Honghuang: I am Kuiniu, and I instructed Nuwa to create humans at the beginning.

Chapter 22 I decide my own path

Niu Kui immediately shook his head with a look of shame and said, "Daoyou Fuxi has achieved enlightenment through the innate energy of deduction. How dare I compare with him? The deduction technique I am proficient in is just the basics."

Laozi smiled and shook his head, "Daoyou Niu Kui is too modest. I'm afraid even Daoyou Fuxi may not be able to predict the future for the human race. But Daoyou was able to learn that there are people with destiny who preach to the human race. Isn't that enough to prove that Daoyou Niu Kui's prediction skills are better than Fuxi's?"

Niu Kui smiled and shook his head again, saying, "Every man has his own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone is proficient in different areas. I am only slightly better than Taoist Fuxi in this aspect, but I am far behind him in other aspects."

Niu Kui's words were just polite words, but they made Laozi fall into deep thought. At the same time, he kept repeating, "Every inch has its own strengths..."

Niu Kui was stunned by Laozi's sudden change. He even thought to himself, "What did I say? Isn't it just a saying that every inch has its own strengths? Could this make Laozi realize something? Isn't Laozi's perception a little too strong?"

Just as Niu Kui was sighing, Laozi suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, a smile that was difficult to conceal appeared on his calm face.

The next moment, Laozi bowed to Niu Kui and said, "Thank you, Daoist Fellow Niu Kui, for giving me some pointers. You let me know that although the human race is weak, it has wisdom that other races do not have. Just as Daoist Fellow Niu Kui said, every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses."

"I have decided to pass down the great path of the Golden Elixir to the human race. This will help the human race grow stronger, and at the same time, it will also lay the foundation for my own path to becoming a saint."

Seeing that Laozi had already gotten the hang of it, although the method of getting the hang of it shocked Niu Kui a little, he was extremely happy. But at this moment, Niu Kui suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He immediately said to Laozi, "Senior Taiqing, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

For Laozi, every word Niu Kui said could bring him one step closer to becoming a saint, so how could he not let Niu Kui speak? So he immediately said to Niu Kui: "Daoist Niu Kui, you can say whatever you want."

"Senior Taiqing, what I want to say is, did you pass down the Golden Elixir Dao to the human race so that you can become a saint soon, or did you really want to help the human race grow?"

As soon as Niu Kui said this, Laozi couldn't help but think about it, and even asked himself in his heart: "Yes, I passed down the Golden Elixir Dao to the human race. Is it for myself or for the human race?"

Seeing Laozi's thoughtful expression, Niu Kui couldn't help but strike while the iron was hot and said, "No matter what Senior Taiqing did, Senior Taiqing's choice was the most correct. Because the potential of the human race is much stronger than it appears on the surface."

"It's just that Senior Taiqing's true thoughts will determine what happens next. So Senior Taiqing, please don't rush to answer me. Think carefully and then speak your mind from the bottom of your heart."

After hearing what Niu Kui said, Laozi began to ponder in his heart, "He said that my thoughts will determine what happens in the future. Could it be that my thoughts will affect my strength after I become a saint?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely high. He even thought that Niu Kui was instructing him at a critical moment. He was afraid that he would take the wrong path and would not be able to achieve the perfect status of a saint.

So the look in Laozi's eyes when he looked at Niu Kui was full of gratitude. He kept reminding himself to really think about the human race. Because only in this way can he gain stronger strength. Finally, he said to Niu Kui directly: "Thank you, fellow Daoist Niu Kui. I have thought about it. Everything I do is not only for my own enlightenment, but also to help the human race become truly powerful."

Niu Kui nodded after hearing this. "Since Senior Taiqing values ​​the human race so much, why not expand the human race and accept more disciples? With disciples helping Senior Taiqing to preach, Senior Taiqing's Taoism will be better spread among the human race."

Although Laozi has decided to pass down the great way of the golden elixir to the human race, and he sincerely wants the human race to grow up, he has never thought of accepting human race as his apprentice. Now, when he heard Niu Kui say this, it was like a thunderclap in his mind.

Laozi could even clearly feel that the primordial purple energy in his body began to tumble non-stop, as if it was being pulled by something and was about to break out of his body at any time.

With this feeling, I knew that my chance had finally come. For a moment, I was extremely happy.

He then bowed to Niu Kui again and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist Niu Kui, for showing me the way. Now I have found my way."

Then, Laozi patted the flat-horned blue bull on the head. The next moment, smoke came out of the flat-horned blue bull's four hooves, and it carried Laozi directly into the air.

In mid-air, Laozi sat on the flat-horned green ox, practicing the cultivation of the peak realm of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and spoke directly to the human tribe: "I am the Taiqing Laozi of the Pangu Sect. I see that the human race and I have a connection. I have preached to the human race for a hundred years at the foot of Mount Buzhou."

"All mortals can come and listen. After a hundred years, I will select those who have outstanding footsteps from among those who have listened to my teachings and accept them as my personal disciples. I will pass on my Taiqing lineage of Taoism."

Laozi's voice resounded throughout the human tribe, and countless humans looked up into the air. Some even headed directly in the direction of Laozi, ready to listen to him preach the Dao.

However, within just a few days, countless people came to the foot of Buzhou Mountain. Among them were Xuandu and the group of innate people created by Nuwa. Even the Huanglong clan and the three ancestors of the human race had arrived.

As more and more people gathered, a look of relief appeared on Laozi's face. After all, the more people listened to him, the more he could get.

However, with the appearance of Niu Kui and Laozi, the human race first knelt on the ground, saluted Niu Kui, and said, "I pay my respects to the Saint Master Niu Kui." Then they saluted and paid homage to Taiqing Laozi.

Seeing that the human race first paid homage to Niu Kui and then to him, Laozi felt a little uncomfortable. After all, it was him, not Niu Kui, who was preaching to the human race today.

But thinking that Niu Kui was most likely the incarnation of Heaven, Laozi felt that there was nothing wrong with the human race paying homage to Niu Kui first. He even felt that this would be more beneficial to him. After all, in front of Heaven, he dared not overstep the mark in the slightest.
