Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

Inside the Dou Niu Palace, with the formation of the Wuji Dao Pill in the Nine Yang Cauldron, Zhou Yi clearly felt that the formation of the pill was unstable, as if it was about to collapse at any moment!

Buzzing...

Is the oven about to explode?

"As expected, my cultivation level is still insufficient. Even with a heavenly Dao-level alchemy technique like the Heaven and Earth Furnace, refining Dao Pills is still so difficult..."

Sensing the impending failure, Zhou Yi understood that due to his cultivation level, no matter how powerful the Heaven and Earth Furnace was, the creation he had stolen from heaven and earth was still insufficient to refine the Limitless Dao Pill!

"Therefore, we have no choice but to try another option..."

With a thought, wisps of primordial energy flew from Zhou Yi's hand and entered the Nine Yang Cauldron. At the same time, the Chaos Green Lotus emitted divine light, connecting with the Gate of Creation of the Great Dao!

With the Chaos Green Lotus as a bridge, the power of creation of the Great Dao began to continuously act on the Nine Yang Cauldron!

Buzzing.....

A divine light burst forth, and after several breaths, the Nine Yang Cauldron finally stopped vibrating.

"So, it's a success?... "

Zhou Yi was overjoyed. He probed the cauldron with his divine sense and found that there were indeed nine Limitless Dao Pills. Each of them was the size of the Earth in Zhou Yi's previous life and was radiating boundless divine light!

It kept vibrating!

One contraction, one expansion!

With each vibration, it shrinks by a large size!

"Indeed, the power of the Great Dao is truly profound! It will make alchemy much easier in the future!" Seeing that the nine Limitless Great Dao Pills in the Nine Yang Cauldron had successfully formed!

That's a relief!

Although the Jade Emperor gave him double the alchemy materials, Zhou Yi didn't want to fail. The materials for a single batch of Limitless Dao Pills were simply too rare!

He doesn't know how many years it would take him to collect all that money!

Buzzing...

As time passed, after eighty-one days, the nine Limitless Dao Pills in the alchemy furnace had grown from the size of the Earth to the size of pigeon eggs.

The pill was grayish overall, with a layer of mysterious divine patterns covering its surface, making it impossible to see clearly what was inside.

Although its appearance is not as good as a ninth-grade divine pill, Zhou Yi, as an alchemist, can clearly feel the energy and profound Daoist charm it contains.

Its energy intensity is far superior to that of ordinary ninth-tier divine pills!

The profound mystery of the Great Dao is even more so!

It's like comparing heaven and earth!

"No wonder the Dao Pill is so rare and expensive in the Three Realms!"

Even if one doesn't use such a divine object, it's unlikely to be traded with others, unless it's something of truly great value!

Zhou Yi thought to himself.

.......

At this moment, in the Tushita Palace of the Taiqing Heaven!

Laozi looked calmly at the kneeling 'descendant' before him. "Dan Yuanzi, is it?"

"Reporting to the Holy Ancestor, I am Li Yuan, with the Daoist name Dan Yuanzi."

Dan Yuanzi answered cautiously!

"Hmm, I never expected that among my juniors there would be someone with such talent in alchemy as you!" Laozi nodded slightly. As for his juniors, they were all people who had done things before they awakened their innate wisdom.

The Sage Taiqing did not stop him, so that his incarnation could experience the mortal world and taste all the flavors of life, including getting married and having children!

That is why the descendants of the saints came into being!

Of course, to be precise, these people can only be the descendants of the incarnations, and have no connection with Taiqing himself in terms of destiny. After all, as a saint, he does not want others to share his destiny.

Moreover, his so-called descendants are really not very talented!

So many years have passed, and not even a single Great Luo Golden Immortal has emerged. You must know that these descendants of saints cultivate the First Grade Golden Core method!

Furthermore, with the title of "Saint's Descendant," as long as they don't court death, the powerful beings of the Three Realms will generally turn a blind eye and won't hold it against them. Human dynasties will also try to win them over!

Unfortunately, perhaps we've become too used to the good life and have lost our goals!

So much so that for so many years, only the Taiyi Golden Immortal has been there to maintain appearances!

If it weren't for the fact that he left behind a top-grade acquired merit treasure to suppress his fortune back then, the so-called holy descendant of the Li family would at most be a second-rate immortal clan!

Then look at the person in front of me.

"His aptitude was indeed a bit lacking, and he only broke through to the Golden Immortal realm when his lifespan was about to run out. However, he was also very fortunate to obtain a primordial spiritual root and exchange it for a primordial nascent pill."

With your current innate spiritual constitution!

The path of Taiyi isn't particularly difficult, but the fifth-grade human flower is indeed a bit low. I'll lay a good foundation for you later, and perhaps you'll be able to produce a superior-grade three-flower!

Not to mention becoming a Quasi-Saint in the future, becoming a Grand Luo Immortal is still not difficult!

From now on, you'll be considered part of the Li family's other branch!

As he spoke, Laozi thought for a moment, "You are able to refine divine pills at the Golden Immortal level, which shows your remarkable talent in alchemy. Today, I will bestow upon you two treasures as heirlooms for your branch of the Li family!"

Whoosh...

Two beams of divine light flew out and hovered in front of Dan Yuanzi!

It was a pill furnace and a large seal, with the words "Mysterious Kongtong" on the seal, revealing an unparalleled aura!

Upon hearing Laozi's words, Dan Yuanzi immediately understood. The sage had acknowledged him as a descendant. Overjoyed, Dan Yuanzi thought to himself.

Looking at the two treasures in front of him, Dan Yuanzi was already a little overwhelmed!

The alchemy furnace is alright; it should be a postnatal spiritual treasure!

However, the innate Daoist charm revealed on this large seal clearly indicates that it is an innate spiritual treasure.

His original family's treasured artifact, the Li family's guardian spirit treasure, was merely an acquired merit-based spirit treasure!

Okay, a top-grade acquired merit-based spiritual treasure is far more valuable than an ordinary innate spiritual treasure, but... this is an innate spiritual treasure...

This made Dan Yuanzi tremble all over!

"Holy Ancestor, this..."

At this moment, Dan Yuanzi understood that his ancestor had accepted him, and from now on, his lineage could also refer to itself as a descendant of the saints, just like the direct line.

Of course I'm very happy!

However, he did not understand the ancestor's intention regarding the two treasures before him, especially the innate spiritual treasure with two divine patterns called "Kongtong" on it. Perhaps this was the Kongtong Seal, the supreme treasure of the human path in the past!

He knew about the Kongtong Seal!

Since the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Tree came into being and came into harmony with humanity, Kongtong has become useless and is no longer a supreme treasure of humanity; it can only be considered a supreme treasure of human rulers.

"This furnace is a wind and fire furnace, ranking among the top-grade acquired spiritual treasures, and will be of great help to your alchemy."

I hope to see someone from your lineage soon emerge who can refine a ninth-grade divine pill.

As for this large seal..."

Upon seeing this great seal, Laozi sighed helplessly. Back then, with the help of this great seal, he was able to control the human race, the human emperor, and even the way of humanity.

The reason why Hongjun was able to continuously erode the origin of humanity with the Heavenly Dao was also due to his assistance.

Without this supreme treasure of humanity, Hongjun would never have been able to do it so easily...

Unfortunately... this also incurred the wrath of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the hatred of humanity. After Rahu integrated the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Tree into humanity, the Kongtong Seal, this supreme treasure of humanity, was no longer needed!

He directly suppressed humanity with the Chaos Spiritual Root, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Tree!

From then on, the Kongtong Seal in Taiqing's hands went from being a supreme treasure of humanity comparable to a supreme innate treasure to an ordinary top-tier innate spiritual treasure!

"This treasure can help your lineage ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor! Of course, whether you succeed or not depends entirely on your own efforts..."

"Ah...the Holy Ancestor is referring to the Human Emperor?"

But......."

Upon hearing this, Dan Yuanzi was somewhat incredulous. He was a cultivator who had already achieved the Golden Immortal realm and lived for over 100,000 years. He knew almost everything he could about the affairs of the Three Realms.

He knew all too well what became of those human kings who aspired to become emperors...
