Primordial Era: Reborn as a Tortoise, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 114 Humanity's fortune is bad, but the fortune of humanity can.

"We humbly request the Dao Ancestor Guixuan to enlighten us!"

Kunpeng's sinister face turned bitter.

Owes a karmic debt to a Daoist patriarch; the slightest carelessness could lead to annihilation.

Moreover, the Dao Ancestor before us is no ordinary Dao Ancestor.

He is an existence capable of fighting against the Dao Ancestor of the Xuanmen Sect, whose combat power surpasses that of the Primordial World.

Tai Xuan Daoist did not speak, but pointed his finger, and a stream of light flew into Kunpeng's mind.

Kunpeng shuddered.

A wealth of insights came to him.

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and Kunpeng's aura suddenly surged, reaching the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

Once a suitable spiritual treasure is found, the corpse can be severed once more.

"Forgive me, Dao Ancestor Guixuan! I, Kunpeng, will obey any command from you, even at the cost of my life!"

Kunpeng looked excited and said respectfully.

A true word is passed on, and a thousand volumes of books are falsely passed on.

He never expected that Dao Ancestor Guixuan would directly impart the power of the laws of wind and water to him without missing a single detail.

If given more time, reaching the late stage of Quasi-Saint realm would be a piece of cake!

Such acts are comparable to the grace of preaching.

The Taoist Master Tai Xuan said, "There are three causes and effects between us."

"One is to preach the Dao to Kongyuan of Beihai."

Kunpeng felt uneasy upon hearing this.

However, Tai Xuan continued, "The second is the Way of Law today."

Kunpeng performed a salute.

The Taoist Tai Xuan paused, then said, "The third item is from your Kunpeng Nest."

boom!

Kunpeng shuddered and stared at Tai Xuan Daoist in disbelief.

But then Tai Xuan said, "You don't really think that ten-thousand-foot-deep pool of blood appeared out of nowhere, do you?"

If it weren't for my kindness in leaving you some soup, you wouldn't have been able to comprehend the laws of speed at all.

"The Dao Ancestor Guixuan is merciful!"

Kunpeng's expression was serious.

Master Tai Xuan nodded. "I know the Hetu and Luoshu are in your hands. This treasure is of some use to me. You can hand it over to me."

Kunpeng's heart stirred, but his eyes hesitated.

The Hetu and Luoshu were things he planned to give to Goddess Nuwa in exchange for the karma of his previous betrayal of the demon race.

With this treasure, perhaps even the Goddess Nuwa can forgive the demon race's previous actions.

If we were to give it to Dao Ancestor Guixuan today, how would we explain it to Goddess Nuwa?

However, it seemed that Tai Xuan Dao Ren could see through Kun Peng's thoughts and said, "I can give you this Demon Banner. You can use it to exchange for Nuwa's forgiveness."

As he spoke, a stream of light flew out from the Demon-Summoning Banner in Tai Xuan Dao Ren's hand and landed in Kun Peng's palm.

It was the same banner from just now.

Kunpeng's eyes narrowed, and he began to speculate about what Guixuan Daozu had done.

Without further hesitation, he flipped his hand, and the Hetu Luoshu appeared in his palm, flying towards the Taixuan Daoist.

Master Tai Xuan nodded. "Excellent!"

With that, Kunpeng waved his hand and disappeared into the human territory.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already traversed endless space and returned to the Northern Underworld.

"The power of the Dao Ancestor Guixuan is terrifying!"

An avatar, in the blink of an eye, allows him to freely summon a quasi-saint.

Such power left Kunpeng in disbelief.

"You may go to the Buddhist land of the East Sea to find Hongyun. If you wish, you may receive the position of a Buddha."

The words of the Taoist Tai Xuan appeared in Kunpeng's ears.

This made Kunpeng's eyes light up.

Looking at the demon-summoning banner in his palm, he flew towards the direction of Nuwa Palace without hesitation.

······

The land of humans.

The Taoist Master Tai Xuan looked at the Hetu Luoshu in his hand, his eyes shining brightly.

This treasure is ranked among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures and is Di Jun's companion spiritual treasure.

It can be used to deduce the mysteries of the heavens and for astrological divination.

The Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation, one of the two great formations of the demon race, was something that Di Jun comprehended from this treasure.

It was later borrowed by Fuxi, who was able to comprehend the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams from it, thus helping him to attain enlightenment.

"This treasure possesses the ability to deduce the secrets of heaven. I do not believe that Emperor Jun, as a demon emperor, would so easily self-destruct."

None of the ancient deities were simple.

Emperor Jun possessed this treasure, but he only managed to comprehend the formation from it.

It's simply unbelievable that he doesn't demonstrate any ability to deduce the secrets of heaven.

Endless primordial spirit power surged into the Hetu Luoshu, and in the blink of an eye, the 48 innate restrictions were refined by the Tai Xuan Daoist.

A glint of light flashed in Tai Xuan Daoist's eyes. "Here it is!"

Soon he found a broken primordial spirit in a remote corner of the Hetu Luoshu.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a three-legged golden crow, its energy waning, drifting motionless inside.

It was the primordial spirit left behind by Emperor Jun.

"I knew it, these ancient deities are all incredibly shrewd."

As he pondered, the Chaos Bell appeared in his palm.

Soon, he found the broken primordial spirit of Donghuang Taiyi.

"In that case, you may come to my world and become the sun."

With a flick of their primordial spirit power, the broken primordial spirits of Di Jun and Tai Yi were pulled by the Taoist Tai Xuan into a middle-thousand world, where they transformed into two faint suns floating in the void.

This is the turtle-shell world of Guixuan's original form.

Using the essence of this realm, the primordial spirits of the two demon emperors were repaired, allowing them to be reborn.

How will the demon race repay such a debt of karma?

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside.

"The human race's Suirenshi has come, hoping to meet the Daoist Taixuan."

The Taoist Tai Xuan put away the magical treasure before him and said calmly, "Enter!"

It has been a long time since we've seen Suirenshi, the ancestor of mankind.

I wonder what brings you here.

Upon seeing Suirenshi again, the Taoist Taixuan felt a surge of emotion.

This ancestor of humanity experienced a great calamity for the human race, led the human race in battle against the demon race, and awed the primordial land.

He enjoys high prestige among humans and has become one of their beliefs.

Suirenshi was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his thin face looked very dignified.

Compared to before the great calamity of the human race, he now possessed a profound and weighty power.

His cultivation level was just one step away from reaching the Quasi-Saint realm.

The Taoist Tai Xuan smiled and asked, "May I ask what brings the Ancestor of Humanity here?"

This was the first time he had seen Suirenshi again after hundreds of thousands of years of transmission to the human race.

Suirenshi looked at this Taoist who was quite famous among the human race, his mind filled with thoughts.

This Taoist's aura was ethereal and seemingly nonexistent; he couldn't even discern the other's strength.

I don't know which race these hermits are, but they've come to preach to the human race.

Since the Lich War, the human race has been recuperating and rebuilding.

Relying on their strong reproductive capacity, the population has multiplied everywhere.

To avoid arousing the suspicion of other races, the three ancestors of the human race specifically instructed that the human race's strength must not be revealed.

The purpose of this visit was to investigate the background of this Tai Xuan Daoist and see if he harbored any hostility towards the human race.

Suirenshi spoke slowly, "Today I had a sudden inspiration and traveled through the human realm. I heard of the renowned Daoist Taixuan and came here today to meet him. I never expected that you, senior, would be such a virtuous and accomplished master."

Since the other party was stronger than him, Suirenshi could only address him as a senior.

Tai Xuan Daoist smiled and said, "You little rascal, when did you become so cunning?"

"Just say you want to probe the old Taoist's secrets; there's no need to beat around the bush."

Suirenshi was taken aback, "Uh..."

Suddenly, a very familiar feeling arose in his heart.

After a long while, Suirenshi opened his eyes wide and said, "Return..."

"Alright!" Tai Xuan Dao Ren interrupted Sui Ren Shi, "I'm here only to preach, you don't need to overthink it."

"Greetings, teacher!"

Suirenshi's eyes were filled with excitement.

The Dao Ancestor Guixuan once enlightened him, instructing him to seek light for humanity and dispel the fear in his heart.

In Suirenshi's mind, he was already like a teacher.

Seeing each other again inevitably brings joy.

With a flick of his finger, the Taoist Tai Xuan sent a beam of light onto Suirenshi.

The next second, Suirenshi's aura surged, and streams of bloody, foul energy continuously fell from his body.

Suirenshi immediately felt refreshed and relaxed all over.

"He suffered such a serious injury and didn't even rest. What's he doing working so hard all day?"

The Taoist Master Tai Xuan spoke with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).

Throughout the history of human development, our ancestors were always the most hardworking.

Suirenshi said respectfully, "The human race has a shallow foundation and has not yet recovered from the great calamity. This disciple dares not be negligent."

With a flick of his hand, Tai Xuan Dao Ren lifted Sui Ren Shi up.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; why are you doing this?"

"If I hadn't come, your body would have only lasted a hundred huiyuan at most; I'm afraid you would have perished before you even saw the rise of the human race."

After the great calamity of the human race, all three ancestors of the human race were seriously injured, and their injuries have not healed to this day, but have instead become more serious.

Suirenshi was the most seriously injured.

Upon hearing what the Taoist Tai Xuan said, Suirenshi smiled and said, "The human race has a stele for the inheritance of teachers. Those with talent can comprehend the methods of alchemy and healing from within the stele."

"We, the wounded humans, can provide them with some experience."

This is like using oneself as a guinea pig.

Tai Xuan felt helpless.

"The Lich Wars have passed; the next war will bring great prosperity to the human race."

"Humanity will establish itself as the protagonist of the world during this great calamity. At that time, the Three Sovereigns will rule the world. After the Three Sovereigns descend, you will go with the other two human ancestors to my immortal island for quiet cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Suirenshi was overjoyed, exclaiming, "My human race can become the protagonist of heaven and earth?"

This is an opportunity that will last for eternity!

Tai Xuan Daoist glanced at him. "Then why do you think the human race was able to enable two sages to become saints?"

"Do you think you can rely on your large population? Throughout the entire prehistoric world, which race didn't have a larger population than the human race at the very beginning?"

Suirenshi nodded.

Only after his teacher said that did he truly realize the special nature of the human race.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Teacher, I wonder if it is possible for a sage to be born among our human race?"

Whether it was the Holy Mother Nuwa or the Sage Taiqing, although both of them relied on human sages to become saints, they never cared about the human race at all.

When the great calamity befell humanity, neither of these two sages offered any assistance.

Both the three ancestors of humanity and the surviving humans harbored resentment towards this, though they did not say it aloud.

Upon hearing what the Taoist Tai Xuan said, Suirenshi, realizing the uniqueness of the human race, immediately wanted to create a sage of his own within the human race.

As the saying goes, "Mountains crumble when you rely on them, and people run away when you rely on them."

Only what you own is the best.

When Tai Xuan Dao Ren heard Sui Ren Shi ask this question, he knew what Sui Ren Shi was thinking.

He laughed and said, "You really think that the luck of the human race is omnipotent and can mass-produce saints?"

As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times.

"The human race's fortune has already given birth to two saints. If a third saint is to be born, then the human race will not be far from extinction."

Suirenshi's face stiffened, a bitter feeling rising in his heart. "Is there no hope for my human race?"

Controlled by saints of other races and becoming their pawns, what difference is there between them and mere playthings?

Just then, the Taoist Master Tai Xuan suddenly exclaimed, "Yes!"

"Human destiny cannot be changed, but the destiny of humanity can."
