Guarding the ancient human race for a thousand years, yet ridiculed by the world.

Chapter 9 Taiqing Accepts Disciple Xuandu

Many human cultivators have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation and can no longer break through it.

The strongest among humans is only at the Refining Void and Integrating Dao realm of Qi Refiners.

Although the Refining of Emptiness and Integration with the Dao is the pinnacle of the Qi Refining stage, it is still far inferior to the powerful Earth Immortals and even Celestial Immortals on the Primordial Land.

So when Taiqing appeared, they couldn't wait to surround him and keep asking him questions.

Taiqing sat cross-legged beneath an ancient tree, his face calm and composed, and spoke softly:

"Quiet down, everyone, sit down!"

For Taiqing, this was the perfect opportunity to deceive the human race!

Taiqing has realized that the key to his sainthood lies within the human race.

As long as one gains the trust of the human race and establishes a religion, one can instantly become a saint by relying on the Primordial Purple Qi bestowed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the merits of the Great God Pangu in creating the world.

However, as things stand, although Taiqing has gained initial trust among the human race and shared a lot of the human race's fortune through spreading his teachings, he is not yet ready to become a saint.

Therefore, he must proceed gradually, waiting for the human race's fortune to accumulate to a certain degree before he can become a saint.

Therefore, the Taiqing Immortal Techniques he imparted to humankind were merely the most rudimentary ones.

Its upper limit is only the Refinement of Emptiness and Integration with the Dao, which is not even the Earth Immortal level.

Taiqing needs to gather more of the human race's fortune, so how could he possibly be willing to impart profound immortal techniques to the human race?

Moreover, in Taiqing's view, the human race is a weak race, no different from ants, and it would be a waste to teach them wonderful immortal techniques.

The human race is merely a tool for Taiqing to achieve sainthood...

The crowd quieted down, and they all sat cross-legged, their eyes burning as they stared intently at Taiqing, who was sitting on a futon.

For people, the immortal techniques taught by the Taiqing Immortal Master are countless times more exquisite and powerful than the techniques taught by the Holy Emperor.

After all, many human races have made breakthroughs in a short period of time!

However, little did they know that what Taiqing taught was merely a shortcut to enlightenment, the purpose of which was to attract them to believe in Taiqing and ultimately establish their own religion and become saints.

In reality, the method taught by Lin Xuan was based on his understanding of the human body's hidden secrets, making it very suitable for human cultivation and allowing one to cultivate all the way up to the Golden Immortal realm.

In terms of refinement, Taiqing's immortal techniques are crude and vulgar, not even close to being as sophisticated.

It's just that humans are naturally dull-witted and unable to grasp the mysteries within.

"My path to the Golden Core emphasizes... a gradual and step-by-step approach!"

Taiqing spoke, his face exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

"You are all too impatient!"

"Do you understand, proceed step by step?"

"Don't rush!"

"..."

Taiqing started to deceive people, leaving them completely confused.

Nevertheless, people still firmly believed in Taiqing's words.

Looking at the devout people, Taiqing smiled.

"Today, I, Taiqing, will choose one of you as my disciple. Is there anyone willing?"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Taiqing seized the opportunity and spoke.

"Immortal Master, please take me in!"

"Take me in!"

"I am willing to follow the Immortal Master!"

People's faces were filled with fervor, and they all rushed to speak.

Taiqing already had someone in mind, so he casually pointed:

"You're the one!"

One person's face lit up with joy, and he immediately ran out of the crowd.

And this person was none other than Gu Li.

Everyone couldn't help but cast envious glances at Gu Li.

Being accepted as a disciple by a celestial master means a bright future.

"Gu Li greets... Master!"

Gu Li came before Tai Qing and knelt down in joy.

Taiqing stroked his beard and smiled, then frowned.

"Your name is Gu Li?"

Taiqing asked.

Gu Li nodded and said, "Yes, Immortal Master!"

Taiqing shook his head and said, "No, no!"

Gu Li, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, immediately said, "Please, Immortal Master, bestow upon me a name!"

Taiqing laughed, "You're a promising student! Then I'll bestow upon you your name... Xuandu! You shall be the first disciple of my Taiqing lineage!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Li—no, he should now be called Xuan Du—kowtown and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Then, Xuandu stood behind Taiqing, looking devout, which aroused people's envy.

Taiqing pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"I have now accepted a disciple. In the future, I will continue to accept disciples!"

Taiqing threw out a bait and began to make grand promises.

In reality, Taiqing would never accept another disciple.

These humans are extremely poor in talent; only Xuandu could barely pass them off!

But Taiqing's words undoubtedly excited people immensely.

Seeing the people's eager and excited expressions, Taiqing was very satisfied.

"That's all for today, everyone may leave! I will resume my sermons in a year!"

Taiqing was not in a hurry to establish a religion. He wanted to first take on disciples and then absorb more of the faith and fortune of the human race.

……

In the distance, Suirenshi watched this scene and sighed deeply.

However, he was not discouraged and continued to diligently practice the techniques taught by Lin Xuan.

A small number of Suirenshi's confidants also practiced the cultivation together.

……

The primordial land,

Penglai Purple Palace.

At this moment, due to the Zhou Tian Star Array, stars were falling, and the entire Zi Fu Continent was bombarded and shattered...

Emperor Jun and Taiyi even took the opportunity to send the ten demon gods to attack!

Countless Grand Luo cultivators in Zifu Continent were slaughtered!

In an instant, the sky was stained with blood, and corpses littered the ground...

In the end, the Eastern King was killed!

The demon race conquered Zifu Continent, and countless cultivators of Zifu Continent had no choice but to submit after seeing the fall of the Eastern King!

Thus, the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court gained another group of powerful cultivators.

"Hahaha----"

Di Jun burst into wild laughter: "From this day forward, in the primordial world, only my demon race reigns supreme!"

Taiyi, standing to the side, also had a glint in his eyes.

Now that the Zhou Tian Star Array is complete and the Purple Mansion Continent has submitted, all that remains is to refine the Witch-Slaying Sword!

As long as a large number of humans emerge, the Slaughtering Witch Sword can absorb the essence and souls of humans and achieve its full potential!

At that time, we can defeat the demon race and dominate the primordial world!

……

Lin Xuan knew nothing about the outside world, nor did he want to know.

He has now condensed a wisp of primordial energy within his body.

Once the primordial energy is condensed, the rest will be much easier.

Simply follow the prescribed path of practice.

A hint of joy flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, but his expression quickly returned to calm. He closed his eyes and continued his cultivation...

……

After the human tribes gained benefits from the demon race, more and more people frantically poured out of the border.

They arrived at the city transformed by the demon race, and became so engrossed in it that they couldn't tear themselves away...

The demons watched all this with a cold smile playing on their lips.

Enjoy it, enjoy it to the fullest, this is your last bit of madness...

……

Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.

The news spread quickly, and not only the human tribes on the shores of the East Sea learned of the beauty of the outside world, but also the human tribes on the shores of the four seas.

They emulated the human tribes on the shores of the East Sea, leaving their human habitats and exchanging cheap goods with the demon race.

More and more people are leaving human habitats and integrating into the demon race.
