The Primordial World's Innate Human Race's Dao Body

What a Li Er! He dealt us a heavy blow without a sound!

Instantly, the atmosphere in Purple霄 Palace grew heavy.

Facing Hongjun's questioning and Nuwa's answer, Li Er had no intention of explaining.

He lived for himself and didn't need to explain to others.

Li Er would not compromise for Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, or the others.

He walked the Great Dao alone, sticking to his own path, unconcerned by the opinions of others.

After a long while, Nuwa looked deeply at Li Er, as if receiving some sort of revelation. Finally, she made up her mind and spoke:

"Senior Brother, you chose the Human Race as your opportunity back then. Although you have now proven your Dao and become a Saint, the Human Race is still the source of your opportunity."

"Why not take it a step further and establish a religion, setting an example for your junior brothers?"

At this moment, from Nuwa's words, Hongjun's hint was not hard to discern.

It hadn't been mentioned before, but now it was, and Nuwa made her decision to avoid entanglement.

"If Senior Brother agrees to establish a religion, Nuwa is willing to relinquish the karma of the Human Race."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti seemed to grasp some profound truth and requested in unison:

"We implore Senior Brother to establish the Human Religion as our example!"

Facing the four's requests, Li Er remained indifferent.

He turned to Nuwa and said calmly:

"I have already severed the Three Corpses and proven my Dao. I do not need to seek other methods to prove my Dao."

"The Human Race's destiny no longer has any influence on me."

"Junior Sister Nuwa may establish the Human Religion herself. Not only will she be its leader, but she can also make the Human Race's destiny even more prosperous."

Li Er firmly refused to take on the karma, and Nuwa's words did not sway him in the slightest.

Hongjun's gaze shifted to Li Er. Today, all his junior brothers had proven their Dao, yet Li Er expressed his intention to leave.

The Heavenly Dao Hongjun's expression turned grim as he asked Li Er if he truly would not establish the Human Religion.

Li Er firmly refused and immediately prepared to leave.

Outside the Eight Sceneries Palace, Li Er faced the persuasion of Yuanshi and Tongtian, yet he still insisted on his decision.

Although Yuanshi and Tongtian were somewhat helpless, they ultimately chose to respect his decision.

Jieyin and Zhunti watched their departing figures, feeling a sense of loss and anger.

They felt that Li Er had obstructed their path to proving their Dao and lamented that the West and Li Er seemed inherently incompatible.

On the Primordial World's land, Li Er, one of the Three Pure Ones, returned from the Purple Heaven Palace. Instead of returning to Kunlun Mountain, he headed towards the Eight Sceneries Palace.

He felt no regret in his heart regarding the potential karma and resentment he might incur with the Heavenly Dao because of this.

For he understood that even following the trajectory of his previous self, Laozi, after the Investiture of the Gods calamity, he would inevitably take the Saint-Smiting Pill.

He did not care about the Heavenly Dao's feelings.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun were not one and the same, so there was no need for him to feel any psychological burden.

He, Li Er, had already decided to refuse. Currently, his great momentum was established; he did not need the Heavenly Dao's help, nor did he owe the Heavenly Dao any karma.

Regarding the matter of establishing the Human Religion, Li Er resolutely opposed it.

He believed it would bring him no benefit and might instead bring unnecessary trouble.

As for his identity—Pangu's Primordial Spirit, the foremost of the Three Pure Ones, the revered leader of the Daoist sect—he lacked for nothing in terms of merit.

He was born with Pangu's merit of cleaving the heavens, and in his possession was the first acquired supreme treasure of merit—the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

His Daoist sect's destiny, bolstered by the Classic of Morality, was enough to solidify his position.

Therefore, establishing the Human Religion was unnecessary for him.

Recalling that time when the system was not yet activated and he had wanted to establish the Human Religion with Nuwa but was met with coldness, now that he had proven his Dao and gained his cheat, Nuwa naturally could no longer look down on him.

He no longer cared about the Human Race's destiny.

As for the "black pot" of establishing the Human Religion, Nuwa was destined to bear it.

Arriving at Mount Daluo—the location of the Eight Sceneries Palace's mountain gate—Li Er felt a pull of energy, as if something fated to be with him was approaching.

Calculating with his fingers, although the heavenly secrets were obscure and chaotic during the Witch-Demon Calamity, Li Er, having already become a Saint, did not deduce the calamity itself. Instead, he instantly deduced the clue, "This is quite interesting!"

After understanding the heavenly secrets, Li Er smiled calmly and said to Yuanshi and Tongtian, "So it's a master-disciple fate?"

Yuanshi and Tongtian's eyes lit up upon hearing this. They immediately realized this was a good opportunity to take a disciple, perhaps even sparking Li Er's idea of establishing a sect.

Thus, they invited Li Er to head to Mount Daluo together, to see this person who might become their junior-disciple in the future.

Mount Daluo, known among the beings of the Primordial World as a sacred land of the Daoist sect, was rumored to be increasingly prosperous.

However, as the dojo of the newly promoted Saint Li Er, its mountain gate formation was not something ordinary people could enter.

Only those with true great fortune could successfully reach it.

Today, Mount Daluo welcomed an uninvited guest—an Innate Human Race member.

This person possessed no spiritual power, divine abilities, or cultivation, arriving here solely on the strength of his innate good fortune.

Yet, even so, without the help of a benefactor, he would not have been able to reach Mount Daluo.

Yuanshi and Tongtian, witnessing this scene, could not help but sigh at the person's potential.

Although the Human Race lacked cultivation foundations, their innate talent was a natural constitution for cultivating the Dao, akin to a supreme treasure.

Upon appearing, they already exhibited the form of the Innate Dao Body, showcasing their extraordinary nature.

Observing them, we found their disposition to be calm and detached, truly worthy of our admiration and a suitable candidate for my elder brother's lineage.

However, this is not mere empty talk, nor are we intentionally exaggerating.

The potential of the Human Race is genuinely real.

As the first batch of Innate Humans created by Empress Nuwa, they were all nourished by her essence and blood, possessing extraordinary talent.

If given the opportunity to cultivate the Dao, they would surely advance by leaps and bounds and achieve greatness.

Even if their origins were not particularly outstanding among the ordinary beings of the Primordial World, once they broke through, they would be like dragons leaping into the sea.

Yuanshi and Tongtian felt the urge to take them as disciples, but they also knew that taking disciples depended not only on potential but also, more importantly, on destiny and disposition.

This child has a master-disciple destiny with me, but we should ponder more deeply the events behind this.

How did he traverse the myriad mountains to reach here? Just as I refused to establish the Human Sect, this child arrives. Is it all merely a coincidence? Yuanshi and Tongtian reacted swiftly, sensing that something was amiss.

Is this the Heavenly Dao arranging things in secret, or Empress Nuwa making a proactive gesture of goodwill? I must guard against it.

The Heavenly Dao was angered by the matter of the Human Sect, and Nuwa was also affected.

Because Nuwa created humanity, she had to take action regarding the handling of the Human Race.

After Nuwa missed the opportunity to establish the Human Sect, the Heavenly Dao would not directly interfere with my decision, but Nuwa needed to compensate for the absence of the Human Sect.

Tongtian, with his straightforward nature, had long been puzzled by this.

Why did you refuse to establish the Human Sect? I have pondered this question deeply and decided to answer it directly.

In the Primordial World era, white lotus and green lotus leaves coexisted, and the Three Pure Ones had not yet parted ways, still sharing deep brotherly affection.

However, establishing great sects and gaining great influence—do you understand the severe consequences of the future disputes between the Three Sects?

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian, two great deities, felt a surge of myriad thoughts within their hearts, as if grasping something important yet unable to articulate it clearly.

Li Er's words made them understand that if the Three Pure Ones wished to maintain their original harmony, they had to avoid disputes between the Three Sects concerning their doctrines, disciples, and even calamities.

Otherwise, these disputes could shatter the profound friendship of the Three Pure Ones.

Li Er refused to establish the sect because he did not want to see the Three Pure Ones turn against each other due to future conflicts.

His words deeply shocked Yuanshi and Tongtian, sparking profound contemplation.

They began to realize that although they had been pursuing enlightenment and sainthood, the path was not smooth sailing.

Although the Three Pure Ones shared the same origin, their individual paths still differed.

These differences could lead to future disputes and conflicts.

Therefore, they fell into silence, beginning to ponder their future paths.

At this moment, Li Er's figure had already vanished, appearing before the Human Race youth.

At the foot of Mount Daluo, this Human Race youth did not proceed further after arriving.

He knelt there quietly, not daring to slacken in the slightest, for he knew this was a tremendous opportunity.

He gazed forward and suddenly noticed someone riding a green ox approaching not far away.

His demeanor was transcendent and effortless, filled with ethereal Daoist charm.

This filled the Human Race youth with shock and reverence.

Li Er's aura was extraordinary; even without deliberate manifestation, he commanded awe.

His existence transcended the Primordial World, and he was regarded as a Saint.

Behind him, faint purple energy still surged, a formidable omen.

"Xuandu, the Human Race's Xuandu, pays his respects to the Daoist Saint here."

Upon hearing this, Li Er's serene eyes swept over Xuandu.

He had originally thought that the name "Xuandu" was bestowed by his former self, Laozi, but he never imagined that this name originally belonged to Xuandu himself.

Mount Daluo's Eight Sceneries Palace was known as the Purple Mansion of Xuandu, and Xuandu was named after it. They shared a natural master-disciple destiny.

This destiny was unfathomably deep, prompting deep thought.

Xuandu told Li Er that he didn't intend to block the road, but rather because in the past, when a Saint was enlightened and created the Classic of Morality, he was able to witness it and yearned for it, thus he came here to seek the Dao.

He hoped Li Er would take him in.

Xuandu had just prostrated himself, but his forehead couldn't complete the kowtow.

Li Er began to understand why some enlightened masters liked to act mysterious.

Their words were actually a test.

Because those who walk different paths cannot plan together, and the master-disciple bond isn't always long-lasting.

Although Xuandu had no record of betraying the sect later on, at that time, Laozi's protection and the offering of his Good Corpse, Grand Supreme Elder Lord, to shield him from calamity was the result.

The current Li Er and Laozi were not one and the same, so he needed to carefully test Xuandu to see if he met his dharma eye.

Xuandu displayed a firm Dao heart. Facing Li Er, the Grand Pure Saint, his state of mind was like bedrock, unaffected by the title of Saint.

Although he was born of the Human Race and his cultivation was inferior to other beings, he did not fear the Saint's test.

He was determined to kneel there, enduring the wind, rain, and sun, solely hoping the Grand Pure Saint would accept him as a disciple.

His words were filled with determination and a resolve to never regret it until death.

Li Er, as a Saint, could naturally see Xuandu's sincerity.

Moved by Xuandu's firm resolve, Li Er, though silent, already had a trace of admiration in his eyes.

Facing Xuandu's steadfastness, Li Er asked if he had thought it through. Xuandu answered without hesitation that he would never regret it until death, his voice echoing through Mount Daluo.

Xuandu kowtowed again. This time, there was no prior restraint. Three loud thuds came from the heart.

Li Er was satisfied and accepted Xuandu as his disciple, teaching him the Grand Pure Immortal Method and bestowing upon him the will of Taiqing.

Although Li Er taking a disciple did not mean he would establish a sect, it did not affect Xuandu becoming Li Er's **.

Today's update is a bit late, and I deeply apologize for this.

When doing things, one must bravely admit mistakes and bravely face and solve problems.

Apology

I deeply apologize to everyone.

I understand that you have all been waiting for the update, and as an author, I have kept you waiting.

Today, I am willing to accept your criticism.

Regarding explanations, I don't want to say much; the reasons are all about trivial personal emotional matters.

Without money, I can only embrace that unattainable person in my dreams.

Although there have been many breakups and makeups, this time I have decided to let go.

I will stay up late writing tonight, and I hope you all won't give up on me.

Please give this unsuccessful author another chance.

Outside the Eight Sceneries Palace! Xuandu was accepted as a disciple by Li Er, his excitement beyond words.

Even though his Dao heart was steady, becoming a disciple of a Saint, no emotion could be suppressed.

Immediately, Li Er's Grand Pure Immortal Qi entered Xuandu's body, and Xuandu's physique awakened almost instantly.

Born with the Human Race's natural Dao Body, Xuandu's transformation at this moment was like adding wings to a tiger.

As the direct ** of the Grand Pure lineage, Xuandu bore the honor of the Eight Sceneries Palace.
