Hu Le was preaching to Fuxi in the temple when a small white snake sneaked into the backyard. Before it could even eavesdrop for a couple of minutes, it was discovered by the Red Jade Boy.
If Hu Le himself had discovered it, that would have been fine; given his status, he wouldn't have done anything to this mere little snake.
But it was the Red Jade Boy who discovered it.
As the attendant of the cult leader, she naturally had to step in to resolve this matter for her master. With a swipe of her white jade ruyi, she instantly annihilated it.
The Red Jade Boy carried the white snake's corpse and casually tossed it outside the back door before returning to the front hall and continuing to stand guard at the hall's entrance.
Before long, Hu Le had finished reciting a scroll of Taoist scriptures.
As the lingering Taoist chants dissipated in the wind, Fuxi slowly opened his eyes.
In just a short while, he had successfully laid the foundation for his Dao and entered the level of a cultivator.
But his gains were not limited to that; he also gleaned many profound truths about the universe from the contents of the Taoist scriptures.
He sat on the prayer mat for a while, then quickly remembered that Hu Le was still opposite him, so he bowed down and paid his respects.
"Thank you, Venerable One, for passing on the Great Way."
Hu Le nodded slightly, glanced at Fuxi, and seeing that he had already entered the Dao, said calmly, "I am Xuanxiang Tianzun, the founder of the Daoist sect. I have calculated that you and I have a predestined master-disciple relationship, so I have come here specifically to accept you as my disciple. I wonder if you are willing to become my disciple?"
Although Fuxi was young, he knew who Xuanxiang, the founder of Taoism, was.
When he heard the name Xuanxiang at the foot of the mountain, he already had some guesses in his mind.
At first, he wasn't quite sure if the "mysterious phenomenon" he heard was the same "mysterious phenomenon" he had in mind.
Who, then, is this "mysterious figure" in his mind?
That is the Lord of Heaven, the Supreme Human Emperor, and the Primordial Supreme Master of the Chaos, who should be sitting in the Heavenly Palace, in charge of the operation of the Heavenly Dao. How could he possibly appear in such a desolate place as Tiandu Mountain...
But now that the Xuanxiang Sect Master had personally revealed his name, he immediately confirmed the identity of the person before him.
Let alone how profound the Taoist scriptures passed down by the other party were.
No one dares to impersonate the leader of Taoism unless that person is tired of living and unafraid of being struck dead by divine lightning...
When Fuxi heard that Hu Le was going to take him as a disciple, he felt extremely honored and how could he possibly disagree?
"Disciple Fuxi pays respects to his teacher."
Fuxi prostrated himself again and performed the grand ceremony of master and disciple.
“Excellent! From now on you will be my disciple.”
As Hu Le spoke, he took out a dusty gray seal from his sleeve and held it in his palm with one hand.
This item is none other than the Kongtong Seal, a supreme treasure of humanity.
It should have been radiant with countless rays of light and auspicious colors.
However, Hu Le deliberately suppressed the treasure's brilliance, making it appear to be nothing more than an ordinary seal.
He planned to give this item to Fuxi so that he could use it to gather the destiny of the human emperor. The reason he concealed the treasure's light was simply because he was afraid that the treasure was too dazzling and would cause trouble for Fuxi.
His cultivation level is still shallow, and if someone tries to steal the treasure, he may not be able to handle it.
Even after the precious light has been concealed, the Kongtong Seal remains infinitely useful, and it won't prevent Fuxi from using it to attain the status of Human Emperor...
Fuxi stepped forward and entered the hall, extending both hands to receive the Kongtong Seal. He bowed and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure upon me."
Although he didn't know what kind of treasure the Kongtong Seal was, how could it be anything less than something made by a sage like the sect leader? Without thinking twice, he thanked him first...
Hu Le immediately taught him a method for refining spiritual treasures.
Having obtained the method for refining treasures, Fuxi didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began refining it on the spot. With Hu Le's secret assistance, Fuxi completed the process of the treasure recognizing its master in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...
Fuxi gently tossed the Kongtong Seal in his hand, and the precious seal instantly transformed into a wisp of spiritual light, which he swallowed whole and nurtured within his body using his magical power…
At this moment, the kingfisher on the tree in front of the door had fully activated its phoenix bloodline. Its emerald green feathers had turned black at some point, and it had completely transformed into a Nine Heavens Mystic Bird.
The bird took flight, flew merrily in the sky, and emitted a series of clear chirps.
A moment later, the bird landed and touched the ground with its head outside the hall, as if to pay its respects.
Hu Le smiled slightly upon seeing this, and with a wave of his hand, he captured the black bird in his palm. "You bird are quite fortunate. From now on, you will cultivate with my disciple."
As he spoke, he gently tossed the bird in his hand into the air. The black bird spread its wings and circled around Fuxi once before landing on his shoulder.
Fuxi reached out and stroked the back of the black bird twice, feeling the feathers as warm and smooth as if they were carved from jade...
After successfully becoming an apprentice, Fuxi did not stay in the Taoist temple for long and soon left.
For some time afterward, Fuxi helped his mother Huaxu with clan affairs while traveling to and from Tiandu Mountain, occasionally seeking advice from Hu Le on matters of cultivation...
Time passed day by day, and Fuxi gradually grew into adulthood.
One day, Huaxu felt that he was old and frail, so he passed on the position of tribal chief to Fuxi.
After assuming the position of clan leader, Fuxi immediately got busy.
Hu Le felt that he had taught Fuxi enough about the Taoist magic and supernatural powers, so he bid farewell to Fuxi and returned to the Heavenly Palace on Mount Buzhou...
After becoming the clan leader, Fuxi made many inventions and creations, laying an incredibly solid foundation for the future prosperity of the human race.
He invented fishing nets after observing spider webs, taught his people how to use them to catch fish, then taught them how to tame wild animals, and finally established marriage customs.
Later, they invented musical instruments such as the ocarina and the zither, and composed music, bringing spiritual nourishment to the people...
Because of Fuxi's outstanding achievements among the human race, his virtuous reputation spread throughout the surrounding human communities.
One day, the Supreme Lord of the Primordial Chaos, the Human Emperor, issued a decree to the ancestral court of the human race, granting Fuxi the title of the common ruler of the human race and allowing him to lead the entire Yanhuang human race.
After receiving the order, the Human Race Elder Chisongzi personally carried the imperial edict to the Huaxu tribe, conveyed the Human Emperor's command, and then led Fuxi to Chendu at the foot of Buyoukongfang Mountain.
This Chendu is the center of the entire Yanhuang human race, and it is also the capital city recognized by hundreds of millions of people.
Only after Fuxi sat in Chendu and received the worship of all the tribal chiefs could he be considered the true ruler of the human race.
Fuxi's wisdom and virtue had long been known throughout the human race, and the news that the Human Emperor had appointed him as the supreme ruler had also spread throughout the world.
As a result, the chieftains of various tribes rushed to pay homage to Fuxi and acknowledge his identity...
From then on, Fuxi became the true ruler of the entire human race.
Next, using his status as the supreme ruler, he taught all the human tribes about inventions such as fishing, hunting, and domesticating livestock, which greatly improved the living standards of the entire human race and spread his wisdom throughout the world...
