Laozi Becomes a Sage, Dijiang's Confidence

"Could they really replace Heaven's Way and govern the Primordial World properly?"

A trace of doubt arose in Laozi's heart.

Just then, riding Azure Bull, he unknowingly arrived before a valley.

Clear chanting drifted out from within the valley.

Laozi looked closely and saw a group of poorly clothed, low-cultivation beings sitting in a circle, learning breathing techniques from a Daoist in green robes.

"The Human Clan?"

Laozi looked at those beings, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes.

These Human Clan members were simply too weak. In the crisis-ridden Primordial World, they were no different from ants.

Yet at this moment, they were earnestly studying the breathing techniques, their eyes shining with a desire to survive and a yearning for the Great Dao.

"That green-robed Daoist..."

Laozi's gaze sharpened as he recognized the Daoist teaching them cultivation methods. It was his third brother, Tongtian.

"Third Brother is actually teaching the Human Clan?"

Laozi's heart stirred. Rather than go forward and disturb them, he concealed himself and quietly observed from the side.

He watched the Human Clan gradually learn the skills needed for survival under Tongtian's guidance. He watched them multiply, establish tribes, and display resilience and unyielding determination in the face of hardship.

"The Human Clan... may be weak, but they possess limitless potential."

Laozi murmured to himself as inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Junior Sister Nuwa became a Sage through creating the Human Clan. They must surely carry immense Fortune!"

"Could my opportunity to attain the Dao also lie with the Human Clan?"

A brilliant light burst from Laozi's eyes. At last, he had grasped that elusive opportunity to become a Sage!
