The people of the primordial era ruled the heavens and earth.

The sermon abruptly stopped, and the disciples who had been listening intently couldn't help but look at Tongtian with resentment.

I was just getting interested when you stopped. What do you mean by that?

Tongtian pretended not to see it, but Qin Tian and Houtu came to visit together, which was no small matter.

The battle at Mount Sumeru just now not only eliminated Jieyin, but also made Zhunti's newly risen arrogance a wake-up call for all the great powers in the world.

They all instructed their disciples not to oppress the human race, and passed on the portraits of Qin Tian and Hou Tu to their hearts.

They were strictly instructed to show them respect and not to disturb them.

Tongtian originally thought that with his Zhuxian Sword Formation, only the Four Sages could break it.

From then on, he should be the strongest among the saints.

After witnessing Qin Tian, ​​Houtu's brutal beating of Jieyin and Zhunti, he silently buried this thought in his heart.

These two are not to be trifled with; I'd better keep a low profile.

Therefore, he did not send his seated disciples to greet him.

Instead, he stood up and said, "Disciples, listen to my command! Great Venerable Qin Tian and Goddess Houtu have come to visit. Follow me to greet them."

Upon hearing this, the four direct disciples, Duobao, Wudang, Jinling, and Guiling, were all shocked.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

After a series of great battles, Qin Tian's name spread throughout the primordial world.

Everyone knows that Qin Tian of the human race is the most handsome guy in the world.

If you misbehave, I'll knock your head off.

"Yes." Duobao, Wudang, Jinling, and Guiling nodded in unison, and then each took charge of one side.

The demons, plant spirits, and immortals who came to listen to the sermon were arranged in a square formation and followed behind Tongtian, walking towards Qin Tian and Houtu.

Seeing Tongtian make such a show of force, Qin Tian's eyes flashed with surprise, and he laughed, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian really knows how to treat people, he's actually giving me so much face."

Houtu nodded: "Who says otherwise? I'm getting a little embarrassed."

"Don't be embarrassed, it's all because of your ability."

"You deserve all the prestige in the world."

Hearing Qin Tian's sudden words of love, Hou Tu blushed.

She didn't speak again, because Tongtian had already led a group of disciples to a short distance in front of her.

"Tongtian greets Fellow Daoist Qin Tian and Fellow Daoist Houtu."

"Duobao/Wudang/... pays respects to the Great Venerable Qin Tian and the Goddess Houtu."

"No need for formalities, please rise!" Qin Tian smiled and lightly flicked his sleeve.

Duobao, Wudang, Jinling, and other disciples of the Jie Sect immediately stood up involuntarily.

The entire process showed no trace of magic; it was entirely the application of the power of heaven and earth.

In an instant, Qin Tian had reaped a large basketful, drawing admiring and longing glances from the disciples of the Jie Sect.

"Qin Tian/Houtu greets Fellow Daoist Tongtian."

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to be so polite. I've already prepared cloud beds on the island. Please take your seats."

Qin Tian and Houtu exchanged a glance, and then Qin Tian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the invitation, Fellow Daoist Tongtian."

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. I'm the one who should be saying thank you."

Qin Tian and Hou Tu smiled and said nothing more. Together with Tong Tian, ​​they returned to Jin'ao Island side by side.

The cloud bed arranged by Tongtian was ingenious; it was placed in the same row as him, with no distinction between high and low.

Even Houtu's cloud bed was noticeably taller than his.

This made Houtu take a deep look at Tongtian, and then she silently adjusted her position to the same height.

Noticing Houtu's actions, Tongtian smiled.

He never expected that Houtu would be so adept at knowing when to advance and retreat.

This made him very happy.

Seeing this, Qin Tian's smile widened.

That's right, they all show consideration for each other.

They're much better than those clueless people.

"Fellow Daoist Qin Tian, ​​Fellow Daoist Hou Tu, why don't we have a discussion about the Dao?"

Qin Tian and Hou Tu nodded in unison: "Good!"

Upon hearing Qin Tian's greeting, "Fellow Daoist Houtu," Tongtian was overjoyed, his face beaming with a smile as radiant as a flower.

But the happiest were the disciples of the Jie Sect.

This is wonderful! I never imagined that I would live to hear three sages preach.

When the sage preached, it was extraordinary; heavenly flowers rained down and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough. The way of man is not so; he takes from those who have less than enough to give to those who have more than enough. Who can have more than enough to give to the world? Only the one who follows the Way..."

Time passed swiftly amidst the melodious and pleasant sounds of Taoism.

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Within a thousand years, as the news spread, people came to hear the teachings, among whom the dragons were the most extravagant.

After learning that Qin Tian, ​​Hou Tu, and Tong Tian were discussing the Dao on Jin'ao Island, Zhulong personally led the dragon clans of the four seas and a group of aquatic creatures to sit on the sea and listen to the Dao.

As far as the eye can see, the entire East China Sea is covered, and there is not a single empty place to stand.

Such a display of power aroused the envy of all the great beings in the world, who couldn't help but look on with envy.

Even more extreme, some people disregard their status as powerful beings and come to listen to the teachings in person.

After the sermon, Qin Tian and Hou Tu politely declined Tongtian's invitation and instead drank at Biyou Palace.

Instead, led by Zhulong, they arrived at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

This was Qin Tian and Hou Tu's first time going to sea, and they found everything interesting along the way.

Every now and then, Qin Tian would utter a classic line that would make Houtu burst into laughter.

The accompanying Zhulong kept his eyes down, his nose focused on his heart, and remained silent.

He simply led the way silently, acting as a tour guide, describing the various beautiful underwater landscapes.

After entering the Dragon Palace, Zhulong performed all sorts of shows again.

They enjoyed themselves immensely, clinking glasses and watching beautiful women dance.

"Your Excellency, the war between the Lich King and the Demon King has lasted for less than a thousand years."

"The great war is about to break out. We humbly request Your Excellency's guidance on how our dragon race should act at that time."

Hearing Zhulong's words, Qin Tian pondered for a moment.

According to his own thoughts, he naturally wished that the Lich and Demon races would fight as fiercely as possible.

But he had to consider Houtu's thoughts.

If too many people of the Wu tribe die, Houtu will undoubtedly be very unhappy and will definitely try to mediate by force.

The threat from Hongjun has not been eliminated.

Qin Tian knew perfectly well that this old guy, having been quiet for so many years, was definitely not holding back anything good.

He certainly wouldn't sit idly by and watch the human race grow stronger and become the protagonist of the world.

This is not in his interest; what he wants is to harvest the crops, gradually melting down all the creations of the primordial world and refining them into himself.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian frowned and said, "This matter is not urgent for now."

"The Lich War is still uncertain; you should prepare accordingly."

"I will tell you how to do it then."

Although he didn't get a definite answer from Qin Tian, ​​Zhulong wasn't dissatisfied. Instead, he said with a smile:

"Alright, Your Excellency, I will do as you say."

"Hmm." Qin Tian nodded and tossed a token engraved with the character "Tian" to Zhulong.

"Be careful of the two Western Saints. If you discover that they have any intention of attacking the Dragon Clan, tell me immediately."

"Don't take any chances, and don't be afraid to bother me."

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I understand!"

Zhulong took the token and solemnly put it into his pocket.
