Haotian's Tribulation, Laozi Comes to Mount Shouyang
Amidst endless Chaos, Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a smile flashing across his face.
"You're actually wary of me? Who cares about your Primordial Violet Qi..."
He muttered to himself, realizing that Hongjun had predicted his prediction.
With a thought, Ling Xiao took out the Primordial Cauldron. The ancient and heavy cauldron body shimmered with a dark light, and inside the cauldron were the phantoms of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, with three strands of Primordial Violet Qi lying horizontally within.
"The Origin of the Heavenly Dao..."
"The Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, Primordial Violet Qi in total. Does the Primordial Violet Qi rewarded by the system count towards that?"
Ling Xiao suddenly thought of this question, then raised his hand and pointed, causing the Primordial Cauldron to rotate, rippling with boundless waves.
Only after becoming a saint did he discover that the three thousand great worlds illusory within the Primordial Cauldron were not merely illusory; they seemed to be able to be completed and evolve into the true Hongmeng.
Now that the Primordial Violet Qi and the Primordial Cauldron have merged together, it's unknown what kind of chemical reaction will occur.
Ling Xiao thought to himself, and while cultivating, he also used his clones to reincarnate and cultivate in the Reincarnation rebirth.
His cultivation level is not far from the third level of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
Moreover, he now possesses four complete laws: the Law of Fire, the Law of Yang, Time, and Space.
In addition, the Law of World, the Law of Five Elements, the Law of Chaos, the Law of Devouring, and other top-level laws have also made great progress. Once these top-level laws are broken through, they will greatly enhance his combat power.
Inside the Purple Heaven Palace, Haotian and Yaochi approached Hongjun and respectfully kowtowed, saying, "Master, what are your orders?"
Hongjun looked at the two boys and said calmly, "Haotian and Yaochi, you have been with me for countless years. You have worked hard, if not merits. Now, I have a great opportunity to bestow upon you!"
Haotian and Yaochi said with delight, "Thank you Sage, Your Majesty!"
Hongjun sighed softly, then said, "You have followed me for so long, yet you have made no progress."
"This time, you must enter the Primordial World to be reborn Human Race, undergo countless tribulations, and when you emerge from these tribulations, your merits will be complete. Only then can you enjoy the Great Dao of Infinity and jointly rule the world!"
Upon hearing this, Haotian and Yaochi were both surprised and delighted. They were surprised by the "billions of calamities" mentioned by the Dao Ancestor, which was rather frightening.
What they were happy about was that after undergoing the tribulation, they would be able to enjoy the Great Dao of Infinity and rule over heaven and earth. They had never dared to dream of such benefits before, after all, they were just gatekeepers.
Thinking of this, they knelt down, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces, and said, "Haotian, Yaochi, thank you for your grace Sage Lord!"
Hongjun nodded slightly, raised his hand and waved, and Haotian and Yaochi turned into two streams of light and disappeared from the Purple Heaven Palace.
In the Primordial World, after Jieyin and Zhunti saints, a brief period of peace ensued. The Wu and Demon and Yao races continued their tug-of-war in the void, all talk and no action.
Time flies, and the Three Pure Ones Dojo on Mount Yujing.
The Taiji Diagram above Laozi's head exuded a vast and Chaos aura. A long time had passed since he returned from the Purple Heaven Palace.
He had sensed that his path to sainthood lay with the Human Race, but he had no clue how to proceed, as the new Primordial Violet Qi had not yet provided any guidance.
The worst off were Yuanshi and Tongtian, who had no clue whatsoever from beginning to end.
The Primordial Violet Qi remained motionless, as if it were dead.
This greatly worried the two brothers, who looked utterly distressed.
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!" Yuanshi cried out, anxious and impatient. He was waiting to get revenge after becoming a saint, but he still had no clue. He would be happy to at least get some hints!
"Second brother, keep your mind focused on the Dao. Becoming a saint cannot be rushed. When the time is right, it will naturally come to fruition."
"I have already sensed the hint, and I suppose you are not far from becoming a saint," Laozi Tzu said calmly.
He felt that his path was right in front of him, as if he could touch it, yet separated by a membrane, seemingly so close yet so far.
He knew the opportunity hadn't arrived yet, and there was no point in rushing it. At least he had something to look forward to, which was much better than Yuanshi Tongtian, who knew nothing.
"I hope so," Yuanshi said calmly, his expression not very pleasant.
Seeing this, Laozi chuckled, stood up, and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
As soon as he finished speaking, he left the cave, concealed his aura, transformed into an old man, and rode on auspicious clouds, traveling through the Primordial World. Unknowingly, he arrived at Mount Shouyang, where he saw:
White cranes accompany the clouds to roost under the old cypress, while blue phoenixes and red dragons sing towards the sun.
The earth is set with famous mountains that dominate the universe, and the heavens open up a fairyland that shines through the void.
The sacred power left behind by Nuwa can still be faintly felt on the mountain.
At that moment, Laozi's heart stirred, and the long-dormant Primordial Violet Qi stirred, seemingly with a sense of pleasure.
"You finally moved..."
Laozi Tzu muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a complex expression.
Afterwards, Laozi descended from the clouds and landed on Mount Shouyang. He wandered around for a long time without finding anything, so he leaned on his Flat Staff and, like an old man in his seventies, slowly walked down the mountain to the Human Race.
Laozi changed his appearance and came to the Human Race without causing a commotion. He was like a traveler who was sightseeing, passing through one tribe after another.
On this day, he came to a tribe and happened to meet a group of hunters returning from an outing. They were carrying a full load of prey and were laughing and joking as they walked toward him.
The young man at the head of the group immediately caught Laozi's attention. He was handsome, with a tall and straight figure, and exuded a purple Daoist aura. He possessed an inexplicable power and was of inestimable nobility.
"This is..." Laozi was surprised, and his eyes revealed a look of amazement.
"I never imagined that there would be such a genius among the Human Race!"
Laozi Tzu, with his keen insight, immediately recognized that this young man possessed extraordinary talent, even surpassing some exceptionally gifted individuals.
"What a promising talent..."
Laozi nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction on his face, though it was unclear what he was satisfied with.
With this in mind, Laozi, leaning on his Flat Staff, swayed and walked up.
"Hey kid, what's your name?"
He stared at the young man with purple aura around him and asked, his admiration undisguised.
The boy paused for a moment, then pointed to his own nose and said, "Are you asking me?"
"His name is Zi Qi Dong Lai!" Before he could answer, the hunting boy beside him said with a laugh.
"Get lost!" The boy, both ashamed and angry, shoved his companion, who flew away like a cannonball, dropping the prey he was carrying on his shoulder.
This shows how much force was involved in that casual push.
"What a fine name! Auspicious purple clouds from the east, a natural nobility!" Laozi was even more satisfied and couldn't help but praise him. In any case, he approved of it and felt that the boy should be called this name.
"What do you want?" the Laozi with an annoyance, sensing that the old man's smile was malicious, and that he had shifty eyes and a sneaky look.
"I see you have exceptional talent and are excellent candidates for cultivation. Would you be willing to become my disciple and follow in my footsteps?"
Laozi smiled and said, at this moment the secrets of heaven in his heart became clearer and clearer.
Having understood most of the doubts in his heart, the opportunity to become a saint has already appeared.
