Tian Ta Bu Jing Yun Visits Wuzhuang Temple, Leaving Zhenyuanzi Questioning His Whole Life!

"Exclusive! An interview with Tian Ta Bu Jing Yun and a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of <Prehistoric World: Born as the Human Emperor, the Kongtong Seal Recognizes Me as Its Master>, available only on Kele Novel."

"My name is Huang Tian, and I come from the Shore of the East Sea."

Looking at Zhenyuanzi with a smile, Huang Tian spoke calmly.

Zhenyuanzi's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Huang Tian in disbelief.

Wuzhuang Temple was practically halfway between Buzhou Mountain and the Shore of the East Sea.

Huang Tian had clearly come from the direction of Buzhou Mountain, yet he claimed to come from the Shore of the East Sea.

Taking the strange omens that had been occurring so frequently of late into account, Zhenyuanzi had his suspicions, but he couldn't be sure.

After all, the Human Race had only come into being eight hundred thousand years ago. How could it have produced a terrifying being like Huang Tian, whose cultivation even he couldn't fathom?

"Since you've come, fellow Daoist, it must be fate."

"Why not come into Wuzhuang Temple? We can discuss the Dao together."

After giving it some thought, Zhenyuanzi smiled and invited Huang Tian.

Once one reached the Golden Immortal Realm, cultivating behind closed doors was no longer enough.

Constantly sparring and discussing the Dao with powerful beings of the same rank was widely recognized as a quick way to improve one's cultivation.

But at Zhenyuanzi's level, there weren't many who qualified to discuss the Dao with him.

Huang Tian was one of the few.

"Very well."

Huang Tian nodded and didn't refuse.

Compared to Zhenyuanzi, Huang Tian was actually more in need of discussing the Dao with powerful beings of the same rank.

In the mere eighty years since setting out, Huang Tian had fought his way forward on his own.

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, go pick some Ginseng Fruits. I want to give our guest a proper welcome."

Zhenyuanzi waved a hand and gave the order softly.

Then he led Huang Tian into Wuzhuang Temple, where two meditation cushions had been arranged for them, one for the host and one for the guest.

Huang Tian and Zhenyuanzi took their seats, and Qingfeng and Mingyue brought over several Ginseng Fruits.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree was one of the ten greatest top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots in the Prehistoric World.

Just a sniff of its Ginseng Fruits could extend one's life by three hundred and sixty years.

Eating one could add forty-seven thousand years to one's lifespan.

Besides prolonging life, Ginseng Fruits could also stabilize one's Dao foundation and aid one's cultivation.

They were effective for anyone below Daluo.

For Daluo cultivators and those above them, Ginseng Fruits were no different from ordinary spirit fruits—something to enjoy for the taste.

"The Great Calamity of Lich is approaching, and the two races have been fighting more fiercely of late."

"With your cultivation, fellow Daoist, why have you left your cave abode and begun traveling the world?"

After a while, Huang Tian still hadn't gotten to the point, and Zhenyuanzi couldn't help asking him directly.

Huang Tian gazed at Zhenyuanzi and sighed inwardly.

A Tribulation was both a great calamity and a great opportunity.

Hongjun, for instance, had entered the fray of his own accord, endured one great calamity after another, and survived to this day. He had even reached a level on par with the Heavenly Dao.

In some respects, Zhenyuanzi's foundations surpassed even those of the Sanqing. He was undoubtedly the foremost figure beneath the Six Sages of the Profound Gate.

Unfortunately, Zhenyuanzi was timid by nature and had always hidden away in Wuzhuang Temple, avoiding the world.

Later on, even a mere attendant of Hongjun like Haotian had been able to ride roughshod over him.

How tragic.

Cultivators strove against Heaven for their lives, seeking to seize that sliver of opportunity.

"The Lich Tribulation is something I cannot avoid, whether I wish to or not."

Huang Tian looked intently at Zhenyuanzi and spoke calmly.

"Why?"

Zhenyuanzi asked in confusion.

"My name is Huang Tian, and I come from the Shore of the East Sea."

"You may also call me the leader of the Human Race."

Huang Tian looked at Zhenyuanzi and continued.

"Ah!"

"Are you joking with me, fellow Daoist?"

"Eight hundred thousand years ago, Empress Nuwa created humanity and attained Sainthood."

"Eight hundred thousand years is no more than a few retreats for a Daluo being."

"The Human Race was a postcelestial race created by Empress Nuwa, with an inferior lineage. How could it possibly produce someone I can't even fathom?"

At this, Zhenyuanzi's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Huang Tian, drawing in a sharp breath.

"The Human Race was born in accordance with Heaven's will."

"And I feared no danger, traveling the world even as the Tribulation loomed."

"It was through all I endured, tempering myself repeatedly between life and death, that I achieved what I have today."

"A Tribulation doesn't necessarily mean disaster, especially for beings like you and me."

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, if you don't awaken now, then when?"

Huang Tian spoke slowly to Zhenyuanzi. On the final sentence, he infused his voice with his vital energy, and it rang out like thunder, deafening and jolting.

Zhenyuanzi stared at Huang Tian in disbelief, his mind more shaken than it had ever been.

He had always thought that hiding away in Wuzhuang Temple was the best way to weather the Tribulation.

But now, Zhenyuanzi was questioning everything he believed.

In just eight hundred thousand years, could a mere postcelestial race really become his equal simply by daring to face the Lich Tribulation?

Boom!

In the next instant, a powerful aura of Wutu Earth surged skyward around Zhenyuanzi.

Wanshou Mountain trembled, and so did Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhenyuanzi's aura surged like waves, changing the color of the heavens and stirring the world.

Seeing this, Huang Tian couldn't help praising Zhenyuanzi.

Though Zhenyuanzi was still in the middle stage of the Quasi saint realm, his state of mind had undergone a profound transformation. Breaking through to the late stage of the Quasi saint realm would now be as natural as water flowing downstream.

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist Huang Tian!"

Zhenyuanzi let out a long breath. When he came to himself, he thanked Huang Tian with a solemn gaze.

If Huang Tian hadn't jolted him awake, he would have sunk deeper and deeper into his misguided thinking. By the time he finally came to his senses, it might have been too late.

"This is simply the fate between us. There's no need to thank me, fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi."

Huang Tian looked at Zhenyuanzi with a bright gaze and smiled.

Nuwa and Laozi had watched coldly as the Human Race was slaughtered.

Only Zhenyuanzi had shown compassion for the Human Race and offered them some protection, despite having nothing to gain from them.

For character like that alone, helping Zhenyuanzi elevate his state of mind was no loss to Huang Tian.

"To enter the Tribulation with such a frail body, placing your life and death aside—fellow Daoist Huang Tian, you truly have remarkable courage."

Zhenyuanzi nodded, looking at Huang Tian with heartfelt admiration.

Everyone knew that great calamities came with great opportunities.

But how many would dare risk almost certain death to fight for that sliver of opportunity?

So Zhenyuanzi was no longer surprised that Huang Tian had achieved a level comparable to his own in just eight hundred thousand years. It seemed entirely natural.

"I was created by the Holy Mother. At the beginning, I had nothing at all—not even clothes to cover my body."

"Yet with nothing but the courage in my heart, I still made it this far."

"With your great fortune and immense destiny, fellow Daoist, if you leave Wuzhuang Temple, you may well find a great opportunity."

"After all, when Time is absent, Space reigns supreme."

Huang Tian looked intently at Zhenyuanzi and patiently sought to persuade him.

Simply by relying on the defenses of the Earth Book, no being aside from a Sage could keep Zhenyuanzi there against his will.

"You!"

"How do you know I cultivate the Space Laws, fellow Daoist Huang Tian?"

"Even my close friend Hong Yun doesn't know about this."

Zhenyuanzi had been relatively composed until he heard Huang Tian's last words. Now he was so shocked he could barely stay seated.

He hadn't stayed inside Wuzhuang Temple because he was unable to leave. He simply hadn't wanted to.

Everyone believed that beneath the Sages, the strongest being had to be either the Eastern Emperor Taiyi with the Taiji Diagram or the one with the Chaos Bell.

After all, the Taiji Diagram and the Chaos Bell were both among the Three Treasures of Creation.

But no one knew that Zhenyuanzi, who possessed the Earth Book and had mastered the Space Laws to a profound level, was the most powerful being beneath the Sages—and the best-hidden one of all!
