[The First Sage Shocks the Heavens]
Chapter 18 [The First Sage Shocks the Heavens]
As the head of the Three Pure Ones, Laozi still preserved the Three Pure Ones Hall in the Eight Views Palace even after the Three Pure Ones split up.
The Shangqing Hall was a hall specifically prepared for the Jiejiao sect.
At this moment, Su Rou and her two siblings had already arrived at the Shangqing Hall with the Tongtian Sect Leader.
The three mischievous children had never seen such a luxurious palace before. From the moment they entered, they were amazed, touching and knocking on this and that, which amused the Tongtian Sect Leader immensely.
Su Chen, in particular, pointed at the red pillar with the carved dragon and exclaimed with delight, "Eldest sister, second sister, look!"
"This is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Nanmu that Father has always talked about. It is extremely hard and is most suitable for building palaces. It can ensure that trillions of yuan will never perish."
"That old man Taiqing is indeed incredibly wealthy!"
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt a pang of embarrassment, chuckled lightly, and shook his head: "Hehe."
"The only ones who dare to call themselves the first sage of the primordial world 'old man' are you three siblings."
It's not wrong to say that Lao Tzu was the first sage in the primordial world.
After all, Hongjun had already attained the Dao and was eternally suppressing chaos, so he could no longer be considered a primordial saint.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Su Yi, who had just been gentle and charming, suddenly had a glint in her eyes and said coldly, "Does that old man Taiqing even deserve to be called the number one sage of the primordial world?"
"If you ask me, him? He's not even fit to carry my dad's shoes!"
Indeed, in their hearts, only that Dao Ancestor could be compared to their father.
"Hmm? What makes you say that?"
Tongtian admired the spirit of these children.
Even though he didn't want to admit it, he still couldn't deny Lao Tzu's power.
How do you know?
Su Yi was usually well-behaved, but today she acted out of character, disdainfully saying, "As the leader of the Human Cult, he established his sect and became a saint by relying on the immortal fortune of the human race, taking away forty percent of the human race's fortune. It's equivalent to receiving an immense favor from the human race!"
"But what did he do?"
"What was he doing while humans were being eaten by demons?"
"acquiescence?"
"That human Xuandu is exceptionally talented and should have led the human race to resist the demon race."
"But in order to sever ties with the human race, he forcibly took Xuandu into his fold, causing Xuandu to hate the human race."
"It is his duty to spread the word to humanity."
"But what about him?"
"The emasculated Golden Elixir Dao was passed down, resulting in the absence of a single Golden Immortal in the human race for hundreds of millions of years."
"The legacy of Nuwa will last for nine generations before being cut off."
"Isn't the fact that humanity has now been reduced to the most lowly existence in the primordial world the doing of the person you call the first sage of the primordial world?"
"They divide up destiny, yet they disregard humanity!"
"What is a sage? He is a person of high moral character and great wisdom."
"His virtue is unworthy of his position; how can he be called the foremost sage?"
Although Su Yi is gentle and kind, she still cannot quell her indignation when faced with matters of principle.
At this moment, not only Tongtian Jiaozhu, but also Duobao Daoren and Zhao Gongming beside him were shocked!
Is this really the kind of insight a child with a bone age of five could gain?
Every word you say makes perfect sense!
Every word is piercing to the heart!
Humanity, thanks to the blessings of the goddess Nuwa, was given a new life and lived in ignorance in the primordial world.
Later, Lao Tzu established a great religion for the human race and attained sainthood.
This race, which should have been protected by two saints, has now fallen to become the most lowly race among all races.
sad!
Sigh!
The reason for all this is simply that the two saints took away ninety percent of the human race's fortune.
Without the blessing of good fortune, the human race would have no chance to produce even a single Golden Immortal, let alone a Great Luo Golden Immortal. After the primordial human race was almost wiped out, it would have been difficult to even support a Golden Immortal.
As long as sages exist, so will great thieves!
What's most infuriating is this first saint of the primordial era!
He did nothing, yet he gained the greatest benefit from the human race!
But is all of this really something that a human child should be able to comprehend?
Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming were completely shocked.
However, only the Tongtian Sect Master knew that not only Laozi, but also the other four saints, were all beneficiaries of the human race.
If it weren't for the goddess Nuwa creating the human race...
Why did Lao Tzu establish teachings for humanity?
Lao Tzu did not establish a teaching for humanity, so how did the two sages of the West, Yuanshi and Tongtian, come to realize the importance of establishing a teaching and becoming sages?
This is why, even though humanity was the most humble race in later generations, it still became the protagonist of the world.
Everything in the world has a cause and an effect.
All of this is owed to humanity by the sage.
However, through this insight, Tongtian became even more convinced that the father of these three mischievous children was the reincarnation of Rahu!
The principles and the spirit behind this are beyond the comprehension of anyone but those with great supernatural powers.
Before his fall, Rahu had already attained the rank of Quasi-Saint, and was only one step away from becoming a Saint. How could these Saints compare to him?
In an instant, Tongtian gained a clearer understanding of his true nature and was determined to bring Luo Hou into the Jie Sect.
"Young friend, you have such insight! You are truly a talented person with limitless potential."
"In your opinion, young friend, among the six sages, who is worthy of the title of the first sage of the primordial world?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yi replied without hesitation, "I'll die."
But before she could pronounce the word "father" correctly, Su Chen covered her mouth and chuckled awkwardly, "Hehehe."
"What my second sister wants to say is that my father said I'm the most intelligent of the three of us, so I should answer this question for you, senior!"
He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he had managed to stop it.
He remembered clearly that his father had repeatedly told them not to reveal his cultivation level when they were outside.
Even they didn't know just how high Su Han's cultivation level was.
Now, the senior before us is a member of the Jie Sect.
If they said that Tongtian deserved the title of the First Sage, wouldn't that make it easier to get closer to him?
By then, how far will it be from rescuing my mother?
"Actually, Senior Tongtong, how old are we? We really don't know much about the primordial world, and we don't even know what the sages are capable of."
"But based on what Father said, I think that your Tongtian Sect Leader is the one who truly deserves the title of the First Sage of the Primordial World!"
Upon hearing this, Tongtian was quite surprised.
"Cough cough."
He coughed twice, almost spitting out the tea he had just drunk.
He knew his own limitations.
In terms of cultivation, he was far inferior to his two elder brothers.
Aside from having a large number of disciples, it doesn't have many other advantages.
However, it was truly delightful to hear these words coming from the mouths of several innocent and ignorant children.
The less experienced a person is, the purer they are.
He absolutely did not believe that these innocent little children would lie.
Especially when he looked into Su Chen's bright and clear eyes, which were so sincere, he was completely stunned.
These children have unique insights and are quite genuine and spontaneous, which makes them really lovable.
Rahu, Rahu, I truly envy you!
However, compared to Rahu, the father, Tongtian became more curious about what kind of extraordinary woman could help Rahu raise these three good children.
Their mother must have been a wonderful person.
If only we could all be brought into the Jie Sect together!
