Preaching to the Human Clan Three Times
Hong Yun gasped, "Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming actually values this Human Clan so much!"
"Not only did he bestow upon them the Innate Gourd Vine, but he also left a Power Imprint on it!"
"If it weren't for the fact that you and I had discussed Dao with Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming for a thousand years and were extremely familiar with his aura, we probably wouldn't have been able to detect the power he left behind!"
Zhen Yuanzi's eyes were deep. "It seems that this Human Clan must possess a great opportunity!"
"Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming wouldn't have gone to such lengths."
"Could it be... that the opportunity for the Human Clan that Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming spoke of lies here?" Zhen Yuanzi wondered to himself.
Hong Yun also considered this. "Very likely! Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming specifically pointed out my affinity with the Human Clan, could it be referring to this?"
The two exchanged a glance, then nodded slightly in unison, everything understood without a word.
At this moment, Wu and the other two, including Suiren, had already approached.
Wu held the Innate Gourd Vine in both hands, bowed deeply to Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi once more, and spoke with utmost sincerity.
"Reporting to the two seniors, this is the Innate Gourd Vine, Human Clan's Supreme Treasure."
"We are willing to offer this treasure to you two seniors, only asking that you, in consideration of our Human Clan's sincerity, accept us as your disciples!"
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Suiren looked at Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi with tense expressions, their palms sweating.
Hong Yun stepped forward, looked at Wu, and a complicated smile appeared on her face.
He shook his head and said, "Young friend, we appreciate your kindness."
"But regarding the matter of taking on a disciple, as I've already stated, neither of us intends to accept any disciples, and besides, you and we truly have no affinity for the role of master and disciple."
"However... given Human Clan commendable sincerity, we two might be able to make an exception."
"There's no need for formal apprenticeship. However, the two of us can stay in your Human Tribe for a while, Three Sermons, and guide your cultivation. What do you say?"
Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi were both surprised and delighted, hardly believing their ears!
Two Great Powers personally Dao Lecture! And three times at that!
This... this is like a godsend!
"Thank you, senior!" Wu quickly bowed in thanks.
The three members of the Suiren quickly bowed and said, "Thank you so much for your great kindness, seniors!"
The general handed the Innate Gourd Vine to Hong Yun again and said sincerely.
"This treasure is offered to you two esteemed elders as a token of our gratitude for your willingness to Dao Lecture to us!"
Hong Yun waved her hand and laughed, "That won't be necessary."
"The original owner of this treasure had some connection with us."
"Since he bestowed this treasure upon your Human Clan, there must be a deeper meaning behind it."
"You should keep this safe. Remember, never show it to anyone again, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."
Upon hearing this, Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi were startled and quickly responded.
"Yes! We will remember your teachings! We will keep it safe and never show it to anyone!"
Wu nodded solemnly.
Seeing this, Hong Yun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good."
At this moment, Suiren's face regained its warm smile, and he stepped forward.
"Esteemed esteemed guests, please follow us. Let us extend our hospitality and provide you with a proper welcome!"
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun exchanged a smile and nodded.
Then, he followed Suiren and the others deeper into the tribe.
In the Primordial Wilderness, years are immeasurable; in spiritual practice, time is boundless.
Tens of Ten Thousand Years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Tens of thousands of years have passed since the arrival of the two Great Powers, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, in the Human Clan Ancestral Land.
Over these tens of thousands of years, the two Great Powers kept their promise and Open Altar to Preach three times, explaining the ultimate principles of heaven and earth to the newly born Human Clan and guiding them through the maze of cultivation.
During this period, the Great Witch Hou Yi also visited the Human Tribe once.
He was also surprised when he discovered that Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun were there.
Hou Yi dared not delay and hurriedly returned to the Pangu Hall to report the matter to Zhou Ming.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming simply nodded slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on his face, and then instructed Hou Yi to lead his people back to the territory of the Wu Clan.
Thus, during this long period of time, the Human Clan thrived peacefully under the indirect protection and direct guidance of Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun.
At this moment, outside the Human Clan Ancestral Land, tens of thousands of the Human Clan stood in neat rows, their expressions solemn.
Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi, and Wu stood at the very front, their expressions respectful.
"Sigh, tens of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye," Hong Yun with some emotion.
Zhen Yuanzi remained dressed in plain robes, his expression calm. He looked down at the Human Clan and spoke slowly.
"The three Dao Lecture have concluded, and the karmic connection has been exhausted."
"It is time for us two to depart. What the future holds for the Human Clan, and how far it will go, will depend entirely on your own Zaohua."
Upon hearing this, Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi, and Wu stepped forward and bowed deeply to Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun.
"Thank you both for your teachings and protection over the past tens of thousands of years!"
Suiren's voice was steady and filled with gratitude. "Our Human Clan will never forget the great kindness and virtue shown to the Human Clan by our two predecessors!"
"If our Human Clan achieves anything in the future, we will never forget the teachings of our predecessors and will surely repay them handsomely!"
Zhen Yuanzi looked at them, a faint smile on his face, and nodded gently. "Good."
Hong Yun laughed heartily and waved his hand, "Alright, alright, your Human Clan is dirt poor right now, what generous reward can you possibly have?"
"Develop well and avoid being wiped out; that would be the best reward you could give us!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the Dao Rhyme emanated from the two of them, and they transformed into two streaks of light that shot into the sky and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to our two seniors!"
Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi, and Wu led all their clansmen behind them.
They shouted in unison once more, their voices soaring into the Yunxiao, filled with boundless respect and reluctance, echoing between heaven and earth for a long time.
Only after the two streaks of light had completely disappeared did the group slowly straighten up.
The atmosphere remained somewhat melancholic.
Wu took a deep breath, suppressing the sorrow and longing in his heart.
He turned around and looked at Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi Shi, his eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.
"Brother Suiren, Brother Youchao, Sister Ziyi."
Upon hearing this, all three turned their gazes to him.
"From today onwards, I am preparing to begin my seclusion."
"For the sake of our Human Clan, devise a cultivation Cultivation Method truly suitable for us!"
Suiren took a deep breath and looked at Wu solemnly. "Alright! Wu, you can go into seclusion in peace!"
"As long as the three of us have a breath left, we will never Human Clan, nor will we allow anyone to disturb you!"
Youchao nodded emphatically. "That's right! Wu, you can rest assured!"
"Leave the tribe's affairs to us!"
"You just go and do your important business! We'll wait for you to emerge!"
The Ziyi Shi also said gently, "Wu, focus on refining your Cultivation Method. We will protect the Human Clan and wait for you to emerge from seclusion."
Looking at the trust and support in the eyes of his three companions, Wu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He nodded solemnly.
Thank you, my three Elder Brother and sisters.
"Human Clan, I entrust this to you."
After saying that, he didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards his stone house deep in the tribe.
