Chapter 257: Nüwa is helpless, Laozi spreads the Dao to humanity!

Speechless!

Utterly speechless!

Nüwa looked at Lu Ya, filled with a feeling of helplessness.

What the hell is this?!

My original intention was to save people and preserve the Golden Crow bloodline's continuity.

Who would have thought that in the end I would find myself holding such a hot potato.

Moreover, the Demon Race now has no place for Lu Ya to stay, and I still can't ignore it.

This time, I can only accept the loss myself.

Thinking of this, Nüwa felt both resentment and lingering sorrow toward Chen Ku.

On the other side, upon hearing Nüwa's words, Yu Linglong was instantly overjoyed.

"Thank you, Nüwa Saint... Thank you, Nüwa Saint......"

She knew that as soon as Nüwa spoke, at least Lu Ya's life was secured.

As expected!

Seeing Nüwa say that, Di Jun's expression remained grim, but he didn't say anything more.

The chilling aura around him also retracted inward, and his killing intent gradually dissipated.

Nüwa seemed too lazy to say more.

Having already agreed, she glanced at Di Jun and the others.

Afterward, she took Lu Ya back to Taisu Heaven.

Taiyi, the Ten Great Demon Saints, and the others dispersed.

At the highest point of the Thirty-Three Heavens, only Di Jun and Yu Linglong remained.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"What on earth did Chen Ku do?!"

The matter of Lu Ya, although temporarily settled,

but Di Jun was still furious, repeatedly letting out low growls, his anger reaching its peak.

Seeing Di Jun like this, Yu Linglong's expression shifted, as if she had thought of something.

"Your Majesty, the Golden Crow bloodline must not be cut off."

"Now that Lu Ya is obsessed with the so-called Buddhist marvelous methods, it seems there is no hope left for strengthening the Demon Court."

"If that's the case... we can only produce offspring again to continue the Golden Crow bloodline."

The main account has been ruined, so we can only start a new alt.

It must be said, Yu Linglong's proposal is indeed the best method for the Golden Crow lineage, or rather for the Demon Court.

As she spoke, a hint of shyness appeared on her stunning face, making hearts sway.

This scene, along with Yu Linglong's words, also caused Di Jun's expression to shift.

Unbeknownst to him, his anger also lessened somewhat.

"Looks like we have no choice but to do this......"

Di Jun responded in a sentence.

Afterward, the highest point of the Thirty-Three Heavens was suddenly filled with a tender and romantic atmosphere.

Just as Di Jun and Yu Linglong continued to 'create little Golden Crows',

Taiyi, Kunpeng, Fuxi, and the Ten Great Demon Saints also gathered at this moment.

"Let's not mention the Lu Ya matter for now."

"We still need to study how to counter the Wu Clan's All-Heaven Divine Slaughter Grand Formation."

Taiyi, taking the lead, spoke thus:

Not bad!

For these top-tier powerhouses, how Lu Ya fares is secondary.

Most importantly, how can we directly withstand the Wu Clan's All-Heaven Divine Slaughter Great God, which is none other than that illusory shadow of Pangu?

In the previous battle, everyone had deeply felt this.

Without the aid of saints, relying solely on their own strength, it is utterly impossible to shake the might of Pangu's illusory shadow.

As the words fell, Kunpeng and the others fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Fuxi finally spoke:

"In my view, only by using a formation to break a formation can we break the deadlock!"

Fuxi proposed this idea.

Formations are the amplification and extension of one's own strength.

A sufficiently profound formation can increase a primordial cultivator's combat power by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.

Pangu's illusory shadow is the best proof of that.

Upon hearing this, everyone silently nodded in agreement.

"Using a formation to break a formation... this method could work."

"However, our Demon Court possesses only one Primordial River Luo Grand Formation."

"Compared to Pangu's illusory shadow, it is still far insufficient."

Bai Ze spoke, his expression grave, or rather heavy.

This point was clear to everyone.

Although the Demon Court had long researched the Primordial River Luo Grand Formation, its power ultimately belongs only to the quasi-saint level, far from reaching the level of saints.

It is precisely because of this enormous gap that the demon court had not previously deployed that great formation.

Bai Ze's words plunged everyone once more into deep thought.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches could develop the Great Formation of the Celestial Gods and Slaughter precisely because they inherited Pangu's essence blood.

What tremendous advantage does our demon court have, then?

Kunpeng muttered under his breath, as if talking to himself.

Needless to say, his words hit the mark.

After all, no supreme formation can appear out of thin air.

Instead, one must first uncover one's own advantage, then employ the formation to raise it to its highest potential.

In short, it's the same idea as playing to one's strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

A single sentence awakens the dreamer.

Hearing Kunpeng's words, Taiyi's expression changed sharply.

These countless stars of the celestial heavens are all under our demon court's command.

Is this not the greatest advantage?

His words having fallen, the ten great demon sages and others' eyes brightened.

Exactly!

They do not possess the innate advantage of Pangu's bloodline.

but the demon court stands beyond the thirty-three heavens, at the very center of the celestial universe.

The myriad great stars are the source of the demon court's power.

If harnessed, its power would shake heaven and earth, enough to rival Pangu's phantom.

Excellent, excellent; Your Majesty Donghuang is absolutely right!

We should combine the celestial stars to forge a new supreme formation.

Once the formation is unveiled, the power of the countless stars will back it, making resistance to Pangu's phantom effortless.

The gloom cleared, and everyone's faces lit up with excitement.

Thereafter, without further ado, they immediately set about grasping the power of the celestial stars and researching the formation.

In Kunlun Mountain!

The Three Pure Ones were also deliberating something at this time.

Brother, that Kongtong Seal was earlier given to Chen Ku.

Now, even more of the human race's fortune flows toward the Western Buddhist sect.

This is somewhat disadvantageous for us.

Yuanshi spoke, his face grave as he looked toward the Western Buddhist sect:

His words were already quite tactful and courteous.

In fact, the Kongtong Seal was hardly something they gave up.

It was simply Chen Ku's due, what he rightfully deserved.

However, Laozi naturally would not say more.

At this moment, his expression was also rather gloomy.

When Sister Nüwa fashioned mankind, Chen Ku intervened and gained the merit of creating humans.

Afterward, he brought some of humanity back to the West to preach and spread the Dharma.

Thus, much of the human race's fortune now rests upon Chen Ku.

As for me, I have devoted myself to the Dao for many years, yet I have never preached among humanity, which is why I have not gained human fortune.

Needless to say.

The earlier failure to seize the Kongtong Seal finally prompted Laozi to reflect on himself.

After all, as a sage, Laozi quickly grasped the reason.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian startled, then suddenly came to realize.

So that's how it is......

What will Elder Brother Taishang do?!

The two asked in a low voice.

This time, Laozi hesitated not, as if he had already made his decision.

I will now go to humanity to preach to all beings.

As long as my Dao spreads widely among humanity, the convergence of fortune will pose no problem.

This is the way of the Ren Sect.

Thus, Yuanshi and Tongtian could only nod, saying nothing more.

Immediately, Laozi acted with swift decisiveness, descending at once into the human realm.

At present, although humanity numbers in the hundreds of millions, eight or nine out of ten are merely the offspring of later-born beings, with poor cultivation.

Or more accurately, the vast majority of beings possess no cultivation at all.

For Laozi, this is naturally no difficulty.

With the sage's innate profundity, within just a few days he alone created the Dao De Jing, suitable for human cultivation.

Afterward, Laozi did not conceal anything; manifesting his sagely presence among humanity, he began to teach the Dao De Jing.

To this, humanity received it as if obtaining a supreme treasure.

The Dao De Jing, though rudimentary, has an extremely low ceiling.

However, neither Nüwa nor Chen Ku has ever transmitted any cultivation method among this eastern humanity.

Therefore, the human race's vision is limited.

Moreover, following Laozi's teachings, the human race cultivates diligently without cease.

Gradually, some members of the human race, under the aid of the Dao De Jing, faintly give birth to a golden core within their bodies.

This further delighted the human race, who believed that what Laozi transmitted was the supreme cultivation method.

The name 'Golden Core Method' also spread among the human race.

Time passed slowly.

No one knows how long has passed.

Laozi's trail of preaching has almost spread throughout the human race's territory.

And as more and more members of the human race practiced the Golden Core Method, Laozi clearly sensed that the human race's fortune was indeed continually gathering, strengthening the Ren Sect and also bolstering Laozi's own sage origin.

One day, Laozi sat cross-legged in the void, having just finished his preaching.

And just at that moment.

From among the human race below, a figure suddenly stepped forward slowly, bowing in salute.

"Supreme Sage, please behold!"

"Junior Xuandu, I request to join the Ren Sect and cultivate the Supreme Great Dao."

"I implore the Sage to take pity and accept me as a disciple."

Not bad!

At this moment, the predestined personal-transmission disciple of the Ren Sect, Xuandu, appeared.

Hearing Xuandu's request to become a disciple, Laozi was first startled.

But soon after, a profound and ineffable sense seemed to arise from the depths.

This child's destiny belongs within the Ren Sect!

Laozi, perceiving the heavenly numbers, instantly understood many things.

All along, he has emphasized the word 'fate' when taking disciples.

But throughout endless ages, he has never encountered anyone truly fated.

Yet today's Xuandu is precisely the person of destiny.

Thinking this, Laozi wasted no words.

"Hehe, good, good!"

"Xuandu, you share fate with this seat."

"From now on, you will be the first personal-transmission disciple of my Ren Sect."

Laozi agreed.

Upon hearing this, Xuandu was overjoyed, extremely excited.

Afterward, the elaborate ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows for accepting a disciple need not be elaborated.

Xuandu was fervently enthusiastic, and Laozi also wore a smile.

Immediately afterward, Laozi flipped his palm.

"Today, since you have become a disciple,"

"as the teacher, I should bestow an initiation gift."

"This nine-turn golden pill will greatly benefit your cultivation; please take it."

The nine-turn golden pill can be said to be a top-grade immortal pill of the present age.

This shows that Laozi is not stingy toward this newly accepted disciple, but rather values him greatly.

Xuandu again expressed thousands of thanks.

Afterward, he eagerly swallowed that nine-turn golden pill.

In an instant, his aura, originally only at the Heavenly Immortal level, surged violently.

Boom—rumble!

Xuandu's body radiated light, his qi and blood roared like rolling thunder, echoing loudly, shaking the deaf and awakening the dull.

His origin Dao foundation grew at a visible speed.

At the same time, boundless innate spiritual qi surged forth, continuously pouring into Xuandu's body.

True Immigrant......

Golden Immortal......

Taiyi Golden Immortal......

However, in just a short moment, his cultivation rose step by step, advancing triumphantly.

In the end, he instantly achieved the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The miraculous effect of the nine-turn golden pill is evident, especially for the human race, whose aptitude is ordinary; its effect is hardly inferior to a top-grade innate spiritual root.

Of course, this also shows how profound Laozi's alchemical Dao is.

This scene caused countless members of the human race to envy greatly, and they likewise knelt, begging to become disciples.

But it is easy to imagine that Laozi merely glanced at the myriad beings and did not find any other sentient being fated with the Ren Sect.

Therefore, he could only coldly refuse.

For him, accepting Xuandu alone as a disciple is sufficient.

Thus, it not only concludes the karmic tie of founding the sect based on the human race's fortune,

but also allows Xuandu to act in his stead, walking among the human race to continue preaching to sentient beings.

Only then did Laozi feel content.

He no longer personally preached to the human race, merely leaving Xuandu behind, and then returned to Kunlun Mountain.

Western Heaven and Earth, Mount Sumeru!

At one moment, Chen Ku's expression shifted, as if he sensed something.

His deep gaze turned toward the human race's territory in Eastern Heaven and Earth.

"Heh... Finally starting to preach to the human race?!"

Not bad!

Laozi taking on Xuandu as a disciple, as well as the matter of preaching to the human race, Chen Ku already knew all about it.

Regarding this, he was not surprised at all.

In fact, Laozi should have long ago preached to the human race.

Otherwise, watching the human race's luck flow away in vain, Chen Ku even had the urge to get ahead and spread the Dao to the human race first.

Of course, this was merely a fleeting thought; he would not act on it.

After all, that would be tantamount to seizing the origin of the Ren Sect's sage Dao lineage, which the Heavenly Dao would not allow.

Moreover, although Laozi's preaching to the Eastern human race did harvest some luck,

but in Chen Ku's view, it was still not worth mentioning.

Now he merely educates those human beings he originally brought to the West, and they have already reached a level that crushes the Eastern human race.

This is the significance of Chen Ku's early layout, preaching to the human race sooner.

Of course, unlike Laozi, what Chen Ku imparts to the human race is also supremely profound and exquisite Buddhist Dao methods.

Naturally, it is not something that can be compared to Laozi's so-called Golden Core Method.

Though both are human, the distance between East and West is truly heaven and earth apart, and that is no exaggeration.

Besides that, more importantly, Laozi's preaching to the Eastern human race is also a good thing for Chen Ku.

"Heh... Although the human race already has an East-West division."

"But this Holy Father position of the human race that I hold is respected by all of humanity."

"As long as the human race as a whole continues to grow strong, I can reap endless luck."

Only a moment later, Chen Ku withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention.

Right now, he still has more important matters.

With a thought, the Twenty-Four Rank Chaos Azure Lotus emerged.

Chen Ku leapt up and sat cross-legged upon the lotus platform.

In his eyes, a hint of anticipation also appeared.

"Now, we should also take one step further, achieving the true unification of the Three Worlds Buddha Body......"
