A Single "Fellow Daoist" for a Lifetime

Within the Huaxu Tribe, the storm of a battle was extinguished without a trace, and after the dust settled, all that remained was splendor and celebration.

Long Yin was killed by Huaxu with a single palm strike, but he was still given a chance to reincarnate. His true spirit and the Great Dao were not completely destroyed, which can be considered as giving him a glimmer of hope.

As for Long Yin's few loyal subordinates, Huaxu did not kill them or abolish their cultivation. Instead, she expelled them from the Huaxu Tribe. They were human but not members of the Huaxu Tribe, and thus became homeless.

With this, the chaos in the Huaxu Tribe came to a complete end, and the power of the tribe once again fell into Huaxu's hands. After all, Huaxu was the founder of this tribe, and it was only because his cultivation level had regressed that Long Yin was able to take advantage of him.

Although Huaxu held great power in the tribe, she did not choose to continue serving as the chieftain, so the position was vacant, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Feng Qing initially had some ideas, but upon seeing the alliance between Huaxu and Chong Ming, along with the unpredictable Xuandu and the enigmatic Fuxi, he ultimately extinguished the last vestige of ambition in his heart and completely submitted.

Inside a grand hall, Huaxu, Suiren, Xuandu, Chong Ming, and several others sat upright.

"You're saying you want Fuxi to become the chieftain of the Huaxu Tribe right now?"

In response to the Suiren Clan's question, Huaxu nodded and said softly, "Fuxi has nothing left to learn from me. In every aspect, he has surpassed me. The only thing he lacks now is cultivation, but for him, it's only a matter of time."

Xuandu also spoke up, saying, "That is indeed true. I can no longer teach Fuxi. What remains is for him to learn from Heaven and Earth, to find his own path, and to find the path of humanity."

"In this process, none of us can teach him; he can only rely on himself. I still agree with making Fuxi the chieftain of the Huaxu Tribe, but that's your business, and I can't say much more. You can decide the specifics yourselves."

Although Xuandu was Innate Human Race, he is now the leader of the Human Teachings and Saint Disciple, so he still does not want to interfere in the division of power within the human race.

Upon hearing Fuxi and Huaxu's words, Suiren Clan didn't say anything, only nodded slightly. After all, this was an internal matter of the Huaxu Tribe, and discussing it with him was just a polite gesture, also considering his special status.

Suiren Clan stood up and said, "Sister Huaxu, fellow Daoists, I won't stay any longer. A human tribe has openly issued a proclamation opposing the current rule of the human race, which can be considered as establishing its own independent state."

"His Heavenly Sovereign has issued an edict; I must attend to this matter!"

Upon hearing Suiren Clan's words, Huaxu could no longer contain her doubts and asked why the human race had been doing this recently.

Suiren Clan hesitated for a moment, but still revealed the plan devised by the human race's high command. After all, these were the first generation of humans, and they would not betray the human race.

Upon hearing Suiren Clan's words, everyone fell silent, unsure of what to say. If anything, they could simply say, "Adorable!"

The high-ranking members of the Heavenly Sovereign, Suiren Clan, You Chao Shi, Zhi Shengshi, and others were truly endearing; they were willing to sacrifice everything for their people.

The group bowed slightly to the Suiren Clan, a bow made solely for the sake of the human race!

Suiren Clan laughed heartily, accepting the offer without hesitation. He then walked out of the main hall, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back, looked at Huaxu, and asked, "Sister, I have a question for you. How do you view your relationship with Fuxi in the future?"

Suiren Clan pondered this question for a long time. It was only a matter of time before Fuxi awakened his memories. At that time, how would Fuxi and Huaxu get along, and what would their relationship be?

Huaxu smiled gently, looked at Fuxi who was explaining life skills to his people in the distance, and then said, "As long as his memory remains unawakened, I will be his mother for a day. If his memory awakens in the future, a single word as 'fellow Daoist' will be enough for a lifetime!"

"Are you saying that because you couldn't remember the date, the child was born at an unknown time, and ultimately miscarried?" Fuxi asked the clansmen beside him in confusion.

"Yes, young clan leader, although the Great Heavenly Venerate has established four seasons and twelve months, we don't know how to calculate the specific dates, which is why this situation has occurred!"

"Yes, although the four seasons and twelve months are clearly defined, we don't know how to keep track of time. What can we do?"

"..."

The group chattered amongst themselves, quickly explaining the situation. After a moment of contemplation, Fuxi said, "Didn't the Great Heavenly Venerate widely propagate the Way of the Eight Trigrams? You can also use the Eight Trigrams to make calculations, why not use it?"

One of them spoke up, saying, "Young clan leader, you may not know this, but the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable is of a high realm and holds a high position. The Eight Trigrams he transmits are even more profound and unfathomable. Unfortunately, we cannot cultivate, we have no cultivation, and we have no understanding of the Great Dao. We are helpless even though we are sitting on this treasure mountain."

Only then did Fuxi fully understand what was going on. But then again, when Donghua transmitted the Eight Trigrams Great Dao, he also taught the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams.

But back then, there were no mortals in the Primordial World; even the weakest among them possessed cultivation. Therefore, naturally, no method of divination using the Eight Trigrams, which only ordinary people could perform, was taught to them.

Most importantly, Donghua looks down on that little bit of merit, and has neither the time nor the energy to do it. What ordinary mortals need is not the way of the Eight Trigrams, but the method of the Eight Trigrams.

After parting ways with the others, Fuxi went to a mountaintop to meditate alone. His eyes were slightly closed, and the Five Elements and Yin-Yang principles he had comprehended emerged.

The Dao of the Golden Immortal is still very shallow, so there were no major unusual phenomena around Fuxi. However, it can be seen from these two basic Daos that Fuxi has a deep understanding of the Dao, which means that he has reached the pinnacle of this realm!

Before long, Fuxi started drawing on the ground, writing and drawing, but it was unclear what he was doing.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that what Fuxi had drawn was indeed a Bagua diagram, but it had form but no spirit, and no Daoist charm within it.

"In the Book of Changes transmitted by the Great Heavenly Venerate, the Qian trigram is the primary trigram, and there are also two other types with the Kun trigram as the primary trigram. However, both of these types of trigrams are very profound. Although they are nothing to cultivators, they are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Just as Fuxi was writing and drawing and muttering to himself, a figure appeared beside him. It was none other than Chongyang, who was Donghua in disguise.

Fuxi was immersed in his own world, focusing intently on studying the Eight Trigrams, and was completely unaware of Donghua's arrival, as if no one was around.

Ironically, Fuxi had never been exposed to the Eight Trigrams before this incident, and it was only after this event that he devoted himself to studying them.

However, as Fuxi studied the universe, he instantly entered an extraordinary world, a realm where the Eight Trigrams evolved into all things.

Fuxi murmured, "Qiankun and Kun represent Heaven and Earth, and in the Eight Trigrams, they also Yin-Yang. Qian is pure Yang, and Kun is pure Yin. The two encompass and transform into each other."

"When Yin is pure, Yang arises; when Yang is pure, Yin arises. We are intertwined, existing forever as a 'whole'."

"Wonderful, wonderful, truly wonderful!" After studying it for a while, Fuxi couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration. He never imagined that there was such a wondrous Dao in the world.

There are three thousand great paths in the Primordial Wilderness, none of them superior or inferior. It is only because of humans that the paths are Primordial Wilderness. Therefore, no one dares to say that their own path is the strongest in the primordial Primordial Wilderness, nor can anyone definitively say which path is the strongest.

But when it comes to the most applicable Dao in the Primordial Wilderness, the first thing that comes to mind is Yin Yang and Five Elements, the Four Symbols, Four Symbols Trigrams.

These four great paths are related to all aspects of people's cultivation and life, from Quasi-Saint and Saint to ordinary people and those practicing Qi cultivation.

When Fuxi came to his senses, he realized that a Daoist was standing next to him. He quickly stood up and bowed, because he knew that anyone who could appear beside him so silently must be a master.

After all, how could someone who came to your side through the protection of others be simple?

Although Fuxi didn't ask many questions and wasn't interested in his own background, he knew that he had many people protecting him, and Tian Lu, whom he had unintentionally subdued, was one of them.

As for the others, it was only when he broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm that he suddenly traveled through the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and only then did he realize that there were several powerful figures around Qishan.

However, these people did nothing, simply guarding Qishan and protecting themselves. Fuxi didn't ask any further questions; he would find out when the time was right. Right now, he was only interested in the human race and the Dao.

"Greetings, senior!"

Donghua nodded, then followed Fuxi's example and sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, gesturing for Fuxi to sit down as well.

Then Donghua took out the Big Red Robe spiritual tea and a complete tea set, and began to brew the tea.

Fuxi remained calm and composed, quietly watching Donghua brew tea without uttering a single unnecessary word. The two seemed more like longtime friends than strangers.

After Donghua finished brewing the tea, he poured a cup for Fuxi.

"Excellent tea, truly excellent tea!" Fuxi exclaimed after taking a sip, then took another sip until he finished the entire cup.

"Senior, this tea is truly a masterpiece of the three arts: the tea itself, the craftsmanship, and the philosophy."

Upon hearing this, Donghua laughed heartily. Since the advent of Big Red Robe, no one had ever described it in this way before. Hearing Fuxi's words today truly delighted him.

"Good, good, good. With your three unique skills, you deserve to be called a fellow Daoist by me, Chongyang. You don't need to call me senior; just call me Fellow Chongyang." Donghua added another cup of spiritual tea to Fuxi's cup and said softly.

Fuxi accepted the teacup with both hands and said, "Since you say so, senior, I will respectfully comply. Fuxi greets fellow Daoist!"

Donghua nodded and said, "This tea is called Big Red Robe, but from today onwards, it will have another name: the Three Wonders Tea."

"If that's the case, then it is Fuxi's destiny and good fortune to be able to name this spiritual tea," Fuxi said quickly.

Donghua smiled but didn't say much about it. Instead, he looked at the Bagua diagram that Fuxi had drawn earlier and asked, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, are you interested in the Bagua?"

Fuxi nodded and looked at the Bagua diagram, saying, "Fuxi's cultivation is shallow, and he cannot yet comprehend the Eight Trigrams Great Dao. However, based on the Book of Changes written by the Great Heavenly Venerate, he has grasped a little bit of its essence and deeply feels its power. It will surely bring blessings to all people under heaven. The Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable's merits are immeasurable!"

Donghua nodded and said, "The Eight Trigrams Great Dao begins with the Wuji of Wuji, evolving into Yin-Yang, the Three Talents, the Four Symbols, the Five Elements, the Six Harmonies, and the Seven Stars, until the Eight Trigrams evolve into all things and all paths."

"You are currently only at the Golden Immortal Realm. I suggest that in addition to your main cultivation path, you should also cultivate the Eight Trigrams Great Dao. This will benefit both you and the human race."

Upon hearing this, Fuxi bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Fuxi Chongyang. I will never forget it!"

Donghua pointed his finger, and two spiritual treasures appeared before Fuxi. He then said, "We are destined to meet. I give you these two spiritual treasures. You can refine them directly, and you must study them carefully in the future."

Donghua gave Fuxi the Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure River Diagram and Luo Book. These treasures originally belonged to Di Jun, but later fell into Taiyi's hands. Finally, Fuxi snatched them from Bai Ze, so now Fuxi is the owner of these two treasures.

Before his reincarnation, Fuxi left the River Diagram and Luo Book with Donghua, so that Donghua could help him achieve enlightenment at the right time.

Now is the perfect time!

The moment Fuxi came into contact with the spiritual treasure, the River Diagram and Luo Book entered Fuxi's Niwan Palace, instantly recognizing him as its master.

"Fellow Daoist Chongyang, these spiritual treasures are far too precious. Fuxi, am unworthy to enjoy them. Please take them back!" Upon learning that these were two top-tier spiritual treasures, Fuxi could no longer sit still.

Donghua smiled and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's decided then. These two spiritual treasures are destined for you. You can use them to comprehend the Eight Trigrams Great Dao. Whether you can gain any insight depends on your ability!"

Seeing that Donghua had made his decision, Fuxi said nothing more and could only accept it. More and more outrageous things were happening to him, so he didn't care about the two spiritual treasures Donghua gave him.

The two then drank tea and discussed philosophy, not the path of cultivation, but rather some philosophical principles and ways of dealing with people.

On an unnamed hilltop, the laughter of the two could be heard from time to time, making them seem nothing like strangers who had just met.

"Senior Sister, you don't need to be so worried. I just arrived at the Huaxu Tribe and you came right away. Are you afraid that something might happen to Fellow Daoist Fuxi?"

After Donghua's last conversation with Fuxi, he built a hut on that unnamed hill and lived there. During this time, Fuxi often came here, and the two talked about everything under the sun. A few days later, Nuwa arrived at the hill.

Nuwa ignored Donghua's teasing and instead asked, "Did you successfully pave the way? Have you broken through to the Fourth Heaven Realm?"

Nuwa cannot see through Donghua's realm at all. If Donghua were still at the Third Heaven Realm, she would definitely be able to sense it.

But now, when she looks at Donghua, it's as if she's looking at the Dao itself, as if Donghua is the Great Dao, yet sometimes he just seems like an ordinary mortal.

She had only ever seen this kind of thing with her master Hongjun, and Donghua was the second person to do so.

The main reason is that Nuwa herself is about to face the task of clearing the way, so she is very concerned about whether Donghua will succeed.

P. S.: Sorry for not updating yesterday, I almost died from drinking.
