Chapter 183 Laozi's transformation into a thief

Kunlun Mountains.

After experiencing the quarrel between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian again, Laozi felt exhausted. Although he did not fight a big battle, he felt more tired than fighting one battle after another.

It was because the two of them kept talking about the issue of accepting disciples, and they had been arguing about it for tens of thousands of years.

Tongtian believed that accepting disciples should be done by opening the door wide and accepting all living beings in the prehistoric world, following the example of the Taoist ancestor and spreading the great Dao throughout the prehistoric world.

Yuanshi Tianzun thought that this was enough for preaching, but if he wanted to accept disciples, he still had to select them carefully, first looking at their background and then their qualifications. Those who were wearing fur and armor and were born from eggs were not allowed to enter Kunlun Mountain and could only listen to the teachings outside the mountain.

For this reason, after the Three Pure Ones announced that they would accept disciples, Yuanshi Tianzun even set up twelve major formations all over Kunlun Mountain, and began testing at the foot of the mountain. If one failed in any aspect, the disciple would be kicked out immediately.

But Tongtian felt that this was too harsh, so he simply opened a passage. Anyone who was willing to go up to Kunlun Mountain through this passage could become his disciple.

Yuanshi Tianzun had just accepted twelve disciples, but Tongtian already had thousands of disciples under his command, even approaching ten thousand.

Conflicts are likely to occur in places with many people, not to mention that it is extremely easy for fights to break out between the two of them. Even their disciples dislike each other and will fight each other at the slightest disagreement.

But the problem is that all the disciples accepted by Yuanshi Tianzun are carriers of the Tao and can fully practice the Yuqing Immortal Law he created. In other words, these disciples have low cultivation bases and their foundations can be transformed in time.

This was also done intentionally by Yuanshi Tianzun. If his cultivation was too high and his foundation was set, how could he practice his Yuqing Dafa?
But Tongtian accepted everyone, regardless of whether they were vegetarian or not. No matter how high or low their cultivation level was, as long as they were willing to join him, they could become his disciples. He was also open-minded about whether or not one practiced his Shangqing Immortal Technique, and did not make too many demands. This led to several Daluo Jinxians joining Tongtian's sect just to listen to the voice of the Tao.

One side had a low level of cultivation, while the other side had a high level of cultivation as high as the Golden Immortal. Naturally, Yuanshi Tianzun's side was defeated in the fight between the two sides. If it weren't for Yuanshi Tianzun, these twelve people would have been beaten to death long ago.

Yuanshi Tianzun was very concerned about his reputation, so how could he tolerate such humiliation? Naturally, he asked Tongtian to immediately disband these insignificant people and only leave one or two with excellent qualifications.

But Tongtian flatly rejected this idea and even accepted dozens of disciples. The conflict between the two became more and more intense. As their senior brother and eldest brother, Laozi naturally had to mediate from time to time, which really exhausted him.

"Forget it, I might as well go out and travel. I spend my days and nights trying to comprehend the primordial purple energy, but someone else took away my first move. It's really embarrassing for me."

When Laozi saw that the atmosphere between Yuqing Palace and Shangqing Palace began to become solemn again, he felt more and more headache. Then he left a letter and turned into a stream of light and left Kunlun Mountain.

Yuqing Palace.

Seeing Laozi leaving, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said, "Brother, why are you leaving now? Tongtian hasn't been properly disciplined yet. If he continues like this, his luck will sooner or later be ruined by these burdens."

The Three Pure Ones have been living together day and night since they transformed into human form, and they have a deep relationship. Although there are some conflicts between him and Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun really doesn't have many bad intentions. He forces Tongtian to dismiss his disciples for his future.

Luck is extremely important. If you have luck, you will win every battle and enjoy eternal glory. If your luck is gone, even if you are extremely brave, you will find yourself at a dead end, helpless, and feeling confused when you draw your sword and look around.

Although they have 10% of the merits of creating the world and can suppress the luck, no matter how much merit they have, it is not enough to destroy those disciples with shallow foundations.

It was because he thought he was doing it for Tongtian's sake that Yuanshi Tianzun repeatedly went to Shangqing Palace and asked Tongtian to dismiss his disciples.

"Forget it, big brother, if you don't care, I'll take care of it!"

Yuanshi Tianzun made up his mind and immediately headed towards Shangqing Palace again.

Watching a ray of light leave the Yuqing Palace, a pair of slightly cunning eyes flashed slightly in the dark, and immediately drilled into the ground, but he wanted to inform his brothers and sisters.

"Hehe, Uncle Yuanshi has left Yuqing Palace. I want to see how you little bastards can resist! What are you talking about the Twelve Yuqing Immortals? I will turn you into dead immortals now!"

Laozi turned into a ray of fairy light and floated aimlessly above the wilderness. He wanted to go out and travel, but he didn't know where to go.

His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal. The entire prehistoric world no longer held any secrets for him. No matter how desperate or dangerous it was, it was useless. He couldn't help but sigh, "I don't even know where to go. When will my chance come?"

In addition to avoiding the quarrel between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian, Laozi had another purpose in mind when he went out, which was to find an opportunity to become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Although he always had an urge to take the last step when he was practicing in Kunlun Mountain, he could not judge whether this urge came from his own heart or was caused by external factors.

If he takes a wrong step, there will be no possibility of achievement, and the entire prehistoric world will forget his existence, because everything he has will turn to ashes, the past, present and future will completely disappear, and there will be no record of him in the history of the prehistoric world.

All living beings will naturally forget that there was once a great god named Taiqing Daode Tianzun.

For tens of thousands of years, Laozi casually walked around the corners of the prehistoric world, sometimes appearing in the East China Sea, sometimes in the West; sometimes watching the eruption of the Eternal Volcano, or watching the fall of the world, but his heart was never touched. "Opportunities are really hard to find."

I said calmly.

Until he set foot on Mount Buzhou and saw a strange race.

This race is born with an innate Taoist body. Although their magic power is weak and their bodies are not strong, they have extraordinary potential and adaptability. They can adapt to various environments and can survive tenaciously no matter where they are.

But if these were the only advantages, they would not mean much to Laozi. After all, there were many races in the ancient world with great potential and adaptability. Apart from the fact that these races were born with innate Taoist bodies, there was actually nothing special about them.

"Is this the human race created by those two? Why are they so weak?"

Laozi stood on the clouds, quietly watching the survival of this human race on Mount Buzhou, feeling a little strange in his heart.

He had long known that the human race was created by Hengming and Nuwa themselves, and was the eternal protagonist of the prehistoric world. Although they were weak now, their fate was already determined. If nothing unexpected happened, the human race would be the race that would rule the prehistoric world in the future.

But after looking here for a thousand years, he found that these human beings were not outstanding in anything, whether it was their soul, body, magic power, or understanding, they were all mediocre. Only their wisdom was a little remarkable.

Laozi was curious, and then he transformed himself into a white-haired old man and appeared in a corner of this human race.

The nearby humans saw an old man trembling out of the woods and were shocked. A strong man immediately stepped forward, supported the old man, and asked softly: "Old man, this place is close to the edge of the tribe. There are always wild beasts here. It is very dangerous. This is not a place for you to come. I don’t know where you live. Can we take you home?"

Several people nearby also nodded repeatedly, obviously they were kind people.

But it's true, the reason these humans were able to survive on the dangerous Buzhou Mountain was because of their unity, otherwise they would have been completely swallowed up by these endless beasts.

The aura of Nuwa that protected them had completely dissipated ten thousand years ago. Without the intimidation of Nuwa's aura, the poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts had naturally been delighted by these delicious blood foods and could not wait to eat them all bite by bite.

If they still cannot unite under such a threat, it would be better for the entire clan to be wiped out.

The old man trembled and said, "I am an elder of the Jianghe tribe. The Jianghe tribe was devoured by a monster not long ago. I have nowhere to go. I heard that the Youjiao tribe is the birthplace of my Jianghe tribe, so I came here to seek refuge."

This old man was naturally the incarnation of Laozi, and the Jianghe tribe he mentioned was not fictional, but a real existence, and was indeed swallowed up by a monster not long ago.

These hunters were greatly alarmed, but it was not appropriate to leave him alone, so they quickly welcomed Laozi into the tribe.

After tens of thousands of years of development, the human tribes on Mount Buzhou were naturally not just the Youjiao clan. Instead, with the Youjiao clan as the source, dozens of human tribes were gradually divided out. Each of the divided tribes had nearly one million human beings. The Youjiao clan, as the source of all the tribes, had tens of millions of human beings in it.

But these human beings have indeed been completely transformed into mortal bodies as Suiren said, and they must go through cultivation before they can achieve immortality.

Upon hearing that the Jianghe tribe was actually swallowed by a monster, the entire Youjiao tribe was immediately shocked, and Nujiao, the tribe leader, even came out to greet Laozi.

After learning from Laozi that this monster had devoured not only the Jianghe tribe, but also the Muye tribe, the Shouduo tribe and several other tribes, Nujiao also felt it was a very difficult situation.

"To be able to devour so many tribes, this monster must have reached the level of a Golden Immortal. It seems that I must take the initiative to attack! Otherwise, the Buzhou people will be wiped out sooner or later!"

As one of the original three thousand human ancestors, Nvjiao also recently raised her cultivation to the half-step Golden Immortal. However, a Golden Immortal is a Golden Immortal, and no matter how close a half-step Golden Immortal is to a Golden Immortal, it will be difficult for him to withstand even a finger of a Golden Immortal unless he has a precious treasure.

Other elders also tried to persuade Nvjiao to calm down, but Nvjiao had made up her mind. Before she left, she took with her another human ancestor who had founded the Youjiao tribe with her. So, there was only one human ancestor left to guard the entire Youjiao tribe.

I watched quietly from the side, feeling vaguely touched in my heart. It was not the courage of Nujiao to sacrifice herself for others, but the momentum of the human race being united as one.

He had seen many races, including the dragon, phoenix, unicorn, demon, witch and several other supreme races, and had never seen such an atmosphere among them. In addition, he had also seen some ordinary races.

But the atmosphere inside was slightly better except for those who were familiar with each other, the rest of the people treated each other almost like enemies, wishing that the other party would die so that they could take over. They completely lacked the courage that humans would have to die for others.

It would be fine if the clan leader was like this, after all, they are already connected with the race, and they will suffer together and prosper together. Naturally, they will not fear life or death, but ordinary members of the clan may not necessarily live and die with the race.

For example, Yuanshi Tianzun's mount Sibu Xiang was the son of the first Qilin. When the Qilin clan was implicated in the cause and effect of the dragon and phoenix calamity, the second Qilin clan leader immediately decided to abandon the Qilin clan and resolutely went to the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He was even willing to become Yuanshi Tianzun's mount in order to stay safe.

Compared with these humans, the Sibu Xiang can be said to be a real coward.
