Chapter 672: The Heavenly Emperor Creates the Law

Kunlun Mountain, a cave dwelling where the spiritual energy is extremely dense and the Laws of Heaven and Earth are abundant.

After the Sanqing escaped the gluttonous mouth, in order to thank Houtu, Xuanzang and his party invited them to their residence.

At this time, the Sanqing had not yet separated, so they naturally cultivated together, sharing what they had with one another.

Along the way, the Sanqing also explained why they were hunted by the Taotie and fell into such a dangerous situation.

"Third Brother also had good intentions, but it is a pity that the Heavenly Dao cycles and Karma repeats. That is why such a situation occurred? If the Houtu Zu Wu had not taken action, I fear this tribulation would have been difficult to resolve," Taiqing said.

"Hmph, Eldest Brother. We are, after all, descendants of Pangu. If that Taotie pushed us too far, we could at least use our trump card and fight it to the death."

Tongtian said, looking young and vigorous.

"Don't say any more, Third Brother," Yuanshi replied with a roll of his eyes.

Summoning the Pangu Primordial Spirit Dharma Image is not that simple; it is a bloodline inheritance divine ability, and they had never used it before.

Moreover, the aftereffects after using it are immense, and this Kunlun Mountain is fraught with crises.

Would you believe it, Tongtian just casually picked up a few eggs, and they turned out to be the offspring of the Hegemon Taotie.

Who knows what it will be next time?

If they continue to calculate like this, fighting with their trump card every time, they will be exhausted sooner or later.

"Hehe, if I had known, I wouldn't have taken action," Houtu said half-jokingly.

"The Ancestral Mo Nv is joking," Taiqing said, a look of embarrassment appearing on his face.

Taiqing then turned his gaze to Xuanzang; there was no help for it, as Xuanzang was the only one present whose form and Skin were on par with his own.

Although Taiqing had the appearance of a crane-haired youth, his features were extremely handsome; however, this beauty was not merely about looks, but more importantly, his temperament—that temperament from the inside out, entirely natural, without a single flaw.

Of course, the appearances of Yuanshi and Tongtian were not bad either; both possessed handsome countenances.

Unlike the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were each strange in shape—though, of course, that excludes their tails!

"Could this fellow Daoist Xuanzang also be an Ancestral Mo Nv?"

Taiqing asked, for he could not perceive Xuanzang's aura, nor could he fathom his depth.

"I am not, fellow Daoist Taiqing."

Xuanzang smiled, that smile warm as jade and like the sound of fine rain moistening things, giving people a favorable impression.

On the side, Wang Wu saw so many beautiful men and became completely infatuated, almost drooling.

It was a pity that these were men she could not obtain.

"Xuanzang is a guest of our Ancestral Witches, not of the Ancestral Mo Nv lineage," Houtu said.

"I wonder at which immortal mountain fellow Daoist Xuanzang cultivates?" Yuanshi asked.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzang said casually: "I am a banished immortal from the heavens, a god at the peak of the Great Dao! Walking the world, traveling the Great Thousand World, cultivating my heart and conduct in the red dust."

After he spoke, although they did not understand what Xuanzang meant, they still felt it sounded profound.

The Sanqing only felt a formless wind blowing toward them, difficult to look at directly.

"666," Wang Wu raised her thumb, giving Xuanzang a like in her heart.

Houtu also looked at Xuanzang in surprise; she had not expected Xuanzang to be able to say such things.

"Banished immortal from the heavens, god at the peak of the Great Dao."

Taiqing's eyes brightened, as if he had realized something.

Yuanshi's mind was shocked, and he looked at Qing'er and asked:

"I wonder at which immortal mountain this fellow Daoist cultivates?"

Qing'er had no expression on her face and said coldly:

"Why must one be on a mountain to cultivate? The sword is in my hand; wherever I am, I can cultivate."

For some reason, Yuanshi felt offended.

Tongtian's expression was strange; he was also a Sword Cultivator and could sense the Sword Intent and Sword Dao Laws on Qing'er.

He had thought that he was the only one in this world cultivating the Sword Dao, but he had not expected to meet another one today, and one who appeared to have Sword Dao cultivation not below his own.

Yuanshi stopped asking, seemingly pondering something.

Wang Wu couldn't help but say: "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, why don't you ask us at which immortal mountain we cultivate?"

Although Anlan, Shi Hao, and the Demon Lord did not speak, Wang Wu had already asked for them.

Yuanshi was an honest man and said directly:

"Your cultivation is too low; asking is of no use."

"Damn..." Wang Wu.

"..." Anlan, this is too realistic.

"..." The Demon Lord.

"Big Brother Yuanshi, is it really okay for you to say that?" Shi Hao asked politely.

"Do not call me Big Brother. Looking at your bone age, you are not even a hundred years old; I am old enough to be your ancestor," Yuanshi said.

He had no malice; he just instinctively felt it was against the rules, which is why he corrected it.

"Sister Houtu is the same generation as you; why can I call her Sister Houtu but not call you Brother?" Shi Hao said.

"If you can't, you can't," Yuanshi said expressionlessly.

"Brother Yuanshi, you won't have any friends if you are like this; everything must be based on reason," Shi Hao said.

"..." Yuanshi was silent.

He was truly defeated by this little brat; how could he have so many questions?

Xuanzang also chuckled secretly; this Xiao Shi was really good at taking advantage.

Calling an Ancestral Mo Nv 'Sister' and the Sanqing 'Brother'—this Karma was truly too great; I fear that even if the Weirdness Ancestor came, he would have to kowtow a few times.

"Yuanshi, a title is merely a form of address. Why bicker with this little friend Shi? You should show the magnanimity of an elder," Taiqing said.

"Hmm." Yuanshi did not refute, but simply nodded.

"Thank you, Brother Taiqing," Shi Hao said with a smile.

A gentle smile appeared on Taiqing's handsome face; the feeling was like a spring breeze blowing across a willow-lined shore, soothing the heart, as if the entire world had become peaceful in an instant.

Even a mischievous child like Xiao Shi, upon seeing Taiqing with such a temperament, inexplicably blushed a little.

"Damn it, why am I blushing?" Shi Hao roared in his heart; this was completely spontaneous and uncontrollable.

"Shi Laoliu, what the hell are you blushing for?"

Anlan noticed something was wrong and spoke immediately.

"An Lao Liu, I'm not blushing; it's just that the spiritual energy in this cave dwelling is so fragrant that I'm a bit intoxicated," Shi Hao said.

"Intoxicated by spiritual energy?" Wang Wu was stunned.

Is there really anyone who can get intoxicated by spiritual energy?

This was obviously impossible; it was just an excuse.

Chat Group.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "No way, Shi Laoliu, you're actually blushing at the legendary Ancestor Taiqing. You haven't gone bad, have you? What on earth is inside a child's head?"

Through the Chat Group livestream, Ye Fan and the group members saw everything in the Sanqing cave dwelling.

Shi Laoliu's mysterious blush was clearly not right.

This once made Ye Fan feel a chill all over; could it be that Shi Laoliu has some special hobbies?

This shouldn't be, right? This is Huang Tiandi!

But thinking about how Xiao Shi has drifted further and further away from that Huang Tiandi who ruled through the ages and suppressed everything since entering the Chat Group, the possibility of him being led astray is not zero.

Besides, there are so many "old drivers" in the group, with all sorts of different styles.

Ye Fan spoke with his conscience, admitting that this Taiqing in the Honghuang is indeed handsome, not the image of an old man from his past impressions.

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Shi Laoliu, you wouldn't have turned gay, would you?"

Kyushu's Number One Golden Core: "My god, your imaginations are way too wild."

Demon Queen: "It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Ye Laoliu, stop spreading rumors. I don't have those kinds of thoughts!"

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Today's gossip is truly delicious!"

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "Kid, sister needs to reshape your worldview."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Bao'er Jie, I am truly wronged. Everyone look at my eyes, how pure, how innocent.

Don't your consciences hurt for casting such suspicions on a child?"

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Sorry, I don't have a conscience, Shi Laoliu."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "I have a conscience, but not much."

Young Girl Ruthless: "..."

Axe Gang Leader: "Haha, one word: Absolute."

Peach Blossom Island Little Fairy: "I believe in Xiao Shi."

Yin-Yang School's First Extraordinary Woman: "Same here."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Ahem, actually, Innate Sacred beings like the Sanqing are perfect and flawless, naturally carrying an aura of charm. It is only natural for Xiao Shi to be moved; it is not necessarily other thoughts, perhaps just instinct."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "See, even Brother Xuanzang says so."

Demon Queen: "Right, just like us angels. Our bodies are too perfect; any angel arriving on Earth would naturally attract ordinary people."

Kyushu's Number One Golden Core: "Agreed."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Alright, since that's the case, we believe Shi Laoliu is indeed a simple child."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Tch!"

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "But Big Brother Xuanzang, since you've arrived in the Honghuang and met the Sanqing, it wouldn't be right not to stir up some trouble."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Stir up trouble?"

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Yeah. Back before I transmigrated, many Honghuang novels on the internet were all about stirring up trouble."

Kyushu's Number One Golden Core: "For example!"

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "How about Xuan Ge recites the Tao Te Ching to Taiqing?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Xu Laoliu, you really dare to think!"

Kyushu's Number One Golden Core: "Recite a passage of the Tao Te Ching to Taiqing? Do you have to be so outrageous?"

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "It has no meaning."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Why no meaning? The Tao Te Ching is one of the important opportunities for Taiqing to become a Saint, blessed with Heavenly Dao Merit and Great Luck. Xuan Ge, if you produce the Tao Te Ching first, you might be able to gain a wave of merit."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "That's so mean!"

Demon Queen: "Too wicked."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Ahem, don't blame me, most tropes are like this."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "The Tao Te Ching is the manifestation of Taiqing's Great Dao insights; even if I say it first, there will be no change."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "??"

Bad Commander: "The reason the Tao Te Ching is passed down is not because of the text itself, but because of the Taiqing Saint. Without the Taiqing Saint, the Tao Te Ching loses its value.

The Tao Te Ching contains the Tao of Taiqing, but for millions of years, the only one who could truly attain the Dao from it is the Taiqing Saint.

That is why the Holy Monk Xuanzang said so; even if spoken, no one can comprehend the Dao within it, so it loses its value."

Bad Commander suddenly spoke up, explaining it to everyone.

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Gangzi is right, very insightful."

Truly worthy of being an existence who treats the world as a chessboard; the way he views things is indeed thorough.

Bad Commander: "Ahem, Holy Monk Xuanzang, you flatter me."

Number One Golden Core of the Nine Provinces: "Gangzi, this Sword Immortal gives you a like."

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Gangzi, this old man also gives you a like."

Wudang Old Immortal: "Ahem, Gangzi, this old Taoist also gives you a like."

Bad Commander: "……"

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Therefore, what is realized is the Taoism, while what is heard is all nonsense. What is written is the true scripture, and what has words are all dogmas."

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "Alright, I overthought it."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "More than overthought, it's practically dreaming."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Exactly, too much of a Diliu, Xu Laoliu."

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Although this method is not feasible, one can obtain Honghuang opportunities in advance, such as magic treasures or spiritual roots."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "It's over, Han Diliu is out again."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Indeed, if one intercepts opportunities and magic treasures in advance, it is feasible. However, cultivation emphasizes Karma."

Leader of the Axe Gang: "Master, I understand this, just like how one has to pay back what they owe when living in the underworld."

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Better to just develop cautiously."

Seeing this, Han Li went back to lurking and cultivating.

……

Kunlun Mountain.

Because he was not in a hurry to watch the war between the Tao and the Demon, Xuanzang and his party stayed in the Sanqing cave dwelling for a period of time, incidentally discussing Taoism and cultivating.

Under Xuanzang's preaching, the Sanqing brothers also understood the importance of the Daluo Fruit Status, and almost at the same time, they successfully advanced, even far exceeding ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals?

One must know that Sanqing had long been at the Daluo level, only lacking the Daluo Dao Fruit.

Now, under Xuanzang's guidance, they had successive epiphanies, and combined with their years of accumulated foundation, their cultivation progressed rapidly.

Especially Taiqing, who entered directly into the mid-stage realm of Daluo, while Yuanshi and Tongtian were only a step away from advancing to the mid-stage.

Likewise, in the process of discussing Taoism, Xuanzang also stepped from the Daluo Late Stage Perfection into the Small Primordial Realm; according to the realm, it could also be considered the strength of the early Quasi-Saint stage.

The discussion of Taoism with Sanqing was truly of great benefit.

Especially Taiqing; although his realm was not as profound as his, his understanding of the Tao was indeed terrifying, almost approaching the Tao itself.

Xiao Shi, Anlan, and the Demon Venerable all had significant progress.

Especially the Demon Venerable, who, by utilizing the Law of the Honghuang world to digest the Demon Ancestor Essence Blood, had already condensed a perfect Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and was also about to march toward Daluo.

With the feedback from the Demon Ancestor Essence Blood, as long as the Demon Dao Fazhe within it was refined, for Chonglou, advancing to Daluo was only a matter of time.

And Anlan, seeing his own cultivation progress and being about to advance to Immortal Emperor, could not be happy.

Because the Laws of the world were different; once he advanced to Immortal Emperor in Honghuang, he would inevitably be countered and assimilated by the Honghuang Laws!

The Heavenly Dao Laws were too overbearing and did not allow for the existence of anything outside the Laws.

Therefore, Anlan even thought about abandoning this cultivation of a Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor and re-cultivating the Honghuang method.

But in the end, he could not bear to. Moreover, the original method was already deeply rooted and could not be abandoned just by saying so.

For a time, Anlan paced and hesitated, only able to constantly suppress his cultivation.

Xiao Shi's predicament was similar to Anlan's, and even more complex.

Because Xiao Shi had always been tempering his Flesh, not cultivating the realm; after all, the differences in the methods between the two worlds were huge.

Once he broke through the realm excessively, he would also be assimilated by the Honghuang Laws and might potentially dissolve into the Tao.

But the problem arose: his current Flesh had already been tempered to the limit of the Human Dao Supreme, in short, the limit of a Great Emperor, and could no longer be broken through.

Just like a bucket, it could only hold one bucket of water; to hold more water, the container must be expanded.

These past few days, Xiao Shi had been listening to the Tao beside Xuanzang and Sanqing, gaining much inspiration.

Since he was afraid of being assimilated by the Honghuang Laws, what if he created a new system?

If he integrated the Honghuang Laws with his own system, wouldn't that solve the problem?
