ShiTian surveyed the present-day Dashan Tribe... Because of him and the Three Pure Ones, the Dashan Tribe had grown ever larger. Neighboring tribes, aware of their leader's power, had brought their entire tribes to join them.
Originally, the Dashan Tribe numbered no more than a few thousand, but now... it was approaching ten thousand.
"It's been a year since I came to the Primordial World. Time to go back and take a look,"
he muttered to himself. "Besides, there's a lot of Body Tempering Fluid accumulated, enough for the Shi Village members to advance. And then there's all that land..."
For the past year, besides cultivating with the Three Pure Ones, he'd been slaying beastmen, extracting their precious blood to brew Body Tempering Fluid, and... scavenging the land!
Indeed.
This was the pre-Sage Era, when innate spiritual energy was practically free. Even the weeds and land nourished by it were valuable!
While refining with Yuqing, he had crafted a storage ring. He couldn't possibly store everything in his mind, could he?
The storage ring had been overflowing over the past year. Bringing weeds and dirt to Shi Village would undoubtedly transform the village's environment,
transforming it into a formidable sacred place for cultivation.
Add to that the Willow God's protection, and this time... little Shi Hao would definitely not be alone; the entire village would be with him!
Thinking of this, Shi Tian stood up and sought out Feng, the former leader of the Dashan Tribe.
"Chief!"
Feng clasped his fists respectfully and saluted. "I wonder what the chief wants from me?"
Over the past year, the humans of the Dashan Tribe, listening to Shi Tian's chatter, have become more articulate, no longer stumbling. This was especially noticeable with Feng.
He was arguably the second-in-command of the Dashan Tribe, with Dashanshi of the hunting team being third. Normally, he and Dashanshi managed the tribe.
"I will soon be in seclusion, and I don't know how long this will last."
Shi Tian sat on a boulder, looking at Feng. "Therefore, I will leave full control of the tribe in your hands, Dashanshi, to properly manage it."
"I'm in seclusion, a death retreat. If the tribe is in any danger, lead the people away if necessary. I will set up restrictions in the stone house, so there will be no danger."
This time back in Perfect World, a year had passed. Little Bit would have been two years old. The plot began when Little Bit was three, and Shi Tian's return was a pre-emptive move.
While he couldn't stay forever, he definitely had to deal with some matters, like the mountain treasures Maoqiu and Zhuque were fighting over, and the Butian Pavilion...
Shi Tian was deeply concerned about the Butian Pavilion, and the sect couldn't be destroyed.
If he left, it was unclear whether the Three Pure Ones would leave, so... he had to make advance arrangements.
Feng was straightforward, bowing immediately: "Feng, I obey!"
Since the leader had said so, what was there to worry about? Wouldn't it be okay to just agree?
After Feng left, Shi Tian looked at the elder Taiqing, the middle-aged Yuqing, and the young Shangqing...
He stood up and saluted the three from the boulder.
They smiled and looked at their brothers, their eyes filled with a thousand words...
Neither of them said a word, yet... it felt like everything was said.
Then, he jumped off the boulder and entered his stone house within the tribe...
"Buzz!"
In an instant!
With a thought, the two-meter-high purple-gold vortex from a year ago suddenly appeared before him!
The vortex shifted rapidly, and soon a scene appeared.
It was the forest he had left.
Shi Tian turned his head and looked at the door. As if it were being watched, he smiled and waved...
Then he walked in...
...
outside the house.
The young man Shangqing Tongtian sat on the top of a large tree, stroking his chin, and whispered, "This world is different. The great way is incomplete, the laws are incomplete..."
"But it's suitable for this kid to practice."
"Well... this kid's cultivation is low, but his talent is still decent."
The middle-aged man Yuqing also nodded. "Judging from his past year, he has scraped so much land, it should be for his relatives in this world. Not bad."
"You guys..."
The old man Taiqing shook his head helplessly, but before he could finish his words, Shangqing Tongtian interrupted with a smile: "Brother, this boy has decent talent, but he has great opportunities. How can I give up on him?"
"Humph! Third brother... the morality you practice should go against his way!"
"Second brother, you are wrong. There is a saying that there are fifty great ways and forty-nine ways of heaven. If you escape one, it is a ray of hope. I am for all things in the world, so what if billions of lives take that ray of hope?" "
It is second brother who interprets the will of heaven. The way of heaven is not complete. The teacher can only complete the way of heaven by merging with the way of heaven, but... looking at this boy's martial arts, we can see that how can the way of heaven be completed?"
"Three thousand Daos, three thousand gods, three thousand demons, the Heavenly Dao Palm, but can three thousand be completed? Never!"
Yuqing Yuanshi snorted coldly: "How can this matter be so arbitrary? The Dao can be complete or incomplete, the Dao can be complete or incomplete, the Dao cannot be defined by living beings, and the teacher cannot define the Dao!"
The latest novel is published here!
"I expound on the Dao of Heaven, and I should achieve great harmony. Following the will of Heaven is the general trend!"
"Why did the second brother pass on his own Dao to this child?"
Shangqing Tongtian rolled his eyes: "The second brother is good at killing and then the Dao of Instruments. Although he has also comprehended other Daos, these two Daos are the most amazing. The Dao of Killing can open three thousand heavens in a year of chaotic evil energy. The origin of Instruments can create hundreds of millions of spiritual treasures in one breath."
"Yet these two Daos were passed on to that kid..."
"That boy isn't from my realm. If he follows the will of Heaven, he should be called a heretic and beheaded!"
"Second brother... it's clear that your doctrine isn't truly in accordance with Heaven's Way, nor with Heaven's will!"
"Ridiculous!"
"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth: major trends cannot be reversed,
but minor trends can be altered!" "Although this boy is from outside our realm, haven't the three thousand Dao realms of Heaven and Earth ever been so popular?"
"No. We can all open three thousand realms, and the beings within them are also outsiders. How is this boy any different?"
"I teach the Great Dao, and I must follow Heaven's will. By accepting this
boy as my disciple, his heart must also be in accordance with Heaven's Way!" "Humph! Second brother, you teach the Great Dao, but haven't I taught it yet? But I haven't said much. I found this boy interesting, so I accepted him as my disciple!"
...
Shangqing Tongtian and Yuqing Yuanshi kept nagging, and the old man Taiqing Laozi didn't stop them. Instead, he just watched...
Yuqing and Shangqing could be said to have opposite doctrines.
One embodies Heaven's Way and follows Heaven's will.
One intercepts life force, against the will of Heaven.
Opposite paths are like Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, incompatible as fire and water.
But now... they
all have their eyes on this fellow Shi Tian.
Originally, the three brothers were very close. Even during the period when the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn were in a three-way competition, Shang Qing blocked a fatal blow for Yu Qing, and Yu Qing angrily killed the other Daluo Jinxian!
Although this Daluo Jinxian will return in the future, after all, once a Daluo Jinxian attains eternal enlightenment, it is a sign of immortality, but from this we can see that the three brothers had a very good relationship at that time.
Because of this incident, Yu Qing dislikes those who wear scales and armor and are like wet hair eggs...
But now, there is a bit of an incompatibility between them. Who knows the reason behind this?
