Chapter 19: Taiji Nine Impacts Lesser Vehicle Duobao Method

Her five fingers made subtle gestures, and a mysterious aura swirled at her fingertips. After a moment, the Goddess showed a slightly strange expression. Even with her current divine abilities, she could not deduce the identity of the mastermind.

“Tribulation Qi is growing, and the Heavenly Secrets are obscured!”

This goddess gently shook her head; this was probably also due to that Dao Lord.

…

Since its establishment, one word had resonated across the vast wilderness among the numerous tribes.

Wu!

In an unnamed mountain range, a sorcerer draped in gray-brown feathered robes quietly opened his eyes. His gaze fell overhead, where a strange black-gray shadow flashed past.

That was a peculiar bird!

A bamboo tally landed in his palm. Wu Ning opened his eyes, his expression cold and profound.

Wu Ning was a sorcerer from one of the northern demon and god tribes, holding great authority. Within his tribe, he was also one of the most promising great wizards to ascend to Wu God.

“The order from above is to investigate the changes in the Human Race…”

Muttering to himself, the brown-yellow pupils in Wu Ning’s eyes contracted. He stood up instantly, a charred black bone staff in his hand. Countless terrifying wraiths appeared around him, transforming into a black wind that tore through the mountains, racing toward the direction of the Human Race.

…

“As for family names, they are inheritance—like ancient totems. Even if we are no longer here one day, our descendants will never forget the great deeds of our ancestors who cleared the wilderness and established themselves in the Primordial World. This is a gift left for our progeny!”

“As long as one descendant remains, our family name will be passed down forever!”

“Passed down forever? That’s wonderful!”

Yunxiangshi murmured to himself, growing more excited the more he thought about it.

Even the usually silent sorcerer Bone Blade beside him became exceptionally excited, tightly clenching his fist.

The discussion about family names struck a chord with all three present.

Since the birth of the Human Race in the vast wilderness, countless tribes had been lost in the storms and waves. Even the Yunxiangshi tribe could not clearly say which ancestral tribe they descended from!

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and continued.

“As for the Nine Rites, they are to match temples and establish hierarchy, also prepared for the origin of family names. Only the strongest warriors, sorcerers, and tribesmen who have contributed to the tribe will have this honor…”

Lin Yuan slightly modified the traditional Nine Rites, removing some outdated parts, such as the “village drinking” from the nine rites of capping, marriage, court, appointment, mourning, sacrifice, guest-host, village drinking, and military affairs.

“That’s exactly how it should be!”

If the first suggestion left the three of them hesitant, the second and third struck right at their hearts.

The second and third were entirely for the higher-ups of the tribe, which could both enhance the tribe’s cohesion and strengthen the sense of belonging among the tribesmen.

Excited, Yunxiangshi and Bone Blade hurried back to the Central Temple after listening, preparing to gather the tribesmen to discuss the sacrificial ceremony, determine various clan rules, and the distribution of power.

“Brother Dao is truly a great sage. Such methods are enough to make our Yunxiangshi famous!”

Chisongzi smiled, secretly pleased. Winning over this recluse from Misty Mountain was truly one of the best decisions he had ever made.

“We share both prosperity and adversity with Yunxiangshi, so naturally, we will do our utmost!”

Lin Yuan waved his hand and then looked at Chisongzi, asking:

“Brother Dao, does the Yunxiangshi tribe’s treasury have refined metals, rare iron, or other spiritual materials?”

Lin Yuan remembered the “Taiji Nine Impacts Lesser Vehicle Duobao Method” in his hand!

Chisongzi showed a curious look. “Does Brother Dao wish to forge a treasure?”

Demon God Dao Lords had long had the habit of refining treasures. A handy Magical Artifact could save one’s life at a critical moment, though many demon gods had never seen a true Innate Treasure. They only made imitations, many of which were not very effective.

However, among the Wu Sect’s demon gods, many were skilled at forging treasures, producing many powerful witch tools that were extremely formidable.

After a moment’s thought, Chisongzi nodded. “There are some, but quite a few were used up by us not long ago!”

Chisongzi looked somewhat embarrassed; he was quite fond of forging artifacts.

“No matter!”

Lin Yuan did not mind. The Primordial World was vast and rich, and many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were not hard to find. At worst, he would go and gather them himself.

Seeing this, Chisongzi nodded. The two immediately headed to the treasury, but just as they reached the entrance, a tribesman hurried over.

“Hei Jiao, weren’t you leading the hunting team on a hunt? Why have you returned to the tribe alone?” Chisongzi was slightly taken aback, his expression immediately turning gloomy.

This made him think of some unpleasant possibilities.

His gaze swept over the tribesman, carrying a hint of coldness.

“The tribesmen are still in place. Hei Jiao returned ahead to report urgent matters to the Great Elder!” Seeming to take a deep breath, the tribesman looked at Chisongzi and Lin Yuan and said:

“We discovered a Spiritual Root!”

Spiritual Root?

Both Chisongzi and Lin Yuan reacted, with Chisongzi’s eyes brightening especially.

Chisongzi asked eagerly: “Where is this Spiritual Root now?”

Spiritual Roots had many uses. Their fruits could be refined into elixirs, and the roots themselves could be forged into treasures. Once forged into a treasure, its grade and power would certainly be high.

They could also stabilize a tribe’s Fortune, truly precious beyond measure!

Lin Yuan’s gaze was somewhat peculiar. He was a Spiritual Root that had taken human form, but after transforming, he had lost many of his original functions, though he remained exceptionally marvelous.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was not as enthusiastic about the Spiritual Root as Chisongzi was.

That Spiritual Root might not possess the marvels of his own original body!

“The other members of the hunting team are keeping watch!”

Pausing briefly, the tribesman named Hei Jiao added:

“Moreover, another group of Witch Clan cultivators also discovered this Spiritual Root?”

“In that case, I must go personally!” Chisongzi looked at Lin Yuan, who smiled and said:

“We’ve already reached the treasury, Brother Dao, please go ahead!”

Nodding lightly, Chisongzi was clearly very concerned about this Spiritual Root. He left in a hurry with Hei Jiao, while Lin Yuan entered the treasury alone.

The so-called treasury was actually a cave dug by Yunxiangshi into Misty Mountain. The Primordial Spiritual Energy here was exceptionally rich. Outside the cave, several guarding cultivators saluted when they saw Lin Yuan approaching.

Lin Yuan, the Second Elder, held a revered position in Yunxiangshi. Many cultivators had personally sought guidance from this Second Elder.

Many also knew that this Second Elder’s strength might be far more terrifying than even the strongest Great Elder, the sorcerer Bone Blade.

One of the cultivators, after saluting, proactively opened the treasury door. With just a glance, Lin Yuan inwardly sighed in relief.

Though Chisongzi had wasted quite a few spiritual materials, there were still many good things in the treasury. At first glance, Lin Yuan recognized several heavenly materials and earthly treasures recorded in the “Taiji Nine Impacts Lesser Vehicle Duobao Method.”

For example, the fist-sized Western Taibai True Gold, the small pile of Crimson Fire Divine Sand. According to the “Taiji Nine Impacts Lesser Vehicle Duobao Method,” these were produced in many perilous lands and were extremely rare forging materials.

“If the masters of the Dharma Lineage from the Main World could enter the Primordial World, they would probably go mad with excitement!”

Lin Yuan could not help but feel emotional!

Lin Yuan needed to forge a superior treasure for subduing demons and protecting himself.
