Chapter 46 Houtu Clan! (Please vote and give monthly tickets to continue reading)

Inside the carriage cave.

Taiyi and others were discussing metaphysics and Taoism, but in reality, it was mainly Taiyi and Zhuxiang who were talking.

Li Ling and the others listened intently, drawing nourishment from it to enhance their own cultivation.

Zhu Xiangshi was a divine ruler. Even though Taiyishi made rapid progress, Zhu Xiangshi was still a mountain whose peak he could not see.

During this period, Taiyi also accumulated a lot of doubts, most of which were now answered by Zhuxiang.

This made Taiyi realize even more that the gap between each realm in the Divine Path system was so vast that it was almost insurmountable.

In general, the key to this difference is not magical power, but the Dao!

This also made him realize that by using divine artifacts and spiritual treasures to surpass others and exceed their realms, he was actually borrowing the great Dao within those artifacts and spiritual treasures.

……

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

As dusk fell, Taiyi finally returned to Xiaocang Mountain, where Juling was already waiting.

Or rather, for the past year or so, he has spent most of his time in Xiaocang Mountain, taking care of the Tai tribe for the Tai Yi clan.

Zhu Xiangshi did not linger at Xiaocang Mountain. After saying goodbye, he drove away in a dashing manner.

After watching them leave, Taiyi turned his gaze to Jujiang, Dawei, Yanzi, Yue, Dafeng, and the others in front of him.

Ju Jiang, Da Kui, and Yan Zi have all cultivated their five internal organs to become gods, while Yue, Da Feng, and the other cultivation seeds selected back then have all achieved their own successes.

Even powerful figures like Yue and Dafeng are about to achieve perfect harmony of the five elements.

Those who were weaker had already begun cultivating the Five Elements.

Excellent, very excellent!

Taiyi nodded with a smile, then bowed to Juling: "Thanks to my elder brother's protection!"

Julingshi supported Taiyishi, laughing heartily, "No need for such formalities among family."

After saying that, he added with a hint of pride and a desire to claim credit, "Ju Jiang, Da Kui, and Yan Zi all have the foundation to become gods, but I have asked them to postpone their ascension to godhood until you return."

Ju Jiang quickly replied, "It is thanks to the guidance of the Divine Lord that I have achieved what I have today."

Dawei and the others nodded in agreement; this was not flattery, but the truth.

After they returned from spreading the teachings, the Giant Spirit would occasionally preach to them and answer their questions, and even demonstrate Taoist arts and supernatural powers, as if he had nothing better to do all day.

Zhu You and the others watched from the sidelines, exchanging somewhat bewildered glances; the atmosphere felt a little off.

A god-like being is so approachable, and often gives guidance to a group of pure-blooded humans who have not yet become gods.

They were greatly shocked, for they had never seen anything like it before.

Not to mention the Wu Chang clan, who were purely human, even the three demigods, Zhu You and his companions, could only rely on luck to hear a divine master preach and transmit the Dharma. They would only be able to attend a Dharma assembly held by a divine master and then flock there to listen to the lecture.

As for Wu Changshi, he was just an ordinary human a year ago.

It was Xin Yunzi who selected him and ordered a deity at the Divine Realm to teach him for a year, which is why he is where he is today.

Looking at Ju Jiang and the others, and even more humans on the mountainside and below, all of whom possessed cultivation, he was deeply shocked.

Is this a sacred place for humans?

There are so many practitioners.

……

After exchanging pleasantries, Taiyi introduced Zhu You and the other three, and then asked Yanzi to arrange a place for them to rest.

There was nothing he could do about it; his mountain god temple was simply too small.

Li Ling also took his leave and returned to Longyuan River.

After everyone dispersed, Taiyi and Juling went to the temple study together.

Taiyi recounted his experience on Mount Tai, while Juling listened and commented on it.

"A bunch of short-sighted, profit-driven idiots deserve to die!"

"The primordial primordial energy has actually led the divine master astray? The consequences are unpredictable!"

"However, by promoting the acquired path to godhood through cultivation, and refining innate ancestral energy into innate Dao talismans, we can minimize the risk of being coveted. Moreover, with His Majesty the Human Emperor on the throne, no one would dare to carry out large-scale blood sacrifices against the human race!"

"Lord Taishan is indeed a kind and benevolent elder, whom our people will revere for generations to come!"

……

After recounting his trip to Mount Tai, Taiyi asked, "Brother, how is your comprehension of the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman progressing?"

"We'll talk about this later."

Julingshi said, "Brother, your divine powers have made you a god, which can be said to have opened up a new lineage. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has been shaken. Therefore, all the major innate races have sent people to offer gifts and ask for the Dharma."

"It's just that there's not enough room in Xiaocang Mountain, so it stayed at Longmen Peak."

"This is one thing, but more importantly, the Earth Mother Goddess has sent an envoy."

Taiyi was speechless upon hearing this: "The Earth Mother Goddess has sent an envoy. If I do not go to pay him a visit immediately, I fear I will be impolite and may even cause my brother to offend someone."

As he spoke, he got up and walked out.

Giant Spirit stood up and laughed, "It's alright, we've already waited long enough, a little longer won't make a difference."

"Furthermore, there are some things I need to tell you, my dear brother."

As he spoke, his expression became solemn: "It is only right to teach those who seek the Dharma, but you must be extremely cautious when it comes to accepting disciples."

"Once you take on a disciple, your fate becomes intertwined with theirs, and the connection is immense."

Tai Yi nodded earnestly: "Thank you for reminding me, brother. I understand."

He then couldn't help but laugh, "The various innate races probably look down on my humble acquired race!"

"That's not necessarily true!"

Giant Spirit shook his head and said with certainty, "Those sent by various races are not pure-blooded, but demigods with our human bloodline."

"The dragon from the Dragon Clan is the Primordial Dragon God, Bai Longshi, the ancestor of the Li Ling Clan. He holds the most noble status and possesses the highest cultivation level. He is a God Emperor, and you should respectfully address him as Emperor!"

"The messenger of the Earth Mother Yuanjun is a primordial true god named Houtu. It is said that he has a close relationship with the Earth Mother Yuanjun. Although he only has the Dao Fruit of a True God, his cultivation is extremely high, far surpassing that of Zhu Xiangshi. He is probably at least at the level of a God King."

Upon hearing this, Tai Yi's eyelids twitched violently.

Hou Tu clan?

Houtu Niangniang?

One of the Ancestral Witches?

The one who controls reincarnation?

Tai Yi couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and doubt.

Has the Ancestral Witch been born so soon?

What about the deities like Zhen Yuanzi?

Are there other ancestral witches? Could they all be under the command of the Earth Mother Yuanjun now?

However, according to orthodox mythology, the Twelve Ancestral Witches do indeed belong to the category of water gods, fire gods, and weather gods.

Before long, the two arrived at Dragon Gate Peak and held a banquet in the main hall to entertain the envoys of the Earth Mother Yuanjun, as well as the envoys of various innate races such as the White Dragon Clan.

At the introduction of Juling, Taiyi paid his respects to each of them.

There was no way around it; the messengers who came were all extraordinary.

Bai Longshi, the innate dragon god, the ancestor of Li Lingshi, and the father of Huang Shenshi, was a god emperor, on the same level as the five ancestors of the five-colored human race.

This person had the face of a dragon but the body of a human, dressed in a white robe. His divine might was not revealed. He greatly admired the Taiyi clan and spoke very directly, laughing and saying, "Young friend, your talent is extraordinary. You are truly the best among the acquired races I have ever seen. It would be a waste to leave such talent here. Why not go to the Heavenly Realm, where you will surely be able to put your talents to good use?"

Giant Spirit was furious, but dared not utter a word, only cursing inwardly, "That White Dragon Clan! They actually tried to trick my worthy brother into going to the Dragon Clan! They're truly inhuman!"

Clan Taiyi was caught off guard and was about to politely decline when the Earth Mother Yuanjun's envoy, Houtu, dressed in a yellow robe, with a heroic air about her and a magnanimous and composed demeanor, spoke first with a smile: "Your Majesty is mistaken. How can Fellow Daoist Taiyi's talent be used only in the heavens?"

"Absolutely!"

"Absolutely!"

"Young friend Taiyi is more suited to the Western Heaven!"

"No, the south is home to many human tribes. Young friend Taiyi, why don't you go south to spread the Dharma? Our Phoenix Clan will definitely do our best to help you."

"Young friend Taiyi, your Dharma benefits all living beings; how can you remain confined to a corner? In my opinion, you should join our Qilin clan..."

The envoys from the Phoenix, Qilin, White Tiger, and other clans also spoke up.

Just kidding, we came here to seek the Dharma and maybe even become disciples. You've gone too far by taking everything from us. Even an emperor wouldn't do that.
