Laozi Establishes a Religion, Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir

After he had also dug out the final spirit vein from deep underground, Mount Fangzhang was essentially ruined.

Before long, the innate grand array that shrouded this island would also collapse due to the exhaustion of spiritual energy.

Of course, Minghe did not care about this, since he himself was the one who had caused it.

After plundering the last underground spirit vein as well, this island truly became an empty island.

Minghe felt no reluctance; with a flicker of his form, he transformed into a streak of evasion light and departed from the island.

After leaving Mount Fangzhang, Minghe did not wander aimlessly but instead headed straight back to his lair, the Netherworld Blood Sea.

The gains from this trip were far too great.

Especially encountering the Hollow Willow Tree, obtaining this spiritual root, and inheriting Yang Mei's vast experience in Dao Proving Through Laws.

This made Minghe's future path of proving the Dao much clearer, so there was no need to wander outside any longer.

After all, Minghe had already obtained what he sought; the most important thing now was to return to his own Dao field and cultivate in seclusion.

When he remained silent, he was unknown; when he made his move, he would astonish the world!

When he eventually proved the Dao through laws, he would surely shake heaven and earth!

Minghe's flying speed was very fast, because this time he had comprehended another law: the Space Law.

Just like Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch of Space among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who was also called the Ancestral Witch of Speed.

The Space Law greatly enhanced speed.

With this flight, Minghe actually returned to the Blood Sea in only a few hundred years.

After returning to the Blood Sea, Minghe went into seclusion once again, meditating and cultivating.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and suddenly another tens of thousands of years had gone by.

During these tens of thousands of years, Minghe had been cultivating in seclusion within the Blood Sea, contemplating the mysteries of Dao Proving Through Laws.

Ever since returning from Mount Fangzhang, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming deeper and more terrifying.

Although his realm was still at the early stage of Golden Immortal of the Origin, he gave the impression that even a late-stage Golden Immortal of the Origin—corresponding to the late-stage Quasi-Saint realm of Severing the Three Corpses—might not be his match.

This feeling was not baseless but real, because Minghe had already grasped the secret of Dao Proving Through Laws and understood the method to achieve it.

And he had officially begun cultivating Dao Proving Through Laws, which granted him this kind of power.

By studying Yang Mei's experience in Dao Proving Through Laws, Minghe had come to know that proving the Dao through laws was not simply about comprehending laws.

Rather, it also required integrating the laws into oneself, transforming oneself, turning both one's body and Primordial Spirit into a law-body and law-spirit.

When cultivated to the extreme, one would become the embodiment of the law, the embodiment of the Dao.

Replacing the will of the law itself with one's own will and intent.

Therefore, during these tens of thousands of years, Minghe had been constantly tempering his flesh and Primordial Spirit with various laws.

Allowing his flesh and Primordial Spirit to accommodate these laws, absorb them, and master them.

Naturally, Minghe's flesh and Primordial Spirit had become far stronger as a result.

Although his realm had not advanced, his strength had increased by at least tenfold compared to before.

Moreover, as he continued to comprehend laws and integrate them into himself, his flesh and Primordial Spirit would keep growing stronger.

Growing stronger and stronger, until his flesh and Primordial Spirit reached their limit and could no longer accommodate more.

That would be the point when Minghe had cultivated Dao Proving Through Laws to its extreme.

At that time, Minghe could truly begin to prove the Dao through laws. Once he succeeded, he would become the embodiment of those laws, and every move he made would be a manifestation of the law.

A manifestation of the Dao!

However, Minghe's Dao Proving Through Laws was still very different from Yang Mei's.

Yang Mei's Dao Proving Through Laws involved only one law: the Space Law. His body and Primordial Spirit would not accommodate any other laws.

But Minghe was different. Minghe had long understood the principle that the Three Thousand Great Daos all lead to the same destination.

Therefore, Minghe accepted all kinds of laws without exception, integrating them into his body and Primordial Spirit.

Of course, Minghe's main cultivation remained the Law of Slaughter, and he intended to prove the Dao through the Law of Slaughter.

Thus, the dominant law integrated into Minghe's body was still the Law of Slaughter.

The other various laws served as nourishment for the Law of Slaughter.

He used the other laws to allow the Law of Slaughter to absorb, fuse, and strengthen itself.

And under the envelopment of these various laws, the Law of Slaughter could also be better tempered.

This was the difference between Minghe's Dao Proving Through Laws and Yang Mei's.

When Minghe cultivated Dao Proving Through Laws to its extreme, that would be the moment when his Law of Slaughter absorbed all the other laws.

At that time, Minghe believed his Law of Slaughter would be incomparably powerful!

It would definitely surpass a single-law Dao Proving like Yang Mei's.

There were so many laws in this world; if one cultivated only one and ignored the rest, that would truly be a waste.

That day, Minghe was still in seclusion cultivating when suddenly, the system's notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding, detected that Laozi has realized the opportunity to become a saint and is about to establish the Human Religion to attain enlightenment. Host may make the following choices."

"Choice One: Prevent Laozi from establishing the Human Religion. Reward: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones."

"Choice Two: Ignore this matter. Reward: One Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir."

Hearing the system's prompt, Minghe opened his eyes, a flash of light passing through them.

Minghe let out a long breath, raised his head, and seemed to see through the palace to the sky outside.

"Is the era of saints truly about to arrive?" Minghe murmured to himself.

He understood very well what Laozi establishing the Human Religion meant—it meant that the remaining Five Saints would all attain enlightenment as well.

Within this single day, the Five Saints would emerge together, and adding Nuwa, that made Six Saints.

Back when sermons were given at Zixiao Palace, Hongjun had determined six saints, and now all would take their places.

This was the arrival of a brand-new great era!

The Six Saints emerged together.

All other great powers would be overshadowed and dimmed in comparison.

And the Witch-Demon Calamity would also accelerate rapidly with the emergence of the Six Saints.

What was meant to come had finally come.

Minghe sighed, yet in his heart, he made his choice without hesitation: "System, I choose two."

Preventing Laozi from establishing his religion was impossible.

Although his own strength was enough to stop Laozi, Minghe could not block the will of heaven!

Heaven's will was like a blade, cutting down all who defied it!

Minghe did not yet have the ability to defy heaven, so it was better to go along with it.

If Laozi wanted to establish a religion, then let him.

As for Laozi's religion siphoning off the Destiny of the Human Race—with his current strength, such a trivial matter was beyond his control, was it not?

As Minghe made his choice, the reward was soon delivered.

One Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. This Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir could be called Laozi's masterpiece.
