Twelve Zodiacs, There Is a Household on Wanshou Mountain!

"Hmm?"

"Combining a wisp of the Ziwei Emperor Star Authority, a wisp of Human Race Destiny, and a wisp of Martial Dao Destiny?"

"Interesting."

"Since we are fated, I shall give you a hand."

Having arranged the twelve Martial Dao Stone Tablets, Huang Tian was about to leave when he couldn't help but pause.

A resilient blade of grass had caught Huang Tian's attention.

"By my blood, I command you!"

Without hesitation, Huang Tian offered a drop of his essence blood, which fell upon the resilient blade of grass.

Blood energy billowed like smoke, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi transformed into a storm, with even Star Power being drawn down to descend upon it.

"I pay respects to my Master!"

A moment later, a youth with a face like white jade, sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, and eyes like cold stars took shape and bowed respectfully to Huang Tian.

"I bestow upon you the name, Taibai."

"This is the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the God-Slaying Spear. I will help you refine the first few restrictions."

"You are already aware of the disaster the Human Race is about to face."

"In another two hundred thousand years, the Sage's Barrier will vanish, and the Human Race will be, if not enemies with the whole world, then close to it."

"Especially the Demon Race. If it were only Demon Emperor Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, I would have no fear, but they possess the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation capable of unleashing the power of a Sage."

"Therefore, I need you to seek out the Twelve Zodiacs."

Speaking in rapid succession without hesitation, Huang Tian stared intently at Taibai as he gave his instructions.

"Yes, Master!"

Not daring to delay, Taibai looked at Huang Tian respectfully and accepted the order.

Through the information gained from the Martial Dao techniques Huang Tian had just imparted, Taibai not only understood the Human Race's predicament but also grasped what the Twelve Zodiacs signified.

The Twelve Zodiacs corresponded to the Twelve Earthly Branches, which were connected to the Human Dao and the Human Race.

Establishing the Twelve Earthly Branches through the Twelve Zodiacs would allow the Human Race to define the concept of time clearly.

The sun rising in the east and setting in the west, one day and one night, made up the twelve double-hours.

This would not only propel the development of the Human Race but also complete the Great Desolation Origin.

It would surely bring down immense merit, enough for the leaders of the Twelve Zodiac clans to break through to the Martial Saint (Quasi-Sage) realm.

The power of the Twelve Earthly Branches alone would indeed be lacking when facing the Twelve Capital Divine Gods and Demons Formation or the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

However, Huang Tian held the Ziwei Emperor Star Authority.

If he let the Twelve Zodiacs correspond to the ennoblement of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, combining the Star Power of twelve Martial Saints (Quasi-Sages), they would absolutely be able to contend with the trump cards of the Witch and Demon Clans, keeping the Human Race in an invincible position.

"Yes, Master!"

Without hesitation, Taibai transformed into a streak of light and set off.

Formed from a drop of Huang Tian's essence blood combined with a wisp of Ziwei Emperor Star Authority, a wisp of Human Race Destiny, and a wisp of Martial Dao Destiny, Taibai was at the peak of the Immortal (Taiyi) realm from the moment of his birth.

Coupled with the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the God-Slaying Spear, Taibai was capable of handling himself with ease as long as he did not encounter a Quasi-Sage.

Moreover, Taibai's foundation was excellent, reaching the level of a low-grade Innate God and Devil; breaking through to the Martial Emperor (Daluo) realm was merely a matter of time.

At the Martial Emperor (Daluo) realm, wielding the God-Slaying Spear, even an ordinary Quasi-Sage would be unable to take Taibai down.

Therefore, Huang Tian was quite at ease letting Taibai go in search of the Twelve Zodiacs.

Huang Tian did not remain idle either; with a clear goal in mind, he headed straight for Wuzhuang Temple.

Time was running out for the Human Race; with only two hundred thousand years left, there were still too few top-tier powerhouses.

Huang Tian had to seize the time to recruit allies for the Human Race.

"I have arrived!"

Arriving before a mountain range shrouded in ethereal immortal mist, Huang Tian's gaze was like a torch.

Looking out, Wanshou Mountain stood at an immeasurable height. In its heart, green tiles and stone walls reflected the moss, and the temple gate bore an ancient plaque reading "Wuzhuang Temple."

As his eyes opened and closed, infused with blood energy, Huang Tian could see deeper into Wuzhuang Temple through the formation.

Filled with thick, heavy Earth Qi, a Ginseng Fruit Tree connected heaven and earth, its emerald leaves flowing with mysterious yellow light, bearing fruit shaped like infants. The essence of Innate Wood overflowed, shrouding half of the temple.

Cranes rested in pines, spiritual springs washed over jade, spiritual herbs grew everywhere, and the earth's veins steamed into rosy clouds.

"Pardon the intrusion, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, will you not invite me inside for a chat?"

Without hesitation, Huang Tian spoke.

Infused with blood energy, his voice boomed like thunder, resounding throughout Wuzhuang Temple.

"Since you have come from afar, Fellow Daoist, I am overjoyed. Please, enter."

A misty, profound middle-aged voice rang out, and the innate grand formation guarding Wuzhuang Temple split open a gap.

Huang Tian stepped inside, and the opening in the innate grand formation instantly sealed shut.

"My master ordered us to welcome the Great God. Please, this way!"

Zhenyuanzi's boy and girl attendants, Qingfeng and Mingyue, trotted over on their short legs and bowed respectfully to Huang Tian.

Nodding, Huang Tian followed Qingfeng and Mingyue, unable to help but marvel that Zhenyuanzi was truly one of the few wealthy elites in the Primordial World.

This blessed cave-heaven alone was enough to leave one awestruck.

The rushing rivers and cascading waterfalls were not water at all, but spiritual energy condensed into liquid form.

For a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, cultivating in Wuzhuang Temple would yield twice the result with half the effort.

"The immortal mansion of longevity, the home of the Daoist who lives as long as heaven."

Arriving at the entrance of the vast Wuzhuang Temple, Huang Tian saw a couplet formed by natural Dao scripts on either side, exuding an overwhelming sense of gravity.

"I am Zhenyuanzi. Greetings, fellow Daoist."

As Qingfeng and Mingyue pushed open the gates, a Daoist stepped forward to welcome Huang Tian with a smile.

The Daoist wore a Purple Gold Crown and a Wuyou Crane Cloak, while his Xuanhuang Daoist Robe shimmered with the Wutu Divine Light.

His face was like fine jade, his skin like that of a youth, with three strands of long beard hanging from his chin to his chest and hair as dark as crow feathers.

Holding a Jade Whisk and wearing Cloud-Ascending Boots, the Daoist possessed an indescribable air of elegance.

"My name is Huang Tian. Fellow Daoist, you truly possess profound good fortune."

Smiling as he looked at Zhenyuanzi, Huang Tian cupped his hands in return.

Smiling as he looked at Zhenyuanzi, Huang Tian cupped his hands in return.

There were many top-tier Great Divine Powers in the Primordial World during the Witch-Demon Era, but after using a process of elimination, Huang Tian found there were few potential human allies to choose from.

Zhenyuanzi was the best choice among them.

Like Di Jun and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Zhenyuanzi was one of the last top-tier innate Gods and Devils to take form at the End of the Ancient Era.

The depth of the fortune Zhenyuanzi carried was second only to the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Zhenyuanzi's true form was the essence of innate Wutu, making him the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, and he was born with the Earth Book, which was formed from the Earth Membrane.

The Earth Book was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure capable of commanding the earth's power of the Primordial World, providing astonishing defense.

Of course, the primary function of the Earth Book was actually to wield the Earth Dao Authority to canonize the gods of mountains, rivers, and marshes.

However, at this moment, Zhenyuanzi did not yet know the true purpose of the Earth Book.

This was one of the foundations upon which Huang Tian could persuade Zhenyuanzi to become an ally of the human race.

"Tsk."

As he thought this, brilliant treasure light constantly flashed before Huang Tian's eyes.

The crown binding his hair, his clothes, his belt, his shoes, and even his whisk were all innate spiritual treasures, every single one of them top-grade.

Even Wuzhuang Temple itself was actually a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Moreover, because the entire set shared the same attributes, Zhenyuanzi's collection of treasures could unleash the power of a supreme innate spiritual treasure.

"May I ask who you are, fellow Daoist? Why have I never seen you before?"

While Huang Tian observed Zhenyuanzi, Zhenyuanzi was also observing Huang Tian, secretly clicking his tongue in wonder.

As the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhenyuanzi's strength and ability to deduce the secrets of heaven were terrifyingly powerful.

Aside from sages like Hongjun and Nuwa, Zhenyuanzi truly did not fear the likes of the Sanqing or the Ancestral Witches.

Yet, he could not see through Huang Tian at all; in fact, he felt a faint, vague sense of threat.

That such a figure had never been seen before left Zhenyuanzi feeling incredibly shocked.
