Humans live in the primordial world, investing in countless realms

Chapter 168 Lao Tzu's Regret, A Glimmer of Hope for the Jie Sect!

Upon seeing Lao Tzu approaching, Lin Chen immediately sensed that nothing good was coming.

After all, the last time the other party came, it was to ask him to return to the human race to handle some matters. What kind of good thing is that?

Laozi frowned.

"You brat, how can you talk about your own senior master in your mind like that?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You're a saint, old man. You wouldn't be looking for me unless there was some bad news, Uncle-Master. Could it be that something bad has happened to the human race again?"

Lao Tzu shook his head this time, and slowly began to speak.

"No, that's not it. But you just sensed the aura of a Primordial Golden Immortal. What's going on? Did you perhaps encounter another saint?"

Lin Chen immediately thought of the matter of Ancestor Yang Mei. Su Xing nodded. In any case, the other party was a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and he was an existence that could overpower Hongjun. Even if the saints of the prehistoric world came to his door, they probably would not be his match. He was not afraid of exposing the other party's existence.

"After my primordial spirit entered the chaos, I did indeed encounter a senior, but that person was not a saint. When I communicated with that senior, he made it clear that he was not a saint, but a Primordial Golden Immortal!"

A Primordial Golden Immortal?

In an instant, Lao Tzu also thought of someone and spoke up.

"Are you referring to the Time Demon God, Ancestor Yang Mei?"

Lin Chen nodded, but also looked at Li Zi with curiosity.

"Uncle-Master, you know this person!"

Lao Tzu nodded, and finally sighed.

"It's impossible not to know. Since becoming a saint, we have been able to know a lot of things. We naturally saw the scene after the Dao Ancestor became a saint. This person was a being who overpowered the Dao Ancestor and is the only one we know of who attained the Dao through force."

"After learning about this person, I..."

Lao Tzu abruptly stopped halfway through his speech, ultimately only letting out a sigh and not continuing.

But Lin Chen understood why the other party was acting this way.

It's nothing more than envy.

After all, the other party achieved enlightenment through strength. Although they could not freely enter the primordial world, they were incredibly free, which was exactly what he envied.

"Actually, I also tried to achieve enlightenment through force back then."

"However, seeing Nuwa attain enlightenment has made me anxious, and besides, the Three Corpses Technique..."

After saying all this, Lao Tzu's envy deepened, and he could only slowly begin to speak.

"Sigh, this is truly a sad story."

Lin Chen couldn't help but nod at this moment. If he were a saint, he would probably suffer for a year or two.

After all, who could stand it?

After finally becoming a saint, he suddenly discovered that he had lost his freedom, while a powerful being who had attained enlightenment through force was soaring freely in the chaos!

Who wouldn't feel terrible about this for a year or two?

By the way, for a sage, this matter would probably cause him considerable distress for many years.

Looking at the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but start talking.

"Elder Master, there's no need to be so upset. Why don't you do it like my master did?"

"Isn't my master going to step down from his saintly position in the future?"

Lao Tzu glanced at Lin Chen, rolled his eyes, and slowly began to speak.

"Yes, your master will indeed depart, but this depends on the will of Heaven, not on what I can do."

"Besides, your master did it voluntarily!"

Lin Chen froze on the spot for a moment, then pinched his chin and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Senior Uncle, why don't you tell me about this?"

Lao Tzu shook his head, seemingly unwilling to say much about the matter. He could only look at Lin Chen for a moment before leaving a single sentence.

"Think about this yourself. Your master's departure from his holy position is also related to the doctrines of the Jie Sect!"

After he finished speaking, Lin Chen was stunned. The doctrines of the Jie Sect?

Upon closer examination, the teachings of the Jie Sect are nothing more than seeking a way of life for all living beings.

The concept of "vitality" is quite broad; everyone has a different understanding of what kind of vitality it refers to.

But when it came to anything related to this, Lin Chen couldn't help but ponder.

Was the fall from sainthood for the sake of survival?

"There are nine holy positions in the world. Apart from the seven holy beings, a purple aura merged into some people, granting them special positions. This is the eighth holy being. The ninth holy being has already been determined. This person will be born in the future, and we will not be able to see it."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

After hearing Lao Tzu's voice, Lin Chen couldn't help but become curious. Could it be related to this Primordial Purple Qi?

To be honest, he didn't see anything interesting about this thing; it was definitely not as good as the Primordial Chaos Qi.

Upon relinquishing one's sacred position, the purple aura departs from the body.

After thinking about this, Lin Chen couldn't help but look at Laozi.

"Senior Uncle, you're not saying that my master used his own purple energy to save the world, are you?"

Lao Tzu nodded, then looked towards the primordial world.

"And that glimmer of life lies in the future, in a future we cannot see. That future is obscured; though we cannot see it clearly, we can still vaguely sense it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but be speechless; he hadn't expected such an answer.

Lin Chen was speechless, but thinking about it, his master's departure from the sainthood was just to find a way out for him, so it was fine and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Lin Chen became extremely curious about this ninth saint.

Lao Tzu said that person is in the future. Who is that person?

Who will become a saint in the future?

Judging from my appearance, I doubt the other party knows either.

The existence of this Heavenly Dao directly obscures a great deal of information, even from the sages.

Looking at it this way, he realized that the Heavenly Dao was too cautious, not even trusting its own people. Thinking about it this way, he was speechless at the Heavenly Dao.

However, after a moment, he couldn't help but start talking.

"Senior Uncle, you're not thinking of finding Ancestor Yang Mei, are you?"

Upon hearing this sudden change, Laozi was momentarily eager to try it out, but after a moment, he quickly shook his head.

This is something he can only think about; he knows that he is bound by the laws of nature, and this idea is impossible to realize.

He couldn't help but sigh for a moment, and then began to speak.

"I didn't have that thought; I was just curious. I thought you had actually become a saint. But your primordial spirit actually entered the primordial world, and I didn't notice. Don't you have to explain how you did it?"
