Laozi's First Disciple: Xuandu Descends the Mountain / Taking the Self as the Seed, Xuandu Is Stunned!

Before the Human Emperor appeared, he had always felt this way!

Despair! Not a glimmer of hope!

"Who dares claim invincibility? Who dares say they'll never be defeated?!"

The youth soared into the sky!

Borrowing boundless power from across the ages!

"Self-Transformation and Freedom! Self-Transformation for All Ages!"

Even an ant could shake heaven and earth! It could even slay an Immortal King!

"This is it! This is the answer! I understand! I understand!!!"

Xuanyuan Shi felt as if he were that youth, soaring into the heavens, ready to face death without hesitation.

In an instant, he comprehended the profound meaning of the book!

The power of Self-Transformation and Freedom! Self-Transformation for All Ages!

"The Great Law of Self-Transformation and Freedom!!"

Laozi's First Disciple, Xuandu Descends the Mountain [Please Support with Flowers and Tips]

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, at Eight Sceneries Palace!

As the Daoist field of the Sage Laozi, it was not a place even the Demon Emperor Di Jun, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, dared to barge into.

"Xuandu, when will Grand Pure Sage emerge from seclusion?"

Di Jun looked at Great Master Xuandu, who was standing guard at the entrance, and felt somewhat impatient.

He was irritated by the Human Race, and even more so because a member of the Human Race had killed one of the Heavenly Court's Demon Gods. He hated them all the more for it.

If Xuandu hadn't been the sole disciple of Grand Pure Sage, he would have killed him with a slap long ago.

Why else would he stand here, wasting so much time with Xuandu, just to wait for a word from Grand Pure?

As long as Grand Pure gave his tacit approval, he would send his Demon Marshals straight to Shouyang Mountain to flay that Innate Human alive and tear his bones from his body!

Xuandu, too, had been surprised when Di Jun arrived.

The Demon and Wu Clans were fighting for supremacy in the Primordial World. Why would they suddenly seek out Grand Pure Sage?

But Di Jun had disdained speaking with him and simply waited for Grand Pure Sage to emerge from seclusion.

Just as the atmosphere grew awkward,

the door to the alchemy chamber where Grand Pure Sage refined pills finally swung open amid a rumbling sound!

In an instant, a rich fragrance of pills wafted out.

Xuandu felt refreshed and invigorated!

The bottleneck before the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm within him actually loosened a little!

He was the first disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the true eldest disciple, and had inherited the teachings of Grand Pure Sage!

If not for the limitations of his Human Race roots holding back his talent, reaching the Great Luo realm would have been easy for him by now.

"Grand Pure Sage!"

Di Jun felt little from the rich fragrance of pills. He simply nodded respectfully to the old man emerging from the alchemy chamber.

Even as the ruler of the Demon Clan, he dared not show disrespect to a Sage.

"Demon Emperor, what brings you to my Eight Sceneries Palace?" Grand Pure Sage asked calmly upon seeing Di Jun. Chaos obscured his face, making it impossible to read his expression.

"Grand Pure Sage, I have come to pay a visit to Eight Sceneries Palace over an important matter!"

Di Jun stated his purpose plainly. "A member of the Innate Human Race recently killed one of our clan's divine beings."

"That person is now living on Shouyang Mountain. I know that Grand Pure Sage established a great teaching among the Human Race, and that your dharma image is enshrined on Shouyang Mountain."

"I have come to inform Grand Pure Sage that I hope you will allow my Demon Clan's people to enter Shouyang Mountain, capture the criminal, and execute him!"

The meaning was quite simple.

For the Demon Clan, killing an Innate Human was as easy as raising a hand.

The problem was that Jiang Chen was on Shouyang Mountain.

It was a sacred land of the Human Race, as well as the place where Empress Nuwa and Grand Pure Laozi had attained sainthood and become forebears, through the Human Race's fortune and boundless merit.

To capture someone there without first giving notice would be to slight a Sage.

Sages were free of worldly desires, but their face was as weighty as Buzhou Mountain.

Of course, those two baldies in the West were an exception.

After hearing Di Jun explain what had happened, Grand Pure Sage did not respond immediately.

Instead, he was surprised!

"A member of the Human Race killed a divine being of the Demon Clan?"

Grand Pure Sage was astonished. How could that be possible?

He thought to himself:

When I established the Human Teachings, I passed down the Golden Elixir Path to the Human Race. Though it set them on the path of cultivation and let me gain merit from the Heavenly Dao and become a Saint, I also knew their foundations were weak.

Even my disciple Xuandu, an Innate Human who inherited the teachings of my Grand Pure lineage, has only reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

The Demon Clan's divine beings are the foundation of the Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Starry Heavens Great Array. They must be at least Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Could a member of the Human Race really have killed a Demon God?

Could Di Jun have come here just to make fun of him?

But on second thought, who in the Primordial Wilderness would dare make fun of a Sage?

Were they tired of living?

Grand Pure Sage was confused, and Xuandu was even more so.

He was an Innate Human himself and knew that his roots were far inferior to those of the Wu and Demon Clans.

Even among the innate beings, he was leagues behind the others.

It was only because Grand Pure Sage had taken him as a disciple that he had reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and had a chance of entering the Great Luo realm.

But the other members of the Human Race in the Primordial World?

Forget killing a Demon God. It would be hard enough for them to become immortals on the spot.

The Demon Clan was also constantly watching them, occasionally harvesting them for food.

Just staying alive was a feat. And now one of them had killed a Demon God?

"Demon Emperor, are you joking? When has the Human Race ever had the strength to kill a Demon God?"

Xuandu was suspicious. Relying on Grand Pure Sage's presence at his side, he steeled himself and stepped forward to ask.

"Hmph!" Seeing Xuandu dare to come out and question him, Di Jun snorted.

But he did not pressure Xuandu. Doing so in front of Grand Pure Sage would have been foolish.

Di Jun ignored Xuandu and continued speaking to Grand Pure Sage. "In the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, one of the stars representing the Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Stars has dimmed and cracked. How could that be false?"

Grand Pure Sage was still pondering how a member of the Human Race could have the strength to kill a Demon God.

Hearing Di Jun's firm words, he recalled that in this Primordial World, the Wu and Demon Clans had emerged in response to the Tribulation.

At the beginning of the Tribulation, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had warned them not to interfere carelessly in the affairs of the Wu and Demon Clans.

The World Tribulation had its own ordained course.

With that in mind, Grand Pure Sage wanted to find out what was happening with the Human Race. It concerned the foundations of his teachings and the source of his attainment of Dao, so he replied, "I'll first send my disciple down to the mortal world. If the Human Race truly has the power to slay a Demon God, we can decide what to do then."

His words also carried another implication.

If the Human Race possessed the power to slay a Demon God, that would mean the Golden Elixir Path he had passed down was clearly flawed.

This concerned the very foundation of his teachings, and could not be taken lightly.

So he could not let the Demon Emperor act rashly, either.

They would first investigate the matter, then decide what to do.

Though Di Jun was annoyed by Grand Pure Sage's delay, he could hardly reject a Sage's decision outright.

He could only grit his teeth and agree.

At last, Grand Pure Sage calmly said to Xuandu, "Disciple, go down to the mortal world and investigate the state of the Human Race. Find out whether they have the strength to kill members of the Demon Clan..."

"Yes, Master!" Xuandu accepted the command, glanced at Di Jun, and descended to the mortal world.

As for Di Jun, Grand Pure Sage kept him there for tea.

He couldn't let an enraged Quasi-Saint attack the foundations of his Human Teachings.
