The primordial era began with the mythological age.

The natural choice of gourd vine is certainly not bad, but it may not necessarily get what it wants. «-(¯`v´¯)-« ➅9𝐬Ⓗ𝔲𝓍.cⓄ𝐌 »-(¯`v´¯)-»

Taiqing has already attained enlightenment, and Shangqing and others all have the potential to attain enlightenment, but who can attain enlightenment with the gourd of the innate gourd vine?

Nuwa and the others couldn't help but ponder Taiqing's words.

As of now, apart from Taiqing, who has already attained enlightenment, everyone else has determined their own path.

Of the seven gourds, six are currently mature, but none of them fully align with the path they are about to take.

Of course, although she did not attain enlightenment, Nuwa knew that she could not possibly attain enlightenment by merely attaining the innate state of creation.

She will inevitably follow in the footsteps of the Thai King to pursue her own Taiyi.

Or perhaps it is the creation of the innate realm that unifies the other innate Dao realms...

Time passed slowly, and the seventh gourd finally matured, then flew straight to Emperor Yi.

Yi Di Shi took the gourd and was immediately taken aback, because the gourd contained the great supernatural powers of Yin and Yang, water and fire, which were exactly in line with the path she was currently on.

Moreover, this gourd is very compatible with the Water-Fire Qilin Jade Embryo she had previously obtained at the Treasure Dividing Rock.

Previously, she intended to integrate the Water-Fire Qilin Jade Embryo into her Dao-attaining treasure, the Water-Fire Yin-Yang Diagram. However, now that she has obtained this Water-Fire Yin-Yang Gourd, she cannot help but hesitate.

At this moment, Taiqing and the others saw that the gourd vine had exhausted its last bit of essence and withered on the ground, so they all took their leave.

Yi Di Shi also came to his senses, returned the greetings to Tai Qing, Di Jun and the others, and watched them leave.

Soon, only Yi Di, Fu Xi, and Nuwa remained in this cave.

Looking at the place where the innate gourd vine had grown, Yi Di Shi said, "Nuwa, although this gourd vine has withered, its roots should still be there. Let's take a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa immediately stepped forward, brushed aside the ashes turned from the withered primordial gourd vine, dug through the soil, and unearthed a dark green root. To everyone's surprise, a piece of primordial soil, shrouded in chaotic energy, was hanging on the root.

Fuxi looked at it and smiled, "Your Majesty has discerning eyes. This root system can also be refined into a primordial spiritual treasure, and this Breath Soil is an excellent soil for cultivating primordial spiritual roots."

Yi Di Shi said, "Nuwa, this Breath Soil is perfect for you."

"And this gourd root, you can use it to refine into a whip."

Since Yi Di Shi had said so, Nuwa Shi did not stand on ceremony and put away the two treasures.

The three of them then left the cave together and received a message from Suirenshi. They immediately went to the Emperor's Palace on Shouyang Mountain.

When the three arrived, many human gods, Golden Immortals, and even the Human King, including the Five Dragons Clan and the Giant Spirit Clan, were present.

After exchanging greetings and taking their seats, Suirenshi began to convey the message of Donghuang Taiyi to the many immortals and gods in the hall.

People like Huaxu, Yidi, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Wulong immediately understood the origin of what Suiren had said.

However, some people did not understand and said, "Your Majesty, our human race is now pursuing various paths, and with the teachings passed down by Emperor Tai, we are not lacking in the core inheritances of these paths."

"There is also the Mountain and River Map as a place for inheritance, where everyone can cultivate."

"If outsiders are brought into the human race to establish temples, spread their teachings, and take on disciples, there is a risk of division among the human race."

These words were agreed upon by many of the kings.

Since the reign of King Tae, the status of the human race has been quite different from that of the reign of the human emperor.

Although sacrifices are still offered to the gods of Heaven, it has become a transaction, no longer a matter of low status as in the era of the Human Emperor, where the power of sacrifice was readily demanded.

Not to mention the close relationship between the Wu tribe and the human tribe, when the True Martial Emperor pioneered martial arts, he did not accept disciples or establish any martial arts schools among the human tribe.

There are many martial arts practitioners among the human race, and everyone worships the True Martial Emperor, so the human race has a great influence.

However, if the True Martial Emperor wanted these human martial arts practitioners to follow him, he would not be able to command such a large following.

However, if the True Martial Emperor establishes a Taoist temple among the human race and recruits many disciples, then it will be different; it will be equivalent to having a separate force within the human race.

One force is fine, but if there are many, the human race will indeed be fragmented and inevitably affected by these forces.

Such concerns are indeed not unfounded.

Upon hearing this, Suirenshi smiled at the human king who had expressed his concerns and said, "Jinghua, if the Primordial God wanted to take you as his disciple, would you be willing?"

"It is my own wish..."

Jinghua opened her mouth, then froze, realizing what was happening.

Humans cannot stop those powerful beings from entering the human race to take on disciples and spread their teachings!

At this moment, the head of the Five Dragons Clan, Huang Bo, said: "With the protection of the Emperor Tai, the status of the human race is now different. There is no need to belittle ourselves. However, the world is vast, so we must not be arrogant."

"Racial development and spiritual practice are essentially the same; both are like rowing against the current—if you don't advance, you fall behind."

"As Emperor Sui said, although the Map of Mountains and Rivers can ensure the continuation of the human race and allow everyone to cultivate if they wish, it cannot be all-encompassing."

"Even a single tree has no two leaves alike, let alone an entire race?"

"Some people are suited to martial arts, some to immortality, some to divinity, some to witchcraft, and even some to ghosts, and so on. The Mountain and River Map cannot unlock everyone's potential, firstly, and secondly, with a teacher to guide and instruct, one can avoid many detours on the path of cultivation."

"With the Tai Emperor, the Sui Emperor, the Human Emperor's Palace, and the Human King's Palace, who can overthrow the human race?"

The Imperial Uncle smiled proudly, then changed the subject and said, "Not to mention, if those great supernatural beings were to establish dojos and spread their teachings among the human race, their purpose would not be to overthrow the human race, but rather for their own great path."

"Weighing the pros and cons, for our human race, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages."

Empress Yi nodded in agreement: "What the Imperial Uncle says is absolutely right."

"Moreover, whether those great supernatural beings will come to the human race to establish dojos and recruit disciples is another matter for now, but we can push for it within the human race first."

"If the 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' is meant to enable every member of the human race to cultivate, then you, the pioneers of the human race, should also select the best talents and refine the finest gems for the human race, so that there will be successors and the human race will never decline!"

She knew very well that Donghuang Taiyi was the primordial spirit of Taiyi. Since Donghuang Taiyi's intentions were her husband's plans, she naturally agreed to them.

Not to mention that this matter is inherently beneficial to the human race.

After clarifying the pros and cons, the next step was to discuss whether the human race should establish a separate lineage.

Some people proposed to establish a religion called the Human Religion, with each emperor being the leader of the Human Religion.

Some have suggested that all the kings in the Human King's Palace should be placed in one lineage to cultivate elites in preparation for becoming the Human Emperor.

However, all these proposals were rejected by Suirenshi, and even Wulongshi and Yidishi.

The establishment of the Human Religion, with the Human Emperor as its leader, was seen as a sign that the human race was considered a single entity.

Furthermore, the fact that each Human King in the Human King's Palace has their own lineage makes it easier for the human race to split apart, intensifying internal strife.

Suirenshi had already made a decision on this matter, and the Human Emperor's Palace and the Human King's Palace would not change.

In the human race, the ruler of a country or the head of a tribe is called the King.

He cultivated himself into a god-king, and also became a human king, entering the Human King's Palace.

As for whether or not to establish a lineage, accept disciples, and spread the teachings, there are no restrictions, and even human strongmen are encouraged to spread the teachings, but this does not involve the authority of human emperors or kings.

In Suirenshi's view, the transmission of the Mountain and River Map was to enable the human race to cultivate as widely as possible.

The rise of religious sects serves to select elites for the human race.

In the end, the essence of humanity will gather in the Human King's Palace, from which the Human Emperor will be born.

The Human Emperor is supreme among humans, and no sect can surpass him!

After the rules were set, the Five Dragons Clan took the lead in announcing that they would establish the Five Emperors Sect to pass on their own lineage and climb towards the Innate Dao Realm.

Giant Spirit then chuckled and said, "Then I will also establish a religion, which I will call the Giant Spirit Divine Religion."

There are still too few people who specialize in axe techniques; He also needs to cultivate some like-minded individuals.

Fuxi transmitted his voice to his sister Nuwa, saying with a smile, "Sister, would you like to establish a religion as well?"

Nuwa pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Father is right. The wisdom of one person is not as good as the wisdom of many. I shall establish a religion, which shall be called... Mending the Heavens!"

Mending the sky?

Fuxi was stunned; these two words held profound meaning.

He created the Eight Trigrams, and only then did this principle exist in the world. Isn't that like mending the sky?

Those who cultivate the world practice the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but aren't they also mending the heavens?

Looking at what the Thai Emperor did, he created the system of cultivating gods after birth, created the method of proving the Dao, created the Dao Fruit realm above the God Venerable and the Great Luo, and even went so far as to split the Dao into the Nine Heavens and evolve the Thirty-Three Heavens, all of which were for mending the heavens.

There is also Houtu Niangniang, whose body is reincarnated and who is also mending the sky.

Everyone cultivates the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, pursuing transcendence of the universe, but everyone is also mending the sky!

By establishing a temple, accepting disciples, and spreading the teachings, and by borrowing the wisdom of others to supplement oneself, isn't this also "supplementing the heavens"?

There was much discussion inside the Emperor's Palace, and soon more than a hundred sects had joined.

After the meeting ended, the numerous deities, immortals, and human kings all took their own actions, establishing their own dojos and selecting worthy disciples.

However, Yi Di Shi left Shouyang Mountain and came to the Taihuang Palace in the battlefield of myriad realms from the primordial world.

Upon seeing the Yin-Yang Gourd of Water and Fire and the Qilin Jade of Water and Fire, Taiyi understood the reason and laughed, "At the level of supreme treasures, innate and acquired are no longer important."

"Once you attain enlightenment, the Yin-Yang Diagram of Water and Fire will be acquired in the primordial world, but it will be innate in you."

"When we enter the next chaotic era, we will also be innate for that next chaotic era."

"Suitability is the most important thing!"

Having made his decision, Emperor Yi immediately sent the Water-Fire Qilin Jade Embryo into the Water-Fire Yin-Yang Gourd, where it was transformed into a new innate spiritual treasure.

Taiyi suggested, "Why not be with God and treasure, and transform together with them?"

His primordial spirit was born through the Chaos Bell and transformed into a primordial deity.

"good!"

Yi Di nodded, and then his primordial spirit left his body and entered the Water and Fire Yin-Yang Gourd.

Taiyi immediately stepped in to help Yidi.

Fortunately, the gourds produced by the innate gourd vine all contain hidden wonders within, just like a grotto-heaven.

As the primordial spirit began to transform, the body of Emperor Yi did not return to the prehistoric world, but stayed in the Tai Palace to accompany Emperor Tai Yi.

In the primordial world, as time passed, numerous sects suddenly sprang up among the human race like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, quickly attracting the attention of other races.

Immediately afterwards, in the netherworld, the Goddess Pingxin, who was in charge of reincarnation, sent a message to all the heavens of the Three Realms, and three thousand years later, she accepted disciples in the Pingxin Palace.

This move instantly ignited the entire prehistoric world. Countless cultivators flocked to the idea of ​​Lady Pingxin taking on disciples, and many powerful beings and various races were also pondering its profound meaning.

The changes in the human race were not significant, but then Empress Pingxin announced throughout the prehistoric world that she would be taking on disciples. There must be a deeper meaning behind this, and it must be related to Emperor Tai and Emperor Dong. (End of Chapter)
