"Daoist Friend Tian Chen? Why are you sitting here?"
At that moment, Houtu arrived at Purple Heaven Palace. Seeing Tian Chen sitting cross-legged on the stone steps of Purple Heaven Palace, she asked in confusion.
She had originally planned to call him "little friend." After all, Tian Chen was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, while she had already reached the Grand Unity Peak. However, when she remembered that Tian Chen had created the Method of Becoming a Saint, she realized he was qualified to stand on equal footing with her.
Tian Chen looked at Houtu and said, as if he had sensed something, "I'm waiting for you. Didn't you have something to discuss with me?"
"Hm?" Houtu was stunned. She stared at Chen Tian in disbelief. Only the Twelve Ancestral Witches knew about this, so how could Chen Tian possibly know? Moreover, he had arrived before her, meaning he could not have overheard their conversation.
But the Prehistoric World was vast. Who could say that no one knew? Perhaps the Daoist Tian Chen before her had comprehended some divine ability that allowed him to hear anything.
"All right, Daoist Friend Tian Chen. I heard that you created your own Method of Becoming a Saint. I wonder if the Witch Clan is qualified to learn it?" Houtu looked at Chen Tian and paused before continuing, "We won't learn it for free. Since the Witch Clan emerged, we've picked up quite a few spirit treasures. We can hand them all over to Daoist Friend Tian Chen."
After hearing this, Chen Tian nodded. The Immortal Dao Body was most suitable for the Witch Clan, since they were originally body-refining cultivators. However, he could not give them the Solar Lunar Divine Skill. This was meant for the future human race...
Wait, that wasn't right. Hadn't he shown off and given it to his three masters and the Fuxi siblings?
At that thought, Chen Tian immediately felt depressed. Damn it... Why had he taken it out just to show off? Why couldn't he control his mouth and hands?
But after thinking it over, that was a martial arts cultivation technique. Aside from the human race, it would be difficult for anyone else to learn it. The demon race in particular would have an extremely hard time. Humans and the demon race were vastly different in terms of bone structure, acupoints, and countless other aspects. How could they learn the Solar Lunar Divine Skill like he had? It would be incredibly difficult!
So it was fine even if he had given it away. It might even end up harming someone!
"It's possible. This method can condense a primordial spirit, but your Witch Clan still needs to find a cultivation method for refining primordial spirits. Otherwise, even after becoming a saint, your primordial spirits will remain extremely weak. You should know that after achieving Sainthood of the Physical Body, it will be very difficult to become a saint if your primordial spirit is weak." Chen Tian nodded as he spoke.
"Thank you, Daoist Friend." Houtu smiled after hearing this.
"It's nothing. I'll transmit the Immortal Dao Body to you now." After saying this, Chen Tian stood up and pressed his index finger against the center of Houtu's brow. A warm current then entered Houtu's mind.
Houtu knew what this was and hurriedly received and read it...
Inside Purple Heaven Palace, Hongjun saw this happen, and the skin on his face twitched furiously. He rolled his eyes. He just gave it to her? This was the saint who would transform into the reincarnation... Why were you messing things up again?
But after thinking about it, he could only sigh. Houtu had originally possessed no primordial spirit, and after transforming into the reincarnation, she could only remain there forever. Now that she could condense a primordial spirit, it seemed inevitable that Hongjun would control Heaven while Houtu controlled Earth.
No one knew how much time had passed. Perhaps a year, or perhaps a millennium. Only then did Houtu awaken, and she found that Chen Tian had already left at some point. After learning the technique, Houtu finally understood the might of the "Immortal Dao Body." She bowed deeply toward Purple Heaven Palace before entering the Prehistoric World.
Purple Heaven Palace had already been closed. Perhaps the others were currently listening to the Dao inside, so she did not want to disturb them. But now that she had obtained a Method of Becoming a Saint—and one that could truly condense a primordial spirit—she had to hurry back and tell her elder brother.
Indeed, the Dao was currently being expounded inside Purple Heaven Palace. Without anyone realizing it, the Prehistoric World had been changed by the fluttering wings of Chen Tian's little butterfly!
Kunpeng, who had originally hated Hong Yun to the extreme, had now become Daoist Friends with him. Taishang Laozi, who had originally only slashed a corpse during the second lecture, had now reached the late stage of the first corpse and was about to reach the peak before slashing his second corpse.
As for Yuanshi and Tongtian, they should have only been Daluo by now. But what about now? One had reached the middle stage of the first corpse, while the other had already slashed two corpses.
Then there were Nuwa and Fuxi. They had originally both become Demon Sovereigns of the demon race, but now? Neither had joined the demon race. They had never truly belonged to the demon race in the first place; they were transformed primordial spirits of Chaos Demon Gods. Thus, because of Chen Tian, they had become rogue immortals. In the future, they would become saints of the human race, and Fuxi might even become the human race's Saint Father.
As for Chen Tian, he was quietly listening to the Dao. The Spiritual Energy within his body was extremely vast and dense, as if he were about to break through.
Two thousand years passed quickly.
Hongjun said calmly, "Awaken."
Everyone opened their eyes and bowed in unison. "Thank you for your great kindness, Teacher."
Hongjun had become the teacher of the Three Thousand Mortal Guests. This was an indisputable fact. But Chen Tian did not awaken. Instead, the Spiritual Energy within his body grew increasingly vast!
Everyone looked over. Seeing this, Hongjun casually waved his hand. Vast Chaos Qi was drawn in from outside Purple Heaven Palace and gathered into a vortex above Chen Tian's head. In the end, it transformed into Innate Spiritual Qi mixed with a small amount of Chaos Qi and entered Chen Tian's body.
Hongjun knew that this grand-disciple of his possessed a method of achieving Sainthood of the Physical Body, so using Chaos Qi to refine his body was the best choice.
No one knew how much time passed before a sound like shattering glass rang out from within Chen Tian's body. This was... a breakthrough!
Chen Tian had now reached the mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal. Beside the seven Sun and Moon within his body, an identical shadow appeared beside each of them. Of course, they were only shadows. Chen Tian would have to break through again before he could truly condense them.
"Whoosh..."
Chen Tian exhaled a breath of foul air and opened his eyes. One golden and one white, his strange eyes reflected two flames. This was... the Solar True Fire and Lunar True Fire!
Di Jun, Taiyi, Xihe, and Changxi all stared at Chen Tian in disbelief.
The Solar True Fire and Lunar True Fire were the source flames of the Sun and Moon stars. Aside from the four of them, no one else could withstand these flames! Yet Chen Tian now possessed the Solar True Fire and Lunar True Fire. It was simply unbelievable!
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor." Chen Tian cupped his hands in salute.
Hongjun nodded with a smile, then looked at the Three Thousand Mortal Guests. "Today, I sense that the living beings of the Prehistoric World are ignorant, so I shall establish two immortals to jointly manage the Prehistoric World!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. They were going to act on Hongjun's behalf and manage the Prehistoric World!
Di Jun and Taiyi were the most excited of all! Not long ago, they had established the Demon Court and accepted many demon race members. They had thought Hongjun intended to have the Demon Court manage the Prehistoric World!
"East King Duke, you were transformed from Innate Yang Qi. You may become the leader of the male immortals. This treasure is the Dragon Head Crutch. I grant it to you to manage the male immortals."
Hongjun ignored the others and continued directly, "Queen Mother of the West, you were transformed from Innate Yin Qi. You may become the leader of the female immortals. One of these two treasures is the Pure Water Alms Bowl, and the other is the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner. They can help you manage all the female immortals under Heaven."
Two profound lights then appeared and descended into the hands of East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West. Seeing this, Di Jun and Taiyi's faces turned black!
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor. I will certainly not disappoint you. I will manage the male immortals of the Prehistoric World on your behalf!" East King Duke's face was filled with excitement. He had never expected to receive such an opportunity—to manage the living beings of the Prehistoric World and possess such a noble status and exalted position.
"Dao Ancestor, my abilities are limited. I'm afraid I may not be up to the task..." Queen Mother of the West wore a troubled expression. She was not like East King Duke, who could be led astray by just a few words from Dao Ancestor.
"It's fine. If they refuse to obey, you may call me." Hongjun spoke calmly. In truth, the old bastard had never planned to intervene personally.
