The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 85 Dragon Boat Race, Opening a New Path! (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Giant Spirit went off to create a method of physical cultivation.

Taiyi then led Houtu and Yidi into his Five Treasures Grotto to continue their research on Zhu Yan.

Although the existence of the Seven Souls was discovered previously, which could perfect the subsequent cultivation path of becoming a god through physical body, the reason why Zhu Yan's intelligence still exists has not yet been found.

Taiyishi is a very reputable company.

Since we have made a promise to Qiongqi, we must do our utmost.

"However, this discovery of the Seven Souls is quite fruitful. Perhaps we can ask Qiongqi for more next time?"

"At least one innate ferocious beast should be brought out..."

Taiyi is very much looking forward to it.

Then, after bringing Yi Di Shi into the sect, he left his body and traveled from the wilderness to Feng Bai at Dragon Horn Mountain.

"Introduce me to Fellow Daoist Longya?"

Feng Bai looked at Tai Yi with a strange expression.

Taiyi didn't need to hide anything and laughed, "I wish to comprehend the Great Dao of the Netherworld, and I also want to travel into the Netherworld. It would be even better if someone familiar with the geography could lead the way."

Feng Bai understood and nodded, allowing Tai Yi to enter his body.

The two spirits traveled all the way to the dantian and stood on the wheel of destiny, with the netherworld beneath their feet.

Feng Bai called out, "Fellow Daoist Longya, please come out for a chat!"

After being called three times, Longya finally appeared, cursing, "You scoundrel, are you asking for a beating?"

He burrowed into Feng Bai's lower dantian from the Netherworld, but upon seeing Tai Yi, he quickly withdrew his head.

Taiyi quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Longya, please wait. We have no ill intentions. We have come here to ask you for a favor."

After a while, the dragon head of Longya emerged from under the Wheel of Fate again, looked at the two, and asked, "What is it?"

"My friends and I wish to travel into the Netherworld, so we would like to ask to pass through your territory."

Taiyi laughed and said, "If you could show us the wonders of the Netherworld, that would be even better."

Before Longya could refuse, he flipped his hand and revealed an object—a jade cup.

Longya was about to refuse, but before he could say anything, he was drawn to the jade cup.

No, the contents of the cup.

He couldn't help but sniff it and exclaimed, "Such pure Yang energy!"

Taiyi smiled and said, "This tea is brewed by me using innate true yang divine water. If you have time, fellow Daoist, please come and sit down and have a cup, how about it?"

Longya hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the Netherworld completely.

Feng Bai was speechless.

In the past, he and Longya were always fighting or arguing, but he never expected that Longya would be bought off with just a cup of tea.

However, this innate true yang divine water is indeed a good thing, and He cannot take it out.

"What a blatant betrayal of morality for personal gain!"

Feng Bai cursed under his breath, then also drank a cup of tea, secretly praising, "Good tea!"

Tea cleanses the mind and body, and can even bring about a sense of enlightenment.

Longya took a sip of tea and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

But unlike Feng Bai, what He values ​​is the innate true yang power contained in the innate true yang divine water.

This force, in fact, would not harm him; on the contrary, it would help him comprehend the principles of Yin and Yang.

That's why he stayed.

Taiyi's approach was spot on, and he immediately seized upon Longya's weakness.

This is also a matter of human relationships and social customs.

While Longya was enjoying himself, Taiyi took the lead and asked Longya for guidance on the Great Dao of the Netherworld.

Longya opened his eyes a crack and answered casually.

But gradually he became serious, and suddenly said, "You're better than this guy!"

Feng Bai was furious, his dough twitched, but he was powerless to refute.

But deep down, I also felt wronged.

If the source had not been damaged, how could this have happened?

Soon, the pot of tea was empty.

Taiyi then took out a gourd and handed it to Longya, saying, "This is a gourd of innate true yang divine water that I have condensed. Please accept it, Brother Longya."

Longya put down his teacup, his expression turning serious. He took the gourd and said, "Entering the Netherworld is possible, but you cannot enter with your physical body."

"Firstly, your cultivation level is insufficient, and your physical body is easily corrupted by the Netherworld. Although your mastery of the Netherworld Dao is not shallow, it is still not enough to contend with the Netherworld. Secondly, you are prone to attracting all kinds of evil spirits."

"Furthermore, when I take you on a tour of the Netherworld, you must listen to me. The Netherworld is full of dangers. If you are not careful, not only will we insignificant true gods die, but even god-kings and god-rulers will die without knowing why."

Taiyi was shocked: "The Netherworld is actually that dangerous?"

Longya nodded and said, "That's natural."

"The underworld is teeming with fierce gods and demons who defy the authority of various ghost emperors and kings. When they become ferocious, they dare to kill and devour even the ghost kings and emperors!"

"Moreover, many of these corpse demons are formed from the corpses of extremely powerful innate gods and demons, or even innate saints, from past eras. They don't even put the Earth Mother Goddess in her eyes!"

Taiyi was speechless upon hearing this, and then became more serious.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist!"

Tai Yi thanked him sincerely before taking his leave.

Deep in the wild mountains.

Beyond the realm of innate malevolent energy, in a dark corner, darkness twisted: "As expected, I've been discovered... but it won't stop me."

The darkness quickly dissipated.

Not long after, a Zhu Yan that was cultivating nearby suddenly opened its eyes.

Because He discovered that He had acquired a spiritual treasure in His Purple Mansion, as well as a shadow.

"Who is it?"

Zhu Yan roared angrily.

The shadow chuckled, "Take this treasure to Qiongqi!"

Having said that, the shadow disappeared.

Zhu Yan was shocked and furious. He searched carefully but found no trace of the other party. He immediately realized that this person was far superior to him and hurriedly got up to go to the Sea of ​​Innate Evil Qi.

Upon receiving the report, Qiongqi couldn't help but laugh, "They've acted quickly."

Immediately, He sent out a burst of malevolent energy that enveloped the magical treasure in Zhu Yan's hand.

Then he said to Zhu Yan, "Zhu Dang, when that human from the Taiyi clan arrives, give him this treasure and remind him that someone is using it to take his life!"

Zhu Dang asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't that be playing a trick on the master of this spiritual treasure?"

"This person appeared silently in my palace; he is far from ordinary, and I fear he may be a threat to Your Majesty!"

Qiongqi scoffed, "Zhu Dang, you're too stupid!"

"As I stated before, this magical treasure must have been forged by him personally."

"Now I will send this magical treasure to the Taiyi clan. If I fail to kill the Taiyi clan, then don't blame me."

Zhu Dang was stunned: "What if the Taiyi clan is killed..."

Qiongqi was so angry he almost jumped up and down: "If Taiyi is killed like this, then what kind of human emperor is that Jiutou clan bastard?"

"Besides, do you think the Taiyi family would be as stupid as you?"

"Now that we've reminded him, he'll naturally be on guard!"

"Get lost! You should go and learn a thing or two from that bastard Tai Yi!"

Zhu Dang fled as if he were running away.

Within the sea of ​​innate malevolent energy, Qiongqi couldn't help but sigh and lament inwardly.

How can we expect to win when we're stuck with such a bunch of brainless idiots?

However, helping the ferocious beasts is helping yourself!

……

Wilderness, Wuzang Peak.

While the Taiyi, Houtu, and Yidi clans were still tirelessly pursuing the Great Dao, the human race, after unifying and suppressing other acquired races in Longmen, experienced rapid development.

The land is rich in resources and resistant to both cold and heat. In addition to the Five Dragon Divine Mantra that can protect the body, there are also various other talismans.

Within the Longmen Mountains, apart from demigods and gods, the human race can be said to have already stood at the top of the food chain.

As Taiyi's understanding of the medicinal properties of various spiritual herbs deepened, the cultivation of these herbs began to appear on a large scale, providing the human race with more resources for cultivation.

This has led more and more humans to embark on the path of cultivation.

Although only a minority can cultivate themselves into gods, things are vastly different from the past.

In the past, demigods were objects of reverence.

Nowadays, as long as you work hard, even if you are less talented, you can still achieve a physique that is no less than that of the demigods of the past.

but.

The more prosperous the human race became, the more distressed the demigods and gods became.

This is because, although the quality of sacrificial power has improved compared to the past, the quantity has greatly decreased.

Especially after the rumors spread from the human race that the power of sacrifice could be used to refine divine artifacts and directly improve one's cultivation, the gods and demigods were itching with desire and secretly resentful.

However, they dared not do anything.

Firstly, the Taiyi clan had already led the human race to suppress them completely. Secondly, as the Huangshen clan's Tianheng Mountain Range also cleaned up the evil sacrifices and rituals, a storm also swept through Mount Tai.

After Mount Tai was completed, the Earth Mother Goddess and the Human Emperor issued a decree to the world, officially banning licentious and evil sacrifices.

A large number of powerful deities from Zhou Mountain and the Divine Court descended to all sides to supervise and prohibit licentious and evil sacrifices, causing panic and fear throughout the Three Realms.

It is unknown how many demigods, or even gods, secretly resented Taiyi.

After entrusting human affairs to Yanzi and the others, Taiyi rarely inquired about them anymore, immersing himself in cultivation and research.

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

I don't know when it started, or where it started.

Within the Longmen Mountains, stories gradually began to circulate about the Dragon Abyss River God rescuing drowning humans and even other acquired races.

The demigods and gods initially dismissed the news, and some even scoffed and mocked it.

Inside the Dragon Gate, the dragon gods had long been in cahoots with the Taiyi clan, so they were not surprised.

However, it's one thing to curry favor with Taiyi.

Now, he tries to please a group of ordinary people, which naturally makes them laugh at him.

He is exactly the same as Li Lingshi, the river god of Longyuan River back then, who willingly degenerated!

however.

The deeds of the Dragon Abyss River God spread wider and wider, and within a few years, they became known to the human race and many other acquired races in the Dragon Gate Mountains.

The number of humans and other races who spontaneously worship the Dragon Abyss River God is increasing, which inevitably makes the gods and many demigods envious, yet also jealous.

however.

On this day, Taiyi, who had not appeared in the Longmen Mountains for a hundred years, suddenly appeared, summoned the leaders of many human tribes and acquired race tribes, and made a decision that won the approval of everyone.

To express gratitude to the God of Longyuan River, the 123rd day of each year is designated as the Dragon Boat Festival.

On this day every year, many acquired races in the Longmen Mountains worship the Dragon Abyss River God together and commemorate the occasion by rowing dragon boats.

Therefore, Taiyi personally made dragon boats and, together with the leaders of various tribes such as Yanzi, held a dragon boat race on the Longyuan River.

On that day, the River God of Longyuan appeared, accompanied by shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and rescued the people who had fallen into the water.

On that day, Taiyi personally presided over the sacrificial ceremony, and all the major acquired races and tribes in the Longmen Mountains worshipped the Dragon Abyss River God together.

On that day, under the gaze of the gods of Longmen and countless demigods, the Dragon Abyss River God obtained the power of sacrifice to transform the blessed land and cultivate to the God Lord realm!

The rumors of the past have become reality.

Taiyi's punch made the gods and demigods of Longmen see stars.

Not long ago, he was secretly mocking the River God of Longyuan for his self-degradation, but now he can't help but be driven mad with jealousy.

A God-Lord Realm!

Even Feng Bai was extremely envious, not to mention other true gods, deities, and even demigods who had not yet achieved godhood.

They were all very clear that when Ao Xiji, the current River God of Longyuan, succeeded Li Lingshi as the River God of Longyuan, he had only recently entered the True God Realm.

Only a few hundred years have passed, and he has already cultivated to the God Lord Realm.

This is entirely due to the power of the sacrifice!

Unfortunately, Guang Qi and others studied the Dao in the Yi Qi Hall for over a hundred years, but gained very little.

"This is a scheme by the Taiyi family!"

Guangqi realized something was wrong, but deep down, he also wanted to become the "Dragon Abyss River God".

If one cultivates to the God-Lord Realm, one will have a much wider space and will no longer need to be confined to this small Dragon Gate Mountain Range.

Furthermore, once the Giant Spirit steps down, He may succeed as the Mountain God of the Dragon Gate Mountains, receiving sacrifices from all over the Dragon Gate. Once He accumulates enough sacrificial power, there may be hope for Him to advance even further.

After his expression changed repeatedly, he immediately strode towards Dragon Horn Mountain.

He wanted to consult him.

Guangqi was not the only one with the same idea; some went to see Fengbai, while others went to find Ji Jiang and other dragon deities.

The Dragon Clan is powerful, and the deities of the Dragon Clan lineage within the Dragon Gate Mountains have always been aloof and have some degree of kinship with them. Now is the perfect time to leverage their strength.

……

In the Tianheng Mountains, Huang Shenshi was also alarmed by the commotion at Longmen. His eyes shone brightly as he took in the sight of Ao Xi, the River God of Longyuan, cultivating to the God Lord Realm. He couldn't help but show envy: "Indeed, following Fellow Daoist Taiyi brings endless benefits."

"However, the key to this sacrificial ceremony is Fellow Daoist Taiyi."

More than a hundred years ago, Taiyi further developed the method of using divine consciousness that Huikui had comprehended, and promoted the development of the Great Way of Sacrifice. To this day, the content that Taiyi taught in the One Qi Hall has actually spread to the innate races such as dragons, phoenixes and qilins, as well as the small area of ​​Mount Tai.

This enabled several innate races, as well as some deities of Mount Tai, to use the power of sacrifice more exquisitely.

For example, it can be used to refine divine artifacts, or to cultivate divine medicines and spiritual roots.

The rumors circulating among the human race in the Longmen Mountains about the power of sacrifice were not false.

However, the gods of the Longmen Mountains did not fully comprehend it, and the Taiyi clan did not pass on the method.

However, Huang Shenshi, who obtained a similar method from the Dragon Clan, knew very well that even among the Dragon Clan, even the Ancestral Dragon, the Azure Dragon Clan, and the Thunder Clan, none of them could achieve what Taiyi Clan had done, transforming a vast and diverse amount of sacrificial power into something that seemed to originate from a single person.

A true god accomplished what even the most powerful deities could not do. Huang Shenshi was not shocked, but rather bewildered.

Could this child be His Majesty the Emperor's illegitimate son?

After all, when it comes to mastering the Great Dao of Sacrifice, no one in the world can compare to the Human Emperor, who is the Lord of the Dao!

……

Longmen Mountains.

After helping Ao Xi, the river god of Longyuan River, to become a god, Taiyi did not immediately return to the wilderness. Instead, he went to Fengbai and presented a gourd of innate true yang divine water to Longya to reminisce and ask him some questions about the Great Dao of the Netherworld.

A year later, Taiyi returned to Wuzang Peak.

In Yiqi Palace.

Taiyi received a book from Cimin, the chief physician of the Longmen tribe.

The book cover features several Taoist characters: "Taiyi Medical Encyclopedia!"

Taiyi opened the book and examined each item.

It contains detailed records of the properties, characteristics, medicinal effects, and toxicity of various drugs and poisons, and even includes prescriptions and medical records of drugs that have already been used.

The first part is mostly his own research and legacy from back then.

What follows is the research and practical summary conducted by human physicians such as Cimin over the past few hundred years, who traveled throughout Longmen.

Although the research subjects are limited to various drugs and poisons found in the Longmen Mountains, most of the prescriptions and medical records are applicable to ordinary people or those who have not yet become gods.

But this still has extraordinary significance.

This applies not only to humans, but also to those who cultivate.

The medical theories passed down by Taiyi are also based on Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.

After checking and filling in the gaps, he handed the book back to Cimin and said with a smile, "You haven't become a god yet, are you trying to become a god through the art of medicine?"

Cimin said with some embarrassment, "I do have this idea, but I'm always just a step short. My medical skills haven't reached the divine realm."

Taiyi laughed and said, "It's not that your skills are insufficient, but rather that you haven't truly grasped the essence of medicine, and you haven't been able to refine your own medical philosophy!"

Cimin was stunned when he heard this.

Taiyi said, "Because there is currently no way to practice medicine!"

"Cimin, are you sure you want to become a god through the art of medicine?"

"This is a road no one has ever walked before!"

"Although I am the founder, I cannot be certain how far this path can go."

Cimin was deeply shaken, and then solemnly said, "I am willing!"

"Excellent!"

Taiyi was pleased, and then laughed loudly: "Since that's the case, I will establish a new path today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sheet of merit paper flew out, followed by several other treasures, including Tai ink, a Qingyu gold inkstone, and a Tianyu purple brush.

The inkstone was suspended above the jade inkstone. Magic was poured into it, and the ink fell into the inkstone, then flowed into the jade brush like a dragon.

Taiyi reached out and picked up a brush, wielding it to write on the merit paper while softly chanting.

"A person is a combination of essence, energy, and spirit. When yin and yang are in balance, the spirit is healthy."

"Adverse the minor offenses, and follow the major offenses. Treat the superiors and inferiors, massage and bathe them, weaken and coerce them, do what is appropriate, aim for balance, and prioritize harmony."

"The mean is the foundation of the world; harmony is the universal path of the world."

"When harmony is achieved, heaven and earth are in their proper places, and all things flourish!"

……

"When qi gathers, life arises; when qi is strong, health is achieved; when qi weakens, weakness occurs; when qi dissipates, death ensues..."

"The generating and restraining relationships of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements should be governed by the time, the place, and the person."

Taiyi's words are all precious, integrating the wonders of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, combining the mysteries of yin and yang and the five elements, and encompassing the grand view of time and space, thus accumulating to form the Dao!

When he stopped writing and the sound ceased, a Daoist voice boomed throughout the world, nine times in a row, shaking the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

In an instant, all the heavens and earth of the Three Realms heard the news, and countless gazes turned toward Five Treasures Peak.

At this moment, purple mist filled the sky above Wuzang Peak, directly obscuring the entire wasteland.

From the Great Wilderness Mountain formed by the Great Wilderness Seal, figures emerged one after another.

Houtu clan, Yidi clan, Liling clan, Goujiang clan, Yanzi clan...

Then there was the Giant Spirit Clan, who charged straight from Dragon Gate Peak. Looking at the ever-growing Xuanhuang Merit above his head, he was both delighted and filled with doubt: "What extraordinary feat has my worthy brother accomplished this time?"

Houtu was also speculating at this time: "Could it be that Taiyi has already achieved reincarnation?"

At this moment, all the gods of Longmen were astonished.

Wuzang Peak?

It must be that Taiyi family again!

What did they do to cause such a commotion?

Gazing at the surging purple aura above Wuzang Peak, Guangqi and the other gods of Longmen were momentarily devoid of even jealousy.

Tianheng Mountain Range.

Huang Shenshi stared blankly at the Longmen Mountains, muttering to himself, "The Dao sound resounded nine times, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth trembled together. What is the reason for such a grand-scale Xuanhuang merit?"

"This is the first time in my life I've ever seen such a spectacle..."

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, could you truly be His Majesty the Human Emperor's illegitimate son?"

Deep in the wild mountains.

Qiongqi opened its eyes and looked at Wuzang Peak, its expression one of astonishment: "This kid... actually created his own path?"

……

At this moment, those who looked towards Wuzang Peak and saw Taiyi Shi in the Yiqi Hall couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment.

Even the Emperor was no exception, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Truly a variable!"

He had seen Taiyi pioneer medicine, but not at this time.
