The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 192 There is a bear, Red Snow

Upon hearing from Tiger Fang Celestial that Bai Ze had once given him guidance, Shi Mo suddenly realized something.

The current methods of Qi cultivation and various secret techniques are far less advanced than during the Three Realms period. For demons who follow the path of Qi cultivation, without the advantage of a powerful divine body, it is not so easy to transcend tribulation and become a celestial immortal.

Only those with exceptional talent, guidance from seniors, or protection from magical treasures or innate spiritual artifacts have a chance to successfully transcend tribulations and become celestial immortals.

However, in the Pangu World today, any demon race that can become a Celestial Immortal, as long as they do not perish, will definitely be a Pure Yang True Immortal with profound foundations by the time they reach the Three Realms period, or even become a True God Ancestor.

"Huh? I didn't expect that humans would also come to listen to the Lord's sermon this time," a sudden exclamation of surprise came, and Shi Mo's spirits lifted as he turned to look.

More than a dozen humans dressed in animal skins entered from outside; they were almost all men, but there were also two women.

The leader was an old man with hair and beard like steel needles, and a burly build; he looked like a hot-tempered person.

His aura was also very strong, clearly indicating that he was a celestial being, and a pure Yang True Immortal at that.

"To be able to comprehend the Great Dao, one must be a rather powerful individual among the human race. It seems that the human race's strength and foundation are not weak at all!"

Feeling the surging divine power and profound pure yang immortal magic power emanating from the burly old man, Shi Mo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Tiger Fang Celestial couldn't help but say, "Although the human race has not been around for very long, its reproduction rate is too fast, so there are quite a few strong people born. The key is that the human race's leader, Suirenshi, is too talented. He became a true god and ancestor in a short period of time, and the human race has grown very fast under his leadership."

"I've heard that after Suirenshi became a true god and ancestor, he had humans try various cultivation methods, and even used the blood of a dragon god for them to absorb and refine, hoping to give them strong physiques."

Tiger Tooth Celestial said, "Look, can you sense the dragon's might among those human gods with their violent auras?"

Shi Mo couldn't help but look curiously at the burly old man and the strong human gods behind him. Some of them had strange patterns on their faces, even dragon scale patterns, and their spiritual energy was somewhat disordered, indicating that their cultivation methods were obviously problematic.

"They sacrificed a generation for the rise of humanity, even their souls were affected, and they may never become true gods or ancestral masters. However, without such transformation, perhaps they wouldn't have been able to become celestial gods either; the human body is still too weak."

Shi Mo sighed inwardly: "Although the body-refining methods of gods and demons are very common in the Pangu World now, most of them are practiced by gods and demons. Humans are not even born as innate beings, so the acquired body-refining methods of gods and demons that humans practice have to be specially devised and created."

"Didn't Goddess Nuwa create a suitable cultivation method for humankind? Why did Suiren and the others still risk trying some cultivation methods?" Shi Mo couldn't help but feel puzzled and curious.

"Haha. Youxiong, you've finally arrived!" A loud, deep voice suddenly rang out, and a burly god, over ten feet tall and sporting a bear's head, emerged from the main hall, warmly greeting the burly old man who had brought some human experts with him.

"Big Bear." The burly old man hugged the bear-headed deity before entering the main hall with him.

"A bear? A big bear?" Shi Mo was speechless, wondering if they were just giving him a name so casually.

That giant bear must be a celestial bear demon. Could that human elder named Youxiong be the later Youxiong Dao Ancestor? He seems to be a powerful being born in the early days of the human race. It seems that the Yellow Emperor was born from the Youxiong tribe.

"It's actually Senior Big Bear?" Tiger Tooth Celestial murmured excitedly from the side.

"You know this Senior Big Bear too?" Shi Mo looked at him with a strange expression.

Tiger Tooth Celestial shook his head and smiled, saying, "He doesn't know me, but I've heard of him. Senior Great Bear is a Celestial God of my demon race. He later joined the Star-Picking Palace and became a general under the Palace Master. He is very famous in the Pangu World. Moreover, he seems to have a good relationship with the human race. He has helped the human race more than once!"

"Oh?" Shi Mo's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this: "It seems that the reason why Dao Ancestor Youxiong is called Youxiong is because his tribe is located in a place with a bear. Could it be referring to this big bear? With such a gifted bear demon, it's no wonder the tribe is called Youxiong."

"Alright, the Lord of the Palace is about to begin his sermon, everyone quiet down," accompanied by a clear voice, a handsome and dashing red-haired deity emerged from the main hall, then turned and went back inside.

But Shi Mo's eyes lit up when he saw him: "He is...the Red Snow God?"

Hongxue! She was the strongest celestial being under Sanshou's command, and she was also incredibly talented. Later, she became a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, learned the spacetime technique that Patriarch Bodhi was so proud of, and broke through to become a true god ancestor.

Hongxue was conceived and born at the very beginning of creation. Among gods and demons, she was considered to have good comprehension. If she hadn't hidden in the Star-Picking Great World in the Water Palace after the ancient war of destruction, she might have become a true god and ancestor much earlier.

Soon, as the square quieted down, Sanshou's familiar voice rang out from the main hall, and he began to preach crisply and directly.
Although Sanshou did not fully comprehend the Heavenly Dao, he had gained considerable understanding of the Great Dao and various minor Daos, making it easy for him to guide and instruct some Heavenly Gods, True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Returning Void Gods and Demons.

"It can be considered as teaching without discrimination. There aren't many people in the Pangu World who are willing to preach and teach the masses. However, although Sanshou is good at fighting, he is still somewhat lacking in teaching gods and demons," Shi Mo thought to himself as he listened to Sanshou preaching outside.

The ability to explain the profound Tao in a simple and easy-to-understand way is a true test of a great master's knowledge and wisdom.

Sanju's sermons are similar to his fighting style—expanding and powerful, which sounds impressive but is difficult to understand.

Unless one is at a higher level like Shi Mo, even if San Shou's explanation is not in such detail, Shi Mo can still be moved and enlightened.

However, the other gods and demons listened with rapt attention, yet were scratching their heads in disbelief.

While Tiger Tooth Celestial couldn't help but frown and scratch his head, Shi Mo smiled, occasionally getting a touch of inspiration and comprehending some relatively unorthodox techniques.

At first, no one paid much attention, but as several waves of Dao aura descended, many gods and demons noticed Shi Mo.

"My new brother is just too quick to understand, isn't he?" Even Tiger Tooth Celestial couldn't help but look at Shi Mo in surprise.

Time passed quietly, and gradually, Shi Mo occasionally showed fluctuations of the Dao, which everyone took for granted and even became somewhat numb to.

Suddenly, an even more profound Dao aura descended upon Shi Mo, who was meditating with his eyes closed. Immediately, all the gods, demons, and monsters listening to the Dao in the square stared in surprise.

Even the sermons of the Three Longevity Elders within the Great Dao suddenly ceased. A moment later, Hongxue emerged from the main hall, looked at Shi Mo who had opened his eyes with a smile, and stepped forward with a slightly polite manner, saying, "Fellow Daoist, the Lord of the Mansion has asked me to invite you in to listen to the sermon."

“Alright,” Shi Mo nodded with a faint smile. After standing up, he glanced at the Tiger Tooth Celestial beside him and couldn’t help but say, “Can I bring one more person? I met him on the road. If he hadn’t told me that the Lord was going to give a sermon, I wouldn’t have had the chance to come and listen to the sermon.”

Hongxue glanced at the excited and expectant Tiger Fang Celestial with some surprise, then nodded after a moment's thought and said, "The Lord of the Manor has agreed. Please come with me!"

"Brother Xingyun, thank you so much," Tiger Fang Celestial said excitedly, rising to his feet and bowing repeatedly to Shi Mo. He then followed Shi Mo and Hong Xue into the main hall.

The main hall was very spacious, with many huge prayer cushions placed inside. There were over a thousand celestial beings and immortals listening to the teachings here.

As soon as Shi Mo entered, he immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone who looked over with curiosity.

Shi Mo glanced at the one-armed manor lord San Shou, who was sitting cross-legged at the front. Under San Shou's scrutinizing gaze, he bowed slightly and then, at Hong Xue's invitation, led Tiger Fang Celestial to sit down in an empty seat at the front.

San Shou, his brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Shi Mo, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, then continued his sermon.

The others listened attentively and paid no attention to Shi Mo.

Listening to the Dao within the Great Dao, the voice of Sanshou preaching seemed to be the voice of the Great Dao itself, even more awe-inspiring, and subtly leading those celestial gods and immortals to enlightenment.

Shi Mo, who was listening to the Dao with his eyes closed, gradually became immersed in it and unknowingly comprehended another great Dao.
As the profound fluctuations of the Great Dao descended, many celestial gods and immortals looked over in surprise, some with strange and interesting expressions.

San Shou paused, gave Shi Mo a strange look, and then continued his sermon.
Several years have passed since this sermon. After Shi Mo gradually comprehended the three great paths, San Shou finally stopped sermons.

After Hongxue announced the end of the sermon, all the gods and immortals thanked Sanshou and left. However, Sanshou called out to Shi Mo: "Are you a Void Returning God-Demon?"

"No." Shi Mo smiled, revealing his divine aura.

The familiar aura of divine power made San Shou's eyes widen slightly: "Shi Mo?"

"Haha. So it's Brother Shi Mo! No wonder there's such a monstrous talent in this Pangu World, a Void Returning God-Demon who hasn't even transcended the tribulation to become a Celestial God yet!" San Shou exclaimed with delight upon realizing what was happening.

Tiger Fang Celestial, who left with Shi Mo, was already surprised by the divine aura emanating from Shi Mo. Upon hearing San Shou's address to him, he was even more dumbfounded.

"Shi Mo, the True God?" Hong Xue, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look at Shi Mo in surprise.

San Shou, who got up and walked towards Shi Mo, couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Brother Shi Mo, how did you manage to bring a divine power avatar here with me?"

"I originally intended to travel quietly through the Pangu World, but upon hearing that Brother Sanshou was going to give a sermon, I came out of curiosity to join in the fun," Shi Mo said with a smile.
"Brother should know that I offended the Water Kingdom badly in my previous battle with Wuzhiqi and the others. I'm worried that the Water God Gonggong will come after me personally, so I dare not leave Jiuding Iron Fork Mountain easily!"

"I see!" San Shou smiled and said, "Brother Shi Mo, now that you're here, you should stay a while longer so I can properly show you the hospitality of a host."

"You...you are Shi Mo, the True God?" Tiger Fang Celestial was also dumbfounded as he looked at Shi Mo.

Shi Mo nodded and smiled slightly: "Tiger Fang, I only concealed my identity to make it easier to travel to the Pangu World, not because I intended to deceive you."

"It's alright," Tiger Tooth Celestial stammered, waving his hand. Then he exclaimed excitedly, "I never imagined that one day I, Tiger Tooth, would be able to drink and be sworn brothers with a True God Dao Ancestor!"

“Hehe, as long as you are willing to work hard in your cultivation, you may have a chance to become a true god-ancestor in the future,” Shi Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tiger Tooth Celestial became invigorated: "That's right! I've gained a lot from listening to the Dao this time. If I go back and cultivate diligently, there's still some hope that I can comprehend the Great Dao and become a True Immortal."

"As long as your heart is firm enough in your pursuit of the Dao, your comprehension is not too bad, and you keep making progress, spending more time accumulating insights will eventually lead to success," Shi Mo encouraged.

After Tiger Fang Celestial and Hongxue left, filled with excitement, Sanshou couldn't help but say, "Brother Shi Mo's words really touched me! I was born in chaos, and after the creation of heaven and earth, I have been cultivating for a long time. I have comprehended many of the Great Daos, but I still haven't been able to fully understand the Heavenly Dao. I'm almost losing confidence."

"It's clear that Brother Shi Mo, you've grasped a great deal of the Dao after just one listen. Your talent and comprehension make me both envious and ashamed!" San Shou said with some admiration. "With such talent and such determination, it's no wonder you've achieved what you have today!"

"Haha, Brother Sanshou, if you didn't have determination, how could you have comprehended such a powerful divine ability as the Star-Picking Hand that shakes the Pangu World?" Shi Mo couldn't help but laugh loudly.

San Shou shook his head and smiled: "That's all I'm proud of. I can't comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and I don't have any supernatural abilities to show for myself. What makes me think I can establish the Star-Picking Palace and compete with all sides for supremacy?"

“You know, the strongest forces in the entire Pangu World right now are those led by a few ancestral gods. If I’m not strong enough, I can’t even stand here, let alone survive next to the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom,” San Shou said with a sigh.

"So, Brother Sanshou wants to recruit powerful individuals and make friends with all sides by preaching?" Shi Moruo said thoughtfully.

Sanshou nodded and said, "That's right! Unless one chooses to live in seclusion and not get involved in any conflicts, one will inevitably have to make friends with all sides if one wants to establish a foothold in the Pangu World. I can't concentrate on quiet cultivation."

"I can't stay idle, so I arranged for my divine power avatar to travel around," Shi Mo said with a smile. "By the way, Brother Sanshou, I was just about to ask you about the powerful forces in this Pangu World. I want to know so that I won't encounter trouble in the future without knowing who I've offended!"

“No problem! Although my Star-Picking Palace isn’t exactly a powerful force, I still have a pretty good understanding of the various powerful forces in the Pangu World,” San Shou said with a hearty laugh.

So, Shi Mo stayed at San Shou's Zhaixing Mansion for a few days, exchanging ideas and discussing the Dao with San Shou. They talked about the various powerful forces and even explored some cultivation methods and supernatural abilities together.
Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Shi Mo, who has gained a lot, has a deeper understanding of the Earth Element Heavenly Dao, and has even unknowingly reached the final bottleneck.

Sanshou was born with a mastery of the Earth Element Dao, and he had the deepest understanding of the Earth Element Heavenly Dao. He also had considerable insights into the Metal Element, Fire Element, and even the Destruction and Yang Element Heavenly Dao. Shi Mo, who exchanged and discussed the Dao with him, naturally experienced a rapid improvement in his understanding of the Earth Element Heavenly Dao.

Furthermore, Shi Mo has gained considerable insights into the Fire Element, Destruction Element, Metal Element, and Yang Heavenly Dao, with a significant understanding of the Fire Element, second only to his understanding of the Earth Element Heavenly Dao.
