Honghuang: My understanding is beyond heaven, I am the ancestor of the stars.

Chapter 56 Taihao's Layout, the Future Empress

"Are you sure? If so, you've missed a great opportunity!"

Taihao was a little surprised, because he was considering whether to take out the Chaos Bell.

In other words, how can Xihe use the treasure of creation?

But Xihe's attitude was very firm. She didn't want any spiritual treasure at all, and her tone was decisive.

“No matter how great the opportunity is, it is not greater than the voice of Master’s preaching!”

Taihao asked, intending to test her.

"What if it's a treasure?"

“That’s true too!”

“Hahaha, if that’s the case, then I will definitely give you this treasure in the future! But right now, you haven’t broken through to the Quasi-Sage level, and you don’t have the fate to bear the treasure. If I give it to you, it will be like harming you! But I can’t say I have nothing to show for it. Take all these top-grade spiritual treasures!”

As he spoke, Taihao waved his hand, and several magical treasures appeared in front of Xihe.

"This...thank you so much for Master's gift!"

Yihe hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted them all.

Firstly, Taihao had already said this, if she didn't accept it, she would be a bit ungrateful. Secondly, she had realized that her master had enough treasures, so what would a few spiritual treasures mean to him?
However, after accepting several top-grade spiritual treasures, Xihe couldn't help but think of Taihao's previous words.

"Master, are you really going to give me the treasure?"

Xihe was not wrong.

Although Taihao was still a little hesitant before, he made up his mind after Xihe took the initiative to express her opinion.

Moreover, this treasure is the treasure from the beginning of the universe!
Chaos clock!
As for whether Xihe would retreat in order to advance, Taihao didn't have to worry at all.

Because with Taihao's cultivation level, everything below Hunyuan is visible to him. Even if he can't read minds, he can still sense it almost accurately.

Then why is it a Chaos Clock...

This has to do with Xihe's fate.

According to ancient history, she should be the wife of Emperor Jun, a great queen of heaven, the mother of the Golden Crow and the god of the sun.

But now that Taihao has come, her fate has changed, and even Hongjun cannot interfere.

Therefore, her fate would definitely be completely different.

It is for this reason that Taihao connected her with the Chaos Bell and made an association.

"Emperor Jun is the Heavenly Emperor. His status as a first-generation Heavenly Emperor cannot be violated. So, it should be okay for me to compete with Hongjun for the second-generation Heavenly Emperor, right?"

Taihao already has a candidate in mind as to who the second generation Heavenly Emperor will be.

But to be more precise, it should be the empress!
Emperor Jun is the emperor of destiny and the first generation of emperor appointed by heaven. He is also one of the protagonists of the witch-lich calamity.

To some extent, during the Lich-War Calamity, he was more important than any of the Three Pure Ones.

Therefore, Taihao did not consider the matter of the first generation of Heavenly Emperor.

Emperor Jun will eventually be defeated anyway.

But Taihao needs to plan carefully for the position of the second generation Heavenly Emperor.

Taihao would certainly not lower himself to fight for the throne of Heavenly Emperor himself, but would prepare to push someone related to himself to the throne like Hongjun did.

The person Hongjun recommended was the boy he had enlightened, namely Haotian.

But to be honest, Haotian does not have the ability to rule the world, whether it is cultivation, strength, or fate!
If it wasn't Hongjun who recommended him, he wouldn't have been able to keep his position as the Emperor of Heaven.

But also because of this, after becoming the Emperor of Heaven, Haotian fell into a dilemma of having no one to use, so the Conferred God Tribulation occurred.

As a result, the saints fought each other, causing Honghuang to become weaker again.

"Hongjun recommended Haotian to the throne. Could this be the reason?"

Taihao guessed for a while, then put the idea aside.

"It doesn't matter, because I, Taihao, will definitely fight for the position of the second generation Heavenly Emperor! And the candidate is several times, or even dozens of times stronger than Haotian!"

As long as Xihe can achieve enlightenment!
It doesn't matter even if she doesn't attain enlightenment. Xihe is the lord of the Taiyin star, and her fate is far superior to Haotian. Now that Dijun and Taiyi have fallen, there is no one more suitable than her in the entire prehistoric world.

What’s more, Taihao has the Chaos Bell in his hand!

In ancient history, the Chaos Bell was a treasure used by the demon clan in Heaven to suppress their destiny. Although it is gone now, if Heaven is to be re-established, having or not having the Chaos Bell is definitely two different concepts!

And as long as he becomes the Emperor of Heaven, Xihe's destiny will be completely transformed, and he will be qualified to master the treasure of creation!
If it is planned well, it is not impossible to use it to prove the truth in the future!

"Emperor of Heaven? Empress? It doesn't matter what you call me. The most important thing is that if Xihe ascends to the throne, it will be of great benefit to me!"

Thinking of this, Taihao glanced at the audience.

At this time, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were comprehending the Enlightenment Monument and waiting for Taihao to preach.

However, Taihao's mind was only on Hou Tu.

"Xihe became the Emperor of Heaven, Nuwa created the human race, and Houtu opened the underworld..."

"Now these three people of great luck are all related to me. If I don't make some efforts, it would be a shame to meet this condition!"

"In other words, as long as I work well..."

"The three elements of heaven, earth and man will all be under my control!"

“By then, even if Hongjun completely merges with the Dao and becomes one with the Dao of Heaven, I, in the midst of the wilderness, will not be even a bit weaker than him!”

why?
Because Hongjun is no longer in control of heaven, earth and man, he is equivalent to being sidelined!
"In this case, we must plan carefully for this witch-lich calamity!"

Not only is it about the luck of the three elements of heaven, earth and man, but also the other three lotus platforms. At the same time, we must preserve the integrity of the primitive world as much as possible, especially Mount Buzhou!
Thinking of this, Taihao regained his composure, and a boundless aura emanated from him, shocking everyone and causing them to quickly concentrate.

Because Taihao was about to start preaching. Time passed quickly, and thousands of years passed.

When Taihao stopped preaching, everyone was still asleep.

Even Huo Linger, who has the highest level of cultivation, is like this.

Unlike Hongjun, Taihao not only talked about cultivation methods and the soul, but also talked about the physical body and qi and blood.

At the same time, the law is within the scope of his preaching.

Therefore, no matter who you are, you can gain a lot of insights from the sermons and then increase your own strength.

Among them, the one with the biggest growth is undoubtedly Huo Linger.

As the first one to transform and the one with the highest foundation in the whole venue, after the sermon, she had broken through from the early stage of Quasi-Saint to the middle stage of Quasi-Saint!

During the process of comprehension, he also refined the forty-eight restrictions of the Chaos Immortal Gourd!

With his strength, he is definitely the best among the second batch of innate gods who have transformed!
Even Laozi, Hongjun's first disciple, is weaker than him!
Then comes Nuwa.

Although she failed to make further breakthroughs, she had accumulated a lot in the early stage of Quasi-Saint, and her realm was completely consolidated. She only needed an opportunity to raise her realm again.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches also gained something, and broke through to the Quasi-Saint level earlier than in original history!
Especially Hou Tu, because she had transformed into a spirit at an early age, her strength was much higher than that of history! Among the twelve witch ancestors, she was probably only slightly weaker than Di Jiang.

However, if we talk about the one with the biggest realm span, it is undoubtedly Xihe.

She had just reached the peak of Daluo and had not even touched the threshold of Quasi-Saint, but after the sermon, not only did she break through to Quasi-Saint, she was not far behind even Nuwa.

From this we can see how greatly the transformation of the three flowers to the ninth level of essence, energy and spirit can improve a cultivator's comprehension and speed of practice!

In comparison, Changxi's strength growth is much less.

After ten thousand years of preaching, she was only at the peak of Daluo, and still had some distance to reach the level of Quasi-Saint.

It is worth mentioning that Taihao was not reluctant to teach Changxi the method of cultivation just because she was not his disciple.

Just like Hongjun, there were only five people who could truly be considered his disciples.

But the method of beheading corpses can be learned by everyone of Zixiao.

Perhaps it was because of this that Changxi failed to seize the opportunity to become a quasi-saint?

After all, compared with the method of beheading corpses, Taihao's method is even more difficult!
However, Changxi did not have too many concerns about this and she was very open-minded.

If there is no breakthrough, then there is no breakthrough. The worst that can happen is that you can just use time to grind and you will always be able to become a quasi-saint.

As long as you are alive, there is hope. As long as you live long enough, there is a glimmer of hope that you will achieve enlightenment.

It must be said that her mentality is not suitable for practicing Taoism.

Because in the ancient times, practicing Taoism, after all, is all about "struggle", striving for luck, striving for opportunity, striving for fortune, and improving oneself as much as possible.

Changxi acted out of character, or, as later generations would say, was "Buddhist" or "naive and naive"?
It seemed that for her, being able to listen to teachings in Taixuan Palace was already a great opportunity.

The only regret is that I couldn’t become Taihao’s disciple.

Hou Tu also held similar ideas.

The difference is that she doesn't want to be an apprentice.

As for the reason...

Maybe only she herself knows.

In addition, there was another doubt that had troubled her for a long time. Even after listening to the teachings of Hongjun and Taihao, two great Hunyuan masters, she could not find the answer.

So after the sermon was over and the other ancestor witches had left, she raised her concerns to Taihao.

"The Wu clan has no primordial spirit, and their personalities are violent and uncontrollable. After consuming the merits of the Father God, they will definitely be lingering with evil spirits and entangled with karma!"

"By then, I'm afraid we will follow the old path of the three tribes and be unacceptable to heaven and earth!"

"Senior Taihao, what should we do?"

This worry had actually been lingering in Hou Tu's mind for a long time.

How early?

It was long before Taihao attained enlightenment, and long before Taihao first appeared before the Ancestral Witch.

In other words, dozens or even hundreds of kalpas have passed since then.

However, Taihao had anticipated this worry, so after just a moment's hesitation, he was able to give an answer.

That is...

spoiler!
Because the witch clan is polluted by foul air, their spirits cannot be concentrated and they can easily become like ferocious beasts, losing their minds and only knowing how to kill.

More importantly, the Wu Clan feeds on billions of races in the ancient world.

From the three innate tribes of dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns to ordinary fish, insects, and animals, there is nothing that cannot be eaten.

There is nothing wrong with the survival of the fittest.

But as the Wu Clan grew larger, their insatiable eating habits, not to mention what would happen to the prehistoric world, the resentment and evil spirits accumulated from countless epochs would be enough to completely wipe out the merits that the Wu Clan had gained from Pangu, and they might even have to owe a lot of karma!
And they don't know how to give back, they only know how to take.

The final outcome is being abandoned by the wild world.

Taihao didn't have many good solutions to this problem.

Because no matter how powerful he is, he can't create enough food to satisfy the witch clan's consumption, and it is even more impossible to completely restrict the development of the witch clan.

Therefore, the end of the Witch Clan was basically doomed from the moment they were born.

All Taihao can do is to treat the dragon clan like he did to them, so that they won't suffer as much as in history.
