Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 143 Five Saints in One Day

The Martial Ancestor Hall stands majestically at the very center of the human race's sacred land.

Its surface is surrounded by the aura of profound merit and virtue.

Since Yuan established the Seven Realms of Martial Arts here, the human race has seemed to have found a bright lamp in the endless darkness, enough to illuminate the way forward.

"Eat the flesh of demonic beasts, refine your own blood, and forge your bones to be as strong as steel!"

A crystal-clear path, leading directly to the Heavenly Road that is comparable to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, was now fully revealed to all the clansmen!

This path does not concern itself with one's origins or with any particular fortune.

Whether they are the innate human race created by Nuwa herself, or the acquired race spun out by the gourd vine, they can all cultivate!

Its entry barrier is low, and its method is simple.

It far surpasses any Daoist technique in the primordial world!
In an instant, the entire human race was plunged into an unprecedented frenzy of cultivation.

The terrifying monsters that once struck fear into the hearts of humankind are now seen as the most precious resources for cultivation by the people.

Hunting armies, organized by tribe, were formed.

Armed with increasingly sophisticated stone weapons, they formed a hunting formation that was already incredibly skilled, and ventured deep into the perilous wilderness.

Hunt down monsters and seize their essence and blood to nourish yourself!
"Use war to sustain war, use killing to stop killing!"

This almost cruel philosophy of spiritual practice gave rise to this phenomenon.

The strength of the human race began to grow at a terrifying speed that made all the races of the prehistoric world take notice!

However, it has only been a few thousand years.

Tens of thousands of martial arts experts at the second realm, comparable to Earth Immortals, have already emerged among the human race.

There are also those who are exceptionally talented, courageous, and diligent.

They were broken and rebuilt in countless life-and-death battles.

They successfully entered the third and fourth realms.

Its physical strength is already comparable to that of great demons at the Celestial Immortal or even Profound Immortal realms!

Humanity has finally acquired its first self-defense power in this cruel and desolate world, enough to contend with all other races!
It is no longer the weak and helpless creature it once was, at the mercy of others.

It was precisely at this time, when the martial arts of the human race were flourishing and their fortunes were rising, that things began to improve.

That was the Taiqing Palace in the Eastern Kunlun Mountains, a place that had been peaceful for countless eons.

An elderly man with white hair, dressed in a simple Taoist robe, whose aura was in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, slowly opened his eyes.

Between the opening and closing of his eyes, endless Yin-Yang Daoist principles flowed.

It seems to reflect the supreme truth of the beginning of heaven and earth and the evolution of all things.

Taiqing, Laozi!

He was transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu and is the head of the Three Pure Ones.

A guest in Zixiao Palace, the eldest disciple personally taught by Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
Its noble origins and profound cultivation meant that even before Nuwa became a saint, it had already severed the three corpses of good, evil, and attachment, reaching the peak of quasi-sainthood.

However, like Nuwa, although he had already touched the invisible threshold of the Primordial Holy Path, he still could not enter it.

"Where exactly does my path to sainthood lie?"

A soft sigh emanated from the still, deep Daoist heart.

With a thought, the Taiji Diagram, a supreme innate treasure that had already been refined to perfection, slowly unfolded behind him.

Endless secrets and Daoist principles are born and die within that scroll.

They attempted to glimpse a faint glimmer of opportunity for enlightenment amidst the already chaotic workings of the Heavenly Dao.

It is unknown how long he had been deducing, but the moment his divine sense came into contact with the human martial arts fortune that had just been formed under Buzhou Mountain!

boom--! ! ! !

Lao Tzu's vast primordial spirit was struck as if by lightning at this moment!

The bottleneck to sainthood that had plagued him for countless eons suddenly loosened violently without warning!
"So... my destiny lies with this very clan!"

He no longer hesitated for a moment.

His figure then quietly disappeared within the Taiqing Palace.

The next moment, they had already traversed billions of miles of void.

They arrived silently outside the sacred land of the human race on the southern slope of Mount Buzhou.

He did not reveal his form, but stood on a cloud. His gaze calmly looked down at the land below, which was already filled with rising fortune and vibrant life.

He saw the majestic and solemn Martial Ancestor Hall, and the Martial Ancestor Seal on the top of the hall that suppressed the martial arts destiny.

He also saw countless humans tirelessly training their bodies and tempering their blood and qi within that sacred land.

The fighting spirit emanating from him was one of disrespect for ghosts and gods, and unwavering faith in himself.

"good."

Lao Tzu nodded slowly.

A rare hint of approval flickered in those usually calm and collected eyes.

"This race is not like the demon race, which is untamed and beastly, nor is it like the witch race, which does not cultivate the primordial spirit."

Though physically weak, he possessed boundless wisdom and an indomitable will, truly displaying an extraordinary spirit.

He praised the young sage who pioneered martial arts.

His wisdom was profound and his methods were extraordinary.

However, when his gaze swept over it again, he instantly saw through the fundamental flaw of this method.

"Martial arts are good, but they focus too much on physical combat and have not been explored in the way of the primordial spirit."

This path allows humankind to survive in this primordial world, but ultimately, true freedom and ease are elusive, and it also makes it difficult to comprehend the supreme mysteries of the universe's workings.

Upon realizing this, Lao Tzu's mind suddenly became clear!
Immediately, a vast aura descended with a thunderous roar!
Lao Tzu's voice then resounded throughout every corner of the entire human race's holy land.

"I am Laozi of the Taiqing Realm. Today, moved by the human race's unyielding spirit, I have come here to pass on to you the true path to longevity and immortality through the Golden Elixir!"

He did not wait for the human race's reaction after he finished speaking.

He was seen sitting cross-legged in the void.

Three flowers gather on the top of his head, and five kinds of energy rise!

Endless Yin-Yang Daoist principles swirled around him, transforming into countless mysterious golden flowers. On this sacred land of humanity, the Golden Core Dao, which points directly to the immortality of the primordial spirit, was passed down!

"Martial arts are the foundation, immortality the pinnacle. Today, I establish a sect, named—"

"Human Education!"

Rumble—!!!!!!!!!

As the words "human education" came crashing down from Lao Tzu's mouth!

Above the nine heavens, the Heavenly Dao is felt once more!
A boundless and immense merit descended with a thunderous roar!
Under the blessing of this immeasurable merit, Lao Tzu's quasi-saintly cultivation, which had already reached its peak, was shattered at this moment!
An overwhelming aura of supreme sainthood, emanating from the sacred land of humanity, swept across the entire prehistoric world once again!
"I am Taiqing Laozi. Today I establish the Human Religion, enlighten the human race, and have achieved perfect merit. Today I become a saint!"

It was at this very moment that Taiqing attained sainthood that some kind of heavenly secret was triggered.

Inside the Yuqing Palace and Shangqing Palace in East Kunlun.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu also sensed something and opened their eyes at the same time!
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the realization in each other's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, they all made a grand vow!

"I am Yuqing Yuanshi, and today, in accordance with the Way of Heaven, I establish the Chan Sect! I will expound the ultimate principles of the Way of Heaven, and my disciples shall be those with profound foundations and enduring blessings!"

"I am Shangqing Tongtian. Today, in accordance with the Way of Heaven, I establish the Jie Sect! To seize a glimmer of hope for all living beings, my disciples are open to all, regardless of background. Anyone whose heart is set on the Great Dao may enter my sect!"

boom! boom!
Two equally vast streams of merit for establishing the religion descended from the heavens!
Two equally terrifying auras of sainthood rose from the Eastern Kunlun Mountains, their power resonating with the Daoist essence of non-action of the Taiqing Saint!

However, this is still not over!

That distant, extremely far western Mount Sumeru.

The two Taoists, Jieyin and Zhunti, who had been waiting anxiously for countless eons, suddenly had a sudden inspiration!
Seeing that the Three Pure Ones of the East had all established their religions and become saints, the two were anxious, but they also knew that the West was barren and had no foundation for establishing a religion.

They immediately took a different approach and together made forty-eight earth-shattering and supreme vows to the heavens!

"If I attain unsurpassed enlightenment, there will be no hells, hungry ghosts, or animals in my land... If this is not the case, I will not attain perfect enlightenment!"

As those vows, imbued with boundless compassion and grand aspirations, were recited.

Boom——!!!!!!

Heaven has once again bestowed immeasurable merit for establishing the teachings!

"I am Jieyin (Zhunti). Today I establish the Western Religion to universally save all sentient beings and glorify the West!"

boom! boom!
Two more sage-like pressures, filled with compassion and the meaning of Nirvana, rose into the sky from Mount Sumeru!

Within a single day!
Five sages were born in succession!
