Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Soon, all the quasi-saint cultivators in the primordial world vaguely sensed the will of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and knew that as long as they could help the human race, the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, develop, they could obtain a massive amount of fortune.

Given the current state of the primordial world, anyone with abundant fortune has the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

However, for this opportunity, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man do not allow cultivators to fight each other; instead, it must be conducted through the transmission of knowledge.

It even restricted the cultivation level that cultivators could display in the human kingdoms. Once they entered the seven kingdoms, even the peak Quasi-Saints could only use the Refining Void and Integrating Dao cultivation level. Through some special means, they could at most become Earth Immortals.

Jade Cauldron and Tortoise Spirit had already entered the Seven Kingdoms before the other beings.

This is a benefit that Bai Jing arranged for them; the rest is up to them.

Not long after Yu Ding and Gui Ling entered the Seven Kingdoms, they arrived at the Tushita Palace in the Heavenly Court.

Laozi glanced at Xuandu, who was fast asleep on the recliner, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He flicked his whisk, knocking over Xuandu's recliner.

"Why are you disturbing my peaceful sleep, teacher?" Xuan Du asked irritably as he stretched.

"Don't you know that new opportunities have emerged in this primordial world? Why don't you seize them?"

Why bother striving? Isn't inaction and incompetence better?

Upon hearing this, Laozi felt a surge of frustration welling up in his chest. He wanted to ask Xuandu, "Is this what 'incompetence and inaction' means? Does it mean you should never strive for anything?"

But he ultimately remained silent and continued refining his elixir.

After being woken up, Xuandu did not continue to lie down, mainly because the recliner had been broken. After sensing the changes in the energy between heaven and earth, he said loudly as if he wanted Laozi to hear him, "My master instructed me to carry forward the Taiqing lineage if I had the chance, so let's give it a try!"

As he spoke, Xuandu separated his good body and gave him the Taiji Diagram for protection, then sent him to the Seven Kingdoms.

In the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who had regained his sainthood, summoned his disciples. Now, the Chan Sect only had two direct disciples, Guang Chengzi and Qing Lianzi, and two nominal disciples, Antarctic Immortal and Yun Zhongzi.

"I presume you are all aware that there is a great opportunity among the seven human kingdoms. I will not interfere this time; you may decide for yourselves how to proceed!"

After speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand and sent the four of them to Yuxu Palace.

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, are you going to the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race?" Yun Zhongzi asked.

"I have this idea? Junior brother, are you going too?"

Yun Zhongzi shook his head: "I won't join in the fun. I've recently had some insights and I'm preparing to go into seclusion to sever my obsession."

"I see. Then I'll congratulate you in advance, junior brother."

"Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother." After saying this, Yun Zhongzi bowed to Qing Lianzi, and the Antarctic Immortal turned and flew away.

“I also plan to go to the Seven Kingdoms, so I won’t be traveling with my senior brother this time,” Qinglianzi said.

Guang Chengzi nodded, then looked at the Antarctic Immortal.

“The teacher always needs someone to serve him, so I won’t go. I will stay in Kunlun Mountain to serve the teacher,” said the Antarctic Immortal.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."

"It's my duty." With that, the Old Man of the South Pole took his leave.

Guang Chengzi and Qing Lianzi exchanged a glance and then flew away from Kunlun Mountain.

On Jin'ao Island, the Tongtian Sect Leader has been in seclusion for over three hundred years, and he has not shown himself even during this opportunity.

Now, Jin Ling is in charge of the Jie Sect.

Today, Jin Ling summoned all the disciples of the Jie Sect and said, "Fellow disciples, such a great opportunity will surely benefit our Shangqing lineage. Are there any of you who wish to descend to the mortal realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming was the first to speak, saying, "Senior Sister, I will not get involved in this matter. My cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique has reached a critical stage. If I can break through, I can achieve physical sainthood. I cannot be distracted by this matter."

Jin Ling nodded and looked at the Holy Mother Wudang. The Holy Mother Wudang had been living in the vacuum hometown opened up by Youqin Yueyue recently and rarely came back. I don't know what Holy Mother Jin Ling's plans are.

"Senior sister, I have already sent the good corpse into the seven kingdoms, but not in the name of my Jie Sect."

"I see. Then it seems I'll have to go myself this time."

"Jin Ling, you should stay by my side!" The voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly rang out halfway through Jin Ling's sentence.

The members of the Jie Sect were shocked to hear this. Jin Ling also did not expect that Tongtian Jiaozhu, who had been detached from worldly affairs for many years, would personally descend to the mortal realm.

"Master, are you going to the Seven Kingdoms to establish a lineage of Daoist teachings?" Jin Ling asked.

"Yes and no, just come with me."

Jin Ling nodded, leaving his three corpses to oversee the affairs of the Jie Sect, while his main body followed Tongtian to the Seven Kingdoms.

In the Immortal Realm, Hongyun looked at Zhen Yuanzi with a puzzled expression: "Brother Dao, why don't you go to the Seven Kingdoms to compete for the fortune? This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity! If you can seize enough fortune, it will be a natural thing for you to become a saint."

“Hongyun, my path is not in the Seven Kingdoms.”

"Where is that?"

"It's right here in this Immortal Realm."

After saying this, Zhen Yuanzi ignored Hongyun and slowly closed his eyes to continue his cultivation.

Seeing this, Hongyun couldn't help but complain, "What a stubborn mule! All the effort I put into crafting this magic weapon for you has been wasted."

On Fangzhang Island, Kong Xuan used the Five-Colored Divine Light to cut out a wisp of his divine soul.

"Master, what are you doing?" Yuan Hong asked, puzzled.

"I will plan some good fortune for the Phoenix Clan and for you." With that, Kong Xuan cast his wisp of divine soul into the cycle of reincarnation.

Similar situations occurred in many ancient lineages, with countless powerful beings traveling to the Seven Kingdoms in various ways.

Returning his gaze to Yingzhou Immortal Island, Bai Jing watched the powerful figures flocking to the mortal realm, a slight smile playing on his lips as he calmly stated, "In this era of great contention, many powerful figures have entered the Seven Kingdoms to establish their own lineages. What are they vying for? They are vying for destiny!"

Ultimately, however, the King of Qin unified the six kingdoms, and the world came under Qin's rule. Once he became King of Qin, the rise and fall of any sect was entirely up to him. This Ancestral Dragon Pearl should come in handy soon.

After saying this, Bai Jing had a thought, and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl flew into the cycle of reincarnation and entered the human realm.

In one of the kingdoms, Chen, in Ku County, Li Township, Qurenli, a woman's heart-wrenching screams echoed from a wooden house in a village.

A quarter of an hour later, the woman gave birth to a baby. The baby was born with a loud cry that shook the three realms.

At the same time, in the mortal realm and the heavens, the Daoist essence surged, and purple qi traveled 30,000 miles eastward.

Such a magnificent phenomenon attracted the attention of countless powerful beings in the primordial world. They carefully examined the infant in the swaddling clothes, but could not discern anything extraordinary about it.

Meanwhile, Tongtian and Jinling were watching the child from above.

"Master, this child has clearly caused such a tremendous phenomenon, yet why can't I see anything special about him?" Tongtian's tone was filled with joy upon hearing this: "If you can see it, you can become a saint."

While Tongtian was speaking, Xuandu's benevolent corpse and Qinglianzi both arrived at this place.

The good corpse of Xuandu came because the Taiji Diagram was guiding him, while Qinglianzi received a message from Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Greetings, Third Martial Uncle." The two bowed to Tongtian in unison.

"Alright, get up! Let me make this clear: you can come, but don't disturb him, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

The severity of Tongtian's tone was unprecedented, even during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

Xuan Du's benevolent corpse and Qing Lianzi naturally dared not have the slightest objection.

“Tongtian, he is no longer the eldest brother, why bother with this?” Yuanshi Tianzun’s voice rang in Tongtian’s ears.

“He is the reincarnation of my elder brother’s soul, and he has also merged with my elder brother’s true spirit. Even if he is not my elder brother, he can be regarded as my elder brother’s reincarnation. Why can’t I protect him? Besides, didn’t you also send a disciple here, second brother?”

"That's different."

"Second brother still likes to be stubborn."

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with Tongtian on this topic. He changed the subject and said, "Tongtian, you came here in person, surely it wasn't just to protect him as he grows up?"

"Of course not. I will personally enlighten him and guide him onto the path of cultivation."

"You want to interfere with his upbringing?"

“The present era is the most suitable time for him to cultivate. If he misses this opportunity and is reincarnated, who knows when the next suitable time will come.”

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun fell silent. To be honest, he had also been paying close attention to this wisp of divine soul that had merged with Laozi's true spirit.

After the Investiture of the Gods, he had already reincarnated twice. This was his third life. Yuanshi Tianzun sent Qinglianzi with the intention of guiding him into the Dao, but he had never made up his mind.

"Enough! Let Tongtian do what he wants! The worst that can happen is just a few more reincarnations." After saying this, Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes and ignored Tongtian.

In Qurenli, after the baby was born, it cried only three times before falling into a deep sleep. A day later, the baby woke up and opened its dark eyes. Its gaze was incredibly deep, and it calmly observed the world.

This child was born extremely intelligent. He could speak at three months old and walk at five months old. At such a young age, he was known as a child prodigy in Qurenli.

The Li family personally named the child Li Er and saved every penny to send Li Er to school.

When Li Er was ten years old, his wife, Li, passed away.

Li Er was heartbroken and observed three years of mourning for his mother.

During this time, Tongtian transformed into an elderly man in his eighties and often came to Li Er's mother's grave to talk with Li Er.

The two quickly became acquainted, and Tongtian began to teach Li Er some principles, while secretly guiding Li Er to enter the path of Taoist cultivation.

Two years later, Li Er had an epiphany, and a wisp of spiritual energy entered his body, after which it became unstoppable.

With each breath, Li Er would break through a major realm. In just five breaths, Li Er's cultivation had reached the Earth Immortal realm.

Li Er then realized that Tongtian was no ordinary person. He wanted to thank Tongtian, but found that Tongtian had already disappeared.

As Li Er entered the Dao, Xuan Du's true form in the Tushita Palace instantly disappeared, and he tore through space to arrive at Li Er's mother's grave.

As a disciple of Taiqing Laozi, Xuandu was extremely familiar with Taiqing Laozi's aura. The moment Li Er entered the Dao, Xuandu sensed it and couldn't wait to tear through space to arrive at this place.

However, before Xuandu could speak, he was imprisoned by Tongtian and taken to the heavens.

"Third Uncle, why?"

“He is not your master,” Tongtian said bluntly.

"But he clearly..."

"He is just Li Er now. As for whether he will become your master later, that depends on his own willingness."

After a moment of silence, Xuandu nodded in agreement. He retrieved his good corpse and left it there in its place.

Qinglianzi suddenly realized why his master had sent him here, and why his third uncle and the Golden Spirit Mother were also here.

Another year passed, and Li Er's mourning period ended. Because of his great talent, he was recommended to be the Keeper of the Archives. After entering the Keeper of the Archives, Li Er was able to read extensively.

Five years later, Laozi had read through all the books in the archives.

Li Er felt that continuing to serve as the Keeper of the Archives was of little significance, so he resolutely resigned.

That year, Li Er was eighteen years old.

He used his years of salary to buy a blue ox, and began his official travels around the world on the ox to broaden his horizons.

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Li Er was well-versed in learning. Although young, he had his own unique insights into everything and was valued by the feudal lords, who treated him as an honored guest.

Just as Li Er's fame was rising, in Zouyi, Changping Township, Lu State, an ordinary woman gave birth to a baby.

Meanwhile, in the State of Lu, in Changping Township, Zouyi, a woman gave birth to a baby. Because the baby's head was slightly concave, the woman named him Kong Qiu.

When Confucius was born, five colors of light—blue, yellow, red, black, and white—flashed across the sky and quickly disappeared!

This scene naturally caught the attention of many powerful beings in the prehistoric world.

The five-colored divine light is a supernatural power known to all people in the primordial world.

Even saints have entered the fray to compete for destiny. In an instant, many beings in the primordial world felt a sense of urgency. Powerful beings who were originally hesitant began to act, either reincarnating with fragments of their divine souls or descending directly in their true forms.

In the Northern Darkness, Kunpeng slowly opened his eyes. His cultivation level had fallen from the peak of Quasi-Saint to the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. It was clear that he, like Chang Xi, had severed his three corpses and was now focusing on cultivating the Dao of Laws.

"I never expected that Kong Xuan, who had already become a saint, would still try to seize the fortune. Fortunately, I was quick to act and fused the soul fragments of the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the obsessive corpse into the cycle of reincarnation."

As Kunpeng spoke, his gaze fell upon the Song Kingdom of the human race, in the land of Meng, where another baby was born.

The baby was able to speak as soon as he was born, and he named himself Zhuang Zhou!
Returning our attention to Confucius, who was born with strong arms and legs, weighing a full twelve pounds, he could speak at six months old and walk at one year old. He also loved reading and was extremely studious.

At the age of five, Confucius had read all the books in his family's collection, so his mother sent him to school.

Confucius learned everything very quickly and soon became a very famous scholar in the entire State of Lu. In addition, Confucius was tall and strong, over two meters tall, and muscular. He learned a lot of self-defense techniques from some veterans in Zouyi and usually preferred to persuade people with reason.

In the winter of the year Confucius turned eighteen, his parents passed away one after another. Confucius wept bitterly and observed mourning for his parents.

After observing the mourning period, Confucius personally went to a blacksmith's shop to forge a long sword and began traveling around the states.
