Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Of course, we must exclude the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, since these clans were dominant forces in ancient times, and even so, they would not be integrated into the demon race.

Moreover, in Li Xiuyuan's mind, although the three clans had declined, they still possessed some of the necessary foundations; otherwise, they would not have lived up to their status.

The four mythical beasts from ancient times still exist, and those who have survived to this day are all masters at the supreme level.

What is a "perfect person"? It is someone who is above the quasi-sage but below the sage. For example, the three sovereigns of the human race in ancient times were perfect people.

Therefore, even if several clans have declined, as long as they have a supreme being as their body, not many people will provoke them. Of course, unless it is a saint-level being, but even then, it won't be too much.

After discussing the topic at length, all the great shamans came over together. As their leader, Li Xiuyuan naturally had to receive them. Moreover, their respect for Li Xiuyuan was not just superficial; it came from the bottom of their hearts.

The most important factor is that the great shamans all possess Li Xiuyuan's bloodline, and in his presence, they cannot help but feel a sense of submission, even the most arrogant Ying Zheng.

Speaking of Ying Zheng, he was one of the twelve ancestral witches that Li Xiuyuan had brought into existence. At the time, he was just thinking of giving a few people some cool names. Unexpectedly, they all lived up to expectations and became more and more like those historical figures!

For example, Xiang Yu was unmatched in strength; neither Bai Qi nor Xue Rengui could compare to him.

Chapter 421 Development of the Witch Clan

Then there's Xue Rengui. Perhaps he can't compare to Xiang Yu, but he's still quite extraordinary. Most importantly, he's a simple-minded and honest person, and he has an enormous appetite.

Even masters at the level of a great sorcerer often enjoy eating. Then there's Bai Qi, a man with immense killing intent. No wonder he was the Lord of Wu'an who could annihilate 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao state. Although this Bai Qi is not the same as the other Bai Qi, he is even more awesome!

As Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, several people had already entered. These people were all burly, with bronze skin that shone like metal. Moreover, they were far more powerful than the ordinary shamans standing guard outside.

Just looking at the twelve people, their overwhelming aura was enough to make one feel breathless, but in front of Li Xiuyuan, it was as if they didn't exist. The people had different personalities, some were arrogant, some were domineering, and some were scheming.

"Greetings, Ancestral Witch!"

Several people bowed respectfully. These people all possessed Li Xiuyuan's bloodline. No matter how powerful they were normally, they would be suppressed in front of him, as if it were innate.

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon seeing this. Whether it was the proud Xiang Yu, the arrogant Ying Zheng, or the murderous Bai Qi, they could only bow their heads in his presence.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "No need for formalities!"

After saying that, he glanced at the group and said, "I have come here to see your progress in cultivation. I wonder what level you have reached after more than ten years."

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone and immediately understood what was going on in his mind.

The twelve witches before them were all at the Golden Immortal realm. Because they cultivated the Witch Clan's Heavenly Overlord Body Technique, their physical bodies were extremely powerful.

Another point worth mentioning is that they cannot cultivate their primordial spirit, unlike Li Xiuyuan who can.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense; the essence of these people was still brought forth by external forces, just like other great shamans.

"If the Ancestral Witch is interested, she can test us."

As he spoke, Bai Qi said coldly. That was just his personality; he gave people a cold feeling, as if the person in front of him was an iceberg that would never melt in a thousand years.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up as he listened. He saw that the confidence of the group had soared, and he also wanted to see their combat strength. After all, cultivation level and combat strength are two completely different things.

Just like Zhang Wuji in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, when he first came out of the valley, he had a strong internal force, but he didn't know how to use it, so he was not much stronger than an ordinary person.

Although these individuals are at the Golden Immortal realm, it remains to be seen how much of their power they can unleash!

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, and with a single teleport, he had taken everyone away. He was very familiar with the laws of space, and now he was able to take everyone in the space around him with him.

.................................................. .................................................. .........................................

Li Xiuyuan led all the great shamans to the outside of the main hall. The entire Lesser Thousand World was quite desolate, unlike the Primordial Great World, which had the corpses of three thousand demon gods as materials, so the spiritual energy was very abundant.

Even after so long, there is still enough spiritual energy. Of course, it will eventually run out! Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, after all, there is no such thing as a long period of time in this world, unless one is a true immortal.

Even the mighty Pangu eventually perished. Therefore, Li Xiuyuan's ultimate goal is to become an immortal. To become an immortal, one must become the strongest and indestructible. Only in this way can one avoid being killed.

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, then calmly said, "Alright, you can make your move now. Let me see your strength."

As he spoke, several Ancestral Witches rushed forward without hesitation. Although Li Xiuyuan was suppressing these people, there were not many rules in the Witch Clan. After seeing that Li Xiuyuan had spoken, they began to launch their attack.

In an instant, a fierce wind arose, and the area within a hundred miles was enveloped by violent energy. More than ten people attacked Li Xiuyuan at the same time, but he was not afraid at all.

After all, I taught these people their magical abilities!

Thinking to himself, Li Xiuyuan clenched his right hand, making it look like a fist that could split the heavens and earth, and slammed it directly at the group of people. His strength was greater than that of the Great Shamans, and he was using the Law of Power.

The Law of Power emphasizes that one force can overcome all techniques. Under overwhelming power, any move is futile. Although these people are quite powerful, they are far inferior to Li Xiuyuan.

Therefore, in almost an instant, everyone was defeated by Li Xiuyuan, as if they had no power to resist at all.

Li Xiuyuan glanced around at the people lying on the ground and said calmly, "Although you are all experts at the Golden Immortal level, in my opinion you are still lacking. Only by truly experiencing the trials of life and death can you break through and become a true Great Witch."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Therefore, I have decided to send you out to gain experience."

As he spoke, he thought to himself that because he possessed human blood, even the great shamans who were born from the infusion of Pangu's essence blood also had human blood.

These people looked like human shamans. As for Li Xiuyuan sending them out to make their way in the world, he hoped that they could grow stronger.

Of course, there was another reason: Li Xiuyuan's power needed to be developed. Only in this way could he obtain a large number of merit points and sin points, he thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, all the great shamans were overjoyed. They had known that they had been confined to the Pangu Palace since birth, so being able to venture out was naturally a great relief.

Several people replied, "Yes, thank you, Ancestral Witch!"

Having said that, they all wanted to share in the joy.

Chapter 422 On Flower and Fruit Mountain

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up. He nodded inwardly. The others had already left, and it was time for him to head to Dongsheng Shenzhou to arrange the Journey to the West plan, the first step of which was to recruit disciples.

Li Xiuyuan pondered this, and after some calculation, he discovered that the birth of the stone monkey was imminent. Then, Li Xiuyuan quickly departed, taking the World Tree with him and placing it in the small world of the Pangu Palace, where it remained rooted without causing the slightest ripple in the chaos.

The small world within the Pangu Palace is extremely desolate. If the World Tree were to reside there, it might be able to change the situation and greatly improve the originally barren world.

With a thought, Li Xiuyuan was already tens of millions of miles away in an instant. Since entering the Quasi-Saint realm, this spatial law has made him move even faster. However, he felt that this was the limit.

It turns out that ever since Li Xiuyuan began studying the laws, he found that he could no longer make any progress after entering the Quasi-Saint realm. He reasoned that perhaps the path of the laws was simply impassable. No wonder the ancient witch clan did not use the laws to attain enlightenment.

The laws are indeed incredibly powerful. Any one of the three thousand gods and demons is probably more powerful than a saint. They are born with control over a law, corresponding to the three thousand Great Daos.

In Li Xiuyuan's mind, the reason why the Chaos Demon God was able to control the laws was probably because of the Primordial Purple Qi! Each complete strand of Primordial Purple Qi has a law, and as long as one can control it, it will be extremely powerful.

Although Li Xiuyuan has the ability to study various laws, he is still far from being able to fully understand them. Therefore, he feels that he will find it difficult to make a breakthrough in the laws of space or the laws of power.

Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan's Saint Buddha System is incredibly powerful. It is possible to exchange for Primordial Purple Qi that possesses laws, but the required merit points and sin points vary greatly depending on the laws.

For example, the most common water and fire laws only require five million merit points, comparable to a supreme innate treasure. The more powerful space laws, time laws, and power laws start at least at ten million, with the power law being the most expensive.

Li Xiuyuan naturally wouldn't give up, so he needed to accumulate more merit points and sin points. This was why he was so anxious to get all the great witches to leave the Pangu Palace.

Because Li Xiuyuan has human blood, those great shamans are not pure members of the shaman race. In the eyes of others, they seem to be members of the shaman race with human blood. The arrival of so many great shamans in the prehistoric world must cause quite a stir!

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that he had even passed down the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons, but he didn't know if Ying Zheng could forge the Twelve Bronze Men. If he could, he could indirectly gain a lot of sin points.

Perhaps! Some people think that Li Xiuyuan has no bottom line, actually supporting Ying Zheng's actions, but he has never admitted that he is a good person. After all, with the 'Saint Buddha System', he is destined to do more bad things, otherwise how would he gain sin points!

..................................................................................

No image exists in the ten directions, no trace exists in the six realms.

Transcending the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements!

The Stone Monkey resides in Flower Fruit Mountain, Aolai Kingdom, in the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory. This kingdom is near the sea, and in the sea stands a mountain called Flower Fruit Mountain.

This mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents and the source of the three islands. It stood since the separation of the pure and the impure, and was formed after the creation of heaven and earth. Right at the top of that mountain, there is a celestial stone.

The stone is 36 feet 5 inches high and 24 feet in circumference. The height of 36 feet 5 inches corresponds to the 365 degrees of the celestial sphere; the circumference of 24 feet corresponds to the 24 solar terms of the Chinese calendar.

It has nine orifices and eight openings, corresponding to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. Since the beginning of time, it has received the essence of heaven and earth, the radiance of the sun and moon. After a long period of being touched by these, it developed spiritual awareness and nurtured a celestial embryo within.

At this moment, the spiritual energy of the entire Flower Fruit Mountain was boiling. The sky was filled with spiritual energy, which was glowing with a pale green light. This spiritual energy was so tangible that it all surged toward the giant rock on the mountaintop.

Meanwhile, the monsters on Flower Fruit Mountain were all incredibly surprised. What on earth was this strange thing? They all rushed up to see its true appearance.

On Flower Fruit Mountain, the most numerous creatures were monkeys, which came up the mountain in groups. In addition, there were various strange animals and plants. These creatures all possessed their own intelligence. Although they did not have cultivation techniques, the spiritual energy in Flower Fruit Mountain was abundant.

Some powerful monkeys, though unable to transform into human form, have reached the primordial spirit realm. As for powerful human immortals, there are some, but as for those even more powerful, I haven't actually seen any.

Indeed, Li Xiuyuan was already standing in the air above Huaguo Mountain. He looked down at Huaguo Mountain and saw that the mountaintop was shrouded in mist, giving him a hazy feeling as if he were in a fairyland. Although Huaguo Mountain was in the Earthly Immortal Realm, it was truly a blessed land that few could compare to.

After seeing the situation at Flower Fruit Mountain, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "There should be some powerful monsters here, so it seems they should be driven away."

Otherwise, how could such a blessed land as Flower Fruit Mountain not even have a mere Earth Immortal-level demon? After all, the Stone Monkey is related to the layout of the Buddhist Journey to the West, and no one would be allowed to disrupt it.

In Li Xiuyuan's mind, he was definitely not the only one in the Buddhist sect. There might be others in the shadows protecting the stone monkey, and he was just the one in the open!

As Li Xiuyuan pondered this, he couldn't help but focus his gaze on the stone monkey. At this moment, not only was he watching, but many powerful beings in the Three Realms were also observing.

Li Xiuyuan appeared directly on the summit of Huaguo Mountain without dodging or avoiding, his powerful arrival startling everyone.

Chapter 423 The Stone Monkey is Born

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's aura was incredibly powerful, impervious to all evil. He stood there, yet his overwhelming presence was palpable. The onlookers were all secretly astonished. This man was the master of the Stone Monkey. No wonder he was valued by the Sage.

Meanwhile, many powerful beings in the Three Realms were secretly shocked when they saw Li Xiuyuan enter the Quasi-Saint realm, because his aura was no weaker than any Quasi-Saint powerhouse, and he had entered the realm with both his physical body and primordial spirit, and even severed two of his three corpses.

It's unclear what treasure Li Xiuyuan used to kill him, but considering that Buddhist magic treasures are rare and even scarce, it's likely that he's no different from an ordinary Buddhist quasi-saint, entrusting his three corpses to the golden body!

These are the saints Zhunti and Jieyin. The Buddhist practice was very impoverished, with few Dharma treasures, so they created this method. However, it does not require innate spiritual treasures, and while it has advantages, it also has disadvantages.

The advantage is that it eliminates the need for innate spiritual treasures, and even those without innate spiritual treasures can still reach the Quasi-Saint realm.

As for the downsides, although he saved on the innate spiritual treasure and successfully entered the quasi-saint realm, he was undoubtedly much weaker than those quasi-saints who used innate spiritual treasures to slay corpses when fighting others.

As everyone was thinking this, they suddenly heard a deafening sound. All eyes turned to Flower Fruit Mountain, where spiritual energy was surging on the mountaintop, accompanied by a rumbling sound.

Li Xiuyuan gazed intently, and saw that the might of Wangyang and Yaohai was overwhelming: the might of Wangyang caused the tides to surge like silver mountains and fish to retreat into their burrows; the might of Yaohai caused the waves to churn like snow and mirages to leave the abyss. High mounds of earth accumulated in the corners of water and fire, towering peaks rose in the eastern sea. Red cliffs and strange rocks, sheer walls and wondrous peaks.
