The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 79 Establishing a Separate Clan? Goodbye Houtu! (Second Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)

Miro Palace, Tongming Hall.

The Emperor looked towards the desolate mountains and a smile appeared on his face.

The curses of Qiongqi, which were being hurled at the Sea of ​​Innate Evil Qi, suddenly ceased, and its expression froze.

He discovered that while the security measures here were more comprehensive, there still seemed to be a small loophole.

"You bastard... you're using me as a pawn again!"

Qiongqi was furious, but also relieved.

Fortunately, I didn't really intend to cooperate with that shadowy figure, otherwise I was afraid that the Nine-Headed Clan would have dealt with me as well.

It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, not to mention that he has now seen some hope.

"Hey, it's not certain who's outsmarting whom!"

Qiongqi sneered inwardly, then looked at Taiyi who was approaching. He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a stream of malevolent energy that flew out through the gap in the seal.

Chess pieces it is, might as well go out and get some fresh air.

……

In the desolate mountains, Zhu Yan suddenly stopped and prostrated himself, saying, "Zhu Yan pays respects to Your Majesty!"

On Zhu Yan's shoulder, Tai Yi looked ahead and saw a small tiger with wings and spiky fur standing in the void, its eyes scrutinizing him.

The ferocious beast king Qiongqi?

So cute!

The thought flashed through his mind, and Taiyi immediately bowed respectfully: "Taiyi greets Senior!"

Qiongqi didn't speak, but instead circled around Taiyi Shi and looked him over before saying, "You do have some courage."

Tai Yi laughed and said, "If you want to take my life, you can simply send your troops south. There's no need for such politeness."

Qiongqi was pleased to hear this and nodded, saying, "It's good that you know. I invited you here today to make a deal with you."

Throughout the journey, Taiyi had been pondering Qiongqi's purpose. Now, facing Qiongqi, his mind was clear, and he respectfully asked, "Senior, please speak. If it is something this junior can do, I will certainly not refuse!"

"very good!"

Qiongqi was increasingly satisfied. This human was quite sensible, so he said, "You are naturally capable of doing this. In all the heavens and realms of the Three Realms, only you can do it."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi immediately understood; it was indeed related to his previous research on the ferocious beasts with Houtu.

Or rather, the root cause is his Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman!

However, he pretended not to know and said sincerely, "Please speak, senior!"

Qiongqi said, "You have captured many ferocious beasts in the mountains and tamed them as mounts. Your human race is not afraid of the corruption of the evil energy. Therefore, I want you to awaken the intelligence of the ferocious beasts!"

Tai Yi feigned surprise upon hearing this, then smiled wryly: "Senior, you really overestimate me."

Qiongqi scoffed, "I don't think highly of anyone!"

"I saw it all clearly: you captured the ferocious beasts, dissected them, separated their spirits from their bodies, and awakened their intelligence."

"I can clearly see that your supernatural powers can also refine all kinds of evil energy."

Tai Yi's eyes twitched when he heard this.

unacceptable!

Is it really that great just because you have high cultivation level?

Does that give you the right to snoop on other people's privacy?

Unfortunately, Taiyi dared not speak out against his anger.

And it's likely that among all the beings in the Three Realms, Qiongqi is not the only one who can freely look through his past and future.

Therefore, sometimes what we think are secrets are not secrets at all.

With his mind racing, Taiyi explained to Qiongqi, "Since you have seen it, you must also know that although I can awaken your intelligence, those ferocious beasts will also be under my control."

"Or rather, without my divine power, their separated primordial spirits would inevitably reunite with their physical bodies."

"Unless they can master my powers themselves."

Having said that, he looked at Qiongqi with utmost sincerity and said, "Senior, how about I teach you the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman, this divine power?"

Qiongqi couldn't help but bare its teeth and glare upon hearing this.

If I could achieve enlightenment, would I need you?

When he secretly observed Taiyi's past, how could he not have tried to comprehend the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman, but he was completely unable to comprehend its cultivation.

With a light snort, Qiongqi said, "Didn't you create talismans?"

"Then let's refine talismans; that way we won't be controlled by others."

"Aren't those of your human race who are unable to cultivate the Giant Spirit True Talisman also using this talisman to protect themselves from the evil energy and to ride ferocious beasts?"

Taiyi nodded in agreement: "This method is indeed feasible."

"But... does senior know my current level of cultivation?"

Qiongqi glanced at him and said, "A little true god!"

"Indeed!"

Taiyi nodded and said seriously, "With my mere True God level, even a God Lord could crush me with a single finger."

Therefore, the method mentioned by the senior is not foolproof.

Qiongqi scoffed, "With the protection of the Nine-Headed Clan, how could you be crushed by a mere god?"

Taiyi glanced at Qiongqi with surprise.

Qiongqi realized he had gone too far and quickly said, "You're right under my nose, who would dare kill you?"

Tai Yi bowed deeply, saying, "This junior thanks you for your protection, senior."

"only……"

Qiongqi frowned: "Just what?"

Taiyi lowered his voice and asked, "Senior, what era are we in now?"

"Isn't this what you call the era of the Human Emperor?"

Qiongqi, bewildered, asked, "So what?"

"I have no fear of that Nine-Headed Clan bastard!"

Anyway, this kid has no idea that he's being suppressed.

Taiyi nodded and said, "What you say is true, senior. We are now in the era of the Human Emperor, a more glorious era of the divine path than the eras of the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor."

"Although I was born late, I have heard of the great calamity of ferocious beasts in the ancient times."

"In this era, neither the Divine Court nor the various primordial races would likely allow the rise of the ferocious beast lineage!"

Qiongqi remained silent after hearing this.

How could He not know this?

Otherwise, they wouldn't have "invited" Tai Yi over, nor would they have pretended to be friendly with that dark figure!

Taiyi continued, "I know that your supernatural powers are astonishing, no less than those of the Human Emperor."

"But can you, senior, withstand the entire Shinto era?"

"Can you protect your juniors from the attacks of the entire Shinto era?"

Qiongqi wanted to say something harsh, but in the end he didn't.

This kid in front of me isn't someone to be easily fooled.

Besides the high and mighty Nine-Headed Clan behind him, there were also several God Emperors, who might not be unable to find out about His situation.

"However, this young man not only understands the times, but he is also a clever man. Let's test him further first..."

Thinking this, Qiongqi's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "So, you're no longer of any use to me?"

Tai Yi froze, feeling as if his thoughts were about to be frozen: "Naturally...no...it's not."

"Please listen to... listen to what this junior has to say."

Qiongqi, taking advantage of the situation, withdrew its fierce aura: "Tell me, if you do not speak well, I will immediately lead my troops south to flatten Longmen."

However, he was also quite surprised. This kid could still speak under his fierce power. He was indeed worthy of being valued by that scoundrel Jiu Tou. His will and Dao heart were truly extraordinary.

After recovering, Taiyi said sincerely, "Senior, please forgive my bluntness, but given the current situation, the ferocious beasts may not disappear completely, but the lineage of ferocious beasts will inevitably be wiped out."

Evil energy is also a kind of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it cannot be completely eliminated, so ferocious beasts cannot disappear either.

However, the concept of the race of ferocious beasts will disappear.

This is the general trend!

The divine way is now flourishing, and the divine way means order, while ferocious beasts mean chaos, wildness, and bestiality. The two are in conflict, and even irreconcilable.

Now that the divine path is in control, it is only natural that the lineage of ferocious beasts will be destroyed.

This was established as early as the era of the Emperor, or rather, from the outcome of the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts.

Now, the ferocious beast is powerless to reverse the situation.

Qiongqi was certainly aware of this, otherwise he wouldn't have "invited" Taiyi.

Having previously observed that Taiyi had been stopped by Jiutou, He understood that Jiutou was watching his every move.

The fact that the dark figure came looking for Him today is probably known to the Nine-Headed Clan, or perhaps it was that clan that deliberately used Him as a pawn to lure the enemy into a trap!

But since it's used as a chess piece, it still has some use.

If the Nine-Headed Clan were to transform into a Daoist being, it would be an opportunity for Him to escape from this predicament. Therefore, He responded to the shadowy figure and took the opportunity to make a profit.

The Nine-Headed Clan must know this kid's situation better than He does, yet they still keep him under His nose; it's probably another scheme.

But so what?

Even a small scheme can be a lifeline, and we must delve into it.

Thinking it over, Qiongqi coldly replied, "I naturally understand these things; otherwise, why would I have invited you here?"

Tai Yi quickly replied, "Thank you for your trust and high regard, senior."

"In my humble opinion, the only chance for the ferocious beast lineage to survive is to completely shed its identity as a ferocious beast!"

Qiongqi frowned: "What does this mean?"

Zhu Yan scratched his head, completely unable to understand.

A ferocious beast is a ferocious beast; how can you get rid of it?

Taiyi patiently explained: "What I mean is not only to awaken my intelligence, but also to stop walking the world as a ferocious beast and establish a new identity to integrate into the divine path."

Qiongqi was greatly shocked upon hearing this, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He quickly asked, "How do I establish another identity?"

"What identity should one assume to integrate into Shinto?"

Can I say I haven't decided yet?

Taiyi's mind raced, and he said, "Just like the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, and other innate races!"

"Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin... Hahaha, not bad, not bad!"

Qiongqi laughed loudly and said, "These fellows are indeed no more noble than us ferocious beasts."

"If we're talking about lineage, I'm no less than that scoundrel from the First Emperor!"

Of the many innate races in the Three Realms, take the dragon race for example; not all dragons are innate.

Conversely, the vast majority of dragons are actually a minority from birth.

They are called a natural race because they originated from the innate.

For example, Zulong, Yinglong, Qinglong, Yanlong, and Leize were all innate deities and innate dragon gods.

They are not related by blood.

For example, Yinglong was born from the earth's dragon veins.

Lei Ze was born in Lei Ze and is the Dragon God of Lei Ze.

Besides these innate deities, the dragon race also has many innate dragon gods at the level of innate gods and demons.

For example, the White Dragon Clan that Taiyi saw was a manifestation of innate water veins.

All of these are different.

The original dragon race was formed when the primordial dragon gods, such as the Ancestral Dragon, gathered together and became one race.

The same applies to clans such as the Qilin, Phoenix, Celestial Lion, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"That's brilliant!"

Qiongqi was overjoyed, but then he couldn't help but become suspicious again.

Is this kid too easy to talk to?

Could it be that the Nine-Headed Clan sent them on purpose?

"Why is Mr. Tai so dedicated?"

Qiongqi's gaze is dangerous.

Taiyi was stunned when he heard this.

You've already captured me, how dare you not do your best?

We are like fish on a chopping board, at their mercy!

However, that's not the right way to put it.

Taiyi quickly smiled and said, "Since you invited me, senior, please don't blame me for taking that spiritual root. How could I not tell you the truth?"

"Besides, since you, senior, wish to use my supernatural abilities, then it will be mutually beneficial!"

Qiongqi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, cooperation is mutually beneficial. If you help me accomplish this, I will give you a primordial spiritual treasure and a postnatal spiritual treasure."

Tai Yi was shocked; he hadn't expected to receive any benefits.

With just one move, he produced a Primordial Spiritual Treasure and a Acquired Spiritual Treasure. He truly deserves to be an ancient being who has lived since the beginning of time!

Taiyi quickly weighed the pros and cons, then said with gratitude, "Thank you, senior. I will do my best."

"only……"

Qiongqi was in a good mood and said, "Speak your mind, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Taiyi then said, "The key to the ferocious beast's needing to change its identity and integrate into the divine path is to awaken its intelligence and forge its own path."

Qiongqi nodded: "That's true, but isn't our lineage perfectly suited to your path of becoming a god through physical means?"

Taiyi nodded and said, "Indeed, they match. Moreover, the great Dao, primordial spirit, physical body, supernatural powers, and magical power of the ferocious beast are integrated, which is actually superior to the physical body I have created to become a god."

"It's just a pity that my cultivation is still shallow. Although I have made good progress in the physical body and primordial spirit, and can separate the primordial spirit of ferocious beasts and awaken their intelligence, as you know, there are still many imperfections."

"If I had the same level of cultivation and attainment as you, senior, I might be able to fully achieve what you desire."

Qiongqi nodded subconsciously.

That's not far off.

However, He did not have the ability to make Taiyi Shi do what He did in a short period of time.

Not even He, no one could do that.

How can this be good?

I'm afraid my time is running out. Am I just going to watch this opportunity slip away?

That scoundrel from the Nine-Headed Clan, since he values ​​this child so much, why doesn't he personally teach him?

For a moment, Qiongqi couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

What Taiyi said gave Him greater hope, but now that hope is diminishing, how can He tolerate it?

Seeing Qiongqi's constantly changing expression and its obviously growing agitation, Taiyi was terrified and hurriedly said, "Senior, if you can allow me to continue my research on ferocious beasts, perhaps my supernatural powers can be continuously improved."

"Ideally, it should be a naturally ferocious beast, a ferocious beast that has awakened its intelligence."

Ok?

Qiongqi looked at Taiyi and said, "Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who can awaken their spiritual intelligence. Even if you gave all the people in this mountain who have awakened their spiritual intelligence, it probably wouldn't be enough."

Taiyi felt embarrassed upon hearing this and quickly said, "Senior, it was because my skills were not good enough before."

"Moreover, I think this Brother Zhu Yan is very suitable."

Squeak!

Zhu Yan, who had been listening in a daze, suddenly bristled and glared fiercely at Tai Yi Shi on her shoulder.

Taiyi ignored Zhu Yan and said to Qiongqi, "I previously observed that Brother Zhu Yan is skilled in the supernatural power of having three heads and six arms, and his method of physical regeneration is also astonishing. He is definitely an excellent subject for research."

"Moreover, the immortality I created can also be passed on to Him, and He will absolutely not perish."

Qiongqi nodded and decisively said, "Zhu Yan, you may go with him."

Zhu Yan froze, then looked at Qiongqi with teary eyes, but dared not utter a sound.

Taiyi was overjoyed.

Although the Zhu Yan is not a naturally ferocious beast, it has developed intelligence and is very worthy of study, making it an excellent experimental subject.

At this moment, Qiongqi felt it wasn't enough.

He didn't have that much time to wait for Taiyi to grow little by little.

"If he can gain something from Zhu Yan, he should give him some incentive first."

"If it really works..."

Qiongqi couldn't help but think of the skin of chaos.

He had initially only wanted to make a quick buck, but now it seems to have been just the right move.

"However, it might be difficult to fool that shadowy figure."

Qiongqi pondered inwardly, but said aloud, "Taiyi, you should go back now. If you achieve anything, I will immediately give you an acquired spiritual treasure."

"If you dare to deceive me, you will die."

Taiyi quickly replied, "How dare I, a junior?"

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Senior, I had previously intended to locate my dojo in the wasteland. Now I've decided to do so, to be your neighbor. I hope you will take good care of it."

Qiongqi was even more satisfied upon hearing this, and immediately transformed into a baleful aura that merged into the world.

Taiyi let out a long sigh and said to Zhu Yan with a smile, "Brother Zhu Yan, let's go!"

Zhu Yan bared his teeth, his eyes gleaming with ferocity. He desperately wanted to kill the guy in front of him, but he didn't dare to make a move. He could only look back every few steps as he left the desolate mountains and entered the wilderness.

Upon seeing Zhu Yan, Taiyi immediately transferred him to his Five Treasures Cave Heaven, but did not study him immediately.

His spirit left his body to find the Giant Spirit Clan, and then he offered sacrifices to the Five Dragon Clan, inquiring about the Qiongqi.

Wu Longshi was not surprised.

The Imperial Uncle said, "Qiongqi must be looking for you because of your supernatural powers, and you are just playing along with him."

"This wicked beast is now suppressed deep in the mountains, all bark and no bite, and can no longer run rampant."

Taiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Ancestor, Taiyi understands!"

Despite the disruption of the sacrificial communication, the Giant Spirit was somewhat worried: "The Qiongqi being suppressed is indeed nothing to worry about, but the wild mountains are teeming with ferocious beasts, so we must be careful."

"If we anger Qiongqi, a ferocious beast tide will inevitably erupt."

Taiyi nodded in agreement: "There is indeed such a danger, but since the Ancestor said so, the Human Emperor may already know about this matter."

"Moreover, I don't think that Qiongqi is difficult to deal with."

"This matter is mutually beneficial, and it is also a good opportunity to develop the wasteland."

Taiyi's gaze was deep and unfathomable, yet a thought still lingered in his mind.

If we can implement the ideas he used to deceive Qiongqi, then the human race may gain another powerful ally.

But it's too early to talk about that now.

He is now nothing more than a true god.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Taiyi felt a premonition and immediately emerged from his underground cave in the wilderness.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Houtu, how have you been!"

Seeing the approaching vehicle, Tai Yi couldn't help but burst into joyful laughter.

Help has arrived!

The chariot stopped nearby, and Houtu and Yidi stepped out together.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Taiyi!"

Hou Tu smiled sweetly.

Thank you!

Taiyi smiled, and then thanked Yidi.

Yi Di nodded slightly, then said, "This matter is settled. I will now go to Longmen Peak."

After saying this, she bowed to Houtu and then disappeared without a trace.

Taiyi was already used to Yidi's decisive actions and didn't mind. He quickly pulled Houtu into his cave and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, I have a big surprise for you!"

I'll try to write another chapter after dinner, it might be a bit late!!!
