Chapter 54 Teacher, your path to sainthood lies with the human race.
Following the causal connection between Taibai and Taiqing, Taibai continuously moved towards the direction where Taiqing was located.
However, Laozi of Taiqing was highly accomplished in Taoism, his whereabouts were elusive, and his speed of movement far exceeded Taibai's expectations.
He sensed the lingering aura of Taiqing several times, but by the time he rushed there, he was always too late. The other party had already left, and the cause and effect had shifted to another realm.
I searched in all directions, from east to west and north to south.
Taibai set off time and time again, only to fail each time, ultimately failing to pinpoint Taiqing's location.
"call……"
He slowly stopped his escape light, stood on the cloud, looked at the vast sky and earth, and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"My teacher is already a quasi-saint, with a thought that can traverse the world. I am merely a Taiyi cultivator; how could I possibly catch up?"
Instead of chasing after it in vain, let's try a different approach.
"Since I can't find my teacher, then I'll let my teacher come looking for me."
Taibai murmured to himself, calming his mind, and then focused his thoughts, sending a telepathic message to Taiqing Laozi:
"Master, I have something to tell you about the opportunity to become a saint. Please come and see me immediately!"
The transmission had barely finished when, before three breaths had passed, the figure of Taiqing Laozi appeared without any warning.
Taiqing's sudden appearance startled Taibai, causing him to involuntarily drift backward more than a hundred steps before regaining his balance.
"Teacher...you should make some noise when you show up."
"You have already attained the Taiyi Dao Fruit, you should calm your mind and settle your nature. Such panic is unbecoming of your status. Speak, what heavenly secrets have you glimpsed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slightly raised his sleeves, and the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda rose from the top, casting down beams of mysterious light that enveloped the surrounding world and shielded it from the secrets of heaven.
"Master, I had some doubts when I saw my aunt Nuwa become a saint."
The higher one's cultivation level before becoming a saint, the stronger one's power will be after becoming a saint, and the greater the authority over the Heavenly Dao that one can wield.
Taiqing held the Yin and Yang energies circulating continuously in his hands and slowly closed his eyes.
Clearly, he was testing the feasibility of his disciple's words.
But the realm of a sage is profound and unfathomable, and how could a quasi-sage possibly fathom it?
Sure enough, after only a moment, Taiqing opened his eyes again, a hint of disappointment flashing in them.
Do you have any evidence to support this claim?
Since the calculations yielded no results, Taiqing had no choice but to turn his attention back to Taibai.
Although Taibai's cultivation level was only Taiyi, he was someone who personally witnessed Nuwa's ascension to sainthood.
Taiqing knew this was the case, and since his calculations were fruitless, he could only take what he said as a glimmer of hope and consider it carefully.
After all, since it concerns the sacred path, even the slightest trace deserves utmost caution.
"Master, although I have no proof, I dare to assert that the opportunity for you to become a saint lies with the human race."
Surrounded by the mysterious aura emanating from the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, the secrets of heaven were completely obscured, and Taibai spoke with less restraint.
He could also speak freely about Taiqing's path to sainthood.
"Oh? It's true that Nuwa became a saint by creating humans, but why is it that my opportunity also fell to the human race?"
If one truly achieves sainthood through this path, taking away the destiny of humanity, wouldn't that create a karmic entanglement with Nuwa?
In fact, Taiqing was absolutely right.
If he truly attains enlightenment through the human race, he will inevitably take away the human race's fortune.
Moreover, Taibai has already seized one-tenth of the human race's fortune; if Taiqing were to use the human race to prove his Dao,
The human race's fortune in Nuwa's hands will be further reduced, dropping from 80% to 50%.
"Teacher, the merits that my uncle gained from creating the human race amount to at least 100,000 mu."
What kind of being could be born that would provoke such a strong reaction from the Heavenly Dao?
"This shows that the human race will surely be valued by the Heavenly Way."
If a teacher goes to teach and enlighten humanity, he will surely attain sainthood through this merit.
"If you don't believe me, teacher, you might as well come with me to the human race and see for yourself."
Having said that, Taibai said no more and waited for Taiqing's response.
At this moment, Taiqing did not reply immediately, but instead focused on deducing the past and future of the human race.
"We can only see the past, but not the future. No, it's not that there is no future, but that the future of humanity is difficult to predict."
Taiqing muttered to himself, his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze fixed on the ancestral land of the human race not far away.
"Let's go, follow me to see for ourselves. What kind of race is this human race that even its future is so unpredictable?"
Taiqing was actually quite surprised. Since the future couldn't be predicted, there were only two possibilities:
Firstly, this race has no future; it is merely a fleeting phenomenon, destined to perish shortly after its birth.
Secondly, this race possesses an immeasurable and limitless future, or perhaps it is because my cultivation is still shallow that I am unable to deduce its infinite possibilities.
But Taiqing was more inclined to believe the second possibility, after all, the human race was created by Nuwa.
Looking across the entire primordial world, probably no one would dare to easily attack the race created by the sage; the karmic consequences are simply too great.
Before long, Taiqing had brought Taibai to the sky above the ancestral land of the human race.
At this moment, the lingering aura of Heavenly Dao merit still lingers above the ancestral land of humanity, the golden light faint and not yet completely dissipated.
After sensing the situation, Taiqing realized that this place had just received the power of merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
Below, a group of people were cheering and dancing around a leaping torch.
They kept shouting something, their voices converging into a blurry yet fervent clamor.
In mid-air, a dragon leisurely coiled, occasionally letting out a clear and melodious dragon roar;
On the ground, the wolf also raised its head and howled, its voice revealing a hint of joy.
Taiqing stood in the air, quietly looking down at everything below, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
This race is indeed blessed by Heaven, otherwise it would never have received so many merits.
"Teacher, what do you think? Wasn't what I said correct? The future of the human race is bound to have limitless potential."
"What you say is indeed true. It seems that my opportunity to attain enlightenment truly lies with this clan."
"Is the teacher planning to seek divine insights here?"
"Okay. If you have something to attend to, you may leave now."
"Then this disciple will take his leave. I wish my master a swift attainment of the Primordial Dao, and eternal indestructibility."
At this point, Taibai had done everything he could; all he needed to do now was wait for the right opportunity.
His next destination was Mount Sumeru in the west.
This place is extremely far from Mount Sumeru in the west. Even if we set off now and flew away, it would take at least ten thousand years to reach it.
Ten thousand years later, according to the great trend of Heaven, the Three Pure Ones will become saints one after another, and the two from the West will be the last to attain sainthood.
Before the Western duo became saints, he could find a way to make them owe him a debt of karma.
In this way, if needed in the future, actions will be more readily available.
Although those two Westerners have never had a good reputation, just as they once owed Hongyun a debt of karma,
Instead of offering assistance, they took advantage of the situation and helped the Demon Court shield Hongyun's aura.
But unlike Hongyun, he was a direct disciple of the Three Pure Ones.
If the two Western powers dare to make a move, the entire future of Western religion will likely be turned upside down.
Therefore, he was not worried at all that the Western duo would deny this cause and effect, nor was he worried that the two would take action against him.
