Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

Chapter 112 Taiqing's Scheme! Golden Core? Unworthy of the Great Dao

"Chance!"

Fuxi was overjoyed to hear Nuwa's confident words.

How could he not be happy?

After much effort, there is finally hope again!

His long efforts have resulted in him having more than a dozen offspring. Although they are far from being able to establish a clan, they can still be considered part of the human race.

Humans born after birth can cultivate without accumulating merit, while humans born before birth can cultivate despite having merit. Which side should be in charge of human cultivation is a matter for another time to discuss!

As long as the acquired humans with cultivation take the lead, the human race's fortune will be forcibly taken from the innate humans!

At that time, their cultivation will surely increase dramatically, and they may even attain enlightenment!

This realization led Fuxi to understand that with more effort and perseverance, success is inevitable.

"From now on, this conclusion must be passed down by me, the Holy Father of Humanity—"

"Junior Sister Nuwa!"

Just as Fuxi and Nuwa were feeling smug and delighted, a voice devoid of any emotion suddenly came from above.

Nuwa and Fuxi looked up at the same time upon hearing the voice, and were greatly surprised when they saw the person who came.

"Senior Brother Taiqing?"

Taiqing Laozi looked down at the two people whose bodies were entwined by snakes, his face still ashen, and said, "I see that you, junior sister, wish to pass on the Dharma to the human race in order to compete for a share of destiny. Suddenly, you had a feeling and comprehended a method that is suitable for human cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's eyes flashed with delight, and she exclaimed, "Please, Senior Brother Taiqing, teach me by example!"

Fuxi: (o) Have I been ignored again?

Taiqing Laozi held the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, slowly saying, "I observe that all humans, whether born or acquired, possess spirit."

"Even the acquired Dao body created by my junior sister contains the spiritual essence of the Dao."

"Humans are born with the Dao body, unlike other living beings; therefore, spiritual essence should be the spiritual root of humanity!"

"With this spiritual root, one can refine qi, body, and essence from a mortal body, which is the right path for human cultivation!"

"This path requires the refinement of Qi, foundation building, golden core, nascent soul—body fusion—and transcending tribulations to become an immortal, then cultivating the immortal path. This is the Golden Core Great Dao, uniquely created by our Taiqing for the human race!"

"Golden Elixir Path - Golden Elixir Path -"

Nuwa murmured repeatedly, her eyes gradually brightening.

"This method doesn't require talent; even mortals can cultivate it, making it truly suitable for the human race!"

"Refining Qi, Foundation Building—one step at a time, using acquired knowledge to supplement innate knowledge. This practice can be cultivated not only by those with acquired talents but also by those with innate talents!"

"In this way, as long as the human race I created achieves its goals, it will surely be able to compete for the destiny of the human race and share in the merits of humanity!"

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Taiqing!"

Nuwa bowed deeply, no longer having any doubts, and was overjoyed.

Fuxi, who was observed from the sidelines and overlooked, was different from Nuwa.

He felt no surprise whatsoever; instead, he seemed lost in thought.

The Golden Core Path is indeed suitable for human cultivation, but this path gives humans a starting point that is many realms higher than that of other beings!

"Although this is a way to bestow cultivation methods upon the human race, it also suppresses the talents and comprehension of both the acquired and innate human races!"

This is not only oppressing the human race, but also—oppressing humanity!

Fuxi suddenly realized, and continued to deduce Taiqing's intentions. "No, that's not right!"

"This method is not only used to oppress the human race and humanity, but also to suppress my and Nuwa's schemes!"

"By bestowing cultivation techniques upon the human race, then Taiqing will become their teacher!"

In this way, he can also share in the human race's fortune, intervene in human affairs, and even uphold humanity!

This proves that it is not only about dividing the innate human race's destiny, but also about dividing my destiny with that of my sister Nuwa!

Brilliant calculation, brilliant plan!

Fuxi, having suddenly realized his mistake, felt that he had underestimated his senior brother.

This senior disciple seems to be a man of few words, and nothing seems to affect him at all.

But when they start scheming against people, they become so terrifying!

What has been supporting his magnificent and mysterious pagoda?

There are two demon gods, Luo and Wuxing, in this place. This action is out of fear, caution, and to save their lives!

It was hidden too well!

Walk!"

This sect is hiding too well; we must leave!

However, before leaving, one should still share in this merit, at the very least becoming a Holy Father of the Human Race and improving one's cultivation.

Then I'll pretend I don't know anything.

After making his plans, Fuxi looked at his descendants.

The first group of women conceived had five boys and four girls, and several more were born later, bringing the total to more than ten.

"Why haven't you all become my disciples yet?"

Upon hearing Fuxi's words, everyone simultaneously prostrated themselves before Taiqing, saying, "We pay our respects to the Elder—"

"There's no need for that."

Seeing this, Taiqing hurriedly waved his hand, lifting up all the people who wanted to bow, leaving only the eldest brother among them!

"I am passing on my teachings to you in order to help your mothers and to help you cultivate yourselves so that you may have the power to protect yourselves in the primordial world. You do not need to take me as your master."

As he spoke, Taiqing looked at the person who had not been lifted up by him, "And you—I see that you possess great enlightenment, great fortune, and great merit, and you also have an unparalleled heavenly spiritual root. You should be my eldest disciple."

"Disciple greets Master!"

As the human bowed, Taiqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you are my disciple, you should have a name. From now on, your name will be: Xuandu!"

"What do you think of this name?"

"Thank you so much, Master, for bestowing this name upon me!" Xuan Du was overjoyed and bowed in gratitude once more.

Taiqing stroked his beard. "I will now expound the Great Dao of the Golden Elixir. Xuandu, you must remember this well. From now on, you will be my disciple, passing this Dao down to all humankind on behalf of your master!"

"Your disciple will obey your instructions."

The moment Xuandu received the order, Taiqing turned and bowed to Hongjun: "This disciple humbly requests Master's assistance in spreading this Dao for the sake of the human race!"

"That's how it should be."

Hongjun's heart softened, and he responded with satisfaction.

He originally thought that the creation of heaven was no longer comparable to the creation of earth by Zhen Yuanzi.

But now it seems there's still a good chance of survival!

If the cultivation of the human race is successful, then Zhen Yuanzi's plan to cultivate the human race, and Qing Li's creation of the human race, will be in vain!

All good deeds will eventually be returned to Heaven to create the human race!

Fighting for destiny is the way to go!

With Hongjun's approval, Taiqing immediately released the Daoist aura of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, loudly proclaiming to the primordial world: "I am the true descendant of Pangu, Taiqing Laozi!"

"Seeing that after the birth of humankind, they were denied cultivation techniques and the opportunity to practice, and unable to bear the thought of humankind being ravaged by other races and becoming food for them, he spent several eons comprehending and creating a cultivation method called the Golden Core Path!"

"The Golden Core Path is divided into Qi Refining and Tribulation Transcending. This path can help mortals directly reach the Immortal Realm, making it accessible to all!"

"The Mirror of Heaven —"

"The Golden Elixir is unworthy to be the Great Dao!"

A majestic shout suddenly rang out, interrupting Taiqing's plea to the Heavenly Dao for guidance!

In the primordial world, who else besides Zhen Yuanzi, the master of both the Earth and Human Paths, would dare to interrupt or be able to interrupt a request for the Heavenly Dao to make a judgment?

'

Zhen Yuanzi's stern shout resounded throughout the entire prehistoric world!

Those who heard of it were all shocked.

Hongjun was enraged and, disregarding everything else, roared, "Zhen Yuanzi!"

"You old Wu Earth, why do you say that the Golden Elixir Dao created by my disciple Taiqing is unworthy of being called a Dao?"

"The Golden Elixir Path?"

Zhen Yuanzi sneered, "A mere petty path, daring to claim the name of the Great Dao?"

"The Great Dao! Only methods that can prove the Dao are worthy of being called the Great Dao!"

"The Daoist techniques created by a Great Luo Golden Immortal only reach the realm of Human Immortals; how can they be worthy of the name of the Great Dao?"

"Furthermore, neither your disciple Taiqing nor you, Hongjun, have yet attained sainthood!"

"What face do you, master and disciple, have to claim this path is the Great Way?"
