Chapter 134: Chapter 134 [Fu Xi’s Opportunity, Chaos Spirit Root] (Request for Subscription)

Hao Tian, as a disciple of the Daoist Ancestor, was well aware of the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Saint. At such a time, it would be unwise to offend a Saint rashly.

But having made a promise, it was not good for him to break his word.

He had no choice but to turn to "Suiren," and slowly said, "I wonder if Suiren Daoist friend, as an elder of the Human Race, could mediate on my behalf in this matter?"

In his view, given "Suiren’s" influence in the Human Race, it should be a trivial matter to establish temples for the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court among the Human Race, if he would take the initiative to speak out.

What a pity...

He had oversimplified everything!

"Suiren" shook his head and immediately refused, "Since I have already abdicated the position of the leader of the Human Race, it is inappropriate for me to intervene in affairs of the Human Race anymore! Your Majesty, if you wish for the Immortal Gods of Heavenly Court to establish temples among the Human Race, you should discuss this with Holy Mother Lady or the current leader of the Human Race, the future Human Emperor Paoxi."

He did not want to wade into these murky waters!

Moreover, his true self is a disciple of the Xuan Sect, naturally prioritizing the interests of Xuan Sect!

"Your servant shall take his leave!"

Having said that, "Suiren" bowed and left directly. As long as he did his duty, Hao Tian could not simply dispense with him, the Fire Department True God, without reason.

Therefore, he did not have to be servile, obedient to every beck and call of Hao Tian.

Hao Tian furrowed his brow upon hearing these words. "Suiren’s" meaning was clear—he did not want to be involved in the struggle between the Heavenly Court and Xuan Sect, and if Hao Tian wanted temples for the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court to be established among the Human Race, he should negotiate with Nuwa or Paoxi; seeking "Suiren’s" intervention as an elder of the Human Race was impossible.

"Old fox!"

Hao Tian cursed to himself.

He had originally thought that "Suiren," as an elder of the Human Race, would be sincere and could surely be convinced otherwise, but he did not expect him to be as cunning as a slippery loach.

However, "Suiren’s" words reminded him that in the Primordial World, there might be many who wished to cause irreconcilable conflicts between the Heavenly Court and the Xuan Sect.

"Who exactly is causing trouble?" The suspicion in his eyes vanished in a flash: "Is it Ma Yi? Or that fellow Ao Hong? Or perhaps Fu Yuan Immortal?"

As the Heavenly Emperor, he had a general understanding of these Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court, if not comprehensive, and knew that most had their own schemes.

Especially those of the Daluo level and above, with Gold Star Taibai and Green Robe Great Immortal being more honest, Ao Hong, Ma Yi Great Immortal, and Fu Yuan Immortal were all restless individuals.

He had not originally taken such minor schemings to heart... because he had absolute confidence in suppressing any undesired ambitions!

But...

Now that it involved Saints and involved Fu Xi, he had to take this matter seriously!

He decided to meet with Paoxi, to meet with Nuwa, and, if possible, he also wanted to take this opportunity to communicate with the Taiching Saint of the Human Sect!

...

Before long, Hao Tian quietly arrived at the Hua Xu tribe. Paoxi was still researching Artifact Refining Technique, but the presence of Feng Xi beside him caught his eye.

"Lady..."

Before he could speak, he saw the earth spin and the sky turn around him, and then he appeared millions of miles away.

And with Feng Xi following, she spoke coldly, "Why does Brother Hao Tian, who should be in the Heavenly Court, come to the Human Clan Tribe of Hua Xu?"

Hao Tian hurriedly explained, "The Heavenly Court is short of manpower, and I wanted to recruit talent from the Human Race! At the same time, I also wanted to discuss with the current leader of the Human Race about the matter of Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court establishing temples among the Human Race! Please do not misunderstand, Nuwa sister, I will not do anything against the interests of the Human Race and Paoxi Daoist friend!"

Feng Xi frowned slightly: "It seems that you are aware of my brother’s identity! However, for the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court to establish temples among the Human Race, you have approached the wrong person! I will not stop it, but neither will I agree! After all... it is the Taiching teacher who is in charge of nurturing the Human Race!"

"Go back!"

"If you can persuade the Taiching teacher to allow the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court to receive incense offerings from the Human Race, Paoxi will naturally agree, otherwise there is absolutely no point!"

After the last time the Daoist Ancestor spoke of the rise of the Human Race in the Purple Cloud Palace, Taiching Laozi had consulted with her about the future education of the eight Imperial authorities of the Human Race, and she agreed that Xuan Sect Cultivators would henceforth be responsible for the education of the Human Race.

Hao Tian wanted to intervene.

She would not take a stand, nor would she help Hao Tian, only advising him to consult with Taiching Laozi.

"Thank you for the guidance, sister!"

Hao Tian revealed a wry smile. He had anticipated Nuwa’s words, and the fact that she did not outright reject him was already kind!

Clearly, she did not want to get involved in the power struggle between Heavenly Court and the Xuan Sect.

Hao Tian thought for a moment and did not immediately go to find Taiching Laozi, but instead planned to wait for an appropriate time to make the Taiching teacher compromise.

...

The golden crow flew and the jade rabbit proceeded.

In the blink of an eye, three Yuanhui had passed. Paoxi’s destiny became increasingly profound, and with the destiny of the Human Race, he had advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm.

He had connected many Human Clan Tribes through the "Transmission Array," becoming the true sovereign of the Human Race, while also harboring ambitions to expand into the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Over the years, the Human Race had multiplied, and their numbers were now hundreds of times greater than before the Demon Clan’s massacre. Their original territory was no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the Human Race!

Next, they had to either conquer other races or explore the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Paoxi did not want to conflict with other races living near the Human Race, especially the Dragon Clan, who had provided him with many materials for constructing "Transmission Arrays" over the years.

Even the East Sea Dragon King had proposed a connection of destinies between the two races, sharing fortunes and disasters from then on.

And Paoxi thought that forming an alliance with the Dragon Clan would greatly benefit the Human Race, so he allowed the Dragon Clan to merge into the destiny of the Human Race by becoming a totem of the Human Race.

Of course, all this could not have happened without the guidance of "Ancestor Suiren" and Xuan Dou.

Even as the heavenly protagonist ordained by the Heavenly Dao, the Human Race was still impoverished, unable to offer up the abundant Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required for Paoxi to construct the "Transmission Array"!

In his worry, Xuan Dou once again sought out Xuanqing, who then thought of the Dragon Clan.

The Human Race had none!

But the Dragon Clan did!

The Dragon Clan’s wealth was no joke; they truly occupied the vast expanse of the Four Seas.

"Expanding into the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds is no easy feat!" Paoxi lamented daily with furrowed brows: "How to locate the position of those Great Thousand Worlds in the Chaotic Universe is a tremendous challenge!"

"Not to mention, migrating billions of humans of varied cultivation levels into those worlds!"

Having achieved Daluo Golden Immortal status for tens of thousands of years, Paoxi had ventured into Chaos, intending to find several worlds suitable for the Human Race to inhabit... but after wasting a thousand years, he ended up empty-handed!

It couldn’t be helped!

The Chaotic Universe was pitch-black, devoid of direction, and rife with void currents. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal dared not venture deep into Chaos lightly.

The Primordial World was vast and boundless, but compared to Chaos, it was just a mere droplet!

"My husband, there’s no need to worry!"

Mrs. Fuxi smiled warmly at Paoxi and comforted him: "Whoever presented you with this problem, why not ask them to solve it?"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Paoxi couldn’t help but frown and say, "You’re suggesting we ask the Ancestor Suiren, but that doesn’t seem right. I still wish to solve this problem with my own wisdom!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fuxi sighed helplessly. Paoxi was good in all respects but was too rigid, lacking the flexibility once embodied by Fuxi.

However, perhaps due to the favor of destiny, he truly did find a way.

While the Human Race, through Paoxi’s constructed Earth Piercing Divine Ship, was mining deep beneath the earth, they discovered an unmanifested heavenly secret realm...

And within this secret realm, Paoxi found a broken Chaos Spirit Root—Jian Mu!

The greatest use of this Spirit Root was to connect the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds; if it could be restored to its original state, involving Jian Mu in traversing the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds would be a trivial matter.

Moreover, it could replace Buzhou Mountain, transforming Innate Spiritual Energy for the Primordial World, allowing it to revert from its current Acquired Spirit Qi era back to an Innate Spirit Qi era.

But...

How difficult would that be?

Even Nuwa, the Saint skilled in the Creation Great Dao, couldn’t restore Jian Mu to its original state, for this Chaos Spirit Root had been wounded at its core by the Heavenly Creation Divine Axe!

"Unless the essence of a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal is used for nourishment, and at the same time assisted by the Creation Skill, there might be a chance to restore this Chaos Spirit Root to its rank!"

Nuwa had tried other methods too, using the "Three Lights Divine Water," the "Nine Heavens Breath Soil," and various other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

But it was still futile!

After pondering, she decided to summon Xuanqing and inquire. Although Xuanqing’s strength was far inferior to hers, sometimes, he could provide quite brilliant ideas.

Like persuading the Dragon Clan and Witch Clan to join in mending the Ancient Starry Sky.

Before long, amidst a familiar sensation of the world spinning, Xuanqing once again encountered the familiar Nuwa, holding the broken Chaos Spirit Root—Jian Mu!

Hearing about the challenges Paoxi faced and the issue Nuwa grappled with, he spoke slowly: "Lady, your strength should be equivalent to Primordial Chaos, right? With your Saintly essence, you should be able to repair Jian Mu!"

"What kind of lousy suggestion is that!"

Nuwa responded, clearly annoyed: "Although a Saint is immortal and the Primordial Spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, I fear no Saint would be willing to sacrifice themselves!"

After some thought, she added, "Of course, Houtu becoming Reincarnation is an exception!"

Xuanqing then closely examined Jian Mu. Just as Nuwa said, this Chaos Spirit Root had been damaged at its core by the edge of the Heavenly Creation Divine Axe. Now, it was only slightly stronger than a Top Grade Innate Spirit Root, still far from being able... to support and connect the worlds near the Primordial World as envisioned by Paoxi.

Suddenly, a bold idea rose in his heart. Probing, he asked, "A Chaos Spirit Root should be able to suppress the fortunes of an individual or a Daoist lineage, right?"

"Of course!"

Nuwa nodded and immediately responded, "A complete Chaos Spirit Root is essentially no less superior than a Chaos Spirit Treasure, more suitable for suppressing fortunes than an Innate Treasure."

"Lady, please wait!"

After receiving an affirmative reply from Nuwa, Xuanqing immediately contacted Tongtian Sect Master.

Currently, the Chaos Bell was nowhere to be found, the Heaven and Earth Ding was controlled by the Heavenly Dao, and the remaining two Innate Treasures were each in the hands of two elder masters. As a result, Tongtian Sect Master had always been worried about suppressing the fortunes of Jie Sect...

As long as his own teacher was willing, daring to take that slight risk, wouldn’t this Jian Mu be the Spirit Treasure delivered to his doorstep, capable of suppressing the fortunes of Jie Sect?

Boom!

With a thunderous roar and beams of purple qi, the figure of Tongtian Sect Master appeared in the void.

As soon as he appeared, he couldn’t wait to look towards Xuanqing, asking, "Where is the Chaos Spirit Root that you mentioned which can suppress the fortunes of my Jie Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing immediately pointed towards Jian Mu in Nuwa’s hands, "The Spirit Root is here, but it might be possible to restore its rank only through the sacrifice of a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal! Teacher, as the Heavenly Dao is indestructible, so are the Saints immortal; your Primordial Spirit rests with the Heavenly Dao, essentially undying and immortal, would you consider trying to sacrifice yourself?"

"This..."

Even as someone who had witnessed countless wonders, Tongtian Sect Master was taken aback by Xuanqing’s words... A Heavenly Dao Saint offering to sacrifice themselves?

Though theoretically, as Saints’ Primordial Spirits are entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, and as the Heavenly Dao is eternal, Saints are undying, but no one would willingly taste the bitterness of oblivion!

Yet, faced with the broken Jian Mu, he hesitated... because if restored, it truly had the capability to suppress the fortunes of Jie Sect!
