The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 47 The Five Treasures Divine Lord Taiyi, Who Responds to Heaven and Earth (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes for further reading)

Inside the hall, the Giant Spirit Clan, the host of this event, was dumbfounded.

What happened to our agreement to seek the Dharma?

unacceptable!

Isn't this bullying?!

Just because you have high cultivation level and Taoist power doesn't mean you're great!

Tai Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With several companies vying for his services, his polite refusal would save face for everyone.

He then noticed that Houtu, who had only said one sentence, was watching the several families fight with a faint smile in his eyes.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Houtu looked over, and the two exchanged a smile.

"Gentlemen!"

Houtu spoke again, silencing the entire hall.

"The Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign has already been granted an imperial title by Daoist Taiyi."

Hou Tu made the final decision.

Bai Longshi and the others felt a little regretful, but they remained silent.

Let alone them, even if the Ancestral Dragon, Ancestral Qilin, and Phoenix Ancestor came, they still wouldn't be able to compete with the Earth Mother Yuanjun.

Below the Human Emperor, none is more revered than the Earth Mother Yuanjun!

Not to mention that the Earth Mother Yuanjun was the direct superior of the Taiyi clan, which was perfectly legitimate and irrefutable.

However, Taiyi became uneasy.

With his limited cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to find a suitable position working under the Earth Mother Yuanjun.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Houtu.

Houtu, however, suppressed her smile, took out a golden book, and solemnly said: "By the Heavenly Emperor, the Earth Mother Yuanjun decrees: Taiyi Shi opened the path to becoming a god after birth, established the gate to supernatural powers, and created paper, ink, brush, and inkstone to spread the Way. His merits are known throughout Heaven and Earth, and his blessings extend to all living beings. He is hereby conferred the title of Taiyi Dharma Master, the Five Treasures Divine Lord who Responds to Heaven and Earth. All sentient beings in the Three Realms shall hear this. All those who cultivate the Dharma and Way of the Divine Lord shall recite the name of the Dharma Master; all sentient beings who wish to cultivate the Dharma and Way of the Divine Lord shall recite the name of the Dharma Master..."

As soon as Houtu finished speaking, the golden book in her hand shone brightly and transformed into a five-colored halo.

Looking into the light, Taiyi saw a vast world hidden within the halo.

Immediately, the light wheel transformed into a stream of light and entered his brow, hovering behind his primordial spirit.

In an instant, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth trembled slightly. Houtu's words, along with the tremor of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, spread throughout the Three Realms and entered the ears of all sentient beings. No one was unaware of them.

Giant Spirit was overjoyed upon seeing this.

The gods of the Longmen Mountains were all shocked upon hearing the Daoist voice, and then felt a sense of envy.

The position of God-King is a one-step ascension to the heavens!

From that moment on, that tiny human race completely surpassed them.

The imperial decree has been issued.

Inside the hall, Bai Longshi and the others offered their congratulations and then took out the gifts they had prepared.

The Dragon Clan's gift includes a seedling of the Longan Tree (a type of tree with acquired spiritual roots), a pot of sea pearls, a bottle of ink, and a mountain of cold iron.

The Qilin Clan's congratulatory gifts included one Crimson Blood Fruit (a primordial spiritual fruit), one piece of Five-Colored Gold (a primordial material), and one mountain of Black Jade.

The Phoenix Clan's gift includes a seed of immortal fire, a piece of innate phoenix blood bronze, and a hundred bird tail feathers.

……

The gifts were most generous, especially those from the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans.

Tai Yi didn't stand on ceremony, thanked them, and accepted the gifts one by one.

This should be considered tuition.

After receiving the various gifts, the host and guests took their seats. Looking at the many demigods standing behind the numerous envoys, Taiyi went straight to the point and began to explain the six realms of the acquired godhood cultivation system, as well as the methods of becoming a god through supernatural powers.

There are still differences between the two.

In other words, one can become a god through the cultivation system of innate deities, but it is not necessary to become a god through supernatural powers.

However, Taiyi had always been consistent in this regard.

But indeed, becoming a god through supernatural powers is most in line with this system.

This time, Taiyi explained the Dharma in great detail, even revealing many of the mysteries of the human body. Even Bailong and the others were captivated by what they heard.

This content was somewhat enlightening for them as well.

They had never noticed many subtle details before.

In the blink of an eye, the night had passed.

After Taiyi finished speaking, he answered the questions from everyone in the hall one by one, and then concluded the transmission of the Dharma.

The two demigods brought by the White Dragon Clan acted swiftly, immediately walking to the center of the hall and bowing to Taiyi Clan: "Ao Qing (Ao Xi), I humbly request the Divine Lord to accept me as your disciple!"

The other demigods who came from various families immediately became anxious and jumped out, kneeling down in unison and begging Taiyi to accept them as disciples.

Bai Longshi and the others simply looked at Taiyishi with smiles, while pretending to scold Ao Qing and the others for being impolite, but they did nothing else.

This acting is terrible!

But Taiyi could not refuse so easily.

These innate races may value him so highly because of their acquired cultivation system for becoming gods and their methods for achieving godhood through supernatural powers. They may think he is a talented person with great fortune, but there are countless people in the world who are exceptionally talented.

Perhaps it was because he was valued by the Emperor, out of respect for the Emperor.

Or perhaps, those powerful deities, observing the past and future, saw something, and maybe they were making moves on a chessboard.

Therefore, looking at the people below, under the slightly nervous gaze of the Giant Spirit Clan, Taiyi Clan suddenly flicked his finger, divine light shooting out, then splitting and entering the brows of Ao Qing and the other demigods. He smiled gently and said, "This is a divine power that I accidentally comprehended. If you can master it within a year, you will be destined to be with me!"

Ao Qing and the others all showed joy: "We will certainly not disappoint the Divine Lord!"

Julingshi knew what question Taiyishi had asked, but he immediately felt relieved.

If any of these people have high enough comprehension, then it wouldn't be a loss to take them as disciples.

Bai Longshi and the others also smiled.

With Taiyi's current cultivation level, this supernatural power is at most at the level of a true god. No matter how profound it is, it shouldn't be impossible to master it in a year.

In this way, everyone is happy!

After arranging resting places for Bailongshi, Houtushi, and the others, Julingshi finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the rear hall with Taiyishi, laughing, "My worthy brother is about to surpass me now, hahaha!"

Taiyi chuckled and shook his head: "A divine position is not attained through one's own power."

He, the Five Treasures Divine Lord Taiyi, is a fifth-rank official. He possesses a blessed land within his domain and can wield the great power of a divine lord, without any geographical restrictions.

Giant Spirit scoffed, laughing, "Does my worthy brother fear being dismissed?"

Given Taiyi's current merits, as long as he doesn't raise the flag of rebellion, there will be no problem.

"Brother, how is your comprehension of the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman coming along?"

Taiyi set aside his idle chatter and asked.

"Although some gains have been made, true mastery has not yet been achieved."

The Giant Spirit said with a focused mind, "The wonders of Xuanhuang are truly unattainable. Even the five patriarchs could not fully comprehend them."

As he spoke, a talisman shot out from between his eyebrows and hovered in front of Taiyi.

"This talisman was obtained by comprehending the Mysterious Yellow Qi Talisman, and I call it the Giant Spirit True Talisman."

As he spoke, Juling smiled, "Although this talisman is not as profound as your Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman, it is still unique. It can refine the turbid Qi of the earth to strengthen the physical body and the pure Qi of the nine heavens to strengthen the primordial spirit. With this talisman, they can be regulated and will not interfere with each other!"

Taiyi Shi looked at the divine talisman that was flashing with mysterious light and became interested.

It's not that the Giant Spirit True Talisman can refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but rather that it can refine the turbid energy of the earth to strengthen the physical body.

The spiritual energy in this world, whether innate or acquired, can be divided into two categories: pure and turbid.

The term "pure" refers to the pure energy of the nine heavens, such as the Taiyin and Taiyang, Shaoyin and Shaoyang, pure Yang and pure Yin, etc.

The turbid part is the spiritual energy of the five elements.

Turbid air is not the same as malevolent air.

The so-called "earthly evil qi" actually refers to various kinds of evil qi, such as the five elements' evil qi.

For example, the evil energy of water and the evil energy of metal.

Even the purest heavenly energy can transform into malevolent energy.

Such as Taiyin Xuan Sha, Taiyang Huo Sha, etc.

The most famous and terrifying thing in the world is the Primordial Evil Qi formed at the beginning of creation, which is also one of the innate evil energies.

In addition, there is the blood evil generated from qi and blood.

But no matter what kind of evil energy it is, it will pollute the mind and erode the spirit.

Therefore, although evil energy has many wonderful uses, it is only used for refining Taoist arts and supernatural powers, and for crafting weapons. No one uses it to cultivate the physical body, increase magical power, or strengthen the primordial spirit.

The Divine Court bestowed titles upon the gods, granting them authority over the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and maintaining its operation. One of their functions was to suppress the growth of malevolent energy to prevent it from causing chaos in the Three Realms and the heavens.

According to Taiyi, the root of the first calamity after the creation of the world, the great calamity of ferocious beasts, was the various evil energies that arose after the creation of the world.

Rather than saying that the innate deities such as the Emperor and Hongjun were dealing with ferocious beasts, it would be more accurate to say that they were pacifying the various evil energies that filled the heavens and earth.
