense an avatar. However, in order to prevent the Heavenly Dao from seeing through it, this avatar will consume nine layers of Houtu's essence blood. At that time, the original body will be very weak and will need time to recuperate."

"That's perfect."

The Tongtian Sect Leader and the Witch Clan are not outsiders in general, and Houtu Ancestral Witch also possesses a primordial spirit, so it is not difficult for her to condense an avatar.

The Tongtian Sect Leader used his magic to help Houtu condense a clone in his own dojo. However, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was in excruciating pain, as if her bones were being scraped, but she didn't utter a sound. The tearing of her primordial spirit was especially painful.

Ye Yang broke out in a cold sweat. As expected, the race born of heaven and earth and inheriting the will of Pangu was truly different.

Time passed slowly, and the condensation of the avatar of the Ancestral Witch Houtu was also at a critical moment. The clan members selected by the Witch Clan to unite with the human race had already arrived at the scattered human side.

Now, humanity finally has complete protection. Although the witch and demon races are forbidden from attacking humanity for a hundred years, they cannot guarantee the safety of the unintelligent mountain demons. However, with the addition of the witch race's sons, humanity's combat strength has soared.

With the protection of the Wu Clan warriors, Ye Yang finally felt at ease.

"Hehe, now we can focus on planning for the Lich Cataclysm."

Ye Yang had made up his mind to intercept the Heavenly Dao.

On this day, Ye Yang was strolling around outside Biyou Palace with nothing to do. Occasionally, he would watch the Three Immortals of the Jie Sect practice their swordsmanship, or observe other disciples of the Jie Sect cultivating. Ye Yang gradually gained some insights.

As the last innate human, Ye Yang's comprehension is beyond question.

"Wait a minute, I feel like I saw the creation of the world through Pangu's eyes during his enlightenment process?"

Suddenly, Ye Yang stopped, his entire mind focused on the scene from back then, which slowly reappeared in his mind.

"I am Pangu, the god of power."

Rumble.

Such a scene began to vaguely appear in his mind, but in reality, ripples began to appear around Ye Yang, as if in a dream, or like the moon reflected in water.

"Hmm? The Ancestor of Humanity actually achieved enlightenment?"

The Tongtian Sect Master, who was in the process of condensing his clone, saw only faint fluctuations on Ye Yang's body, which surprised him greatly.

"The Dao... it's actually the aura of the Dao! How could the Ancestor of Humanity possess the aura of the Dao? Oh well, perhaps this is Houtu's destiny."

With a wave of his hand, the Tongtian Sect Leader slowly absorbed the aura of the Dao into the Ancestral Witch Houtu. Moreover, all the disciples in the entire Daoist temple were attracted by this Dao pattern fluctuation and began to meditate and cultivate.

Time passed slowly, and Ye Yang stood there like an old monk in meditation for several years. At this moment, the entire Biyou Palace was filled with the Daoist charm of this Great Dao.

Fortunately, the Tongtian Sect Leader had previously set up a vast array to hide everything here; otherwise, the entire prehistoric world would probably know, and it would have been another earth-shattering entanglement.

Rumble.

Suddenly, deep within Biyou Palace, in the cultivation grounds of the Tongtian Sect Leader, a figure abruptly opened his eyes. His appearance, aura, and everything else were exactly the same as those of the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

"Phew—it took ten years to finally finish."

The Master of Heaven took a deep breath. Ten years may not seem like a long time, but it is quite a long time for mortals.

The avatar of the Ancestral Witch Houtu slowly opened its eyes:

"Thank you, Master Tongtian."

"Hehe, no need for thanks, it's all for my own sake."

On the other side, Houtu's true form was extremely weak, and the Tongtian Sect Leader said:

"Alright, you and your clones should go and cultivate with the Ancestor of Humanity for a while. Perhaps this will be an opportunity for you."

Although the Twelve Ancestral Witches do not cultivate the Xuanmen Daoist methods, Houtu possesses a primordial spirit and can comprehend the origin of the Dao. At this moment, Ye Yang's body is already covered by dense Daoist runes. With a light leap, Houtu and her clone arrived here and then sat down cross-legged.

As for the Tongtian Sect Leader, he slowly sat down and closed his eyes to cultivate. At this moment, the entire Biyou Palace fell into silence, with only the Daoist aura emanating from Ye Yang filling the air.

Several more years passed. At this moment, Ye Yang had been at the Tongtian Sect Master's dojo for nearly twenty years. This brought twenty years of peace to the prehistoric world, and the prehistoric human race immediately demonstrated a terrifying reproductive ability after being protected.

The powerful beings and saints of the heavens were dumbfounded.

"Is this what humans are like? We underestimated them before."

"If my guess is correct, the human race's fortune must be even greater now."

"Yeah, why didn't we see the human race developing so rapidly before?"

The powerful beings of the primordial world discussed this among themselves, unaware that the human race had to constantly guard against attacks from wild beasts and might even be accidentally injured in battles between gods. It was already a feat to keep the race alive.

However, the human race is becoming stronger and stronger. With protection and no longer threatened, a population explosion has occurred.

Among the saints, Nuwa and Taiqing Saint were drooling with envy, but they were furious. The human race was expanding like never before, and its fortune was rising steadily.

However, apart from being able to sense a slight connection of fortune, they were unable to obtain even a fraction of the human race's fortune.

"Ancestor of Humanity, you just wait, one day I will make you pay."

Nuwa clenched her fists. Since becoming a saint, the only two times she had lost face were because of Ye Yang, the ancestor of mankind. It could be said that Nuwa hated Ye Yang to the core, but there was nothing she could do about him. Wasn't that infuriating?

Hongjun in Zixiao Palace also witnessed this scene and sensed that something was terribly wrong. The human race's fortune was growing stronger and stronger. It had already grown to this extent before this great calamity had even ended, which made it much more difficult for Hongjun to calculate the human race's fortune.

Having made up his mind, he knew he had to do something to suppress the human race's fortune, otherwise he would just have to watch the next great calamity unfold.

In an instant, a spell was cast, heading straight in a certain direction.

One day, suddenly, a series of patterns appeared, and Ye Yang's aura surged dramatically.

"Hmm? You broke through?"

Although his cultivation level was still very low and not even worthy of the Dharma's attention, he had indeed made a breakthrough.

When Ye Yang opened his eyes, he was taken aback. He saw disciples of the Jie Sect sitting cross-legged everywhere. Looking in front of him, he saw two Houtu sitting opposite each other. Ye Yang realized that the clones had been formed. If he didn't have a unique method, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize who was who.

Just then, the voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly rang out:

"Ancestor of Humanity, now that you've awakened, why don't you come and sit for a while?"

With a wave of his hand, the Tongtian Sect Leader produced another cup of Enlightenment Tea. Ye Yang immediately understood that this was all thanks to the Enlightenment Tea. He bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Master Tongtian."

"Hehe, it's alright, I, the leader, have also benefited greatly."
