Houtu Arrives, the Foremost Male and Female Immortals

"Tian Chen, little... Fellow Daoist? Why are you sitting here?"

At that moment, Houtu arrived at Purple霄 Palace and saw Tian Chen sitting on the stone steps, asking in confusion.

She had originally intended to call him "little friend," as Tian Chen was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal now, while she was already at Grand Unity Peak. But then she remembered that Tian Chen had created a Method of Becoming a Saint, which meant he was qualified to be her equal.

Tian Chen looked at Houtu, feeling a sense of connection. "I was waiting for you. Didn't you have something to discuss with me?"

"Huh?" Houtu was greatly alarmed and looked at Chen Tian in disbelief. Only the Twelve Ancestral Witches knew about this matter; how could Chen Tian possibly know? Moreover, he had arrived earlier, so it was impossible for him to have overheard their conversation.

However, in a world as vast as the Primordial World, who knew what was possible? Perhaps this Daoist Tian Chen had comprehended some divine ability of Heavenly Ears.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Tian Chen, I heard you've created a Method of Becoming a Saint. Does the Witch Clan have the qualification to learn it?" Houtu looked at Chen Tian and paused. "We won't learn it for free. Since the Witch Clan emerged, we've found quite a few Spiritual Treasures, all of which can be given to you, Fellow Daoist Tian Chen."

Chen Tian nodded after hearing this. The Immortal Dao Body was most suitable for the Witch Clan, as they were originally body-refining cultivators. However, the Solar and Lunar Divine Skills could not be given to them. These were meant for the Human Race in the future...

Wait a minute, I seem to have shown them off to my three masters and the siblings Nuwa and Fuxi...

Thinking of this, Chen Tian felt a pang of frustration. Damn it... why did I have to show off and take them out? Why can't I control my mouth and hands?

But then he thought about it. Those were Martial Dao cultivation techniques. It would be very difficult for anyone other than the Human Race to learn them, especially the Demon Race. One must know that humans and demons are vastly different in terms of their roots, acupoints, and so on. To learn the Solar and Lunar Divine Skills like him would be extremely difficult!

So, it wasn't a big deal to give them out. Perhaps it would even cause harm!

"Yes, this method can condense a primordial spirit. However, your Witch Clan will still need to find a cultivation technique for refining the primordial spirit. Otherwise, even if you become a Saint, your primordial spirit will still be very weak. You must know that if your primordial spirit is weak after achieving Sainthood of the Physical Body... it will be very difficult to become a Saint," Chen Tian nodded and said.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist," Houtu said with a smile after hearing this.

"It's nothing. I will now pass on the Immortal Dao Body to you." As Chen Tian spoke, he stood up and pointed his index finger at Houtu's forehead. A warm current then entered Houtu's mind.

Houtu knew what this was and quickly absorbed and read it...

Hongjun, who was inside Purple霄 Palace, saw this and his face twitched wildly. He rolled his eyes. He just gave it to her like that? This was a Saint who would embody reincarnation... You're messing around again?

But then he sighed. In the past, Houtu had no primordial spirit, and after embodying reincarnation, she could only eternally guard the cycle of reincarnation. Now that she could condense a primordial spirit, with Hongjun ruling the heavens and Houtu ruling the earth, there was no escape.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps a year, perhaps a thousand years, Houtu awoke. Tian Chen had already left at some unknown time. After studying it, Houtu realized the power of the Immortal Dao Body! She bowed deeply to Purple霄 Palace, then entered the Primordial World.

Purple霄 Palace was already closed, and perhaps a lecture on the Dao was ongoing inside. She didn't want to disturb them. However, she had now obtained the Method of Becoming a Saint, and it could indeed condense a primordial spirit! She quickly returned to inform her elder brother.

And inside the Purple Firmament Palace, a lecture on the Dao was indeed in progress. Unknowingly, the Primordial World had been altered by the fluttering wings of Tian Chen, the little butterfly!

Kunpeng, who had originally hated Hongyun immensely, was now friends with Hongyun. Laozi, who had originally only severed his first corpse during his second attempt, was now in the late stage of his first corpse, on the verge of peak stage and about to sever his second corpse.

As for Yuanshi and Tongtian, they were originally only Grand Unity at this time, but now? One was in the middle stage of his first corpse, and the other had already severed his second corpse.

Nuwa and Fuxi, who had originally become the Demon Empress and a Demon Emperor respectively, were now... neither had joined the Demon Race. This was because they were not originally demons but the primordial spirits of Chaos Demon Gods who had undergone form transformation. Therefore, due to Tian Chen's influence, they became rogue Immortals and would become Saints of the Human Race in the future. Perhaps Fuxi would even become the Saint Father of the Human Race.

As for Tian Chen, he was now quietly listening to the Dao, his spiritual energy within his body extremely vast and potent, as if he were about to break through.

Two thousand years quickly passed.

Hongjun spoke faintly, "Awaken."

Everyone opened their eyes and bowed in unison, "Thank you, Teacher, for your great kindness."

Hongjun becoming the teacher of the Three Thousand Mortal Guests was an undeniable fact. However, Tian Chen did not awaken, and the spiritual energy within his body became even more powerful!

Everyone looked over. Hongjun saw this and waved his hand, drawing a vast amount of Chaos Qi from outside Purple霄 Palace, which condensed into a vortex above Tian Chen's head. It eventually transformed into Innate Spiritual Qi mixed with a small amount of Chaos Qi and entered Tian Chen's body.

Hongjun knew that his grand-disciple had a body-refining Method of Becoming a Saint, so it was best to use Chaos Qi to refine his body now.

After an unknown amount of time, a sound like shattering glass echoed from within Tian Chen's body. This was... a breakthrough!

Tian Chen was now in the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Beside the seven Solar and Lunar stars within him, shadowy figures of the same kind appeared. Of course, they were only shadows; Tian Chen would need to break through to truly condense them.

"Hoo..."

Tian Chen exhaled a breath of turbid qi and opened his eyes. One eye was golden, and the other was white. Strange dual pupils reflected two streams of flame. This was... Solar True Fire and Lunar True Fire!

Di Jun, Tai Yi, Xi He, and Chang Xi, who were present, looked at Tian Chen in disbelief.

One must know that Solar True Fire and Lunar True Fire were the primal true fires of the Solar and Lunar Stars. Apart from the four of them, no one else could withstand these flames! Now, Tian Chen actually possessed Solar and Lunar True Fire. It was simply unbelievable!

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor," Tian Chen said with a respectful bow.

Hongjun smiled and nodded, then looked at the Three Thousand Mortal Guests and said, "Today, I sense the ignorance of the living beings in the Primordial World. I shall establish two Immortals to jointly manage the Primordial World!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. To act as Hongjun's proxy and manage the Primordial World!

Among them, Di Jun and Tai Yi were the most excited! They had only recently established the Demon Court and recruited many members of the Demon Race. They thought Hongjun was going to find the Demon Court to manage the Primordial World!

"East King Duke, you were born from innate yang energy and shall be the leader of the male Immortals. This treasure, the Dragon Head Crutch, is bestowed upon you to manage the male Immortals."

Hongjun ignored the others and directly spoke, "Queen Mother of the West, you were born from innate yin energy and shall be the leader of the female Immortals. These two treasures, one is the Pure Water Alms Bowl, and the other is the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner, will help you manage all the female Immortals in the world."

Following this, two streaks of profound light appeared and descended into the hands of East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West. Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces turned ashen!

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor. I will surely not fail you, Dao Ancestor, and will manage the male Immortals of the Primordial World for you!" East King Duke's face was filled with excitement. He never expected to have such an opportunity, to manage all beings in the Primordial World, with such noble status and esteemed position.

"Dao Ancestor, my abilities are humble, and I fear I have the will but not the strength..." Queen Mother of the West, however, looked troubled. She was not like East King Duke, who could be so overwhelmed by the Dao Ancestor's few words that he lost his bearings.

"It's alright. If they disobey, you may summon me," Hongjun said faintly. In truth, this old fellow had no intention of truly intervening.
